In this paper, we present a robust global registration algorithm for multi-frame image mosaics. When we perform a pair-wise registration recovering a projective transformation between two consecutive frames, severe mis-registration among multiple frames, which are not consecutive, can be detected. It is because the concatenation of those pair-wise transformations leads to global alignment errors. To overcome those mis-registrations, we propose a new algorithm using multiple frames for constructing image mosaics. We use a graph to represent the temporal and spatial connectivity and show that global registration can be obtained through the search for an optimal path in the constructed graph. The definition of an adequate objective function characterizing the global registration provides a direct manipulation of the graph. In the presence of moving objects, especially large ones compared with low texture backgrounds, by using the likelihood ratio as the objective function, we can deal with some of the most challenging videos like basketball or soccer Moreover, the algorithm can be parallelized so it can be more efficiently implemented. Finally, we give some experimental results from real videos.

텍스처 정보는 정지 영상 뿐 아니라 동영상 분석에서도 많은 정보를 제공한다. 이러한 텍스처 정보를 동영상의 움직임 분류에 사용하여 기존의 색, 색영역의 배치 정보, 기준 형상, 명도 텍스처 등을 기본 탐색 키로 삼는 동영상 검색 시스템에 텍스처 특성을 움직임 정보에 적용하여 저 수준 정보에서 움직임 정보가 직접적으로 추출될 수 있음을 보였다. 이 방법의 장점은 배경 소거, 오브젝트 추출 및 추적, 참조 곡선 탐색 등 많은 계산량을 요구하는 연산들이 없이도 움직임 정보를 압축 동영상에서 추출할 수 있다는 것이다. 또한 동영상은 데이터의 양이 매우 크기 때문에 압축되어 있는 것이 필수인데 본 연구에서는 웨이브릿으로 압축되어 있는 동영상에서 움직임 정보가 고주파 부분에 집중되어 있는 점을 이용하여 역변환을 거치지 않고 직접 템포럴 텍스처를 생성하였다. 따라서 계산 속도를 향상시켰으며 계산 과정도 행렬 연산을 기본으로 수행하여 계산 과정을 간단하게 하였다.

This paper describes the method of using IKONOS imagery in the development of agriculture-related data inventories. Temporally different three images of panchromatic (1m resolution) and multi-spectral bands (4m resolution) were used to obtain the distribution and characteristics of rice, pear, grape, red pepper, garlic, and reservoir surface area with the field surveys. The result of this study suggests the utility of KOMPSAT-II, which increases the use of the crop and water resources data in rural areas by accumulating temporal data inventories.

The lysimeter experiment was conducted to investigate the temporal changes of irrigation requirement, soil water percolation and rice root distribution during rice growing period under different soil texture that were sandy loam, clay loam and clay paddy soil in 1999 and 2000. The irrigation requirement in the first year was 3,306 l/$m^2$ in clay loam, 2,650 l/$m^2$ in sandy loam and 2,002 l/$m^2$ in clay soil. However, the highest irrigation requirement was 5,281 l/$m^2$ in sandy loam and the next was 4,984 l/$m^2$ in clay loam and 3,968 l/$m^2$ in clay soil in the second year, Soil water percolation in the first year was 2,141 l/$m^2$ in clay loam, 1,228 l/$m^2$ in Sandy loam and 862 l/$m^2$ in clay soil. However, in the second year, the highest water percolation of 4,448 l/$m^2$ was measured in sandy loam, and was followed by 3,833 l/$m^2$ in clay loam and 2,925 l/$m^2$ in clay soil. Distribution ratio of rice roots measured in 0-10cm of soil depth was 56.0% in sandy loam, 61.4% in clay loam and 72.1% in clay soil, respectively. It was interpreted that the greater water percolation measured in the second year was caused mainly by the large amount of rice root growth. Therefore, it was concluded that the soil water percolation in rice paddy soil was affected greatly not only by soil texture but also the growth of rice root.

Most multimedia data contain text to emphasize the meaning of the data, to present additional explanations about the situation, or to translate different languages. But, the left makes it difficult to reuse the images, and distorts not only the original images but also their meanings. Accordingly, this paper proposes a support vector machines (SVMs) and spatiotemporal restoration-based approach for automatic text detection and removal in video sequences. Given two consecutive frames, first, text regions in the current frame are detected by an SVM-based texture classifier Second, two stages are performed for the restoration of the regions occluded by the detected text regions: temporal restoration in consecutive frames and spatial restoration in the current frame. Utilizing text motion and background difference, an input video sequence is classified and a different temporal restoration scheme is applied to the sequence. Such a combination of temporal restoration and spatial restoration shows great potential for automatic detection and removal of objects of interest in various kinds of video sequences, and is applicable to many applications such as translation of captions and replacement of indirect advertisements in videos.

