건물이 밀집된 도심지역을 촬영한 두 시기 항공영상에 화소기반 변화탐지 기법인 영상대차(Image Differencing), 영상중첩 분석(Image Overlay)기법을 적용하여 넓은 대도심지역의 효율적인 변화탐지 가능성을 살펴보았다. 영상대차(Image Differencing) 기법은 알고리즘이 간단하고 정량적인 분석이 가능한 결과를 얻을 수 있다는 장점이 있으나 고층건물밀집지역을 보여주고 있는 고해상도 항공영상의 적용과정에서는 폐색영역, 그림자 등으로 인해 정확한 변화탐지 결과를 보여주지 못했다. 영상중첩 분석(Image Overlay)기법은 한 번에 두 개 또는 세 개의 영상을 비교 분석할 수 있다는 장점이 있으나 직관적인 분석만을 제공하고 정량적인 분석이 불가능하였다. 현재의 화소기반 영상변화탐지 기술수준으로는 고해상도 공간영상에 대한 신뢰도 높은 변화탐지 분석결과를 얻을 수 없다는 것을 확인하였다.

This study presents the application of aerial photographs and the Korea Multi-Purpose Satellite, KOMPSAT-1 Electro-Optical Camera(EOC) imagery in detecting change in an urban area that has been rapidly growing. For the study, we used multi-temporal images which were acquired by two different sensors. Image registration and resampling were rallied out before performing change detection in a common reference system with the same spatial resolution. for all of the images. Results from image differencing and image ratioing techniques show that panchromatic aerial photographs and KOMPSAT-1 EOC images collected by different sensors have potential to detect changes of urban features such as building, road and other man-made structure. And the optimal threshold values were suggested in applying image differencing and image ratioing techniques for change detection.

This paper proposes an adaptive background image generation method based on the frame difference for traffic monitoring. The performance of the conventional method is limited when there are more vehicles due to traffic Jam. To improve on this, we use frame differencing to separate vehicles from background in frame differencing, we adopt selective approach by using part of the image not considered as vehicle fer extraction of background. The proposed method generates background more efficiently than conventional methods even in the presence of heavy traffic.

High-voltage isolating switches play a paramount role in ensuring the safety of power supply systems. However, their exposure to outdoor environmental conditions may cause serious physical defects, which may result in great risk to power supply systems and society. Image processing-based methods have been used for anomaly detection. However, their accuracy is affected by numerous uncertainties due to manually extracted features, which makes the anomaly detection of isolating switches still challenging. In this paper, a vision-based anomaly detection method for isolating switches, which uses the rotational angle of the switch system for more accurate and direct anomaly detection with the help of deep learning (DL) and image processing methods (Single Shot Multibox Detector (SSD), improved frame differencing method, and Hough transform), is proposed. The SSD is a deep learning method for object classification and localization. In addition, an improved frame differencing method is introduced for better feature extraction and a hough transform method is adopted for rotational angle calculation. A number of experiments are conducted for anomaly detection of single and multiple switches using video frames. The results of the experiments demonstrate that the SSD outperforms the You-Only-Look-Once network. The effectiveness and robustness of the proposed method have been proven under various conditions, such as different illumination and camera locations using 96 videos from the experiments.

The extensive Snake River floodplain in Northwest United States has experienced major changes in water channels and vegetation types due to floodings. To detect the change of wetland cover-types for the period of 1985 and 1988, post-classification comparison and image differencing change detection techniques were evaluated using Landsat-5 TM digital data. Differenced infrared-band images indicated better accuracy indices than any visible-band images. A thresholding technique was applied to identify the change and no change categories from the transformed images produced by image differencing. The problems in using different accuracy indices, including the Kappa coefficient of agreement, overall accuracy, producer's accuracy, user's accuracy, and average accuracy(based on both the producer's and user's accuracy approaches) in determining an optimal threshold level, were examined.

Five land use change detection methods were applied to 1994 and 1997 Landsat Thematic Mapper (TM) images of Pook-Gu, Taegu city to determine the land-cover changes between the two dates. The two images were coregistred to UTM coordinates. A post-classification comparison method was the most commonly used quantitative method of change detection. A pre-classification comparison method was more effective method to change detection of land cover than a post-classification comparison method. Two indices were used to assess the accuracies of the studied methods. A image differencing method was found to be most accurate for detecting change verse no change among five land use change detection methods. The difference image of band 2 was found to be most accurate. The overall accuracy and Kappa index agreement of the difference image of band 2 were 0.810 and 0.447.

This study presents the application of multi-temporal and multi-scale panchromatic aerial photos for change detection in a small urban area. For aerial photos of the scale of 1:20,000 taken in 1987 and 1996 and the scale of 1:37,500 taken in 2000. Pre-processing that make the same conditions to all of the aerial photos was carried out through geometric correction, registration, contrasting, resamplimg, and mosaicking and then change detection were carried out respectively by image differencing and image ratio techniques. As a result, the change of urban features and landcover were able to be detected from panchromatic aerial photos that is single-band images and then the detected change results were compared between both techniques.

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.

This research was based on the study conducted by Khodaei et al. (2012), namely, the least-significant-bit (LSB) substitution combined with the pixel-value differencing (PVD) steganography, and presented an improved irreversible image steganography method. Such a method was developed through integrating the improved LSB substitution with the modulus function-based PVD steganography to increase steganographic capacity of the original technique while maintaining the quality of images. It partitions the cover image into non-overlapped blocks, each of which consists of 3 consecutive pixels. The 2nd pixel represents the base, in which secret data are embedded by using the 3-bit LSB substitution. Each of the other 2 pixels is paired with the base respectively for embedding secret data by using an improved modulus PVD method. The experiment results showed that the method can greatly increase steganographic capacity in comparison with other PVD-based techniques (by a maximum amount of 135%), on the premise that the quality of images is maintained. Last but not least, 2 security analyses, the pixel difference histogram (PDH) and the content-selective residual (CSR) steganalysis were performed. The results indicated that the method is capable of preventing the detection of the 2 common techniques.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate and seek the best suitable band and threshold boundary level on the change detection of image differencing method using Landsat TM data(20 May 1987 and 20 May 1993) in Pyeongtaeg City. The change detection images differencing method were evaluated by using normal reference data with an optimal threshold level{$mean{\pm}(SD{\times}T$ value). The normal reference data consisted of positive change{change dark into light in image pattern, that is, it changed arable land(paddy, upland, forest and so on) to artificial area(buildings, vinyl-house and roads, etc)} and negative change(change light into dark in image pattern, that is, it changed artificial area into arable land). As the result, the kappa coefficients of visible bands(D1, D2 and D3) were higher than those of infrared bands(D4, D5 and D7), and than D1 image with 1.0 thresholding and normal reference data was a improved result in the land-surface change detection such as kappa coefficient : 68.4%, overall accuracy : 89.2%, negative change : 6.6%, positive change : 10.6%.
