2D 영상을 가지고 인식 작업을 수행하는데 있어서 입력 영상의 질은 매우 중요한 요소이다. 특히 얼굴 인식과 같은 실시간 입력 데이터와 미리 등록되어진 데이터와 비교하는 경우는 입력 영상과 등록 영상의 상태 차이가 크면 좋은 알고리즘이라 할지라도 높은 성능을 내기는 힘들다. 즉, 테스트를 위한 입력 영상을 등록 영상의 수준과 유사하게 만들어 전체적인 성능을 높일 수 있는 적응형 방법이 필요하다. 본 논문에서는 유전 알고리즘을 이용하여, 하나의 샘플 이미지에서 환경 의존적인 요소를 제거 하기 위한 최적의 필터 조합과 특징 추출 마스크를 생성하였으며, 그것을 사용하여 인식 테스트를 수행하였다. 가상의 편향조명 노이즈를 첨가한 실험에서 진화 전의 약 25% 인식율은 진화 후 약 92% 까지 향상되었으며, 임의의 임펄스 노이즈에 관한 실험에서도 진화 전의 약 47%의 인식율에서 진화 후 약 84%의 높은 인식율 향상 결과를 보여주었다.

An image coding based on MRC model, a kind of multi-layer image model, first segments a screen image into foreground, mask, and background layers, and then compresses each layer using a codec that is suitable to the layer. The mask layer defines the position of foreground regions such as textual and graphical contents. The colour signal of the foreground (background) region is saved in the foreground (background) layer. The mask layer which contains the segmentation result of foreground and background regions is of importance since its accuracy directly affects the overall coding performance of the codec. This paper proposes a new layer segmentation algorithm for the MRC based image coding. The proposed method extracts text pixels from the background using morphological top hat filtering. The application of white or black top hat transformation to local blocks is controlled by the information of relative brightness of text compared to the background. In the proposed method, the boundary information of text that is extracted from the edge map of the block is used for the robust decision on the relative brightness of text. Simulation results show that the proposed method is superior to the conventional methods.

At-wavelength inspection system of extreme Ultra-violet lithography was developed and the inspection results were compared with the optical mask inspection system by cross correlation experiments. In at-wavelength EUV mask inspection system, a raster scan of focused euv light is used to illuminate euv light to mask blank and specularly and non-specularly reflected euv light are detected by photo diode and microchannel plate. The cross correlation results between at-wavelength inspection tool and optical inspection tool shows strong correlation. Far-field scattering fringe pattern from programmed phase and opqque defect, which were detected by phosphor plate and CCD camera shows that distinct diffraction fringes were observed with fringe spacing dependent on the defect size.

Binary connected-components labeling, which is widely used in the field of the pattern recognition, has been researched for a long time as one of the basic image processing techniques. Two-scan algorithm has been mainly used in the researches of the connected-components labeling. Recently, for the first scan in the two-scan algorithm, block-based labeling approaches have been used and reported as the fastest methods. In this paper, a new efficient scan mask for connected-components labeling with a block-based labeling approach is proposed. Labeling with the new pixel-based scan mask is more efficient than any other existing method. The results of the experiments show that the proposed method is faster than the existing fastest method.

Generally, wavelet coefficients can be classified into two categories: large coefficients with much signal information and small coefficients with little signal component. This statistical characteristic of wavelet coefficient is approximated to Gaussian mixture model and efficiently applied to noise reduction. In this paper, we propose an image denoising method using mixture modeling of wavelet coefficients. Binary mask value is generated by proper threshold which classifies wavelet coefficients into two categories. Information of binary mask value is used to remove image noise. We also develope an enhancement method of mask value using morphological filter, and apply it to image denoising for improvement of the proposed method. Simulation results shows the proposed method have better PSNRs than those of the state of art denoising methods.

In the modern society, according to the advancement in digital image processing technology, edge detection is being utilized in various application sectors such as smart device and medical, etc. In existing edge detection methods, there are Sobel, Prewitt, Roberts and Laplacian, etc, which uses the mask. These previous methods are easy to implement but shows somewhat insufficient results. Therefore, in order to compensate the problems of existing methods, in this paper, an algorithm that detects the edge using the local mask and morphological operation was proposed and the detection performance was compared against the previous methods.

In this paper, an automated segmentation algorithm is proposed for MR brain images using T1-weighted, T2-weighted, and PD images complementarily. The proposed segmentation algorithm is composed of 3 step. In the first step, cerebrum images are extracted by putting a cerebrum mask upon the three input images. In the second step, outstanding clusters that represent inner tissues of the cerebrum are chosen among 3-dimensional(3D) clusters. 3D clusters are determined by intersecting densely distributed parts of 2D histogram in the 3D space formed with three optimal scale images. Optimal scale image is made up of applying scale space filtering to each 2D histogram and searching graph structure. Optimal scale image best describes the shape of densely distributed parts of pixels in 2D histogram and searching graph structure. Optimal scale image best describes the shape of densely distributed parts of pixels in 2D histogram. In the final step, cerebrum images are segmented using FCM algorithm with its initial centroid value as the outstanding clusters centroid value. The proposed cluster's centroid accurately. And also can get better segmentation results from the proposed segmentation algorithm with multi spectral analysis than the method of single spectral analysis.

In this paper, optical inplementation of the Hopfield neural network model for two-dimensinal associative memory is described For the real-time processing of two-dimensional images, the commercial LCTVs are used as a memory mask and an input spatical light modulator. A 4-D memory matrix is realized with a 2-D mask of a matrix arrangement and the inner-products between arbitrary input pattern and memory matrix are carried out by using the multifocus hololens. The output image is then electronically thresholded and fed back to the input of the associative memory system by 2-D CCd camera. From the good experimental results for the high error correction capability, the proposed system can be applied to practical pattern recognition and machine vision systems.
