Most image restoration problems are ill-posed and need to e regularized. A difficult task in image regularization is to avoid smoothing of image edges. In this paper, were proposed an edge-preserving image restoration algorithm using block-based edge classification. In order to exploit the local image characteristics, we classify image blocks into edge and no-edge blocks. We then apply an adaptive constrained least squares (CLS) algorithm to eliminate noise around the edges. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed algorithm can preserve image edges during the regularization process.

보간 기법은 영상의 해상도를 변경하는 것이다. 멀티미디어 기기의 해상도가 다양하기 때문에 원 영상은 각각에 맞는 해상도로 변경되어야 한다. 해상도 변경은 존재하지 않는 값을 임의로 만들어 채우는 것이기 때문에 왜곡이 발생한다. 대부분의 scaler에서는 수평과 수직 방향으로 해상도 변경을 하는데, 이 때문에 edge 영역에서는 왜곡이 더 많이 발생하며 쉽게 눈에 띈다. 본 논문에서는 edge 방향에서 발생하는 왜곡을 극복하기 위해 영상의 edge 정보와 Cubic Convolution을 이용해 임의의 배율로 해상도를 변경하는 방법을 제안한다.

An effective filtering algorithm which can reduce noise and preserve edges for the restoration of an image degraded by additive white Gaussian noise is presented. The algorithm proposed in this paper is an extension of Lee's algorithm modified to use local gradient information as well as local statistics. It does not require image modeling, and removes noise along the orientaiton of edges so that it does not blur the edge.

The modified Wiener filtering method is proposed for effective noise suppression in edge region of images corrupted by additive white gaussian noise. Although the pixels classified as a edge region in the conventional Wiener filter have lots of noise components, the conventional Wiener filler cannot remove noise effectively due to the preserving of edges. To reduce noise well in edge region, we modify filter coefficients of the conventional Wiener filter The modified filter coefficients increase in noise suppression effect In edge region, while they preserve edges for strong edge region. From simulation $(256{\time}256$ size, 256 graylevel images) filtered images by the proposed method show much improved subjective image quality with some improved peak signal-to-noise ratio compared to those by the conventional Wiener filtering.

Privacy vulnerability of social networks is one of the major concerns for social science research and business analysis. Most existing studies which mainly focus on un-weighted network graph, have designed various privacy models similar to k-anonymity to prevent data disclosure of vertex attributes or relationships, but they may be suffered from serious problems of huge information loss and significant modification of key properties of the network structure. Furthermore, there still lacks further considerations of privacy protection for important sensitive edges in weighted social networks. To address this problem, this paper proposes a privacy preserving method to protect sensitive weighted edges. Firstly, the sensitive edges are differentiated from weighted edges according to the edge betweenness centrality, which evaluates the importance of entities in social network. Then, the perturbation operations are used to preserve the privacy of weighted social network by adding some pseudo-edges or modifying specific edge weights, so that the bottleneck problem of information flow can be well resolved in key area of the social network. Experimental results show that the proposed method can not only effectively preserve the sensitive edges with lower computation cost, but also maintain the stability of the network structures. Further, the capability of defending against malicious attacks to important sensitive edges has been greatly improved.

무지도 경쟁학습을 이용하여 압축된 영상의 복원 후에 나타나는 테두리부분의 손상을 최소화하기 위한 영상압축 방법이 제안되었다. 제안된 영상압축방법은 영상데이터에서 테두리부분에 해당하는 데이터의 기하학적인 특징을 이용하는데, 영상데이터의 통계학적인 특성을 함께 이용하여 기존의 Centroid Neural Network을 일반화시키는 무지도 경쟁학습에 의하여 자동적으로 더욱 많은 code vector를 테두리부분에 배정함으로서 압축된 영상의 복원 후에 나타나는 테두리부분의 손상을 초소화하게 한다. 실험 결과, 기존의 SOM, M-SOM, M/R-CNN등과 비교하여 제안된 방법에 의해 압축된 영상의 복원된 테두리 부분에서 PSNR이 약 2dbv정도 향상된 결과를 보여줄 수 있었다.

Speckle noise reduction for ultrasound CT image using morphological adaptive median filtering based on edge preservation is presented in this paper. Speckle noise is multiplicative feature and causes ultrasound image to degrade widely from transducer. An input image is classified into edge region and homogeneous region in preprocessing. The speckle is reduced by morphological operation on the 2D gray scale by using convolution and correlation, and edges are preserved. The adaptive median is processed to reduce an impulse noise to preserve edges. As the result, MAM of the proposed method enhances the image to about 10% in comparison with Winner filter by Edge Preservation Index and PSNR, and 10% to only adaptive median filtering.

There are nodes and edges in a topological map. Node data has been used as a main source of information for the localization of mobile robots. In contrast, edge data is regarded as a minor source of information, and it has been used in an intuitive and heuristic way. However, edge data also can be used as a good source of information and provide a way to use edge data efficiently. For that purpose, we define a data format which describes the shape of an edge. This format is called local generalized Voronoi graph's angle (LGA). However, the LGA is constituted of too many samples; therefore, real time localization cannot be performed. To reduce the number of samples, we propose a compression method which utilizes wavelet transformation. This method abstracts the LGA by key factors using far fewer samples than the LGA. Experiments show that the LGA accurately describes the shape of the edges and that the key factors preserve most information of the LGA while reducing the number of samples.

In this paper, we propose a new color interpolation method based on trilateral filter approach, which not only preserve the high-frequency components(image edge) while interpolating the missing raw data of color image(bayer data pattern), but also immune to the image noise components and better preserve the detail of the low-frequency components. The method is the trilateral filter approach applying a gradient to the low frequency components of the image signal in order to preserve the high-frequency components and the detail of the low-frequency components through the measure of the freedom of similarity among adjacent pixels. And also we perform Gaussian smoothing to the interpolated image data in order to robust to the noise. In this paper, we compare the conventional demosaicing algorithm and the proposed algorithm using 10 test images in terms of hue MAD, saturation MAD and CPSNR for the objective evaluation, and verify the performance of the proposed algorithm.
