Since light field (LF) image has huge data volume, it requires high-performance compression technique for efficient transmission and storage of its data. Camera users may like to represent parts of image at different levels of focus at their choice anytime. To address this refocusing functionality, in this paper, we first render a focal stack consisting of multi-focus images, then compress it instead of original LF data. The proposed method has advantage of minimizing the amount of LF data to realize the targeted refocusing applications. Our experiment results show that the proposed method outperforms the state-of-the-art for LF image compression method.

In this paper, a particular application of digital photos, remote sensing, remote shooting air moving, high-resolution and high compression of medical images required by remote shooting of JPEG2000 standard applied in the field of hardware design, production was implemented. JPEG2000 standard for image compression using the software implementation of the processing speed is very slow compared to conventional JPEG disadvantages, and also the standard of JPEG2000 DWT (Discrete wavelet transform) to improve the level of compression for image data if processing speed is a phenomenon that has degraded. In order to solve these JPEG2000 compression / decompression groups were designed and applied. In this paper, the optimal JPEG2000 compression / reservoir hardware by changing the level for still image compression, faster computation speed and quality has shown improvement.

Although image compression is one of the essential technologies to transmit image data on a variety of surveillance and mobile healthcare applications, it causes unnecessary compression artifacts such as blocking and ringing artifacts by the lossy compression in the limited network bandwidth. Recently, image restoration methods using convolutional neural network (CNN) show the significant improvement of image quality from the compressed images. In this paper, we propose Image Denoising Convolutional Neural Networks (IDCNN) to reduce the compression artifacts for the purpose of improving the performance of object classification. In order to evaluate the classification accuracy, we used the ImageNet test dataset consisting of 50,000 natural images and measured the classification performance in terms of Top-1 and Top-5 accuracy. Experimental results show that the proposed IDCNN can improve Top-1 and Top-5 accuracy as high as 2.46% and 2.42%, respectively.

The ordinary stereo image of an object consists of data of left and right views. Therefore, the left and right image pairs have to be transmitted simultaneously in order to display 3-dimentional video at the remote site. However, due to the twice data in comparing with a monoscopic image of the same object, it needs to be compressed for fast transmission and resource saving. Hence, it needs an effective coding algorithm for compressing stereo image. It was found previously that compressing left and right frames independently will achieve the compression ratio lower than compressing by utilizing the spatial redundancy between both frames. Therefore, in this paper, we study the stereo image compression technique based on the multiresolution wavelet transform using varied disparity-block size for estimation and compensation. The size of disparity-block in the stereo pair subbands are scaling on a coarse-to-fine wavelet coefficients strategy. Finally, the reference left image and residual right image after disparity estimation and compensation are coded by using SPIHT coding. The considered method demonstrates good performance in both PSNR measures and visual quality for stereo image.

본 논문은 입력 영상 데이터를 블록 적응적으로 Context Tree Weighting을 사용하여 산술 부호 기반의 무손실 영상 압축 방법을 제안한다. CTW 기법은 입력 데이터를 비트 단위로 예측 및 압축을 하는 특성을 가진다. 또한, CTW 기법은 미지의 모델 및 파라미터에 대해서도 효율적인 압축을 한다는 점에서 장점을 보여준다. 본 연구에서는 무손실 압축이 필요한 항공 및 위성 사진을 옵션 정보에 따라 분할한 다음 각각 CTW 기반의 산술 부호기를 적용하여 압축의 효율을 증대하고자 한다. 항공 및 위성 사진은 영상 내 정보의 가치가 높으므로 무손실 압축이 불가피하다. 또한, 영상 크기가 일반적인 영상에 비해 크기 때문에 고압축 역시 필요하다. 기존의 무손실 압축 기법으로는 대용량의 중요 영상을 압축하는 데에 어려움이 존재한다. 이러한 이유로, 본 논문에서는 분할하지 않은 영상을 압축할 때 보다 제안하는 방법을 통해 영상을 압축했을 때 더 높은 압축률을 보여주기 위한 실험을 제공한다. 실험을 통해 기존의 무손실 압축 기법을 사용하여 압축을 진행했을 때 보다 CTW 기법을 이용하여 분할한 영상을 압축했을 때의 압축률이 더 높음을 확인할 수 있다.

