The readability and the visuability are very significant when the letters or figures are displayed as static visual information. Not only is the beauty of the body type character(small letters) important but the display type character(large letters) should also be read easily, quickly and precisely. The issue regarding the readability in terms of perception of information has been raised continuously for all kinds of small signage and billboard, etc., which are written in display type within our everyday life. Among the various kinds of small signage and billboards the car licence plate is well known. Among all the possible factors that would have made an impact on the readability of licence plate, this paper focused on the effects of arrangement of character(letters and figures) and contrast of colors for the readability of licence plate using the within-subject analysis. The statistical analysis results in error reading rate, the character arrangement were significant but the color contrast(green/white, white/green, blue/white, white/blue, black/yellow) was not, No interaction was found.

Digital watermarking technology is one of method of protecting property from the illegal reproduction of digital data. This technology inserts the specific data in a certain file to identify the property, that is an author and rights, not for human to be seen and heard. In this paper, the watermarking technology which inserts a RGB rotor watermark in a JPEG2000 color image using the visual characteristics of wavelet coefficient was proposed. After applying various attack at a watermarked image according to proposed technology, the likeness between the original image, the watermark and the extracted watermark was measured and investigated. As a result, the PSNR value of image was varied depending on perceptual parameter, but we can obtain 32㏈ as a whole.

We present a novel approach for the simulation of color pencil effects using line integral convolution (LIC) to produce pencil drawings from images. Our key idea is to use a bilateral convolution filter to simulate the various effects of pencil strokes. Our filter resolves the drawbacks of the existing convolution-based schemes, and presents an intuitive control to mimic the properties of pencil strokes. We also present a scheme that determines stroke directions from the shapes to be drawn. Smooth tangent flows are used for the pixels close to feature lines, and partially parallel flows inside regions. The background is rendered using a flow of fixed direction. Using different styles of stroke directions increases the realism of the resulting images. This approach produces convincing pencil drawing effects from photographs.

Morphing method, one of classic image processing algorithms, has been used in various application fields. The motivation of this work is to investigate its applicability in consideration to geo-spatial data including airborne or space-borne images. For this purpose, the Beier and Neely morphing algorithm is tentatively implemented in the form of a prototype with user interface. As the results, this feature-based morphing with paired image sets can be used for general users: image simulation using two or more images and construction of color-blending image between source image and destination image in different types. Some simple application cases were demonstrated. This scheme is the simple and useful approach for those who want to utilize both geo-spatial data sets and airborne/space-borne image sets.

In this study, we introduce a new image gradient computation based on understanding of image generation. Most images consist of groups of pixels with similar color information because the images are generally obtained by taking a picture of the real world. The general gradient operator for an image compares only the neighboring pixels and cannot obtain information about a wide area, and there is a risk of falling into a local minimum problem. Therefore, it is necessary to attempt to introduce the gradient operator of the interval concept. We present a bow-tie gradient by color values of pixels on bow-tie region of a given pixel. To confirm the superiority of our study, we applied our bow-tie gradient to image segmentation algorithms for various images.

In this study, we propose a new Fire Flame Region Extraction using Block Homogeneity Segmentation method of the Fire Image with irregular texture and various colors. It is generally assumed that fire flame extraction plays a very important role. The Color Image with fire flame is divided into blocks and edge strength for each block is computed by using modified color histogram intersection method that has been developed to differentiate object boundaries from irregular texture boundaries effectively. The block homogeneity is designed to have the higher value in the center of region with the homeogenous colors or texture while to have lower value near region boundaries. The image represented by the block homogeneity is gray scale image and watershed transformation technique is used to generate closed boundary for each region. As the watershed transform generally results in over-segmentation, region merging based on common boundary strength is followed. The proposed method can be applied quickly and effectively to the initial response of fire.

디지털 워터마킹은 디지털 정보를 비합법적인 공격으로부터 저작권의 보호 방법중의 하나이다. 이기술은 어떤 파일에 관한 저작권 정보(즉, 저자 및 권리 등)를 식별할 수 있도록 특정의 데이터를 사람의 육안이나 청각으로 구별할 수 없게 삽입하는 기술이다. 본 논문은 JPEG2000 칼라 정지영상에 웨이블렛 변환을 이용한 RGB칼라 영상을 워터마크 시킬 수 있는 워터마킹 기술을 제안하였다. 제안된 기술에 따라 워터마크 된 이미지에 다양한 공격을 적용한 후에 워터마크된 이미지와 추출된 워터마크사이에서의 유사함을 측정하고 연구하였다. 결론적으로 이지미의 PSNR 값은 파라매터에 의해 결정되며, 본 논문은 전체적으로 32dB를 얻을 수 있었다.

본 논문에서는 수작업을 최소화하면서 조위 기록지로부터 조위 기록 그래프를 추출하는 방법을 제안한다. 사용자가 그래프 상의 하나의 픽셀을 선택하면, 선택된 픽셀과 나머지 픽셀들과의 LAB 색상 공간상에서의 관계를 이용해 자동으로 대부분의 배경 픽셀들을 결정한다. 배경 픽셀들이 결정되면, 각 세로줄에서 그래프 영역으로 판단되는 한개의 픽셀을 추출하고, 이 픽셀을 시작 위치로 하여 나머지 그래프 영역을 추출한다. 실험 결과는 다양한 종류의 조위 기록지로부터 최소한의 수작업만으로 조위 기록 그래프 영역을 검출할 수 있음을 보여준다.

Lane detection algorithms became a key factor of advance driver assistance system (ADAS), since the rapidly increasing of high-technology in vehicles. However, one common problem of these algorithms is their performance's instability under various illumination conditions. We recognize a feasible complementation between image processing and color science to address the problem of lane marks detection on the road with different lighting conditions. We proposed a novel lane detection algorithm using the attributes of a uniform color space such as $CIEL^*C^*h$ with the implementation of image processing techniques, that lead to positive results. We applied at the final stage Clustering to make more accurate our lane mark estimation. The experimental results show the effectiveness of our method with detection rate of 91.80%. Moreover, the algorithm performs satisfactory with changes in illumination due to our process with lightness ($L^*$) and the color's property on $CIEL^*C^*h$.
