This paper proposes a method of image tile mosaics to preserve detailed depiction of the source image. This method enhance the shortcoming of the previous mosaic methods that cannot express the detailed depiction because of the gap between tiles. Our method is implemented by the usage of image tiles to preserve detailed depiction of the source image, as well as the usage of 2-layered tiles to.eliminate the gap between tiles. The method suggested in this paper are composed of following process. First of all, the position of the upper layer tile is located through a centroidal voronoi diagram to which an edge avoidance technique is applied, and the position of the lower layer tile is calculated using Delaunay triangulation. Secondly, discover the size and direction field of the tile considering the relation between tiles. Thirdly, adopt a photomosaic technique to use the image tiles. At this time, the technique of multi-level indexing is used to accelerate the speed of image searching. Through above process, the gap between tiles is minimized against other methods and a mosaic image with a maximized detailed description is achieved.

Image mosaicking is one of the basic and important technologies in the field of application using images. The key of image mosaicking is to extract seamlines from a joint image. The method proposed in this paper for image mosaicking is as follows. The feature points of the images to be joined are extracted and the joining form between the two images is identified. A reference position for detection the seamlines were selected according to the joint form, and an image pyramid was created for efficient image processing. The outlines of the image including buildings and roads are extracted from the overlapping area with low resolution, and the seamlines are determined by considering the components of the outlines. Based on this, the seamlines in the high-resolution image was re-searched and finally the seamline for image mosaicking was determined. In addition, in order to minimize color distortion of the image with the determined seamline, a method of improving the quality of the mosaic image by fine correction of the mosaic area was applied. It was confirmed that the quality of the seamline extraction results applying the method proposed was reasonable.

Vibration measurement using image processing is a fully non-contact measurement method and has many application fields. The resolution of vibration data measured by image processing depends on the camera performance and is lower than that measured by accelerometers. This work discusses the method to increase resolution of vibration signal measured by image processing based on the image mosaic technique with a high-power lens. The working principle of resolution enhancement was explained theoretically and verified by several experiments. It was shown that the proposed method can measure vibrations of relatively large scale structures with increased resolutions.

본 논문에서는 광고나 포스터제작에 사용될 수 있는 이미지 모자이크 기법을 소개한다. 모자이크는 임의의 개수의 셀로 하나의 전체 이미지를 표현하는 기법이다. 이중 포토 모자이크는 사진의 조합으로 새로운 사진을 생성한다. 이는 만들고자 하는 영상을 격자를 이용해 나누고 해당 격자에 최적의 이미지를 영상 DB 로부터 찾아 격자를 채움으로써 하나의 이미지 모자이크를 생성한다. 본 논문에서는 하나의 단위 이미지(색이 할당되지 않고 형태만 갖는 영상)를 사용하여 경계로 구분된 특정 영역을 채워나감으로써 하나의 추상화된 예술적 모자이크 영상을 생성하는 알고리즘을 소개한다. 하나의 단위 이미지는 회전, 이동을 통해 다양하게 변할 수 있으며 입력영상의 그래디언트의 방향과 에지정보를 이용해 해당영역을 채우게 된다. 이를 위해서 에지를 넘어서지 않도록 단위 이미지를 변환시키며 최적의 위치를 찾게된다. 또한 입력영상의 색상이나 임의의 색상이나 특정 색상테이블을 이용해 단위 이미지에 색상을 할당함으로써 만들고자 하는 입력영상과 비슷한 모양을 갖거나 형태만을 유지한 추상화된 모자이크 영상 생성이 가능하다.

In this paper, we propose the 3D shape reconstruction method that combine the mosaic method and the active stereo matching using the laser beam. The active stereo matching method detects the position information of the irradiated laser beam on object by analyzing the color and brightness variation of left and right image, and acquires the depth information in epipolar line. The mosaic method extracts feature point of image by using harris comer detection and matches the same keypoint between the sequence of images using the keypoint descriptor index method and infers correlation between the sequence of images. The depth information of the sequence image was calculated by the active stereo matching and the mosaic method. The merged depth information was reconstructed to the 3D shape information by wrapping and blending with image color and texture. The proposed reconstruction method could acquire strong the 3D distance information, and overcome constraint of place and distance etc, by using laser slit beam and stereo camera.

The urbanization of Korea has been rapidly progressed since 1960. Current available satellite images used in various fields are obtained after 1975. The CORONA Image data declassified in 1995, and are the only source of image which provide 1960's topographic information of the Korean Peninsula. In this sense CORONA imagery can be readily applicable for change detection in various fields such as urban, forest and environmental planning. To generate CORONA mosaic image of Korea we undertook comparative analysis of the various geocoding methods. We also applied the linear regression method to perform the radiometric balance between the strips.

This paper proposed the method of creating image mosaic in automated fashion. It is well known that geometric and radiometric balance in adjacent images should be maintained in mosaicking process. The seam line to minimize geometric discontinuity was extracted using Minimum Absolute­Gray-Difference Sum considering constraint condition in search width. To maintain the radiometric balance of images acquired at different time, we utilized Match Cumulative Frequency, Match Mean and Standard Deviation and Hue Adjustment algorithm. The mosaicked image prepared by the proposed method was compared with those of commercial software. Experiments show that seam lines were extracted significantly well from roads, rivers. ridgelines etc. and Match Cumulative Frequency algorithm was performed pretty good in histogram matching

In this paper, we propose an image compression scheme which uses a demosaicking network and a channel-wise decoder in the decoding network. For the demosaicing network, we use as the input a colored mosaiced pattern rather than the well-known Bayer pattern. The use of a colored mosaiced pattern results in the mosaiced image containing a greater amount of information pertaining to the original image. Therefore, it contributes to result in a better color reconstruction. The channel-wise decoder is composed of multiple decoders where each decoder is responsible for each channel in the color image, i.e., the R, G, and B channels. The encoder and decoder are both implemented by wavelet based auto-encoders for better performance. Experimental results verify that the separated channel-wise decoders and the colored mosaic pattern produce a better reconstructed color image than a single decoder. When combining the colored CFA with the multi-decoder, the PSNR metric exhibits an increase of over 2dB for three-times compression and approximately 0.6dB for twelve-times compression compared to the Bayer CFA with a single decoder. Therefore, the compression rate is also increased with the proposed method than with the method using a single decoder on the Bayer patterned mosaic image.

in this paper, we propose a dynamic-based compression system by creating mosaic background and transmitting the change information. A dynamic mosaic of the background is progressively integrated in a single image using the camera motion information. For the camera motion estimation, we calculate perspective projection parameters for each frame sequentially with respect to its previous frame. The camera motion is robustly estimated on the background by discriminating between background and foreground regions. The modified block-based motion estimation is used to separate the background region.

Remote Sensing using unmanned aerial vehicles(UAV) can acquire images with higher time resolution and spatial resolution than aerial and satellite remote sensing. However, UAV images are photographed at low altitude and the area covered by one image isrelatively narrow. Therefore multiple images must be processed to monitor large area. Since UAV images are photographed under different exposure conditions, there is difference in brightness values between adjacent images. When images are mosaicked, unnatural seamlines are generated because of the brightness difference. Therefore, in order to generate seamless mosaic image, a radiometric processing for correcting difference in brightness value between images is essential. This paper proposes a relative radiometric calibration and image blending technique. In order to analyze performance of the proposed method, mosaic images of UAV images in agricultural and mountainous areas were generated. As a result, mosaic images with mean brightness difference of 5 and root mean square difference of 7 were avchieved.
