초해상도 영상복원은 저해상도 영상을 이용하여 하나의 고해상도 영상을 획득하는 기법이다. 초해상도 영상복원은 크게 두 가지 방법으로 구현된다. 단일 영상을 이용한 초해상도 영상복원과, 여러 장의 저해상도 영상을 이용한 초해상도 영상복원 기법이 연구되고 있다. 여러 장의 저해상도 영상을 이용한 공간영역에서의 초해상도 영상복원 알고리즘은 크게 정합, 보간, 후처리 과정을 거치게 된다. 본 논문에서는 정합과정 이전에 입력영상보정을 통한 전처리과정을 수행하여 잡음으로 인한 부정확한 위치정보추정 확률을 감소시키고, 입력영상보정과정인 전처리과정으로 인해 후처리과정을 통한 영상복원 영상보다 향상된 영상을 획득하는 기법을 제안하며, 실험결과에서 기존의 방법보다 좋은 영상을 얻음을 확인하였다.

X-ray image analysis is a very important field to improve the early diagnosis rate and prediction accuracy of periodontal disease. Research on the development and application of artificial intelligence-based algorithms to improve the quality of such dental X-ray images is being widely conducted worldwide. Thus, the aim of this study was to design a super-resolution algorithm for predicting periodontal disease and to evaluate its applicability in dental X-ray images. The super-resolution algorithm was constructed based on the convolution layer and ReLU, and an image obtained by up-sampling a low-resolution image by 2 times was used as an input data. Also, 1,500 dental X-ray data used for deep learning training were used. Quantitative evaluation of images used root mean square error and structural similarity, which are factors that can measure similarity through comparison of two images. In addition, the recently developed no-reference based natural image quality evaluator and blind/referenceless image spatial quality evaluator were additionally analyzed. According to the results, we confirmed that the average similarity and no-reference-based evaluation values were improved by 1.86 and 2.14 times, respectively, compared to the existing bicubic-based upsampling method when the proposed method was used. In conclusion, the super-resolution algorithm for predicting periodontal disease proved useful in dental X-ray images, and it is expected to be highly applicable in various fields in the future.

The necessity of transmitting video data over a narrow-bandwidth exists steadily despite that video service over broadband is common. In this paper, we propose a scalable video coding framework for low-resolution video transmission over a very narrow-bandwidth network by super-resolution of decoded frames of a base layer using a convolutional neural network based super resolution technique to improve the coding efficiency by using it as a prediction for the enhancement layer. In contrast to the conventional scalable high efficiency video coding (SHVC) standard, in which upscaling is performed with a fixed filter, we propose a scalable video coding framework that replaces the existing fixed up-scaling filter by using the trained convolutional neural network for super-resolution. For this, we proposed a neural network structure with skip connection and residual learning technique and trained it according to the application scenario of the video coding framework. For the application scenario where a video whose resolution is $352{\times}288$ and frame rate is 8fps is encoded at 110kbps, the quality of the proposed scalable video coding framework is higher than that of the SHVC framework.

Recently, as Intelligent Transportation System (ITS) and self-driving system become influential in the ground transportation system, automotive radar systems have been actively studied among the various radar systems to implement the vehicle collision detection system and distance measurement system between vehicles. Most of the automotive radars are Frequency Modulated Continuous Wave (FMCW) radar type which can calculate distance and velocity of target by estimating the frequency difference between the transmitted signal and received signal. Therefore, accurate frequency estimation is very important in the FMCW radar system. For this reason, to improve the measurement accuracy of the FMCW radar, Reverse Directional FRI (RD-FRI) Super-Resolution technique which has high frequency estimation accuracy is applied to the FMCW radar system. The feasibility of the proposed technique is evaluated with simulation results and compared with FFT and conventional Super-Resolution techniques. The simulation results show that the proposed technique estimates the frequency with high accuracy and the distance with centimeter accuracy.

This paper is related to object segmentation using ESRGAN(Enhanced Super Resolution GAN) and SSS(Semantic Soft Segmentation). The segmentation performance of the object segmentation method using Mask R-CNN and SSS proposed by the research team in this paper is generally good, but the segmentation performance is poor when the size of the objects is relatively small. This paper is to solve these problems. The proposed method aims to improve segmentation performance of small objects by performing super-resolution through ESRGAN and then performing SSS when the size of an object detected through Mask R-CNN is below a certain threshold. According to the proposed method, it was confirmed that the segmentation characteristics of small-sized objects can be improved more effectively than the previous method.

저해상도 영상을 고해상도 영상으로 복원하기 위한 다양한 방법의 초해상도 기법이 존재한다. 다양한 기법들 중에서도 ELBP 분류기를 이용한 초해상도 기법[1]은 단일 영상 기반의 초해상도 기법으로 사전에 학습된 필터를 이용하여 고해상도 영상을 획득하는 기법이다. 그러나 해당 알고리즘을 일반적인 CPU 환경에서 수행할 경우 실시간으로 영상을 획득하는데 어려움이 존재한다. 본 논문에서는 지역메모리를 이용한 GPU 환경에서의 최적화를 수행하여 ELBP 분류기를 이용한 초해상도 기법의 가속성을 보인다. 먼저, 알고리즘에 대하여 간단히 설명하고 CUDA 가속화 기법[2]을 차례로 적용했을 때 얻을 수 있는 가속 성능을 확인한다. 최종적으로 본 논문은 CPU 환경과 비교했을 때 5 배의 가속 효과를 얻을 수 있다.

In this paper, we propose a new approach for tracking each human in a surveillance camera network with various resolution cameras. When tracking human on multiple non-overlapping cameras, the traditional appearance features are easily affected by various camera viewing conditions. To overcome this limitation, the proposed system utilizes facial information along with appearance information. In general, human images captured by the surveillance camera are often low resolution, so it is necessary to be able to extract useful features even from low-resolution faces to facilitate tracking. In the proposed tracking scheme, texture-based face descriptor is exploited to extract features from detected face after face frontalization. In addition, when the size of the face captured by the surveillance camera is very small, a super-resolution technique that enlarges the face is also exploited. The experimental results on the public benchmark Dana36 dataset show promising performance of the proposed algorithm.

본 논문에서는 웨이블릿 기저를 적용하여 영상을 주파수 대역이 각각 다른 영상으로 분리하고 이들과 원본 영상을 조합 후 웨이블릿 역변환을 적용하여 고해상도의 영상을 획득하는 초고해상도 기법을 제안한다. 기존의 단일 영상을 이용한 초고해상도 기법의 경우 영상에서의 고주파 대역을 찾기 위해 확률 기반의 여러 다양한 방법이 제시되었으나 연산 복잡도 증가로 인해 처리시간 증가 등의 문제가 발생한다. 이러한 문제를 해결하기 위해 웨이블릿 기저 함수를 이용한 다양한 초고해상도 기법이 제안되었다. 본 논문에서는 주어진 영상 내에서 웨이블릿 기저 함수를 이용하여 주파수 대역 별로 영상을 먼저 생성하고, 원본 영상과 주파수 대역 별로 분리된 영상을 조합한 후 웨이블릿 역변환을 적용하여 해상도를 증가시키는 새로운 기법을 제안한다. 실험을 통해 제안하는 웨이블릿 기반의 초고해상도 기법이 기존의 해상도 향상을 위한 다양한 보간법에 비해 향상된 효율을 보이는 것을 확인하였다.
