In this paper, we propose a new hybrid speed function for image segmentation using level set. A new proposed speed function uses the region and boundary information of image object for the exact result of segmentation. The region information is defined by the probability information of pixel intensity in a ROI(region-of-interest), and the boundary information is defined by the gradient vector flow obtained from the gradient of image. We show the results of experiment for an various artificial image and real medical image to verify the accuracy of segmentation using proposed method.

본 논문에서는 동영상 내용 기반 검색을 위한 표준 인덱스인 color layout descriptor(CLD)에 기반한 새로운 장면전환검출 방법을 제안한다. 제안한 방법은 입력 영상을 $8{\times}8$ 블록으로 나누고, 그 블록을 대표하는 대표컬러를 선택하여 DCT 변환 후 추출된 DC, AC 계수에 가중치를 부여한 다음 슬라이딩 윈도우를 적용시켜 장면 전환을 검출한다. 이러한 방법은 영상의 전체적인 특성과 국부적인 특성을 동시에 반영하므로, 조명변화나 물체의 움직임에 민감했던 기존 대표적인 방법인 히스토그램 기반 방법과 에지 변화율을 이용한 방법들이 가지는 문제점을 보완할 수 있다. 또한 제안한 방법은 비디오 검색을 위한 MPEG-7 의 검색 서술자 중의 하나인 CLD를 이용하는데 이러한 CLD 는 컬러의 공간적 분포를 잘 설명하므로 MPEG-7 을 위한 검색 서술자에 적합한 장면전환검출 및 검색이 이루어질 수 있다. 제안한 방법을 실험한 결과 기존의 방법보다 장면전환 검출율이 높게 나타났다.

A postprocessing method for blocking artifact reduction in block coded images is presented. The proposed method consists of classification, adaptive inter-block filtering, and intra-block filtering. First, each block is classified as one of seven classes according to the characteristics of 8x8 DCT coefficients. Then each block boundary is faltered by adaptive inter-block filters, which use the block classes. Finally to the blocks which are classified as edge block classes, intra-block filtering is performed. Experimental tests produced that the proposed method gives better results than the convectional methods from both a subjective and an objective viewpoint.

This paper presents a watermarking scheme based on the perspective distance for the secure mash-up service. The proposed scheme embeds the watermark of the location information of satellite image and the user information using edge color histogram, which is dissimilar to general digital image. Therefore, this scheme can trace the illegal distributor and can protect private information of user through the watermarking scheme that is adaptive to satellite image. Experimental results verified that our scheme has the invisibility and also the robustness against geometric attacks of rotation and translation.

Effective monitoring and maintenance operation of towers, power lines and other defects to ensure high quality and reliability of electric power supplied to customers is becoming one of the most important tasks of today's power industry. One specific technology that has the potential to automate the entire surveillance process is unmanned aerial vehicles. In this paper, we propose a new power line extraction method using the directivity of a power line and Hough transform to detect efficiently power lines from thermal aerial images. In simulation results for several aerial images, the proposed method shows good performance in extracting power line detection.

This paper describes an image processing algorithm capable of recognizing the road lane using a CDF (Cumulative Distribution Function). which is designed for the model function of the road lane. The CDF has distinctive peak points at the vicinity of the lane direction because of the directional and positional continuities of the lane. We construct a scatter diagram by collecting the edge pixels with the direction corresponding to the peak point of the CDF and carry out the principal axis-based line fitting for the scatter diagram to obtain the lane information. As noises play the role of making a lot of similar features to the lane appear and disappear in the image we introduce a recursive estimator of the function to reduce the noise effect and a scene understanding index (SUI) formulated by statistical parameters of the CDF to prevent a false alarm or miss detection. The proposed algorithm has been implemented in a real time on the video data obtained from a test vehicle driven in a typical highway.

A novel characteristic value extraction method based on mathematical morphology is proposed. Morphological spatial frequency defined by morphological pattern distribution function is introduced and applied to define a new feature called ‘average height.' The average height is used to define a characteristic value which is to be used to generate an index key value for content-based image retrieval. Superiority of the method was proved for various images by experiment. Furthermore the fact that the proposed method does not need threshold to obtain binary image provides its applicability to content-based image retrieval.

In this paper, a rectangular ring microstrip patch antenna has been analyzed by using desegmentation method and evaluation impedance matrices from Green's functions fur rectangular segment and desegmentation method for analysis of planar electro-magnetic structures is discussed. As the rectangular ring cavity could be seen as a structure subtracted a small rectangular cavity from a large one, the overall impedance matrix was obtained by applying a multiport connection method to the individual impedance matrices expressed as a term of Green's function fer rectangular segment. The electromagnetic fields can be solved from a vector potential which is satisfied it's eight boundary conditions. The electric field distribution at each edges was expressed as a histogram table with exciting modes. These results can be used to analyze the operational modes for a rectangular ring microstrip antennas.

Noise in image processing has a direct effect on the quality of the image, and adversely affects the processing of the system including algorithms such as image segmentation, edge detection, and image recognition. Therefore, noise reduction plays an important role in the preprocessing process. In this paper, we propose an efficient algorithm to remove noise in high density of Salt and Pepper noise. The proposed algorithm removes noise by gradually expanding the filtering mask according to the density of the noise, and shows excellent noise cancellation performance even in a high density region. In order to evaluate the performance of the proposed algorithm, we compared and analyzed the existing method and the proposed algorithm through simulation.

In this paper, we studied a light distribution for the LED chips arrangement using an optical design software. The structures of the edge type LED luminaires are reflector plane, LGP(lighting guide plane) and diffuse plane. The reflector plane is on the middle of the overall structure. We had simulation that placing LED chips on the reflector center of the reflector edge by changing the position of LED chips above the reflector center at 1mm, 2mm, and 3mm respectively. In the case, when LED chips are on the center of the reflector, it shows the light distribution of the general diffuse illumination, the semi-direct distribution with 0.56 efficiency and the direct distribution with 0.31 efficiency. And the wedge type LGP shows more efficiency than the flat type. Gradually increasing shape of semi-spherical type by 0.015mm has power of 1.02W, efficiency of 0.25, and maximum luminous intensity of 0.104W/sr, it also and shows the better optical characteristics than the reflector plane that have no patterns. This semi-spherical type shows the better optical characteristics than the reflector plane that have no patterns.
