This paper presents robust and efficient scene-based video watermarking method using visual rhythm (spatio-temporal slice) in compressed domain. Scene change can be detected easily using visual rhythm and video sequences are conveniently edited at the scene boundaries. Therefore, scene-based watermark embedding Process it a natural choice. Temporal spread spectrum can be achieved by applying spread spectrum methods to visual rhythm. Additive Gaussian noise, low-pass filtering, median filtering and histogram equalization attack are simulated for all frames. Frame sub-sampling is also simulated as a typical video attack Simulation results show that proposed algorithm is robust and efficient in the presence of such kind of attacks.

The color space transformation to link device-dependent color spaces and device-independent color spaces is essential for device characterization and cross-media color reproduction. There are various color conversion methods such as regression, 3D interpolation with LUT(look-up table), and neural network. In the color transformation with these methods, the conversion accuracy is essentially based on the sample data to be exploited for device characterization. In conventional method, color samples are uniformly selected in device-dependent space such as CMY and RGB. However, distribution of these color samples is very non-uniform in device-independent color space such as CIEL*a*b*. Accordingly, the conversion error in device-independent color space is irregular according to the distribution of the samples. In this paper, a color sampling method based on equi-visual perception is proposed to obtain approximate uniform color samples in CIEL*a*b* space. In order to evaluate transformation accuracy of proposed method, color space transformations are simulated using regression, 3D interpolation with LUT and neural network techniques, respectively.

This paper describes a method for achieving a novel design within a class of 3D objects that would create a preferred impression on users. Physical parameters of the 3D objects that might strongly contribute to their visual impressions are sought through computational investigation of the impression ratings obtained for learning samples. "Car body" was selected as the class of 3D objects to be investigated. A morphable 3D model of car bodies that describes the variations in appearance using a smaller number of parameters was obtained. Based on each car body's rating for the impression of speediness obtained by paired comparison, the visual impression was transformed by manipulating the parameters defined in the morphable 3D model. The validity of the proposed method was confirmed by psychological experiments. A new scheme is also proposed to properly re-sample a novel object of a peculiar shape so that such an object could also be represented by the morphable 3D model.

본 논문에서는 배경 차분에 의해 객체를 검출하고 확률적으로 표본화된 입자 필터링(particle filtering)기법을 사용한 다중객체 추적 기법을 제안한다. 확률적으로 표본화된 입자들을 사용하여 다중 객체에 독립적으로 적용할 때 발생하는 계산 복잡도(computational complexity)를 감소시키는 동시에 안정적인 추적을 가능하게 하였다. 객체의 색상정보를 사용한 히스토그램 분포에 의한 관측 모델(observation model)을 구성하고 객체의 움직임 정보를 위해 동적 모델을 공식화하여 영상을 해석하였다. 전체적인 추적 시스템은 베이시언 최대 우도 기법(Bayesian maximum likelihood method)을 근간으로 하되, 입자 필터링을 객체 추적에 적용하여 실용적인 현실 객체 추적 상황에도 강건하게 대처할 수 있음을 실험을 통해서 증명하였다.

3차원 비디오 전송에 있어서, 렌더링에 사용되는 깊이 맵은 압축 효율을 위하여 일반적으로 낮은 해상도로 다운샘플링 되어 전송된다. 이때, 다운샘플링 과정에서 발생하는 오류는 디코딩 후의 적절한 업샘플링 기법을 통하여 효과적으로 복구할 수 있다. 하지만 기존의 연구들은 이러한 오류를 줄이기 위하여 여러 업샘플링 기법에 대해서만 초점이 맞춰져 있었다. 본 논문에서는 사람의 인지적인 화질을 보다 제고시키기 위하여 동적인 객체와 정적인 배경에 서로 다른 다운샘플링 비율을 적용시키는 새로운 하이브리드 깊이 맵 다운샘플링 기법을 제안한다. 실험적인 결과는 제안하는 방법이 시각적인 품질과 PSNR 측면에서의 이득이 있음을 보여준다. 또한 제안하는 방법은 여러 업샘플링 기법들과 호환이 가능하다.

분 논문에서는 Lohmann 방법과 FFT (fast Fourier transform)를 사용하여 홀로그램을 제작하였다. 먼저 수학적으로 정의되는 물체의 $128{\times}128$로 표본화된 점들에 대한 복소 파면을 FFT 연산으로 구하였다. 그리고 Lohmann의 방법을 사용하여 각각의 표본점에 대한 복소 파면의 진폭과 위상을 홀로그램 정보로 바꾸었다. PC와 레이저 프린터를 용하여 홀로그램 도면을 그렸으며, 그 도면을 사진 축소하여 CGH(computer generated holograms) 필름을 제작하였다. 헬륨-네온 레이저와 역퓨리에 변환 광학계를 사용하여 수학적으로 정의되는 물체의 홀로그램 상을 재생하였다. $32{\times}32$, $64{\times}64$, $128{\times}128$의 표본수, random 위상의 적용 여부, 진폭 절단 및 CGH 필름의 표백 정도에 따라 변화하는 홀로그램 상의 특성을 조사하였다. 이 실험을 통하여 우수한 홀로그램 상을 재생할 수 있는 최적 조건과 홀로그램 상에서 스페클 잡음을 줄일 수 있는 최적 조건을 얻을 수 있었다. 2진 위상 홀로그램을 프로그램하기 위하여 Lohmann의 알고리즘을 MS Visual BASIC 6.0으로 구현하였다.

