This paper presents a method for real-time face detection and tracking which combined Adaboost and Camshift algorithm. Adaboost algorithm is a method which selects an important feature called weak classifier among many possible image features by tuning weight of each feature from learning candidates. Even though excellent performance extracting the object, computing time of the algorithm is very high with window size of multi-scale to search image region. So direct application of the method is not easy for real-time tasks such as multi-task OS, robot, and mobile environment. But CAMshift method is an improvement of Mean-shift algorithm for the video streaming environment and track the interesting object at high speed based on hue value of the target region. The detection efficiency of the method is not good for environment of dynamic illumination. We propose a combined method of Adaboost and CAMshift to improve the computing speed with good face detection performance. The method was proved for real image sequences including single and more faces.

본 논문에서는 MPEG-7 의 특징 기술자를 이용하고, 초기 중요도 가중치를 고려한 관심영역(ROI: Region-Of-Interest) 기반의 의료 영상 검색 시스템을 제안한다. 의료 영상에서 의미 없는 배경 부분을 제거하고, 영역 추출 처리 시간을 줄이는 관심 윈도우(AW: Attention Window)를 생성하여 관심 영역 세그먼테이션을 수행한다. 또한 인간 시각에 부합하는 검색 성능의 향상을 위해 특징 벡터 거리 계산에서 영역의 초기 가중치를 설정하였다. 실험에서 구현된 시스템은 의료 영상을 효과적으로 찾아내며, 조합된 특징과 가중치를 이용한 유사도 측정으로 검색 성능이 향상됨을 보여준다.

Block matching motion estimation is the most widely used method for motion compensated coding of image sequences. Based on a two dimensional systolic array, VLSI architecture and implementation of the full search block matching algorithm are described in this paper. The proposed architecture improves conventional array architecture by designing efficient processing elements that can control the data prodeuced by efficient search window division method. The advantages are that 1) it allows serial input to reduce pin counts for efficient composition of local memories but performs parallel processing. 2) It is flexible and can adjust to dimensional changes of search windows with simple control logic. 3) It has no idel time during the operation. 4) It can operate in real/time for low and main level in MPEG-2 standard. 5) It has modular and regular structure and thus is sutiable for VLSI implementation.

This paper presents the development of depth extraction algorithm for the stereoscopic endoscope data using a stereo matching method. generally, the purpose of existing stereo algorithms is to reconstruct stereo object surface and depth map. but the main purpose of our processing is to give exact depth feeling to doctor showing depth information in some points. for this purpose, this paper presents two stereo matching algorithms which are to measure exact depth. one is using variable window, and the other is reference points-based algorithm for a fast processing.

A new nonlinear filtering algorithm for effectively denoising images corrupted by the random-valued impulse noise, called dual sliding statistics switching median (DSSSM) filter is presented in this paper. The proposed DSSSM filter is made up of two subunits; i.e. Impulse noise detection and noise filtering. Initially, the impulse noise detection stage of DSSSM algorithm begins by processing the statistics of a localized detection window in sorted order and non-sorted order, simultaneously. Next, the median of absolute difference (MAD) obtained from both sorted statistics and non-sorted statistics will be further processed in order to classify any possible noise pixels. Subsequently, the filtering stage will replace the detected noise pixels with the estimated median value of the surrounding pixels. In addition, fuzzy based local information is used in the filtering stage to help the filter preserves the edges and details. Extensive simulations results conducted on gray scale images indicate that the DSSSM filter performs significantly better than a number of well-known impulse noise filters existing in literature in terms of noise suppression and detail preservation; with as much as 30% impulse noise corruption rate. Finally, this DSSSM filter is algorithmically simple and suitable to be implemented for electronic imaging products.

The stereo geometry establishment based on the precise sensor modeling is prerequisite for accurate stereo data processing. Ground control points are generally required for the accurate sensor modeling though it is not possible over the area where the accessibility is limited or reference data is not available. For the areas, the relative orientation should be carried out to improve the geometric consistency between the stereo data though it does not improve the absolute positional accuracy. The relative orientation requires conjugate points that are well distributed over the entire image region. Therefore the automatic conjugate point extraction is required because the manual operation is labor-intensive. In this study, we applied the method consisting of the key point extraction, the search space minimization based on the epipolar line, and the rigorous outlier detection based on the RPCs (Rational Polynomial Coefficients) bias compensation modeling. We tested different parameters of window sizes for Kompsat-2 across track stereo data and analyzed the RPCs precision after the bias compensation for the cases whether the epipolar line information is used or not. The experimental results showed that matching outliers were inevitable for the different matching parameterization but they were successfully detected and removed with the rigorous method for sub-pixel level of stereo RPCs precision.

본 논문에서는 정확한 얼굴 영역 검출을 위한 영상화질 향상에 대한 연구를 수행하였다. 일반적인 인식시스템에서는 입력되는 모든 영상에 고정된 영상처리 과정을 수행한다. 고정된 영상처리 필터를 사용하는 방법을 다양한 환경 조건에서 획득된 얼굴 영상에 적용하게 되면, 정확한 얼굴영역을 검출할 수 없게 될 것이다. 복잡한 배경과 조명이 포함된 영상으로부터 검출에 적합한 영상으로 구성하기 위하여, 본 논문에서는 부-윈도우를 기반으로 하는 카테고리에 따른 영상 향상 방법을 제안한다. 처리를 위한 영상이 획득되었을 때, 영상의 부-윈도우로부터 평균값을 계산하고, 이를 기 구성된 카테고리와 비교하여 입력영상에 적용 가능한 영상처리 방법을 선택적으로 적용하는 처리를 수행한다. 얼굴영역을 검출한 결과 히스토그램 평활화, 감마변환등의 방법을 전체영상에 적용한 결과와, 제안된 방법을 적용하여 추출한 영상들로부터 얼굴영상 등록을 통한 검출률을 비교한 결과, 현저히 향상된 등록 결과를 획득할 수 있었다.

In this paper, we studied on the hardware implementation of a 3${\times}$3 window weighted median filter using bit-level sorting algorithm. The weighted median filter is a generalization of the median filter that is able to preserve :,harp changes in signal and is very effective in removing impulse noise. It has been successfully applied in various areas such as digital signal and video/image processing. The weighted median filters are, for the most part, based on word-level sorting methods, which have more hardware and time complexity, However, the proposed bit-serial sorting algorithm uses weighted adder tree to overcome those disadvantages. It also offers a simple pipelined filter architecture that is highly regular with repeated modules and is very suitable for weighted median filtering. The algorithm was implemented by VHDL and graphical environment in MAX＋PlusII of ALTERA. The simulation results indicate that the proposed design method is more efficient than the traditional ones.

본 논문은 연속 영상에서 윤곽선과 특징을 이용하여 주위 환경 변화에 적응가능한 다중 물체 추적 방법을 제안한다. 적응 배경 모델을 사용하여 주위 환경 변화에 적응케 했으며, 물체 분할 모델은 배경 영상과 현재 영상의 차영상에서 국부 영상의 임계값 이상의 화소를 찾아 연결한 영역을 추출한다. 특징 추출과 물체인식모델은 탐색 창 내에서 발견된 다중 물체의 데이터 연상 문제를 해결하기 우해 사용되며, 실시간 추적을 위해 칼만 필터를 사용하였다. 제안된 방법을 도로 영상에 적용한 결과 다중 차량 추적이 정확히 이루어짐을 실험을 통해 보였다.
