디지털 비디오 카세트 레코더(DVCR)는 디지털 기록과 다양한 디지털 영상처리 기술과 같은 여러가지 측면에서 놀랄만한 성능에 힘입어 차세대 VCR로 대두되고 있다. 본 논문에서는 DVCR 시스템의 표준규격을 이해하고, 성능을 평가하고, 재생된 DVCR의 영상을 개선시키는 알고리듬을 제안하고자 한다. 보다 자세히 설명하자면, DVCR 영상을 개선하기 위하여 이산 코사인 변환, 양자화, 역 이산코사인 변환과 역양자화를 영상 시스템의 열화요인으로 모델링하고, 이러한 열화모델 때문에 발생하는 블럭 현상을 적응적으로 복원하는 고속 알고리듬을 제안한다.

This paper described the effect of subjective approach in case of the human sensibility experiments. The procedure is proceeded subjectively. Human faces are selected as the image presentation media. Pleasant and unpleasant images are selected directly by examiner, And also the image presentation system, which is executed with a computer and has the square-type black box monitor equipment, is manufactured. Images are presented with the step-variation time interval technique. questionnaire test and EEG signal detection data are analyzed. The analysis parameters are a “frequency band integral value” and a “band differential variation ratio”. he results show the high sensibility and fast response. The fact that image presenting repetition alleviates is verified.

A novel three degrees of freedom sensing method utilizing binary grid pattern image and vision camera is presented. The binary grid pattern image is designed by Pseudo-Random Binary Arrays and referenced to encode in-plane position of a moving stage of the contact-free planar actuator. First, the yaw motion of the stage is detected using fast image processing and then the other planar positions, x and y, are decoded with a sequence of images. This method can be applied to the system that needs feedback of in-plane position, with advantages of a good accuracy and high resolution comparable with the encoder, a relatively compact structure, no friction, and a low cost. In this paper, all the procedures of the above sensing mechanism are described in detail, including simulation and experiment results.

본 논문은 고해상도 위성영상의 압축성능을 분석한 것이다. 위성영상처리에 있어 위성 영상은 고 해상도이고, 많은 픽셀정보를 보유하고 있어 영상처리는 많은 시간이 소요된다. 따라서 보다 효율적인 작업을 위해 영상압축과 복원이 필요하다. 위성영상의 압축과 복원에 있어 도로, 건물, 숲 둥에 관한 정보를 유지하여야 한다. 본 연구에서는 고해상도와 분광반사특성 유지하면서 영상데이터를 효율적으로 압축 및 복원할 수 있는 기법들인 PEG와 웨이브렛 변환(wavelet transform)을 이용한 지도영상의 압축성능을 비교분석 하였다. 이 결과 JPEG보다 WSQ압축 알고리즘이 지도영상 압축에 효과적임을 알 수 있었다.

In this paper, a speed-up technique for the non-local means (NLM) image denoising method based on local binary descriptor (LBD) is proposed. In the NLM, most of the computation time is spent on searching for non-local similar patches in the search window. The local binary descriptor which represents the structure of patch as binary strings is employed to speed up the search process in the NLM. The descriptor allows for a fast and accurate preselection of non-local similar patches by bitwise operations. Using this approach, a tradeoff between time-saving and noise removal can be obtained. Simulations exhibit that despite being principally constructed for speed, the proposed algorithm outperforms in terms of denoising quality as well. Furthermore, a parallel implementation on GPU brings NLM-LBD to real-time image denoising.

The visual inspection method is widely used for corrosion damage analysis of steel plate due to the cost-efficient, fast and reasonably accurate results. However, visual inspection of corrosion deteriorated degree has a problem that the reliability of results differs depending on the inspector's individual knowledge and experience. In this study, we evaluated the degree of corrosion from a given image by using image segmentation method based on the grabcut and HSV(Hue, Saturation, Value) color image processing techniques for the development of an automatic inspection tool. The code written in Python based OpenCV-python libraries was used to categorize the images.

