얼굴인식 시스템은 비접촉데이터 채집의 특성과 함께, 그 정확도가 점차 향상되고 있다. 공공 감시카메라와 같이 사진을 멀리서 찍는 상황에서는 저해상도의 얼굴 이미지로 인해 얼굴인식 시스템을 효과적으로 사용할 수 없는 경우가 있다. 이론적으로는 저해상도영상을 Super Resolution (SR) 방법으로 고해상도 영상으로 바꾸어 얼굴인식에 사용할 수 있지만, 기존의 SR 방법들은 얼굴 인식에 만족할만한 결과를 내지 못할 수 있다. 이 논문은 극 저해상도 (very low resolution) 얼굴인식 문제를 살펴보고 편미분방정식 기반 SR 방법을 제안하고, CNN 기반 얼굴인식 시스템에 응용한다.

예제기반 초해상도 영상 복원(EBSR)은 고해상도 영상과 저해상도 영상간의 패치간 대응관계를 학습함으로써 고해상도 영상을 복원하는 방법으로, 한 장의 저해상도 영상으로부터도 고해상도 영상을 복원할 수 있는 장점이 있다. 그러나, 폰트의 종류나 크기가 학습 영상과 다른 텍스트 영상을 적용할 경우 잡영을 많이 발생시킨다. 그 이유는 복원 과정 중 매칭 단계에서 입력 패치들이 사전 내의 고해상도 패치와 부적절하게 매칭될 수 있기 때문이다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 문제점을 극복하기 위한 새로운 패치 매칭 방법을 제안한다. 제안하는 방법은 영상 관찰 모델을 이용하여 입력 영상과 출력 영상간의 상관 관계를 보존함으로써 잘못 매칭된 패치로 인한 잡영을 효과적으로 억제한다. 이는 출력 영상의 화질을 개선할 뿐 아니라, 다양한 종류 및 크기의 폰트를 포함한 대용량 패치 사전을 적용할 수 있게 함으로써 폰트의 종류 및 크기의 변이에 대한 적응력을 크게 향상시킨다. 실험에서 제안하는 방법은 폰트와 크기가 다양한 영상에 대하여 기존의 방법보다 우수한 영상 복원 성능을 나타내었다. 뿐만 아니라, 인식 성능도 88.58%에서 93.54%로 개선되어 제안하는 방법이 인식 성능의 개선에도 효과적임을 확인하였다.

고해상도 위성영상은 기상관측, 지형관측, 원격탐사, 군사시설감시, 문화재보호 등 많은 분야에서 이용된다. 위성영상은 동일한 위성영상 시스템에서 획득한 영상이라 할지라도 하드웨어(광학장치, 위성의 운용고도, 영상 센서 등)의 조건에 따라서 해상도가 저하된 영상들이 발생한다. 따라서 위성이 발사된 이후에는 이러한 해상도가 저하된 영상들의 해상도 향상을 위해서 영상시스템의 하드웨어를 변경하는 것은 불가능하므로 위성영상 자체를 이용하여 해상도를 향상시키는 방법이 필요하다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 저해상도 위성영상을 이용하여 해상도를 향상시키는 방법으로 SR(Super Resolution) 알고리즘을 사용하였다. SR 알고리즘은 다수의 저해상도 영상들의 정합을 통해 영상의 해상도를 향상시키는 알고리즘이다. 하지만 위성영상에서는 동일 지역에 대한 여러 장의 영상을 획득하기 어렵다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 이러한 문제점을 해결하기 위해 어파인 변환(Affine Transform)및 투영 변환(Projection Transform)을 적용 후 영상에 대한 기하학적 변화를 보정하여 SR 알고리즘을 수행하였다. 그 결과 SR 알고리즘만 적용한 영상보다 어파인 변환과 투영 변환을 거친 후 SR 알고리즘을 적용한 영상에서 해상도가 확실하게 더 증가되는 것을 확인하였다.

In the image object classification problem, low-resolution images may have a negative impact on the classification result, especially when the classification method, such as a convolutional neural network (CNN) model, is trained on a high-resolution (HR) image dataset. In this paper, we analyze the behavior of applying a classical super-resolution (SR) method such as bicubic interpolation, and a deep CNN model such as SRCNN to enhance low-resolution (LR) weeds images used for classification. Using an HR dataset, we first train a CNN model for weeds image classification with a default input size of 128 × 128. Then, given an LR weeds image, we rescale to default input size by applying the bicubic interpolation or the SRCNN model. We analyze these two approaches on the Chonnam National University (CNU) weeds dataset and find that SRCNN is suitable for the image size is smaller than 80 × 80, while bicubic interpolation is convenient for a larger image.

