This paper presents a method to automatically synthesized human fare images from holistic descriptions. We compactly represent the face set by a small set of prototypes, which can be used in simple ways generated controlled morphings. This becomes possible because separation of 2D-shape and texture provides a faithful, closed and convex representation of images, and smooths the mapping between images and their properties. With this approach, the user watches an images being continuously morphed according to his indications, and the synthesized images always obey the natural physiognomic constraints.

컴퓨터에서 사용되는 2D 이미지는 크게 비트맵과 벡터의 두 가지 표현 방식이 존재한다. 일반적으로 사용되는 이미지와 텍스처는 대부분 비트맵을 기반으로 하고 있으며, 이에 따라 많은 텍스처 합성에 관한 연구 또한 비트맵 기반으로만 이루어져 왔다. 그러나 일부 분야들에서는 몇 가지 단점에도 불구하고 벡터 형식의 이미지를 선호하고 있으며, 비트맵이 가지지 못한 장점들과 현재의 충분한 컴퓨터 연산 능력을 고려해 볼 때 벡터 이미지의 필요성과 활용분야는 앞으로도 늘어날 것이라 생각된다. 이에 따라 본 논문에서는 벡터 형식으로 주어진 텍스처 패턴을 분석, 합성하는 새로운 방법을 제안한다. 입력 받는 벡터 이미지는 몇 가지의 속성을 지닌 스트로크(Stroke)들의 집합으로서, 각각의 스트로크는 비트맵에서의 픽셀과 같이 기본적인 분석과 합성의 단위가 된다.

Texture is extensively studied in a variety of image processing applications such as image segmentation and classification because it is an important property to perceive regions and surfaces. This paper focused on the analysis and synthesis of textured single and multiband images using Markov Random Field model considering the existent spatial correlation. Especially, for multiband images, the cross-channel correlation existing between bands as well as the spatial correlation within band should be considered in the model. Although a local interaction is assumed between the specified neighboring pixels in MRF models, during the maximization process, short-term correlations among neighboring pixels develop into long-term correlations. This result in exhibiting phase transition. In this research, the role of temperature to obtain the most probable state during the sampling procedure in discrete Markov Random Fields and the stopping rule were also studied.

In this paper. we generate a virtual right image corresponding to the input left image by using given RGB texture data and 8 bit gray scale depth data. We first transform the depth data to disparity data and then produce the virtual right image with this disparity. We also proposed a stereo image synthesis algorithm which is adaptable to a viewer's position and an real-time processing algorithm with a fast LUT(look up table) method. Finally, we could synthesize a total of eleven stereo images with different view points for SD quality of a texture image with 8 bit depth information in a real time.

This paper describes a technique for detecting the boundary of the optic disk in digital image of the retina using inward and outward curve evolution. This paper offers medical information about glaucoma progresses. For accurate boundary detection, image inpainting based on texture synthesis removes blood vessels crossing the optic disk. For removing noises and preserving boundary of optic disk in image inpainting process, the anisotropic diffusion filtering is necessary. After pre-processing, the optic disk boundary is determined using inward and outward curve evolution. The experimental results show that the algorithm is effective for detection of optic disk boundary.

오디오 텍스처 합성은 주어진 짧은 오디오 클립으로부터 임의의 길이를 갖는 새로운 오디오 클립을 생성하는 방법이다. 이는 애니메이션이나 영화에서 비디오와 정확한 동기화를 이루는 사운드 효과를, 혹은 임의의 길이를 갖는 배경 음악을 효율적으로 만들 수 있는 방법이다. 최근 Lie Lu는 주어진 예제 오디오 클립을 여러 조각으로 나눈 후, 이 조각들을 그래프 형태로 연결하고, 생성된 그래프를 탐색하면서 임의의 길이를 가지는 오디오 클립을 합성하는 방법을 제안하였다. 비교적 간단한 방법으로도 원본 오디오 클립과 비슷한 느낌의 오디오 클립을 만들어낸다는 장점이 있지만, 이는 원본 내의 여러 오디오 조각들이 단지 지속적으로 연결되는 형태로 합성되기 때문에 종종 반복되는 느낌을 받는다는 단점이 있다. 본 논문에서는 Lie Lu의 방법과는 달리 주어진 예제 오디오 클립을 직접 합성함으로써 반복성을 줄이면서도 원본과 비슷한 느낌을 갖는 결과 오디오 클립을 생성할 수 있는 방법을 제안한다. 특히 본 논문에서는 정확한 합성을 위하여 EM 최적화 방법을 사용한다. 본 논문에서 제안하는 합성 방법은 먼저 예제 오디오 클립을 일정 단위로 나누고 이렇게 나눠진 부분들을 일정 길이만큼 서로 겹쳐지게 합성하여 임의의 길이의 오디오 클립을 만든다. 그 후 만들어진 오디오 클립을 예제 오디오 클립과 부분 부분을 비교하여 확장된 오디오 클립과 최대한 비슷한 부분을 예제 오디오 클립에서 찾는다. 그 다음 찾아진 결과를 결과 오디오에 다시 합성하여 오디오 클립을 만든다. 이런 과정을 반복하여 최적화된 가장 적절한 결과값을 구한다. 이 결과는 분할된 부분들이 가장 자연스럽게 이어지는 결과가 된다. 본 논문에서는 최적화를 사용하여 오디오를 합성하기 때문에 합성 결과를 쉽게 조정할 수 있다는 장점이 있다. 최적화 문제에 특정 제약 조건을 넣음으로써 사용자가 원하는 부분의 음악이 결과 사운드의 특정 부분에 위치 할 수 있게 하고 이로써 특정 흐름을 만들어낼 수 있으며, 일부가 손실된 사운드 데이터의 복구를 가능하게 하는 등의 결과를 생성할 수 있다. EM 최적화를 사용한 오디오 텍스처 합성 방법은 기존의 합성 방법에 비해 질적인 측면에서 보다 좋은 결과를 생성할 수 있고, 비교적 반복이 덜한 패턴들을 만들어 낼 수 있다. 이를 입증하기 위해 이에 대한 사용자 설문 조사 결과가 제시된다.

