A simple bispectral threshold technique which reflects the temporal and spatial characteristics of the analysis area has been developed to classify the cloud type and estimate the cloud cover from GMS/S-VISSR(Stretched Visible and Infrared Spin Scan Radiometer) imagery. In this research, we divided the analysis area into land and sea to consider their different optical properties and used the same time observation data to exclude the solar zenith angle effects included in the raw data. Statistical clear sky radiance(CSRs) was constructed using maximum brightness temperature and minimum albedo from the S-VISSR imagery data during consecutive two weeks. The CSR used in the cloud anaysis was updated on the daily basis by using CSRs, the standard deviation of CSRs and present raw data to reflect the daily variation of temperature. Thresholds were applied to classify the cloud type and estimate the cloud cover from GMS/S-VISST imagery. We used a different thresholds according to the earth surface type and the thresholds were enough to resolve the spatial variation of brightness temperature and the noise in raw data. To classify the ambiguous pixels, we used the time series of 2-D histogram and local standard deviation, and the results showed a little improvements. Visual comparisons among the present research results, KMA's manual analysis and observed sea level charts showed a good agreement in quality.

It does not exist almost that Most satellite image has both high spectral and spatial resolution. In order to apply the satellite image for to be actual, we need numerical and analytical technique development to improve the resolution. Specially in the function of solid illustration, we represent the solid image through the image generation to solid screen. The main function includes magnification, reduction, screen center movement, Panning, territory magnification. The method to process the image includes histogram and contrast modulation. Afterwards, we will develop the function includes 3-dimension cursor to control the elevation position and calculate the ground coordination automatically. There is the layer control includes the representation and the edition of 3D vector, extraction the Z value by On the Ground and digital elevation.

The purpose of this study is to estimate evapotranspiration and its spatial distribution using NOAA-AVHRR data. Evapotranspiration phenomena are exceedingly complex. But, factors which control evapotranspiration can be considered that these are reflected by conditions of the vegetation. To evaluate the vegetation condition as a fixed quantity, the NDVI(Normalized Difference Vegetation Index) calculated from NOAA data is utilized. In this study, land cover classification of the Korean peninsula using property of NDVI is performed. Also, from the relationship between evapotranspiration and NDVI histograms, evapotranspiration and its distribution of the Han River basin are estimated.

본 논문에서는 내용 기반의 화상 검색 시스템을 위한 화상 특징 추출을 고속으로 수행하기 위하여 TCP/IP 프로토콜을 사용하는 LAN 환경에서 유휴(Idle) PC들을 사용한 PC 클러스터에 관해 연구하였다. 실험에 사용한 화상 특징(Image feature)으로서는 칼라의 응집도를 사용하는 CCV(Color Coherence Vector), 화상의 엔트로피를 정량화한 PIM(Picture Information Measure), Gaussian-Laplacian 에지 검출 연산을 사용한 SEV(Spatial Edge Histogram Vector)로서 이들을 추출하기 위한 Task를 Master rude에서 Slave rude들로 전송하고, 연산에 사용 될 화상 데이터를 전송한 후 연산을 수행하고 결과를 다시 Master node로 전송하는 전통적인 Task-Farming형태의 PC Cluster를 구성하였다. 연산에 참여하는 클러스터 노드의 개수를 증가시키며 Task와 화상데이터를 전송하여 이에 따른 연산시간을 측정하고 비교하였다. 실험 결과는 유휴 PC들로 구성된 PC클러스터를 이용한 효율적인 내용기반의 화상 검색 시스템을 구성하기 위해 활용이 가능하다.

