According to living environment, the number of deaths due to thyroid diseases increased. In this paper, we proposed an algorithm for recognizing a thyroid detection using texture analysis based on shape, gray level co-occurrence matrix and gray level run length matrix. First of all, we segmented the region of interest (ROI) using active contour model algorithm. Then, we applied a total of 18 features (5 first order descriptors, 10 Gray level co-occurrence matrix features(GLCM), 2 Gray level run length matrix features and shape feature) to each thyroid region of interest. The extracted features are used as statistical analysis. Our results show that first order statistics (Skewness, Entropy, Energy, Smoothness), GLCM (Correlation, Contrast, Energy, Entropy, Difference variance, Difference Entropy, Homogeneity, Maximum Probability, Sum average, Sum entropy), GLRLM features and shape feature helped to distinguish thyroid benign and malignant. This algorithm will be helpful to diagnose of thyroid nodule on ultrasound images.

Digital image capturing technology has been making great progress recently, and we can now simply capture the color image by digital camera, flat-bed scanner of Photo CD system. A lot of professionals are instrested in the capability of Photo CD and other digital images in the printing and publishing industry. But these images were not processed a suitable image processing to use in the hard copy. In this paper we described a method of the digital enhancement processiing to use in the printing and publishing industry. Experimental result show that the described method was useful and valid for the digital image enhancement to use in the hard copy.

Over the past 30 years, many efficient 2D video coding techniques have been presented and developed from many research centers for commercialization. However, direct application of these monocular compression schemes is not optimal for stereo video coding. In this paper, we present a new technique for coding stereo video sequences based on Discrete Wavelet Transform (DWT). The proposed technique exploits Zerotree Entropy Coding (ZTE) that makes use of the wavelet block concept to achieve low bit rate stereo video coding. The one of two image streams, called main stream, is independently coded by modified MPEG-4 encoder and the other stream, called auxiliary stream, is coded by predicting from its corresponding image, its previous image or its follow image.

본 논문에서는 메모리 공정이 필요 없고 내장 프로세서를 사용하지 않는 H.264/AVC 엔트로피 복호기를 제안한다. 기존에 발표된 H.264/AVC 엔트로피 복호기의 경우 상당수의 연구가 내부의 ROM 또는 RAM이 필요하기 때문에 일반적인 디지털 로직 공정에서 구현이 어렵다. 또한 상당수의 연구가 비트열 처리를 위하여 내장 프로세서를 사용하기 때문에 면적이 크고 전력소모가 많은 단점을 가지고 있다. 본 논문에서는 내장 프로세서를 사용하지 않는 H.264/AVC Hardwired 엔트로피 복호기를 제안함으로써 데이터 처리 속도를 증가시키고 전력 소모를 줄인다. 또한 CAVLC 복호기에서 복호 시에 이용되는 룩업 테이블 및 저장 공간을 최적화하고 내장 메모리를 사용하지 않는 구조를 제안함으로써, 기존 연구에 비해 하드웨어 크기를 줄이고 ROM 또는 RAM이 지원되지 않는 디지털 로직 제조 공정에서도 쉽게 구현이 가능하다. 설계된 엔트로피 복호기는 H.264/AVC 비디오 복호기의 일부로 내장되어 전체 시스템에서 동작하는 것을 검증하였다. TSMC 90nm 공정으로 합성한 결과 최대동작주파수는 125MHz이며, QCIF, CIF, QVGA 영상을 지원할 뿐만 아니라 nC 레지스터 등 약간의 수정을 통해서 VGA 영상도 지원이 가능하다.

In this paper an algorithm, based on extracting a certain target of an image, is proposed that is capable of performing bilevel thresholding of image with multimodal distribution. Each pixel in the image has a membership value which is used to denote the characteristic relationship between the pixel and its belonging region (i.e. the object or background). Using the membership values of image set, a new measurement, which simultaneously measures the measure of fuzziness and the conditional entropy of the image, is calculated. Then, thresholds are found by optimally minimizing calculated measurement. In addition, a fuzzy range is defined to improve the threshold values. The experimental results demonstrate that the proposed approach can select the thresholds automatically and effectively extract the meaningful target from the input image. The resulting image can preserve the object region we target very well.

