The 3D infrared image enhancement with Stereoscopic algorithm on still infrared image is presented. The adapted stereoscopic method is that the depth is extracted by comparison with right-left image, and the enhanced 3D infrared image by matching based on feature is realized. As the result of experiment this method forces a 3D infrared image by the edge lines to be more smooth.

본 연구에서는 작업자의 일정한 동작을 보다 효율적으로 인식할 수 있는 시스템을 제안하고자 한다. 먼저, 작업자의 동작을 촬영한 동영상에서 연속된 프레임간의 차를 기반으로, 고정된 배경과 움직이는 대상을 분리한다. 다음으로, 에지 검출을 이용하여 동작의 중심 위치를 추정하여 연속적으로 움직이는 동작을 인식할 수 있도록 하였다. 본 연구에서 설계한 동작 인식시스템은 기존의 산업현장에서 적용되고 있는 동작인식 시스템의 문제점을 보완하기 위하여 작업자의 동작을 고정된 CCTV 로 촬영한 영상을 인식의 대상으로 취함으로써 동작 정보를 얻기 위한 각종 장비들이 최소화되었다. 또한, 작업자의 신체 부분별 특성을 추출하기 위한 계산작업에 소요되는 시간을 줄이기 위하여 프레임간의 차연산과 에지검출을 통한 동작인식을 실시하여 인식에 필요한 작업시간을 단축하여, 효율적이면서 비용이 저렴한 동작 인식시스템을 설계하였다.

본 논문에서는 원영상 영역내 포함된 우성의 에지에 대한 구체적 정보를 이용하기 위하여 Haar 웨이블릿을 이용한 에지영상 추출한다. 추출된 에지영상에 얼굴영역을 검출하기위해 이진화된 영상에 설정된 임계값을 통하여 얻은 이진영상으로부터 얼굴영역을 검출하기 위하여 얼굴의 일반적인 구조적 정보와 처리시간이 빠른 수평, 수직히스토그램 분석법을 이용하였다. 얼굴영역을 분리한 영상에 얼굴영역의 특징벡터를 구하기 위하여 26개의 특징벡터를 사용한 효율적인 고차 국소 자동 상관함수를 사용하였다. 계산된 특징벡터는 BP 신경망의 학습을 통하여 얼굴인식을 위한 데이터로 사용하여 제안된 알고리즘에 의한 인식률향상과 속도 향상을 입증한다.

영상 인식을 위한 학습 데이터 구성 단계에서 에지는 물체의 크기, 방향 등의 정보를 포함하고 있어 영상의 특징으로 사용한다. 본 논문에서는 얼굴 인식을 위하여 소벨 마스크를 사용하여 원영상과 압축영상 그리고 에지영상간의 학습에 따른 인식 정도를 파악하고자 한다. 실험결과, 원영상 그대로 인식하는 것보다 에지 영상에 의한 학습 속도에 차이가 있음을 알 수 있었다.

A novel algorithm using 2D tensor voting and edge-based approach is proposed for text detection in natural scene images. The tensor voting is used based on the fact that characters in a text line are usually close together on a smooth curve and therefore the tokens corresponding to centers of these characters have high curve saliency values. First, a suitable edge-based method is used to find all possible text regions. Since the false positive rate of text detection result generated from the edge-based method is high, 2D tensor voting is applied to remove false positives and find only text regions. The experimental results show that our method successfully detects text regions in many complex natural scene images.

In this paper, a method is proposed to detect the endocardial contour of the left ventricle using the Hough transform with a weighted model and edge information from the 2D echocardiogram. The implementation of this method is as follows: first, an approximate model detection algorithm was implemented in order to detect the approximate endocardium model and the model center, then we constructed a weighted model with the detected model. Next, we found automatically the cavity center of the left ventricle performing the Hough transform which used the weighted model, and then we detected the endocardial contour using weighted model and edge image.

This paper presents an algorithm for 3D building reconstruction from a pair of stereo aerial images using the 3D building model and the linear segments of building. Direct extraction of linear segments from original building images using parametric building model is attempted instead of employing the conventional procedures such as edge detection, linear approximation and line linking A segment measure function is simultaneously applied to each line segment extracted in order to improve the accuracy of building detection comparing to individual linear segment detection. The algorithm has been applied to pairs of stereo aerial images and the result showed accurate detection and reconstruction of buildings.

A method for edge detection using K-means clustering is proposed in this paper. The method is performed through there steps. Histogram equalizing is applied to the image for the uniformed intensity distribution. Pixels are clustered by K-means clustering technique. Then Sobel mask is applied to detect edges. Experiments showed that this method detected edges better than conventional method.

In this paper, we propose a rapid lane detection method to extract a preceding vehicle from sequential images captured by a single monocular CCD camera. We detect positions of lanes for an individual image within the limited area that would not be hidden and thereby compute the slopes of the detected lanes. Then we find a search area where vehicles would exist and extract the position of the preceding vehicle within the area with edge component by applying a structured method. To verify the effects of the proposed method, we capture the road images with a notebook PC and a CCD camera for PC and present the results such as processing time for lane detection, accuracy and vehicles detection against the images.

This paper presents a real-time lane detection method which can accurately find the lane-mark boundaries in complex road environment. Unlike many existing methods that pay much attention on the post-processing stage to fit lane-mark position among a great deal of outliers, the proposed method aims at removing those outliers as much as possible at feature extraction stage, so that the searching space at post-processing stage can be greatly reduced. To achieve this goal, a grid-based morphology operation is firstly used to generate the regions of interest (ROI) dynamically, in which a directional edge-linking algorithm with directional edge-gap closing is proposed to link edge-pixels into edge-links which lie in the valid directions, these directional edge-links are then grouped into pairs by checking the valid lane-mark width at certain height of the image. Finally, lane-mark colors are checked inside edge-link pairs in the YUV color space, and lane-mark types are estimated employing a Bayesian probability model. Experimental results show that the proposed method is effective in identifying lane-mark edges among heavy clutter edges in complex road environment, and the whole algorithm can achieve an accuracy rate around 92% at an average speed of 10ms/frame at the image size of $320{\times}240$.
