Image enhancement is a necessary end essential step after taking a picture with a digital camera. Many different photo software packages attempt to automate this process with various auto enhancement techniques. This paper provides and implements a system that can learn a user's preferences and apply the preferences into the process of image enhancement. Five major components are applied to the implemented system, which are computing a distance metric, finding a training set, finding an optimal parameter set, training and finally enhancing the input image. To estimate the validity of the method, we carried out user studies, and the fact that the implemented system was preferred over the method without learning user preferences.

Image compression is a fundamental technique in the field of digital image processing, which will help to decrease the storage space and to transmit the files efficiently. Recently many deep learning techniques have been proposed to promise results on image compression field. Since many image compression techniques have artifact problems, this paper has compared two deep learning approaches to verify their performance experimentally to solve the problems. One of the approaches is a deep autoencoder technique, and another is a deep convolutional neural network (CNN). For those results in the performance of peak signal-to-noise and root mean square error, this paper shows that deep autoencoder method has more advantages than deep CNN approach.

Recently, with the explosive increase of video streaming services, real-time live broadcasting has also increased, which leads to an infringement problem for user privacy. So, to solve such problems, we proposed the real image blurring system using dlib face-recognition library. 68 face landmarks are extracted and convert into 128 vector values. After that the proposed system tries to compare this value with the image in the database, and if it is over 0.45, it is considered as different person and image blurring processing is performed. With the proposed system, it is possible to solve the problem of user privacy infringement, and also to be utilized to detect the specific person. Through experimental results, the proposed system has an accuracy of more than 90% in terms of face recognition.

Sidewall angle (SWA) of an absorber stack in extreme ultraviolet lithography mask is considered to be $90^{\circ}$ ideally, however, it is difficult to obtain $90^{\circ}$ SWA because absorber profile is changed by complicated etching process. As the imaging performance of the mask can be varied with this SWA of the absorber stack, more complicated optical proximity correction is required to compensate for the variation of imaging performance. In this study, phase shift mask (PSM) is suggested to reduce the variation of imaging performance due to SWA change by modifying mask material and structure. Variations of imaging performance and lithography process margin depending on SWA were evaluated through aerial image and developed resist simulations to confirm the advantages of PSM over the binary intensity mask (BIM). The results show that the variations of normalized image log slope and critical dimension bias depending on SWA are reduced with PSM compared to BIM. Process margin for exposure dose and focus was also improved with PSM.

Recently, we proposed a 3-D range-image measuring system for a slowly moving object by mechanically scanning a laser light beam emitted from a self mixing laser diode. In this paper, we introduced that every object moves along a straight line course, which is set diagonally against the semiconductor laser beam so that we can recognize each shape and size parameters of objects separately from the acquired 3-D range-image. We measured a square mesa on a square plane as an object. The measured velocity was 4.44mm/s and 4.63mm/s with an error of 0.56mm/s to 0.37mm/s. And thickness error of the mesa was 0.5mm to 0.6mm, which was obtained from the 3-D range-image of the standstill or moving object with thickness of 17.Omm.

This paper explores a content-based image retrieval framework with relevance feedback based on genetic algorithm (GA). This framework adopts GA to learn the user preferences using the similarity functions defined for all available descriptors. The objective of the GA-based learning methods is to learn the user preferences using the similarity functions and to find a descriptor combination function that best represents the user perception. Experiments were performed to validate the proposed frameworks. The experiments employed the natural image databases and color and texture descriptors to represent the content of database images. The proposed frameworks were compared with the other two relevance feedback methods regarding effectiveness in image retrieval tasks. Experiment results demonstrate the superiority of the proposed method.

The wavelet transform was adopted as the transform for JPEG2000. However, wavelet has weakness about smoothness along the contours and limited directional information. So we use to other transform, called contourlet transform in compression. Objective quality assessment methods currently used Peak signal to noise Ratio(PSNR). But that is not very well matched to perceived visual quality. So new image quality assessment is required. In this paper, we propose a new method for image compression based on the contourlet transform, which has been recently introduced. In addition we evaluated compression image quality using PSNR and SSIM. Finally contourlet transform has a good result about images with smooth contours and SSIM is good method for image evaluation compared to PSNR.

This paper presents a novel method for image classification based on a hybrid genetic algorithm (GA) and support vector machine (SVM) approach which can significantly improve the classification performance for content-based image retrieval (CBIR). Though SVM has been widely applied to CBIR, it has some problems such as the kernel parameters setting and feature subset selection of SVM which impact the classification accuracy in the learning process. This study aims at simultaneously optimizing the parameters of SVM and feature subset without degrading the classification accuracy of SVM using GA for CBIR. Using the hybrid GA and SVM model, we can classify more images in the database effectively. Experiments were carried out on a large-size database of images and experiment results show that the classification accuracy of conventional SVM may be improved significantly by using the proposed model. We also found that the proposed model outperformed all the other models such as neural network and typical SVM models.

Recently, as the multimedia processing application increases rapidly by going on increasing multimedia data, the efficient retrieval method of image information is required in many fields of application and becoming the matter of major concern. Furthermore, in the last few years rapid improvements in hardware technology have made it possible to process, store and retrieve huge amounts of data in a multimedia format. As a result, Content-Based Image Retrieval (CBIR) has been receiving widespread interest during the last decade. This paper propose the content-based retrieval system as a method for performing image retrieval through the effective feature analysis of the object of significant meaning by using YCbCr channel merging on the basis of the characteristics of man's visual system.
