This paper proposes a KLT-CVQ scheme using PCNN to improbe the quality of the reconstructed images at a given bit rate. By using the PCNN and classified vector quantization, we exploit the high energy compaction and compelte decorrelation capbilities of the KLT, and the pdf (probability density function) shape and space-filling advantages of the vQ to improve the performance of the proposed hybrid coding technique. In order to preserve the preceptual fetures such as the edge components in the reconstructed images, we classified the input image blocks according to the texture energy measures of the local statistics and vector-coded them adaptively, and thereby reduces the possible edge degradation in the reconstructed images. The results of the computer simulations show that the performance of the proposed KLT-CVQ is higher than that of the KLT-CSQ or the DCT-CVQ in the quality of the reconstructed images at a given bit rate.

In this paper, a video coding method in wavelet transformed multi-resolution image using variable block sized motion estimation and multi-codebook is proposed. In the propoed method, the accuracy of motion estimation is increased by using variable block matching algorithm based on edge type of blocks which estimation is increased by using variable block matching algoritm based on edge type of blocks which is classified accoridng to the magnitude of wavelet coefficients in vertical subband and horizontal subband of the highest layer. Also, we increased the flexibility of bit allocation and decreased vector quantization error for motion compensated error transmission by using importance of each subband. Some experimental results confirm that he proposed mothod has fine reconstructed images without blocking effect at low bit rate, and especially reconstructs edges well to which human eyes are sensitive.

In this paper, we have proposed the efficient algorithm that can segment the video scene change using a various statistical characteristics obtained from by applying the wavelet transformation for each frames. Our method firstly extracts the histogram features from low frequency subband of wavelet-transformed image and then uses these features to detect the abrupt scene change. Second, it extracts the edge information from applying the mesh method to the high frequency subband of transformed image. We quantify the extracted edge information as the values of variance characteristic of each pixel and use these values to detect the gradual scene change. And we have also proposed an algorithm how extract the proper key frame from segmented video scene. Experiment results show that the proposed method is both very efficient algorithm in segmenting video frames and also is to become the appropriate key frame extraction method.

A high-speed directional interpolation algorithm based on the pattern of a $2{\times}2$ pixel block is proposed in this paper. The basic concept of the proposed algorithm is started from UDWT(un-decimated discrete wavelet transform), but there are no transform operations. In order to detect the direction of the edge, 4-pixel differences of two pairs in the $2{\times}2$ block are compared. The $2{\times}2$ block patterns are grouped into total 8 classes, and thereafter the directional interpolation is executed according to the type of the pattern. Since the calculation of the proposed algorithm is very simple and needs a few additions on integer data type, the computation time is almost same as that of bilinear interpolation algorithm. However, experimental results show that the output quality of the proposed one is better than those of the conventional interpolation ones in the objective quality and the computation time.

이미지의 픽셀 기반 처리는 한 픽셀의 값을 변환하고 다른 픽셀의 값에 관계없이 현재 픽셀의 값에 따라 변환하는 프로세스를 의미한다. 픽셀 기반 처리는 이미지 변환, 이미지 향상 및 이미지 합성과 같은 많은 분야에서 가장 기본적인 작업이다. 본 논문에서는 히스토그램 연산과 같은 영상의 전처리 과정이 경계 검출 결과에 미치는 상호 연관성에 대해 알아보고 픽셀 기반의 처리를 이용하여 효과적으로 영상의 윤곽을 찾는 방법을 제안한다.

There are two methods to get 3-dimensional information by matching image pair feature-based matching and area-based matching. One of the problems in the area-based matching is how the optimal search region which gives accurate correlation between given point and its neighbors can be selected. In this paper, we proposed a new area-based matching algorithm which uses edge-features used in the conventional feature-based matching. It first selects matching candidates by feature-based and matches image pair with area-based method by taking these candidates as guidance to decision of search area. The results show that running time is reduced by optimizing search area(considering edge points and continuity of disparity), keeping on the precision as the conventional area-based matching method.

In this paper, a precision landing approach is implemented based on real-time image processing. A full-scale landmark for automatic landing is used. canny edge detection method is applied to identify the outside quadrilateral while circular hough transform is used for the recognition of inside circle. Position information on the ground landmark is uplinked to the unmanned helicopter via ground control computer in real time so that the unmanned helicopter control the air vehicle for accurate landing approach. Ground test and a couple of flight tests for autonomous landing approach show that the image processing and automatic landing operation system have good performance for the landing approach phase at the altitude of $20m{\sim}1m$ above ground level.

In this study, an image processing method with FRANSAC(Fuzzy RANSAC) is presented and discussed for the development of a microscopic gap measuring algorithm. Many problems in edge detection processing are mainly occurred by the illumination system. A serious problem is that the edge set of gap could include the error elements that have relatively larger error than normal. This problem leads to a incorrect measurement of gap. We present a gap measuring algorithm using FRANSAC[1] that is a representative robust estimation algorithm. FRANSAC is peformed by first categorizing all data into good sample set, bad sample set and vague sample set using a fuzzy classification and then sampling in only good sample set. Experimental results show that the presented gap measuring algorithm gives a higher accurate value of gap especially for the more noisy image data.

This paper proposes an algorithm for creating stereoscopic video from a monoscopic video. A viewer uses depth perception clues called a vanishing point which is the farthest from a viewer's viewpoint in order to perceive depth information from objects and surroundings thereof to the viewer. The viewer estimates the vanishing point with geometrical features in monoscopic images, and can perceive the depth information with the relationship between the position of the vanishing point and the viewer's viewpoint. In this paper, we propose a method to estimate a vanishing point with edge direction histogram in a general monoscopic image and to create a depth map depending on the position of the vanishing point. With the conversion method proposed through the experiment results, it is seen that stable stereoscopic conversion of a given monoscopic video is achieved.

본 논문에서는 협동적 제품 개발 환경에서 제품 설계 데이터와 제품 내의 객체 정보를 매칭하고 영상 기반에서 공학 데이터를 검색하기 위한 목적으로 영상 내의 객체의 각 영역을 분할 하고자 한다. 제품 설계시 생성 과정에서 CAD 툴 등으로부터 생성되는 영상은 객체 화소값의 차이가 적고 생산환경에 맞게 실시간으로 정보를 제공 할 수 있어야 한다. 위와 같은 두 가지 사항을 해결하기 위해, 전처리 과정이 없이 객체 내의 각 부분 정보를 알 수 있는 에지 기반 라벨링(Edge_Based Labeling) 기법을 제안한다.
