In this paper, we proposed a postprocessing algorithm for quantization effects reduction in block coded images using the block classification and adaptive filtering. The proposed method consists of classification, adaptive inter-block filtering, and intra-block filtering. First, each block is classified into one of seven classes based on the characteristics of 8${\times}$8 DCT coefficients. Then each block boundary is filtered by adaptive inter-block filters according to the block classification. Finally for blocks which are classified into edge block, intra-block filtering is peformed. Experimental results show that the proposed method gives better results than the conventional methods from both a subjective and an objective viewpoint.

In this paper, we propose a band stop filter(BSF) for reducing drag-like effect of the low pass filter(LPF), a block by block adaptive filtering method, and a motion adaptive filtering method, which show better results in terms of PSNR or human visual perception compared to the conventional method using LPF. The BSF improves the draglike effects of the low pass filter by passing temporal high frequency components of video sequences which correspond to objects with large motion. The proposed adaptive methods also improve the conventional adaptive filtering by modifying the conventional algorithm and applying the algorithms for small blocks. The simulation results show that the proposed filtering methods show better results in terms of PSNR and subjective tests in most cases. Also in case of block by block adaptive filtering, it is verified that the application of the algorithm for smaller block gives better results.

We had proposed fast thermal stress estimation methodology for the components on system board when the system is stationary within specific ambient air temperature. Now, we will propose one efficient thermal stress estimation methodology, block adaptive filtering methodology, for the FPD electronic system board which is enclosed by mechanical cover.

In a block adaptive filtering procedure, the filter coefficients are adjusted once per each output block while maintaining performance comparable to that of widely used LMS adaptive filtering in which the filter coefficients are adjusted once per each output data sample. An efficient implementation of block adaptive filter is possible by means of discrete transform technique which has cyclic convolution property and fast algorithms. In this paper, the block adaptive filtering using Fermat Number Transform (FNT) is investigated to exploit the computational efficiency and less quantization effect on the performance compared with finite precision FFT realization. And this has been verified by computer simulation for several applications including adaptive channel equalizer and system identification.

본 논문에서는 블록 분류와 적응적 필터링을 이용하여 블록 기반 부호화에서의 블록화 현상을 제거하는 후처리 방법을 제안하였다. 제안한 방법에서는 블록 분류, 적응적인 블록 간 필터링, 및 블록 내 필터링의 단계로 이루어진다. 먼저, 각 블록을 8$\times$8 DCT 계수 분포에 따라 7개의 클래스로 분류하고, 인접한 두 블록의 클래스 걸보에 따라 적응적인 블록 간 필터링을 수행한다. 그리고 복잡한 클래스로 분류된 블록에 대하여 에지맵을 이용한 블록 내 필터링을 수행한다. 실험결과로부터 제안한 방법이 기존의 방법에 비하여 객관적 화질 및 주관적 화질 측면에서 보다 우수함을 확인하였다.

In hands-free telephone systems, the received speech signal is fed back to the microphone and constitutes the so-called echo. To cancel the effect of this time-varying echo path, it is necessary to device an adaptive filter between the receiving and the transmitting ends. For a typical FIR realization, the length of the fullband adaptive filter results in high computational complexity and low convergence rate. Consequently, subband adaptive filtering schemes have been proposed to improve the performance. In this work, we use deterministic approach to analyze the relationship between fullband and subband adaptive filtering structures. With block adaptive filtering structure as an intermediate stage, the analysis is divided into two parts. First, to avoid aliasing, it is found that the matrix of block adaptive filters is in the form of pseudocirculant, and the elements of this matrix are the polyphase components of the fullband adaptive filter. Second, to transmit the near-end voice signal faithfully, the analysis and the synthesis filter banks in the subband adaptive filtering structure must form a perfect reconstruction pair. Using polyphase representation, the relationship between the block and the subband adaptive filters is derived.

In this paper, we propose a noise estimation method for noise reduction. It is based on block and pixel-based noise estimation. We assume that an input image is contaminated by the additive white Gaussian noise. Thus, we use an adaptive Gaussian filter and estimate the amount of noise. It computes the standard deviation of each block and estimation is performed on pixel-based operation. The proposed algorithm divides an input image into blocks. This method calculates the standard deviation of each block and finds the minimum standard deviation block. The block in flat region shows well noise and filtering effects. Blocks which have similar standard deviation are selected as test blocks. These pixels are filtered by adaptive Gaussian filtering. Then, the amount of noise is calculated by the standard deviation of the differences between noisy and filtered blocks. Experimental results show that our proposed estimation method has better results than those by existing estimation methods.

본 논문에서는 블록 분류와 적응적 필터링을 이용하여 블록 기반 부호화에서의 양자화 잡음을 제거하는 후처리 방법을 제안하였다. 제안한 방법에서는 블록 분류, 적응적인 블록 간 필터링, 및 블록 내 필터링의 단계로 이루어진다. 먼저, 각 블록을 8x8 DCT 계수 분포에 따라 7개의 클래스로 분류하고, 인접한 두 클래스 정보에 따라 적응적인 블록 간 필터링을 수행한다. 그리고 에지 블록으로 분류된 블록에 대하여 에지맵을 이용한 블록 내 필터링을 수행한다. 실험결과로부터 제안한 방법이 기존의 방법에 비하여 객관적 화질 측면에서는 유사하지만, 주관적 화질 측면에서 보다 우수함을 확인하였다.

In this work, we propose new method of sigma filtering for efficient filtering and preserving edge regions in DCT Domain. In block-based image compression technique, the image is first divided into non-overlapping $8{\times}8$ blocks. Then, the two-dimensional DCT is computed for each $8{\times}8$ block. Once the DCT coefficients are obtained, they are quantized using a specific quantization table. Quantization of the DCT coefficients is a lossy process, and in this step, noise is added. In this work, we combine IDCT matrix and filter matrix to a new matrix to simplify filtering process to remove noise after IDCT in spatial domain, for each $8{\times}8$ DCT coefficient block, we determine whether this block is edge or homogeneous region. If this block is edge region, we divide this $8{\times}8$ block into four $4{\times}4$ sub-blocks, and do filtering process for sub-blocks which is homogeneous region. By this process, we can remove blocking artifacts efficiently preserving edge regions at the same time.

A new 2-D block Kalman filtering method which uses a nonlinear function is presented to generate a more accurate filtered estimate of a range image that has been corrupted by additive noise. Novel 2-D block Kalman filtering method is constructed of the conventional method and nonlinear function which utilizes to control estimation error. We show that novel 2-D Kalman filtering method using a nonlinear function is effective at reducing the additive noise, not distorting shape edges.
