We propose the simplified Kalman filter to track the area of human face efficiently in image sequences. We also devise the method of slant-compensation, so that the facial components could be extracted more accurately by using vertical and horizontal profiles of the compensated images. Finally, we show the effectiveness of the suggested method through experimental results.

  • 본 논문에서는 한글과 영문 문서 영상들에 대한 기울어짐 추정(skew estimation) 알고리즘을 제안한다. 제안 방법은 전체 문서 영상에서 텍스트 요소들이 밀집되어 있는 영역을 선별하고, 선별된 영역에 대해 허프 변환을 적용하는 선택적 주의집중(selective attention) 방식을 채택한다. 제안 방법의 기울기 추정 과정은 2단계로 구성되는데, coarse 단계에서는 전체 영상을 몇 개의 영역으로 나누고 동일한 영역에 속하는 데이타들간의 연결 각도를 계산하여 각 영역별 accumulator에 저장한다. accumulator에 저장된 빈도치를 기준으로 $\pm$45$^{\circ}$범위 내에서 최대 $\pm$1$^{\circ}$의 오차를 가진 각 영역별 기울기를 계산한 후, 이들 중 최대 빈도값을 갖는 영역을 선정하고 그 영역의 기울기 각도를 문서 영상의 대략적인 기울기 각도로 결정한다. Refine 단계에서는 coarse 단계에서 선정된 영역에 허프 변환을 적용하여 정확한 기울기를 계산하는데, coarse 단계에서 추정한 기울기의 $\pm$1$^{\circ}$범위 내에서 0.1$^{\circ}$간격으로 측정한다. 이와 같은 선택적 주의집중 방식을 통해 기울기 추정에 소요되는 시간 비용은 최소화하고, 추정의 정확도는 최대화 할 수 있다.제안 방법의 성능 평가를 위한 실험은 다양한 형태의 영문과 한글 문서 영상 2,016개에 적용되었다. 제안 방법의 평균 수행 시간은 Pentium 200MHz PC에서 0.19초이고 평균 오차는 $\pm$0.08$^{\circ}$이다. 또한 기존의 기울기 추정 방법과 제안 방법의 성능을 비교하여 제안 방법의 우수성을 입증하였다.Abstract In this paper we propose a skew estimation algorithm for English and Korean document images. The proposed method adopts a selective attention strategy, in which we choose a region of interest which contains a cluster of text components and then apply a Hough transform to this region. The skew estimation process consists of two steps. In the coarse step, we divide the entire image into several regions, and compute the skew angle of each region by accumulating the slopes of lines connecting any two components in the region. The skew angle is estimated within the range of $\pm$45 degree with a maximum error of $\pm$1 degree. Next we select a region which has the most frequent slope in the accumulators and determine the skew angle of the image roughly as the angle corresponding to the most frequent slope. In the refine step, a Hough transform is applied for the selected region within the range of $\pm$1 degree along the angle computed from the coarse step, with an angular resolution of 0.1 degree. Based on this selective attention strategy, we can minimize the time cost and maximize the accuracy of the skew estimation.We have measured the performance of the proposed method by an experiment with 2,016 images of various English and Korean documents. The average run time is 0.19 second on a Pentium 200MHz PC, and the average error is $\pm$0.08 degree. We also have proven the superiority of our algorithm by comparing the performance with that of other well-known methods in the literature.

  • Recently, the research on renewable energy against depletion of fossil fuel have been actively carried out in the world. Especially, offshore wind turbines are very economical and innovative technology. However, offshore wind turbines experience large base moments due to the wind and wave loading, so the monopile with large diameter needs to be applied. For the economical design of the large diameter pile, it is important to consider the flexibility of the foundation to estimate the maximum moment accurately, based on studies conducted so far. In this paper, the foundation was modeled using the finite element method in order to better describe the large diameter effect of a monopile and the results were compared with those of p-y method. For the examples studied in this paper, the change in maximum moment was insignificant, but the maximum tilt angle from the finite element method was over 14% larger than that of p-y method. Therefore, the finite element approach is recommended to model the flexibility effect of the pile when large tilt angles may cause serviceability issues.

  • Skew correction for document images can be using a rotational transformation of pixel coordinates. In this paper we propose a method which corrects the document skew, by an amount of $\theta$ degrees, using block information, where the block is defined as a rectangular area containing adjacent black pixels. Processing speed of the proposed method is faster than that of the method using pixel transformation, since the number of floating-point operations can be reduced significantly. In the proposed method, we rotate only the four corner points of each block, and then identify the pixels inside the block. Two methods for inside pixel identification are proposed; the first method finds two points intersecting the boundary of the rotated block in each row, and determines the pixels between the two intersection points as the inside pixel. The second method finds boundary points based on Bresenham's line drawing algorithm, using fixed-point operation, and fills the region surrounded by these boundaries as black pixels. We have measured the performance of the proposed method by experimenting it with 2,016 images of various English and Korean documents. We have also proven the superiority of our algorithm through performance comparison with respect to existing methods based on pixel transformation.

