CONFERENCE PROCEEDINGS FREE ACCESSImage coding for edge retention using adaptive KL transform is investigated. The pixel blocks are classified into subsets of blocks according to their edge contents and orientations. Five covariance matrices are calculated and five matrices of KL transform (adaptive KL transform) are designed for each class. In practice, images are separated into two frequency components, that are low and high frequency components. The DCT is used for image coding of the low frequency components. Adaptive KLT is used for edge images coding (high frequency components). The method for edge images coding is compared with a method using the DCT and the effectiveness of using adaptive KL transform is examined.View full abstractDownload PDF (713K) -

CONFERENCE PROCEEDINGS FREE ACCESSThis paper describes a partially decodable method using modified Golomb-Rice code. When an image of quite large size is represented in a display, the shrinked image or a part of the image are displayed. Many users often hope to view the desired part of the image with higher resolution by enlargement or to see the parts of the image outside of the displayed area by scrolling. In such cases, it is needed that any part of encoded bit stream can be decoded. That is to say, the code should be able to be decoded not only from the top of code sequence but also from any position. In our method, we realized the partially decodable coding method by using a special all 1 digits code of desired length for block detection.View full abstractDownload PDF (694K) -

CONFERENCE PROCEEDINGS FREE ACCESSIn this paper, we propose one-dimentional reversible two-channel filter banks. Up to now, only reversible filter banks (reversible wavelet transforms) have been proposed which correspond to particular perfect reconstruction filters with (taps of lowpass filter)^*(taps of highpass filter) being 2^*2,1^*3,5^*3,2^*6. In this paper, we propose reversible filter banks which correspond to general perfect reconstruction filters with (2N)^*(2N), (2N+1)^*(2M+1). Firstly, reversible filter banks of 2^*2 and 1^*3 are shown and then various reversible filter banks are derived by combining them. The lossless and lossy compression efficiencies of the proposed method are compared with conventional methods in consideration of their application to unified lossless and lossy coding of still images. It is shown that compression efficiency of the proposed method is almost the same as conventional methods.View full abstractDownload PDF (583K) -

CONFERENCE PROCEEDINGS FREE ACCESSRecently MPEG-2 Transport Streams (TS) become widely use for digital broadcasting services. For switching programs or inserting advertisement between programs, the MPEG-2 TS 'splicing' technique which is prescribed in MPEG-2 standard will be used in the future. In this report, we examine realization methods of splicing based on MPEG-2 standard and its application. Especially we consider creation methods of TS suited for splicing and operation of splicing device. Furthermore we propose more useful splicing methods.View full abstractDownload PDF (844K) -

CONFERENCE PROCEEDINGS FREE ACCESSWe previously proposed a new disparity compensation scheme using bilinear transform with variable-size-patches for stereo video coding. This paper describes performance of several evaluation parameters which are utilized for detecting disparity vectors. Simulation results indicate that energy of AC components of disparity compensated prediction error signals in each block composed of 8×8 pels where DCT is carried out is the best of the above parameters in terms of coding performance and computational load. In addition, incorporation of a coding rate of disparity vectors into the evaluation parameter as well as increase of kinds of patch-size can further improve coding performance.View full abstractDownload PDF (657K) -

CONFERENCE PROCEEDINGS FREE ACCESSThis paper proposes a new region-oriented coding scheme of still images based on Voronoi diagrams. In this scheme, first an image is partitioned into Voronoi regions so that their boundaries can fit well the principal contours in the image. Then image signals in each Voronoi region are encoded using orthogonal transform. We introduce the hierarchical renewal method of positions of generators to improve performance of the segmentation. And the adaptive transform method which conducts one-dimensional DCT twice is utilized to reduce the amount of computation required for transform coding. Furthermore, this paper describes a technique which optimizes representative values of linear quantizers for DCT coefficients. Simulation results indicate that the proposed coding scheme achieves the almost same coding performance as the KLT-based scheme, although the former can remarkably reduce computational load compared with the latter.View full abstractDownload PDF (770K) -

