Geo-features play a key role in object-oriented or feature-based geo-processing system. So the strategy for how-to-model and how-to-manage the geo-features builds the main architecture of the entire system and also supports the efficiency and functionality of the system. Unlike the conventional 2D geo-processing system, geo-features in 3D GIS have lots to be considered to model regarding the efficient manipulation and analysis and visualization. When the system is running on the Web, it should also be considered that how to leverage the level of detail and the level of automation of modeling in addition to the support for client side data interoperability. We built a set of 3D geo-features, and each geo-feature contains a set of aspatial data and 3D geo-primitives. The 3D geo-primitives contain the fundamental modeling data such as the height of building and the burial depth of gas pipeline. We separated the additional modeling data on the geometry and appearance of the model from the fundamental modeling data to make the table in database more concise and to allow the users more freedom to represent the geo-object. To get the users to build and exchange their own data, we devised a fie format called VGFF 2.0 which stands for Virtual GIS File Format. It is to describe the three dimensional geo-information in XML(extensible Markup Language). The DTD(Document Type Definition) of VGFF 2.0 is parsed using the DOM(Document Object Model). We also developed the authoring tools for users can make their own 3D geo-features and model and save the data to VGFF 2.0 format. We are now expecting the VGFF 2.0 evolve to the 3D version of SVG(Scalable Vector Graphics) especially for 3D GIS on the Web.

본 논문은 한글 및 영문자의 구조적 특징을 이용하여 자연영상에서 문자영역을 검출하는 기법을 제안하였다. 자연 영상에서 에지 특징 값을 추출하고 추출된 특징 값은 필터링을 수행하여 문자의 특징에 맞지 않는 특징 값을 제거하여 문자영역 후보를 선정한다. 선정된 문자영역 후보는 한글 자소 병합 알고리즘으로 하나의 문자로 병합하여 후보 문자영역으로 검출하고, 한글 문자 유형 판별 알고리즘으로 한글 문자영역 여부를 판별함으로서 한글 문자영역을 검출하고, 영문자는 영문자 에지 특징 값을 적용하여 영문자 영역을 검출한다. 실험결과, 복잡한 배경을 갖고 다양한 환경에서 촬영된 영상에서 한글 및 영문자 영역을 효과적으로 검출하였고, 제안한 문자영역 검출 방법은 향상된 검출 결과를 보여 주었다.

To improve the brightness of images and reveal hidden information in dark areas is the main objective of low-light image enhancement (LLIE). LLIE methods based on deep learning show good performance. However, there are some limitations to these methods, such as the complex network model requires highly configurable environments, and deficient enhancement of edge details leads to blurring of the target content. Single-scale feature extraction results in the insufficient recovery of the hidden content of the enhanced images. This paper proposed an edge detection-based multi-scale feature enhancement network for LLIE (EDMFEN). To reduce the loss of edge details in the enhanced images, an edge extraction module consisting of a Sobel operator is introduced to obtain edge information by computing gradients of images. In addition, a multi-scale feature enhancement module (MSFEM) consisting of multi-scale feature extraction block (MSFEB) and a spatial attention mechanism is proposed to thoroughly recover the hidden content of the enhanced images and obtain richer features. Since the fused features may contain some useless information, the MSFEB is introduced so as to obtain the image features with different perceptual fields. To use the multi-scale features more effectively, a spatial attention mechanism module is used to retain the key features and improve the model performance after fusing multi-scale features. Experimental results on two datasets and five baseline datasets show that EDMFEN has good performance when compared with the stateof-the-art LLIE methods.

