영상의 세세한 부분에 대한 표현 정확도를 나타내는 엔트로피와 전체 영상에 있어서의 밝기의 변화를 나타내는 평균밝기 오차의 절대값은 영상의 질을 측정하기 위하여 일반적으로 사용되어지는 두 종류의 양적 측도이다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 엔트로피와 평균밝기오차의 절대값에 기반하여 주어진 영상을 이진화하는 영상 임계화 기법을 제안하고, 9개의 시험 영상에 대한 실험과 기존의 오츠 방법 및 엔트로피 기반의 임계값 결정법과의 비교 및 검토를 통해 제안된 기법의 효용성을 보인다.

In this paper, a novel gray-scale lossless image coder combining context-based minimum mean squared error (MMSE) prediction and entropy coding is proposed. To obtain context of prediction, this paper first defines directional difference according to sharpness of edge and gradients of localities of image data. Classification of 4 directional differences forms“geometry context”model which characterizes two-dimensional general image behaviors such as directional edge region, smooth region or texture. Based on this context model, adaptive DPCM prediction coefficients are calculated in MMSE sense and the prediction is performed. The MMSE method on context-by-context basis is more in accord with minimum entropy condition, which is one of the major objectives of the predictive coding. In entropy coding stage, context modeling method also gives useful performance. To reduce the statistical redundancy of the residual image, many contexts are preset to take full advantage of conditional probability in entropy coding and merged into small number of context in efficient way for complexity reduction. The proposed lossless coding scheme slightly outperforms the CALIC, which is the state-of-the-art, in compression ratio.

The desire for a technology that can mechanically acquire 2D images starting with the manual method of drawing has been making possible a wide range of modern image-based technologies and applications over a period. Moreover, this trend of the utilization of image-related technology as well as image-based information is likely to continue. Naturally, as like other technology areas, the function that humans produce and utilize by using images needs to be automated by using computing-based technologies. Surprisingly, technology using images in the future will be able to discover knowledge that humans have never known before through the information-related process that enables new perception, far beyond the scope of use that human has used before. Regarding this trend, the manipulation and configuration of massively distributed image database system is strongly demanded. In this paper, we discuss image identifier production methods based on the utilization of the image hashing technique which especially puts emphasis over an entropy operator.

This paper introduces a new preprocessing scheme to replace original data of gray scale images with particular ordered data so that performance of lossless compression can be improved more efficiently. As a kind of preprocessing technique to maximize performance of entropy encoder, the proposed method converts the input image data into more compressible form. Before encoding a stream of the input image, the proposed preprocessor counts co-occurrence frequencies for neighboring pixel pairs. Then, it replaces each pair of adjacent gray values with particular ordered numbers based on the investigated co-occurrence frequencies. When compressing ordered image using entropy encoder, we can expect to raise compression rate more highly because of enhanced statistical feature of the input image. In this paper, we show that lossless compression rate increased by up to 37.85% when comparing results from compressing preprocessed and non-preprocessed image data using entropy encoder such as Huffman, Arithmetic encoder.

The growth of telemedicine-based wireless communication for images-magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and computed tomography (CT)-leads to the necessity of learning the concept of image compression. Over the years, the transform based and spatial based compression techniques have attracted many types of researches and achieve better results at the cost of high computational complexity. In order to overcome this, the optimization techniques are considered with the existing image compression techniques. However, it fails to preserve the original content of the diagnostic information and cause artifacts at high compression ratio. In this paper, the concept of histogram based multilevel thresholding (HMT) using entropy is appended with the optimization algorithm to compress the medical images effectively. However, the method becomes time consuming during the measurement of the randomness from the image pixel group and not suitable for medical applications. Hence, an attempt has been made in this paper to develop an HMT based image compression by utilizing the opposition based improved harmony search algorithm (OIHSA) as an optimization technique along with the entropy. Further, the enhancement of the significant information present in the medical images are improved by the proper selection of entropy and the number of thresholds chosen to reconstruct the compressed image.

In order to improve the edge segmentation effect of the level set image segmentation and avoid the influence of the initial contour on the level set method, a saliency level set image segmentation model based on local Renyi entropy is proposed. Firstly, the saliency map of the original image is extracted by using saliency detection algorithm. And the outline of the saliency map can be used to initialize the level set. Secondly, the local energy and edge energy of the image are obtained by using local Renyi entropy and Canny operator respectively. At the same time, new adaptive weight coefficient and boundary indication function are constructed. Finally, the local binary fitting energy model (LBF) as an external energy term is introduced. In this paper, the contrast experiments are implemented in different image database. The robustness of the proposed model for segmentation of images with intensity inhomogeneity and complicated edges is verified.

정보 엔트로피의 개념은 다양한 분야에서 폭넓게 응용되고 있다. 최근 영상처리 분야에서도 정보 엔트로피 개념을 응용한 기술들이 많이 개발되고 있다. 현대 산업에서 컴퓨터 비전 기술들의 중요성과 수요가 증가함에 따라, 영상처리 기술들이 현대 산업에 효율적으로 적용되기 위해서는 실시간 처리가 가능해야 한다. 영상의 엔트로피 값을 추출하는 것은 소프트웨어로는 계산량이 복잡해 실시간 처리가 어려우며 실시간 처리가 가능한 영상 엔트로피 필터의 하드웨어 구조는 제안된 적이 없다. 본 논문에서는 barrel shifter를 사용하여 실시간 처리가 가능한 히스토그램 기반 엔트로피 필터의 하드웨어 구조를 제안한다. 제안한 하드웨어는 Verilog HDL을 이용하여 설계하였고, Xilinx사의 xczu7ev-2ffvc1156을 Target device로 설정하여 FPGA 구현하였다. Xilinx Vivado 프로그램을 이용한 논리합성 결과 4K UHD의 고해상도 환경에서 최대 동작 주파수 750.751MHz를 가지며, 1초에 30장 이상의 영상을 처리하며 실시간 처리 기준을 만족함을 보인다.

In this paper, we propose a novel segmentation and classification method using texture features for the document image. First, we extract the local entropy and then segment the document image to separate the background and the foreground using the Otsu's method. Finally, we classify the segmented regions into each component using PCA(principle component analysis) algorithm based on the texture features that are extracted from the co-occurrence matrix for the entropy image. The entropy-based segmentation is robust to not only noise and the change of light, but also skew and rotation. Texture features are not restricted from any form of the document image and have a superior discrimination for each component. In addition, PCA algorithm used for the classifier can classify the components more robustly than neural network.
