High quality image processing schemes are used more widely than ever according to the development of various visual media. We need a compressed form of image for sending more capacity and a controlling strategy of images for small display devices. In this paper, we propose an image upsampling and downsamplig scheme using DCT coefficients for those purposes. Our scheme is designed to control the size of picture based on the target display media by reducing the data in DCT domain while not increasing the computational burdens. With the power of controlling the resolution in DCT domain, the proposed method shows higher PSNR than other competing methods in experiment.

크기조절 트랜스코딩에서 움직임 벡터 재 예측 과정은 많은 연산량을 필요로 하기 때문에, 실시간 처리를 위해서는 이 과정의 연산량을 줄이는 것이 필요하다. 본 논문에서는 여러 영상에 대해 예측 움직임 벡터를 산출하는 방법을 적응적으로 수행함으로써, 기존 방법에 비해 화질열화 없이 연산량을 줄이는 방법을 제안한다. 전체 움직임의 크기와 움직임 벡터들의 균일성(homogeneity)을 이용하여 움직임이 작을 때는 움직임 벡터 재산출 과정 없이 예측 움직임 벡터 성분을 0으로, 움직임이 크면 움직임 벡터들의 균일성의 정도에 따라 평균값 또는 중간값을 예측 움직임 벡터 성분으로 적응적으로 선택하였다. 그리고 좀 더 효율적인 움직임 벡터 수행을 위해 제안된 과정을 수평, 수직 성분에 각각 따로 적용하였다. 가중치를 부여하여 평균값을 취하는 가중평균 방법과 비효 실험한 결과, 같은 PSNR을 유지하는 조건에서 움직임 벡터 재산출 과정의 덧셈과 곱셈 연산의 수가 평균적으로 각각 96%, 42% 정도 감소하였다.

Machine vision inspection systems have replaced human inspectors in defect inspection fields for several decades. However, the inspection results of machine vision are often affected by small changes of illumination. When small changes of illumination appear in image histograms, the influence of illumination can be decreased by transformation of the histogram. In this paper, we propose an enhanced histogram matching algorithm which corrects distorted histograms by variations of illumination. We use the resolution resizing method for an optimal matching of input and reference histograms and reduction of quantization errors from the digitizing process. The proposed algorithm aims not only for improvement of the accuracy of defect detection, but also robustness against variations of illumination in machine vision inspection. The experimental results show that the proposed method maintains uniform inspection error rates under dramatic illumination changes whereas the conventional inspection method reveals inconsistent inspection results in the same illumination conditions.

This study presents an effective stiffness-based optimal technique to control quantitatively lateral drift and evaluate the structural behavior characteristics and efficiency for tall outrigger system subject to lateral loads. To this end, displacement sensitivity depending on behavior characteristics of outrigger system is established and approximation concept that preserves the generality of the mathematical programming and can efficiently solve large scale problems is introduced. Specifically, under the 'constant-shape' assumption, resizing technique of member is developed. Four types of 50 story frameworks are presented to illustrate the features of the quantitative lateral drift control technique proposed in this study.

An optimization Program is developed to produce new topologies of plane structures under multiload case. A four-node finite element is used in the response analysis to reduce the computation time and to ultimately achieve practical topology optimization. The bilinear finite element is prone to produce chequer-boarding phenomenon and a simple filtering process is therefore adopted. An artificial material model is employed to represent the structural material and the resizing algorithm based on the optimality criteria is adopted to update the material density parameter during optimization process. With newly developed optimization program, the comparison study has been made between single and multiload cases and its results are described in this paper. From numerical results, it appears that multiload case should be considered to achieve the practical topology optimization.

In recent digital broadcasting, up to 250 channels are multiplexed and transmitted. The channel transmission is made in the form of MPEG-2 Transport Stream (TS) and transmits one channel (Video, Audio). In order to check if many broadcast channels are transmitted normally, in multi-channel multi-view system, ability of real-time monitoring is required. In order to monitor efficient multi-channel, a distributed system in which functions and load are distributed should be implemented. In the past, we used an inefficient system that gave all of the functionality to a piece of hardware, which limited the channel acceptance and required a lot of resources. In this paper, we implemented a distributed multi-view system which can reduce resources and monitor them economically through efficient function and load balancing. It is able to implement efficient system by taking charge of decoding, resizing and encoding function in specific server and viewer function in separate server. Through this system, the system was stabilized, the investment cost was reduced by 19.7%, and the wall monitor area was reduced by 52.6%. Experimental results show that efficient real-time channel monitoring for multi-channel digital broadcasting is possible.

Data compression techniques have been studied for decades because they saved space and time to reduce costs. The Lempel-Ziv 77 (LZ77) is a dictionary-based, lossless compression algorithm. The dictionary size of the LZ77 algorithm is fixed, and the performance of the algorithm is highly dependent on its dictionary size. In this paper, we suggest a dynamic LZ77 algorithm that changes its dictionary size during compression, and also we suggest a genetic algorithm to evolve the dictionary-resizing strategies. The suggested algorithm outperformed the original version up to about 16%.

This paper proposes a face tracking scheme that is a combination of a face detection algorithm and a face tracking algorithm. The proposed face detection algorithm basically uses the Adaboost algorithm, but the amount of search area is dramatically reduced, by using skin color and motion information in the depth map. Also, we propose a face tracking algorithm that uses a template matching method with depth information only. It also includes an early termination scheme, by a spiral search for template matching, which reduces the operation time with small loss in accuracy. It also incorporates an additional simple refinement process to make the loss in accuracy smaller. When the face tracking scheme fails to track the face, it automatically goes back to the face detection scheme, to find a new face to track. The two schemes are experimented with some home-made test sequences, and some in public. The experimental results are compared to show that they outperform the existing methods in accuracy and speed. Also we show some trade-offs between the tracking accuracy and the execution time for broader application.

Although widely used, the design of the bulbous bow for ships has been difficult due to the complex interference between the wave system generated by the bulb and the wave system of the ship hull. Until now, a bulbous bow has been often designed using Kracht charts, which were established based on model test data, but these charts apply only to ships with a block coefficient C_B = 0.56-0.82, Froude number Fn = 0.20-0.40, and the obtained bulb sizes are only close to optimal. This paper presents a new method for the optimal design of bulbous bow, starting from the design of an initial bulb using Kracht charts for ships with any block coefficient or Froude number, then resizing this initial bulb to define the optimal bulb sizes based on a multi-objective function of the required power reduction, and a combined solution of Computation Fluid Dynamics (CFD) analysis and surrogate models. This study was applied to a fishing vessel FAO 75, which has been model tested and used to design steel fishing vessels in Vietnam recently. The obtained quantitative results showed the same trend as the theory and practice, with a reduction of the ship's required power by about 14%.

The prompt development in the field of video is the outbreak of online services which replaces the television media within a shorter period in gaining popularity. The online videos are encouraged more in use due to the captions displayed along with the scenes for better understandability. Not only entertainment media but other marketing companies and organizations are utilizing videos along with captions for their product promotions. The need for captions is enabled for its usage in many ways for hearing impaired and non-native people. Research is continued in an automatic display of the appropriate messages for the videos uploaded in shows, movies, educational videos, online classes, websites, etc. This paper focuses on two concerns namely the first part dealing with the machine learning method for preprocessing the videos into frames and resizing, the resized frames are classified into multiple actions after feature extraction. For the feature extraction statistical method, GLCM and Hu moments are used. The second part deals with the deep learning method where the CNN architecture is used to acquire the results. Finally both the results are compared to find the best accuracy where CNN proves to give top accuracy of 96.10% in classification.
