Histogram is a very useful method on various practical aspect. With increasing importance of simple calculation method and convenience, it became the basic method in digital image processing nowadays. However, basic limit of using histogram is losing spatial position information of pixels on image. This paper reanalyzes image by presenting histogram with spatial position information(spatial histogram). Also using that result, level order recursive median filter is realized. Presented recursive median filter showed much improved results on edge maintenance aspect compared to existing recursive median filter.

Any classification process using SAR images presupposes the reduction of multiplicative speckle noise, since the variations caused by speckle make it extremely difficult to distinguish between neighboring classes within the feature space. This paper focus an argument of effective filter for preserving the weak boundaries by using the proposed method. To reduce speckle noise without blurring the edges of reconstructed image use wavelet-based sigma filter. As a result, the edge information of reconstructed image reduce blurring. Simulation results show that proposed method gives a better subjective quality than conventional methods for the speckle noise.

본 논문에서는 새로운 형태 특징값으로서 형태 correlogram을 제안하고 이를 기반으로 한 효과적인 내용기반 영삼검색(content-based image retrieval) 방법을 제시한다. 기존읜 색상 correlogram은 색상 정보에 공간적인 정보를 부여함으로써 영상검색 성능을 향상시켰다. 그러나 이 특징값은 형태 정보를 포함하고 있지 않아서 색상이 다르면서 비슷한 윤곽선 형태를 갖는 물체의 검색에는 좋은 효과를 보이지 못한다.이 문제를 해결하기 위해 예지(edge)들의 correlogram인 형태(shape) correlogram을 제안한다. 색상 correlogram이 색상들의 거리에 따른 상관관계를 나타내는데 반해 형태 correlogram은 에지 각도들의 상관관게를 나타낸다. 형태 correlogram은 gradient 축과 각도 축을 가지는 2차원 특징 벡터(feature vector)로 표현된다. 각 축은 24개 빈(bin)으로 나뉘어져서 총 576개의 원소를 가지게 된다. 또한 본 논문에서는 형태 correlogram의 데이터 크기를 줄이고, 회전에 대해 불변인 특성을 가지게 하기 위해 투영(projected) 형태 correlogram을 제안한다. 실험결과를 통하여 본 논문에서 제안한 형태 correlogram과 투영 형태 correlogram을 사용한 영상검색 방법이 기존의 방법보다 성능면에서 우수함을 입증한다.

An image enhancement method using modified anisotropic diffusion filter is proposed in this paper. It employs sensor noise estimation and scale space methods based on the minimum reliable scale. Then the anisotropic diffusion filter is modified by the calculated critical value function and local gradient. Through simulation, it is verified that the proposed algorithm has the capability of little or no noise amplification in homogenous region as well as superior edge enhancement.

In this paper, pyramidal VQ image coding by DCT classifier based on HVS is studied. The proposed DCT classifier based on HVS is that the transform subblocks of the image are mlultiplied by MTF which is a sort of band pass filter and sorted by the magnitude of their ac energy levels and classifeid into three classes such as low, middle and high variance class by the threshold and then edges are detected in comparison of the energy sum of ac transform coefficients corresponding to the different edge directions.

Real-time image processing algorithms to detect position and orientation of rectangular type electronic components are developed. The position detection algorithm is implemented with the use of projection method which is insensitive to noise. Also dynamic thresholding method of projection is employed in order to distinguish between the boundary of a component and any marking on the component. The orientation is determined by Hough transform of boundary candidates of a component, which is obtained a priori by a simple edge detection method. For real-time processing of both position and orientation for a component which is not aligned well, parallel processing method of image data is proposed and tested in real-time.

This paper presents a brush stroke direction creation method to distill painterly expressions from picture images. In actual paintings, each brush stroke has the same directionality in one segmented area. but directionality changes in the area of image border edges. This study employed the following methods to implement the directionality of the brush stroke area by: (1) detecting edge in input images, (2) region splitting and merging based on quad-tree division method, and (3) composing a direction map to create brush strokes with the same directionality in the segmented area. The results of the implementation enabled the simulation of the directionality of the stroke area shown in actual paintings.

In this paper, we propose image process modeling as a part of location based surveillance system for unauthorized target recognition and tracking in harbor, airport, military zone. For this, we compress and store background image in lower resolution and perform object extraction and motion tracking by using sobel edge detection and difference picture method between real images and a background image. In addition to, we use Independent Component Analysis Neural Network for moving target recognition. Experiments are performed for object extraction and tracking of moving targets on road by using static camera in 20m height building and it shows the robust results.

In this paper, we present a vectorization algorithm for finding a vector image from a raster image of the land registered map which is used as the base map for various applications, and an automatic region creation algorithm for generating every re¬gion automatically from the vector image. We describe an ARM (automatic geographical entity recognition and modeling software) which carries out the recognition and process¬ing of geographical entities automatically using those algorithms.

This is a study regarding the development of cultural products with applied traditional Saekdong-image. The objective of this study is to develop unique cultural products which combine traditional korean images with modern feel by utilizing traditional Saekdong-image. Saekdong has been an object of deep attachment and regarded as a tool for expressing korean images from ancient times to the present. Chosun dynasty shows a wonderful growth of fashion not only in dress but also in such accessories as patchwork wrapping-cloth and Saekdong, which imply a lot on formation or color arrangement. Approximately 24 pieces of cultural products that can be used in daily life were created using Saekdong, including traffic or credit card cases, name card cases, pouches, coin purses, bags, Vest, teapot wrapping-cloth, brooch. After design plans were made for each works, natural dyes were used to dye(dip dyeing) the fabrics(cotton, silk, linen) by theme. In addition, the increased quality of the products will be a competitive edge in the world market where products compete with no national bounds.
