In this paper, a new edge detection method for area images is presented based on the scan-line image segmentation technology. The existing algorithms are lack of precision in its detections due to the noise factors such as depth perception and illumination problems when processing the 3D image into a 2D image. The general process of applying the scan-line method is to extract straight line components to determine the shape of the objects. However, we implement this method to an arc curve for precise detections. the paper proved precise detections that from off line to on line.

This paper presents a new robust watermarking method for curves that uses informed-detection. To embed watermarks, the presented algorithm parameterizes a curve using the B-spline model and acquires the control points of the B-spline model. For these control points, 2D mesh are created by applying Delaunay triangulation and then the mesh spectral analysis is performed to calculate the mesh spectral coefficients where watermark messages are embedded in a spread spectrum way. The watermarked coefficients are inversely transformed to the coordinates of the control points and the watermarked curve is reconstructed by calculating B-spline model with the control points. To detect the embedded watermark, we apply curve matching algorithm using inflection points of curve. After curve registration, we calculate the difference between the original and watermarked mesh spectral coefficients with the same process for embedding. By calculating correlation coefficients between the detected and candidate watermark, we decide which watermark was embedded. The experimental results prove the proposed scheme is more robust than previous watermarking schemes against print-scan process as well as geometrical distortions.

A CMOS x-ray line scan sensor which is used in both medical imaging and non-destructive diagnosis is designed. It has a pixel array of 512 columns ${\times}$ 4 rows and a built-in DC-DC converter. The pixel circuit is newly proposed to have three binning modes such as no binning, $2{\times}2$ binning, and $4{\times}4$ binning in order to select one of pixel sizes of $100{\mu}m$, $200{\mu}m$, and $400{\mu}m$. It is designed to output a fully differential image signal which is insensitive to power supply and input common mode noises. The layout size of the designed line scan sensor with a $0.18{\mu}m$ x-ray CMOS image sensor process is $51,304{\mu}m{\times}5,945{\mu}m$.

Vector Graphics describes an image with mathematical statements instead of pixel information. Which enables easy scalability without loss in image quality and usually results in a much smaller file size compared with bitmap images. In this paper, we propose Vector Graphics Accelerator for mobile device with scan-line edge flag algorithm to render vector image without sorting process of edge. Proposed Vector Graphics Accelerator was verified with OpenVG 2D Vector image. The estimated processing time of proposed Accelerator with Tiger image is 12ms on Tessellation process, and total rendering time is 208ms. Estimated rendering performance with Tiger image is about 5 frame per second

본 논문에서는 OpenVG Specification에서 제안한 파이프라인을 기능별, 혹은 연산별로 그룹화 하여 하드웨어 구현에 적합한 새로운 파이프라인을 제안하였다. 래스터라이저에서는 스캔라인 알고리즘과 엣지 플래그 알고리즘의 장점들을 포함하는 스캔라인 엣지 플래그 알고리즘을 구현하여 적용하였으며, Non-Zero 룰을 만족하기 위해 엣지의 방향에 따라 Winding 횟수를 기록하기 위한 추가 버퍼를 이용하였다. 또한, 래스터라이저는 안티 앨리어싱을 위해 슈퍼 샘플링 과정을 수행한다. 액티브 엣지 생성 시 클리핑을 동시에 수행하여 이후 과정에서의 불필요한 연산을 줄였고, 액티브 엣지들의 정렬을 수행하지 않는 방법을 사용하여 처리 속도를 향상 시켰다. 본 연구에서 설계된 OpenVG Rasterizer는 크로노스 그룹에서 제공하는 샘플 이미지들을 사용하여 검증하였다.

Using a line scan camera and a Galvano mirror, we constructed a high-speed line-scanning microscope that can generate 2D images ($8000{\times}8000pixels$) without any moving parts. The line scanner consists of a Galvano mirror and a cylindrical lens, which creates a line focus that sweeps over the sample. The measured resolutions in the x (perpendicular to line focus) and y (parallel to line focus) directions are both $2{\mu}m$, with a 2X scan lens and a 3X relay lens. This optical system is useful for measuring defects, such as spalling, chipping, delamination, etc., on the surface of carbon fiber reinforced plastic (CFRP) holes after machining in conjunction with adjustments in the angle of LED lighting. Defects on the inner wall of holes are measured by line confocal laser scanning. This confocal method will be useful for analyzing defects after CFRP machining and for fast 3D image reconstruction.

정보화 사회가 진행되어감에 따라 카메라 센서, 디지털 카메라, 휴대폰, 영상 관련디지털 기기들이 증가하고 이로 인하여 영상정보 서비스 기술의 중요성이 크게 부각되었다. 특히 멀티미디어 응용서비스 기술에서는 영상 정보가 필수적인데, 그 영상 정보의 양이 너무 방대하여 압축 부호화를 하여 사용되고 있다. 본 논문에서는 정지영상압축 방법 중 JPEG표준에서 제시한 4가지 동작 모드 중 베이스라인을 기반으로 하는 JPEG압축 알고리즘을 연구하여 CMOS 이미지 센서에서 영상을 전송받으면 8*8 블록 단위로 변환 후 DCT 및 양자화 과정을 거쳐 지그재그 스캔을 한 후 허프만 코드를 사용하여 압축 부호화 시키는 JPEG 베이스라인 인코더를 VHDL언어로 설계하였다.

G3 팩스가 G1 팩스나 G2 팩스와 구별되는 점은 문서 이미지를 스캔하여 얻은 아날로그 신호(전압)를 디지털 신호로 바꿔주는 A/D 변환과 여기서 얻어진 디지털 신호를 전송을 위해 다시 아날로그 신호(주파수, 위상 진폭)로 바꿔주는 모듈레이션 과정이 중간에 신호를 압축하여 표현하는 코딩 단계가 있다는 것이다. 따라서 G1 팩스나 G2 팩스에 비해 s훨씬 적은 신호를 가지고 문서 이미지를 표현할 수 있으며, 결과적으로 전송속도가 빨라지는 것이 된다. 표준 A4용지는 수평 방향으로 1728개의 픽셀, 수직방향으로 1145라인의 픽셀로 구성된다. 따라서 층 1,978,560($1728{\times}1145$) 비트의 데이터가 A4용지 한 장에 포함될 수 있는 것이다. 팩스가 이런한 표준 A4용지를 스캔하게될 경우 수캔되는 매 라인에는 1728개의 검은색(글자 및 그림) 및 흰색 (여백)픽 셀들이 존재한다. G3 팩스는 서로 다른 Run Length에 비교적 짧은 특정 코드를 미리 할당해 놓고 실제 픽셀들 대신 이러한 코드들을 모듈레이션해서 전송한다. 따라서 전송속도는 단축된다.

The CGO (Chip on Glass) to be measured a few micro unit is captured by line scan camera for the accuracy of chip inspection. But it is very sensitive to scan speed and lighting conditions. In this paper, we propose the methods to increase the accuracy of faulty detection by image subtraction. Image subtraction is detected faultiness by subtracting the image of a ' perfect ' COG from trot of the sample under tests. For image subtraction to be successful, the two images must be pre챠sely registered The two images is registered by the area segmentation pattern matching, and the result image get by operating the gradient mask image and the image to practice subtraction. A series of experimentation showed that the proposed algorithm shows substantial improvement over the other image subtraction methods.
