Various multimedia systems have been developed and their application areas widely proliferate. Thus, the interoperability is getting important among various networks and devices. The video transcoding is a technology to solve this interoperability problem among various coding standards. Transcoding can be defined as the conversion of one compressed coded data to another. In this paper, MPEG-2 to MPEG-4 transcoder in the spatial domain is compared with that in the DCT domain. The transcoder is very useful when a video sequence that is originally encoded for digital TV, DVD or satellite broadcasting is served in mobile environment. In order to compare two transcoders, all modules except motion compensation and down sampling are implemented identically. In addition, both transcoders do not search for motion vector. Instead, the decoded information is reused to the encoder. The experimental results show that the transcoder in the spatial domain is usually better than that in the DCT domain with respect to PSNR (Peak Signal-to-Noise Ratio), bitrate and execution time.

Accurate segmentation of histopathology whole slide images (WSIs) is a crucial task for disease diagnosis and treatment planning. However, conventional automated segmentation algorithms may not always be applicable to WSI segmentation due to their large size and variations in tissue appearance, staining, and imaging conditions. Recent advances in interactive segmentation, which combines human expertise with algorithms, have shown promise to improve efficiency and accuracy in WSI segmentation but also presented us with challenging issues. In this paper, we propose a novel interactive segmentation method, ZoomISEG, that leverages multi-resolution WSIs. We demonstrate the efficacy and performance of the proposed method via comparison with conventional single-scale methods and an ablation study. The results confirm that the proposed method can reduce human interaction while achieving accuracy comparable to that of the brute-force approach using the highest-resolution data.

It is important to develop a digital SOC (Social Overhead Capital) maintenance system for preemptive maintenance in response to the rapid aging of social infrastructures. Abnormal signals induced from structures can be detected quickly and optimal decisions can be made promptly using IoT sensors deployed on the structures. In this study, a digital SOC monitoring system incorporating a multimetric IoT sensor was developed for long-term monitoring, for use in cloud-computing server for automated and powerful data analysis, and for establishing databases to perform : (1) multimetric sensing, (2) long-term operation, and (3) LTE-based direct communication. The developed sensor had three axes of acceleration, and five axes of strain sensing channels for multimetric sensing, and had an event-driven power management system that activated the sensors only when vibration exceeded a predetermined limit, or the timer was triggered. The power management system could reduce power consumption, and an additional solar panel charging could enable long-term operation. Data from the sensors were transmitted to the server in real-time via low-power LTE-CAT M1 communication, which does not require an additional gateway device. Furthermore, the cloud server was developed to receive multi-variable data from the sensor, and perform a displacement fusion algorithm to obtain reference-free structural displacement for ambient structural assessment. The proposed digital SOC system was experimentally validated on a steel railroad and concrete girder bridge.

다목적 대형 댐의 건설로 수몰된 과거의 삶의 공간을 20년이 지나서 다시 복원한다는 것은 그곳에 살던 실향민 등에게는 참으로 반가운 소식이다. 본 연구에서는 1980년대 초에 완공된 충주댐으로 인하여 물 속에 잠긴 청풍지구를 수몰이전의 입체 지형 공간적으로 원형복원하기 위한 원격탐사 기법을 적용한 것이다. 비교적 해상도가 좋은 인공위성 사진자료와 댐 수몰이전의 디지털 위성영상 데이터를 수집하고, 수몰직전에 제작된 지형도를 이용하여 위성영상자료의 통합 적용하여 수몰직전의 지형공간정보를 현재시간으로 영상 복원하기 위하여 원격탐사 기법을 적용한 것이다 이를 위하여 지형도에서 추출한 등고선과 현재의 등고선과의 접목을 통하여 청풍 주변지역을 중심으로 당시의 수치표고모형을 생성하였다. 또한 이를 입체적으로 보여주기 위한 투시조감도를 각 방향에서 생성함으로서 수몰이전의 아름다운 모습을 3차원적으로 영상복원 하였다. 또한 좀더 가까이서 수몰마을을 보기 위한 근접비행시뮬레이션 동영상을 제작하여 과거 기억 속의 고향을 영상에서 찾아볼 수 있도록 한 것이다.

In this paper, we present a new interpolation scheme for image enhancement using fuzzy inference. In general, interpolation techniques are based on linear operators which are essentially lowpass filters, hence, they tend to blur fine details in the original image. In our approach, the operator itself balances the strength of its sharpening and noise suppressing components according to the Properties of the input image data.

물체가 지닌 3차원 정보를 가장 완벽하게 복원해 내는 디스플레이 기술인 홀로그램은 오랜 기간 사진과 같은 형태의 정지상 영상으로만 재현이 되었으나, 최근 급격하게 발전한 5G 수준의 데이터 통신기술과 초고해상도 디스플레이 기술의 발달로 동영상 재생이 가능한 수준에 다다르고 있다. 디지털 홀로그램 기술을 통해 만들어진 computer generated hologram 패턴을 실제 광학적으로 송출해 내는 디스플레이 장치라 할 수 있는 Spatial Light Modulator(SLM)은 최근 LCoS, DMD 등 다양한 방식으로 구현되고 있으나, 아직까지 구동 면적의 크기 및 픽셀 간격의 측면에서 아날로그 홀로그램과 비슷한 수준의 영상을 구현하기에는 다소 어려움이 있는 것이 사실이다. 이에 본 고에서는 다양한 방식으로 접근되고 있는 기존 SLM의 성능 분석 및 차세대 SLM 기술 동향을 소개하고 SLM의 성능 개선 없이도 홀로그램 영상의 화질 수준을 개선할 수 있는 다양한 기술들에 대해 소개하고자 한다.

This study aimed to provide a solution for improving ship collision alert of the 'accident vulnerable ship monitoring service' among the 'intelligent marine traffic information system' services of the Ministry of Oceans and Fisheries. The current ship collision alert uses a supervised learning (SL) model with survey labels based on large ship-oriented data and its operators. Consequently, the small ship data and the operator's opinion are not reflected in the current collision-supervised learning model, and the effect is insufficient because the alarm is provided from a longer distance than the small ship operator feels. In addition, the supervised learning (SL) method requires a large number of labeled data, and the labeling process requires a lot of resources and time. To overcome these limitations, in this paper, the classification model of collision alerts for small ships using unlabeled data with the semi-supervised learning (SSL) algorithms (Label Propagation and TabNet) was studied. Results of real-time experiments on small ship operators using the classification model of collision alerts showed that the satisfaction of operators increased.

High speed implementation of digital filters is required in high data rate applications such as hard-wired wide band modem and high resolution video codec. Since the critical path of the digital filter is the MAC (multiplication and accumulation) circuit, the filter coefficient with sparse non-zero bits enables high speed implementation with adders of low hardware cost. Compressive sensing has been reported to be very successful in sparse representation and sparse signal recovery. In this paper a filter design method for digital FIR filters with CSD (canonic signed digit) coefficients using compressive sensing technique is proposed. The sparse non-zero signed bits are selected in the greedy fashion while pruning the mistakenly selected digits. A few design examples show that the proposed method can be utilized for designing sparse CSD coefficient digital FIR filters approximating the desired frequency response.
