Medical images with high resolution are coded to be archived and communicated in PACS. In this paper, We have studied on coding of cardio-angiography. Our coding technique's objects are removing blocking artifacts and edge degradation, adapting for drastic image change because of dye injection and fast decoding. We achieved good results for cardio-angiography image but the study on more sophisticated motion estimation technique must be peformed.

본 논문에서는 입체 영상 시스템 중 전송단에서의 영상의 입체감 분석을 위한 변이추정 방식에 대해 중점적으로 연구하였다. 변이추정은 기본적으로 MAE(mean absolute error)를 최소가 되도록 하는 동시에 변이를 각 방향에서의 경계값의 크기에 반비례한 정도로 평활화하는 반복적 블록 매칭 방식을 적용하였다. 수신단에서는 복원된 영상과 변이 정보를 이용하여 IVR(Intermediate View Reconstruction)을 수행하였으며, 보간법(interpolation)을 사용하는 동시에 occlusion 영역에서의 좌우 영상중 한 영상에서 외삽법(extrapolation)을 택하였다. 이 알고리즘으로 영상의 smooth 영역에서 일정하게 평활화된 변이를 추정하였고, 경계부분에서는 평활화방식에서 흔히 발생하는 oversmoothing 문제를 해결하였다. 또한 IVR에서는 다른 알고리즘에 비해 영상의 경계 부분을 살리며, occlusion 영역을 잘 보존하는 특성을 보였다.

In this paper, a SAR-despeck1ing approach of adaptive iteration based a Bayesian model using the lognormal distribution for image intensity and a Gibbs random field (GRF) for image texture is proposed for noise removal of the images that are corrupted by multiplicative speckle noise. When the image intensity is logarithmically transformed, the speckle noise is approximately Gaussian additive noise, and it tends to a normal probability much faster than the intensity distribution. The MRF is incorporated into digital image analysis by viewing pixel types as states of molecules in a lattice-like physical system. The iterative approach based on MRF is very effective for the inner areas of regions in the observed scene, but may result in yielding false reconstruction around the boundaries due to using wrong information of adjacent regions with different characteristics. The proposed method suggests an adaptive approach using variable parameters depending on the location of reconstructed area, that is, how near to the boundary. The proximity of boundary is estimated by the statistics based on edge value, standard deviation, entropy, and the 4th moment of intensity distribution.

This paper describes recently developed techniques for effective filtering of neutron detector signal noise. In this paper, three kinds of noise filters are proposed and their performance is demonstrated for the estimation of reactivity. The tested filters are based on the unilateral kernel filter, unilateral kernel filter with adaptive bandwidth and bilateral filter to show their effectiveness in edge preservation. Filtering performance is compared with conventional low-pass and wavelet filters. The bilateral filter shows a remarkable improvement compared with unilateral kernel and wavelet filters. The effectiveness and simplicity of the unilateral kernel filter with adaptive bandwidth is also demonstrated by applying it to the reactivity measurement performed during reactor start-up physics tests.

Medical imagies with high resolution are coded to be archived and communicated in MPACS. In this paper, we have studied on coding of Cardio-Angiography. Our coding technique is Subband-Vecter Quantization. This techniquec is irreversible coding method. This technique's advantages are removing blocking effect and edge degradation, adapting for drastic image change because of dye injection and fast decoding. We achieved good results fur Cardio-Angiography data, but the study on more sophiscated motion estimation techniques and VQ techniques must be performed.

Conventional noise reduction filtering schemes realize limited improvements of the peak signal-to-noise ratio (PSNR) in the low-level noisy images. The flatness degree and the edge information are effectively used to estimate the noise volume. We propose a noise estimator for reducing noise in the AWGN (additive white gaussian noise) corrupted images using three intermediate image maps (FGM(flatness gray map), FIM(flatness index map), NEM(noise estimate map)). The proposed noise estimator is fed into the conventional noise reduction filters as a pre-processor. The performance of noise reduction is tested in the various AWGN corrupted images.

This paper describes theories and implementation techniques of a digital high-definition television(HDTV) modem based on 32-QAM for terrestrial broadcasting. We proposed a digital demodulation scheme and a symbol timing recovery structure based on the band edge component maximization(BECM) method. The adaptive equalizer has 256 complex taps to remove the multipath of delays ranging from -2.mu.s~+24.mu.s with a new T/2-spaced blind equalization algorithm. computer simulation results reveal that the proposed algorithm outperforms other conventional blind equalization algorithm a digital HDTV modem with 4.91MHz symobol rate is implemented by utilizing the proposed algorithms. All processings for modem operations such as demodulation, estimation of symbol timing phase error, adaptive equalization, and carrier recovery except IF signal processing and sampling phase control part of the AD converter are done in digital domain. Especially, the carrier recovery loop can track a carrier offset of upto .+-.350KHz.

In this study, we previously conducted a quick evaluation of cement powder map using mesiline and hydrometer. The experiment also confirmed the possibility of rapid quality evaluation of cement powder. In this study, further studies have been conducted to apply speed and cost more economical than conventional methods, and the possibility of applying this research is to be analyzed. The result of the experiment was 500 mL of a bottled water bottle with a solid edge for measurement convenience, and the hydrometer was determined to be B type. In addition, density values of each other by powder during the same time period are considered to be measurable, indicating large differences.

The standard definition of computational vision is a set of inverse problems of recovering surfaces from images. Thus the common characteristics of the most early vision problems are ill-posed. The main idea for solving ill-posed problems is to restrict the class of admissible solutions by introducing suitable a priori knowledge. Standard regurarization methods lead to satisfactory solutions of early vision problems but cannot deal effectively and directly with a few general problems, such as discontinuity and fusion of information from multiple modules. In this paper, we discuss limitations of standard regularization theory and present new stochastic method. We will outline a rigorous approach to overcome part of ill-posedness of image restoration, edge detection, and stereo vision problems, based on Bayes estimation and MRF(Markov random field) model, that effectively deals with the problems. This result makes one hope that this framework could be useful in the solution of other vision problems.

The conventional 3D graphic accelerator is mainly focused on high performance in the application area of computer graphic and 3D video game How ever the existing 3D architecture is not suitable for portable devices because of its huge power. So, we analyze the embedded 3D graphics renderer. After the analyzing, to reduce the power, triangle set-up stage and edge walking stage are executed sequentially while scan-line processing stage and span processing stage which control performance of 3D graphic accelerator are executed parallel.
