Wiener filtering method was applied to the dual energy imaging procedure in digital radiography(D.R.). A linear scanning photodiode arrays with 1024 elements(0.6mm H 1.3mm pixel size) were used to obtain chest images in 0.7 sec. For high energy image acquisition, X-ray tube was set at 140KVp, 100mA with a rare-earth phosphor screen. Low energy image was obtained with X-ray tube setting at 70KVp, 150mA. These measured dual energy images are represented in the vector matrix notation as a linear discrete model including the additive random noise. Then, the object images are restored in the minimum mean square error sense using Wiener filtering method in the transformed domain. These restored high and low energy images are used for computation of the basis image decomposition. Then the basis images are linearly combined to produce bone or tissue selective images. Using this process, we could improve the signal to noise ratio characteristics in the material selective images.

The detection and measurement of faint features in cometary image is generally troublesome due to the high value of the ratio of the brightness of the nucleus to the tail, the large size and low surface brightness of the coma and tail and the disturbing presence of field stars trails. The image processing is based on background removal by median filtering. Sample results are shown for the case study of comet 73P/Schwassmann-Wachmann 3.

Speckle noise reduction for ultrasound CT image using morphological adaptive median filtering based on edge preservation is presented in this paper. Speckle noise is multiplicative feature and causes ultrasound image to degrade widely from transducer. An input image is classified into edge region and homogeneous region in preprocessing. The speckle is reduced by morphological operation on the 2D gray scale by using convolution and correlation, and edges are preserved. The adaptive median is processed to reduce an impulse noise. As the result the proposed method enhances the image to about 20% in comparison with Winer filter by Edge Preservation Index and PSNR.

현재까지 유해한 컨텐츠(Contents)를 차단하기 위한 활발한 연구가 있었으나, 사람의 사운드(sound)와 이미지(image)를 통합한 필터링(filtering) 기법에 대한 연구는 활발히 이루어지지 않은 측면이 있다. 본 논문은 이미지(image) 데이터 중 피부색 분포 비율과 사운드(sound) 데이터 중 주파수 분석을 통한 심층적인 기법을 활용하여 현재까지 진행되고 있는 이미지 필터링(image filtering)방법에 대한 수행 결과보다 획기적으로 개선된 성능을 보이고자 한다. 즉, 사운드와 이미지의 특징 정보를 이용한 성인 컨텐츠(Adult Contents)분류 기법을 활용하는 것으로 성인 컨텐츠(Adult Contents)에서 두드러지는 특징을 보이는 사운드 패턴을 분석하여 현재까지 한정된 자원인 이미지만을 활용한 기법보다는 현저한 향상된 수행능력을 예측해 볼 수 있다.

In general, as a dynamic range of digital still camera is narrower than a real scene‘s, it is hard to represent the shadow region of scene. Thus, multi-scaled retinex algorithm is used to improve detail and local contrast of the shadow region in an image by dividing the image by its local average images through Gaussian filtering. However, if the chromatic distribution of the original image is not uniform and dominated by a certain chromaticity, the chromaticity of the local average image depends on the dominant chromaticity of original image, thereby the colors of the resulting image are shifted to a complement color to the dominant chromaticity. In this paper, a modified multi-scaled retinex method to reduce the influence of the dominant chromaticity is proposed. In multi-scaled retinex process, the local average images obtained by Gaussian filtering are divided by the average chromaticity values of the original image in order to reduce the influence of dominant chromaticity. Next, the chromaticity of illuminant is estimated in highlight region and the local average images are corrected by the estimated chromaticity of illuminant. In experiment, results show that the proposed method improved the local contrast and detail without color distortion.

본 연구에서는 웨이블릿 변환과 경계선 검출 필터를 이용하여 초음파영상의 다해상도 분해를 한 후 경계선 검출 필터링을 통해 초음파 영상의 화질을 개선하는 방안을 제안하였다. 제안된 방법에서는 잡음을 줄이고 에지를 강화하기 위해 웨이블릿 변환된 영상으로부터 얻어진 저해상도 영상에서 고해상도 영상으로 단계적으로 영역별 선택계수 조정과 방향성을 고려한 에지 필터링을 수행하였다. 이를 통해 반점영역의 픽셀은 웨이블릿 계수를 줄여 에지를 제외한 영역에서 선택적 저역통과 필터링 효과를 만들고, 에지에서는 접선 방향으로 평활화를 하여 연속성을 향상시키고, 법선 방향으로는 세선화를 하여 contrast를 높였다. 실험을 통해 단일해상도에서 비선형적 이방성의 확산모델을 이용한 필터링 방법과 웨이블릿 수축구조를 이용한 필터링 방법에 대해 비교하였다.

스테레오 매칭 알고리즘은 컴퓨터 비전과 사진촬영에 필수적인 알고리즘으로 정확도와 복잡도는 스테레오 매칭 알고리즘의 주요 문제점이었다. 그 중에서도 복잡도가 높은 문제점을 극복하기 위해 비용 볼륨 필터링을 기반한 스테레오 매칭 알고리즘에 대한 많은 연구가 이루어졌다. 지역 스테레오 매칭 기술인 유도 영상 필터링 기술은 O(N)의 복잡도를 가지고 있지만, 여전히 실시간 3D 비디오 서비스를 제공하기에는 계산량이 많은 편이다. 따라서 본 논문에서 고속 유도 영상 필터링에 기반한 스테레오 매칭 알고리즘을 제안한다. 고속 유도 필터링은 서브샘플 비율 $\small{s}$에 따라 복잡도 $O(N/\small{s}^2)$을 가지는 알고리즘이다. 제안하는 알고리즘은 효과적인 스테레오 알고리즘을 성능을 보여줌과 동시에 3D 서비스를 위한 빠른 실행 시간을 보여준다.

In this paper, the SEM image processing system based on PC is designed, and a new noise reduction filtering algorithm is proposed. The SEM image obtained in semiconductor processing line is sensitive to noise, the weighted-D filter can remove uniform and Gaussian noise effectively, but can not remove impulse noise properly, A new improved filtering algorithm is proposed to reduce mixed-noise. The performance of the proposed filter is quantitatively evaluated by use of the normalized mean square errors (NMSE). The experimental results show that the performance of the proposed filter is obtained between 0.96 and 2.5 times better than that of weighted-D filter in NMSE evaluation.

This paper proposes a method to improve the image quality by designing Unsharp Mask Filter (UMF) based on Retinex theory which controls the frequency pass characteristics adaptively. Conventional unsharp masking technique uses blurring image to emphasize sharpness of image. Unsharp Masking(UM) adjusts the original image and sigma to obtain a high frequency component to be emphasized by the difference between the blurred image and the high frequency component to the original image, thereby improving the contrast ratio of the image. In this paper, we design a Unsharp Mask Filter(UMF) that can process the contrast ratio improvement method of Unsharp Masking(UM) technique with one filtering. We adaptively process the contrast ratio improvement using Unsharp Mask Filter(UMF). We propose a method based on Retinex theory for adaptive processing. For adaptive filtering, we control the weights of Unsharp Mask Filter(UMF) based on the human visual system and output more effective results.
