본 논문에서는 X-Ray 영상에서 발 뼈의 골절 영역을 분석 및 진단하기 위한 전단계로서 X-Ray 영상에서 뼈와 피부 영역을 분할하는 방법을 제안한다. 제안된 방법은 X-Ray 영상의 피부 영역과 발 뼈 영역을 분할하기 위해 가우시안 필터를 적용하여 DOG 영상을 생성한다. 그러나 기존의 가우시안 필터는 정적으로 적용되기 때문에 영상을 촬영하는 부위와 각도에 따라 영상의 특성이 달라지는 X-Ray 영상에 적용하기에 부적합하다. 따라서 부위와 각도에 따라 영상의 특성 변화에 민감하지 않는 동적 가우시안 필터를 제안한다. 실험 결과에서는 제안하는 동적 가우시안 필터와 기존의 정적인 가우시안 필터를 각각 적용하여 생성된 DOG 영상에 대해서 발 뼈 영역과 피부 영역을 분할하고, 효율성을 TPR과 특이도로 분석한 결과, 제안된 동적 가우시안 필터를 적용한 방법이 정적 가우시안 필터보다 평균적으로 TPR는 0.12%와 특이도는 평균적으로 0.36%가 개선된 것을 확인하였다.

본 논문에서는 현재 활발하게 표준화가 진행중인 3D-HEVC 의 기술들 중 Backward View Synthesis Prediction(BVSP)에서 움직임 보상을 수행하는 서브 블록 경계에 가우시안 필터를 적용하는 방법을 제안한다. BVSP 에서는 4x4 서브 블록 단위로 대표 깊이 정보를 구하여 움직임 보상을 수행하기 때문에 서브 블록 경계에 블록킹 왜곡이 발생할 수 있으므로 가우시안 필터를 통해 이러한 왜곡을 줄일 수 있다. 하지만 모든 경계 픽셀에 대해 가우시안 필터를 적용하지 않고 경계 픽셀의 주변 정보에 따라 적응적으로 가우시안 필터를 적용하고, 필터의 컨트롤 파라미터 또한 적응적으로 변경하는 방법을 제시한다. 제안하는 방법을 기존의 HTM 6.2 와 비교했을 때, 평균 0.1%의 부호화 효율 개선을 보이고 복잡도는 1.2% 증가 하였다.

In this paper, we proposed a nonlinear synthesis filter for noise reduction to reduce the effects of Gaussian noise and impulse noise. When the centralization of the local mask is judged to be Gaussian noise by the noise judgment, the weight value of the weight filter are applied differently according to the spatial weight filter and the pixel change by using the sample variance in the local mask. And if it is determined as the impulse noise, we proposed an algorithm that applies different weights of local histogram weight filter and standard median filter according to noise density of mask. In order to evaluate the performance of the proposed filter algorithm, we used PSNR(peak signal to noise ratio) and compared existing methods and proposed filter algorithm in the mixed noise environment with Gaussian noise, impulsive noise, and two noises mixed.

The restoration of an image corrupted by Gaussian noise is an important task in image processing. There are many kinds of filters are proposed to remove Gaussian noise such as Gaussian filter, mean filter, weighted filter, etc. However, they perform not good enough for denoising and edge preservation. Hence, in this paper we proposed an adaptive weighted filter which considers spatial distance and the estimated variance of noise. We also compared the proposed method with existing methods through the simulation and used MSE(mean squared error) as the standard of judgement of improvement effect.

본 논문은 SIFT(Scale Invariant Feature Transform)알고리즘의 실시간처리 응용프로그램 작성기법을 기술하고 있는데, 단일 프로세서에서 병렬처리 기능을 지원하도록 설계된 SSE 명령어 집합을 사용하여 가우시안 convolution을 구현하고 있다. SIFT알고리즘의 Scale-space를 생성하는 과정에 수행되는 가우시안 Convolution은 연산시간이 과도하게 요구된다.[1] 2D의 가우시안 필터가 영상을 구성하는 모든 셀과 1:1로 연산을 수행하므로 이 연산의 소요시간은 영상의 가로, 세로 길이 그리고 필터의 크기에 비례하여 결정된다. 이 논문에서 제안하는 방법은 연산을 위해 CPU 내부로 한번 읽어 들인 픽셀자료에 대해 가능한 모든 연산을 SSE 명령어 집합을 사용하여 수행함으로써 병렬 연산에 의한 연산시간 절감과 메모리 접근 최소화를 통한 입출력시간 절감을 통해 전체 연산시간을 단축 하였다.

Vision-based navigation of unmaned aerial vehicle is a significant technology that can reinforce the vulnerability of the widely used GPS/INS integrated navigation system. However, the existing image matching algorithms are not suitable for matching the aerial image with the database. For the reason, this paper proposes particle filters using Gaussian mixture models to deal with matching between aerial image and database for vision-based navigation. The particle filters estimate the position of the aircraft by comparing the correspondences of aerial image and database under the assumption of Gaussian mixture model. Finally, Monte Carlo simulation is presented to demonstrate performance of the proposed method.

Image processing steps consist of image acquisition, pre-processing, region segmentation and recognition, and the images are easily corrupted by noise during the data transmission, data capture, and data processing. Impulse noise and gaussian noise are major noises, which can occur during the process. Many filters such as mean filter, median filter, weighted median filter, Cheikh filter, and Kyu-cheol Lee filter were proposed as spatial noise reduction filters so far. Many researches have been focused on the reduction of impulse noise, but comparatively the research in the reduction of gaussian noise has been neglected. For the reduction of gaussian noise, subset averaged median filter, using median information and subset average information of pixels in a window. was proposed. At this time, consider of the window size as 3$^{*}$3 pixel. The window is divided to 4 subsets consisted of 4 pixels. First of all, we calculate the average value of each subset, and then find the median value by sorting the average values and center pixel's value. In this paper, a better reduction of gaussian noise was proved. The proposed algorithms were implemented by ANSI C language on a Sun Ultra 2 for testing purposes and the effects and results of the filter in the various levels of noise and images were proposed by comparing the values of PSNR, MSE, and RMSE with the value of the other existing filtering methods.thods.

In this paper, we present a low complexity modified Gaussian model based pre-processing filter to improve the performance of H.264 compressed video. Video sequence captured by general imaging system represents the degraded version due to the additive noise which decreases coding efficiency and results in unpleasant coding artifacts due to higher frequency components. By incorporating local statistics and quantization parameter into filtering process, the spurious noise is significantly attenuated and coding efficiency is improved for given quantization step size. In addition, in order to reduce the complexity of the pre-processing filter, the simplified local statistics and quantization parameter are introduced. The simulation results show the capability of the proposed algorithm.

The audio and image signal are corrupted by various noises in signal processing, many studies are being accomplished to restore those signals. In this paper, the algorithm is proposed to remove additive Gaussian noise and impulse noise at one dimension signal like an speech signal. The algorithm is composed to remove Gaussian noise after removing impulse noise. And the method using wavelet coefficient accumulation is used to remove the Gaussian noise, and the median filter based on element deviation is applied to remove the impulse noise. Also we compare existing methods using SNR(signal-to-noise ratio) as the standard of judgement of improvemental effect.

The information captured by imaging devices such as CCD or CIS may contain external noises through the processes of passing signals or storing images. In this paper, we propose a Modified Sigma Filter (MSF) algorithm to reduce such noises. In experiment, we verified that our MSF algorithm showed better performance in PSNR and 1D plot of simulation results compared with Gaussian Filter (GF), Local Sigma Filter (LSF). Tested images include random Gaussian Noises.
