In this paper, The turbo code is used to effectively remove noise which is generated on the image communication channel. Turbo code had excellent decoding performance. However, it had limitations for real time communication because of the system complexity and time delay in decoding procedure. To overcome this problem, this paper proposed a new SRI(Semi Random Interleaved algorithm, which decrease the time delay, when the image data, which reduced the interleaver size of turbo code encoder and decoder, transmitted. The SRI algorithm was composed of 0.5 interleaver size from input frame sequence. When the data inputs in interleaver, the data recorded by row such as block interleaver. But, When the data read in interleaver, the data was read by randomly and the next data located by the just address simultaneously. Therefore, the SRI reduced half-complexity when it was compared with pre-existing method such as block, helical, random interleaver. The image data could be the real time processing when the SRI applied to turbo code.

MPEG-NNR (Compression of Neural Network for Multimedia Content Description and Analysis) aims to define a compressed and interoperable representation of trained neural networks. In this paper, we present a low-rank approximation to compress a CNN used for image compression, which is one of MPEG-NNR use cases. In the presented method, the low-rank approximation decomposes one 2D kernel matrix of weights into two 1D kernel matrix values in each convolution layer to reduce the data amount of weights. The evaluation results show that the model size of the original CNN is reduced to half as well as the inference runtime is reduced up to about 30% with negligible loss in PSNR.

In this paper, we propose and discuss the design using a simple method that reduces the fixed pattern noise(FPN) generated on the amorphous Si($\alpha-Si$) bolometer. This method is applicable to an IR image sensor. This method can also minimize the size of the reference resistor in the readout integrated circuit(ROIC) which processes the signal of an IR image sensor. By connecting four bolometer cells in parallel and averaging the resistances of the bolometer cells, the fixed pattern noise generated in the bolometer cell due to process variations is remarkably reduced. Moreover an $\alpha-Si$ bolometer cell, which is made by a MEMS process, has a large resistance value to guarantee an accurate resistance value. This makes the reference resistor be large. In the proposed cell structure, because the bolometer cells connected in parallel have a quarter of the original bolometer's resistance, a reference resistor, which is made by poly-Si in a CMOS process chip, is implemented to be the size of a quarter. We designed a ROIC with the proposed cell structure and implemented the circuit using a 0.35 um CMOS process.

This paper describes novel scheme of a gray scale capacitive fingerprint image for high-accuracy capacitive sensor chip. The typical gray scale image scheme used a DAC of big size layout or charge-pump circuit of non-volatile memory with high power consumption and complexity by a global clock signal. A modified capacitive detection circuit of charge sharing scheme is proposed, which uses DLC(down literal circuit) based on a neuron MOS(vMOS) and analog simple multiplexor. The detection circuit is designed and simulated in 3.3V, $0.35{\mu}m$ standard CMOS process. Because the proposed circuit does not need a comparator and peripheral circuits, a pixel layout size can be reduced and the image resolution can be improved.

Improvement of the multichannel sea surface temperature(MCSST) software, which had been developed for the purpose of operating under mainframe computer system, was seeked in order to operate effectively in a mini computer system. CPU time and processing time, which is not a major factor under mainframe computer system, become a critical factor in real time image processing under mini computer system. Due to fixed kernel size(3$\times$4) of the old MCSST software, high spatial resolution characteristics of the original image received from satellites were apparently degraded when images are transformed into a cartesian coordinate system after geometrical distortions of the image due to earth curvature are removed. CPU and processing time were reduced to 0.13 and 0.15~0.22 comparing with the old MCSST's, respectively, by applying disk block I/O and M/T queue I/O method under VAX-11/750 computer. The high resolution quality (1.1km in AVHRR) of the processed image was guaranted using 2$\times$2 kernel size and applying moving window techniques without sacrificing CPU and processing time much.

In this study, TiO₂-polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) composite granules were prepared via spray drying technique. To investigate the effects of solid content and binder/powder ratio in the slurry on the granulation behavior of TiO₂ powders, the feed compositions were designed to vary over a wide range. The morphology, actual densities, and average granule size and size distribution of the TiO₂-PVA composite granules were characterized by using scanning electron microscopy technique, a gas pycnometer, and an image analyzing program (Image-J), respectively. The results indicate that solid content and the amount of PVA in the feedstock slurry are the dominant factors determining the granule morphology, size, and size distribution of TiO₂-PVA composite. Moreover, it was observed that increasing the solid content and the amount of PVA in the slurry improved the granulation process and reduced the granule defects. For the preparation of spherical TiO₂-PVA composite granules with the minimum amount of non-granulated powders, the optimized composition of the feedstock slurry was found to be 35 wt.% solid and 3 wt.% PVA.

The fisheye image acquired with a fisheye camera has wider field of view than a general use camera. But large distortion of the object in the image requires conversion of the fisheye image to the perspective image because of user's difficult perception. The existing Ishii's method[1] has the problem that the object can has sire and geometrical distortion in the transformed image because it uses equidistance projection. This paper presented a conversion technique of the fisheye image to the perspective image using sealing function. In the experiments, it was shown that our method reduced size and geometrical distortion by applying the scaling function.

Objectives: Self perceived body image among women is drawing a lot of attention in Korea due to their unhealthy weight control behaviors. To determine the relationship between self-perceived body image and dietary behaviors among Korean women, the discrepancy between actual body size and body image perception, weight control behaviors were assessed based on age groups using the 2010 KNHANES data. Methods: A total of 1,747 subjects were selected after eliminating those of likely changing their diet recently using the 2010 KNHANES data. The subjects were divided into 3 groups, self-underweight, self-normal, and self-obese according to their perception of body image. The BMI and weight control behaviors were assessed based on age groups according to the body image perception. Results: The younger, the higher ratio of underweight, women perceived their body size as normal or overweight. Exercise and reduced food intakes were dominant among various weight control methods but unhealthy methods were dominant among self perceived overweight group. Conclusions: Incorrect body image perception and unhealthy weight control behaviors can cause nutritional problems. Nutritional education should emphasize the importance of healthy weight and proper body image perception for Korean women.

In this paper, w epropose a fast fractal coding method based on correlation coefficients of subblocks in input image. In the proposed method, domain pool is selected based on correlation analysis of input image and the isometry transform for each block is chosen based on the IFS method. To investigate the performance of the proposed method, we compared image quality and encoding time with full search PIFS method and jacquin's PIFS method. Experimental results show that proposed method yields nearly the same performance in PSNR, and its encoding time is reduced for images size of 512*512 compared with full search PIFS method and jacquin's PIFS method.

This paper proposes a novel scheme of a gray scale fingerprint image for a high-accuracy capacitive sensor chip. The conventional grayscale image scheme uses a digital-to-analog converter (DAC) of a large-scale layout or charge-pump circuit with high power consumption and complexity by a global clock signal. A modified capacitive detection circuit for the charge sharing scheme is proposed, which uses a down literal circuit (DLC) with a floating-gate metal-oxide semiconductor transistor (FGMOS) based on a neuron model. The detection circuit is designed and simulated in a 3.3 V, 0.35 ${\mu}m$ standard CMOS process. Because the proposed circuit does not need a comparator and peripheral circuits, the pixel layout size can be reduced and the image resolution can be improved.
