본 논문에서는 거리영상과 발기영상의 fusion을 이용한 영상분할을 제안한다. Bayes 이론을 기반으로 하여 Markov random field (MRF)로 선험적인 정보를 모델링한다. 거리영상과 밝기영상에서 추출한 특징을 이용하여 maximum a posteriori (MAP) 추정기를 구성한다. 거리영상에서 물체는 국부적인 평면으로 근사되어 각 점마다 평면 계수를 추정해 계수 공간을 구성한다. 밝기영상에서는 ${\alpha}$ 트림드 (${\alpha}$-trimmed) 분산이 밝기특성을 구성한다. 각 공간상의 특징을 에지에 대한 likelihood를 설정하여 구성된 MAP 추정기를 최적화함으로써 영상을 분할한다. 모의실험을 통해 제안된 구조가 그림자, 잡음 그리고 광원의 blurring에 관계없이 영상을 잘 분할한 것을 보였다.

To be able to show moving images without visual problems like blurring and tailing, the response time of liquid crystal display (LCDs) must be improved. In this paper we will discuss our progress in improving the response time by optimizing the cell configuration and the use of new liquid crystal mixtures. A 20.1inch diagonal UXGA IPS TFT-LCD has been developed having a response time as fast as l-frame time (16msec) for white-black operation and less than 16msec in all gray levels without applying ODC (Over Driving Circuit). This is very important because one of the technology to reduce motion blurring, the use of scanning backlight is conditioned by 16msec for all grays. The excellent gray-to-gray response can be explained by virtue of fundamental characteristics of S-IPS mode and makes a good contrast with the results of VA mode.

Due to the block-based discrete cosine transform (BDCT), JPEG compressed images usually exhibit blocking artifacts. When the bit rates are very low, blocking artifacts will seriously affect the image's visual quality. A bilateral filter has the features for edge-preserving when it smooths images, so we propose an adaptive-weighted bilateral filter based on the features. In this paper, an image-deblocking scheme using this kind of adaptive-weighted bilateral filter is proposed to remove and reduce blocking artifacts. Two parameters of the proposed adaptive-weighted bilateral filter are adaptive-weighted so that it can avoid over-blurring unsmooth regions while eliminating blocking artifacts in smooth regions. This is achieved in two aspects: by using local entropy to control the level of filtering of each single pixel point within the image, and by using an improved blind image quality assessment (BIQA) to control the strength of filtering different images whose blocking artifacts are different. It is proved by our experimental results that our proposed image-deblocking scheme provides good performance on eliminating blocking artifacts and can avoid the over-blurring of unsmooth regions.

본 논문에서는 bicubic 방법보다 하드웨어 구조는 간단하면서 확대 이미지는 더욱 선명한 polyphase scaler를 제안하였다. 제안된 시스템은 새로운 픽셀을 얻기 위해서 디지털 필터의 group delay를 이용하여 해상도를 확대하는 방식을 사용하였으며 bicubic 방법과 비교하여 더 좋은 성능을 가지면서 하드웨어 구조를 간단히 하여 모바일 기기 등에 쉽게 적용이 가능하도록 설계하였다. 기존 polyhpase 필터는 해상도 확대시 영상을 흐릿하게 하는 blurring 노이즈가 발생하는 문제점을 가지고 있었다. 그래서 입력 신호의 고주파 성분을 증폭시키도록 Polyphase 필터를 boost-up 필터로 수정하여 보다 선명한 결과를 얻을 수 있었다. 본 논문에서 제안하는 polyphase scaler는 Xilinx Virtex2 FPGA를 이용하여 하드웨어 검증을 수행하였다. 제안된 polyphase scaler는 핸드폰 카메라의 디지털 줌으로 사용되어 질 수 있다.

The author has studied each landmark for successful interpretation in the radiograph of the head that have the complex anatomic structures, using panoramic radiograph, postero-anterior cephalometric radiograph, lateral cephalometric radiograph, Waters' radiograph of the skull. The anatomic structures of the human dry skull attached by radiopaque materials were taken radiographs and analysed comparatively. The results were as follows: 1. The overall anatomic structures of the mandible showed sharp images in the panoramic radiograph than other radiographs with relatively less distortion, superimposition, blurring of the image. 2. The anatomic structures were situated on sagital plane of the skull showed blurred images in panoramic radiograph than other radiographs. 3. The anatomic structures which were situated on the basal portion of the skull showed blurred and secondary images in the panoramic radiograph than other radiographs. 4. In the panoramic radiograph, the lower 3rd portion of the orbit appeared to be superimposed with the superior portion of the maxillary sinus and the medial and lateral surface of the nasal cavity showed extensively superimposition of the orbit and the maxillary sinus, which images showed blurring. 5. The inferior surface and posterior surface of maxillary sinus showed to be good image in the panoramic radiograph than other radiographs. 6. In the panoramic radiograph, line of maxillary bone between lateral pterygoid plate, line of maxillary bone between zygomatic bone showed distinct image with another structures.

