  • In this paper, we present a new JPEG (Joint Photograph Experts Group) compression architecture which compresses still image into fixed size of bitstream to use restricted system memory efficiently. The size of bitstream is determined by the complexity of image and the quantization table. But the quantization table is set in advance the complexity of image is the essential factor. Therefore the size of bitstream for high complexity image is large and the size for low complexity image is small. This means that the management of restricted system memory is difficult. The proposed JPEG encoder estimates the size of bitstream using the correlation between consecutive frames and selects the quantization table suited to the complexity of image. This makes efficient use of system memory.

  • This letter proposes a real-time digital image stabilization system for cell phone cameras without the need for frame memory. The system post-processes an image captured with a safe shutter speed using an adaptive denoising filter and a global color correction algorithm. This system can transfer the normal brightness of an image previewed under long exposure to the captured image making it bright and crisp with low noise. It is even possible to take photos in low-light conditions. By not needing frame memory, the approach is feasible for integration into the size-constrained image sensors of cell phone cameras.

  • To retrieve complex data such as images in multimedia information, we need the content-based retrieval methods based on the visual properties rather than keywords. In this paper, a contrent-based image retrieval system is desinged and implemented to retrieve images using the features of images such as colors, lines and intensity vetor features when a visual query inputs. The contents for image retrievals are the color features extracted from the color component of 16 blocks of the image, th eline features extracted form 4 lines in the image and the shape features extracted from the intensity vectors of the 16 blocks. We can either use a whole image or a sketch image for query. As the experimental results demonstrate the precision 91% the recall 33% and the average rank 3.1 the retrieval performance is found to be high. The experimental results indicate that the retrieval using the weighted features have led to substantial improvement in the percision and performance of system.

  • This paper is to present a method for recognizing an image of a tracking object by processing the image from a camera, whose attitude is controlled in inertial space with inertial co-ordinate system. In order to recognize an object, a pseudo-random M-array is attached on the object and it is observed by the camera which is controlled on inertial coordinate basis by inertial stabilization unit. When the attitude of the camera is changed, the observed image of M-array is transformed by use of affine transformation to the image in inertial coordinate system. Taking the cross-correlation function between the affine-transformed image and the original image, we can recognize the object. As parameters of the attitude of the camera, we used the azimuth angle of camera, which is de-fected by gyroscope of an inertial sensor, and elevation an91e of camera which is calculated from the gravitational acceleration detected by servo accelerometer.

  • This paper describes the developed results of vision system for the recognition of material management characters, which was included in the billet image. The material management characters, which was marked at the surface of billet, should be recognized before billet moves to the next process. Our vision system for the character recognition includes that CCD camera system which acquire billet image, optical transmission system which transmit captured image to the long distance, input and output system for the interface with existing system and software for the character recognition. We have installed our vision system at the wire rod line of steel & iron plant and tested. Also, we have performed inspection of durability, reliability and recognition rate. Through the testing, we have confirmed that our system have high recognition rate, 98.6%.

  • The image information, used most frequently in multimedia, is visual and spatial information. It has several characters including the diversity of storage and output methods, large capacity, spatial relationship expression, and irregularity. Therefore, the various researches for methods of storing efficiently, managing, searching such image data are going on. And recently, it has arisen the movement of international standardization, MPEG-7 for searching contents base in multimedia environment. Especially, the research for implementation of more effective image database searching system important subject, because the practical image search system which can storage a lot of image information as database and query, search them has not generalized. Now the image search system based on text has researched to high degree, but it has many shortages so that nowadays the researches for searching system based on contents are going on. This research has used the wavelet conversion largely using in image processing instead of DCT method largely using in existent system, and so it had met similar and precise results than prior methods by image compression and extraction of specific vector.

  • In complicated environment, context information plays an important role in image segmentation/labeling. The recently proposed auto-context algorithm is one of the effective context-based methods. However, the standard auto-context approach samples the context locations utilizing a fixed radius sequence, which is sensitive to large scale-change of objects. In this paper, we present a scale invariant auto-context (SIAC) algorithm which is an improved version of the auto-context algorithm. In order to achieve scale-invariance, we try to approximate the optimal scale for the image in an iterative way and adopt the corresponding optimal radius sequence for context location sampling, both in training and testing. In each iteration of the proposed SIAC algorithm, we use the current classification map to estimate the image scale, and the corresponding radius sequence is then used for choosing context locations. The algorithm iteratively updates the classification maps, as well as the image scales, until convergence. We demonstrate the SIAC algorithm on several image segmentation/labeling tasks. The results demonstrate improvement over the standard auto-context algorithm when large scale-change of objects exists.

  • This paper proposes a fuzzy correction algorithm that can correct the distorted medical image caused by the scanning nonlinear velocity of the Digital X-ray Scanner System (DX-Scanner) using the Multichannel Ionization Chamber (MIC). In the DX-Scanner, the scanned medical image is distorted for reasons of unsuitable integration time at the nonlinear acceleration period of the AC servo motor during the inspection of patients. The proposed algorithm finds the nonlinear motor velocity modeling through fuzzy system by clustering and reconstructs the normal medical image lines by calculating the suitable moving distance with the velocity of the motor using the modeling, acceleration time and integration time. In addition, several image processing is included in the algorithm. This algorithm analyzes exact pixel lines by comparing the distance of the acceleration period with the distance of the uniform velocity period in every integration time and is able to compensate for the velocity of the acceleration period. By applying the proposed algorithm to the test pattern for checking the image resolution, the effectiveness of this algorithm is verified. The corrected image obtained from distorted image is similar to the normal and better image for a doctor's diagnosis.