The SRI (Super Resolution Imager) is the development project for the next generation satellite camera. This camera has more high resolution than the present satellite camera. It's used by very accurate observation and other multi-purposes. In this paper, the SRI electronic system is described in terms of H/W (Configuration and Function operation).

Regression-based image super resolution (SR) methods have shown great advantage in time consumption while maintaining similar or improved quality performance compared to other learning-based methods. In this paper, we propose a novel single image SR method based on hierarchical regression to further improve the quality performance. As an improvement to other regression-based methods, we introduce a hierarchical scheme into the process of learning multiple regressors. First, training samples are grouped into different clusters according to their geometry similarity, which generates the structure layer. Then in each cluster, a compact dictionary can be learned by Sparse Coding (SC) method and the training samples can be further grouped by dictionary atoms to form the detail layer. Last, a series of projection matrixes, which anchored to dictionary atoms, can be learned by linear regression. Experiment results show that hierarchical scheme can lead to regression that is more precise. Our method achieves superior high quality results compared with several state-of-the-art methods.

Because single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) is one of the widely used nuclear medicine imaging systems, it is extremely important to acquire high-quality images for diagnosis. In this study, we designed a super-resolution (SR) technique using dense block-based deep convolutional neural network (CNN) and evaluated the algorithm on real SPECT phantom images. To acquire the phantom images, a real SPECT system using a^99mTc source and two physical phantoms was used. To confirm the image quality, the noise properties and visual quality metric evaluation parameters were calculated. The results demonstrate that our proposed method delivers a more valid SR improvement by using dense block-based deep CNNs as compared to conventional reconstruction techniques. In particular, when the proposed method was used, the quantitative performance was improved from 1.2 to 5.0 times compared to the result of using the conventional iterative reconstruction. Here, we confirmed the effects on the image quality of the resulting SR image, and our proposed technique was shown to be effective for nuclear medicine imaging.

Nutritional disorders are one of the most common diseases of crops and they often result in significant loss of agricultural output. Moreover, the imbalance of nutrition element not only affects plant phenotype but also threaten to the health of consumers when the concentrations above the certain threshold. A number of disease identification systems have been proposed in recent years. Either the time consuming or accuracy is difficult to meet current production management requirements. Moreover, most of the systems are hard to be extended, only detect a few kinds of common diseases with great difference. In view of the limitation of current approaches, this paper studies the effects of different trace elements on crops and establishes identification system. Specifically, we analysis and acquire eleven types of tomato nutritional disorders images. After that, we explore training and prediction effects and significances of super resolution of identification model. Then, we use pre-trained enhanced deep super-resolution network (EDSR) model to pre-processing dataset. Finally, we design and implement of diagnosis system based on deep learning. And the final results show that the average accuracy is 81.11% and the predicted time less than 0.01 second. Compared to existing methods, our solution achieves a high accuracy with much less consuming time. At the same time, the diagnosis system has good performance in expansibility and portability.

In the case of long-stator linear drives, unlike rotative drives for which speed or position sensors are a single unit attached to the shaft, these sensors extend along the guideway. The position signal transmitted from maglev vehicle can't meet the need of the real-time propulsion control. In this paper the position estimator for propulsion inverter driving long stator linear synchronous motor (LSLSM) in high speed maglev train is proposed. In order to get the higher resolution of the position information transmitted from vehicle, Full order state observer is proposed for position estimator.

The two major classes of magnetic resonance (MR) contrast agents are paramagnetic contrast agents, usually based on chelates of gadolinium generating T1 positive signal enhancement, and super-paramagnetic contrast agents that use mono- or polycrystalline iron oxide to generate strong T2 negative contrast in MR images. These paramagnetic or super-paramagnetic complexes are used to develop new contrast agents that can target the specific molecular marker of the cells or tan be activated to report on the physiological status or metabolic activity of biological systems. In molecular imaging science, MR imaging has emerged as a leading technique because it provides high-resolution three-dimension maps of the living subject. The future of molecular MR imaging is promising as advancements in hardware, contrast agents, and image acquisition methods coalesce to bring high resolution in vivo imaging to the biochemical sciences and to patient care.
