본 논문은 단순한 키워드 검색에서 발생하는 오차를 줄이기 위해 이미지의 코너정보와 그레이스케일 히스토그램 정제를 이용한 영상 검색 시스템을 구현하고자 한다. 먼저 원하는 이미지의 특정을 추출하는 단계와 추출된 특징을 분석하는 단계, 확보된 정보를 데이터베이스로부터 검색하는 단계, 그 결과 안에서의 그레이스케일 히스토그램 정제 방법으로 다시 재검색하는 단계, 마지막으로 정확한 정보 추출단계를 거치게 된다. 구현 알고리즘은 검색 단계에 있어서 크게 2단계로 나눠진다. 먼저 이미지를 에지로 변환 코너정보를 추출하는 단계, 코너 점의 픽셀을 3*3으로 나누어 RGB중의 픽셀의 합을 하는 단계, 그 코너 값을 데이터베이스와 비교하는 단계, 최대 500개까지의 추출된 이미지를 데이터베이스에 저장되는 단계로 이루어지며 다음 단계는 원 이미지를 그레이스케일로 변환 등질화하는 단계, 히스토그램 정보 획득하는 단계, 8*8 개의 빈으로 나누어 최대 색상정보 값을 추출하는 단계, 그리고 최대 색상정보 영역을 1단계 결과 값과 비교하여 정확한 검색을 얻는 단계로 구성되며 시뮬레이션 결과는 우수한 정확도를 보여 주고 있다.

Halftoning of gray-scale image is a process to produce a binary image. The error diffusion halftoning method produces high qualify binary image but that has some defects such as sharpening and directional artifacts. We propose the threshold modulation to reduce such defects. The proposed algorithm uses thresholds reflecting local characteristic of image. We calculate thresholds which minimize errors of flat region of each gray-scale level by using a linear gain between original image and error-diffused image and then represent edge by compensating thresholds in proportion to edge information. The proposed method improves on halftone quality by minimizing an error which cause sharpening and directional artifact.

본 논문에서는 객체 위주의 3D 파노라마를 생성하기 위하여 객체를 중심으로 영상을 촬영할 시, 조명의 위치나 방향에 의해 나타나는 영상 내 음영과 같은 휘도의 차이를 보정하는 방법을 제안한다. 제안하는 방법에서는 먼저 촬영한 영상을 그레이스케일 영상으로 변환한 후, 임계값(threshold)을 기반으로 객체 내 어두운 영역과 밝은 영역을 분류하고, 그레이스케일 영상의 히스토그램을 분석하여 분류한 영역의 차이를 완화시킬 수 있는 최적의 휘도 경계 값을 도출한다. 다음으로는 어두운 영역(shadow)과 밝은 영역(non-shadow)에 해당하는 히스토그램의 요소들을 추출하고, 추출한 요소들을 휘도 경계 값으로 이동하여 조명에 의해 발생된 영사의 휘도 차이를 보정한다. 제안한 방법을 건조물 문화재를 중심으로 촬영한 영상에 적용하였을 시, 조명에 의해 발생된 영상 내 급격한 휘도의 차이를 보정할 수 있었으며, 보정된 결과에서는 보정 전 어두운 영역에서는 관찰하기 어려웠던 건조물 문화재의 내부문양과 같은 정보들을 보다 명확히 확인할 수 있었다.

Automatic measurement system is required since cycle time and cost of production are increased by various factors in manual systems. This paper presents a machine vision based prototype measurement system for the automotive axisymmetric shape parts which are generally measured by a manual system that is required the tolerance of the part is very small on each machined surface. This measurement system adopts a method in which optical lens is transferred along the profile of the part to minimize measurement cycle time. The main interest of this paper is a development of an optimum measurement algorithm to the outside diameter of the parts that can be applied to various combinations of hardware. The operating system used to implement the whole system is Window XP and corresponding environment.

The contrast control of images with narrow dynamic range is a simple method among enhancement methods for low intensity of image. Histogram equalization is the most common method for this purpose, which stretches the dynamic range of intensity Conventional methods would fail to enhance images with extremely dark and bright regions, because of not considering the shape of histogram. In this paper, we propose a novel adaptive histogram equalization based on histogram matching with multiple Gaussian transformation function. As a result, output images with a couple of peaks of histogram could be improved and the details such as edges in dark regions could be appeared better than conventional method subjectively.

Recently, much of the intelligent security scenario and criminal investigation demands for matching photo and non-photo. Existing face recognition system can not sufficiently guarantee these needs. In this paper, we propose an algorithm to improve the performance of heterogeneous face recognition systems by reducing the different modality between sketches and photos of the same person. The proposed algorithm extracts each image's texture features through texture descriptors (gray level co-occurrence matrix, multiscale local binary pattern), and based on this, generates a transformation matrix through eigenfeature regularization and extraction techniques. The score value calculated between the vectors generated in this way finally recognizes the identity of the sketch image through the score normalization methods.

This paper propose the method to recognize the lanes and distance between cars in real-time which detects dangerous situations and helps safe driving in the actual road environment. First of all, it extracts the area of interest corresponding to roads and cars from the road image photographed by using the forward-looking camera. Through the hough transform for the area of interest, this study detects linear components and also selects the lane and conducts filtering by calculating probability. And through the shadow threshold analysis of the cars in front within the area of interest, it extracts the objects of cars in front and calculates the distance from cars in front. According to the result of applying the suggested technology to recognize the lane and distance between cars to the road situation for testing, it showed over 95% recognition rate; thus, it has been proved that it can respond to safe driving.

In this paper, we propose a vision based hand motion recognition method for an untouchable user interface of smart devices. First, an original color image is converted into a gray scaled image and its spacial resolution is reduced, taking the small memory and low computational power of smart devices into consideration. For robust recognition of hand motions through separation of horizontal and vertical motions, the horizontal principal area (HPA) and the vertical principal area (VPA) are defined respectively. From the difference images of the consecutively obtained images, the center of gravity (CoG) of the significantly changed pixels caused by hand motions is obtained, and the direction of hand motion is detected by defining the least mean squared line for the CoG in time. For verifying the feasibility of the proposed method, the experiments are carried out with a vision system.

In this paper, we propose a boundary based marker binary coding method for augmented reality games, which enables the marker-area to be binary coded well in any lighting environments. First, it detects the boundary after transforming an original marker image to a gray scale image, and it executes 4 way pixel extensions for all boundary pixels in order to make the boundary to closed area. Next, for all boundary pixels it compares the brightness of right and left ones of each pixel and allocates black for the lower side and white for the higher side by filling inside area thru the seeded region growing. Experimental results showed that our proposed method produces a good binary marker image recognizable in various light environments. In addition, it showed the possibility of real-time calculation by considering the result of operation speed which is 51 fps for VGA image.
