In this paper, we proposed a method to analyze kind of clouds using a fuzzy reasoning method. In the proposed method, we used the clues that G channel value is dominant from RGB color values in land areas and B channel value is dominant in the sea areas discovered by the analyses of both visible images and infrared images. By these information, R and B channel values are applied to land areas and R and G channel values are applied to the sea areas. Noise areas(areas except cloud areas) are removed from a visible image and an infrared image by a threshold value, and then land areas and the sea areas are discriminated from the noise removed image. Cloud areas are extracted from discriminated areas using R, G, B channel values and a fuzzy reasoning method, and finally kind of clouds is decided by combining same cloud areas included in both the visible image and the infrared image. In comparison with a conventional quantization method, we verified that the performance of cloud analysis by the proposed method is more efficient through experiments.

In case of a fire in urban large structures such as super high-rise buildings, evacuation guidance must be provided to the occupants in order to minimize human deaths and injuries. Therefore, it is essential to provide emergency evacuation guidance when a major fire occurs. In order to effectively support evacuation guidance, it is important to identify major items such as fire location, occupant position, escape route, etc. Also, it is important to quickly identify evacuation areas where residents can safely evacuate from a fire. In this paper, we analyze the CCTV video and propose a method of measuring visibility of the evacuation zone from the smoke caused by the fire in order to determine the safety of evacuation area. To do this, we first extract the background video from the smoke video to measure the visibility of the specific area due to smoke. After generating an edge-extracted image for the extracted background video, the degree of visibility is measured by calculating the change in the edge strength due to smoke.

In general, infrared images have less sharpness and image details than visible images. So, the prior image upscaling methods are not effective in the infrared images. In order to solve this problem, this paper proposes an algorithm which initially up-scales an input infrared (IR) image by using adaptive dynamic range encoding (ADRC)-based super-resolution (SR) method, and then fuses the result with the corresponding visible images. The proposed algorithm consists of a up-scaling phase and a fusion phase. First, an input IR image is up-scaled by the proposed ADRC-based SR algorithm. In the dictionary learning stage of this up-scaling phase, so-called 'pre-emphasis' processing is applied to training-purpose high-resolution images, hence better sharpness is achieved. In the following fusion phase, high-frequency information is extracted from the visible image corresponding to the IR image, and it is adaptively weighted according to the complexity of the IR image. Finally, a up-scaled IR image is obtained by adding the processed high-frequency information to the up-scaled IR image. The experimental results show than the proposed algorithm provides better results than the state-of-the-art SR, i.e., anchored neighborhood regression (A+) algorithm. For example, in terms of just noticeable blur (JNB), the proposed algorithm shows higher value by 0.2184 than the A+. Also, the proposed algorithm outperforms the previous works even in terms of subjective visual quality.

In aspects of materializing rational and reasonable beauty in motion picture contents design area, it intends to conceptualize the visual design through studies of the invisible area, the virtual space of the dematerialized era, contrary to the commonly practiced visual design area of the concrete substance and to provide an opportunity to gain new senses and the embedded meanings of the motion picture graphics, which are created in the electronic space. Especially, although the invisible phenomenon such as electromagnetic wave exist in space, it was treated as a conceptual subject. However, it intends to seek a design approach about physical, poetical, aesthetical experience of the design in the invisible area, escaped from the limited existing perspective. Based on such theory, it denotes to secure the possibility of new design through the application of sound, rhythm, color and image in fractal design area.

본 논문에서는 수중 영상 환경에 특화된 자동 수중 영상 보정 시스템을 제안한다. 수중 영상은 빛 희석(light attenuation)을 인한 가시거리 제한, 낮은 영상 대비(low contrast) 그리고 부유물질과 같은 영상의 노이즈 등의 특수한 환경적 제약이 따른다. 기존의 수중 영상 보정 알고리즘은 색 및 대비(contrast) 보정, 가시거리 확장 및 노이즈 제거 기법등을 이용한 부분적으로 보정 연구가 진행되어 왔는데, 부분적 영상 보정 기법으로는 선명한 영상의 결과를 얻기 힘들다. 제안한 통합 수중 영상 보정 시스템은 색 및 대비 보정, 부유물질 제거를 위한 노이즈 필터링, 객체 윤곽선 강화를 위한 기법들을 통합하여 수중 영상에 특화하였다. 실험을 통하여 제안된 수중 영상 보정 시스템의 효율성을 확인하였다.

In recent years, In recent years, research on geo-tagged image contents has defined a view frustum based on filming location and direction data and has studied indexes and various query search techniques for efficient search. The existing view frustum model has a limit of using the static visible distance and provides a simple service that displays the huge image contents on the digital map. We show a method to acquire filming location and attitude data and propose a view frustum model that can change the visible distance using geospatial object data. In addition, we describe the augmented reality service that combines the image matching technique so that it can be mapped in the scene where the image contents are captured.

본 논문에서는 영상에 워터마크를 삽입하고 추출하는 동시에 원영상을 복원하는 리버서블 워터마킹 알고리즘을 제안한다. 제안한 알고리즘의 핵심은 워터마크가 삽입된 영상에 변하지 않는 위치정보를 전달하는 것이다. 본 논문에서는 우선 원영상을 odd image와 even image로 분리한 다음odd image에 interpolation 기법을 이용하여 resizing시키고 resizing 된 영상(odd_resize_image)에서 기수항은 그대로 두고 우수항은 기수항과 우수항의 차이값으로 채우는 방법으로 location map을 얻는다. 이 location map 에 의해 워터마크를 삽입위치를 선택하면 추출과정에서도 같은 location map을 이용할 수 있기에 워터마크 삽입위치를 정확하게 판단하여 추출할 수 있고 동시에 원본 영상을 복원할 수 있다. 본 알고리즘은 영상에 변화를 적게 주었기 때문에 높은 비가시성을 보인다. 실험 결과 $256{\times}256$ 영상에서 PSNR이 평균 53.07dB의 우수한 비가시성을 보였다.

Infrared (IR) wavelength is out of visible range and thus usually cut by hot filters in general commercial cameras. However, some information from the near-IR (NIR) range is known to improve the overall visibility of scene in many cases. For example when there is fog or haze in the scene, NIR image has clearer visibility than visible image because of its stronger penetration property. In this paper, we propose an algorithm for fusing the RGB and NIR images to obtain the enhanced images of the outdoor scenes. First, we construct a weight map by comparing the contrast of the RGB and NIR images, and then fuse the two images based on the weight map. Experimental results show that the proposed method is effective in enhancing visible image and removing the haze.
