본 논문에서는 투영된 모션과 히스토그램 인터섹션을 이용한 노이즈에 강건한 물체추적 방법을 제안한다. 기존의 방법은 템플릿 매칭, 물체의 경계선 재 검출, 물체의 움직임 정보 등을 사용하여 물체추적을 하였으나, 템플릿 매칭의 경우 많은 계산 시간을 요구하며 경계선을 재 검출하는 경우 윤곽선이 잘못 설정되는 경우가 있고 물체의 움직임 정보를 사용하는 경우에는 움직이는 카메라에서 움직이는 물체만을 추적하기가 쉽지 않은 단점이 있다. 본 논문에서는 투영된 모션과 질의 영상의 템플릿 마스크를 사용하여 물체의 이동, 회전과 스케일을 고려한 노이즈에 강건한 물체추적 기법을 제안한다. 질의영상은 영상분할 후 영역선택을 통하여 구성하고 물체의 인식은 색상을 이용한 히스토그램 인터섹션 기법을 사용한다. 물체의 이동은 가로 및 세로의 밝기 값을 1차원 신호로 투영하여 개략적인 움직임을 감지하고 이동에 대한 에러를 보정하며 회전과 스케일의 변화는 질의 영상의 템플릿 마스크를 이동하여 회전과 스케일에 맞게 변경하여 감지한다

Prostate images have been used in the diagnosis of prostate using TRUS images being relatively cheap. Ultrasound images are recorded with 3 dimension and one diagnostic exam is made with a number of the images. A doctor can see 2 dimensional images on the monitor sequentially and 3 dimensional ones to diagnose a disease. To display the images, 2-d images are used with raw 2-d ones, but 3-d images need to be segmented by the prostates and their backgrounds to be seen from different angles and with cut images of inner side. Especially on detecting the boundary, the ones in the middle of all images are easy to find the boundary but the base and apex of the images are hard to do it since there are lots of uncertain boundary. So, in this paper we propose the method that applies an average shape model and detects the boundary, and shows its superiority compared to the existing methods with experiments.

A river boundary is defined as the intersection between a main stream of a river and the land. Mapping of the river boundary is important for the protection of the properties in river areas, the prevention of flooding and the monitoring of the topographic changes in river areas. However, the utilization of the ground surveying technologies is not efficient for the mapping of the river boundary due to the irregular surfaces of river zones and the dynamic changes of water level of a river stream. Recently, the spatial information data sets such as the airborne LiDAR and aerial images are widely used for coastal mapping due to the acquisition of the topographic information without human accessibility. Due to these advantages, this research proposes a semi-automatic method for mapping of the river boundary using the spatial information data set such as the airborne LiDAR and the aerial photographs. Multiple image processing technologies such as the image segmentation algorithm and the edge detection algorithm are applied for the generation of the 3D river boundary using the aerial photographs and airborne topographic LiDAR data. Check points determined by the experienced expert are used for the measurement of the horizontal and vertical accuracy of the generated 3D river boundary. Statistical results show that the generated river boundary has a high accuracy in horizontal and vertical direction.

기존 홍채 인식 시스템의 접안식 영상 획득상 불편한 사항을 해결하고 인식의 정확도를 높이기 위해서는 원격으로 영상을 획득할 수 있어야 하며, 홍채의 경계선을 정확하게 검출할 수 있어야 한다. 또한 기존 홍채 영역 검출 방법의 문제점인 홍채를 원으로 가정하는 방식을 개선할 필요성이 있다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 조명에 의한 glint 정보와 intensity gradient를 이용하여 홍채의 경계를 산출하였으며, 아울러 스테레오스코픽 카메라를 이용하여 홍채 경계의 3차원 좌표를 획득함으로써, 카메라를 기준으로 하는 홍채의 주시각을 찾아 홍채의 원형 변환에 활용하도록 하였다.

The new approach was proposed which uses Shannon function based on variable length in order to detect the edges of image. The proposed casted the detection of edges in images on the space information of the images. In addition the algorithm which measures the possibility of edges was proposed. Lots of simulations showed that the approach in this paper was more good than the conventional methods in detecting meaningful discontinuities in gray level.

This paper presents a method for line segment grouping used for detection of various building roofs. First, by using edge preserving filtering. noise is eliminated and then images are segmented by watershed algorithm, which preserves location of edge pixels. To extract line segments between control points from boundary of each region, we calculate curvature of each pixel on the boundary and then find the control points. Line linking is performed according to direction and length of line segments and finally the location of line segments is adjusted using gradient magnitudes of all pixels of the line segment. The algorithm has been applied to aerial imagery and the results show accurate building roof detection.

Prostate is only an organ of men. To diagnose the disease of the prostate, generally transrectal ultrasound(TRUS) images are used. Detecting its boundary is a challenging and difficult task due to weak prostate boundaries, speckle noise and the short range of gray levels. In this paper a method for automatic prostate segmentation in TRUS images using Support Vector Machine(SVM) is presented. This method involves preprocessing, extracting Gabor feature, training, and prostate segmentation. The speckle reduction for preprocessing step has been achieved by using stick filter and top-hat transform has been implemented for smoothing. Gabor filter bank for extraction of rotation-invariant texture features has been implemented. SVM for training step has been used to get each feature of prostate and nonprostate. Finally, the boundary of prostate is extracted. A number of experiments are conducted to validate this method and results shows that the proposed algorithm extracted the prostate boundary with less than 10% relative to boundary provided manually by doctors.

This research features a method that quantitatively evaluates the performance of edge detection algorithms. Contrary to conventional methods that evaluate the performance of edge detection as a function of the amount of noise added to he input image, the proposed method is capable of assessing the performance of edge detection algorithms based on chosen parameters that influence the performance of edge detection. We have proposed a quantitative measure, called average performance index, that compares the average performance of different edge detection algorithms. We have applied the method to the commonly used edge detectors, Sobel, LOG(Laplacian of Gaussian), and Canny edge detectors for noisy images that contain straight line edges and curved line edges. Two kinds of noises i.e, Gaussian and impulse noises, are used. Experimental results show that our method of quantitatively evaluating the performance of edge detection algorithms can facilitate the selection of the optimal dge detection algorithm for a given task.
