This paper introduces a new local feature extraction method and image matching method for the localization and classification of targets. Proposed method is based on the block-by-block projection associated with directional pattern of blocks. Each pattern has its own eigen-vertors called as CEBs(Classified Eigen-Blocks). Also proposed block-based image matching method is robust to translation and occlusion. Performance of proposed feature extraction and matching method is verified by the face localization and FLIR-vehicle-image classification test.

In this paper, we present an algorithm for synthesizing intermediate views from a stereoscopic pair of images. Syntheses of intermediate images allows one to realize a more comfortable the 3D display system. The proposed method is based on block matching, which is not ordinarily used. The contour information is used for a block decision. In order to find an equivalent (or corresponding) block, there are two steps: "matching of contour-to-original image" and "matching of contour-to-contour image" methods. "Matching of contour-to-contour image" uses both left and right contour images. This block matching method allows us to find the corresponding block in spite of different block sizes. Experimental results illustrate the performance of the proposed technique and we obtained a high quality image of more than 31 dB PSNR.image of more than 31 dB PSNR.

정합 블록의 모든 화소가 블록 정합에 동등하게 기여하지 않고, 정합 오차는 영상 복잡도의 영향을 크게 받는다. 이런 사실을 근거로 본 논문에서 영상의 복잡도에 의해 선택되는 일부 서브블록만을 이용한 고속 움직임 추정 알고리즘을 제한한다. 제안된 알고리즘은 정합 블록을 16개의 서브블록으로 나누고, 각 서브블록의 영상 복잡도를 계산하고, 일부 복잡한 서브블록만을 사용하여 부분 블록 정합을 수행하여 움직임 벡터를 검출한다. 시뮬레이션 결과는 제안된 알고리즘이 기존 탐색 알고리즘과 비교하여 무시할 수 있을 정도의 화질 저하를 야기하지만 상당한 계산량을 줄여주는 것을 보여준다.

An intermediate images generation method using multi-resolution based hierarchical block matching disparity map is proposed. This method is composed of a disparity estimation, an occlusion detection and intermediate image synthesis. For the disparity estimation, which is one of the important processes in intermediate image synthesis, we use the multi-resolution based hierarchical block matching algorithm to overcome the imperfect ness of block matching algorithm. The proposed method makes disparity maps more accurate and dense by multi-resolution based hierarchical block matching, and the estimated disparity maps are used to generate intermediate images of stereo images. Generated intermediate images show 0.1∼1.4 ㏈ higher PSNR than the images obtained by block matching algorithm.

This paper focuses on automatic image registration between EO (Electro-Optical) and IR (InfraRed) satellite images with different spectral properties using block-based approach and simple preprocessing technique to enhance the performance of feature matching. If unpreprocessed EO and IR images from Kompsat-3A satellite were applied to local feature matching algorithms(Scale Invariant Feature Transform, Speed-Up Robust Feature, etc.), image registration algorithm generally failed because of few detected feature points or mismatched pairs despite of many detected feature points. In this paper, we proposed a new image registration method which improved the performance of feature matching with block-based registration process on 9-divided image and pre-processing technique based on adaptive histogram equalization. The proposed method showed better performance than without our proposed technique on visual inspection and I-RMSE. This study can be used for automatic image registration between various images acquired from different sensors.

This paper proposes an image based method for arranging ship blocks in a dockyard. The problem of appropriately arranging numerous blocks has to be carefully planned because it has close relation to the effectiveness of the whole working process. To implement the system, the block shape and feature points have to be obtained from block image. The block arrangement system can be implemented by the fusion of the block shape extraction and image matching technology.

A new block matching algorithm that improved the existing block matching algorithm in terms of image quality is proposed in this paper. The subblock of image including the vertical edge of object is subdivided into new two subblocks, and the moving vector found. The result of computer simulation shows on real image that the image quality by the algorithm becomes higher than that of the three step search algorithm by 1.1dB.

본 논문은 블록 정합에 크게 기여하는 일부 서브블록들만 사용하는 서브블록 정합 알고리즘을 개선하기 위한 블록 정합 알고리즘을 제안한다. 하나의 서브블록 그룹을 사용하는 기존 알고리즘과 달리 제안된 알고리즘은 두개의 서브블록 그룹을 사용하고 있다. 소 그룹을 이용한 정합은 적은 계산량으로 유사 블록 가능성이 큰 후보 블록들을 선택하고, 선택된 블록에서 대 그룹을 이용해 추가적인 정합은 잘못된 정합을 줄인다. 모의 실험 결과들은 제안된 알고리즘이 기존 알고리즘과 비교하여 같은 계산량에서 항상 높은 화질을 갖는 것을 보이고 있고, 적은 서브블록들을 이용한 정합에서 매우 뛰어난 성능을 갖는 것을 보여주고 있다.

본 논문에서는 기존의 전영역 탐색 방식의 계산량을 현저히 줄임과 동시에 동일한 예측 화질을 얻기 위해, 기준 블록의 복잡도 순서와 정방형 서브블럭을 가지고 복잡한 영역 세분화를 통한 고속 블록 매칭(block matching) 알고리즘을 제안하였다. 매칭 에러가 기준 블록 기울기 크기에 비례한다는 것을 이용하여 종래의 순차적인 매칭 스캔(matching scan) 과 행/열 기반의 적응 매칭 스캔 대신, 복잡도에 기초한 정방형 서브 블록(sub-block) 적응 매칭 스캔을 가지고 불필요한 계산을 효율적으로 줄였다. 제안된 알고리즘은 예측 화질의 저하 없이 기존의 PDE(partial distortion elimination) 알고리즘을 이용한 전영역 탐색 방법에 비해 $30\%$의 계산량을 줄였으며, MPEG-2 및 MPEG-4 AVC를 이용하는 비디오 압축 응용분야에 유용하게 사용될 수 있을 것이다.

The block matching algorithm for the motion estimation is relatively simple to implement, and thus widely applied in image sequence coding such as H.261, MPEG- I and MPEG-2. Most techniques of the block matching method use fixed-size blocks for the motion estimation. And their success relies on the assumption that the motion within each block is uniform. But if the block size is increased to reduce the number of motion vectors for high data compression, the estimated image brings about many errors. In this paper, the variable-sized blocks are used to solve this problem. And the top down method is used to select the block size.
