This paper presents a new classified vector quantization (VQ) technique using a neural network model in the transform domain. Prior to designing a codebook, the proposed approach extracts class features from a set of images using self-organizing feature map (SOFM) that has the pattern recognition characteristics and the same as VQ objective. Since we extract the class features from the training images unlike previous approaches, the reconstructed image quality is improved. Moreover, exploiting the adaptivity of the neural network model makes our approach be easily applied to designing a new vector quantizer when the processed image characteristics are changed. After the generalized BFOS algorithm allocates the given bits to each class, codebooks of each class are also generated using SOFM for the maximal reconstructed image quality. In experimental results using monochromatic images, we obtained a good visual quality in the reconstructed image. Also, PSNR is comparable to that of other classified VQ technique and is higher than that of JPEG baseline system.

In this paper, an effective method for reconstruction of stereoscopic image pair through the regularized adaptive disparity estimation is proposed. Although the conventional adaptive disparity window matching can sharply improve the PSNR of a reconstructed stereo image, but there still exist some problems of overlapping between the matching windows and disallocation of the matching windows, because the size of the matching window tend to changes adaptively in accordance with the magnitude of the feature values. In the proposed method, the problems relating to the conventional adaptive disparity estimation scheme can be solved and the predicted stereo image can be more effectively reconstructed by regularizing the extimated disparity vector with the neighboring disparity vectors. From the experimental results, it is found that the proposed algorithm show improvements the PSNR of the reconstructed right image by about 2.36${\sim}$2.76 dB, on average, compared with that of conventional algorithms.

Computational integral imaging (CII) is a new method for 3D imaging and visualization. However, it suffers from seriously poor image quality of the reconstructed image as the reconstructed image plane increases. In this paper, to overcome this problem, we propose a CII method based on a smart pixel mapping (SPM) technique for partially occluded 3D object recognition, in which the object to be recognized is located at far distance from the lenslet array. In the SPM-based CII, the use of SPM moves a far 3D object toward the near lenslet array and then improves the image quality of the reconstructed image. To show the usefulness of the proposed method, we carry out some experiments for occluded objects and present the experimental results.

In this paper, the rotating plate method extracting signal and reconstructing original image was proposed. The rotating methode has cell detector array each of which has used in the medical diagnosis X-ray photography. The major problem using the simple horizontal moving or non-moving methode is the size and number of detector cells which have the considerable affection on the sharpness and resolution of the reconstructed image. Secondary, the estimated pixel values of non-detected real points which are placed between detector cells will be the distorted pixels in the reconstructed image. Therefore, the proposed rotating plate method has the exact distribution on the uncertain pixels which were reconstructed by conventional methods to solve there problems. And then, the image using the rotated plate's cell out put signal was reconstructed on the computer simulation. The method will rotated the detector array plate to solve the reconstruction from the detector size and number of conventional methods. The result of simulation has estimated the original pixel position and 81 pixel/mm resolution which the reconsiderlation of the detector's moving orientation, the proposed method has 25 pixel/mm resolution. These results have been represented by 3-D computer graphics.

무지도 경쟁학습을 이용하여 압축된 영상의 복원 후에 나타나는 테두리부분의 손상을 최소화하기 위한 영상압축 방법이 제안되었다. 제안된 영상압축방법은 영상데이터에서 테두리부분에 해당하는 데이터의 기하학적인 특징을 이용하는데, 영상데이터의 통계학적인 특성을 함께 이용하여 기존의 Centroid Neural Network을 일반화시키는 무지도 경쟁학습에 의하여 자동적으로 더욱 많은 code vector를 테두리부분에 배정함으로서 압축된 영상의 복원 후에 나타나는 테두리부분의 손상을 초소화하게 한다. 실험 결과, 기존의 SOM, M-SOM, M/R-CNN등과 비교하여 제안된 방법에 의해 압축된 영상의 복원된 테두리 부분에서 PSNR이 약 2dbv정도 향상된 결과를 보여줄 수 있었다.

Computer-Generated Hologram (CGH) is generally made by Fourier Transform. CGH is made by an optical reconstruction. Computer-Generated Pseudo Hologram (CGPH) is made up Complex Hadamard Transform instead of CGH which is made by the Fourier Transform. CGPH differs from CGH in point of view the possibility of optical reconstruction. There is an advantage that it cannot be optical reconstruction, in other word, physical leakage of the confidential information is impossible. In this paper, a binary image was converted in Complex Hadamard Transform, and CGPH was made. Improvement of the reconstructed image from CGPH is done by error diffusion method and iterative method. The result that the reconstructed image is improved is shown.

Conventional decoding procedures have some problems in order to obtain reconstructed images with high speed. In this paper, the solutions of these are studied and a new fast decoding algorithm is proposed. The proposed algorithm uses a convergence criterion that is used to reduce the redundant iteration in the conventional method and to determine continuation of decoding. The initical image similar to roiginal image is estimated firstly in this algorithm. From the simulation resuls, the proposed algorithm is able to achieve the reconstructed image within 3-4 iteration under the objective criterion. Without any increment of the memory, the quality of the image reconstructed by the proposed algorithm has same quality asthe conventional method.

Image compression techniques such as JPEG and MPEG induce losses of image quality. These losses are usually investigated on the spatial distortions from reconstructed images. Representative specifications are blocking artifacts, color bleeding and smearing. However, the compression techniques also influence the color information. The distortion of color information means distortion of gamut characteristics such as gamut size and unique color from the CIELAB values for each pixel in the reconstructed images. Accordingly, this paper introduces the investigation of the relationship between image compression and the gamut characteristics for reconstructed images using MPEG compression. The results show the consist variation of gamut, hue, and chroma due to MPEG compression.

CCD 카메라와 LCD를 사용하여 실시간 홀로그램 제작방법을 제안하였다. 본 시스템은 백색광을 사용하여 3차원 영상을 재생하기 위한 무지개 홀로그램 방법을 사용하였으며, CCD카메라의 낮은 해상도를 감안하여 간섭패턴의 간격을 크게 할 수 있는 in-line 홀로그램 제작방법을 사용하였다. 제안한 구성도로 간섭된 간섭패턴은 CCD카메라에 감지되고 비디오신호로 변환되어 LCD에 입력된다. 간섭패턴이 입력된 LCD에 백색광을 조사하여 영상을 재생하면 입체영상을 볼 수 있으며, 입력영상의 위치를 변화하면 재생영상도 같이 움직이는 실시간 홀로그램이 된다. 본 논문에서 제안된 방법이 백색광을 사용한 실시간 홀로그램 제작에 유용함을 확인하기 위하여 해상도가 높은 홀로그래픽 필름에 먼저 기록하여 재생해보고, 이를 다시 LCD에 기록하고 재생한 후 그 결과를 비교하였다. 또 기록시 기준파와 물체파의 세기비를 변화시켜 최적의 간섭조건을 도출하였다.

Images reconstructed with Maximum-Likelihood Expectation-Maximization (MLEM) algorithm have been observed to have checkerboard effects and have noise artifacts near edges as iterations proceed. To compensate this ill-posed nature, numerous penalized maximum-likelihood methods have been proposed. We suggest a simple algorithm of applying edge detecting process to the MLEM and Bayesian Expectation-Maximization (BEM) to reduce the noise artifacts near edges and remove checkerboard effects. We have shown by simulation that this algorithm removes checkerboard effects and improves the clarity of the reconstructed image and has good properties based on root mean square error (RMS).
