본 논문은 동영상 프레임 간 선명도를 균일하게 유지하면서 블러를 제거하는 기법을 제안한다. 고정된 변수들을 이용하는 기존 기법들과 달리, 제안하는 동영상 디블러링 기법은 영상에 따라 디블러 변수들을 조절함으로써 선명도를 균일하게 만들어 준다. 먼저, 입력 프레임의 초기 블러 커널을 추정하고, 디컨볼루션을 수행한 뒤, 선명도를 측정한다. 그리고 균일한 선명도를 유지할 수 있도록 측정된 선명도에 기반하여 정규화 변수와 커널을 조절하고, 다시 디컨볼루션을 수행한다. 실험 결과를 통해 제안 기법이 상당히 균일한 선명도를 유지하면서 디블러링을 수행함을 확인할 수 있다.

본 논문에서는 영상의 선명도를 영상의 주파수 도메인 정보를 이용하여 측정하는 새로운 무기준법 화질 평가 방법을 제안한다. 기존에, 영상에 대한 선명도는 일반적으로 영상의 픽셀 값을 이용하여 측정되었다. 제안된 방법은 기존 방법과 달리 영상에 대한 선명도를 주파수 도메인 정보를 이용하여 측정하였다. 주파수 도메인에서 선명도를 평가하기 위하여 주어진 영상은 가우시안 저주파 필터를 사용하여 열화 되고, 열화 영상과 주어진 영상의 주파수 영역 계수를 사용하여 새로운 선명도 평가 함수를 정의하였다. 제안된 방법의 성능 검증은 TID2008 화질 평가 데이터베이스를 사용하여 이루어졌다. 기존 무기준법 영상 선명도 평가 방법과 비교하였을 때, 제안된 선명도 평가 방법은 주관적 화질 점수와 보다 높은 상관도를 보였다.

Sharpness of the tip of micro needle is very Important quality that should be controlled in the manufacturing processes. Acupuncture needle is one of the most widely used micro-needle. And the tip sharpness of acupuncture needle Is usually checked by the magnitude of resisting force obtained through sharpness test. In this study, some sharpness tests of acupuncture needle were done and the relationship between the misalignment of specimen and the magnitude of resisting force. The diameter of the needle used in the test was $250\;{\mu}m$ and the length of it was 40 mm.

본 연구에서는 그라디언트(gradient) 공식을 사용하여 무인항공사진의 선명도 분석을 실시하고, 작업자가 간단하게 사용할 수 있도록 MATLAB GUI(Graphical User Interface) 기반 선명도 분석 tool 제작에 대하여 소개하였다. 본 연구에서 제시한 선명도 분석 방법의 신뢰도를 검증하기 위하여 상용 software인 Agisoft사의 Metashape로 무인항공영상의 선명도를 측정한 결과와 비교하였다. 총 10장의 영상을 대상으로 두 가지 tool로 선명도를 각각 측정한 결과 동일 영상에 대하여 선명도 수치의 값들은 서로 상이하였다. 하지만 두 결괏값 간에는 0.11 ~ 0.20 정도의 일정한 편이(bias)가 존재하여 이를 소거하면 동일한 선명도를 나타내어 본 연구에서 제시한 선명도 분석 방법의 신뢰도를 입증하였다. 또한, 제시한 선명도 분석 방법의 실용성을 검증하기 위하여 선명도가 낮은 무인항공사진을 저품질의 영상으로 분류한 후, 각각 이를 포함한 정사영상과 이를 제외하고 제작한 정사영상의 품질을 비교하였다. 실험결과, 저품질의 무인항공사진을 포함하고 있는 정사영상은 해상도 타겟 부분의 흐림 현상으로 품질 분석이 불가하였다. 하지만 저품질의 무인항공사진을 제외하고 제작한 정사영상의 GSD (Ground Sample Distance)는 해상도 타겟이 선명하게 관측 가능하여 bar target은 3.2cm, siemens star는 4.0cm이었다. 이 결과는 본 연구에서 제시한 선명도 분석 방법의 실용성을 입증하였다.

