본 논문에서는 HVS(human visual system)의 특성을 고려한 새로운 스케일러블 코딩방법을 제안한다. 제안된 방법은 먼저 영상 내에서 관심영역(saliency map)을 찾고 관심영역을 제외한 부분에 에지 보존 필터를 적용한다. 그 영상은 정해진 양자 파라미터 값으로 인코딩 되어 제안된 코딩 시스템의 베이스 층(base layer)이 된다. 기존 스케일러블 코딩 표준에서의 베이스 층과 다르게 본 논문의 베이스 층은 관심 있는 중요영역(foreground)을 보존하고 또한 배경(background)의 에지 성분도 보존한다. 기본 층이 전송되면 개선층(enhancement layer)은 원 영상과 복원된 베이스 층 영상간의 차분 영상에서 관심영역 순으로 보내진다. 실험은 HEVC 를 바탕으로 수행되었고 스케일러블 코딩 표준인 SHVC 와 관심영역에서 비교를 했을 때 제안된 알고리즘이 더 높은 PSNR 을 가지는 것을 확인하였다. 또한 전체적으로 지각적인 품질(perceptual quality) 또한 향상되었음을 확인하였다.

To reduce the effect of color distortions on reading colors, it is more desirable to statistically process as many pixels in the individual color region as possible. This process may require segmentation, which usually requires edge detection. However, edges in color codes can be disconnected due to various distortions such as dark current, color cross, zipper effect, shade and reflection, to name a few. Edge linking is also a difficult process. In this paper, k-means clustering was performed on the images where edge detectors failed segmentation. Experiments were conducted on 311 images taken in different environments with different cameras. The primary and secondary colors were randomly selected for each color code region. While segmentation rate by edge detectors was 89.4%, the proposed method increased it to 99.4%. Color recognition was performed based on hue, a*, and b* components, with the accuracy of 100% for the successfully segmented cases.

In the modern society, the images provide the most effective information in multi-devices and the edge includes important feature information in such images. This edge is used as an essential preconditioning process in several application fields and many studies have been carried out in order to obtain the excellent images. The methods of Sobel and Roberts which are generally known are simple to implement the images but bring more or less insufficient processing result. Thus, this paper proposed an edge detection algorithm using the area averaging of segmented mask in order to supplement the problems of the current methods and compared it with such current methods.

In this paper, we proposed stereo matching algorithm by dynamic programming with edges emphasized. Existing algorithms show blur generally at depth discontinuities owing to smoothness constraint and non-existence of matching pixel in occlusion regions. Also it accompanies matching error by lackness of matching information in the untextured regions. This paper defines new cost function to make up for the problems occurred to existing algorithms. It is possible through deriving matching of edges in left and right images to be carried out between edge regions anf deriving that in the other regions to be peformed between the other regions. In case of the possibility that edges can be Produced in a large amount, matching between edge information adds weight to cost function in proportion to Path distance. Proposed algorithm was applied to various images obtained by convergent camera model as well as parallel camera model. As the result, proposed algorithm showed improved performance in the aspect of matching error and processing in the occlusion regions compared to existing algorithms. Also it could improve blur especially in discontinuity regions.

This study proposes a method for segmentation and recognition of traffic signs using shape information and edge image in real image. It first segments traffic sign candidate regions by connected component algorithm from binary images, obtained by utilizing the RGB color ratio of each pixel in the image, and then extracts actual traffic signs based on their symmetries on X- and Y-axes. Histogram equalization is performed for unsegmented candidate regions caused by low contrast in the image. In the recognition stage, it utilizes shape information including projection profiles on X- and Y-axes, moment, and the number of crossings and distance which concentric circular patterns and 8-directional rays from region center intersects with edges of traffic signs. It finally performs recognition by measuring similarity with the templates in the database. It will be shown from several experimental results that the system is robust to environmental factors, such as light and weather condition.

In this study, we propose a revised dynamic ROI (Region-of-Interest) coding method in which the focused ROI is automatically extracted without help from users during the recovery process of low DOF (Depth-of-Field) JPEG2000 image. The proposed method creates edge mask information using high frequency sub-band data on a specific level in DWT (Discrete Wavelet Transform), and then identifies the edge code block for a high-speed ROI extraction. The algorithm scans the edge mask data in four directions by the unit of code block and identifies the edge code block simply and fastly using a edge threshold. As the results of experimentation applying for Implicit method, the proposed method showed the superiority in the side of speed and quality comparing to the existing methods.

This paper proposes a new deinterlacing algorithm which improves the performance of the spatial filter. Extracting exact edges is very important element of deinterlacing performance. So the proposed algorithm has interpolated locally adaptive-thresholded binary image, and extracted exact edges from the interpolated binary image. The values of pixels on edges extracted from binary image are interpolated using neighborhood lines on the same edge. With computer simulations for a variety of images, it is shown that the proposed algorithm is much better than traditional methods.

본 논문에서는 장폐색 영역을 추출하는 방법을 제안한다. 제안된 방법은 Canny Edge Detector을 이용하여 X-ray 영상에서 객체들의 에지를 추출한다. 검출된 객체 에지들에서 장폐색의 영역이 형태학적으로 수평적으로 평평하다는 특징을 이용하기 위해서 Hough transform을 적용하여 수평적으로 평평한 영역을 가진 객체들을 추출하고, 추출된 객체들을 장폐색 영역으로 검출한다. 제안된 추출 방법을 25개의 장폐색 X-ray 영상을 대상으로 실험한 결과, 제안된 방법에서는 19개 대장 장폐색 영상에서는 모두 추출되었으나 6개의 소장 장폐색 영상에서는 추출에 실패하였다.
