In this paper, we propose an efficient image size selection method for video-based point cloud compression. The current MPEG video-based point cloud compression reference encoding process configures a threshold on the size of images while converting point cloud data into images. Because the converted image is compressed and restored by the legacy video codec, the size of the image is one of the main components in influencing the compression efficiency. If the image size can be made smaller than the image size determined by the threshold, compression efficiency can be improved. Here, we studied how to improve the compression efficiency by selecting the best-fit image size generated during video-based point cloud compression. Experimental results show that the proposed method can reduce the encoding time by 6 percent without loss of coding performance compared to the test model 15.0 version of video-based point cloud encoder.

In this paper, we present a 3D reconstruction method of color volume data for a computerized human atlas. Binary volume rendering which takes the advantages of object-order ray traversal and run-length encoding visualizes 3D organs at an interactive speed in a general PC without the help of specific hardwares. This rendering method improves the rendering speed by simplifying the determination of the pixel value of an intermediate depth image and applying newly developed normal vector calculation method. Moreover, we describe the 3D boundary encoding that reduces the involved data considerably without the penalty of image quality. The interactive speed of the binary rendering and the storage efficiency of 3D boundary encoding will accelerate the development of the PC-based human atlas.

In this paper, we have proposed a band stop filter (BSF) for pre-processing of image sequences before encoding. By pixel-wise temporal filtering of the image sequences using the BSF, the bandwidth and noise of the signal are reduced, while preserving the image quality in view of human visual perceptions. As a result, when compared to the original image sequences, te pre-filtered image sequence requires lower bit-rates for encoding, while there is not much degradation in quality. Also, it has been shown that the proposed BSF causes less smearing and blurring than the conventional recursive low pass filter for bandwidth and noise reductions.

A new stereoscopic codec. structure using MPEG-2 multiview profile is presented in this paper. In the suggested codec., the left image is coded with motion estimation in the base layerand the right image is coded with disparity estimation in the enhancement layer. Since it is possible to calculate rough motion of the right image sequence with disparity and motion of the left image sequence, motion compensation of the enhancement layer is performed without motion estimation. Since the proposed codec. does not perform motion estimation in the enhancement layer encoding, it is simple and reduces the encoding time. We compared the PSNR of encoded image with three different structured codec., and the experimental results show that suggested codec. has comparable with other codecs.

This paper proposes on the implementation of efficient image transmission system by generation and protection of watermark signals. For this, the image structure understanding is performed for improving the image quality and the generation of watermark signals. Then, the histogram is constructed and the watermark signals are selected from this. At this stage, by embedding of the coefficients of curve fittness into the lower 4 its of the image data pixels, image quality degradation due to the embedding of watermark signals are prevented. Finally, turbo encoding is performed to solve the problem of watermark signal losses that may occur on channels when transmitting. Especially, a new interleaving method called semi-random interleaver is proposed.

Free viewpoint TV can provide multi-angle view point images for viewer needs. In the real world, But all angle view point images can not be captured by camera. Only a few any angle view point images are captured by each camera. Group of the captured images is called multi-view image. Therefore free viewpoint TV wants to production of virtual sub angle view point images form captured any angle view point images. Interpolation methods are known of this problem general solution. To product interpolated view point image of correct angle need to depth image of multi-view image. Unfortunately, multi-view video including depth image is necessary to develop a new compression encoding technique for storage and transmission because of a huge amount of data. Layered depth image is an efficient representation method of multi-view video data. This method makes a data structure that is synthesis of multi-view color and depth image. This paper proposed enhanced compression method using layered depth image representation and H.264/AVC video coding technology. In experimental results, confirmed high compression performance and good quality reconstructed image.

The Image Signal Processor (ISP) converts RAW images captured by the camera sensor into user-preferred sRGB images. While RAW images contain more meaningful information for image processing than sRGB images, RAW images are rarely shared due to their large sizes. Moreover, the actual ISP process of a camera is not disclosed, making it difficult to model the inverse process. Consequently, research on learning the conversion between sRGB and RAW has been conducted. Recently, the ParamISP[1] model, which directly incorporates camera parameters (exposure time, sensitivity, aperture size, and focal length) to mimic the operations of a real camera ISP, has been proposed by advancing the simple network structures. However, existing studies, including ParamISP[1], have limitations in modeling the camera ISP as they do not consider the degradation caused by lens shading, optical aberration, and lens distortion, which limits the restoration performance. This study introduces Positional Encoding to enable the camera ISP neural network to better handle degradations caused by lens. The proposed positional encoding method is suitable for camera ISP neural networks that learn by dividing the image into patches. By reflecting the spatial context of the image, it allows for more precise image restoration compared to existing models.

In this paper, we construct real-time moving picture encoder based on fractal theory by using general purpose digital signal processors. The constructed encoder is implemented using two fixed-point general DSPs (ADSP2181) and performs image encoding by three stage pipeline structure. In the first pipeline stage, the image grabber acquires image data from NTSC standard image signals and stores digital image into frame memory. In the second stage, the main controller encode image dada using fractal algorithm. The last stage, output controller perform Huffman coding and result the coded data via RS422 port. The performance tests of the constructed encoder shows over 10 frames/sec encoding speed for QCIF data when all the frames are encoded. When we encode the images using the interframe and redundency based on the proposed algorithms, encoding speed increased over 30 frames/sec in average.

Studies on image information processing have been performed since long time ago because in daily life most of information are acquired by the since of sight. Since there should be a lot of data to describe image as a digital form, data compression is required in order to store or transmit digital image. Lately among most of image compression methods adopted on image compression standards, transform coding methods have been primarily used which transforms the correlations between pixels of image on frequency domain before image compression. It is blown that the standard methods using especially DCT features blocking effect which is the major cause of degrading the quality of image at high compression rate. Fractal encoding using quadtree partition is applied after reducing original image, and we are to find a optimal encoding for the number of scaling bit and offset bit.
