It is useful to simulate the human visual function for the purpose of image-processing. In this study, the hardware of the spatial filter with the sensitivity of lateral inhibition is realized by the combination of optical parts with electronic circuits. The diffused film with the characteristics of Gaussian type is prepared as a spatial filter. An object's image is convoluted with the spatial filter. From the difference of the convoluted images, the zero-cross position is detected at video rate. The edge of object is extracted in real-time by the use of this equipment. The resolution of edge changes with the value of the standard deviation of diffused film. In addition, it is possible to extract a directional edge selectively when the spatial filter with directional selectivity is used instead of Gaussian type of spatial filter.

A quick and automatic detection with no harm to the goods is very important task for improving quality control, process control and labour reduction. In real fields of industry, defect detection is mostly accomplished by skillful workers. A narrow band eliminating spatial filter having characteristics of removing the specified spatial frequency is developed by the author, and it is proved that the filter has an excellent ability for on-line and real time detection of surface defect. By the way,. this spatial filter shows a ripple phenominum in filtering characteristics. So, it is necessary to remove the ripple component for the improvement of filter gain, moreover efficiency of defect detection. The spatial filtering method has a remarkable feature which means that it is able to set up weighting function for its own sake, and which can to obtain the best signal relating to the purpose of the measurement. Hence, having an eye on such feature, theoretical analysis is carried out at first for optimal design of narrow band eliminating spatial filter, and secondly, on the basis of above results spatial filter is manufactured, and finally advanced effectiveness of spatial filter is evaluated experimentally.

시간영역 필터와 공간영역 필터를 연결한 움직임 적응적 동영상 잡음 제거기법을 제안한다. 움직임 적응적 시간영역 필터에서는 전처리 공간영역 필터를 활용하여 잡음에 강인한 움직임 검출을 수행하고, 움직임의 양에 따라 적응적으로 필터링 강도를 조절한다. 동영상에 내재된 시간적 연관성을 충분히 활용하기 위해, 잡음이 있는 입력 영상은 시간영역 필터에 의해 처음으로 처리된다. 따라서 시간적 연관성이 큰 동영상에서, 영상의 세밀한 부분을 잘 보존하며 잡음을 제거할 수 있다. 움직임 검출을 위해 사용되는 전처리 공간영역 필터와는 다르게, 후처리 공간영역 필터는 시간영역 필터의 강도와 전처리 공간영역 필터에서 얻어진 공간영역 자기유사성 탐색 결과를 바탕으로 공간영역 필터링을 수행한다.

히스토그램은 여러 가지 응용적인 측면에서 매우 유용한 방법이며, 단순한 계산법과 편리성이 강조되면서, 오늘날 디지털 이미지 프로세싱에서는 기본적인 방법이 되었다. 하지만 히스토그램을 사용하는 방법의 근본적인 한계점은 영상에서 픽셀의 공간적인 위치 정보를 없애 버린다는 것이다. 본 논문은 공간적인 위치정보를 포함한 히스토그램(공간 히스토그램)을 제시하여 영상을 재해석한다. 또한 그 결과를 이용하여 레벨 순서별 Recursive 메디안 필터를 구현 하였다. 제안한 Recursive 메디안 필터는 기존의 Recursive 메디안 필터와 비교 했을 때, 에지 보존 측면에서 상당 부분 개선된 결과를 보였다.

In this paper, we propose a method of applying a lifting-based wavelet domain e-median filter (LBWDEMF) for image restoration. LBWDEMF helps in reducing the number of computations. An e-median filter is a type of modified median filter that processes each pixel of the output of a standard median filter in a binary manner, keeping the output of the median filter unchanged or replacing it with the original pixel value. Binary decision-making is controlled by comparing the absolute difference of the median filter output and the original image to a preset threshold. In addition, the advantage of LBWDEMF is that probabilities of encountering root images are spread over sub-band images, and therefore the e-median filter is unlikely to encounter root images at an early stage of iterations and generates a better result as iteration increases. The proposed method transforms an image into the wavelet domain using lifting-based wavelet filters, then applies an e-median filter in the wavelet domain, transforms the result into the spatial domain, and finally goes through one spatial domain e-median filter to produce the final restored image. Moreover, in order to validate the effectiveness of the proposed method we compare the result obtained using the proposed method to those using a spatial domain median filter (SDMF), spatial domain e-median filter (SDEMF), and wavelet thresholding method. Experimental results show that the proposed method is superior to SDMF, SDEMF, and wavelet thresholding in terms of image restoration.

