The Stable diffsuion AI tool is popular among designers because of its flexible and powerful image generation capabilities. However, due to the diversity of its AI models, it needs to spend a lot of time testing different AI models in the face of different design plans, so choosing a suitable general AI model has become a big problem at present. In this paper, by comparing the AI images generated by two different Stable diffsuion models, the advantages and disadvantages of each model are analyzed from the aspects of the matching degree of the AI image and the prompt, the color composition and light composition of the image, and the general AI model that the generated AI image has an aesthetic sense is analyzed, and the designer does not need to take cumbersome steps. A satisfactory AI image can be obtained. The results show that Playground V2.5 model can be used as a general AI model, which has both aesthetic and design sense in various style design requirements. As a result, content designers can focus more on creative content development, and expect more groundbreaking technologies to merge generative AI with content design.

An artificial neural network model based on a deep learning algorithm is known to be more accurate than humans in image classification, but there is still a limit in the sense that there needs to be a lot of training data that can be called big data. Therefore, various techniques are being studied to build an artificial neural network model with high precision, even with small data. The transfer learning technique is assessed as an excellent alternative. As a result, the purpose of this study is to develop an artificial neural network system that can classify burr images of light guide plate products with 99% accuracy using transfer learning technique. Specifically, for the light guide plate product, 150 images of the normal product and the burr were taken at various angles, heights, positions, etc., respectively. Then, after the preprocessing of images such as thresholding and image augmentation, for a total of 3,300 images were generated. 2,970 images were separated for training, while the remaining 330 images were separated for model accuracy testing. For the transfer learning, a base model was developed using the NASNet-Large model that pre-trained 14 million ImageNet data. According to the final model accuracy test, the 99% accuracy in the image classification for training and test images was confirmed. Consequently, based on the results of this study, it is expected to help develop an integrated AI production management system by training not only the burr but also various defective images.

The injection is the input method of the image feature vector from the encoder to the decoder. Since the image feature vector contains object details such as color and texture, it is essential to generate image captions. However, the bidirectional decoder model using the existing injection method only inputs the image feature vector in the first step, so image feature vectors of the backward sequence are vanishing. This problem makes it difficult to describe the context in detail. Therefore, in this paper, we propose the parallel injection method to improve the description performance of image captions. The proposed Injection method fuses all embeddings and image vectors to preserve the context. Also, We optimize our image caption model with Bidirectional Gated Recurrent Unit (Bi-GRU) to reduce the amount of computation of the decoder. To validate the proposed model, experiments were conducted with a certified image caption dataset, demonstrating excellence in comparison with the latest models using BLEU and METEOR scores. The proposed model improved the BLEU score up to 20.2 points and the METEOR score up to 3.65 points compared to the existing caption model.

With the development of deep learning, it is possible to solve various computer non-specialized problems such as image processing. However, most image processing methods use only the visual information of the image to process the image. Text data such as descriptions and annotations related to images may provide additional tactile and visual information that is difficult to obtain from the image itself. In this paper, we intend to improve image classification accuracy through a deep learning model that analyzes images and texts using image-text pairs. The proposed model showed an approximately 11% classification accuracy improvement over the deep learning model using only image information.

In this paper, a hierarchical image tree model for weather classification is defined in a single outdoor image, and a weather classification algorithm using image intensity and k-mean segmentation image is proposed. In the first level of the hierarchical image tree model, the indoor and outdoor images are distinguished. Whether the outdoor image is daytime, night, or sunrise/sunset image is judged using the intensity and the k-means segmentation image at the second level. In the last level, if it is classified as daytime image at the second level, it is finally estimated whether it is sunny or foggy image based on edge map and fog rate. Some experiments are conducted so as to verify the weather classification, and as a result, the proposed method shows that weather features are effectively detected in a given image.

This paper presents a model-based image steganography method based on Watson's visual model. Model-based steganography assumes a model for cover image statistics. This approach, however, has some weaknesses, including perceptual detectability. We propose to use Watson's visual model to improve perceptual undetectability of model-based steganography. The proposed method prevents visually perceptible changes during embedding. First, the maximum acceptable change in each discrete cosine transform coefficient is extracted based on Watson's visual model. Then, a model is fitted to a low-precision histogram of such coefficients and the message bits are encoded to this model. Finally, the encoded message bits are embedded in those coefficients whose maximum possible changes are visually imperceptible. Experimental results show that changes resulting from the proposed method are perceptually undetectable, whereas model-based steganography retains perceptually detectable changes. This perceptual undetectability is achieved while the perceptual quality - based on the structural similarity measure - and the security - based on two steganalysis methods - do not show any significant changes.

In this study, we compare two image denoising methods which are the Rudin-Osher-Fatemi total variation (TV) model and the nonlocal means (NLM) algorithm on medical images. To evaluate those methods, we used two well known measuring metrics. The methods are tested with a CT image, one X-Ray image, and three MRI images. Experimental result shows that the NML algorithm can give better results than the ROF TV model, but computational complexity is high.

The paper clarifies all the noise sources of a CMOS image sensor, with which the GOCI (Geostationary Ocean Color Imager) is equipped, and analyzes their contribution to a nonlinear image sensor model. In particular, the noise PDF (Probability Density Function) is derived in terms of sensor-gain coefficients: a linear and a nonlinear gains. As a result, the relation between the noise characteristic and the sensor gains is studied.

This paper proposes a new quantitative and objective image quality metric which is essential to verify the performance of block-based DCT image coding. The proposed metric considers not only global distortion of coded image such as spatial frequency sensitivity and channel masking using HVS based multi-channel model, but also structural distortions caused block-based coding. The experimental results show a strong correlation between proposed metric and subjective metric.