본 논문에서는 초음파 영상의 대한 내용기반 검색을 위한 초음파 영상의 특징 추출방법과 추출된 특징들을 이용한 검색 방법에 대해 제안한다. 내용기반 초음파 영상 검색을 위한 특징들로 공간영역에서 히스토그램과 웨이브릿 변환후 각 부대역에서 통계적 특성을 추출한다. 웨이브릿 변환 영역에서 추출된 특성은 질의 영상과 유사한 영상의 특성 벡터 거리가 평균 특성 벡터 거리보다 작다는 특성을 가진다. 이러한 특성을 이용하여 일차 검색을 수행하여 그 결과를 공간영역의 히스토그램을 이용한 이차 검색을 위한 후보로 사용함으로써 이차 검색의 대상이 줄어들게 된다. 히스토그램을 이용한 검색은 대상이 많을수록 오류를 범할 가능성이 높아짐으로 검색대상을 줄인다는 것은 매우 중요한 일이다. 또한 히스토그램을 사용함으로써 영상내 의학적 객체의 이동이나 회전에 무관하게 검색을 수행할 수 있다.

In this paper we propose an efficient content-based image retrieval method using the color and wavelet based features. The color features are extracted from color histograms of the global image and the wavelet based features are extracted from the invariant moments of the high-pass band image through the spatial-frequency analysis of the wavelet transform. The proposed algorithm, called color and wavelet features based query(CWBQ), is composed of two-step query operations for efficient image retrieval: the coarse level filtering operation and the fine level matching operation. In the first filtering operation, the color histogram feature is used to filter out the dissimilar images quickly from a large image database. The second matching operation applies the wavelet based feature to the retained set of images to retrieve all relevant images successfully. The experimental results show that the proposed algorithm yields more improved retrieval accuracy with computationally efficiency than the previous methods.

본 논문에서는 공간 히스토그램과 웨이브렛 모멘트를 융합하여 검색 효율을 크게 향상시키는 방법을 제안한다. 이 방법에서는 질의영상과 DB영상간의 유사도를 구할 때 히스토그램의 유사도와 웨이브렛 모멘트의 유사도를 효과적으로 융합한다. 즉, 공간적 이동, 회전 등에 강한 히스토그램 특징과 주파수 대역별로 구해지는 웨이브렛 모멘트 특징을 잘 융합함으로써 검색성능의 향상을 추구한다. 제안한 방법의 성능을 평가하기 위한 시험영상 DB로는 Brodatz 질간 영상 DB와 Corel Draw Photo 영상 DB를 사용하였다. 실험 결과, 제안한 방법으로 구한 검색율이 Brodatz DB에서 히스토그램이나 웨이브렛 모멘트만으로 구한 검색율보다 각각 5.3%와 13.8% 향상되었고, Corel Draw Photo DB에서는 각각 15.5%와 3.2% 향상됨을 확인할 수 있었다.

Recently, it has become an important problem to extract semantic objects from videos, which are useful for improving the performance of video compression and video retrieval. In this thesis, an automatic extraction method of moving objects of interest in video is suggested. We define that an moving object of interest should be relatively large in a frame image and should occur frequently in a scene. The moving object of interest should have different motion from camera motion. Moving object of interest are determined through spatial continuity by the AMOS method and moving histogram. Through experiments with diverse scenes, we found that the proposed method extracted almost all of the objects of interest selected by the user but its precision was 69% because of over-extraction.

Many image display devices allow only a limited number of colors to be simultaneously displayed. In displaying of natural color image using color palette, it is necessary to construct an optimal color palette and map each pixel of the original image to a color palette with fast. In this paper, we proposed the clustering algorithm using local region block centered one color cluster in the prequantized 3-D histogram. Cluster pairs which have the least distortion error are merged by considering distortion measure. The clustering process is continued until to obtain the desired number of colors. Same as the clustering process, original color image is mapped to palette color via a local region block centering around prequantized original color value. The proposed algorithm incorporated with a spatial activity weighting value which is smoothing region. The method produces high quality display images and considerably reduces computation time.

This paper introduces a method about water line detection using SAR image. The method includes pre-processing of the SAR image with the threshold of the histogram to recognize the boundary between the water and the landmass area. Finally we applied the image differentiation to detect the water line in the SAR image. The TerraSAR-X and the Cosmo-SkyMed images, which are the high spatial resolution X-band SAR data, are used for the evaluation of our algorithm. The accuracy is verified over the stream line in urban area with the result from the Cosmo-SkyMed.
