Wavelet transformation in image compression is to offer higher image compressibility and high-quality by quantization and entropy encoding. More image quality is good that reconstructed image by wavelet calculation than acquire cosine transform. Therefore, wavelet itself is function if it is wavelet's feature, in this function, do processing applying difference scale and resolution. That is, this is not that fixed resolution has been decided like existent compression way, when it regulated scale, damage goes in pixel and picture looks like break without giving damage entirely in reflex even if magnify or curtail Decoding. Therefore, this paper is in Image that using new wavelet application compression way research that see applies comparing In each image noted this time compressing step by step with circle image compression efficiency recognize. Also, estimated quality pass through by printing of compressed image, investigated compression ratio of most suitable that get print of high quality and elevation of transmission speed.

최근 소비자의 화질에 대한 높은 관심으로 관련 시장 경쟁력이 가열되었으며, 이에 따라 제조사는 고객만족을 위한 제품을 개발하는 방향으로 진보하고 있다. 그러나 제품의 객관적 성능 향상이 실제 소비자가 인지하는 화질의 선호도에 항상 긍정적인 영향을 미친다고 단정하기 어렵다. 또한 선행연구를 통해 객관적 성능 평가 방법과 주관적 화질 평가 결과 간의 상관관계를 찾기 어려웠다. 그러므로 객관적 화질 재현 성능이 이미지 선호도에 미치는 영향을 파악하여 감상자가 선호하는 화질에 대해 분석할 필요가 있다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 객관적 화질 평가 요소들을 측정하고 이러한 수치들이 이미지 선호도와 어떠한 관계를 갖고 있는지 분석하고자 하였다. 이와 같은 연구를 위해 ISO에서 규정하고 있는 화질 평가 방법을 사용하여 이미지의 선호도를 측정하였으며 이러한 결과가 객관적 화질 평가 요소들과 어떠한 상관관계를 갖고 있는지 통계적으로 분석하였다. 이와 같은 결과는 화질을 향상시키는 요소를 분석할 수 있으며 단순한 고화질 추구를 위한 성능 개발뿐만 아니라 감상자가 선호하는 화질을 파악하여 개발에 도움이 될 수 있는 실질적인 연구로 기대된다.

In this paper, we propose a high-quality image acquisition algorithm using only a single image, which the high-quality image is normally referred as HDR ones. In order to acquire the HDR image, conventional methods need many images having different exposure values at the same scene and should delicately adjust the color values for a bit-expansion or an exposure fusion. Thus, they require considerable calculations and complex structures. Therefore, the proposed algorithm suggests a completely new approach using one image for the high-quality image acquisition by applying statistical difference and histogram manipulation, or histogram specification, techniques. The techniques could control the pixel's statistical distribution of the input image into the desired one through the local and the global modifications, respectively. As the result, the quality of the proposed algorithm is better than those of conventional methods implemented in commercial image editing softwares.

The quality of high performance concrete largely depends on water cement ratio, porosity, material composition and mix methods. The uniformity of color, texture and compressive strengths are quality indicators commonly used to assess the overall characteristics of concrete mixes. The homogeneity and share of coarse aggregates play a key role in concrete quality and must be analyzed in a microscopic point of view. This research studies the quality of high performance concrete by taking drilled cores in both horizontal and vertical directions from a 1.0 $m^3$ specimen. The coarse aggregate, expressed in digitized $100{\times}116$ dpi resolution images are processed based on brightness in colors through commercial software converted into text files. With the image converting to text format, the share of coarse aggregate is quantified leading to a satisfactory assessment of homogeneity - a quality index of high performance concrete. The compressive strengths of concrete and the shares of coarse aggregate of the samples are also compared in this research study to illustrate its correlation in concrete quality. It is concluded that a higher homogeneity of aggregate exists in the vertical plane than that of the horizontal planes of the high performance concrete. In addition, the concrete specimen showing denser particle packing has relatively higher compressive strengths. The research methodology provides an easy-to-use, direct measurement of high performance concrete when conducting quality assessment in the construction site.

의료영상의 화질이 진단의 정확성에 중요한 요소이다. 그러므로 의료영상의 화질을 향상시킬 수 있는 방법들이 연구되어져 왔다. 그 중에서 주파수 도메인 필터가 영상의 화질을 향상시킬 수 있는 강력한 도구이다. 본 논문에서는 X선 의료영상에 기존의 고주파통과 필터에 최적값을 적용해서 에지영역을 개선하였고, 결과영상에 기존의 고주파 강조 필터에 최적값을 사용하여 에지영역 및 평탄영역의 대비를 향상시켰다. 마지막으로, 최소평균제곱오차필터를 사용해서 결과영상에 잡음을 최소화했다. 결과적으로, 제안된 방법이 기존 필터들에 비해서 영상의 대비와 에지부분들을 향상시켰으며, 더불어 잡음제거의 효과를 보였다.

