  • 본 논문에서는 H.264 표준화 기구인 Joint Video Team(JVT) 권고안의 정수 단위 화소 움직임 예측을 위한 Unsymmetrical-cross Multi-Hexagon-grid Search(UMHexagonS) 알고리즘에서 Uneven Multi-Hexagon-grid Search(UMHGS) 부분을 개선한 알고리즘을 제안한다. 제안하는 알고리즘은 이전 프레임의 동일위치 또는 상위 모드에서 이미 선택된 움직임 벡터(MV: Motion Vector)를 이용하여 신호 대 잡음 비(PSNR: Peak Signal to Noise Ratio) 및 평균 비트 율(Average Bitrates)을 유지하면서, 현재 매크로블록의 검색영역을 줄이는 것이 가능하다. 제안하는 알고리즘의 성능은 Full Search Block Matching Algorithm(FSBMA) 및 UMHexagonS 알고리즘의 integer pel 에 대한 SAD(Sum of Absolute Difference) 연산횟수로 비교평가 하였다. 그 결과, FSBMA 에 비하여 평균 97.64%, UMHexagonS 에 비하여는 평균 17.48%의 연산횟수를 감소시키는 우수함을 보였다.

  • In many image processing applications, a random noise makes some trouble since most video enhancement functions produce visual artifacts if a priori of the noise is incorrect. The basic difficulty is that the noise and the signal are difficult to be distinguished. Typical unsharp masking (UM) enhances the visual appearances of images, but it also amplifies the noise components of the image. Hence, the applications of a UM are limited when noises are presented. This paper proposed statistical algorithms based on parametric and nonparametric tests to adaptively enhance the image feature and the noise combining while applying UM. With the proposed algorithm, it is made possible to enhance the local contrast of an image without amplifying the noise.

  • In this paper, we propose a novel architecture, which is based on DCT (Discrete Cosine Transform), for ME (Motion Estimation) and MC (Motion Compensation). The traditional algorithms of ME and MC based on DCT did not suffer the advantage of the coarseness of the 2-dimensional DCT (2-D DCT) coefficients to reduce the operational time. Therefore, we derive a recursion equation for transform-domain ME and MC and design the structure by using highly regular, parallel, and pipeline processing elements. The main difference with others is removing the IDCT block by using to transform domain. Therefore, the performance of our algorithm is more efficient in practical image processing such as DVR (Digital Video Recorder) system. We present the simulation result which is compare with the spatial domain methods. it shows reducing the calculation cost. compression ratio. and peak signal to noise ratio (PSNR).

  • 현재 우리나라에서 사용되는 대부분의 교통신호 체계는 교통량의 변화와 상관없이 규칙적인 신호주기를 반복하는 방식으로 교통 패턴이 안정되어 변동량이 적은 경우에는 적합하나, 현장교통상황에 능동적으로 조정되지 못하고, 소방차나 구급차와 같이 긴급을 요하는 차량에 대한 대처가 힘들다는 단점이 존재한다. 따라서 유기적인 현장교통상황에 능동적으로 대처하고, 긴급차량에 대한 합리적인 대처 방법이 필요하다. 따라서, 본 논문에서는 이와 같은 문제점을 해결하고자 기 설치된 신호 후방 CCTV를 이용하여 지능적으로 신호체계를 제어하고, 긴급차량에 대해 신호우선권을 부여함으로써, 위급상황에 유기적으로 대처할 수 있는 지능형 교통신호 제어 시스템을 설계하였다.

  • Reversible data hiding is a technique that can embed information into cover media (image, video, voice signal) and can recover the original cover media after extracting the embedded information. In this papa, we propose a new reversible data hiding methods that based on block median preservation and the image local characteristic. By using the median value of a block, a high payload can be got and by considering the image local characteristic, a lot of distortion can be avoided and a high PSNR can be got. In the experiment, our methods can generate better result than the previous reversible data hiding methods.

