본 논문에서는 엔트로피 부호화기를 통해 그레이레벨 이미지에서의 효율적인 압축 알고리즘을 제안한다. 제안하는 기법의 핵심은 원래의 그레이레벨 이미지 정보를 특정 순위 정보로 변환하는 것이다. 이를 위해 먼저, 그레이레벨 값을 가지는 정보를 부호화하기 전에 이웃하는 주변 픽셀(그레이레벨) 값들에 대해서 상호 발생 빈도수를 계산한다. 그런 후, 이미 계산된 상호 발생 빈도수에 따른 특정 순위를 각 그레이레벨 값에 적용한다. 마지막으로, 엔트로피 부호화기를 통해 순위 정보를 전송하여 압축을 수행한다. 제안하는 기법은, 영상의 통계적 발생 빈도에 따른 정보를 토대로, 그레이레벨 이미지를 순위 영상으로 변환함으로써 기존의 엔트로피 코딩 기법의 성능을 향상시킨다. 시뮬레이션 결과 8비트의 그레이레벨 이미지에 대해서 제안하는 기법이 기존의 엔트로피 부호화기에 비해 최대 37.85%까지 압축 성능을 더 향상시킴을 알 수 있었다.

A new Block Truncation Coding(BTC) technique reducing the bit-plane and using differential pulse code modulation (DPCM) is proposed and compared with the conventional BTC methods. A new technique decides whether the subblock can be approximated to be uniform or not. If the subblock can be approximated to be uniform(merge mode), we transmit only the gray-level informantion. It not (split mode), we transmity both the bit-plane and the gray-level information. DPCM method is proposed to the encoding of gray-level information when the subblock can be approximated to be uniform. Also modified quantization method is presented to the encoding of gray-level information when the subblock is not uniform. This technique shows the results of coding 256 level images at the average data rate of about 0.75 bits/pel.

In this paper, we have proposed the hardware architecture which implements the algorithm for retaining the connectivity which prevents disconnecting in the gray-scale image thinning To perform the image thinning in a real time which find a skeleton in image, it is necessary to examine the connectivity of the skeleton in a real time. The proposed architecture finds the connectivity number in the 4-clock period. The architecture is consists of three blocks, PS(Parallel to Serial) Converter and State Generator and Ridge Checker. The PS Converter changes the 3$\times$3 gray level image to four sets of image pixels. The State Generator examine the connectivity of the central pixel by searching the data from the PS Converter. the 3$\times$3 gray level image determines. The Ridge Checker determines whether the central pixel is on the skeleton or not The proposed architecture finds the connectivity of the central pixel in a 3$\times$3 gray level image in the 4-clocks. The total circuits are verified by the design tools and operate correctly.

This study was carried out to investigate the sheet formation properties of Morus Hanjis, made of bast and whole stalk pulps by different pulping methods, such as alkali, alkali-peroxide and sulfomethylated pulping. Two species of Morus, M. alba and M. lhou, were used. Effect of morphological properties of pulp stocks on the sheet formation and its gray levels based on optical property were evaluated using an Image analyzer. In addition, the effect of fiber distribution index(FDI) which was calculated from tile data of Confocal laser scanning microscopy(CLSM) on the sheet formation and optical properties of Morus Hanji were also discussed. On the sheet formation, Hanji from whole stalk pulp was superior than that of bast pulp. The more the sheet formation improved, the more paper opacity decreased. In the aspect of Hanji's surface characteristics analyzed by an Image analyzer, the average gray level and its standard deviation of Hanji from the whole stalk pulp were rather lower than those of bast pulp because of better sheet formation of the former. However, high brightness Hanji showed high value of gray level. The sheet formation and paper opacity were increased with the decrease of standard deviation of gray level. From these results, gray level measurement could be used to predict the paper opacity as well as sheet formation. Sheet formation of whole stalk Hanji and its FDI measured by CLSM were higher than those of bast fibers. In conclusion, the sheet formation and opacity of Hanji could be evaluated by standard deviation value of Hanji's gray level using an Image analyzer and by fiber distribution index using CLSM.

We propose a new technique for the optical encryption of gray-level optical images digitized into 8-bits binary data by ASCII encoding followed by QPSK modulation. We made an encrypted digital hologram with a security key by using 2-step phase-shifting digital holography, and the encrypted digital hologram is recorded on a CCD camera with 256 gray-level quantized intensities. With these encrypted digital holograms, the phase values are reconstructed by the same security key and are decrypted into the original gray-level optical image by demodulation and decoding. Simulation results show that the proposed method can be used for cryptosystems and security systems.

We presents an edge-based point correlation algorithm for fast and stable visual inspection system. Conventional algorithms based on NGC(normalized gray-level correlation) have to overcome some difficulties in applying automated inspection systems to real factory environment. First of all, NGC algorithms involve highly complex computation and thus require high performance hardware for realtime process. In addition, lighting condition in realistic factory environments is not stable and therefore intensity variation from uncontrolled lights gives many troubles for applying NGC directly as pattern matching algorithm. We propose an algorithm to solve these problems, using thinned and binarized edge data, which are obtained from the original image. A point correlation algorithm with the thinned edges is introduced with image pyramid technique to reduce the computational complexity. Matching edges instead of using original gray-level image pixels overcomes problems in NGC method and pyramid of edges also provides fast and stable processing. All proposed methods are proved by the experiments using real images.

We present an optical security method for binary data information by using 4-step phase-shifting digital holography and we analyze tolerance error for the decrypted data. 4-step phase-shifting digital holograms are acquired by moving the PZT mirror with equidistant phase steps of ${\pi}/2$ in the Mach-Zender type interferometer. The digital hologram in this method is a Fourier transform hologram and is quantized with 256 gray level. The decryption performance of the binary data information is analyzed. One of the most important errors is the quantization error in detecting the hologram intensity on CCD. The greater the number of quantization error pixels and the variation of gray level increase, the more the number of error bits increases for decryption. Computer experiments show the results for encryption and decryption with the proposed method and show the graph to analyze the tolerance of the quantization error in the system.

We propose a new 2-step phase-shifting digital holographic optical encryption technique and analyze tolerance error for this cipher system. 2-step phase-shifting digital holograms are acquired by moving the PZT mirror with phase step of 0 or ${\pi}$/2 in the reference beam path of the Mach-Zehnder type interferometer. Digital hologram with the encrypted information is Fourier transform hologram and is recorded on CCD camera with 256 gray-level quantized intensities. The decryption performance of binary bit data and image data is analyzed by considering error factors. One of the most important errors is quantization error in detecting the digital hologram intensity on CCD. The more the number of quantization error pixels and the variation of gray-level increase, the more the number of error bits increases for decryption. Computer experiments show the results to be carried out encryption and decryption with the proposed method and the graph to analyze the tolerance of the quantization error in the system.
