A selective coding scheme is proposed that describes a method for coding image sequences distinguishing bits between background and target region. The suggested method initially estimates global motion parameters and local motion vectors. Then segmentation is performed with a hierarchical clustering scheme and a quadtree algorithm in order to divide the processing image into the backgraound and target region. Finally image coding is done by assigning more bits to the target region and less bits to background so that the target region may be reconstructed with high quality. Simulations show that the suggested algorithm performs well especially in the circumstances where background changes and target regionis small enough compared with that of background.

In the paper, we proposed a ring type structured light image based embedded ranging sensor for a mobile robot. Since the proposed ranging sensor obtains omnidirectional object distance, it is useful for autonomous navigation of a mobile robot. By matching the local omnidirectional distance map with a given global object map, it is possible to get position and heading angle of mobile robot in the global coordinates. Experiments for matching and navigation were carried out to verify the performance of the proposed ranging sensor.

In this study, we propose an automatic contrast enhancement method based on transfer function modification (TFM) by histogram equalization. Previous histogram-based global contrast enhancement techniques employ histogram modification, whereas we propose a direct TFM technique that considers the mean brightness of an image during contrast enhancement. The mean point shifting method using a transfer function is proposed to preserve the mean brightness of an image. In addition, the linearization of transfer function technique, which has a histogram flattening effect, is designed to reduce visual artifacts. An attenuation factor is automatically determined using the maximum value of the probability density function in an image to control its rate of contrast. A new quantitative measurement method called sparsity of a histogram is proposed to obtain a better objective comparison relative to previous global contrast enhancement methods. According to our experimental results, we demonstrated the performance of our proposed method based on generalized measures and the newly proposed measurement.

This paper treats the DIS (Digital Image Stabilization) problem subject to base motions such as translation, rotation and zoom. For the local motion estimation from a raw image, the Harris corner detection algorithm is exploited to extract feature points, and comparing those of consecutive images, the zoom ratio (scale factor) is computed. For the global motion estimation, an equivalent model is derived to account for a 3-dimensional composite motion from which the center point and Euler angle can be determined. Finally, the motion compensation follows. To show the effectiveness of the present DIS scheme, experimental results for synthetic images are illustrated.

When only global or local features of images are considered, the segmented results exhibit inevitable errors. To reduce these errors, first we divide the image into uniform and nonuniform regions by considering the local properties of the image. Next we obtain the segmented results by applying the Fuzzy C-means (FCM) algorithm to the picture and determining to which uniform reigons each pixel of the nonuniform regions belongs. To reduce the computational burden and memory required for the FCM algorithm, the equations used for FCM algorithm are modified. The performance of the proposed method is quantitatively compared to existing ones using only global or local features of the picture. Computer simualtion result shows that the segmented results obtained by applying the proposed method are superior to existing ones.

Image enhancement for Infrared imaging system is mainly based on the global histogram equalization. The global histogram equalization(GHE) is a method in which each pixel is equalized by using a whole histogram of an image. GHE is speedy and effective for real-time imaging system but its method fails to enhance the fine details. On the other hand, the basic local histogram equalization(LHE) method uses sliding a window and. the pixels under the window region are equalized over the whole output dynamic range. The LHE is adequate to enhance the fine details. But this method is computationally slow and noises are over-enhanced. So various local histogram equalization methods have been already presented to overcome these problems of LHE. In this paper, a new regional dynamic range histogram equalization (RDRHE) is presented. RDRHE improves the equalization quality while reducing the computational burden.

복수의 영상들 간에 존재하는 변형을 빠른 속도로 파악할 수 있는 영상 등록 방법을 제안한다. 제안하는 방법은 문자인식 및 얼굴인식 분야에서 많이 사용되는 N-tuple 방법을 영상 등록에 적용함으로써 영상간 회전 및 이동 상태를 고속으로 파악한다. 또한 특정 특징을 이용하지 않아 영상의 종류에 무관하게 적용할 수 있으며 소수점 화소 단위의 변형도 파악할 수 있다. 실험을 통해 영상 패치를 이용한 영상 등록 방법과 속도 및 정확도를 비교한 결과, 제안하는 방법이 속도와 정확도 면에서 우수함을 보였다.

Belief propagation (BP) is a commonly used global energy minimization algorithm for solving stereo matching problem in 3D reconstruction. However, it requires large memory bandwidth and data size. In this paper, we propose a novel memory-efficient algorithm of BP in stereo matching on the Graphics Processing Units (GPU). The data size and transfer bandwidth are significantly reduced by storing only a part of the whole message. In order to maintain the accuracy of the matching result, the local messages are reconstructed using shared memory available in GPU. Experimental result shows that there is almost an order of reduction in the global memory consumption, and 21 to 46% saving in memory bandwidth when compared to the conventional algorithm. The implementation result on a recent GPU shows that we can obtain 22.8 times speedup in execution time compared to the execution on CPU.

SGM (Semi Global Matching)은 입체영상 간 모든점의 매칭점을 찾기 때문에 고해상도 위성영상으로부터 고밀도 수치표면모델 제작이 가능하다. 그러나 물과 그림자, 폐색 지역이 포함되면 그 주변지점에도 오매칭의 영향을 준다. 특히 우리나라 아파트 구조물과 같이 시차가 크고 길쭉한 형태의 건물에서는 50cm급 고해상도 위성영상에 SGM 방법을 적용하더라도 건물의 3차원 복원은 어렵다. 따라서 본 연구는 1m급 해상도의 IKONOS-2 입체 위성 영상으로부터 분류영상과 에지영상을 이용한 SGM 기법을 제안, 적용하여 수치표면모델을 제작하고 일반 SGM 방법, ERDAS 소프트웨어의 고밀도 ABM (Area Based Matching) 매칭으로 제작한 수치표면모델과 비교하였다. 실험 대상지역에는 제안방법의 아파트 수치표면모델 결과가 가장 우수하였다. 결과적으로, 해상도가 1m 임에도 불구하고 제안방법을 이용하여 건물 수치표면모델의 윤곽선을 기존 방법에 비해 더욱 더 선명하게 표현할 수 있었다.
