Digital image forgery is becoming a topic of great interest with regard to honesty in imaging. We can often see forged digital images in a variety of places, such as the internet, and magazines, and in images used in political ads, etc. These can reduce the reliability and factual basis of the information contained in image. Therefore, objectivity is needed to determine if the image is forged so as to prevent confusion in the viewing public. Most digital forgeries consist of image resizing, rotating including the following interpolations. To find evidence of interpolation in forged images, this paper proposes a new method for detecting digital image forgery using general interpolation factors analyzed through re-interpolation algorithm of the forged images in order to determine the differences in the patterns. Through the re-interpolation algorithm we could detect the forged region and filtering region used image retouching included to interpolation.

Even after establishment of H.264/AVC standard, the video coding experts group (VCEG) of ITU-T has researched on development of promising coding techniques to increase coding efficiency based on the key technology area (KTA) software. Recently, the joint collaboration team video coding (JCT-VC) which was composed of the VCEG and the motion picture experts group (MPEG) of ISO/IEC is developing a next-generation video standard namely HEVC intended to gain twice efficiency than H.264/AVC. An adaptive interpolation technique, one of various next-generation techniques, reported higher coding efficiency. However, it has high computational complexity and does not deal with various error characteristics for videos. In this paper, we investigate characteristics of interpolation filters and propose an effective fixed interpolation filter bank including diverse properties of error. Experimental results is shown that the proposed method achieved bitrate reduction by 0.7% and 1.3% compared to fixed directional interpolation filter (FDIF) of the KTA and the directional interpolation filter (DIF) of the HEVC test model, respectively.

Interpolation schemes are used widely in image magnification. Magnified image generated by interpolation scheme is composed of the known pixels in input image and the interpolated pixels estimated from the known pixels in input image. So, as the interpolated pixels are estimated to have locality which exists in real images, the magnified image is much closer to the real image. In this paper, an efficient interpolation scheme was proposed to provide locality for the interpolated pixels by using the characteristics of adjacent pixels in input image. The quality of magnified image using the proposed scheme was improved. In experiment, PSNR(Peak Signal to Noise Ratio) was used to evaluate the performance of the proposed scheme. The PSNR's of the magnified images generated by the proposed scheme were greater than those of the magnified images generated by the previous interpolation methods.

In this study, we analyzed the soil salinity of Saemangeum agricultural land using GIS spatial interpolation method. Dominant soils series of experimental sites were Munpo (coarseloamy, mixed, non-acid, mesic, typically fluvaquents), which was based on the fluvio-marine deposit. Soil samples were periodically collected at 0~20cm and 20~40cm layer from each site. First, the distribution characteristics of EC, ESP, and SAR according to spatial interpolation were analyzed using 142 sample points. Through the error analysis of 143 validation points, the IDW method for EC and SAR, and the Kriging interpolation method for ESP were selected as the optimal interpolation method. Using the optimal interpolation method, the characteristics of EC, ESP, and SAR were analyzed for the change of soil salinity from 2014 to 2016. As a result, EC, ESP and SAR were decreased by 0.26mg/L, 5.97mg/L and 0.73mg/L respectively due to the dilution effect caused by rainfall.

The interpolation of missing AIS data can be used for recovering the lost data of a ship's state which is then able to produce useful information for VTS stations or other ships. Previous research has introduced some interpolating methods however there are some problems with regard to missing AIS data. This paper proposes one new method which includes linear interpolation, cubic Hermit interpolation and an identification mechanism to overcome some of those limitations, first AIS data regarding ship position, COG, SOG and HDG is divided into separate time series, then the characteristic of the missing data is investigated into through using an identification mechanism, an appropriate interpolation is selected to fit all the time series which matches the characteristics. Numerical experiments are carried out using real AIS data to validate the algorithm of this approach and the results are compared with the previous method, after which the actual missing area is suggested to be interpolated by the proposed method. The interpolation results show this approach can be applied well in practice.

In this paper, we propose a deep neural network-based sound interpolation method for realizing virtual reality sound. Through this method, sound between two points is generated by using acoustic signals obtained from two points. Sound interpolation can be performed by statistical methods such as arithmetic mean or geometric mean, but this is insufficient to reflect actual nonlinear acoustic characteristics. In order to solve this problem, in this study, the sound interpolation is performed by training the deep neural network based on the acoustic signals of the two points and the target point, and the experimental results show that the deep neural network-based sound interpolation method is superior to the statistical methods.

In this paper, we propose an interpolation technique to rain attenuation data which represents dynamic characteristics by time variations. By using this technique, it is possible to sample the rain attenuation data at an arbitrary time interval, and thus it would play an important role in developing adaptive transmission scheme for countermeasuring rain attenuation. We propose the interpolation technique which can synthesizes rain attenuation data by extracting the most proper parameters required to emulate the dynamic characteristics of rain attenuation. Interpolation results to measured data of I minute time interval will be demonstrated, and it is shown that more exact performance evaluation of adaptive transmission scheme to countermeasure rain attenuation can be achieved.

Rainfall is one of crucial factors that impact on our environment. Rainfall data is important in water resources management, flood forecasting, and designing hydraulic structures. However, it is not available in some rural watersheds without rain gauges. Thus, effective ways of interpolating the available records are needed. Despite many widely used spatial interpolation methods, few studies have investigated rainfall center characteristics. Based on the theory that the spatial distribution of convective rainfall event has a definite center with maximum rainfall, we present a mathematical interpolation method to estimate convective rainfall distribution and indicate the rainfall center location and the center rainfall volume. We apply the method to estimate three convective rainfall events in Santa Catalina Island where reliable hydrological data is available. A cross-validation technique is used to evaluate the method. The result shows that the method will suffer from high relative error in two situations: 1) when estimating the minimum rainfall and 2) when estimating an external site. For all other situations, the method's performance is reasonable and acceptable. Since the method is based on a continuous function, it can provide distributed rainfall data for distributed hydrological model sand indicate statistical characteristics of given areas via mathematical calculation.

This paper deals with the precision NURBS interpolator for wire-EDM. Previous research about OAC (Open Architecture Controller) is mostly aimed at NC cutting machines such as milling or lathes, and hence these results are inadequate to apply to wire-EDM. In contradiction to NC machines, wire-EDM operates relatively slow feed rates and based on a feedback control loop to the machining process. The 2-stage interpolation method which reflects wire-EDM specific characteristics was proposed. The constant interpolation error could be acquired through 1 st stage interpolation. Feed rate regulation was performed through 2nd stage interpolation. The suggested algorithm was implemented to test-bed PC-NC system. Computer simulations and the experimental machining were conducted.

We developed a novel frame interpolation method to interpolate a frame between two successive original frames. Using this method, we are able to apply a double-rate driving method instead of an impulse driving method where a black frame is inserted between two successive original frames. The double-rate driving method enables amelioration of the motion blur of LCDs caused by the characteristics of human vision without reducing the luminosity of the whole screen. The image quality of the double-rate driving method was also found to be better than that of an impulse driving method using our motion picture simulator and an actual panel. Our initial model of our frame interpolation method consists of motion estimation with a maximum matching pixel count estimation function, an area segmentation technique, and motion compensation with variable segmentation threshold. Although salt and pepper noise remained in a portion of an object mainly due to inaccuracy of motion estimation, we verified the validity of our method and the possibility of improvement in hold-type motion blurring.