  • 생체 신호를 분석하여 사용자의 건강과 정신 상태를 예측하고, 관련 질병에 관해 예방하는 연구가 늘어나고 있다. 생체 신호 중 심박은 사람의 육체, 정신적인 상태를 반영하는 대표적인 신호이지만 기존의 접촉 패드를 통한 ECG나 광학 센서를 통한 PPG로 심박을 예측할 때는 구속적인 환경이 필요하여 일상적인 상황 속에 적용하기 어려웠다. 이러한 단점을 해결하고자 본 논문은 UBFC-RPPG 데이터셋의 동영상 프레임을 RGB 채널마다 다른 가중치를 적용하는 전처리를 하여 학습 데이터의 크기를 줄이면서 정확도를 높이고, 3D-CNN을 활용한 딥러닝으로 순간적인 영상에서도 PPG 신호를 예측할 수 있도록 1초 전처리 영상을 학습한 후, 신호를 예측하는 것을 목표로 한다. 이렇게 비접촉식으로 취득된 신호는 더 다양한 환경에서의 감정분류, 우울증 진단, 질병 감지 등 다양한 분야에 활용될 수 있다.

  • In the environment where various and complicated threat signals exist, RWR (Radar Warning Receiver), which can warn pilot of the existence of threats, has long been a necessary electronic warfare (EW) system to improve survivability of aircraft. The angle of arrival (AOA) information, the most reliable sorting parameter in the RWR, is measured by means of four-quadrant amplitude comparison direction finding (DF) technique. Each of four antennas (usually spiral antenna) of DF unit covers one of four quadrant zones, with 90 degrees apart with nearby antenna. According to the location of antenna installed in helicopter, RWR is subject to signal loss and interference by helicopter body and structures including tail bumper, rotor blade, and so on, causing a difficulty of detecting hostile emitters. In this paper, the performance degradation caused by signal interference by tail rotor blades has been estimated by measuring amplitude video signals into which RWR converts RF signals in case a part of antenna is screened by real tail rotor blade in anechoic chamber. The results show that corruption of pulse amplitude (PA) is main cause of DF error. We have proposed two algorithms for resolving the interference by tail rotor blades as below: First, expand the AOA group range for pulse grouping at the first signal analysis phase. Second, merge each of pulse trains with the other, that signal parameter except PRI and AOA is similar, after the first signal analysis phase. The presented method makes it possible to use RWR by reducing interference caused by blade screening in case antenna is screened by tail rotor blades.

  • The utilization of virtual reality is increasing not only in games but also in medical care such as rehabilitation. Due to the convenience, the motion of the upper limb is detected using a non-contact method using video or a handheld type mouse, etc. In this paper, we implemented a glove which can measure finger movements and upper limb movements by using flex sensors whose resistance value changes according to the degree of folding and inertial sensors which can obtain direction information in space. We showed the upper arm movements including finger movements with signals obtained from the implemented glove on the open software platform, Processing. The sensitivity of each finger movement was 0.5deg, and the sensitivity of the upper limb motion was 0.6deg.

  • In this paper, we propose an algorithm for interlaced-to-progressive conversion by the weighted summation of the information collected from spatial do-interlacing method, in which the weighted edge based line average is applied, and the temporal method in which the motion compensation is employed by using hi-directional BMA (block matching algorithm). We employed time-recursive and motion adaptive processing as motion detection is involved. Also, a median filter is used to deal with limitation of the linear summation in which only an intermediate of values being involved is determined. The main goal of the approach is to overcome the shortcomings of each of the do-interlacing techniques without significant increment of the computational complexity, and the proposed method is apt to implement in hardware for real-time processing.

  • In this paper, the full color LED billboard or a general quality improvement methods of quality gamma correction, brightness, and brightness adjustment, etc., regardless of the overall color of images uniformly bright or dark have been taken care of. The video itself, but simply expressed as a uniform brightness of a certain size, how to adjust the brightness of input video signal does not reflect the characteristics of the entire screen with just a lighter or darker line is only feeling was brought. So, unlike conventional video transmission system with new LED display technology in the histogram analysis of image data is input by the input image data by determining the luminance values of the attributes are reflected, as appropriate based on the histogram of the distribution of brightness values By controlling the LED display is expressed in the uniform image can improve the brightness control, histogram distribution of the image as full color billboards driven processing technology is proposed.