FFT (Fast Fourier Transform) has been widely used in various fields such as image processing, voice processing, physics, astronomy, applied mathematics and so forth. Much research has been conducted due to the importance of the FFT and recently new FFT algorithms using a GPU (Graphics Processing Unit) have been developed for the purpose of much faster processing. In this paper, the new optimal FFT algorithm using the Pease FFT algorithm has been proposed reflecting the hardware configuration of a GPGPU (General Purpose computing of GPU). According to the experiments, the proposed algorithm outperformed by between 3% to 43% compared to the CUFFT algorithm.

Conventional fire detection systems use physical sensors to detect fire. Chemical properties of particles in the air are acquired by sensors and are used by conventional fire detection systems to raise an alarm. However, this can also cause false alarms; for example, a person smoking in a room may trigger a typical fire alarm system. In order to manage false alarms of conventional fire detection systems, a computer vision-based fire detection algorithm is proposed in this paper. The proposed fire detection algorithm consists of two main parts: fire color modeling and motion detection. The algorithm can be used in parallel with conventional fire detection systems to reduce false alarms. It can also be deployed as a stand-alone system to detect fire by using video frames acquired through a video acquisition device. A novel fire color model is developed in CIE $L^*a^*b^*$ color space to identify fire pixels. The proposed fire color model is tested with ten diverse video sequences including different types of fire. The experimental results are quite encouraging in terms of correctly classifying fire pixels according to color information only. The overall fire detection system's performance is tested over a benchmark fire video database, and its performance is compared with the state-of-the-art fire detection method.

There are common features, in both imaging surveys and image processing, between astronomical observations and remote sensing. Handling large amounts of data, in an easy and fast way, has become a common issue. Implementing pipeline software can be a solution to the problem, one which allows the processing of various kinds of data automatically. As a case study, the development of pipeline software for the EIS (European Southern Observatory Imaging Survey) is introduced. The EIS team has been conducting a sky survey to provide candidate targets to the 250 VLTs (Very Large Telescopes) observations. The survey data have been processed in a sequence of five major data corrections and reductions, i.e. preprocessing, flat fielding, photometric and astrometric corrections, source extraction, and coaddition. The processed data are eventually distributed to the users. In order to provide automatic processing of the vast volume of observed data, pipeline software has been developed. Because of the complexity of objects and different characteristic of each process, it was necessary to analyze the whole works of the EIS survey program. The overall tasks of the EIS are identified, and the scheme of the EIS pipeline software is defined. The system structure and the processes are presented, and in-depth flow charts are analyzed. During the analyses, it was revealed that handling the data flow and managing the database are important for the data processing. These analyses may also be applied to many other fields which require image processing.

스테레오 정합(stereo matching) 기술은 주어진 두 영상에서 동일한 물체의 영상점이 어떤 위치 관계를 가지고 있는지를 결정하는 기술이다. 본 논문에서는 영상 특징점에 대해 스테레오 위치관계를 결정하는 새로운 스테레오 특징점 정합(stereo feature matching) 방법을 제시한다. 제안하는 방법은 주어진 스테레오 영상에서 FAST 추출기를 이용하여 특징점을 추출하고, 특징점 벡터들의 정보들을 내부에 포함하는 특징창(feature window)이라는 공간을 정의하여 스테레오 정합의 성능을 향상한다. 제안하는 방법은 표준 영상에 추출된 특징점들에 대해 특징창을 생성하고, 참조 영상에서 표준 영상의 특징창과 가장 유사한 특징창을 탐색 및 결정한 다음, 결정된 두 개의 특징창 내부의 특징점들의 시차관계는 특징링크(feature link)를 생성하여 시차를 결정한다. 만약, 이 과정에서 시차가 결정되지 않은 특징점들이 있다면, 특징창 내의 결정된 시차 정보를 이용하여 시차 값을 보간한다. 마지막으로, 제안하는 방법의 성능을 검증하기 위해 결과 영상과 정답 영상의 시차를 비교하여 정합 정확성과 수행시간을 비교하였다. 또한, 기존의 특징점 기반 스테레오 정합 방법들과 제안하는 방법의 성능을 비교 및 분석하였다.
