Quaternions have been commonly employed in color image processing, but when the existing pure quaternion representation for color images is used in perceptual hashing, it would degrade the robustness performance since it is sensitive to image manipulations. To improve the robustness in color image perceptual hashing, in this paper a full quaternion representation for color images is proposed by introducing the local image luminance variances. Based on this new representation, a novel Full Quaternion Discrete Cosine Transform (FQDCT)-based hashing is proposed, in which the Quaternion Discrete Cosine Transform (QDCT) is applied to the pseudo-randomly selected regions of the novel full quaternion image to construct two feature matrices. A new hash value in binary is generated from these two matrices. Our experimental results have validated the robustness improvement brought by the proposed full quaternion representation and demonstrated that better performance can be achieved in the proposed FQDCT-based hashing than that in other notable quaternion-based hashing schemes in terms of robustness and discriminability.

This paper is proposed a wavelet-based MCDT(Mask Coefficient Differential and Threshold) method of image registration of Multi-images contaminated with visible image and infrared image. The method for ensure reliability of the image registration is to the increase statistical corelation as getting the common feature points between two images. The method of threshold the wavelet coefficients using derivatives of the wavelet coefficients of the detail subbands was proposed to effectively registration images with distortion. And it can define that the edge map. Particularly, in order to increase statistical corelation the method of the normalized mutual information. as similarity measure common feature between two images was selected. The proposed method is totally verified by comparing with the several other multi-image and the proposed image registration.

Joint photographic experts group (JPEG) is a standard still-image compression technique, established by the international organization for standardization (ISO) and international telecommunication standardization sector (ITUT). The standard is intended to be utilized in the various kinds of color still imaging systems as a standard color image coding format. Because JPEG is a lossy compression, the decompressed image pixel values are not the same as the value before compression. Various distortions of JPEG compression and JPEG recompression has been reported in various papers. The Image compressed by JPEG is often recompressed by same type compression method in JPEG. In general, JPEG is a lossy compression and the quality of compressed image is predicted that is varied in according to recompression Q-factor. In this paper, four difference color samples(photo image, gradient image, gradient image, vector drawing image, text image) were compressed in according to various Q-factor, and then the compressed images were recompressed according to various Q-factor once again. As the result, this paper evaluate the variation of image quality and file size in JPEG recompression and recommed the optimum recompression factor.

In this paper, we propose a highly secure watermarking technique in which the watermark is multi-encrypted using the R, G, and B component pixels of color image, and then the multi-encrypted watermark is hidden in the LSB of the color image pixel. According to the technique proposed in this paper, the quality of the stego-image created by hiding the multi-encrypted watermark in the LSB of the color image is so excellent that the difference from the cover image cannot be recognized. Also, it is possible to extract the original watermark from the stego-image without loss. If the watermark is hidden in the image using the proposed technique, the security of the watermark is maintained very well because the watermark hidden in the stego-image is multi-encrypted. The proposed watermarking technique can be used in the applications such as military and intellectual property protection requiring high security.

We introduce the outline of our research plans concerning mental image expression for the purpose of communication. We are studying the Computer Organized Media Integration & Communication System (COMICS)as a flexible media handling environment. The system can expand the potential of mental image expression by freely handling and integrating various kinds of media. An experimental COMICS is also introduced.

이 연구의 목적은 위기 상황에서 조직이 내세우는 이미지 회복 전략이 대부분 언론을 통해 전달된다는 점에 착안하여, 언론보도 프레임이 공중의 이미지 회복 전략에 대한 판단에 영향을 주는가를 살펴보는 것이다. 이러한 연구 목적을 달성하기 위해서 신문을 중심으로 한 내용분석과 일반인을 대상으로 한 실험연구를 진행했다. 특히, 이 연구에서는 구체적인 위기 상황을 중심으로 조직의 이미지 회복 전략과 언론보도 프레임의 영향력을 알아보고자 하였으며, 위기 사건 중에서도 산업 전반 및 공중의 삶에 큰 영향을 주는 대표적인 사회 '위기'인 식품관련 사건을 선정하였다. 신문 내용분석 결과, 조직의 이미지 회복 전략은 대부분 일화중심 기사를 통해 공중에게 전달되는 경향을 보이고 있었다. 또한, 조직들이 구사하는 대부분의 이미지 회복 전략은 방어적인 것으로 이는 위기의 유형에 따른 이미지 회복 전략의 차별성을 보여주지 못하는 결과이다. 실험 결과, 조직들의 이미지 회복 전략은 공중이 선호하는 전략과 큰 차이를 보였으며 이러한 공중들의 인식은 프레임 유형에 따라 변화하는 양상을 보였다.

In this paper, we propose a new compression method for the edge image by analyzing the characteristics and the distribution of pixel values of the edge image. The pixel values of the edge image have the Gaussian distribution around '0', and most of the pixel values are `0`. By these analyses we suggest the Zero-Based codec that expresses all values in a CU by a single bit flag. Also, in order to reduce the computational complexity of the proposed codec, the block partition and the intra-prediction techniques are proposed by using edge information like the number of each edge direction, the distribution and the amplitude of a major edge direction in the CU. Experimental results show that the proposed codec leads to a slighter distortion in Y domain than that of HEVC, but has far faster processing speed up to 53 times while it maintains the similar image quality compared to HEVC.

This paper presents the method for the extraction of the lungs part from the other parts for the diagnostic of the lungs part. The proposed method is based on the calculation of the connected component and the centroid of the image. Connected Component labeling is used to label the each objects in the binarized image. After the labeling is done, centroid value is calculated for each object. The filing operation is applied which helps to extract the lungs part from the image retaining all the parts of the original lungs image. The whole process is explained in the following steps and experimental results shows it's significant.

Delivery of high quality video over a wide area network with large number of users poses great challenges for the video communication system. To ensure video quality, multiple descriptions have recently attracted various attention as a way of encoding and visual information delivery over wireless network. We propose a new efficient multiple description coding (MDC) technique. Quincunx lattice sub-sampling is used for generating multiple descriptions of an image. In this paper, we propose the application of a directional discrete cosine transform (DCT) to a sub-sampled quincunx lattice to create an MDC representation. On the decoder side, the image is decoded from the received side information. If all the descriptions arrive successfully, the image is reconstructed by combining the descriptions. However, if only one side description is received, decoding is executed using an interpolation process. The experimental results show that such the directional DCT can achieve a better coding gain as well as energy packing efficiency than the conventional DCT with re-alignment.
