In this paper, we propose a robust estimation of camera parameters from image sequence for high quality video composition. We first establish correspondence of feature points between consecutive image fields. After the establishment, we formulate a nonlinear least-square data fitting problem. When the image sequence contains moving objects, and/or when the correspondence establishment is not successful for some feature points, we get bad observations, outliers. They should be properly eliminated for a good estimation. Thus, we propose an iterative algorithm for rejecting the outliers and fitting the camera parameters alternatively. We show the validity of the proposed method using computer generated data sets and real image sequeces.

New very low bit rate segmentation video image coding technique is proposed by segmenting image into textually homogeneous regions. Regions are classified into one of three perceptually distinct texture classes(perceived constant intensity, smooth texture, and rough texture) using the Human Visual System(HVS) and the fractals. To design very low bit rate video image coder, it is very important to determine the best block size for estimation the fractal dimension and the thresholding of the fractal dimension for each texture class. Good quality reconstructed images are obtained with about 0.10 to 0.21 bit per pixel(bpp) for many different types of imagery.

The modern multimedia applications which are video processor, video conference or video phone and so forth require real time processing. Because of a large amount of image data, those require high compression performance. In this paper, the prosposed image processing encoder was designed by using wavelet transform encoding. The proposed filter block can process imae data on the high speed because of composing individual function blocks by parallel and compute both highpass and lowpass coefficient in the same clock cycle. When image data is decomposed into multiresolution, the proposed scheme needs external memory and controller to save intermediate results and it can operate within 33MHz.

온라인을 통한 이미지 공유는 사용자들이 활발하게 이용하고 있는 분야 중 하나이다. 사용자의 활발한 참여로 거대해진 이미지 데이터 베이스 내에서 효율적으로 이미지 검색을 수행하기 위해서는 이미지를 정확하기 표현하고 있는 태그의 존재가 매우 중요하다. 하지만, 최근 이미지에 등록 태그 중에서 상당 부분이 이미지와는 직접 관련이 없는 노이즈 태그라는 조사결과는 노이즈 태그로 인해서 이미지 검색의 정확성이 저하될 수 있다는 가능성을 암시한다. 그래서 노이즈 태그를 효과적으로 구분하기 위해서는 태그의 종류에 적합한 태그 정제 기술을 도입할 필요가 있다. 본 연구는 이를 위해서 이미지의 시각적 유사도에 기반한 Visually weighted neighbor voting 방법을 제안했다. 이를 통해서 이미지와 태그 사이의 관련성을 효과적으로 측정할 수 있었다. 그리고 기존 기술보다 안정적으로 노이즈 태그를 구분할 수 있음을 실험을 통해서 증명하였다.

Video composition is to integrate multiple image materials into one scene. It considerably enhances the degree of freedom in producing various scenes. However, we need to adjust the viewing point sand the image planes of image planes of image materials for high quality video composition. In this paper, were propose an intelligent video composition technique concentrating on the composition of CG and real scene. We first model the camera system. The projection is assumed to be perspective and the camera motion is assumed to be 3D rotational and 3D translational. Then, we automatically extract camera parameters comprising the camera model from real scene by a dedicated algorithm. After that, CG scene is generated according to the camera parameters of the real scene. Finally the two are composed into one scene. Experimental results justify the validity of the proposed method.

Digital display products are gradually becoming diversified and pursuing high-quality image display. Digital TV supports various video signal formats from conventional SD to digital HD because the format conversion of video image is required. Traditional format conversion of the video image is achieved by a 1-dimensional linear interpolator applying both horizontal and vertical direction. Jagging artifact can be expressed as the linkage of line segments in several directions. In this paper, we present the method that removes jagging artifact effectively using PCA (Principle Component Analysis) and reserve the detail in a given image.

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.

In this paper, development of the Image Transmission and Receiving System(ITRS) for UAV is being introduced. ITRS can tranfer the imagery informations from UAV to the multiple sites at the same time. Analog video signal is encoded by using MPEG4 protocol at the Image Transmission System, and the encoded digital video data can be transmitted to the various locations where the Image Receiving System decodes and displays the received video data. The ITRS might be a very efficient method of sharing UAV's information at a low cost.

The optical flow theory can be utilized for automatically tracking and positioning homologous points in digital video (DV) image sequences. In this paper, the Lucas-Kanade optical flow estimation (LKOFE) method and the normalized cross-correlation (NCC) method are compared and analyzed using the DV image sequences acquired by our SONY DCRPC115 DV camera. Thus, an improved optical flow estimation procedure, called 'Iterated Optical Flow Estimation (IOFE)', is presented. Our test results show that the trackable range of 3${\sim}$4 pixels in the LKOFE procedure can be apparently enlarged to 30 pixels in the IOFE.

최근 마이크로소프트 (Microsoft)에서 발표된 후 주목 받고 있는 JPEG XR 은 압축 효율 면에서 뛰어난 장점을 가지고 있다. 일반적으로 JPEG XR 은 기존의 JPEG 과는 다른 압축 과정과 주파수 성분 분포를 가지고 있다고 알려져 있다. 하지만 JPEG 압축 방식과 비교하여 JPEG XR 의 압축영역에서의 영상 필터 처리의 연구는 아직 미흡한 실정이다. 본 논문에서는 JPEG XR 의 압축과정과 주파수 성분 분포의 분석을 기반으로 효율적인 저역/고역통과 필터 함수를 제안하고, 체계적인 실험을 통해 제안한 필터함수의 효율성을 입증하였다.