CONFERENCE PROCEEDINGS FREE ACCESSWe are investigating the important physical factors for the reproduction of the high order artistic impression in a display of images. We have considered the deterioration of "image depth" caused by the nonlinear gamma. In this report, we have corrected a gamma to a constant value γ=3.0 which is inverse characteristic of the input system independent of signal level. As a result of an assessment test, the assessment on "image depth" is improved greatly and we have confirmed that gamma characteristic is important not only for the reproduction of "image depth" but for the reproduction of the high order sensation. For instance, the nobility of an reproduced images is greatly improved.View full abstractDownload PDF (640K) -

CONFERENCE PROCEEDINGS FREE ACCESSWe are investigating the important physical factors for the difficult reproduction of high order artistic impression in a display of images. We have found a key assessment word "image depth" describes appropriately the high order subjective sensation that is indispensable for the display of extra high quality images. Related to the depth of images, Cross modulation among R, G and B signals is the newly discovered important physical factor affecting the display quality. As a result of an assessment test, we have confirmed that the cross modulation characteristic deteriorates the image depth. We have defined the characteristic of cross modulation to guarantee "the color difference is smaller than 1". We have developed a display which satisfy the given characteristics.View full abstractDownload PDF (839K) -

CONFERENCE PROCEEDINGS FREE ACCESSWe are investigating the important physical factors for the reproduction of the high order artistic impression in a display of images. We have considered the deterioration of "image depth" caused by the aliasing generated by that the structure of phosphor of a CRT display. In this report, we have simulated the effect comparing the simulated images of the phosphor structure of the Aperture Grill type and the Shadow Mask type (dot trio). As a result of an assessment test, we have obtained that the Aperture Grill type destroy "image depth" than the Shadow Mask type (dot trio). The destruction is clear in paintings of landscapes which contains much information of the "image depth".View full abstractDownload PDF (814K) -

CONFERENCE PROCEEDINGS FREE ACCESSVisual accommodative responses to multiple motion patterns are examined using an infrared optometer. The stimuli are compound waves (Fourier stimuli) consisting of two drifting sinusoidal waves with opposite motion directions and amplitude-modulated waves (non-Fourier stimuli) whose carrier and signal sinusoidal components move in opposite directions. Accommodative responses are measured while each component wave's motion is paid attention to. It is shown that there exist two kinds of accommodative states which accompany two kinds of motion appearance characteristics depending on which component wave's motion observers pay attention to, irrespective of the viewing distance, and that the degree of the retinal image's blur becomes larger with a decrease in the spatial frequency of the attention-getting component wave. These results suggest that accommodation for motion images is determined based on the interaction between the accommodation mechanism and the motion detecting mechanism.View full abstractDownload PDF (1026K) -

CONFERENCE PROCEEDINGS FREE ACCESSWe examined the relationship between information as it is perceived by the human visual and vestibular systems. In this experiment, we used images from horizontally rotated camera for the visual information, and displayed these images through a head mounted display. Also, we set up an angular acceleration using a turntable as information to be perceived by the vestibular system. The direction of rotated cameras and the turn table were separately controlled, and the direction were varied. From the results of this experiment, we found that the human visual system hold a dominant position in the case of low stumili for the vestibular system, and the human visual and vestibular system fulfill excessively in the case of perceptible stimuli for the vestibular system.View full abstractDownload PDF (744K) -

CONFERENCE PROCEEDINGS FREE ACCESSThis paper proposes a new self-localization method using an omnidirectional image sensor which can observe a surrounding environment with 360-degrees of view. The method extracts information which is identical for the position of a sensor and invariant against the rotation of the sensor by generating an autocorrelation image from an observed omnidirectional image. The location of the sensor is identified by evaluating the similarity among the autocorrelation images in low dimensional eigenspaces. We have conducted experiments with real image sequences and examined the performance of the proposed method. The results show that accurate and robust estimation of the sensor's position is possible.View full abstractDownload PDF (1123K) -
