  • This paper describes stereo image compression algorithm using disparity and JPEG. because similar images are images with common features, similiar pixel distributions, and similar edge distributions. Fields such as medical imaging or satellite imaging often need to store large collections of similar images. that is, a conventional stereo system with a single left-right pair needs twice data as a monoscopic imaging system. as a result we need compression method compatible stereo image, in this paper after we use JPEG in basic compression method and stereo matching using adaptiv window, we get disparity information, we restored right image using by restored left image and disparity.

  • We consider the problem of autonomously flying a quadcopter in indoor environments. Navigation in indoor settings poses two major issues. First, real time recognition of the marker captured by the camera. Second, The combination of the distributed images is used to determine the position and orientation of the quadcopter in an indoor environment. We autonomously fly a miniature RC quadcopter in small known environments using an on-board camera as the only sensor. We use an algorithm that combines data-driven image classification with image-combine techniques on the images captured by the camera to achieve real 3D localization and navigation.

  • In the industrial vision systems, image correction has great influence on the overall performance of measurement or inspection. The overall area of distorted image is usually splitted into small control areas, and each area is corrected by its control points. The performance of correction methods using control points can be improved by reduction of control areas because the computational time and memory highly depend on the number of control areas. We develop a merging algorithm that reduces control areas and preserves the correction accuracy. The algorithm merges the splitted control areas by use of quad tree method. Experimental results are presented to verify the usefulness of the proposed method.

  • Deep learning methods have been effectively used to provide great improvement in various research fields such as machine learning, image processing and computer vision. One of the most frequently used deep learning methods in image processing is the convolutional neural networks. Compared to the traditional artificial neural networks, convolutional neural networks do not use the predefined kernels, but instead they learn data specific kernels. This property makes them to be used as feature extractors as well. In this study, we compared the quality of CNN features for traditional texture feature extraction methods. Experimental results demonstrate the superiority of the CNN features. Additionally, the recognition process and result of a pioneering CNN on MNIST database are presented.

  • As computer systems to make medical practice easy are widely used, a special hardware system processing medical data fast becomes more important. To meet the urgent demand for high speed image processing, especially image compression and decompression, we designed and implemented the medical image CODEC (COder/BECoder) based on MISD(Multiple Instruction Single Data stream) architecture to adopt parallelism in it. Considering not being a standart scheme of medical mage compression/decompress ion, the CODEC is designed programable and general. In this paper, we use JPEG (Joint Photographic Experts Group) algorithm to process images fast and evalutate it.

  • This paper suggests a new CT-image segmentation algorithm. This algorithm uses morphological filters and the watershed algorithms. The proposed CT-image segmentation algorithm consists of six parts: preprocessing, image simplification, feature extraction, decision making, region merging, and postprocessing. By combining spatial and temporal information, we can get more accurate segmentation results. The simulation results illustrate not only the segmentation results of the conventional scheme but also the results of the proposed scheme; this comparison illustrates the efficacy of the proposed technique. Furthermore, we compare the various medical images of the structuring elements. Indeed, to illustrate the improvement of coding efficiency in postprocessing, we use differential chain coding for the shape coding of results.

  • Image morphing deals with the metamorphosis of one image into another. The field morphing depends on the manual work for most of the process, where a user has to designate the control lines. It takes time and requires skills to have fine quality results. It is an object of this paper to propose a method capable of realizing the semi-automation of field morphing using adaptive vertex correspondence based on image segmentation. The adaptive vertex correspondence process efficiently generates a pair of control lines by adaptively selecting reference partial contours based on the number of vertices that are included in the partial contour of the source morphing object and in the partial contour of the destination morphing object, in the pair of the partial contour designated by external control points through user input. The proposed method generates visually fluid morphs and warps with an easy-to-use interface. According to the proposed method, a user can shorten the time to set control lines and even an unskilled user can obtain natural morphing results as he or she designates a small number of external control points.

  • We describe a practical implementation of DVR (Digital Video Recording) system. And we propose a new image compression algorithm, that input video signal is divided into two parts, a moving target and a non-moving background part to achieve efficient compression of image sequences. This algorithm reorganizes a target area and a back-ground area by use of Macro Block(MB) unit on encoding scheme. The proposed algorithm allows high quality image reconstruction at low bit rates.

  • A medical teleconferencing and medical image transmision system has been developed for diagnosis of the medical images between the medical doctors who are far away. The medical teleconferencing system transmits the voice and image of the doctors using the video and audio capture boards. The medical image transmission system software uses the medical image standard DICOM 3.0 for the future expansibility and the open system interconectivity. The medical images usually use CR images.

  • This paper presents how it is effective to use many features for improving the speed and the accuracy of the visual servo systems. Some rank conditions which relate the image Jacobian and the control performance are derived. It is also proven that the accuracy is improved by increasing the number of features. Effectiveness of the redundant features is evaluated by the smallest singular value of the image Jacobian which is closely related to the accuracy with respect to the world coordinate system. Usefulness of the redundant features is verified by the real time experiments on a Dual-Arm Robot manipulator made in Samsung Electronic Co. Ltd
