This paper proposes a new efficient method to detect ellipses using a segment merging based Randomized Hough Transform. The key idea of the proposed method is to separate single line segments from an edge image, to estimate ellipses from any pair of the single line segments using Randomized Hough Transform (RHT), and to merge the ellipses. This algorithm is able to accuracy estimate the number of ellipses and largely improves the computational time by reducing iterations.

This paper is using motion tracking by image segmentation to monitor intruders and to confirm based on mobile the relevant information. First, detect frame in animation that film fixed area, and make use of image subtraction between two frame that adjoin, segment fixed backing and target who move. Segmental foreground object to the edge detecting the location specified by the edge of the median estimate extracted by analyzing the motion of the intruders to monitor. When a motion is detected, the detected image is transmitted by using the W AP pull basis image transmission method on the mobile client data terminal.

This paper proposes the fuzzy-PLL control system for fast response time and precision control of automation systems. The conventional PLL has not only a jitter noise caused from such a demerit of the wide dead zone, but also a long delay interval that makes a high speed operation unable. In order to solve the problems, the proposed system, which provides the improvement in terms of the control region in high speed and precision control, first used the fuzzy control method for fast response time and when the error reaches the preset value, used the PLL method designing new PFD for precision control. The new designed multi-PFD improves the dead zone, jitter noise and response characteristics, which is consists of P-PFD(Positive edge triggered PFD) and N-PFD(Negative edge triggered PFD) and can improve response characteristics to increase PFD gain.

This paper presents a panoramic reference image generation based automatic algorithm for moving objects detection robust to illumination variations under moving camera. Background image is generated by rotating the fixed the camera on the tripod horizontally. aligning and reorganizing this images. In generation of the cylindrical panoramic image, most of previous works assume the static environment. We propose the method to generating the panoramic reference image from dynamic environments in this paper. We develop an efficient approach for panoramic reference image generation by using accumulated edge map as well as method of edge matching between input image and background image. We applied the proposed algorithm to real image sequences. The experimental results show that panoramic reference image generation robust to illumination variations can be possible using the proposed method.

As the use frequency of electronic communication equipment increases due to the influence of the 4th industrial revolution, the importance of image and signal processing is increasing. However, due to noise caused by various causes, the reliability of the equipment is degraded and malfunctions are caused. In this paper, we propose an algorithm to remove AWGN in most environments. The existing methods show relatively poor performance due to the smoothing phenomenon at the boundary of the image. To overcome this problem, we proposed a filter algorithm that adapts to the boundary region using the Sobel edge detection to remove the noise. And using the PSNR compared with traditional methods, such as to demonstrate the performance of the proposed algorithm.

Image magnification is among the basic image processing operations. The most commonly used technique for image magnification are based on interpolation method(such as nearest neighbor, bilinear and cubic interpolation). However, the magnified images produced by the techniques that often appear a variety of undesirable image artifacts such as 'blocking' and 'blurring' or too takes the processing time into the several processing for image magnification. In this paper, we propose image magnification method which uses input image's sub-band information such as edge information to enhance the image magnification method. We use the whole image and not use the one's neighborhood pixels to detect the edge information of the image that isn't occurred the blocking phenomenon. And then we emphasized edge information to remove the blurring phenomenon which incited of edge information. Our method, which improves the performance of the traditional image magnification methods in the processing time, is presented. Experiment results show that the proposed method solves the drawbacks of the image magnification such as blocking and blurring phenomenon, and has a higher PSNR and Correlation than the traditional methods.

In order to solve problems in automatic quality inspection of tablet capsules, computation-efficient image processing technique, appropriate threshold setting, edge detection and segmentation methods are required. And since existing automatic system for quality inspection of tablet capsules is of very high cost, it needs to be reduced through the realization of low-price hardware system. This study suggests a technique that uses low-cost camera module to obtain image and inspects dents on tablet capsules and sorting them by applying TLS curve fitting technique and edge-based image segmentation. In order to assess the performance, the major classifications algorithm of PCA, ICA and SVM are used to evaluate training time, test time and accuracy for capsule image area and curve fitting edge data sets.

This study proposes a method for segmentation and recognition of traffic signs using shape information and edge image in real image. It first segments traffic sign candidate regions by connected component algorithm from binary images, obtained by utilizing the RGB color ratio of each pixel in the image, and then extracts actual traffic signs based on their symmetries on X- and Y-axes. Histogram equalization is performed for unsegmented candidate regions caused by low contrast in the image. In the recognition stage, it utilizes shape information including projection profiles on X- and Y-axes, moment, and the number of crossings and distance which concentric circular patterns and 8-directional rays from region center intersects with edges of traffic signs. It finally performs recognition by measuring similarity with the templates in the database. It will be shown from several experimental results that the system is robust to environmental factors, such as light and weather condition.

Most stereo matching methods use intensity values in small image patches to measure the correspondence between two points. If the noisy pixels are used in computing the corresponding point, the matching performance becomes low. For this reason, the noise plays a critical role in determining the matching performance. In this paper, we propose a method for combining intensity and edge filters robust to the noise in order to improve the performance of stereo matching using high resolution satellite imagery. We used intensity filters such as Mean, Median, Midpoint and Gaussian filter and edge filters such as Gradient, Roberts, Prewitt, Sobel and Laplacian filter. To evaluate the performance of intensity and edge filters, experiments were carried out on both synthetic images and satellite images with uniform or gaussian noise. Then each filter was ranked based on its performance. Among the intensity and edge filters, Median and Sobel filter showed best performance while Midpoint and Laplacian filter showed worst result. We used Ikonos satellite stereo imagery in the experiments and the matching method using Median and Sobel filter showed better matching results than other filter combinations.

While the management of digital contents is getting more and more important, many researchers have studied about scene change detection algorithms to reduce similar scenes in the video contents and to efficiently summarize video data. The algorithms using histogram and pixel information are found out as being sensitive to light changes and motion. Therefore, visual rhythm gets used in recent work to solve this problem, which shows some characteristics of scenes and requires even less computational power. In this paper, a new scene detection algorithm using visual rhythm by direction is proposed. The proposed algorithm needs less computational power and is able to keep good performance even in the scenes with motion. Experimental results show the performance improvement of about 30% comparing with conventional methods with histogram. They also show that the proposed algorithm is able to keep the same performance even to music video contents with lots of motion.