Dynamic textures are videos that exhibit a stationary property with respect to time (i.e., they have patterns that repeat themselves over a large number of frames). These patterns can easily be tracked by a linear dynamic system. In this paper, a model that identifies the underlying linear dynamic system using wavelet coefficients, rather than a raw sequence, is proposed. Content based threshold filtering based on Set Partitioning in a Hierarchical Tree (SPIHT) helps to get another representation of the same frames that only have low frequency components. The main idea of this paper is to apply SPIHT based threshold filtering on different bands of wavelet transform so as to have more significant information in fewer parameters for singular value decomposition (SVD). In this case, more flexibility is given for the component selection, as SVD is independently applied to the different bands of frames of a dynamic texture. To minimize the time complexity, the proposed model is implemented on a graphics processing unit (GPU). Test results show that the proposed dynamic system, along with a discrete wavelet and SPIHT, achieve a highly compact model with better visual quality, than the available LDS, Fourier descriptor model, and higher-order SVD (HOSVD).

Since July of 2012, the 3D video extension of H.264/AVC has been under development to support the multi-view video plus depth format. In 3D video applications such as multi-view and free-view point applications, synthesized views are generated using coded texture video and coded depth video. Such synthesized views can be distorted by quantization noise and inaccuracy of 3D wrapping positions, thus it is important to improve their quality where possible. To achieve this, the relationship among the depth video, texture video, and synthesized view is investigated herein. Based on this investigation, an edge noise suppression filtering process to preserve the edges of the depth video and a method based on a total variation approach to maximum a posteriori probability estimates for reducing the quantization noise of the coded texture video. The experiment results show that the proposed methods improve the peak signal-to-noise ratio and visual quality of a synthesized view compared to a synthesized view without post processing methods.

Recently the depth-image-based rendering (DIBR) method is usually used in 3D image application filed. Virtual view image is created by using a known view with associated depth map to make a virtual view point which did not taken by the camera. But, disocclusion area occur because the virtual view point is created using a depth image based image 3D warping. To remove those kind of disocclusion region, many hole filling methods are proposed until now. Constant color region searching, horizontal interpolation, horizontal extrapolation, and variational inpainting techniques are proposed as a hole filling methods. But when using those hole filling method some problem occurred. The different types of annoying artifacts are appear in texture region hole filling procedure. In this paper to solve those problem, the multi-directional extrapolation method is newly proposed for efficiency of expanded hole filling performance. The proposed method is efficient when performing hole filling which complex texture background region. Consideration of directionality for hole filling method use the hole neighbor texture pixel value when estimate the hole pixel value. We can check the proposed hole filling method can more efficiently fill the hole region which generated by virtual view synthesis result.

Synthesis and liquid-crystallinites of thermotropic polyamides and copolyamides were investigated. Thermotropic polyamides and copolyamides containing a flexible spacer in the backbone were obtained by the two or three components melt polycondensations of 4,4'-dicarboxy-${\alpha}$${\omega}$-diphenoxy alkane as an A components, 4,4'-diacetoamido-3,3' dimethoxybiphenyl as a B, 1,4-diacetoamido-benzene (diacetylated p-phenylenediamine) was used as another amide-group-forming minomer. The content of the amide groups in the thermotropic polyamide and Copolyamide widely varied depending on the structure of the amide-group forming diacetoamido monomers. A polymer (9CLDI) showed a typical nematic texture between 218$^{circle}C$ ($T_m$) and 345$^{circle}C$($T_i$) The melting points of the members of this series of polymers increased with decreasing methylene spacer. The polymer structure and mesmorphic nature were examined by solid and solution ${^13}C$-NMR spectroscopy, cross polarizing microscopy with a hot stage.
