정적 영상 획득 시 기존의 정적 영상 획득 방식 대신 동적 영상 획득 방식을 이용하여 움직임에 의한 motion correction을 적용함으로써 정적 영상 획득 시 발생되는 움직임에 의한 문제점을 해결하고자 하였다. 실험은 capillary tube와 IEC body phantom을 이용하여 움직임이 없을 때 정적 영상 획득 방식으로 얻은 영상과 동적 영상 획득 방식으로 얻은 각각의 frame을 더한 영상에 대해 resolution, frequency, total counts, blind test를 비교 분석하였으며 임의로 최소한의 움직임과 과도한 움직임을 주어 motion correction 전후의 영상에 대해서도 resolution, frequency, total counts, blind test를 비교 분석 하였다. 기존의 정적 영상 획득 방식으로 얻은 영상과 동적 영상 획득 방식으로 얻은 각각의 frame을 더한 영상의 resolution, frequency, total counts, blind test의 결과 값의 차이가 없었다. 또한 최소한의 움직임과 과도한 움직임을 준 영상에 대해 motion correction 적용 전후의 비교 결과 값은 motion correction 후 resolution, frequency, blind test의 결과 값이 움직임이 없을 때의 정적 영상과 거의 차이가 없었다. 하지만 과도한 움직임에 대한 보정 시 frame당 흐림 현상이 많이 발생 하였으므로 좌표 보정이 어려워 frame을 제외하는 방법을 적용하였기 때문에 과도한 motion correction 후 삭제한 frame 수만큼 total counts에서 차이를 보였다. 정적 영상 획득 시 움직임이 예상되는 환자에게 기존의 정적 영상 획득방식이 아닌 동적 영상 획득 방식을 이용하여 움직임 발생시 좌표 보정과 흐림 현상이 심한 frame 제외 방법을 이용하여 정적 영상에서 움직임에 의해 발생되었던 영상의 질 저하와 정량적 분석의 신뢰도 감소, 재검사에 대한 문제점을 해결할 수 있을 것이라고 생각되며 motion correction에 제공되는 다양한 프로그램 개발과 임상 적용에 대한 광범위한 연구가 현실적으로 필요하며 향후 지속적인 연구가 기대되는 바이다.

본 논문은 DCT 압축 영역에서 공간 주파수 특성을 이용한 적응 영상향상 방법에 관한 것이다. 영상의 동적범위를 압축하기 위해 Retinex 이론을 이용하여 영상의 조명성분인 dc 계수들을 조절하였으며, 대비를 개선하기 위해 인간의 시각 체계와 계수들의 공간 주파수 특성을 이용하여 ac 계수들을 수정하였다. 세로 방향, 가로 방향, 그리고 혼합된 공간 주파수 성분으로 분류된 ac계수들은 영상향상에 발생하는 블록화 현상을 최소화하기 위하여 적응적으로 수정하였다. 제안된 방법은 영상의 동적 범위 압축과 적응적 대비 개선을 이용하여 기존 방법보다 블록화 현상이 없는 효과적인 영상 향상의 결과를 가져왔다.

In this paper, we propose an image enhancement method based on Multi-Scale Retinex theory that designs Unsharp Masking Filter (UMF) and emphasizes the contrast ratio adaptively. Unsharp Masking (UM) technique emphasizes image sharpness and improves contrast ratio by adding high frequency component to the original image. The high frequency component is obtained by differentiating between original image and low frequency image. In this paper, we present how to design an UMF kernel and to adaptively apply it to increase the contrast ratio according to multi-scale retinex theory which resembles human visual system. Experimental results show that the proposed method has better quantitative performance indexes such as PSNR, ambe & SSIM and better qualitative feature like halo artifact suppression.

Though the increment of using computer vision system in modern industry, there are lots of difficulties to measure precisely because of measurement error distortion phenomenon. Between these reasons, the distortion of edge is dominant reason which is occured by the blurred image. The blurred image is happened when camera can not discriminate its precise focus. To correct and generalize distortion phenomenon is imprrtant. Thus we must fix the discrimination criteria which is collected by image recognition of precise focus. The edge of image means discontinuous point of intensity, and the component of edge is discribed as high frequency component at special domain specturm of image. The good condition of focus means there are much high frequency energy in image. The method of discribing high frequency energy is gradient operater which determines the condition of focus.

In a scanning electron microscopy, image distortion is a critical issue and it is needed to be eliminated by some kinds of schemes. In this work, scanning frequency and scanning wave form are adjusted to have an improved image. The relationship between scan coil and its driver is investigated and appropriate frequency and wave form are suggested. It is proved that the selected frequency and wave form showed an enhanced image with less distortion, which were done by experiments. In addition, a noise elimination is addressed, providing improved image with a GROUND signal integration with the amplifier and the scan driver.

