본 논문에서는 다양한 변이 추정 방식 중 영역기반(Area-based) 알고리듬과 특정기반(Feature-based) 알고리듬을 결합한 하이브리드(Hybrid) 변이추정 알고리듬을 제안한다. 제안하는 알고리듬은 Features from Accelerated Segment Test(FAST) 코너 점 추출기[2]를 이용하여 좌, 우 영상 각각의 특징 점을 추출한 후, 특징 점들의 정보를 이용한 스테레오 정함을 통해 신뢰도 높은 초기 변이지도(Disparity map)를 생생하게 된다. 그러나 생성된 초기 변이지도는 조밀하지 못하므로, 조밀한 변이 지도를 획득하기 위해 특징점이 추출된 영역에 대해서는 추정된 초기 변이 값을 이웃 픽셀과의 색 유사도를 고려하여 전파시키고 특징 점이 추출되지 않은 영역에 대해서는 이진 윈도우(Binary window)를 활용한 영역기반 변이추정 알고리듬[1]을 이용하여 변이 값을 추정한다. 이를 통해, 제안 알고리듬은 특징 기반 알고리듬에서 발생할 수 있는 보간법 문제를 해결함과 동시에 신뢰도가 높은 초기 변이지도를 사용함으로써, 영역 기반 알고리듬의 정합 오차를 줄여 신뢰도 높은 변이지도를 생생할 수 있다. 실험 결과 추정된 초기 변이지도는 ground truth와 비교 시 약 99%이상의 정확도를 보이며, 특징 점이 추출된 영역에서 기존의 영역기반 알고리듬보다 더 정확한 변이 값이 추정되었음을 확인하였다.

In this paper, we propose that the polyphase scaler whose performance to that of the bicubic method, has less complexity in hardware structure. In order to get the new information, proposed system is based on the group delay which is one of the digital filter characteristics. The performance of this system is superior to that of bicubic algorithm which is well known. Because the hardware structure is simpler than other image scalers, we can adopt this system for mobile devices easily. The previous polyphase filters make blurring noise which is generated by up-scaling. We replace polyphase filters by boost-up filter to get vivid image. The proposed scaler is verified by Xilinx Virtex2 FPGA and is used as digital Boom in mobile camera phone.

When examining current process of object tracking and search, objects were tracked by extracting them from image that was inputted through fixed single camera and objects were recognized through Zoom function to know detailed information on objects tracked. This study proposed system that expresses information on area that can seek and recognize object tracked as augmented reality by recognizing and seeking object by using multi camera. The result of experiment on proposed system showed that the number of pixels that was included in calculation was remarkably reduced and recognition rate of object was enhanced and time that took to identify information was shortened. Compared with existing methods, this system has advantage of better accuracy that can detect the motion of object and advantage of shortening time that took to detect motion.

A thinning stage of fingerprint algorithm occupies 39% cycle of microprocessor system for identification processing of image from fingerprint sensor. Hardware block processing is more effective than software one in speed and power consumption, because a thinning algorithm is iteration of simple instructions without a transcendental function. This paper describes an effective hardware scheme for thinning stage processing using Verilog-HDL in $64{\times}64$ Pixel Array. The hardware scheme is designed and simulated in RTL. The logic is also synthesized by XST in FPGA environment and tested. Experimental results show the performance of the proposed scheme and possibility of application for a soft microprocessor and thinning processor embedded fingerprint SoC.

In holographic data storage systems, data is recorded and read by page on a volume of storage medium, and it can increase transmission rate and storage capacity because of two-dimensional page-oriented data processing by charge-coupled devices. However, HDS suffers two-dimensional intersymbol interference unlike conventional data storages. In this paper, we propose a preprocessing method of decreasing ISI before read data in HDS pass to detector. This method has some advantage when we collaborate with the preprocessing for reducing misalignment error and modulation code.

At the present time when the limits of the magnetic storage systems appear, the holographic data storage (HDS) devices with high data transfer rate and high recording density are emerging as attractive candidates for next-generation optical storage devices. In this paper, to effectively improve the detection performance that is degraded by the two-dimensional inter-symbol interference under the HDS channel environment and the pixel misalignment, an iterative two-dimensional equalization scheme is proposed based on the contraction mapping theorem. In order to evaluate the performance of the proposed scheme, for various holographic channel environments we measure the BER performance using computer simulation and compare the proposed one with the conventional threshold detection scheme, which verifies the superiority of the proposed scheme.

An edge is where the intensity of an image moves from a low value to high value or vice versa. The edges tell where objects are. their shape and size. and something about their texture. Many traditional edge operators are derivative based and perform reasonably well for simple noise-free images. In recent, statistical edge detectors for complex images with noises have been described. This paper compares and analysis the performance of statistical edge detectors based on the T test and Wilcoxon test, and mathematical edge detectors based on Sobel operator, and the well-known Canny detector and Wavelet transformation detector, and provides the implementation of these edge detectors using Java on the web.

Video Image Processing (VIP) for traffic surveillance has been used not only to gather traffic information, but also to detect traffic conflicts and incident conditions. This paper presents a system development of gathering traffic information and conflict detection based on automatic calculation of pixel length within the detection zone on a Video Detection System (VDS). This algorithm improves the accuracy of traffic information using the automatic detailed line segmentsin the detection zone. This system also can be applied for all types of intersections. The experiments have been conducted with CCTV images, installed at a Bundang intersection, and verified through comparison with a commercial VDS product.

Clustered microcalcifications on X-ray mammograms are an important sign for early detection of breast cancer. This paper proposes a computer-aided diagnosis method for the detection of clustered microcalcifications and marking their locations on digitized mammograms. The proposed detection method consists of the region of interest (ROI) selection, the film-artifact removal, the surrounding texture analysis method for the detection of clustered microcalcifications, which is based on the second-order histogram in two nested surrounding regions on the current pixel. This paper also describes the effectiveness of the proposed film-artifact removal filter in terms of the classification performance with the receiver operating-characteristics(ROC) analysis. A three-layer backpropagation neural network is employed as a classifier. The appropriate marking for the locations of clustered microcalcifications can be used to alert radiologists to locations of suspicious lesions.

KOMPSAT-5(KOrea Multi-Purpose SATellite-5) has a benefit of continuously conducting its mission in all weather and even night by loading SAR(Synthetic Aperture Radar) payload, which is different from optical sensor of KOMPSAT-2 satellite. During IOT(In-Orbit Test) periods, SAR image calibration should be conducted through ground target of which location and RCS is pre-determined. Differently from the conventional corner reflector, active transponder has a capability to change its internal transfer gain and delay, which allows active transponder to be shown in a pixel of SAR image with very high radiance and virtual location. In this paper, the development of active transponder is presented from design to I&T(Integration and Test).
