Detection of surface water features including river, wetland, reservoir from the satellite imagery can be utilized for sustainable management and survey of water resources. This research compared the water indices derived from the multispectral bands and the machine learning technique for detecting the surface water features from he Landsat-8 satellite image acquired in Daegu through the following steps. First, the NDWI(Normalized Difference Water Index) image and the MNDWI(Modified Normalized Difference Water Index) image were separately generated using the multispectral bands of the given Landsat-8 satellite image, and the two binary images were generated from these NDWI and MNDWI images, respectively. Then SVM(Support Vector Machine), the widely used machine learning techniques, were employed to generate the land cover image and the binary image was also generated from the generated land cover image. Finally the error matrices were used for measuring the accuracy of the three binary images for detecting the surface water features. The statistical results showed that the binary image generated from the MNDWI image(84%) had the relatively low accuracy than the binary image generated from the NDWI image(94%) and generated by SVM(96%). And some misclassification errors occurred in all three binary images where the land features were misclassified as the surface water features because of the shadow effects.

This paper presents laplacian pyramid vector quantization (LPVQ) approach in which a vector quantizer is used to encode a series of quasi-bandpassed images generated by the laplacian pyramid processing. Performance of the LPVQ is compared to those of DCT domain methods at the same bit rate via computer simulations. Experimental results show that the PSNR's (peak signal-to-noise ratio) for the LPVQ are almost the same as those of the DCT based methods. However, subjective study indicates the LPVQ obtains slightly higher scores than the DCT based techniques.

In this paper, attempts have been made to code images employing a separating mean vector quantizer(SMVQ). Then we analyzed the performance of the SMVQ experimentally as well as analytically. The results of simulation with natural images are presented. But, conclusively the performance of the SMVQ technique is not better than that of the conventional vector quantizer. In this paper, a brief analysis in which we revealed that the performance, based on the mean square error measure, of the SMVQ is not favorable is favorable is discussed.

In this paper, we present a digital image data compression method using vector quantization preserving edges. A new vector quantization algorithm is proposed using a new sampling method and edge region extraction. The codebook generation time is faster than existing algorithms and the quality of decompressed images is much improved. Extrimental results suggest that the resultant compression ratio and PSNR are better than those of BPVQ and HMVQ methods.

The hybrid coding algorithm for multi-spectral image obtained from satellite is discussed. As the spatial and spectral resolution of satellite image are rapidly increasing, there are enormous amounts of data to be processed for computer processing and data transmission. Therefore an efficient coding algorithm is essential for multi-spectral image processing. In this paper, VQ(vector quantization), quadtree decomposition, and DCT(discrete cosine transform) are combined to compress the multi-spectral image. VQ is employed for predictive coding by using the fact that each band of multi-spectral image has the same spatial feature, and DCT is for the compression of residual image. Moreover, the image is decomposed into quadtree structure in order to allocate the data bit according to the information content within the image block to improve the coding efficiency. Computer simulation on Landsat TM image shows the validity of the proposed coding algorithm.

In this study, we want to composite the source image and the target image when the environment includes water surface in the target image such as lake, sea, etc. The water surface is different from other common environment. On the water surface, the object must be reflected or refract and sometimes is deformed by the wave of water. In order to composite the object in the source image onto the water image, we analyze the water surface of the target image and let the object be synthesized realistically based on the wave of water. Our composite process consists of three steps. First. we use Shape-from-Shading technique to extract the normal vector of the water surface in the target image. Next, the source image is deformed according to the normal vector map. Finally, we composite the deformed object onto the target image.

In general, the informations of the inner image that user interested in are limited to a special domain. In this paper, as using Wavelet Transform for dividing image into high frequency and low frequency, We can separate foreground including many data. After calculating object boundary of separated part, We extract special features using Color Coherence Vector. According to results of this experiment, the method of comparing data extracting foreground features is more effective than comparing data extracting features of entire image when we extract the image user interested in.

This paper suggests the operation performing the noise elimination of binary image. The image is read by the scanner. And operand is selected according to the size of input image. Through the Dilation and Erosion, elementary vector operation with selected operand, the noise of input image is eliminated.

This paper proposes an image compression algorithm that adopts projection scheme on wavelet transform domain of image signal. Wavelet decomposed image is encoded by the result of projection along one direction out of eight which approximates the coefficients most closely to the originally transformed coefficients. These projectrion data are vector quantized using separate codebooks depending on the decomposition level and orientation of decomposed of image. Experimental results reveals that proposed scheme shows excellent performance in PSNR manner and also shows good subjective quality.

In this paper, we propose improved binary tree vector quantization with consideration of spatial sensitivity which is one of the human visual properties. We combine weights in consideration with the responsibility of human visual system according to changes of three primary color in blocks of images with the process of splitting nodes using eigenvector in binary tree vector quantization. Also we propose the novel quality measure of the quantization images that applies MTF(modulation transfer function) to luminance value of quantization error of color image. The test results show that the proposed method generates the quantized images with fine color and performs better than the conventional method in terms of clustering the similar regions. Also the proposed method can get less quantized level images and can reduce the resource occupied by the quantized image.
