This paper proposes a lossless image compression method based on arithmetic coding using block-adaptive Context Tree Weighting. The CTW method predicts and compresses the input data bit by bit. Also, it can achieve a desirable coding distribution for tree sources with an unknown model and unknown parameters. This paper suggests the method to enhance the compression rate about image data, especially aerial and satellite images that require lossless compression. The value of aerial and satellite images is significant. Also, the size of their images is huger than common images. But, existed methods have difficulties to compress these data. For these reasons, this paper shows the experiment to prove a higher compression rate when using the CTW method with divided images than when using the same method with non-divided images. The experimental results indicate that the proposed method is more effective when compressing the divided images.

In this paper, we proposed an image shaking index to evaluate the remote controllability of vision based unmanned vehicles. To analyze the usefulness of the proposed image-shaking index, we perform subjective tests using a virtual unmanned vehicle driving simulator. The developed driving simulator consists of a real-time multibody dynamic software of the unmanned vehicle, a motion simulator, and a driver console. We perform dynamic simulations to obtain the motion of the unmanned vehicle running on the various road surfaces such as ISO roughness level A~E roads. The motion of the vehicle body is reflected in the motion simulator. Then, to enable remote control operation, we offer to operators the image data that was measured using the camera sensor on the simulator. We verify the usefulness of the proposed image-shaking index compared with subjective index provided by operators.

There are many methods for surveying the status of a road, and the use of unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) photo is one such method. When the UAV images are too large to be processed and suspected to be redundant, a texture extraction technique is used to transform the data into a reduced set of feature representations. This is an important task in 3D simulation using UAV images because a huge amount of data can be inputted. This paper presents a texture extraction method from UAV images to obtain high-resolution images of bridges. The proposed method is in three steps: firstly, we use the 3D bridge model from the V-World database; secondly, textures are extracted from oriented UAV images; and finally, the extracted textures from each image are blended. The result of our study can be used to update V-World textures to a high-resolution image.

In this paper, we proposed a new lossless image compression algorithm. Lossless image compression has been used in the field that requires the accuracy and precision. Thus, application areas using medical unaging, prepress unaging, image archival systems, precious artworks to be preserved, and remotely sensed images require lossless compression. The compression ratio from lossless image compression has not been satisfactory, thus far. So, new method of lossless image compression has been investigated to get better compression efficiency. We have compared the compression results with the most typical compression methods such as CALIC and JPEG-LS. CALIC has shown the best compression-ratio among the existing lossless coding methods at the cost of the extensive complexity by three pass algorithm. On the other hand, JPEG-LS's compression-ratio is not higher than CALIC, but was adopted as an international standard of ISO because of the low complexity and fast coding process. In the proposed method, we adopted an adaptive predictor that can exploit the characteristics of individual images, and an adaptive arithmetic coding with multiple probability models. As a result, the proposed algorithm showed 5％ improvement in compression efficiency in comparison with JPEG-LS and showed comparable compression ratio with CALIC.

Recently, UAVs (Unmanned Aerial Vehicles) are expected much as the Unmanned Systems for various missions. These missions are often based on the Vision System. Especially, missions such as surveillance and pursuit have a process which is carried on through the transmitted vision data from the UAV. In case of small UAVs, monocular vision is often used to consider weights and expenses. Research of missions performance using the monocular vision is continued but, actually, ground and target model have difference in distance from the UAV. So, 3D distance measurement is still incorrect. In this study, Mean-Shift Algorithm, Optical Flow and Subspace Method are posed to estimate the relative depth. Mean-Shift Algorithm is used for target tracking and determining Region of Interest (ROI). Optical Flow includes image motion information using pixel intensity. After that, Subspace Method computes the translation and rotation of image and estimates the relative depth. Finally, we present the results of this study using images obtained from the UAV experiments.

최근에 새로운 텍스트 압축방법인 BWT(Burrows and Wheeler transformation)가 소개되었다. 이 변환은 우수한 텍스트 압축성능을 가지지만 텍스트와 영상의 다른 성질로 인해 영상에 직접 적용될 때 그다지 우수한 압축성능을 기대할 수 없다. 본 논문에서는L-SSKF(Lossless Symmetric Short Kernel Filter)를 사용하여 영상을 대역분할한 후에 BWT를 수행하여 무손실이면서 우수한 압축성능을 가지는 무손실 영상압축방법을 제안한다. 또한 압축성능의 향상을 위해 두과정의 중간에 화소예측방법인GAP(Gradient Adjusted Prediction)를 적용하여 성능개선을 비교하였다.
