Wang and Ward developed an image contrast enhancement method called WTHE (Weighted and Thresholded Histogram Equalization). In this paper, we propose an improved variant of WTHE called DWTHE(Decomposable WTHE) that enhances WTHE through the use of histogram decomposition. Specifically, DWTHE divides an input histogram by using image's mean brightness or equally-spaced brightness points, computes a probability value for each sub-histogram, modifies the sub-histograms by using those probability values as weights, and then performs histogram equalization on the modified input histogram. As opposed to WTHE that uses a single weight, DWTHE uses multiple weights derived from histogram decomposition. Experimental results show that the proposed method outperforms the previous histogram equalization based methods.

본 논문에서는 Q.Wang & R.K.Ward 가 제안한 WTHE(weighted and thresholded histogram equalization)방법의 enhancement parameters를 주어진 영상의 히스토그램 분포에 따라 적응적으로 제공하는 방법을 제안한다. WTHE는 영상의 히스토그램을 weight와 threshold를 이용하여 변형한 후 히스토그램 평활화(histogram equalization : HE)방법을 수행 함으로써 화질을 개선하는 방법이다. 이 방법은 두 가지 parameters 제어로 기존의 히스토그램 평활화 방법의 단점인 과도한 밝기 변화와 불필요한 artifacts를 줄일 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 WTHE 방법을 좀 더 간편하면서 다양한 분야에 적용하기 위해서 입력 영상에 따라 달라지는 parameters 값을 자동으로 제공하는 적응형 WTHE(Adaptive WTHE : AWTHE) 방법을 제안하고, 제안된 방법의 성능을 실험으로 제시한다.

WThe education information have been increased. Accordingly, the necessary of developing on education information metadata standards has been increased. By the reason, the Korea Education & Research Information Service developed KEM(Korea Educational Metadata) 2.0. And MPEG-7 was developed to describe metadata of multimedia data. In this paper, we developed a education information image retrieval system. This system used XML schema to accept education information image metadata. We integrated contents-based retrieval and a semantic-based retrieval to overcome there problems that content-based retrieval system can not support semantic-based retrieval and a semantic-based retrieval can not support content-based retrieval. As a results, we expect to handle metadata more efficiently.

This study is to assess the effect of potential future climate change on the inflow of agricultural reservoir and its impact to downstream streamflow by reservoir operation for paddy irrigation water supply using the SLURP. Before the future analysis, the SLURP model was calibrated using the 6 years daily streamflow records (1998-200398 and validated using 3 years streamflow data (2004-200698 for a 366.5 $km^2$ watershed including two agricultural reservoirs (Geumgwang8 and Gosam98located in Anseongcheon watershed. The calibration and validation results showed that the model was able to simulate the daily streamflow well considering the reservoir operation for paddy irrigation and flood discharge, with a coefficient of determination and Nash-Sutcliffe efficiency ranging from s 7 to s 9 and 0.5 to s 8 respectively. Then, the future potential climate change impact was assessed using the future wthe fu data was downscaled by nge impFactor method throuih bias-correction, the future land uses wtre predicted by modified CA-Markov technique, and the future ve potentiacovfu information was predicted and considered by the linear regression bpowten mecthly NDVI from NOAA AVHRR ima ps and mecthly mean temperature. The future (2020s, 2050s and 2e 0s) reservoir inflow, the temporal changes of reservoir storaimpand its impact to downstream streamflow watershed wtre analyzed for the A2 and B2 climate change scenarios based on a base year (2005). At an annual temporal scale, the reservoir inflow and storaimpchange oue, anagricultural reservoir wtre projected to big decrease innautumnnunder all possiblmpcombinations of conditions. The future streamflow, soossmoosture and grounwater recharge decreased slightly, whtre as the evapotransporation was projected to increase largely for all possiblmpcombinations of the conditions. At last, this study was analysed contribution of weather, vegetation and land use change to assess which factor biggest impact on agricultural reservoir and stream watershed. As a result, weather change biggest impact on agricultural reservoir inflow, storage, streamflow, evapotranspiration, soil moisture and groundwater recharge.
