Denoising and reconstruction of color images are extensively studied in the field of computer vision and image processing. Especially, denoising and reconstruction of color face images are more difficult than those of natural images because of the structural characteristics of human faces as well as the subtleties of color interactions. In this paper, we propose a denoising method based on PCA reconstruction for removing complex color noise on human faces, which is not easy to remove by using vectorial color filters. The proposed method is composed of the following five steps: training of canonical eigenface space using PCA, automatic extraction of facial features using active appearance model, relishing of reconstructed color image using bilateral filter, extraction of noise regions using the variance of training data, and reconstruction using partial information of input images (except the noise regions) and blending of the reconstructed image with the original image. Experimental results show that the proposed denoising method maintains the structural characteristics of input faces, while efficiently removing complex color noise.

Recently, research using unstructured data such as images and videos has been actively conducted in various fields. Edge detection is one of the most useful image enhancement techniques to improve the quality of the image process. However, it is very difficult to perform edge detection in noise images because the edges and noise having high frequency components. This paper uses a linear model and standard deviation as an effective edge detection method for noise images. The edge is detected by the difference between the standard deviation of the pixels included in the pixel block and the standard deviation of the residual obtained by fitting the linear model. The results of edge detection are compared with the results of the Sobel edge detector. In the original image, the Sobel edge detection result and the proposed edge detection result are similar. Proposed method was confirmed that the edge with reduced noise was detected in the various levels of noise images.

본 연구에서는 고정된 카메라로부터 입력되는 영상열에서 이동 물체를 신뢰성있게 분리하기 위해 형태 정보를 이용한 확장 방법을 제안한다. 영역 분리의 핵심은 배경으로부터 주위 잡음 영역과 무관하게 이동 물체 영역을 분리하는 기술이라고 볼 수 있다. 제안된 방법은 초기 이동 물체가 존재하지 않는 영상을 참고 영상(reference image)으로 하여 입력 영상(input image)과의 차영상(subtraction image)을 구하고, 차영상의 히스토그램(histogram)에서 배경잡음 모델링(modeling)을 통해 배경잡음을 제거한다. 그리고 배경잡음이 제거된 차영상에서 국부 최대값들(local maxima)을 이용해 후보 초기 영역을 선정한 후, 이 영역을 기반으로 영역의 형태정보를 이용하여 영역을 선별적으로 확장하면서 결합하는 방법을 사용하였다. 제안된 방법을 실제 상황에서 얻은 다양한 영상열에 적용한 결과, 기존의 영역 분리 방법보다 주위 잡음과 무관하게 이동 물체를 분리할 수 있음을 확인할 수 있었다.

This paper proposed a new algorithm for binarization and removal of noises in color images with characters and pictures. Binarization was performed by threshold which had computed with color-relationship relative to the number of pixel in background and character candidates and pre-threshold for dividing of background and character candidates in input images. The pre-threshold has been computed by the histogram of R, G, B In respect of the images, while background and character candidates of input images are divided by the above pre-threshold. As it is possible that threshold can be dynamically decided by the quantity of the noises, and the character images are maintained and the noises are removed to the maximum. And, in this study, we made the noise pattern table as a result of analysis in noise pattern included in the various color images aiming at removal of the noises from the Images. Noises included in the images can figure out Distribution by way of the noise pattern table and pattern matching itself. And then this Distribution classified difficulty of noises included in the images into the three categories. As removal of noises in the images is processed through different procedure according to the its classified difficulties, time required for process was reduced and efficiency of noise removal was improved. As a result of recognition experiments in respect of extracted characters in color images by way of the proposed algorithm, we conformed that the proposed algorithm is useful in a sense that it obtained the recognition rate in general documents without colors and pictures to the same level.

Digital image processing is utilized in various application fields by rapid development of memory cell. However, the noise occurs with various causes in the process of data processing process and various methods have been studied in order to remove such noises. In general, the image is damaged by the mixed noise which has different characteristics each other. This paper proposed a filter algorithm which processes the data according to shape of noise in order to mitigate the impact of the mixed noise added to the image. In addition, this paper compared this filter algorithm with the current methods and used PSNR(peak signal to noise ratio) as a criterion of judgment.

For 4th industrial revolution and the development of various communication media, unmanned and automation are rapidly progressing in various fields. In particular, high-level image processing technology is required in fields such as smart factories, autonomous driving technology, and intelligent CCTV. Accordingly, the importance of preprocessing in a system operating based on an image is increasing, and an algorithm for effectively removing noise from an image is attracting attention. In this paper, we propose a filtering algorithm using noise judgment and a segmentation mask in a complex noise environment. The proposed algorithm calculates the final output by switching the segmentation mask suitable for filtering by performing noise judgment on the pixel values of the input image. Simulation was conducted to verify the performance of the proposed algorithm, and the result image was compared and evaluated with the existing filter algorithm.

최근 센서네트워크와 같은 에너지 제한 환경을 위한 경량화 부호화 기술의 필요성이 대두됨에 따라 분산 소스 부호화 기술(Distributed Source Coding)의 응용기술로 비디오 부호화 복잡도의 대부분을 차지하는 움직임 예측/보상과정을 부호화기가 아닌 복호화기에서 수행하는 분산 비디오 부호화 기술(Distributed Video Coding)에 대한 연구가 활발히 이루어져 왔다. 이에 가장 대표적인 기술인 Wyner-Ziv 코딩 기술은 채널 코드를 이용하여 원본 프레임과 이에 대한 복호화기의 예측영상인 보조정보 사이의 잡음을 제거하여 영상을 복원한다. 일반적으로 보조정보는 원본영상에 유사한 키 프레임간의 프레임 보간을 통하여 생성되며 채널 코드는 Shannon limit에 근접한 성능을 보이는 Turbo 코드나 LDPC 코드가 사용된다. 이와 같은 채널 코드의 복호화는 채널 잡음 모델에 기반하여 수행되어지며 Wyner-Ziv 코딩 기술에서는 이 채널 잡음 모델을 '상관 잡음 모델' (Correlation Noise Modeling)이라 하고 일반적으로 Laplacian이나 Gaussian으로 모델화 한다. 하지만 복호화기에는 원본 영상에 대한 정보가 없기 때문에 정확한 상관 잡음 모델을 알 수 없으며 잡음 모델에 대한 예측의 부정확성은 잡음 제거를 위한 패리티 비트의 증가를 야기해 부호화 기술의 압축 성능 저하를 가져온다. 이에 본 논문은 원본 프레임과 보조정보 사이의 잡음을 정확하게 예측하여 잡음을 정정할 수 있는 향상된 상관 잡음 모델을 제안한다. 제안 방법은 잘못된 잡음 예측에 의해 Laplacian 계수가 너무 커지는 것을 방지하면서 영상내의 잡음의 유무에 별다른 영향을 받지 않는 새로운 문턱값을 사용한다. 다양한 영상에 대한 제안 방법의 실험 결과는 평균적으로 약 0.35dB에 해당하는 율-왜곡 성능 향상을 보여주었다.