In general, the informations of the inner image that user interested in are limited to a special domain. In this paper, as using Wavelet Transform for dividing image into high frequency and low frequency, We can separate foreground including many data. After calculating object boundary of separated part, We extract special features using Color Coherence Vector. According to results of this experiment, the method of comparing data extracting foreground features is more effective than comparing data extracting features of entire image when we extract the image user interested in.

본 논문에서는 영상의 선명도를 영상의 주파수 도메인 정보를 이용하여 측정하는 새로운 무기준법 화질 평가 방법을 제안한다. 기존에, 영상에 대한 선명도는 일반적으로 영상의 픽셀 값을 이용하여 측정되었다. 제안된 방법은 기존 방법과 달리 영상에 대한 선명도를 주파수 도메인 정보를 이용하여 측정하였다. 주파수 도메인에서 선명도를 평가하기 위하여 주어진 영상은 가우시안 저주파 필터를 사용하여 열화 되고, 열화 영상과 주어진 영상의 주파수 영역 계수를 사용하여 새로운 선명도 평가 함수를 정의하였다. 제안된 방법의 성능 검증은 TID2008 화질 평가 데이터베이스를 사용하여 이루어졌다. 기존 무기준법 영상 선명도 평가 방법과 비교하였을 때, 제안된 선명도 평가 방법은 주관적 화질 점수와 보다 높은 상관도를 보였다.

A novel characteristic value extraction method based on morphological spatial frequency is proposed. Morphological spatial frequency defined by morphological pattern distribution function is introduced. Superiority of the method was proved for various images by experiment. Furthermore the fact that the proposed method does not need threshold to obtain binary image provides its applicability to content-based image retrieval.

The enhancement of fingerprint image is necessary to improve the performance of fingerprint recognition. The enhancement of fingerprint image with Gabor Filter(GF) is widely used. However GF has the weakness such as long processing time and the sensitivity to ridge frequency. To overcome these weaknesses, we propose a Modified Anisotropic Gaussian Filter(MAGF) which is modified from Anisotropic Filter proposed by S. Greenburg's(SAF). This proposed MAGF can reduce the calculation time of ridge frequency and improve the weakness of sensitivity to ridge frequency. We also explained that MAGF is better than others mathematically and experimentally.

This study was performed to investigate the body image perception by BMI and the dietary behaviors in 803 college students(408 males and 395 females). The degree of obesity was divided into an underweight group with BMI less than $18.5kg/m^2$, a normal group with BMI of $18.5{\sim}22.9kg/m^2$, an overweight group with BMI of $23{\sim}24.9kg/m^2$ and an obese group with BMI over $25.0kg/m^2$. The average ages of subjects were 22.9 years in males and 20.2 years in females. The average weight and height of male subjects were 175.3 cm and 69.6 kg, respectively and those of female subjects were 162.5 cm and 52.0 kg, respectively. The average BMIs of male and female subjects were $22.6kg/m^2$ and $19.7kg/m^2$, respectively. The distribution of subjects who perceived their current body image as ideal body image was 25.7% in males and 10.9% in females, showing that the body image satisfaction of male subjects was 1.5 times higher than that of female subjects. Body image perception for their own bodies was mostly shown as the average or standard shape both in males and females with 64.2% and 54.2%, respectively, but males showed a higher perception rate than females and 31.1% of females and 19.5% of males perceived their bodies as lean shape(p<0.01). The body image satisfaction was 4.20 in males and 3.70 in females, showing more satisfaction in the male subjects(p<0.001). The correlation between body image and physical variables in male subjects indicated that CBI and IBI showed statistically significant correlation and also BMI showed statistically significant correlation with IBI(p<0.001) and CBI(p<0.001). The frequency of eating out increased as the frequency of skipping meals increased(p<0.001) and the frequency of having snacks increased as the frequency of eating out increased(p<0.01). The correlation between body image and physical variables in female subjects showed that CBI and IBI(p<0.001) had statistically significant correlation. Body weight showed statistically significant correlation with CBI(p<0.001), BMI(p<0.001) and height(p<0.001). The frequency of eating out increased as height(p<0.01) and the frequency of skipping meals(p<0.001) increased. When both male and female subjects wanted leaner body shapes, they preferred much leaner shapes despite their current body images belonging in the normal range. Additionally subjects preferred the body image in the normal range in cases when their current body images were lean. In particular, more female subjects had strong desires to become leaner in their body images than male subjects, which could be analyzed as a risk factor for physical him. From the above results, it is considered that both male and female subjects need to establish proper recognition and dietary behaviors for their body images and also need nutritional education and counseling for desirable weight control methods.