A straightforward strategy for particle image velocimetry (PIV) interrogation and post-processing has been proposed, aiming at reducing errors and clarifying vortex structures. The interrogation window size should be kept small to reduce bias error and improve spatial resolution. A spatial filter is then applied to the velocity field to reduce random error and clarify flow structure. The performance of three popular spatial filters were assessed: box filter, median filter, and local quadratic polynomial regression filter. In order to quantify random uncertainty, the image matching (IM) method is applied to an experimental dataset of homogeneous and isotropic turbulence (HIT) obtained by 2D-PIV. We statistically analyze the uncertainty propagation through the spatial filters, and verify the reduction in random uncertainty. Moreover, we illustrate that the spatial filters help clarify vortex structures using vortex identification criteria. As a result, PIV random uncertainty was reduced and the vortex structures became clearer by spatial filtering.

본 논문에서는 영상에 포함되어 있는 잡음을 효율적으로 제거하기 위해 원본 영상과 잡음이 포함된 영상 사이의 mean square error (MSE) 추정에 기반한 적응적인 시공간 디노이징 필터(Adaptive Temporal and Spatial De-noising Filter : ATSF)를 제안하였다. 제안하는 디노이징 필터는 잡음이 포함되어 있는 영상에 블록 단위로 적용되며, 시간적 필터인 Multi-Hypothesis Motion Compensated Filter (MHMCF)를 사용하고, 공간적 필터로는 bilateral filter를 사용하였다. 각각의 블록에 대해 시간적 필터와 공간적 필터 중에서 최적의 필터를 선택하기 위해서 잡음이 포함되지 않은 원본 영상과 잡음이 포함된 입력 영상 사이의 MSE를 추정하는 기법을 제안하였다. 디노이징 단계에서 원본 영상이 주어지지 않기 때문에 MSE를 추정하기 위해서, 본 논문에서는 MHMCF가 적용된 블록의 MSE를 수학적으로 예측하고, bilateral filter가 적용된 블록의 MSE를 통계적 선형 모델을 통해 예측하였다. 이렇게 예측된 MSE를 비교하여 더 작은 MSE를 갖는 필터를 선택적으로 매 단위 블록마다 적용하게 된다. 제안된 방법은 시간적 필터와 공간적 필터를 적응적으로 적용함으로써 기존의 디노이징 방법에 비해 객관적 화질 뿐만 아니라 주관적인 화질에서 우수한 성능을 보여준다.

We propose a novel spatial multi-band-stop filter using modified multiple loop array elements to block electromagnetic waves or signals of mobile phones in public facilities. It operates at the following frequency bands: Korean cellular (824 MHz to 894 MHz), Personal Communication Service (PCS) (1.75 GHz to 1.87 GHz), and IMT-2000 (1.92 GHz to 2.17 GHz). Two frequency selective surfaces with modified multiple-loop elements are printed on the top and bottom of a pair-glass pane, which is a pair of glass panes with an air gap between them. A modified multiple-loop element with a meander line is used to make the size of the filter compact. The simulated and measured results show good agreement, which confirms the usefulness of the proposed tri-band spatial filter.

Spatial filters were designed for 1 TW high power phosphate glass laser development. Laser beam should be expanded from 1 mm diameter to 200mm diameter. Pin hole size should be determined and most of incident energy should be transmitted through out to final spatial filter. Each pin hole size is determined by calculating encircled energy for Gaussian beam from the oscillator. The optical tube length of each spatial filter is corrected to have the best collimating quality by scew raytracing through the total system.

This paper describes a new type of the spatial filter detector (SFD) with variable and multi-valued weighting function. This SFD called variable spatial filter detector with multi-valued weighting function (VSFDwMWF) uses current-mode circuits for noise resistance and high-resolution weighting values. Total weighting values consist of 7bit, 6-signal bit and 1-sign bit. We fabricate VSFDwMWF chip using Rohm 0.35${\mu}$m CMOS process. VSFDwMWF chip includes two-dimensional 10${\times}$13 photodiode array and current-mode weighting control circuit. Simulation shows the weighting values are varied and multi-valued by external switching operation. The layout of VSFDwMWF chip is shown.
