Image Processing은 Image Data가 대량이고 내재된 정보가 병렬로 연관성을 가진다는 측면에서 실시간 처리가 용이하지 알다. 본 연구에서는 High Speed Real Time Image Processing을 위한 IPU(Image Processing Unit)와 이를 구동하기 위한 High Speed Real Time image Processing Language인 IPASM(Image Processing Assembly)을 제안한다. 우선 IPU의 기본개념을 설명하고 IPU의 구현을 위한 IPLU(Image Processing Logic Unit)를 설계한다. 그 후 Window98환경에서 구동 가능한 IPASM Interpreter를 실제로 제작하여 IPU의 동작방식을 간접적으로 진단한다.

This paper proposes a new real-time 2-D convolver filter architecture wihtout using any multiplier. To meet the massive amount of computations for real-time image processing, several commercial 2-D convolver chips have many multipliers occupying large VLSI area. Te proposed architecture using only one shift-and-accumulator can reduce the chip size by more than 70% of commercial 2-D convolver filter chips and can meet the real-time image processing srequirement, i.e., the standard of CCIR601. In addition, the proposed chip can be used for not only 2-D image processing but also 1-D signal processing and has bood scalability for higher speed applications. We have simulated the architecture by using VHDL models and have performed logic synthesis. We used the samsung SOG cell library (KG60K) and verified completely function and timing simulations. The implemented filter chip consists of only 3,893 gates, operates at 125 MHz and can meet the real-time image processing requirement, that is, 720*480 pixels per frame and 30 frames per second (10.4 mpixels/second).

When a real-time image processing application is implemented with a general-purpose computer, CPU (Central Processing Unit) is usually heavily loaded and in many cases that CPU alone cannot meet the real-time requirement at all. Most modern computers are equipped with powerful Graphics Processing Units (GPUs) to accelerate graphics operations. There is a trend that the power of GPU outgrows that of CPU. If we take advantage of the powerful GPU for more general operations other than pure graphics operations, the processing time can be reduced. In this study, we will present techniques that apply GPU to general operations such as image processing procedures. Our experiment results show that significant speed-up can be achieved by using GPU.

This paper deals with the Cell-based distributed processing for generating free viewpoint images by merging multiple differently focused images. We previously proposed the method of generating free viewpoint images without any depth estimation. However, it is not so easy to realize real-time image reconstruction based on our previous method. In this paper, we discuss the method to reduce the processing time by dimension reduction for image filtering and Cell-based distributed processing. Especially, the method of high-speed image reconstruction by the Cell processor on SONY PLAYSTATION3(PS3) is described in detail. We show some experimental results by using real images and we discuss the possibility of real-time free viewpoint image reconstruction.

A computer vision system applied to an intelligent safety vehicle has been required to be worked on a small sized real time special purposed hardware not on a general purposed computer. In addition, the system should have a high reliability even under the adverse road traffic environment. This paper presents a design and an implementation of an onboard hardware system taking into account for high speed image processing to analyze a road traffic scene. The system is mainly composed of two parts: an early processing module of FPGA and a postprocessing module of DSP. The early processing module is designed to extract several image primitives such as the intensity of a gray level image and edge attributes in a real-time Especially, the module is optimized for the Sobel edge operation. The postprocessing module of DSP utilizes the image features from the early processing module for making image understanding or image analysis of a road traffic scene. The performance of the proposed system is evaluated by an experiment of a lane-related information extraction. The experiment shows the successful results of image processing speed of twenty-five frames of 320$\times$240 pixels per second.

One of the most important design factor for the image tracker is the speed of the data processing which allows real-time operation of the system and provides reasonably accurate performance at the same time. Use of powerful DSP alone does not guarantee to meet such requirement. In this paper, a simple efficient algorithm for real-time multi-target image tracking is suggested. The suggested method is based on a recursive centroiding technique and color table look-up. This method has been successfully implemented in a image processing system for Micro-Robot Soccer Tournament(MIROSOT). This tracker can track positions of a ball, 3 enemies, and 3 agents at the same time. The experimental results show that the processing time for each frame of image is less than 7ms, which is well within the 60Hz sampling interval for real-time operation.

Visible-infrared image fusion is a process of synthesizing an infrared image and a visible image into a fused image. This process synthesizes the complementary advantages of both images. The infrared image is able to capture a target object in dark or foggy environments. However, the utility of the infrared image is hindered by the blurry appearance of objects. On the other hand, the visible image clearly shows an object under normal lighting conditions, but it is not ideal in dark or foggy environments. In this paper, we propose a multi-guided filter and a real-time image fusion method. The proposed multi-guided filter is a modification of the guided filter for multiple guidance images. Using this filter, we propose a real-time image fusion method. The speed of the proposed fusion method is much faster than that of conventional image fusion methods. In an experiment, we compare the proposed method and the conventional methods in terms of quantity, quality, fusing speed, and flickering artifacts. The proposed method synthesizes 57.93 frames per second for an image size of $320{\times}270$. Based on our experiments, we confirmed that the proposed method is able to perform real-time processing. In addition, the proposed method synthesizes flicker-free video.
