In this paper, we propose fuzzy c-means (FCM) to solve recognition errors in invariant range image, multi-pose face recognition. Scale, center and pose error problems were solved using geometric transformation. Range image face data was digitized into range image data by using the laser range finder that does not depend on the ambient light source. Then, the digitized range image face data is used as a model to generate multi-pose data. Each pose data size was reduced by linear reduction into the database. The reduced range image face data was transformed to the gradient face model for facial feature image extraction and also for matching using the fuzzy membership adjusted by fuzzy c-means. The proposed method was tested using facial range images from 40 people with normal facial expressions. The output of the detection and recognition system has to be accurate to about 93 percent. Simultaneously, the system must be robust enough to overcome typical image-acquisition problems such as noise, vertical rotated face and range resolution.

In this paper, we propose an adaptive histogram projection technique for dynamic range compression and an efficient detail enhancement method which is enhancing strong edge while reducing noise. First, The high dynamic range image is divided into low-pass component and high-pass component by applying 'guided image filtering'. After applying 'guided filter' to high dynamic range image, second, the low-pass component of the image is compressed into 8-bit with the adaptive histogram projection technique which is using global standard deviation value of whole image. Third, the high-pass component of the image adaptively reduces noise and intensifies the strong edges using standard deviation value in local path of the guided filter. Lastly, the monitor display image is summed up with the compressed low-pass component and the edge-intensified high-pass component. At the end of this paper, the experimental result show that the suggested technique can be applied properly to the IR images of various scenes.

In this paper, a range image segmentation method is proposed. This method consists of an initial segmentation stage by discontinuous edge detection and surface type labeling based on the sign of the principal curvatures. Initially type labeled image is oversegmented, this image is merged via stepwise optimal region merging stage based on polynomial function approxiamtion. The successful segmentation results are presented for two synthetic range images with noise and a real-world ERIM range image.

In this paper, we propose a new fractal image decoding algorithm with fast convergence speed by using the data dependence and the improved initial image estimation. Conventional method for fractal image decoding requires high-degrdd computational complexity in decoding process, because of iterated contractive transformations applied to whole range blocks. On proposed method, Range of reconstruction imagte is divided into referenced range and data dependence region. And computational complexity is reduced by application of iterated contractive transformations for the referenced range only. Data dependence region can be decoded by one transformations when the referenced range is converged. In addition, more exact initial image is estimated by using bound () function in case of all, and an initial image more nearer to a fixed point is estimated by using range block division estimation. Consequently, the convergence speed of reconstruction iamge is improved with 40% reduction of computational complexity.

A high dynamic range (HDR) image can represent real world scenes that have a wide range of luminance intensity. However, compared with the range of real world luminance, conventional display devices have a low dynamic range (LDR). To display HDR images onto conventional displayable devices such as monitors and printers, we propose the logarithmic based global reproduction algorithm that considers the features of the image using reproduction parameters. Based on the characteristics of the image, we first modify the input luminance values for reproducing perceptually tuned images and then obtain the displayable output values directly. The experimental results show that the proposed algorithm achieves good subjective results while preserving details of the image; furthermore, the proposed algorithm has a fast, simple and practical structure for implementation.

본 논문에서는 iCAM06의 HDR (High Dynamic Range) 영상 렌더링을 위한 적응적 표준 편차를 이용한 자동레인지 고속 양방향 필터 (auto-range fast bilateral filter, FBF)를 제안한다. 다양한 노출 시간으로 촬영한 여러영상들은 전체 다이나믹 레인지를 포함한 한 장의 HDR 영상으로 만들어진다. HDR 영상 렌더링의 대표적인 알고리즘은 iCAM06이며, 이는 국부 백색 적응 (local white point adaptation), 색 순응 (color adaptation), 및 영상 처리 변환 (image processing transformation, IPT) 같은 iCAM 구조를 기초로 한다. iCAM06의 고속 양방향 필터는 레인지 필터에서 고정 표준 편차를 사용한다. 이는 넓고 낮은 분포를 가지는 고 자극치 영역에서 불필요한 고속 양방향 필터 계산의 원인이 된다. 이를 해결하기 위하여 XYZ 각 자극치 영상을 경계값에 의해 저 자극치 영상 및 고 자극치 영상으로 나눈 후, 각 자극치 영역에 대하여 히스토그램 분포에 기초한 가변 표준 편차를 이용한다. 실험 결과에서 제안한 방법이 기존의 고속 양방향 필터보다 계산 속도가 개선되었음을 확인하였다.

이미지 센서의 물리적 한계 가운데 공간 해상도의 제약과 다이내믹 레인지의 제약을 극복하기 위한 방법 가운데 신호처리기법에 기반하여 여러 장의 저해상도 영상으로부터 고해상도 영상을 복원하는 것과, 다이내믹 레인지가 좁은 여러 장의 영상으로부터 넓은 다이내믹 레인지를 갖는 영상을 복원하는 방법이 있다. 하지만, 일반적으로 실제 영상을 획득하는 과정에서 공간 해상도와 다이내믹 레인지의 제약을 동시에 받게 되므로, 이 두 제약을 동시에 극복하는 연구가 필요하다. 본 논문에서는 영상 장치의 응답 함수의 추정과 함께 공간 해상도와 다이내믹 레이지를 동시에 향상시킬 수 있는 알고리즘을 제안한다. 이를 위해 영상의 공간 해상도 제한과, 다이내믹 레인지의 제약을 포함하는 영상 획득 과정을 모델링하고, 이 영상 획득 모델을 기반으로 하여 영상 입력 장치의 응답 함수를 추정하고, 영상의 공간 해상도와 다이내믹 레인지를 동시에 향상시킬 수 있는 알고리즘을 제안한다. 실험 결과를 통해 제안된 알고리즘이 기존의 고해상도 복읜 알고리즘과 와이드 다이내믹 레인지 영상 복원을 연속적으로 처리한 결과보다 시각적, 수치적으로 더 좋은 결과를 보여줌을 확인할 수 있다.

The spectral color resolution of an image is very important in color image analysis. Two factors influencing the spectral color resolution of an image are illumination intensity and lens aperture for a selected vision system. An optimal combination of illumination intensity and lens aperture for color image analysis was determined in the study. The method was based on a model of dynamic range defined as the absolute difference between digital values of selected foreground and background color in the image. The role of illumination intensity in machine vision was also described and a computer program for simulating the optimal combination of two factors was implemented for verifying the related algorithm. It was possible to estimate the non-saturating range of the illumination intensity (input voltage in the study) and the lens aperture by using a model of dynamic range. The method provided an optimal combination of the illumination intensity and the lens aperture, maximizing the color resolution between colors of interest in color analysis, and the estimated color resolution at the combination for a given vision system configuration.

Recently, we proposed a 3-D range-image measuring system for a slowly moving object by mechanically scanning a laser light beam emitted from a self mixing laser diode. In this paper, we introduced that every object moves along a straight line course, which is set diagonally against the semiconductor laser beam so that we can recognize each shape and size parameters of objects separately from the acquired 3-D range-image. We measured a square mesa on a square plane as an object. The measured velocity was 4.44mm/s and 4.63mm/s with an error of 0.56mm/s to 0.37mm/s. And thickness error of the mesa was 0.5mm to 0.6mm, which was obtained from the 3-D range-image of the standstill or moving object with thickness of 17.Omm.