Background: Electrical impedance tomography (EIT) is a new non-invasive, mobile screening method which does not use ionizing radiation to the human breast; allows conducting quantitative assessment of the images besides the visual interpretation. The aim of this study was to correlate the quantitative assessment and visual interpretation of breast electrical impedance tomographs and associated factors. Materials and Methods: One hundred and fifty mammography patients above 40 years and undergoing EIT were chosen using convenient sampling. Visual interpretation of the images was carried out by a radiologist with minimum of three years experience using the breast imaging - electrical impedance (BI-EIM) classification for detection of abnormalities. A set of thirty blinded EIT images were reinterpreted to determine the intra-rater reliability using kappa. Quantitative assessment was by comparison of the breast average electric conductivity with the norm and correlations with visual interpretation of the images were determined using Chi-square. One-way ANOVA was used to compare the mean electrical conductivity between groups and t-test was used for comparisons with pre-existing Caucasians statistics. Independent t-tests were applied to compare the mean electrical conductivity of women with factors like exogenous hormone use and family history of breast cancer. Results: The mean electrical conductivity of Malaysian women was significantly lower than that of Caucasians (p<0.05). Quantitative assessment of electrical impedance tomography was significantly related with visual interpretation of images of the breast (p<0.05). Conclusions: Quantitative assessment of electrical impedance tomography images was significantly related with visual interpretation.

Estimation of cable tension through proper measurements is one of the essential tasks in evaluating the safety of cable structures. In this paper, a study on cable tension estimation using the built-in accelerometer and camera in a smartphone was conducted. For the experimental study, visual displacement measurement using a smartphone camera and acceleration measurement using a built-in accelerometer were performed in the cable-stayed bridge model. The estimated natural frequencies and transformed tensions from these measurements were compared with the theoretical values and results from the normal visual displacement method. Through comparison, it can be seen that the error between the method using the smartphone and the normal visual displacement is sufficiently small to be acceptable. It has also been shown that those errors are much smaller than the difference between the values calculated by the theoretical model. These results show that the deviation according to the type of measurement method is not large and it is rather important to use an appropriate mathematical model. In conclusion, in the case of cable tension estimation, it can be said that the visual displacement measurement and acceleration using a smartphone can be a sufficiently applicable method, just like the normal visual displacement method. It is also noteworthy that the smartphone accelerometer has a larger magnitude error and has more limitations such as high-frequency sampling instability compared to the visual displacement method, but shows almost the same performance as the visual displacement method in this cable tension estimation.

3D 영상의 획득을 위해 이용하는 깊이 지도는 영상의 깊이 정보를 가지고 있다. 그러나 일반적으로 고해상도이며 잡음이 제거된 고화질의 깊이 지도를 카메라로부터 직접 획득하는 것은 어렵다. 그래서 저해상도의 깊이 지도를 획득하고 업샘플링 및 전/후 영상처리를 통해 높은 품질의 고해상도 깊이 지도를 획득하는 기법들이 연구되고 있다. 하지만 기존의 연구는 영상의 질에 큰 변수로 작용하는 에지 부분의 효과적 업샘플링이 미흡하다. 그래서 본 논문은 에지 부분을 차별적으로 고려하는 인지적인 특성을 반영한 영상품질향상 연구에 초점을 맞춰 결합 양방향 필터의 가중치를 적응적으로 조절함으로써 깊이 지도와 합성 영상을 개선한 고해상도의 깊이 지도를 얻는 업샘플링 방법을 제안하였다. 제안 방식을 기존의 방식과 비교하였을 때 PSNR 측면과 주관적 품질에서 이득이 있음을 보였다.

This paper presents an improved learning-based visual inspection method for auto parts inspection in severe lighting changes. Automobile sunroof frames are produced automatically by robots in most production lines. In the sunroof frame manufacturing process, there is a quality problem with some parts such as volts are missed. Instead of manual sampling inspection using some mechanical jig instruments, a learning-based machine vision system was proposed in the previous research[1]. But, in applying the actual sunroof frame production process, the inspection accuracy of the proposed vision system is much lowered because of severe illumination changes. In order to overcome this capricious environment, some selective feature vectors and cascade classifiers are used for each auto parts. And we are able to improve the inspection accuracy through the re-learning concept for the misclassified data. The effectiveness of the proposed visual inspection method is verified through sufficient experiments in a real sunroof production line.
