In this paper, the principle of devices which can magnify images without distorting the images is described. When the device is put on a smart phones, viewers can see the magnified images. Magnified images can be few 100 times bigger than the original images. Therefore, viewers can see movie theater size images with the device put on a smart phone. Two different schemes are explained in the paper and one realization of the device is presented. The device can be used in many different application areas.

In this paper, an efficient interpolation scheme using gradient information between adjacent pixel values was proposed to estimate the value of interpolated pixel to have the locality which exists in real image and the characteristic of simple convex surface and simple concave surface which exist partially in the real image. PSNR(Peak Signal to Noise Ratio) was used to evaluate the performance of the proposed scheme. The PSNR values of the magnified images using the proposed scheme are greater than those of the magnified images using the previous interpolation schemes.

Purpose: To study computerized measurements of angular parameters on 100% and 150% resized digital radiography of hallux valgus deformity Materials and Methods: 30 digital radiography of standing foot anteroposterior view of hallux valgus patients were included. Two observers(A, B) independently measured hallux valgus angle (HVA), 1-2 intermetatarsal angle (IMA), and distal metatarsal articular angle (DMAA) in two times on both 100%-size and 150% magnified images respectively, using computerized measurement software tools. The results were interpreted with the statistical software program, Statistical Analysis System, version 9.2. Results: In repeated measurements of each observer, measurements on 150% magnified image showed no differences of all three parameters and with 100%-size image, there were differences of HVA (observer A) and 1-2 IMA (observer B) (p>0.05). When testing interobserver reliability, both observers showed differences in measurement of HVA and DMAA (p<0.05), but no differences in measurement of 1-2 IMA in both images. Within the 95% confidence interval, limits of error of measurements between two observers on HVA, IMA and DMAA were $2.7^{\circ}$ $1.4^{\circ}$ and $5.0^{\circ}$ respectively in 100%-size images, and $2.6^{\circ}$, $1.6^{\circ}$ and $4.7^{\circ}$ respectively in 150% magnified images. Conclusion: In computerized measurements for angular parameters of hallux valgus with digital radiography, 150% magnified images showed intraobserver reliability. Both 100% and 150% magnified images failed to show interobserver reliability. Measurement of 1-2 IMA in both 100% and 150% images showed less interobserver error.

This paper proposes a profilometry system for precise surface contouring of 3D objects using a direc- tionally magnified image of a laser light stripe. The resolution of this system can be improved several times comparad with that of conventional systems without loss of spatial resolution and depth of measurement. A pair of cylindrical lens(a convex lens and a concave lens) are used for a directionally magnified image of a laser light stripe maintaining the same focal plane. Also, image processing procedures for image reconstruc- tions are described.

This paper analyzes the problems that occurred in the magnification process for a fine input image and investigates a method to improve the problems. This paper applies a curve interpolation algorithm in CAD/CAM for the same test images with the existing image algorithm in order to improve the problems. As a result. the nearest neighbor interpolation. which is the most frequently applied algorithm for the existing image interpolation algorithm. shows that the identification of a magnified image is not possible. Therefore. this study examines an interpolation of gray-level data by applying a low-pass spatial filter and verifies that a bilinear interpolation presents a lack of property that accentuates the boundary of the image where the image is largely changed. The periodic B-spline interpolation algorithm used for curve interpolation in CAD/CAM can remove the blurring but shows a problem of obscuration, and the Ferguson's curve interpolation algorithm shows a more sharpened image than that of the periodic B-spline algorithm. For the future study, hereafter. this study will develop an interpolation algorithm that has an excel lent improvement for the boundary of the image and continuous and flexible property by using the NURBS. Ferguson's complex surface. and Bezier surface used in CAD/CAM engineering based on. the results of this study.

Jung and Yoo proposed the first image interpolation-based reversible data hiding algorithm. Although their algorithm achieved superior interpolation results, the embedding capacity was insufficient. Lee and Huang proposed an improved algorithm to enhance the embedding capacity and the interpolation results. However, these algorithms present limitations to magnify the original image to any resolution and pixels in the boundary region of the magnified image are poorly manipulated. Furthermore, the capacity and the image quality can be improved further. This study modifies the pixel mapping scheme and adopts a bilinear interpolation to solve boundary artifacts. The modified reference pixel determination and an optimal pixel adjustment process can effectively enhance the embedding capacity and the image quality. The experimental results show our proposed algorithm achieves a higher embedding capacity under acceptable visual distortions, and can be applied to a magnified image at any resolution. Our proposed technique is feasible in reversible data hiding.

We proposed the method to take 3D image having correct depths to the front and rear directions when the stereogram was displayed to an observer through an optical system. Since the magnified stereogram by lenses was not given correct depth to an observer despite having the same magnified disparity. Consequently, we achieved our goal by relations of compensated disparities to both directions with magnification of lenses, viewing distance and base distance of viewer in AFIS.

This paper presents an adaptive image interpolation method using a pixel-based neighbor embedding which is modified from the patch-based neighbor embedding of contemporary super resolution algorithms. Conventional interpolation methods for high resolution detect at least 16-directional edges in order to remove zig-zaging effects and selectively choose the interpolation strategy according to the direction and value of edge. Thus, they require much computation and high complexity. In order to develop a simple interpolation method preserving edge's directional shape, the proposed algorithm adopts the simplest Haar wavelet and suggests a new pixel-based embedding scheme. First, the low-quality image but high resolution, magnified into 1 octave above, is acquired using an adaptive 8-directional interpolation based on the high frequency coefficients of the wavelet transform. Thereafter, the pixel embedding process updates a high resolution pixel of the magnified image with the weighted sum of the best matched pixel value, which is searched at its low resolution image. As the results, the proposed scheme is simple and removes zig-zaging effects without any additional process.

In the study of magnification of image in the focal trough of panoramic radiography, (Yoshida company Panoura - Eight - s), a series of 63 x-ray films were taken with the 8-19 metal pins placed in the holes of the plastic plate, measured and evaluated by 4 observes. The author analyzed the vertical and horizontal magnification rate in the corrected focal trough. Results were as follows: 1. For vertial measurements, magnification rates were minimum 10% maximum 36% and the magnification for image of medial side was larger than that of image of lateral side from image layer. 2. For horizontal measurements, magnification rates were minimum-14% maximum 46% and images of medial side from focal trough were magnified and images of lateral side from focal trough were retrenched. 3. When moved 10㎜ downward occlusal layer, interspace was somewhat narrow between the pins and upper sides of pins were horizontally magnified but images of the end parts of pins showed tapered form. 4. When moved 10㎜ downward from the occlusal layer, opposite images showed overlapping.

The study was designed to transmit ECG(electrocardiogram) images from iPhone in order to check validity. Especially, web examined ECG transmissions from smart phones image viewer are good enough to secure clinical information and confirmed with visual. In result, it took 3 to 5 seconds for ECG viewer transmitting from a smart phone to display an image on mobile server to user's phone. For image valuation, we magnified the ECG image 100% or 200% at a resolution of $480{\times}320$ checking PQRST wave and found that it was both possible to see an accurate PQRST wave with all the trial data and to divide it into 1mm level of grid.
