The most widespread techniques for DEM generation are stereoscopy for optical sensor images and SAR interferometry(InSAR) for SAR images. These techniques suffer from certain sensor and processing limitations, which can be overcome by the synergetic use of both sensors and DEMs respectively. This study is associated with improvements of accuracy with consistency of image's characteristics between two different DEMs coming from stereoscopy for the optical images and interferometry for SAR images. The MWD(Multiresolution Wavelet Decomposition) and HPF(High-Pass Filtering), which take advantage of the complementary properties of SAR and stereo optical DEMs, will be applied for the fusion process. DEM fusion is tested with two sets of SPOT and ERS-l/-2 satellite imagery and for the analysis of results, DEM generated from digital topographic map(1 to 5000) is used. As a result of an integration of DEMs, it can more clearly portray topographic slopes and tilts when applying the strengths of DEM of SAR image to DEM of an optical satellite image and in the case of HPF, the resulting DEM.

A real-time face detection is to find human faces robustly under the cluttered background free from the effect of occlusion by other objects or various lightening conditions. We propose a face detection system for real-time applications using wavelet decomposition method based on Gabor features. Firstly, skin candidate regions are extracted from the given image by skin color filtering and projection method. Then Gabor-feature based template matching is performed to choose face cadidate from the skin candidate regions. The chosen face candidate region is transformed into 2-level wavelet decomposition images, from which feature vectors are extracted for classification. Based on the extracted feature vectors, the face candidate region is finally classified into either face or nonface class by the Levenberg-Marguardt back-propagation neural network.

This paper proposes a pre-processing algorithm to improve the coding efficiency of perceptual video coding. First, an input image is decomposed into multiple sub-bands through linear sub-band decomposition. Then, the sub-bands that have low visual sensitivity are suppressed by assigning small gains to them. Experimental results show that if the proposed algorithm is adopted for pre-processing in a High Efficiency Video Coding (HEVC) encoder, it can provide significant bit-saving effects of approximately 12% in low delay mode and 9.4% in random access mode.

본 연구에서는 패턴인식과 영상압축을 목적으로 다치영상의 형태론적 형상분해법을 제안하였다. 다치영상내에 포함된 형상들을 직접적으로 기술하는 방법은 데이터 압축과 계산시간의 측면에서 그 효과를 기대할 수 없다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 2진수로 표현되는 화소 값을 그레이 코드로 변환한 다음, 그레이 코드로 변환된 화소들 중에서 특정비트가 1인 화소들만을 선택해서 얻은 8개의 비트평면 영상에 포함된 형상을 형태론적 멀티모드 형상분해 알고리즘을 적용하여 분해하였다.

In this paper, an effective image restoration using Genetic Algorithm(GA) in wavelet transform region is proposed. First, a wavelet transform is used for decomposition of a blurred image with white Gaussian noise as a preprocessing of the proposed method. The wavelet transform decomposes a degraded image into a wavelet subband coefficient planes. In this wavelet transformed subband coefficient planes, three highest subbands is composed entirely of noise elements on a degraded image. So, these subbands are removed. And remained subbands except for the lowest subband are individually applied to GA. For the performance evaluation, the proposed method is compared with a conventional single GA algorithm and a conventional hybrid method of wavelet transform and GA for a Lenna image and a boat image. As an experimental result, the proposed algorithm is prior to a conventional methods as each PSNR 3.4dB, 1.3dB.

본 논문은 적외선 영상에 B-스플라인 웨이블릿 변환을 적용하여 의사컬러 이미지를 향상시킨 연구이다. 의사컬러 향상은 주파수 손실을 최소화하고 분해능을 향상시키기 위해 B-스플라인을 적용하였고, 웨이블릿 변환하여 RGB 영상을 추출하여 의사변환 하였다. B-스플라인 웨이블릿 변환은 일반적인 웨이블릿 변환에 비해 3dB이상 향상되었다.

Since the birth of Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR), it has been widely used in the military field and so on. However, the existence of speckle noise makes a good deal inconvenience for the subsequent image processing. The continuous development of sparse representation (SR) opens a new field for the speckle suppressing of SAR image. Although the SR de-noising may be effective, the over-smooth phenomenon still has bad influence on the integrity of the image information. In this paper, one novel SAR image de-noising method based on residual image fusion and sparse representation is proposed. Firstly we can get the similar block groups by the non-local similar block matching method (NLS-BM). Then SR de-noising based on the adaptive K-means singular value decomposition (K-SVD) is adopted to obtain the initial de-noised image and residual image. The residual image is processed by Shearlet transform (ST), and the corresponding de-noising methods are applied on it. Finally, in ST domain the low-frequency and high-frequency components of the initial de-noised and residual image are fused respectively by relevant fusion rules. The final de-noised image can be recovered by inverse ST. Experimental results show the proposed method can not only suppress the speckle effectively, but also save more details and other useful information of the original SAR image, which could provide more authentic and credible records for the follow-up image processing.

비밀 통신에서 스테가노그래피는 제3자에게 인지되지 않으면서 비밀 메시지를 송수신한다. 공간 영역 방법에서 비트화 된 정보가 이미지의 분해된 화소 값의 가상 비트 평면에 삽입된다. 즉 비트화 된 비밀 메시지는 커버 매체인 이미지의 최하위 비트(LSB)에 순차적으로 삽입된다. 표준 LSB는 간단하게 적용할 수 있지만 제3자에 의해 쉽게 탐지될 수 있는 단점이 있다. 보안성을 높이기 위해 상위 비트 평면을 이용할 경우 이미지 품질이 떨어질 수 있다. 이 논문에서 lo번째 비트 평면과 수정된 화소 강도 값 분해에 기반한 이미지 스테가노그래피에 한글 비밀 메시지를 은닉하는 방법을 제시한다. 이때 은닉하려는 한글 메시지를 초성, 중성, 종성으로 분해한 후 혼합과정을 적용하여 기밀성과 견고성을 높인다. 제안된 방법의 효율성을 확인하기 위해 PSNR을 이용하였다. 제시된 기법은 상위 비트 평면에 비밀 메시지를 삽입할 경우 BCD와 Fibonacci를 적용한 방법보다 이미지 품질에서 적은 영향을 받는다는 것을 확인하였다. 기준값과 비교했을 때 제안한 방법의 PSNR 값이 적절한 것을 확인하였다.

Medical imaging techniques such as Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI), Computed Tomography (CT) and Ultrasound (US) produce a large amount of digital medical images. Hence, compression of digital images becomes essential and is very much desired in medical applications to solve both storage and transmission problems. But at the same time, an efficient image compression scheme that reduces the size of medical images without sacrificing diagnostic information is required. This paper proposes a novel threshold-based medical image compression algorithm to reduce the size of the medical image without degradation in the diagnostic information. This algorithm discusses a novel type of thresholding to maximize Compression Ratio (CR) without sacrificing diagnostic information. The compression algorithm is designed to get image with high optimum compression efficiency and also with high fidelity, especially for Peak Signal to Noise Ratio (PSNR) greater than or equal to 36 dB. This value of PSNR is chosen because it has been suggested by previous researchers that medical images, if have PSNR from 30 dB to 50 dB, will retain diagnostic information. The compression algorithm utilizes one-level wavelet decomposition with threshold-based coefficient selection.