내용 기반 영상 검색(CBIR)은 영상 내용의 특성 기술을 이용하여 영상을 저장하고 검색하는 기법이다. 좀더 정확한 영상 검색을 지원하기 위하여 영상 내용을 좀 더 효과적으로 기술할 수 있는 특성의 개발이 필요하게 되었다. 현재 주로 사용되고 있는 낮은 레벨의 색상, 질감, 형태 등의 특성은 인간의 인지와 직접적으로 연관이 되지 않으며, 여러 개의 객체가 포함되어 있는 영상은 잘 기술하지 못한다는 단점을 가진다. 이러한 단점을 보완하기 위하여 영상 검색 분야의 연구는 높은 레벨의 특성에 대한 연구로 진행되게 되었다. 높은 레벨의 특성은 좀 더 인간의 인지와 유사한 형식으로 영상을 기술하며, 대표적인 특성으로는 객체간의 위치 관계 표현 등이 있다. 하지만 객체간의 위치 관계 표현에 대한 이전의 연구들은 회전된 영상은 검색하지 못한다는 단점이 있다. 하지만 회전 불변(rotation invariant)은 정확한 영상 검색을 위한 특성 기술에 있어 중요하다. 본 논문에서는 객체간의 위치 관계를 효과적으로 표현하기 위한 높은 레벨의 특성인 8AB(8 Angular Bin)라는 새로운 기법을 제안한다. 8AB 기법은 회전 불변을 지원한다. 제안한 기법을 이용한 유사도 계산 및 검색 기법 역시 제안되었다. 또한 본 논문에서는 검색 시간을 단축하기 위한 검색 공간 축소 기법을 제안하였다. 이러한 기법들을 이용하여 실제 데이타와 합성 데이타를 사용한 실험을 행하여 제안된 기법의 유효성 및 검색 공간 축소 기법의 성능을 보였다.

There are Two new models developed for objective evaluation of fabric color patterns by applying a multiple regression analysis and an adaptive foray-rule-based system. The physical features of fabric color patterns are extracted through digital image processing and the emotional features are collected based on the psychological experiments of Soen[3, 4]. The principle physical features are hue, saturation, intensity and the texture of color patterns. The emotional features arc represented thirteen pairs of adverse adjectives. The multiple regression analyses and the adaptive fuzzy system are used as a tool to analyze the relations between physical and emotional features. As a result, both of the proposed models show competent performance for the approximation and the similar linguistic interpretation to the Soen's psychological experiments.

Face detection using AdaBoost algorithm is capable of processing images rapidly while having high detection rates. It seemed to be the fastest and the most robust and it is still today. Many improvements or extensions of this method have been proposed. However, previous approaches only deal with upright faces. They suffer from limited discriminant capability for rotated faces as these methods apply the same features for both upright and rotated faces. To solve this problem, it is necessary that we rotate input images or make independently trained detectors. However, this can be slow and can require a lot of training data, since each classifier requires the computation of many different image features. This paper proposes a robust algorithm for finding rotated faces within an image. It reduces the computational and sample complexity, by finding common features that can be shared across the classes. And it will be able to apply with multi-class object detection.

A computer vision system was built to automatically grade the leaf tobacco. A color image processing algorithm was developed to extract shape, color and texture features. An improved back propagation algorithm in an artificial neural network was applied to grade the Burley type dried leaf tobacco. The success rate of grading in three-grade classification(1, 3, 5) was higher than the rate of grading in six-grade classification(1, 2, 3, 4, 5, off), on the average success rate of both the twenty-five local pixel-set and the sixteen local pixel-set. And, the average grading success rate using both shape and color features was higher than the rate using shape, color and texture features. Thus, the texture feature obtained by the spatial gray level dependence method was found not to be important in grading leaf tobacco. Grading according to the shape, color and texture features obtained by machine vision system seemed to be inadequate for replacing manual grading of Burely type dried leaf tobacco.

Conventional stereo matching techniques are based on the assumption that the features representing an object in left and right images have fixed attribute values. But, in fact, such features may take different values due to the practical stereo image formation and the image acquisition error, and thus the conventional techniques tend to result in the in the incorrect matching of features. In this paper, we propose a stereo matching mathod with a possibilistic view which copes with the possible variability of feature values. As a result, this method decreases the number of incorrect matching features when the values of corresponding features are somewhat large. The effectiveness of the proposed method is shown via computer simulation.

A thermal camera is used to obtain thermal information of a certain area. However, it is difficult to depict all the information of an area in an individual thermal image. To form a high-resolution panoramic thermal image, we propose an optimized FAST (feature from accelerated segment test) algorithm to combine two or more images of the same scene. The FAST is an accurate and fast algorithm that yields good positional accuracy and high point reliability; however, the major limitation of a FAST detector is that multiple features are detected adjacent to one another and the interest points cannot be obtained under no significant difference in thermal images. Our proposed algorithm not only detects the features in thermal images easily, but also takes advantage of the speed of the FAST algorithm. Quantitative evaluation shows that our proposed technique is time-efficient and accurate. Finally, we create a mosaic of the video to analyze a comprehensive view of the scene.
