The characteristics of transform coefficients of discrete Gabor transform and the performances of their progressive coding are investiganted. The adaptive transform coding SAC is used for the progressive transmission. Exprerimental results show that although DGT has relatively low energy compaction property and coding efficiency, it yields good quality with greaty reduced block artifact and good edge at each stage of the progressive transmission.

A progressive image transmission (PIT) scheme based on the classified transform vector quantization (CVQ) technique using the lapped orthogonal transform (LOT) and human visual system (HVS) weighting is proposed in this paper. Conventional block transform coding of images using DCT produces in general undesirable block-artifacts at low bit rates. In this paper, image blocks are transformed using the LOT and classified into four classes based on their structural properties and further divided adaptively into subvectors depending on the LOT coefficient statistics with HVS weighting to improve the reconstructed image quality by adaptive bit allocation. The subvectors are vector quantized and transmitted progressively. Coding tests using computer simulations show that the LOT/CVQ based PIT of images is a effective coding scheme. The results are also compared with those obtained using PIT/DCTVQ. The LOT/CVQ based PIT reduces the block-artifacts significantly.

Video segmentation is a fundamental task in video indexing and it includes two kinds of shot change detections such as the abrupt transition and the gradual transition. The abrupt shot boundaries are detected by computing the image-based distance between adjacent frames and comparing this distance with a pre-determined threshold value. However, the gradual shot boundaries are difficult to detect with this approach. To overcome this difficulty, we propose the method that detects gradual transition in the MPEG compressed video using the HMM (Hidden Markov Model). We take two different HMMs such as a discrete HMM and a continuous HMM with a Gaussian mixture model. As image features for HMM's observations, we use two distinct features such as the difference of histogram of DC images between two adjacent frames and the difference of each individual macroblock's deviations at the corresponding macroblock's between two adjacent frames, where deviation means an arithmetic difference of each macroblock's DC value from the mean of DC values in the given frame. Furthermore, we obtain the DC sequences of P and B frame by the first order approximation for a fast and effective computation. Experiment results show that we obtain the best detection and classification performance of gradual transitions when a continuous HMM with one Gaussian model is taken and two image features are used together.

실리콘기반의 광전변환 소자는 소자공정의 편의성, 소자 신뢰성, 화학적 안정성, 그리고 저가경쟁력 등의 이점 때문에 수 십 년간 널리 연구되어 왔다. 그러나, 실리콘 재료의 경우 높은 굴절률로 인해 표면에서 높은 광 반사도를 가지고 있다. 일반적으로, 태양전지의 광전변환 효율은 빛이 서로 다른 유전율을 가진 계를 통과할 때 발생하는 계면반사로 인한 물리적인 한계를 가진다. Indium Tin Oxide (ITO)는 발광 다이오드, 태양전지, 그리고 광 검출기 등의 광소자에 적용하기 위해 수 년간 투명전도 산화막 재료로서 연구되어 왔다. ITO의 뛰어난 광학적, 전기적 특성은 높은 투과도와 낮은 전기 전도도를 요구하는 소자 응용에 대해 유망한 후보로 거듭나게 했다. 게다가, ITO의 굴절률은 대략 2정도이다. 그 결과, ITO는 반도체 기반 태양전지의 무반사 코팅 소재로서도 장점을 가지고 있다. 본 연구는 전자빔 증착법으로 경사입사 증착을 하여 실리콘 기반 태양전지에 증착될 ITO 박막의 굴절률을 조절한다. 여기서, 실리콘의 굴절률은 대략 3.5정도이다. 그러므로, 더 나은 광학적 특성을 가지기 위해 다층으로 올려진 ITO 박막이 점진적인 굴절률 변화를 가지는 것을 필요로 한다. 점진적 굴절률 변화를 가진 무반사 박막이 실리콘 태양전지의 특성에 미치는 영향을 평가하기 위해 광전변환 효율을 측정하였다. 증착된 박막의 굴절률과 표면형상은 각각 타원편광분석과 Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM)을 통해 분석되었다. 또한, 소자의 단면형상은 Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM)으로 측정되었다.

In this paper, we propose a new method to detect abrupt and gradual shot transitions of video data by using certainty factors. The abrupt transitions denotes cuts and the gradual transitions fade in, fade out, dissolve, horizontal wipes, vertical wipes, Barn Doors, and Iris Rounds. The suggested method first extracts representative features for each shot transition and determines corresponding shot transitions by integrating all the extracted features and inferring adequate transitions. To verify the performance of the proposed shot transition method, experimental results show that the suggested method can detect shot transitions more accurately than existing methods.

본 논문에서는 공간영역에서 수행한 영상의 영역분류와 웨이브렛 변환대역 사이의 상관 관계를 이용한 새로운 점진적 영상 부호화 전송기법을 제안한다. 제안한 방법은 원 영상을 $2^n{\times}2^n$ 블록으로 분할 한 뒤 각 블록의 표준편차에 따라 저주파수 영역, 중간주파수 영역, 고주파수 영역으로 분류하고 각 영역의 특성에 따른 부호화 방식을 적용하여 부호화 효율을 증가시켰다. 실험의 결과 제안한 부호화 전송기법은 EZW 방식에 비해 복원화질 및 전송 비트율에서 좋은 결과를 나타내었으며, 사용자의 요구조건과 응용분야에 따라 점진적 전송이 가능함을 확인하였다.

The EJB 3.0 specifications, which were improved in terms of performance and ease of development, were recently announced. Accordingly, for the EJB 3.0 application environment, developers generally prefer the gradual transformation of components whose performance must be improved to the complete transformation of all the EJB 2.1 components into EJB 3.0 components. Previous studies, however, did not consider the service of the application and did not ensure the compatibility and reusability of the components in the full replacement of EJB 3.0 due to the transformation using different specifications. This study proposed three transformation techniques that consider the service supported in the existing application, wherein the compatibility and reusability of the components are ensured in the case of the full replacement of EJB 3.0. The proposed transformation techniques are techniques for gradual transformation, such as direct transformation that directly connects components, indirect transformation that uses the EJB connector, and indirect template transformation wherein the template pattern is applied to the indirect transformation. The proposed transformation techniques were verified by comparing the reusability and processing capability of the components per second, and the standards for selecting a technique were provided based on the characteristics of the transformation into EJB 3.0 that were found in this study.

Generally, the existing watermarking techniques for copyright protection of a digital image are fragile in geometric distortion and all watermark extractions need the same time regardless of degree of distortion. In this paper, we propose the incremental watermarking technique that used a Complex Wavelet Transform(CWT) in order to solve these problems. The proposed incremental watermarking technique embeds a watermark in a phase component after a CWT with an original image, and a watermark is extracted from an watermarked image by stages. A watermark owner can insist on copyright of an image after comparing a correlation between the extracted watermark and the original watermark if it is larger than the threshold. Also, the incremental watermark extraction determines the extraction time of a watermark by the level of distortion. The proposed technique through performance evaluation displayed that it was robust in geometric distortion than the existing watermarking technique.