본 논문에서는 소유권 보호와 변질검증이라는 두 가지 목적을 동시에 만족시키기 위한 다중 워터마킹 알고리즘을 제안한다. 먼저 강인한 워터마킹을 위해 기존의 QSWT 알고리즘을 이용하여 웨이블릿 계수에 워터마크가 삽입될 위치를 정한 후, 워터마크 영상을 DCT변환하여 삽입하는 알고리즘을 제안하였다. 다음으로, 워터마킹된 영상은 다시 변질검증을 위해 또 다시 워터마킹된다. 변질검증을 위한 알고리즘도 본 논문에서 새롭게 제안한다. 실험결과에 의해 제안한 다중 워터마킹 알고리즘은 blurring, sharpening 및 JPEG 압축 등의 공격에 강인함을 보인다. 또한 변질검증 워터마킹 기법에 의해 변질된 영역을 쉽게 판별하였다.

Face classification has wide applications in security and surveillance. However, this technique presents various challenges caused by pose, illumination, and expression changes. Face recognition with long-distance images involves additional challenges, owing to focusing problems and motion blurring. Multiple frames under varying spatial or temporal settings can acquire additional information, which can be used to achieve improved classification performance. This study investigates the effectiveness of multi-frame decision-level fusion with photon-counting linear discriminant analysis. Multiple frames generate multiple scores for each class. The fusion process comprises three stages: score normalization, score validation, and score combination. Candidate scores are selected during the score validation process, after the scores are normalized. The score validation process removes bad scores that can degrade the final output. The selected candidate scores are combined using one of the following fusion rules: maximum, averaging, and majority voting. Degraded facial images are employed to demonstrate the robustness of multi-frame decision-level fusion in harsh environments. Out-of-focus and motion blurring point-spread functions are applied to the test images, to simulate long-distance acquisition. Experimental results with three facial data sets indicate the efficiency of the proposed decision-level fusion scheme.

This study is to segment white matter, gray matter, and cerebrospinal fluid(CSF) on a brain MR image of coronal section and to calculate the volume of each. First, we segmented the whole region of a brain from a black colored background, a skull and a fat layer. Then, we calculated the partial volume of each component, which was present in scanning finite thickness, with the arithmetical analysis of gray value from the internal region of a brain showing the blurring effects on the basis of the MR image forming principle. Calculated partial volumes of white matter, gray matter and CSF were used to determine the threshold for the segmentation of each component on a brain MR image showing the blurring effects. Finally, the volumes of segmented white matter, gray matter, and CSF were calculated. The result of this study can be used as the objective diagnostic method to determine the degree of brain atrophy of patients who have neurodegenertive diseases such as Alzheimer’s disease and cerebral palsy.

This paper analyzes the problems that occurred in the magnification process for a fine input image and investigates a method to improve the problems. This paper applies a curve interpolation algorithm in CAD/CAM for the same test images with the existing image algorithm in order to improve the problems. As a result. the nearest neighbor interpolation. which is the most frequently applied algorithm for the existing image interpolation algorithm. shows that the identification of a magnified image is not possible. Therefore. this study examines an interpolation of gray-level data by applying a low-pass spatial filter and verifies that a bilinear interpolation presents a lack of property that accentuates the boundary of the image where the image is largely changed. The periodic B-spline interpolation algorithm used for curve interpolation in CAD/CAM can remove the blurring but shows a problem of obscuration, and the Ferguson's curve interpolation algorithm shows a more sharpened image than that of the periodic B-spline algorithm. For the future study, hereafter. this study will develop an interpolation algorithm that has an excel lent improvement for the boundary of the image and continuous and flexible property by using the NURBS. Ferguson's complex surface. and Bezier surface used in CAD/CAM engineering based on. the results of this study.
