The main purpose of this work was to restore the blurry chest CT images by applying a blind deconvolution algorithm. In general, image restoration is the procedure of improving the degraded image to get the true or original image. In this regard, we focused on a blind deblurring approach with chest CT imaging by using digital image processing in MATLAB, which the blind deconvolution technique performed without any whole knowledge or information as to the fundamental point spread function (PSF). For our approach, we acquired 30 chest CT images from the public source and applied three type's PSFs for finding the true image and the original PSF. The observed image might be convolved with an isotropic gaussian PSF or motion blurring PSF and the original image. The PSFs are assumed as a black box, hence restoring the image is called blind deconvolution. For the 30 iteration times, we analyzed diverse sizes of the PSF and tried to approximate the true PSF and the original image. For improving the ringing effect, we employed the weighted function by using the sobel filter. The results was compared with the three criteria including mean squared error (MSE), root mean squared error (RMSE) and peak signal-to-noise ratio (PSNR), which all values of the optimal-sized image outperformed those that the other reconstructed two-sized images. Therefore, we improved the blurring chest CT image by using the blind deconvolutin algorithm for optimal approach.

In this paper describes image enhancement technique using deconvolution processing for ultrasonic nondestructive testing. . When flaws are detected for B-scan or C-scan, blurring effect which is caused by the moving intervals of transducer degrades the quality of images. In addition, acquisited images suffer form speckle noise which is caused by the ultrasonic components reflected from the grain boundary of material [1,2]. The deconvolution technique can restore sharp peak value or clean image from blurring signal or image. This processing is applied to C-scan image obtained from known specimen. Experimental results show that the deconvolution processing contributes to get improved the quality of C-scan images.

조명 및 반사광의 성질에 의해 블러링이 발생하고 이런 영상을 인식하는 경우 정확한 에지 검출이 어렵게 된다. 본 논문에서는 블러링된 영상에서 에지를 최적으로 검출하기 위해 일정하게 에지를 검출할 수 있는 가우시안 함수와 2차 미분 함수를 합성한 새로운 하이브리드 함수를 제안하고 실제 영상과 컨볼루션 한 후 함수의 local scale 계수 $\sigma$ 값을 변화시키면서, Canny 알고리즘의 방향성 에지 검출방법을 적용하여 에지를 검출하였다. 그 결과 Sobel, Robert, Canny 에지 검출방법보다 0.2~14㏈ 정도의 에지 검출특성이 개선됨을 확인하였다.

A 3-D vision system is developed to evaluate blanks' line up and monitor gap and thickness difference between blanks in tailored blank welding system. A structured lighting method is used for 3-D vision recognition. Images of sheared portion in blanks are irregular according to roughness of blank surface, shape of sheared geometry and blurring. It is difficult to get accurate and reliable informations in the case of using binary image processing or contour detection techniques in real time for such images. We propoe a new energy integration method robust to blurring and changes of illumination. The method is computationally simple, and uses feature restoration concept, different to another digital image restoration methods which aim image itself restoration and may be used in conventional applications using structured line lighting technique. Experimental results show this system measuring repeatability is .+-. pixel for gap and thickness difference in static and dynamic tests. The data are expected to be useful for preview gap control.

본 논문은 역필터링을 이용하여 이동에 의해 흐려진 영상을 복원하는 기법에 관한 논문이다. 적절한 역필터를 설계하기 위하여 저하과정(Degradation Process)을 정확히 모델링하여 그의 역특성을 갖는 필터를 구해내야 한다. 고속으로 이동하는 물체의 영상은 Blurring되는데, 이것은 수학적으로 시간에 대한 영상의 적분으로 모델링될 수 있으며, 공간좌표상 방향성 방형 윈도우(Rectangular Window)를 상승(Convolution)하는 것으로 분석된다. 본 논문에서는 주파수 영역에서 이를 분석하여, 이동방향을 고려한 역 Sinc 함수 특성을 갖는 필터를 이용하여 흐려진 영상을 복원하는 기법을 연구한다.

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.

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.

신호를 블러링하여 상관도를 높이고 차이값의 정보량을 줄이는 BDPCM에 의한 영상 압축 가능성을 보인다. 균일한 양자화 간격을 가지고 부호기의 신호 흐름을 분석하여 복호기에서 완전한 신호 복원 능력을 제시한다. 블러링된 신호를 일반적인 DPCM 예측기에 의한 차이값이 일정한 동적 범위에 속한다는 것을 분석한다. 메디안 필터가 임펄스 잡음을 제거할 수 있는 대신에 신호를 철저히 훼손시키는 단점을 개선하기 위해, 차이값에 대해 선택적으로 필터링하는 것을 제안한다. 차이값 분포가 일정하기 때문에 전송중 잡음 특히 임펄스 잡음이 검출되며 필터링에 의해 제거된다. 이로써 저전송률 영상 전송에서 잡음 제거가 가능한 부호기를 제안하였다.

SAR영상의 가장 큰 문제점은 경계선 부근에서 스패클(Speckle)잡음을 어떻게 줄이느냐 하는 것이다. 본 논문에서는 제안한 방법을 이용하여 경계선을 보존할 수 있는 효과적인 필터를 개발하고자 한다. 스패클 잡음을 줄이면서 에지 영역에 대한 블러링 없는 영상을 추출하기 위하여 웨이브렛 기반의 sigma 필터를 적용하였다. 실험 결과 에지정보에 대한 블러링을 줄인 출력 영상을 구성하였다. 제안한 방법을 미디언 필터와 비교한 결과, 스패클 잡음을 효과적으로 제거한 우수한 영상을 얻을 수 있었다.