For the effective management of medical images, it becomes popular to use computing machines in medical practice, namely PACS. However, the amount of image data is so large that there is a lack of storage space. We usually use data compression techniques to save storage, but the process speed of machines is not fast enough to meet surgical requirement. So a special hardware system processing medical images faster is more important than ever. To meet the demand for high speed image processing, especially image compression and decompression, we designed and implemented the medical image CODEC (COder/DECoder) based on MISD (Multiple Instruction Single Data stream) architecture to adopt parallelism in it. Considering not being a standard scheme of medical image compression/decompression, the CODEC is designed programable and general. In this paper, we use JPEG (Joint Photographic Experts Group) algorithm to process images and evalutate the CODEC.

영상의 주파수 정보와 공간 정보를 동시에 제공하는 웨이브렛 변환(Wavelet transform)은 영상압축에 매우 효과적임이 밝혀졌고, 최근 들어 웨이브렛 변환 방법으로 다해상도 분해된 영상에 여러 가지 부호화 알고리즘을 적용하는 것에 대해 많은 연구가 진행되고 있다. 본 논문에서는, 웨이브렛 변환으로 다해상도 분해된 적외선 영상에 픽셀간의 상관도와 '0' 정보를 모아 효과적으로 압축할 수 있는 양자화 기법인 쿼드트리 기반 블록 양자화(Quadtree based block quantization)를 적용하여 영상을 압축하는 방법을 제안한파. 웨이브렛 변환된 계수는 스케일간 상잔도가 놀고, 집중도가 높기 때문에 쿼드트리를 적용할 경우 효과적으로 데이터량을 줄일 수 있다. 실험영상으로 256${\times}$256 크기의 8〔bit〕 적외선영상을 이용하고, DCT 압축기법과 제안한 기법을 비교 평가한다.

DVR 시스템은 비디오 데이터를 저장/재생해야 하기 때문에 대용량의 비디오 데이터를 압축하는 것이 매우 중요하다. 압축 방법으로 기존의 MPEG-4 압축을 사용하는 고성능 DVR 제품군은 국내외 적으로 다수가 있으나, 성능은 대부분 입력 영상에 비해서, 열화된 영상 크기인 CIF(D1/4)크기를 압축하는 DVR이 대다수이다 본 논문에서는 DSP를 이용하여 M-JPEG과 H.264 코덱을 구현하였다 M-JPEG은 다채널 모니터링을 위한 네트워크 전송용으로 사용하였으며, H.264는 Baseline Profile을 지원하여 기존의 MPEG-4 압축에 비해 $2{\sim}4$배 압축률 상승시켰다. 그 결과 가로 720픽셀, 세로 480픽셀의 고해상도를 지원할 수 있게 되었다.

In this paper, we have implemented the DVR system which is controlled far away, and added a function of TCP/IP Network for image data and control signal transmission, the DVR system has the advantage of easy to search and of no loss in stored quality. The continuously declining price of the hard drive presents the opportunity for the DVR system to displace the analog system. Also, with spread of the internet the needs of PC based the DVR system increase. Therefore, we have implemented DVR system within a function of network. When obtained image through the PTZ camera is transmitted to digital form, very large space of storage is required, hence image compression is essential. We use JPEG2000 for compression of image. JPEG2000 adopt DWT by means of transform. DWT concentrates important information of image on subband and has feature of multi-resolution. It is effective in order to express image. Thus JPEG2000 is suitable for image compression in DVR system. The significance of this paper is to design the DVR system which is controlled through TCP/IP network and to implement transmission of image compression using JPEG2000.
