This paper represents a new edge relaxation algorithm that enhances the noisy boundary informations in images. The proposed algorithm employes relaxation process that reduces or eliminates ambiguities of derivative operator response via contextual informations. The contextual informations are the neighborhood patterns of a central edge which are estimated using fuzzy pattern matching technique. The algorithm is developed on crack edges. Experimental results show that the proposed scheme is effective even for noisy images or low contrast images.

This paper proposes a reversible information hiding method for binary images. A half of pixels in noisy blocks on cover images is candidate for embeddable pixels. Among the candidate pixels, we select compressive pixels by bit patterns of its neighborhood to compress the pixels effectively. Thus, embeddable pixels in the proposed method are compressive pixels in noisy blocks. We provide experimental results using several binary images binarized by the different methods.

본 논문에서는 잡음영상에서 효과적인 에지검출을 위해 이표본 위치문제(two-sample location Problem)에서 잘 알려진 선형 순위 검정법(linear raft test)인 Wilcoxon 검정법, Median 검정법 그리고 Van der Waerden 검정법을 적용하고자 한다. 에지 존재 유무는 에지-높이 모수(edge-height parameter)를 사용한 모형 하에서 인접한 두 개의 근방영역간의 평균 차이를 검정함으로서 통계적으로 결정한다. 여기서 근방영역의 크기와 형태는 에지검출을 위한 계산 속도와 에지방향을 고려하여 적응성 있게(adaptively) 결정하였다. 통계적 방법들의 에지검출 성능을 평가하기 위해 자연영상(natural images)과 인조영상(synthetic images) 그리고 잡음이 추가된 영상에 대해 실험을 실시하고 비교 분석하였다.

This paper presents a method to find motion vectors that are closer to true motion with noisy images for simultaneous noise reduction and do-interlacing. The proposed method requires four interlaced field images: one noisy field image and three field images from which noise is already removed. The validation of motion provides accurate motion vectors and allows us to utilize them even in very noisy environment. The validated motion vectors are first used for the noise reduction, buffered and used later for the noise reduction and de -interlacing.

We describe a new edge detector based on the robust rank-order (RRO) test which is a useful alternative to Wilcoxon test, using $r{\times}r$ window for detecting edges of all possible orientations in noisy images. Some experiments of statistical edge detectors based on the Wilcoxon test and T test with our RRO detector are carried out on synthetic and real images corrupted by both Gaussian and impulse noise. We also implement these edge detectors using Java on the Web.

This paper presents an algorithm to separate vowels from consonants in Korean characters captured in noisy images and to recognize them. The algorithm has been originally developed for the recognition of the usage code (which is represented by a single Korean character) in the license plates or Korean vehicles. It, however, could be easily adopted to other applications with minor changes, in which character recognition is needed and the environment is noisy. The key ideas or the algorithm are to localize the vowels utilizing the Hough transformation and to separate the vowels from consonants utilizing mathematical morphology. We observed that the presented algorithm effectively separates vowels even if the vowels and consonants are joined together after thresholding. We also observed that our algorithm outperforms some conventional algorithms especially when the input images are noisy. The details of the comparison study are presented in the paper.

This study aimed to compare filters for reducing speckle noise in ultrasound images using clinical liver images. We acquired the clinical liver ultrasound images, and noisy images were obtained by adding 0.01, 0.05, 0.10, and 0.50 intensity levels of speckle noise to the liver images. The Wiener filter, median modified Wiener filter, gamma filter, and Lee filter were designed for the noisy images by setting window sizes at 3×3, 5×5, and 7×7. The coefficient of variation (COV) and contrast to noise ratio (CNR) were calculated to evaluate noise reduction and various filters. Moreover, the filter with the highest image quality was selected and quantitatively compared to a noisy image. As a result, COV and CNR showed the noise improved result when the Lee filter was applied. Furthermore, the Lee filter image with a window size of 7×7 was noted to possess approximately a minimum of 1.28 to a maximum of 3.38 times better COV and a minimum of 2.18 to a maximum of 5.50 times better CNR than the noisy image. In conclusion, we confirmed that the Lee filter was effective in reducing speckle noise and proved that an appropriate window size needs to be set considering blurring.

Given a noisy sampled at equispaced points with white noise, we consider problems where the signal to be recovered is known to be positive; for example, images, chemical spectra or other measurements of intensities. Shrinking noisy wavelet coefficients via thresholding offers very attractive alternatives to existing methods of recovering signals from noisy data. In this paper, we propose a method of recovering the original signal from a corrupted noisy signal, guaranteeing the recovered signal positive. We first obtain wavelet coefficients by thresholding, and use a nonlinear optimization to find the denoised signal which must be positive. Numerical examples are used to illustrate the performance of the proposed algorithm.

에지검출은 컴퓨터비전과 영상처리 시스템에서 널리 사용되는 단계이다. 본 논문에서는 잡음영상에서 효율적인 에지검출을 위해 이표본 위치 문제에서 월콕슨 검정의 대안인 로버스트 순위-순서 검정에 기초한 새로운 검출법을 제안하였다. 제안된 방법은 $\delta$-에지모형하에서 $5\times5$ 윈도우의 부분 픽셀만으로 구성된 근방영역 간에 통계적으로 유의한 차이가 있는지를 조사하였다. 제안된 에지 검출법의 성능을 평가하기 위해 실제영상과 인조영상을 가지고 영상실험을 통하여 얻은 에지맵과 객관적인 척도하에서 양적으로 비교 분석하였다.
