This paper proposes two video quality assessment methods based on deep neural network. (i)The first method uses the IQF-CNN (convolution neural network based on image quality features) to build image quality assessment method. The LIVE image database is used to test this method, the experiment show that it is effective. Therefore, this method is extended to the video quality assessment. At first every image frame of video is predicted, next the relationship between different image frames are analyzed by the hysteresis function and different window function to improve the accuracy of video quality assessment. (ii)The second method proposes a video quality assessment method based on convolution neural network (CNN) and gated circular unit network (GRU). First, the spatial features of video frames are extracted using CNN network, next the temporal features of the video frame using GRU network. Finally the extracted temporal and spatial features are analyzed by full connection layer of CNN network to obtain the video quality assessment score. All the above proposed methods are verified on the video databases, and compared with other methods.

In this paper, we implement a content based image retrieval system for image searching by visual features from the image databases on WWW (world wide web). The image retrieval system finds the images that contain the most similar color regions after the system automatically extracts color features from the input image. We can select one of two query methods which use a full image of $4{\times}4$ 16 sketched color region. The image similarity is calculated on the histogram intersection distance and the histogram Euclidean distance. As the experimental results show that the two different query types provide the precision/recall 0.84/0.92 and 0.85/0.93 respectively, this retrieval system has been able to obtain high performance and validity.

Despite the rapid strides in content-based image retrieval, a notable disparity persists between the visual features of images and the semantic features discerned by humans. Hence, image retrieval based on the association of semantic similarities recognized by humans with visual similarities is a difficult task for most image-retrieval systems. Our study endeavors to bridge this gap by refining image semantics, aligning them more closely with human perception. Deep learning techniques are used to semantically classify images and retrieve those that are semantically similar to personalized images. Moreover, we introduce a keyword-based image retrieval, enabling automatic labeling of images in mobile environments. The proposed approach can improve the performance of a mobile device with limited resources and bandwidth by performing retrieval based on the visual features and keywords of the image on the mobile device.

Blur is an important type of image distortion. How to evaluate the quality of blurred image accurately and efficiently is a research hotspot in the field of image processing in recent years. Inspired by the multi-scale perceptual characteristics of the human visual system (HVS), this paper presents a no-reference image blur/sharpness assessment method based on multi-scale local features in the spatial domain. First, considering various content has different sensitivity to blur distortion, the image is divided into smooth, edge, and texture regions in blocks. Then, the Gaussian scale space of the image is constructed, and the categorized contrast features between the original image and the Gaussian scale space images are calculated to express the blur degree of different image contents. To simulate the impact of viewing distance on blur distortion, the distribution characteristics of local maximum gradient of multi-resolution images were also calculated in the spatial domain. Finally, the image blur assessment model is obtained by fusing all features and learning the mapping from features to quality scores by support vector regression (SVR). Performance of the proposed method is evaluated on four synthetically blurred databases and one real blurred database. The experimental results demonstrate that our method can produce quality scores more consistent with subjective evaluations than other methods, especially for real burred images.

현재 방송 및 인터넷분야에서는 멀티미디어 정보가 급격히 증가하고 있다. 본 논문에서는 멀티미디어 정보 중에서 정지영상 검색을 위해 사용자가 질의(query)를 원하는 물체영역을 선택한 후 유사물체를 영상 데이터베이스 내에서 검색할 수 있는 내용기반 영상검색 시스템을 구현하였다. 질의영상으로부터 우선 컬러특성을 추출하기 위해 제안한 방법으로 색상을 HSV 변환한 후 히스토그램을 구해 데이터베이스영상과 히스토그램 인터섹션을 통해 유사치를 구한다 또한 질의영상을 그레이영상으로도 변환시켜 웨블릿 변환한 후 밴디드 오토코릴로그램과 GLCM을 통해 공간적 그레이분포와 질감특성을 추출하여 유사치를 구한다. 그리고 2개의 유사치를 더하여 최종 유사도를 결정하는데 이때 각 유사치에 가중치를 적용하였다. 질의영상으로부터 컬러영상 특성뿐만 아니라 그레이영상 특성도 파악하여 단점을 보완하였고 실험결과에서도 소환성(recall) 및 정확성(precision)이 향상됨을 볼 수 있었다. 또한 가중치를 적용함으로써 검색효율이 개선되었다.

This paper presents a new technique for corner shape based object retrieval from a database. The proposed feature matrix consists of values obtained through a neighborhood operation of detected corners. This results in a significant small size feature matrix compared to the algorithms using color features and thus is computationally very efficient. The corners have been extracted by finding the intersections of the detected lines found using Hough transform. As the affine transformations preserve the co-linearity of points on a line and their intersection properties, the resulting corner features for image retrieval are robust to affine transformations. Furthermore, the corner features are invariant to noise. It is considered that the proposed algorithm will produce good results in combination with other algorithms in a way of incremental verification for similarity.

적조에 의한 양식업 및 수산업의 피해가 증가함에 따라서 적조에 대한 많은 연구가 이루어지고 있다. 그러나 자동으로 적조 이미지를 인식하는 국내의 연구는 미흡한 실정이다. 적조 생물은 이미지 객체를 일치 할 수 있는 기준 중심 특징이 없기 때문에 인식이 어렵다. 이 때문에 기존이 연구들은 단순히 몇 종류의 적조 생물만을 이미지 분류에 이용하고 있다. 본 논문은 비음수 행렬 분해의 의미 특징과 이미지 객체의 원형율을 이용한 새로운 적조 이미지 인식 방법을 제안한다.

For efficient massive image retrieval, an image retrieval requires that several important objectives are satisfied, namely: automated extraction of features, efficient indexing and effective retrieval. In this work, we present a technique for extracting the 4-dimension directional feature. By directional detail, we imply strong directional activity in the horizontal, vertical and diagonal direction present in region of the image texture. This directional information also present smoothness of region. The 4-dimension feature is only indexed in the 4-D space so that complex high-dimensional indexing can be avoided.

본 논문은 영상 분류 문제를 위한 support vector machines (SVMs)의 적용을 통한 분류의 성능을 다루고 있다. 본 연구에서는 영상 분류 문제에서 자연영상을 대상으로 색상, 질감, 형상 특징벡터를 추출하고, 각각의 특징벡터와 이들을 결합한 특징벡터를 사용하여 역전파 신경망과 SVM 기반의 방법을 적용하여 영상 분류의 정확성을 비교한다. 실험결과는 각각의 특징벡터중에는 색상 특징벡터값을 이용한 영상 분류가 그리고 각각의 특징벡터보다는 이들을 결합한 특징벡터를 이용한 영상 분류가 보다 우수함을 보여준다. 그리고 알고리즘간의 비교에서는 정확성과 일반화성능 측면에서 역전파 신경망보다 SVMs이 우수함을 보였다.

In this paper, we propose a new voice coding using only the features of the face image such as mouth height(H), width(W), rate(R=W/H), area(S), and ellipse's feature(P). It provides high security and is not affected by acoustic noise because we use only the features of face image for speech. In the proposed algorithm, the mean recognition rate for the vowels approximately rises between 70% and 96% after many tests.
