In this paper, a new saliency map generation method is discussed which extracts objects effectively using extracted Salient Region. Feature map is constructed first using four features of edge, hue of HSV color model, focus and entropy and then conspicuity map is generated from Center Surround Differences using the feature map. Final saliency map is constructed by the combination of conspicuity maps. Saliency map generated using this procedure is compared to the conventional technique and confirmed that new technique has better results.

The pulsed-delayed extraction (PDE) in linear time-of-flight mass spectrometer(TOF MS) is characterized on the enhancement of resolution, mass-depth of focus and effect of instrumentahan 2000. The ion signals separate isotopically by up to molecular weight of 2500 in instrumental broadening of 5 ns, which is a good agreement with calculation. The fragmentation paths of PPG can be sug-gested by the isotopica distributions of fragment series produced when PPG desorbed from graphite surface.

In this paper, we propose an auto-focusing algorithm which extracts a depth parameter by analyzing a selected part of a hologram, and we use experimental results to show that the algorithm is practical. First, we record a complex hologram using Optical Scanning Holography. Next we select some part of hologram and extract depth information through Gaussian low pass filtering, synthesizing a real-only hologram, power fringe-adjusted filtering and inverting to a new frequency axis. Finally, we reconstruct the hologram automatically using the extracted depth location.

영역의 수와 윤곽선의 길이는 세그멘테이션 기반의 움직임 보상된 비디오 코딩에서 두 가지의 기본적인 제약사항이다. 이 논문에서 제안하는 코딩 스킴은 영역의 수를 축소하는 것에 초점을 맞추고, 윤곽성 코딩, 그리고 치환된 프레임 차이(DFD)의 압축에 초점을 맞춘다. 제안된 스킴의 가장 중요한 특징 중의 하나는 형태적인 필터를 기반으로 하는 spatio-temporal 단순성 알고리즘이고, 그것들과 함께 이미지는 작은 수의 영역으로 나누어질 수 있다. 이 스킴의 매우 중요한 특성은 세그멘테이션 맵 샘플링 기법으로, 그것은 윤곽선 길이를 매우 작은 복원 에러에 비례하여 약 50%까지 줄인다. 실험적인 결과는, 높은 압축 비율에 대하여 매우 작은 코딩 에러를 보여주었다.

This paper investigates the nature of the discourse domain involved with focus sentences. The major theories of focus including Roothian Alternative Semantics are critically reviewed: Alternative Semantics takes a contradictory attitude toward the truth conditional aspect of free focus. The truth conditional differences are treated as a pragmatic inference, while they are captured by the semantic mechanism, that is, the alternative sets generated by focus constructions. In addition, the alternative sets are ad hoc since they are generated only for focus constructions. This paper attempts to show that the alternative sets introduced by foci in the framework of Alternative Semantics are neither necessary nor sufficient for an analysis of focus. It is argued that the domain sets simply provided by the model itself suffices for a proper analysis of focus constructions.

Blur variation caused by camera de-focusing provides a proper cue for depth estimation. Depth from Defocus (DFD) technique calculates the blur amount present in an image considering that blur amount is directly related to scene depth. Conventional DFD methods use two defocused images that might yield the low quality of an estimated depth map as well as a reconstructed infocused image. To solve this, a new DFD methodology based on infocused and defocused images is proposed in this paper. In the proposed method, the outcome of Subbaro's DFD is combined with a novel edge blur estimation method so that improved blur estimation can be achieved. In addition, a saliency map mitigates the ill-posed problem of blur estimation in the region with low intensity variation. For validating the feasibility of the proposed method, twenty image sets of infocused and defocused images with 2K FHD resolution were acquired from a camera with a focus control in the experiments. 3D stereoscopic image generated by an estimated depth map and an input infocused image could deliver the satisfactory 3D perception in terms of spatial depth perception of scene objects.

In this paper, we proposed a face detection algorithm and a hardware implementation method for ROI(Region Of Interest) of AF(Auto Focusing). We used face features in skin regions of YCbCr color space for face detection. The face features are the number of skin pixels in face regions, edge pixels in eye regions, and shadow pixels in lip regions. The each feature was statistically selected by 2,000 sample pictures of face. The proposed algorithm detects two faces that are closer center of the image for considering the effectiveness of hardware resource. The detected faces are displayed by rectangle for ROI of AF, and the rectangles are represented by positions in the image about starting point and ending point of the rectangles. The proposed face detection method was verified by using FPGA boards and mobile phone camera sensor.

비디오객체 추출 기법은 MPEG-4 및 MPEG-7의 응용을 목표로 최근 활발하게 연구되고 있다. 이들 연구는 객체 추출의 전체적인 구조와 정확한 윤곽선 검출 알고리즘의 개발에 초점을 맞추고 있으며 제한적인 조건하에서 만족할 만한 성능을 내고 있다 그러나, 카메라 움직임, 객체의 빠른 움직임, 비강체 운동 등 보다 일반적인 상황에서는 객체 추출의 안정성이 떨어진다. 본 논문에서는 객체 추출의 안정성을 높이기 위해 칼라, 움직임 정보 등의 특징정보(feature)가 균일한 영역으로 사전분할하고, 분할된 균일영역을 추적하는 알고리즘을 제안한다. 추적된 균일 영역간의 경계는 각 영역의 통계적 분포와 영역경계의 윤곽선으로 정의된 에너지를 레벨셑 방법으로 최소화함으로 조정된다.

In this paper, we propose the methods to select the stable region for the detect region which is required in the system used the face to the ROI in the auto-focus digital camera. this method regards the face region as the ROI in the progressive input frame and focusing the region in the mobile camera embeded ISP module automatically. The learning algorithm to detect the face is the Adaboost algorithm. we proposed the method to detect the slanted face not participate in the train process and postprocessing method for the results of detection, and then we proposed the stabilization method to sustain the region not shake for the region. we estimated the capability for the stabilization algorithm using the RMS between the trajectory and regression curve.

In this paper, we propose methods to improve image-based auto-focus that can compensate for drawbacks of traditional auto-focus control. When adjusting the focus, there is a problem that the focus window cannot be set to the same position if the camera's LOS is not directed at the same location and flow or shake. To address this issue, we applied image tracking techniques to improve optimal focus localization accuracy. And also, although the same focus value should be calculated at the same focus step, but different values can be calculated by camera's fine shaking or image disturbance due to atmospheric scattering. To tackle this problem a SAFS (Stable Adjacency Frame Selection) has been proposed. As a result of this study, our proposed methodology shows more accurate than traditional methods in terms of finding best focus position.
