In this paper we present a vision based place recognition method which uses Bayesian method with feed back of image retrieval. Both Bayesian method and image retrieval method are based on interest features that are invariant to many image transformations. The interest features are detected using Harris-Laplacian detector and then descriptors are generated from the image patches centered at the features' position in the same manner of SIFT. The Bayesian method contains two stages: learning and recognition. The image retrieval result is fed back to the Bayesian recognition to achieve robust and confidence. The experimental results show the effectiveness of our method.

Image co-registration is the process of overlaying two images of the same scene. One of which is a reference image, while the other (sensed image) is geometrically transformed to the one. Numerous methods were developed for the automated image co-registration and it is known as a timeconsuming and/or computation-intensive procedure. In order to improve efficiency and effectiveness of the co-registration of satellite imagery, this paper proposes a pre-qualified area matching, which is composed of feature extraction with Laplacian filter and area matching algorithm using correlation coefficient. Moreover, to improve the accuracy of co-registration, the outliers in the initial matching point should be removed. For this, two outlier detection techniques of studentized residual and modified RANSAC algorithm are used in this study. Three pairs of Landsat images were used for performance test, and the results were compared and evaluated in terms of robustness and efficiency.

본 연구에서는 입체영상을 위한 실시간 스테레오 화면을 생성하는 기법 중에서 특별히 깊이 감도를 충실하게 구현할 수 있는 새로운 알고리즘에 대하여 다루어 본다. 제안한 내용 중에는 깊이 질감에 간접적 영향을 주는 빛의 강도를 물리학에서 이용되는 라플라시안 방정식에 근거를 두어 영상처리를 하는 개념도 다루어 본다. 본 논문에서 다루어 진 내용들은 N.Holliman 교수의 연구 내용 중 다중영역 알고리즘과 유사하나, 큰 차이점은 본 연구에서는 관찰자와 피사체 사이의 거리를 고려하고, 여기에 라플라시안 방정식의 개념을 도입한 부분이다. 제안된 알고리즘은 원형편광 처리가 된 LCD 화면에 OpenGL 라이브러리 함수를 이용하여 구현되었으며, 실제 인체의 시각의 생체적인 기능 하에서 입체적인 느낌이 잘 발휘되도록 처리를 하였다 비록 현재는 가상적으로 생성한 입체화된 물체에 대하여 컴퓨터 시뮬레이션을 시도하였지만, 본 논문에서 다루어진 알고리즘은 개인 컴퓨터의 편광모니터는 물론 공중파용 입체 단말기에도 적용가능하리라 사료된다.

본 연구는 수치사진측량학과 전산기 시각 분야의 연구를 통하여 발전하고 있는 영상정합기법을 적용하여 사진지표의 관측과 위치결정을 자동화하는데 목적이 있다. 이러한 자동화과정에서 주된 문제점은 계산을 수행하는데 있어서의 시간을 최소화하고 위치결정의 정확도를 높이는 것이다. 본 연구에서는 스캐닝과정과 기준점의 절대적인 위치를 구하는 과정을 제외하고 영상 정합기법과 영상처리 기법을 이용하여 내부표정 과정을 자동화하였다. 본 연구에 의해서 개발된 체계를 근거리사진측량에 의한 결과를 적용하였으며 결과를 분석한 결과 최대 54%까지 계산시간이 절감되었다. 내부표정과정동안 사진지표의 관측에 대해서, Laplacian of Gaussian 변환과 휴 변환을 각각 영상의 중심점의 정확한 결정을 위하여 적용하였으며, 상관계수영상정합과 최소제곱 영상정합기법을 사진지표의 정확한 위치결정을 위하여 사용하였다. 영상피라미드의 개념을 사진지표의 자동 관측과정에 적용하여 계산시간을 절감할 수 있었다.