Aiming at the defect detection quality of denim fabric, this paper designs an improved algorithm based on the optimized Gabor filter. Firstly, we propose an improved defect detection algorithm of jean fabric based on the maximum two-dimensional image entropy and the loss evaluation function. Secondly, 24 Gabor filter banks with 4 scales and 6 directions are created and the optimal filter is selected from the filter banks by the one-dimensional image entropy algorithm and the two-dimensional image entropy algorithm respectively. Thirdly, these two optimized Gabor filters are compared to realize the common defect detection of denim fabric, such as normal texture, miss of weft, hole and oil stain. The results show that the improved algorithm has better detection effect on common defects of denim fabrics and the average detection rate is more than 91.25%.

Due to the block-based discrete cosine transform (BDCT), JPEG compressed images usually exhibit blocking artifacts. When the bit rates are very low, blocking artifacts will seriously affect the image's visual quality. A bilateral filter has the features for edge-preserving when it smooths images, so we propose an adaptive-weighted bilateral filter based on the features. In this paper, an image-deblocking scheme using this kind of adaptive-weighted bilateral filter is proposed to remove and reduce blocking artifacts. Two parameters of the proposed adaptive-weighted bilateral filter are adaptive-weighted so that it can avoid over-blurring unsmooth regions while eliminating blocking artifacts in smooth regions. This is achieved in two aspects: by using local entropy to control the level of filtering of each single pixel point within the image, and by using an improved blind image quality assessment (BIQA) to control the strength of filtering different images whose blocking artifacts are different. It is proved by our experimental results that our proposed image-deblocking scheme provides good performance on eliminating blocking artifacts and can avoid the over-blurring of unsmooth regions.

Aiming at infrared thermal images with different buried depth defects, we study a variety of image segmentation algorithms based on the threshold to develop global search ability and the ability to find the defect area accurately. Firstly, the iterative thresholding method, the maximum entropy method, the minimum error method, the Ostu method and the minimum skewness method are applied to image segmentation of the same infrared thermal image. The study shows that the maximum entropy method and the minimum error method have strong global search capability and can simultaneously extract defects at different depths. However none of these five methods can accurately calculate the defect area at different depths. In order to solve this problem, we put forward a strategy of "divide and conquer". The infrared thermal image is divided into several local thermal maps, with each map containing only one defect, and the defect area is calculated after local image processing of the different buried defects one by one. The results show that, under the "divide and conquer" strategy, the iterative threshold method and the Ostu method have the advantage of high precision and can accurately extract the area of different defects at different depths, with an error of less than 5%.

77 GHz frequency modulation continuous wave radar를 이용한 W-band synthetic aperture radar (SAR) system에 대한 연구가 활발히 진행되고 있다. 고해상도의 W-band SAR 영상을 복원하기 위해서는 스테레오 카메라 또는 라이다(LiDAR)에서 획득한 point cloud를 6 degrees of freedom (DOF)의 방향에서 변환하여 SAR 영상 신호처리에 적용하는 것이 필요하다. 하지만 서로 다른 센서로부터 획득한 영상의 기하구조가 달라 정합하는데 어려움을 가진다. 본 연구에서 SAR 영상의 엔트로피(entropy)에 따른 경사 하강법을 이용하여 point cloud의 6 DOF를 구하고 최적의 depth map을 추출하는 기법을 제시한다. 구축한 W-band SAR system으로 주요 도로 환경 객체인 나무를 복원하는 실험을 수행하였다. 엔트로피에 따른 경사 하강법을 이용하여 복원한 SAR 영상이 기존의 레이더 좌표에서 복원한 SAR 영상보다 mean square error는 53.2828 감소했고, structural similarity index는 0.5529 증가한 것을 보였다.
