This paper presents a dual exposure fusion method for image enhancement. Images taken with a short exposure time usually contain a sharp structure, but they are dark and are prone to be contaminated by noise. In contrast, long-exposure images are bright and noise-free, but usually suffer from blurring artifacts. Thus, we fuse the dual exposures to generate an enhanced image that is well-exposed, noise-free, and blur-free. To this end, we present a new scale-space patch-match method to find correspondences between the short and long exposures so that proper color components can be combined within a proposed dual non-local (DNL) means framework. We also present a residual filtering method that eliminates the structure component in the estimated noise image in order to obtain a sharper and further enhanced image. To this end, the entropy is utilized to determine the proper size of the filtering window. Experimental results show that our method generates ghost-free, noise-free, and blur-free enhanced images from the short and long exposure pairs for various dynamic scenes.

흑체의 온도 변화에 대한 영상의 색차를 줄이는 본질 영상은 단일 불변 방향을 검출하고 백색 장면 조명체를 기반으로 하기 때문에 실영상에 존재하는 다수의 불변 방향과 유색 장면 조명체에 취약하다. 이러한 문제를 해결하기 위해 본 논문에서는 ${\chi}$-색도 공간에서 ROI의 전방향프로젝션과 백색패치의 평행이동을 통해 불변 방향을 검출하는 본질 영상 획득 기법을 제안한다. 3차원 RGB 공간 분석의 어려움으로 인하여, 본 논문 또한 밝기가 고려되지 않은 ${\chi}$-색도 공간을 사용한다. 이 공간에서 유색 조명체의 효과는 백색패치의 평행이동을 통해 감소시키고, 색차에 따라 가상의 선분으로 나타나는 불변 방향은 ROI의 전방향 프로젝션을 통해 검출한다. 다수의 불변 방향을 고려하여 ROI 선택은 3D 히스토그램에서 빈도수에 의해 결정한다. 검출 후, 본질 영상은 불변 방향의 직교 방향으로의 프로젝션과 RGB영상으로의 역변환 과정을 통해 획득된다. 실험에서 Ebner가 제안한 데이터집합을 실험 영상으로 이용하였고, 불변 방향의 표준편차와 색항등성 측도를 평가 측도로 사용하였다. 제안한 기법의 실험 결과는 엔트로피 기법보다 불변 방향의 표준 편차가 낮았으며, 기존의 기법에 비해 색항등성이 2배 이상 높았다.

Recent developments in sensor technologies have provided remotely sensed data with very high spatial resolution. In order to fully utilize the potential of high resolution images, new image classification strategies are necessary. Unfortunately, the high resolution images increase the spectral within-field variability, and the classification accuracy of traditional methods based on pixel-based classification algorithms such as Maximum-Likelihood method may be decreased (Schiewe 2001). Recent development in Object Oriented Classification based on image segmentation algorithms can be used for the classification of forest patches on rugged terrain of Korea. The objectives of this paper are as follows. First, to compare the pros and cons of image classification methods based on pixel-based and object oriented classification algorithm for the forest patch classification. Landsat ETM＋ data and IKONOS data will be used for the classification. Second, to investigate ways to increase classification accuracy of forest patches. Supplemental data such as DTM and Forest Type Map of 1:25,000 scale are used for topographic correction and image segmentation. Third, to propose the best classification strategy for forest patch classification in terms of accuracy and data requirement. The research site for this paper is Namhansansung Provincial Park located at the eastern suburb of Seoul Metropolitan City for its diverse forest patch types and data availability. Both Landsat ETM＋ and IKONOS data are used for the classification. Preliminary results can be summarized as follows. First, topographic correction of reflectance is essential for the classification of forest patches on rugged terrain. Second, object oriented classification of IKONOS data enables higher classification accuracy compared to Landsat ETM＋ and pixel-based classification. Third, multi-stage segmentation is very useful to investigate landscape ecological aspect of forest communities of Korea.

Survival time analysis is one of the main methods used by the pathologist to prognosis for cancer patients. In this paper, we strive to estimate the individual survival time of Adenocarcinoma (ADC) lung cancer patients from pathological images by adopting the convolutional neural network called the SurvPatchV1 model. First, we extracted tissue patches from the whole-slide images (WSI) to deal with extremely large dimensions of WSI. Then the survival time of each patch is estimated through the SurvPatchV1 model. Finally, the individual survival time of each patient is computed. The proposed method is trained and tested on the subset of the NLST dataset for ADC lung cancer. The result demonstrates that our model can obtain all tissue information in lieu of only tumor information in a whole pathological image to estimate the individual survival time.

A door can serve as a feature for place classification and localization for navigation of a mobile robot in indoor environments. This paper proposes a door detection method based on the recognition of various door handles using the general Hough transform (GHT) and support vector machine (SVM). The contour and color histogram of a door handle extracted from the database are used in GHT and SVM, respectively. The door recognition scheme consists of four steps. The first step determines the region of interest (ROI) images defined by the color information and the environment around the door handle for stable recognition. In the second step, the door handle is recognized using the GHT method from the ROI image and the image patches are extracted from the position of the recognized door handle. In the third step, the extracted patch is classified whether it is the image patch of a door handle or not using the SVM classifier. The door position is probabilistically determined by the recognized door handle. Experimental results show that the proposed method can recognize various door handles and detect doors in a robust manner.

In this paper, we propose a new approach to learning a discriminative model for figure/ground segmentation by incorporating the bag-of-features and conditional random field (CRF) techniques. We advocate the use of image patches instead of superpixels as the basic processing unit. The latter has a homogeneous appearance and adheres to object boundaries, while an image patch often contains more discriminative information (e.g., local image structure) to distinguish its categories. We use pixel-level sparse coding to represent an image patch. With the proposed feature representation, the unary classifier achieves a considerable binary segmentation performance. Further, we integrate unary and pairwise potentials into the CRF model to refine the segmentation results. The pairwise potentials include color and texture potentials with neighborhood interactions, and an edge potential. High segmentation accuracy is demonstrated on three benchmark datasets: the Weizmann horse dataset, the VOC2006 cow dataset, and the MSRC multiclass dataset. Extensive experiments show that the proposed approach performs favorably against the state-of-the-art approaches.

텍스처 영상 압축은 JPEG과 같은 영상 압축 표준을 사용한다. 일반 텍스처 영상에는 JPEG으로도 좋은 압축 성능을 내지만 패치 텍스처 영상은 이러한 영상 압축 기술로 압축했을 때 좋은 압축 성능을 보이지 못하였다. 이를 보완하고 압축 성능을 높이기 위해 기존의 패치 텍스처 영상에 주변 화소간에 색차를 줄이기 위한 전처리 기술을 소개하고, 제안된 기술과 JPEG 압축을 순서대로 적용하였을 때 압축 성능이 23%에서 45%까지 향상됨을 보이고자 한다.

The propose of this study investigated the reproduction of color image displayed on a CRT monitor, for a range of different values of monitor gamma. We have used the GOG(gain-offset-gamma) model of the behavior of the CRT. Color difference have been computed in a color space, based on the CIELAB color appearance model. The 133 patch defined linearly color sample and 24 patch defined printing color target were used, and were subjected to the influence of nine different gamma value. The result show that neutral color is increasing the decrease range of luminance black color than white color. These results are of concern in the context of the "correct" display of color reproduction.