  • The fluxless wetting properties of TSM-coated glass substrate were evaluated by the wetting balance method. We could estimate the wettability of the TSM with new parameters obtained from the wetting balance test for one side-coated specimen. It was more effective in wetting to use Cu as a wetting layer and Au as a protection layer than to use Au itself as a wetting layer. The SnSb solder showed better wettability than SnAg, SnBi, and SnIn solders. The contact angle of the one side-coated glass substrate to the Pb-free solders could be calculated from the farce balance equation by measuring the static force and the tilt angle.

  • This paper proposes the use of a wavelet based image transform algorithm in human iris recognition method and the effectiveness of this technique will be determined in preprocessing of extracting Iris image from the user´s eye obtained by imaging device such as CCD Camera or due to torsional rotation of the eye, and it also resolves the problem caused by invariant under translations and dilations due to tilt of the head. This technique values through the proposed translation-invariant wavelet transform algorithm rather than the conventional wavelet transform method. Therefore we extracted the best-matching iris feature values and compared the stored feature codes with the incoming data to identify the user. As result of our experimentation, this technique demonstrate the significant advantage over verification when it compares with other general types of wavelet algorithm in the measure of FAR & FRR.

  • 본 논문에서는 OCR(Optical Character Recognition)의 정확도를 위해 인쇄체 한글 문서 영상에 대한 자동 평가방법을 제안한다. 자동 평가방법은 문서가 스캔된 상태에 따라 낮은 해상도, 영상 자체의 기울어짐, 많은 잡음 등을 판단하여 인식하지 않고도 인식률을 추측할 수 있다. 평가방법은 영상 자체의 밝기, 기울기, 영역의 특징, 문자의 상태 등을 특징 항목으로 만들어 점수를 산출한다. 각 항목의 점수는 가장 높은 인식률을 가지는 영상의 특징 값을 기준으로 삼는다. 각각의 특징에 대해 점수가 산출되면 인식률에 높은 비중을 차지하는 특징에 높은 가중치를 적용하여 최종 점수를 산출한다. 영상 평가방법을 통해 높은 점수를 얻은 영상은 상용 인식기를 통해 인식한 결과 높은 인식률을 나타냈고, 평가방법에서 낮은 점수를 받은 영상은 상대적으로 낮은 인식률을 나타냈다. 본 논문에서 제안하는 문서영상을 위한 자동 평가방법은 인식기를 사용하지 않고 영상의 품질을 측정하기 때문에 빠른 시간에 인식률을 추측할 수 있고, 낮은 인식률을 보일 수 있는 영상에 대해서는 항목별 점수를 피드백으로 사용할 수 있어 인식하기전 문서 영상의 전처리에 과정에 도움을 줄 수 있다.

  • Recent studies on ankle-foot prostheses used for transtibial amputees have focused on the adaptation of the ankle angle of the prosthesis according to ground conditions. For adaptation to various ground conditions (e.g., incline, decline, and step conditions), ankle-foot prostheses should first recognize the ground conditions as well as the current human motion pattern. For this purpose, the ground reaction forces and orientation angle of the tibia provide fundamental information. The measurement of the orientation angle, however, creates a challenge in practice. Although various sensors, such as accelerometers and gyroscopes, can be utilized to measure the orientation angles of the prosthesis, none of these sensors can be solely used due to their intrinsic drawbacks. In this paper, a time-varying complementary filtering (TVCF) method is proposed to incorporate the measurements from an accelerometer and a gyroscope to obtain a precise orientation angle. The cut-off frequency of TVCF is adaptively determined according to the human gait phase detected by a fuzzy logic algorithm. The performance of the proposed method is verified through experiments.

  • Aerodynamic data measured in a wind tunnel has inevitable errors due to the presence of the wind tunnel walls. These unwanted interference effects must be corrected for the wall interference free aerodynamic data. Streamline curvature effects are caused by straightening of streamlines due to wind tunnel walls. Classical Glauert's correction method that is a standard method for fixed wing aircraft is not suitable for rotary wing aircraft. In this paper, Heyson's correction method of which wake model is compatible with rotors is used to correct the rotor shaft angle as well as the dynamic pressure. The results of Heyson's method are compared with Glauert's correction method.
