In this paper, it is presented the efficient system for data recognition using the proposed binary code images. The proposed algorithm finds the position of binary image. Through the process of the block region classification, it is classified each block with the edge region using the value of gray level only. Each block region is divided horizontal and vertical edge region. If horizontal edge region blocks are classified over six blocks in any region, the proposed algorithm should search the vertical edge region in the start point of the horizontal edge region. If vertical edge region blocks were found over ten blocks in vertical region, the code image would found. Practical code region is acquired from the rate of the total edge region that is computed from the binary image that is processed with the average value. In case of the wrong rate, it is restarted the code search in the point after start point and the total process is followed. It has a short time than the before process time because it had classified block information. The block processing is faster thant the total process. The proposed system acquires the image from the digital camera and makes binary image from the acquired image. Finally, the proposed system extracts various characters from the binary image.

In this paper, we propose a license plate locating algorithm by using SVM. Tipically, the features regarding license plate format include height-to-width ratio, color, and spatial frequency. The method is dived into three steps which are image acquisition, detecting license plate candidate regions, verifying the license plate accurately. In the course of detecting license plate candidate regions, color filtering and edge detecting are performed to detect candidate regions, and then verify candidate region using Support Vector Machines(SVM) with DCT coefficients of candidates. It is possible to perform reliable license plate location bemuse we can protect false detection through these verification process. We validate our approach with experimental results.

Accurately segmenting lumen border in intravascular ultrasound images (IVUS) is very important to study vascular wall architecture for diagnosis of the cardiovascular diseases. After each of IVUS image is transformed to a polar coordinated image, initial points are detected using wavelet transform. Then, lumen border is initialized as the set of important points using non parametric probability density function and smoothing function by removing outlier initial points occurred by noises and artifacts. Finally, polynomial curve fitting is applied to obtain real lumen border using filtered important points. The evaluation of proposed method was performed with related method and the proposed method produced accurate lumen contour detection when compared to another method in most types of IVUS images.

In this paper, we propose method of generation of depth map using vanishing line and texture. vanishing line is generated by parallel lines in image. For generate vanishing line, show boundary of particular angle through Gabor Filter and extract line through Hough Transform. Initial Depth Map is estimated based on vanisihng line and combine Relative Depth map that generated using Texture Cue. The proposed algorithm advanced due to combine Initial Depth Map and Relative Depth Map.

An intertidal topography is continuously changed due to morphodynamics processes. Detection and measurement of topographic change for a tidal flat is important to make an integrated coastal area management plan as well as to carry out sedimentologic study. The objective of this study is to generate intertidal DEM using leveling data and waterlines extracted from optical and microwave remotely sensed data in a relatively short period. Waterline is defined as the border line between exposed tidal flat and water body. The contour of the terrain height in tidal flat is equivalent to the waterline. One can utilize satellite images to generate intertidal DEM over large areas. Extraction of the waterline in a SAR image is a difficult task to perform partly because of the presence of speckle and partly because of similarity between the signal returned from the sea surface and that from the exposed tidal flat surface or land. Waterlines in SAR intensity and coherence map can effectively be extracted with MSP-RoA edge detector. From multiple images obtained over a range of tide elevation, it is possible to build up a set of heighted waterline within intertidal zone, and then a gridded DEM can be interpolated. We have tested the proposed method over the Gomso Bay, and succeeded in generating intertidal DEM with relatively high accuracy.

We proposed a new directional edge based interpolation, DEBI, by combining two weighted directional information to reduce blurred edges and annoying artifacts. Four isotropic gradient masks are employed in defining edge directions and they are proven to hold a first order derivative relation with respect to a rotating coordinate. Two minimum gradients among four absolute directional results are shown to be sufficient to describe slant edges efficiently. Compared with widely used bilinear and bicubic interpolation methods, the proposed algorithm results in a noticeable improvement along edge area.

This paper suggests a new algorithm of automatic mesh generation over planar domains with arbitrarily shaped boundaries and control curves. The algorithm is based on the method of recursively subdividing the domain by the path connecting, with minimum penalty value, two points on the super-loop, which consists of the boundaries and the control curves, The algorithm is not subject to any limitation on the shape of the domain, and its process can be fully automated. Therefore, this algorithm can be implemented into computer programs which require minimal user intervention while generating finite element meshes over complicated domains. This algorithm can also be easily extended for application to the generation of meshes over curved surfaces, or to the adaptive mesh generation.

In this paper, we propose a soft demapping method for 64-ary APSK in the DVB-S3 system. The proposed method in this paper uses the hard decision threshold (HDT) line for each constituent bit in a symbol, and calculates the soft bit information with the distance between the HDT line and the detected symbol. If the HDT lines are defined in a simple manner, the complexity to estimate soft information can be largely reduced compared with the maximum likelihood detection (MLD) which has an exponential complexity. By considering this, we first derive HDT lines for each constituent bit for a 64-APSK symbol, and propose a method to calculate soft bit information. We simulate the BER performance of the proposed scheme by using a turbo codes which requires soft-input-soft-output information, and compare it that of the MLD. The result show that the proposed scheme produces approximating performance to MLD with largely reduced complexity.

본 논문에서는 2D-to-3D 변환을 위한 기하구조 기반 깊이 추정에 적합한 소실점 검출 기법을 제안한다. 3D 공간에서 평행한 직선들은 2D 공간으로의 투시영상에서 시점에서 멀어질수록 간격이 좁아지고, 결국에는 한 점으로 수렴하게 된다. 수렴된 점을 소실점(vanishing point)이라 하고, 소실점을 거쳐 지나는 직선들을 소실선(vanishing lines)이라고 한다. 일반적으로, 인간은 소실선과 소실점을 추정한 2D 영상에서 소실점이 관찰자 시점으로부터 제일 먼 지점이라는 인식을 이용하여 깊이 정보를 인지할 수 있다. 전경영역과 배경영역 간의 경계에서는 수직성분을 가진 선들이 생성되어 올바른 소실점을 검출하는데 방해가 될 수 있다. 그렇기 때문에 본 논문에서는 수직성분을 가진 선들을 제거하여 소실점을 탐색하는 기법을 제안한다.

모양 정보를 이용하는 내용기반 영상 검색 시스템에서 검색 정확도는 시스템에서 사용되는 모양 기술자에 매우 의존한다. 정확한 검색을 위해서 기술자는 이동, 회전, 스케일에 불변해야 한다. 본 논문에서는 모멘트 불변량과 푸리에 기술자를 복합적으로 사용하는 유사도 기법을 제시한다. 이 방법은 하나의 불변량 기술자를 사용하는 것보다 더 우수한 결과를 나타내었다. 푸리에 기술자와 네 개의 모멘트 불변량(Hu의 모멘트 불변량, Taubin의 모멘트 불변량, Flusser의 모멘트 불변량, Zernike 모멘트 불변량)을 구현하여 성능을 측정하였다. 영상분할된 이진 영상 데이터베이스로부터 각 기술자의 검색 정확도를 계산하였다. 실험 결과 경계선에 기초하는 푸리에 기술자와 영역에 기초하는 모멘트 불변량을 동시에 사용하는 방법이 영상 검색에 있어서 우수한 성능을 보였다.
