Among the characteristics of image quality in AC PDP, the serious problem is the image sticking. It can be explained that the previous pattern still remains after the image is changed into different image. In this paper, in case that the length of sustain period and the continued time of still image is varied, the image sticking phenomenon is investigated as the Initial firing voltage at ramp up time during reset period.

Recently as new digital media like High Definition Television (HDTV) have been made popularization. However In case of image quality characteristics of AC PDP, the problem especially raised is 'image sticking' phenomenon, the phenomenon that the previously displayed pattern still remains after the image in realizing high picture quality. In this paper, Image sticking Phenomena observed in AC PDP are defined and classified, these effects are analyzed as luminance, color purity through chromaticity diagram and firing voltage state using light waveform.

In this paper, we propose a fast algorithm for fractal image coding to shorten long time to take on fractal image encoding. For its performance evaluation, the algorithm compares with other traditional fractal coding methods. In the traditional fractal image coding methods, an original image is contracted by a factor in order to make an image to be matched. Then, the whole area of the contracted image is searched in order to find contractive transformation point of the original image corresponding to the contacted image. It needs a lot of searching time on encoding and remains limitation in the improvement of compression ratio. However, the proposed algorithm not only considerably reduces encoding tin e by using scaling method and limited search area method but also improves compression ratio by using bit-plane. When comparing the proposed algorithm with Jacquin's method, the proposed algorithm provides much shorter encoding time and better compression ratio with a little degradation of the decoded image quality than Jacquin's method.

This paper proposes a novel reversible image authentication method that requires neither location map nor memorization of parameters. The proposed method detects image tampering and further localizes tampered regions. Though this method once distorts an image to hide data for tamper detection, it recovers the original image from the distorted image unless no tamper is applied to the image. The method extracts hidden data and recovers the original image without memorization of any location map that indicates hiding places and of any parameter used in the algorithm. This feature makes the proposed method practical. Simulation results show the effectiveness of the proposed method.

Fractal coding is image compression techniques using one of image characteristics self-transformability. In fractal image coding, the encoding process is to select the domain block similar to a range block. The reconstructed image quality of fractal image coding depends on similitude between a range block and the selected domain block. Domain block similar to a range blocks. In fact, the error of the reconstructed image adds up the generated error in encoding process and the generated error in decoding process. But current domain block estimating function considered only the encoding error. We propose a domain block estimating function to consider not only the encoding error but also the decoding error. By computer simulation, it was verified to obtain the high quality reconstructed image.

A method is proposed to generalize the image transformation from an image to another one according to a pair of example images. When an original image and its target image are given, the unknown image transformation from the original image to the target one in automatically approximated by a sequence of several known image transformation filters by the method. The target image is assumed to be generated manually by using a drawing software. In this method, the order of image transformation filers is regarded as the chromosome of a virtual living thing and is evolved according to Genetic Algorithm. This method can be applied to automatic construction of expert systems for image processing.

In landscape simulatin, it is necessary to express very realistic image generated by computer graphics. One solution is to use texture mapping; however, it needs a lot of work and time to obtain images for texture mapping since there are huge variety of images for buildings, roads, stations and so on, and the landscape image is diverse due to the weather and time. Especially, weathered images such as stain on walls, crack on roads and so forth, are needed to make the landscape image very realistic. These weathered images do not have to be strict so that it saves a lot of work and time for obtaining the images for texture mapping if we can generate a variety of weathered images automatically. Therefore, this paper describes how to generate a variety of weathered images automatically by changing the weathered shape of the original image.

Gait recognition has advantage of non-contact type recognition. But It has disadvantage of low recognition rate when the pedestrian silhouette is changed due to bag or coat. In this paper, we proposed new method using combination of gait energy image feature and thermal face image feature. First, we extracted a face image which has optimal focusing value using human body rate and Tenengrad algorithm. Second step, we extracted features from gait energy image and thermal face image using linear discriminant analysis. Third, calculate euclidean distance between train data and test data, and optimize weights using genetic algorithm. Finally, we compute classification using nearest neighbor classification algorithm. So the proposed method shows a better result than the conventional method.

In this paper, it proposes the technique to restore from a binary image in the color image. The color image is composed of three element images of red, green and blue. Therefore, the color image is first divided into a red, green, and blue element, and the Inverse Halftoning[2]$\sim$[4] is processed to each element images. Finally, each element images is collectively displayed. In that case, the Kalman filter was applied to the Inverse Halftoning for the restoration accuracy improvement of the image. As a result, it was possible to restore it in the color image as well as the time of a monochrome image. Moreover, the result that the restoration accuracy had improved even when which combining with the technique by using the Kalman filter for the Inverse Halftoning so far came out.

In this paper we propose a new method of Depth-Image-Based Rendering (DIBR) for Free-viewpoint TV (FTV). In the proposed method, virtual viewpoint images are rendered with 3D warping instead of estimating the view-dependent depth since depth estimation is usually costly and it is desirable to eliminate it from the rendering process. However, 3D warping causes some problems that do not occur in the method with view-dependent depth estimation; for example, the appearance of holes on the rendered image, and the occurrence of depth discontinuity on the surface of the object at virtual image plane. Depth discontinuity causes artifacts on the rendered image. In this paper, these problems are solved by reconstructing disparity information at virtual camera position from neighboring two real cameras. In the experiments, high quality arbitrary viewpoint images were obtained.
