For edge detection methods, there are Sobel, Prewitt, Roberts and Canny edge detector, and these methods have insufficient detection characteristics in the image corrupted by the impulse noise. Therefore in this paper, in order to improve these disadvantages of the previous methods and to effectively detect the edge in the impulse noise environment, using the $5{\times}5$ mask, the noise factors within the $3{\times}3$ mask based on the central pixel is determined, and depending on its status, for noise-free it is processed as is, and if noise is found, by obtaining the estimated mask using the adjacent pixels of each factor, an algorithm that detects the edge is proposed.

본 논문은 Haar-like 마스크와 유사한 특징을 갖지만 두 사각형 영역의 크기와 위치를 제한하지 않는 분리된 두 사각 특징 마스크를 이용한 Adaboost 기반 얼굴검출 알고리즘을 제안한다. 기존의 Haar-like 특징이 단순히 두 사각 영역의 화소값들의 차를 구함으로써 계산이 용이하나 인접한 두 사각 영역으로 한정함으로써 고품질 특징을 얻기 어렵다. 이런 Haar-like 특징마스크의 내재된 문제점을 개선하기 위해, 제안하는 특징 마스크는 다양한 크기와 분리된 두 사각 영역을 갖는 형태로 고품질의 특징을 얻는다. 고품질의 특징은 Adaboost 알고리즘의 약 분류기(weak classifier)의 성능을 학습단계부터 높여 전반적으로 얼굴 검출 알고리즘의 성능을 향상시킨다. 제안하는 분리된 두 사각 특징을 이용한 adaboost 기반 얼굴검출 기법의 우수성을 다양한 실험을 통해 검증하였다.

Edge detection is one of image processing techniques applied for a variety of purposes in a number of areas and it is used as a necessary pretreatment process in most applications. Detect this edge has been conducted in various fields at domestic and international. In the conventional edge detection methods, there are Sobel, Prewitt, Roberts and LoG, etc using a fixed weights mask. Since conventional edge detection methods apply the images to the fixed weights mask, the edge detection characteristics appear somewhat insufficient. Therefore in this study, to complement this, preprocessing using gray-level transformation function and algorithm finding final edge using maximum and minimum value of estimated mask by local mask are proposed. And in order to assess the performance of proposed algorithm, it was compared with a conventional Sobel, Roberts, Prewitt and LoG edge detection methods.

Since conventional edge detection methods apply the images to the fixed weights mask, the edge detection characteristics appear somewhat insufficient. Therefore in this study, an algorithm for detecting the edge is proposed by applying the cross mask based on the center pixel and up, down, left and right mask based on the surrounding pixels of center pixel in order to solve these problems. And in order to assess the performance of proposed algorithm, it was compared with a conventional Sobel, Roberts, Prewitt and LoG edge detection methods.

Edge detection includes information such as the shape, position, size, and material of an object with respect to an image, and is a very important factor in analyzing the characteristics of the image. Existing edge detection methods include Sobel edge detection filter, Roberts edge detection filter, Prewitt edge detection filter, and LoG (Lapacian of Gaussian) using secondary differentials. However, these methods have a disadvantage in that the edge detection results are somewhat insufficient because a fixed weight mask is applied to the entire image area. Therefore, in this paper, we propose an edge detection algorithm that increases edge detection characteristics by considering the center pixel in the mask. In addition, in order to confirm the proposed edge detection performance, it was compared through simulation result images.

The edge detection is a pre-processing of such as image segmentation, image recognition, etc, and many related studies are being conducted both in domestic and abroad. Representative edge detection methods are Sobel, Prewitt, Laplacian, Roberts and Canny edge detectors. Such existing methods are possible for superb detections of edges if edges are detected from videos without noises. However, for video degraded by the salt-and-pepper noise, the edge detection characteristic is shown to be insufficient due to the noise influence. Therefore, in this study, the area is separated as the top, down, left and right from the mask's center pixel first to acquire a superb edge detection characteristic from the video damaged by the salt-and-pepper noise. And the algorithm that detects the final edge by applying the directional mask on the assumed factor of mask that is obtained according to the result of determination for the noise status of representative pixel value of each area.

본 논문에서는 컬러 영상에서 피부색 분할과 소벨 마스크를 이용한 얼굴 영역 검출 알고리즘을 제안한다. 제안된 알고리즘은 YCbCr색공간에서 Cb와 Cr성분을 이용하여 피부색 분할을 한 후에 형태학적 필터링과 레이블링을 통해 얼굴 후보 영역을 분리한다. 분리된 각 후보 영역에 대해 휘도 성분 Y에서 소벨 마스크의 수직 연산자를 적용한 후에 수평 투영을 통해 나타난 최대값을 눈의 위치로 검출해낸다. 비슷하게 얼굴의 지형적인 특징과 소벨 마스크의 수평 연산자를 적용하여 계산된 수평 투영의 최대값에 따라 턱 부분을 검출한다. 컴퓨터 시뮬레이션 결과는 제안된 방법이 기존의 방법보다 얼굴 영역을 정확하게 분리할 수 있음을 보인다.

코로나19 전염병 예방을 위한 공공장소에서의 마스크 착용이 의무화되고 있다. 그러나 사람들이 다양한 이유로 마스크를 제대로 착용하지 않아 감염에 노출되는 위험이 발생하고 있다. 이러한 방역 문제를 해결하고 본 논문은 영상을 인식하여 마스크를 쓴 얼굴과 쓰지 않은 얼굴을 검출하는 방식을 제안한다. 제안 방법은 마스크 착용자와 비착용자 얼굴 영상을 딥러닝 기반의 YOLO 네트워크로 학습하여, 마스크 착용 유무를 판별한다. 동일 YOLO 네트워크에 대해 여러가지 조건으로 학습을 수행하고, 학습에 사용되지 않은 검증 데이터를 이용해 정확도가 가장 높은 네트워크의 가중치를 선택하였다. 실험결과, 마스크 착용자는 67.2%, 미착용자는 39.8%의 판별 정확도를 보였다. 미착용자에 대해 낮은 정확도를 보인 이유는 학습 데이터의 부족으로 판단되며, 이를 보완하기 위하여 더 많은 학습데이터를 제작하여 성능을 개선시키고자 한다.

Edge detection is a technique that obtains the particular information of the image using the brightness variation of pixel values and utilized for preprocessing in various image processing sectors. The conventional edge detection methods such as Sobel, Prewitt and Roberts are processed by applying the same weighted value to the entire pixels regardless of pixel distribution and provides somewhat insufficient edge detection results. Therefore, this paper has proposed an edge detection algorithm considering the direction and size of pixels by applying a modified directional mask.

In this paper, a fast change detection is proposed for sequence image. The proposed method enhances the quality of the change detection mask and the speed of the change detection by combining block based method and pixel based method. Firstly, change regions are detected for 16 ${\times}$ 16 blocks in image. And 16 ${\times}$ 16 contour block of change detection mask is divided into 4 subblocks. Finally, for divided 8 ${\times}$ 8 blocks, contour blocks are extracted and then, the pixel-based change regions are detected for them. As this makes use of the block based method, this not only enhances the speed of the change detection, but also reduces effects of noise in change detection mask. Experimental results show not only the improvement of the separated change/non-change region, but also the improvement of the speed.