Many recent studies have reported that the quality of input learning data was vital to the detection of regions of interest. However, due to a lack of research on the quality of learning data on lesion detetcting using gastroscopy, we aimed to quantify the impact of quality difference in endoscopic images to lesion detection models using Image Quality Assessment (IQA) algorithms. Through IQA methods such as BRISQUE (Blind/Referenceless Image Spatial Quality Evaluation), Laplacian Score, and PSNR (Peak Signal-To-Noise) algorithm on 430 sheets of high quality data (HQD) and 430 sheets of low quality data (PQD), we showed that there were significant differences between high and low quality images in lesion detecting through BRISQUE and Laplacian scores (p<0.05). The PSNR value showed 10.62±1.76 dB on average, illustrating the lower lesion detection performance of PQD than HQD. In addition, F1-Score of HQD showed higher detection performance at 77.42±3.36% while F1-Score of PQD showed 66.82±9.07%. Through this study, we hope to contribute to future gastroscopy lesion detection assistance systems that involve IQA algorithms by emphasizing the importance of using high quality data over lower quality data.

The wavelet transform was adopted as the transform for JPEG2000. However, wavelet has weakness about smoothness along the contours and limited directional information. So we use to other transform, called contourlet transform in compression. Objective quality assessment methods currently used Peak signal to noise Ratio(PSNR). But that is not very well matched to perceived visual quality. So new image quality assessment is required. In this paper, we propose a new method for image compression based on the contourlet transform, which has been recently introduced. In addition we evaluated compression image quality using PSNR and SSIM. Finally contourlet transform has a good result about images with smooth contours and SSIM is good method for image evaluation compared to PSNR.

Because of the dynamic range limitation of digital equipment, it is impossible to obtain dark and bright areas at the same time with one shot. In order to solve this problem, an exposure fusion technique for fusing a plurality of images photographed at different exposure amounts into one is being studied. Among them, Laplacian pyramid decomposition based fusion method can generate natural HDR image by fusing images of various scales. But this requires a lot of computation time. Therefore, in this paper, we propose an approximation technique that achieves similar performance and greatly shortens computation time. The concept of vanishing point image for approximation is introduced, and the validity of the proposed approach is verified by comparing the computation time with the resultant image.

The paper presents an algorithm for estimating the variance of additive zero mean Gaussian noise in an image. The algorithm uses the wavelet transform which is a good tool for energy compaction. The algorithm consists of three steps. At first, high frequency components, wavelet coefficients in HH band, are generated from a noisy image by the wavelet transform. In a second step, high frequency components which are out of the noise range ate eliminated. Finally, if the image has many components eliminated in the previous step, then its noise estimated value is reduced. Experimental results show that the wavelet filter has better performance than the other high pass filters such as a Laplacian filter, residual from a median filter, residual from a mean filter, and a difference operator. In various images, the algorithm reduces 50% of estimated error on an average.

In this paper, we propose a prgressive image transmission technique using hierarchical pyramid data structure which is constructed based on the projection data of an image. To construct hierarchical Gaussian pyramids, we first divide an image into 4$\times$4 subblocks and generate the projection data of each block along the horizontal, vertical, diagonal, and antidiagonal directions. Among images reconstructed by backprojecting the projection data along a single direction, the one giving the minimum distortion is selected. The Gaussian pyramid is recursively generated by the proposed algorithm and the proposed Gaussian images are shown to preserve edge information well. Also, based on the projection concept a new transmission scheme of the lowest Laplacian plane is presented. Computer simulation shows that the quantitative performance of the proposed pyramid coding technique using projection concept is similar to those of the conventional methods with transmission rate reduced by 0.1 ~ 0.2 bpp and its subjective performance is shown to be better due to the edge preserving property of a projection operation.

The constrained average method is one of dither methods which combines edge emphasis and grayscale rendition to provide legibility of textual region and proper quality of continuous tone region. How-ever, image quality of continuous tone region is insufficient compared to other dither methods, such as ordered dither methods or the error diffusion method. The constrained average method uses a uniform distribution function to decide number of lit pixels related to the average intensity in a picture area. However, actual distribution of continuous tone region is closer to the Laplacian distribution or triangle distribution. In this paper, we introduce various probability distributions and the actual luminance distribution to decide the threshold value of the constrained average method in order to improve image quality of dithered image.