This study was conducted to evaluate the quality characteristics. Trehalose was used to manufacture rice bread in two ways: one was to substitute trehalose for sugar by (0, 25, 50, and 75%) trehalose in each sample and the other was to analyze the temporal changes in rice bread on Day 0, on Day 2, and on Day 4. The results concerning the characteristics of specific volumes, water content, water activity, variation in weight and height, physical property test, and sensory test and measurements of the temporal changes are as follows: First, as for variation in specific volumes, rice bread containing trehalose had the content and temporal changes decrease significantly (p<0.001). Second, as for texture, a higher trehalose content led to a slightly lower level of hardness. As for the temporal changes, addition of trehalose is generally effective in decreasing hardness of rice bread. the sample containing trehalose showed an almost similar value. The control group not containing trehalose showed the significantly lowest level of cohesiveness, springiness, Chewiness. Finally, the sensory evaluations revealed that the taste, Flavor, and Sweetness was at a significantly higher level in the group with trehalose substituted for sugar than in the control group. An increase in the trehalose content led to an increase in overall eating quality.

Generally existing video codec employs entropy coding to deal with residual signals with considering temporal and spatial properties. Scalable Video Coding(SVC) which is extension of H.264/AVC has three technical concepts for removing redundancies between inter-layers. In spite of using novel prediction method between inter-layers in SVC, it is still using same entropy coding method to residual signals. According to the studies, the residual obtained by inter-layer prediction technique has different features of residual signal acquired by spatial or temporal prediction technique. In this paper, we propose an efficient entropy coding method which codes the residual signal obtained by inter-layer prediction with regarding its features adequately. We re-designed the Coded Block Pattern(CBP) table suitably for inter-layer texture prediction. The experiments show that the proposed method can further reduce the BD-Bitrate up to average 2.20% in 4CIF and 1.14% in CIF resolution compared to the existing JSVM 9.18.

Multi-view video plus depth (MVD) is a mainstream format of 3D scene representation in free viewpoint video systems. The advanced 3D extension of the high efficiency video coding (3D-HEVC) standard introduces new prediction tools to improve the coding performance of depth video. However, the depth video in 3D-HEVC is time consuming. To reduce the complexity of the depth video inter coding, we propose a fast coding unit (CU) size and mode decision algorithm. First, an off-line trained Bayesian model is built which the feature vector contains the depth levels of the corresponding spatial, temporal, and inter-component (texture-depth) neighboring largest CUs (LCUs). Then, the model is used to predict the depth level of the current LCU, and terminate the CU recursive splitting process. Finally, the CU mode search process is early terminated by making use of the mode correlation of spatial, inter-component (texture-depth), and inter-view neighboring CUs. Compared to the 3D-HEVC reference software HTM-10.0, the proposed algorithm reduces the encoding time of depth video and the total encoding time by 65.03% and 41.04% on average, respectively, with negligible quality degradation of the synthesized virtual view.

Purpose: Reconstruction of full - thickness defects of the nasal ala has always been a challenge. Local flaps can be used easily, and good result can be achieved when it is indicated. But local flaps often result in facial scars and bulky ala that require secondary revisions. Composite auricular chondrocutaneous graft may matches nasal alae well in terms of contour, color and texture, however, the size of composite graft is limited. We performed free vascularized helical root flaps for reconstruction of nasal ala. Methods: Bilateral ala were excised and the defects were reconstructed with a chondrocutaneous free helical root flap. Each side of ala was reconstructed in 3 months interval. Superficial temporal vessels of vascularized helical root flap were anastomosed to facial vessels. Great saphenous vein was used for interpositional vascular graft. Results: Flaps were survived successfully. The contour, texture and color match were satisfactory. Functional problem of nasal obstruction caused by scar stenosis of nostrils was also resolved. Conclusion: The free vascularized helical root flap is a reliable method in reconstruction of nasal alar defects. The donor deformity was minimal.

A HEVC-compatible 3D video coding method (3D-HEVC) has been recently developed as an extension of the high efficiency video coding (HEVC) standard. In order to efficiently deal with the multi-view video plus depth (MVD) format, 3D-HEVC exploits an inter-component prediction which allows the prediction between texture and depth map images in addition to a temporal prediction used in the conventional single layer video coding such as H.264/AVC and HEVC. The performance of the inter-component prediction is normally affected by the accuracy of the disparity vector, and thus it is important to have an accurate disparity vector used for the inter-component prediction. This paper, therefore, introduces a disparity derivation method and inter-component algorithms using the disparity vector for the efficient 3D video coding. Simulation results show that the 3D-HEVC provides higher coding performance compared with the simulcast approach using HEVC and the simple multi-view extension (MH-HEVC).