Sharpness enhancement, which strengthen the edge(high frequency) of image, is widely studied for image processing research area. In this paper, psychophysical experiment is conducted by the 20 observers with simple linear unsharp masking for sharpness enhancement. The experimental results extracted using z-score analysis and linear regression suggests observer preferable sharpness enhancement method for digital television.

This paper reports a depth-adaptive sharpness adjustment algorithm for stereoscopic perception improvement, and presents its field-programmable gate array (FPGA) implementation results. The first step of the proposed algorithm was to estimate the depth information of an input stereo video on a block basis. Second, the objects in the input video were segmented according to their depths. Third, the sharpness of the foreground objects was enhanced and that of the background was maintained or weakened. This paper proposes a new sharpness enhancement algorithm to suppress visually annoying artifacts, such as jagging and halos. The simulation results show that the proposed algorithm can improve stereoscopic perception without intentional depth adjustments. In addition, the hardware architecture of the proposed algorithm was designed and implemented on a general-purpose FPGA board. Real-time processing for full high-definition stereo videos was accomplished using 30,278 look-up tables, 24,553 registers, and 1,794,297 bits of memory at an operating frequency of 200MHz.

Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) image can link with the microscopic world through reflecting interaction between electrons and materials. The SEM images are easily subject to blurring distortions during the imaging process. Inspired by the fact that dark channel prior captures the changes to blurred SEM images caused by the blur process, we propose a method to evaluate the SEM images sharpness based on the dark channel prior. A SEM image database is first established with mean opinion score collected as ground truth. For the quality assessment of the SEM image, the dark channel map is generated. Since blurring is typically characterized by the spread of edge, edge of dark channel map is extracted. Then noise is removed by an edge-preserving filter. Finally, the maximum gradient and the average gradient of image are combined to generate the final sharpness score. The experimental results on the SEM blurred image database show that the proposed algorithm outperforms both the existing state-of-the-art image sharpness metrics and the general-purpose no-reference quality metrics.

This paper presents a new comparison method for haze-removal algorithms in next-generation automotive systems. Compared to previous peak signal-to-noise ratio-based comparisons, which measure similarity, the proposed modulation transfer function-based method checks sharpness to select a more suitable haze-removal algorithm for lane detection. Among the practical filtering schemes used for a haze-removal algorithm, experimental results show that Gaussian filtering effectively preserves the sharpness of road images, enhancing lane detection accuracy.

A prediction model for the sound quality of household refrigerator noise was proposed by investigating subjective and objective attributes of the noise [Jeon et al. (2007) Appl. Acoust.]. In the present study, the just noticeable difference (JND) of each sound quality metric - Zwicker's loudness, sharpness, roughness and fluctuation strength - which constitute the prediction model was investigated. Loudness of recorded sound samples from five refrigerators were varied according to constant intervals in sound pressure levels. Sharpness was also changed at 14-16 barks. Auditory experiments were conducted to discriminate the JNDs of loudness and sharpness by method of limit. The results indicated that JNDs of loudness and sharpness were 0.50 sone and 0.08 acum, respectively.

In order to investigate the relationship between fabric sound parameters and subjective sensation, each sound from 60 fabrics was recorded and analyzed by Fast Fourier transform. Level pressure of total sound (LPT), three coefficients (ARC, ARF, ARE) of auto regressive models, loudness (Z), and sharpness (Z) by Zwickers model were estimated as sound parameters. For subjective evaluation, seven sensation (softness, loudness, sharpness, clearness, roughness, highness, and pleasantness) was rated by both semantic differential scale (SDS) and free modulus magnitude estimation (FMME). As the results, the ARC values were positively proportional to both LPT and loudness (Z) values. In both of SDS and FMME, softness, clearness, and pleasantness were negatively correlated with loudness, sharpness, roughness, and highness. In regression models, softness and clearness by FMME were negatively affected by LPT뭉 ARC, while loudness, sharpness, roughness, and highness were positively expected. Regression models for pleasantness showed low values for R2.
