HEVC RExt(High Efficiency Video Coding Range Extension) set a goal to support RGB/YUV 4:2:2 4:4:4 color sampling and over 10 bit-depth images. Unlike the previous 4:2:0 color sampling images, RGB images have the high correlation in inter-color planes. Using this characteristic, some methods which are contributed in JCT-VC standardization meetings estimate the pixel values of inter-color plane. But when we use the estimation of inter-color plane in RGB images, high frequency components of RGB images are caused to reduce the coding efficiency because they usually have the low inter-color plane correlation. Therefore, in this paper, we propose an adaptive low pass filtering method in the inter-color plane estimation. Using this method, we can improve the estimation efficiency of inter-color plane in RGB images. The experimental results with HEVC RExt RGB test sequences show that the proposed method has 0.6% BD(Bjontegaard Distortion)-rate gain and some increased complexity compared to the previous inter-color plane estimation method.

This paper proposes a new method of traffic signal detection and recognition in an RGB color model. The proposed method firstly processes RGB-filtering in order to detect traffic signal candidates. Secondly, it performs adaptive threshold processing and then analyzes connected components of the binary image. The connected component of a traffic signal has to be satisfied with both a bounding box rate and an area rate that are defined in this paper. The traffic signal recognition system is implemented using C language in an embedded Linux system for a high-speed real-time image processing. Experiment results show that the proposed algorithms are quite successful.

In this paper we propose a method to generate a true color image in scanning white-light interferometry (SWLI). Previously, a true color image was obtained by using a color camera, or an RGB multichannel light source. Here we focused on acquiring a true color image without any hardware changes in basic SWLI, in which a monochrome camera is utilized. A Fourier transform method was used to obtain the spectral intensity distributions of the light reflected from the sample. RGB filtering was applied to the intensity distributions, to determine RGB values from the spectral intensity. Through color corrections, a true color image was generated from the RGB values. The image generated by the proposed method was verified on the basis of the RGB distance and peak signal-to-noise ratio analysis for its effectiveness.

In this paper, Distance recognition measurement using distance calculation correction algorithm, was realization through LED dimming control. The calculation values for the RSSI average filtering and the RSSI feedback filtering were calculated and applied to reduce the error of the RSSI value measured from a long distance. It was confirmed that the RSSI values through the average filtering and the RSSI values measured by setting the coefficient value of the feedback filtering to 0.5 were ranged from -61 dBm to - 52.5 dBm, which shows irregular and high values decrease slightly as much as about -2 dBm to -6 dBm as compared to general measurements. A distance calculation correction algorithm to improve the accuracy was applied, which confirmed that as the distance increases, the range of errors decreases. In conclusion, unstable signals were corrected using the RSSI measurement result filtering, and the distance calculation correction algorithm was applied and performed to reduce the range of errors. In addition, RGB colors were implemented by LED to indicate the distance determination and the signal stability.

This paper proposes computer visual inspection algorithms for various LCD defects which are found in a manufacturing process. Modular vision processing steps are required in order to detect different types of LCD defects. Those key modules include RGB filtering for pixel defects, gray-scale morphological processing and Hough transform for line defects, and adaptive threshold for spot defects. The proposed algorithms can give users detailed information on the type of defects in the LCD panel, the size of defect, and its location. The machine vision inspection system is implemented using C language in an embedded Linux system for a high-speed real-time image processing. Experiment results show that the proposed algorithms are quite successful.

In this paper, we present a non-photorealistic rendering technique that automatically delivers a stylized abstraction of a photograph with DoF(Depth of field). Our approach is a new filtering method that efficiently classifies DoF regions using RGB channels and automatically adjusts the color abstraction and extracted line quality based on this classification. This DoF-based filtering is simple, fast, and easy to implement and significantly improves the abstraction performance in terms of feature enhancement and stylization.

일반적으로, RGB 영상의 높은 주파수 영역은 잡음으로 인해 색평면 간 서로 낮은 상관도를 가지고 있기 때문에 이러한 고주파수 성분은 색평면 간 예측의 효율을 저하시키는 원인이 된다. 본 논문에서는 RGB 비디오 코딩에서 색평면 간 예측의 효율을 높이기 위해 기저 색평면을 적응적으로 필터링 하는 방법을 제안한다. 색평면 간 상관도에 따라 적응적으로 기저 색평면을 필터링함으로써 색평면 간 예측 성능을 높일 수 있었다. 본 논문에서 제안하는 알고리즘을 통해 우리는 H.264/AVC High 4:4:4 Intra Profile에 비해 평균 14.71%의 비트율 감소와 0.93dB의 PSNR 향상 결과를 얻을 수 있었다.

Among various methods proposed earlier, fuzzy image filtering is usually one of the favored techniques because it has less blurring effect and the decrease of noise removal rate after filtering. However, fuzzy filtering is ineffective on color images since it is firstly developed with gray scale. Thus, in this paper, we propose a fuzzy filtering algorithm for color images. First, we divide RGB color information from image into three channels of R, G, and B and judge the possibility of each pixel with mask by fuzzy logic independently. The output pixel value might be the average or median according to the degree of noise. Our experiment successfully verifies the effectiveness of new algorithm in color image.

This paper proposes a method to minimize the error of the Kinect camera sensor by using a random undirected Kalman filter. Kinect cameras, which provide RGB values and depth information, cause nonlinear errors in the sensor, causing problems in various applications such as skeleton detection. Conventional methods have tried to remove errors by using various filtering techniques. However, there is a limit to removing nonlinear noise effectively. Therefore, in this paper, a randomized unscented Kalman filter was applied to predict and update the nonlinear noise characteristics, we next tried to enhance a performance of skeleton detection. The experimental results confirmed that the proposed method is superior to the conventional method in quantitative results and reconstructed images on 3D space.
