The edge preserving method is important for image storage and geometric transformation. In this paper, we propose a new edge preserving method using HOG-Guide filter for image segmentation. In our approach, we extract edge information using gradient histogram to set HOG guide line. Then, we use HOG guide line to smooth image. With two to four iterations of smoothing operations, we finally obtain desirable edge preserved image. Our experimental results showed good performances showing that our proposed method is better than other methods.

This paper presents a strategy and an algorithm for levitation control of an over-actuated passive maglev tray system. The passive maglev tray system has more actuators than its degrees of freedom. The actuators of the system are switching when the tray travels longitudinally. Furthermore, the levitation forces of the actuators are non-homogeneous because the actuation devices are not in the moving platform. These characteristics make a limit in using conventional control approaches for levitation. For smooth actuator switching, the actuator force generation should be dependent on longitudinal positions of the tray. To enable constant pose tracking, this research introduces a control strategy and a control algorithm based on integral controllers on virtual variables. The states of the tray are estimated using a Kalman filter and fed to the proposed controller. The performances of the proposed control strategy and the algorithm are validated through tests.

The wavelet transform was adopted as the transform for JPEG2000. However, wavelet has weakness about smoothness along the contours and limited directional information. So we use to other transform, called contourlet transform in compression. Objective quality assessment methods currently used Peak signal to noise Ratio(PSNR). But that is not very well matched to perceived visual quality. So new image quality assessment is required. In this paper, we propose a new method for image compression based on the contourlet transform, which has been recently introduced. In addition we evaluated compression image quality using PSNR and SSIM. Finally contourlet transform has a good result about images with smooth contours and SSIM is good method for image evaluation compared to PSNR.

We present a novel approach for the simulation of color pencil effects using line integral convolution (LIC) to produce pencil drawings from images. Our key idea is to use a bilateral convolution filter to simulate the various effects of pencil strokes. Our filter resolves the drawbacks of the existing convolution-based schemes, and presents an intuitive control to mimic the properties of pencil strokes. We also present a scheme that determines stroke directions from the shapes to be drawn. Smooth tangent flows are used for the pixels close to feature lines, and partially parallel flows inside regions. The background is rendered using a flow of fixed direction. Using different styles of stroke directions increases the realism of the resulting images. This approach produces convincing pencil drawing effects from photographs.

In this paper, we propose the lossless image compression algorithm using the integer wavelet transform. Recently, the S＋P transform is widely used and computed with only integer addition and bit-shift operations, but not proper to remove the correlation of smooth images. then we compare the Harr wavelet of the S＋P transform with various integer coefficient filter banks and apply 9/7 ICFB to the wavelet transform. In addition, we propose a entropy-coding method that exploits the multiresolution structure and the feedback of the prediction error, and can efficiently compress the transformed image for progressive transmission. Simulation results are compared to the compression ratio using the S+P transform with different types of images.

In this paper, we propose an automatic left ventricle segmentation method in computed tomography angiography (CTA) using separating energy function. First, we smooth the images by applying anisotropic diffusion filter to remove noise. Secondly, the volume of interest (VOI) is detected by using k-means clustering. Thirdly, we divide the left and right heart with split energy function. Finally, we extract only left ventricle from left and right heart with optimizing cost function including orientation term.

많은 이미징 장치들이 특정 컬러의 광학 신호만을 통과시키는 컬러 필터 어레이를 포함한 단일 이미지 센서를 사용한다. 이러한 이미지 센서로부터 얻어진 이미지들은 각 픽셀에 하나의 컬러 값만을 갖기 때문에, 완전한 영상으로 복원해야 한다. 본 논문에서는 단일 이미지 센서를 탑재한 이미징 장치를 위한 새로운 컬러 보간법을 제안하였다. 제안한 방법은 이미지의 에지 영역에서 우수한 보간 결과를 얻기 위해 에지 선별 기능을 개선하였고, 점진적 영역에서의 보간을 위해 채널간의 새로운 관계를 제시하였다. 보간 성능 비교를 위해 제안한 방법과 기존의 방법들을 비교하였다. 비교 실험을 통해 제안한 방법의 우수한 보간 성능을 입증하였다.

한반도의 단주기 표면파의 특성을 연구하기 위하여 기상청 지진관측망에서 관측된 지진자료에 잡음의 상호상관기법(Campillo and Paul, 2003; Shapiro et al., 2005)을 적용하였다. 다론 시간에 관측된 지진자료의 에너지를 평준화시키기 위해 1 비트 샘플링 방법이 아닌 화이트닝 기법을 사용한 것을 제외하고 일반적인 상호상관기법이 그대로 적용되었다. 잡음상호상관기법으로 얻어진 그린함수에서 다중필터기법으로 군속도를 계산하였다. 군속도를 역산하여 0.5 - 20 초 주기에서 표면파 분산의 공간적인 변화를 이미지화하였다. 사용된 토모그래피 역산기법은 각 주기의 공간적인 이미지 뿐만 아니라 주기함수인 분산 곡선을 동시에 구하기 위하여 모든 주기의 군 속도자료를 역산하였다. 역산결과, 한반도 남동부 지역인 경상분지에서 낮은 군속도를 확인할 수 있었다.

Objectives: This study was evaluated to elucidate the inhibitory potential of Imyosan(IMS) and its components, Phellodendri Cortex(PC: Phellodendron amurense Rupr., Hwangbaek in Korean) and Atractylodis Rhizoma(AR: Atratylodes lancea D.C., Changchool in Korean), on human aortic smooth muscle cells(HASMC) migration and production of matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-2 and MMP-9 by TNF-${\alpha}$ treatment. Methods: Cytotoxic activity of IMS and its components on HASMC was using 5-(3-caroboxy meth-oxyphenyl)-2H-tetra-zolium inner salt(MTS) assay. Effect of IMS, PC and AR on TNF-${\alpha}$-induced HASMC migration underside of matrigel filter was stained with hematoxylin-eosin. And total number of cells that migrated to the underside of the filter was counted. MMP-2 and MMP-9 activity was evaluated by gelatin zymography assay. Results: The matrigel migration assay showed that IMS effectively inhibited the TNF-${\alpha}$-induced migration of HASMC. Moreover, IMS significantly inhibited MMP-9 activity. Our present study demonstrates that IMS and its components inhibit TNF-${\alpha}$-induced HASMC migration and MMP-9 activity. The inhibitory effect of IMS extract is more potent than that of its component herb extracts. Conclusions: These results provide evidence that IMS has multiple effects in the inhibition of HASMC migration and may offer a therapeutic approach to block HASMC migration.