Image compression-decompression methods have become increasingly crucial in modern times, facilitating the transfer of high-quality images while minimizing file size and internet traffic. Historically, early image compression relied on rudimentary codecs, aiming to compress and decompress data with minimal loss of image quality. Recently, a novel compression framework leveraging colorization techniques has emerged. These methods, originally developed for infusing grayscale images with color, have found application in image compression, leading to colorization-based coding. Within this framework, the encoder plays a crucial role in automatically extracting representative pixels-referred to as color seeds-and transmitting them to the decoder. The decoder, utilizing colorization methods, reconstructs color information for the remaining pixels based on the transmitted data. In this paper, we propose a novel approach to image compression, wherein we decompose the compression task into grayscale image compression and colorization tasks. Unlike conventional colorization-based coding, our method focuses on the colorization process rather than the extraction of color seeds. Moreover, we employ the Denoising Diffusion Null-Space Model (DDNM) for colorization, ensuring high-quality color restoration and contributing to superior compression rates. Experimental results demonstrate that our method achieves higher-quality decompressed images compared to standard JPEG and JPEG2000 compression schemes, particularly in high compression rate scenarios.

Maximum intensity projection (MIP) is a common visualization technique in medical imaging system. A typical method to improve the performance of MIP is empty space leaping, which skips unnecessary area. This research proposes a new method to improve the existing empty space leaping. In order to skip more regions, we introduce a variety of acceleration strategies that use some tolerance given by the user to take part in image quality loss. Each proposed method shows various image quality and speed, and this study compares them to select the best one. Experimental results show that it is most efficient to add a constant tolerance function when the image quality required by the user is low. Conversely, when the user required image quality is high, a function with a low tolerance of volume center is most effective. Applying the proposed method to general MIP visualization can generate a relatively high quality image in a short time.

The image quality of the color laser printer is highly related with the motion quality of actuators. However, the high precision system requires high production costs in general. The proposed design method in this paper improves image quality without increasing production costs. Using the synchronization method, time gap between exposure and transfer in organic photo conductive (OPC) drum and the period of driving gear revolution are synchronized. The proposed method is verified by computer simulations and experiment, and showed by printed images.

The NDT using ultrasonic is largely divided into A-Scan and C-Scan methods. Since A-Scan method is subject to subjective judgement by trained personnel, C-Scan method has been introduced, which presents the weld area in two dimensions by placing the transducers two dimensionally used in the A-Scan method. Therefore, it is necessary to develop equipment that can provide weld quality without the help of a welding expert and the presentation of effective C-Scan images. Thus, in this paper, the algorithms that express a low resolution 2-dimensional gray image formed by C-Scan method as a high-resolution color C-Scan image and automatically determine the weld quality from the generated C-Scan color image. The high resolution color C-Scan images proposed in this paper allow the exact shape of the weld point to be expressed, and an objective algorithm to use this image to automatically determine weld quality.

초해상화란 저화질의 이미지를 고화질의 이미지로 변환하는 과정이다. 본 연구에서는 ESPCN 을 이용하여 연구를 진행하였다. 초해상화 심층 신경망에서 각 노드를 거칠 때 가중치를 결정하는 활성화 함수에 따라 같은 입력 데이터를 받더라도 다른 품질의 이미지가 출력될 수 있다. 따라서 활성화 함수 ReLU, ELU, Swish를 적용시켜 같은 입력 이미지에 대한 출력 이미지의 품질을 비교하여 초해상화에 가장 적합한 활성화 함수를 찾는 것이 이 연구의 목적이다. 초해상화를 위한 Dataset은 BSDS500 Dataset을 사용하였으며, 전처리 과정에서 이미지를 정사각형으로 자른 뒤 저화질화 하였다. 저화질화된 이미지는 모델의 입력 이미지에 사용되었고, 원본 이미지는 이후 출력 이미지와 비교하여 평가하는데 사용되었다. 학습 결과 머신 러닝에 주로 쓰이는 ReLU보다는 그 단점이 개선된 ELU, swish가 훈련 시간은 오래 걸렸지만 좋은 성능을 보였다.
