의료영상에서의 노이즈는 환자 진단에 있어서 막대한 영향을 미치는 영상의 화질을 떨어트림으로써, 진단에 대한 유효성을 낮추게 된다. 특히, 현재 이슈화 되고 있는 저선량 의료영상은 기존의 고선량 의료영상보다 노이즈 레벨이 높으며, 이에 따라서 의료영상에서의 노이즈 제거 기술은 매우 중요한 사안으로 부각되고 있다. 본 논문에서 제시하는 노이즈 제거 기술은 각각의 투영 영상을 여러개의 부대역(sub-band)으로 분해하는 것으로부터 시작한다. 분해된 각각의 부대역 영상은 엣지 검출기를 통하여 엣지 부분과 평탄한 영역으로 구별되어 진다. 검출된 엣지는 0 ~ 1 사이의 값으로 정규화 되며, 퍼지기반의 연산을 통하여 엣지의 확실성을 나타내는 엣지맵으로 변환하게 된다. 이 엣지맵을 통하여 각 부대역 영상의 필터링 정도를 제어하고, 분해된 각 부대역을 결합하는 방식을 취함으로써 영상의 엣지 부분을 최대한 보존하면서 노이즈는 효과적으로 제거하도록 하였다.

In this study, we evaluated an edge detector for small-beam dosimetry. We measured the dose linearity, dose rate dependence, output factor, beam profiles, and percentage depth dose using an edge detector (Model 1118 Edge) for 6-MV photon beams at different field sizes and depths. The obtained values were compared with those obtained using a standard volume ionization chamber (CC13) and photon diode detector (PFD). The dose linearity results for the three detectors showed good agreement within 1%. The edge detector had the best linearity of ${\pm}0.08%$. The edge detector and PFD showed little dose rate dependency throughout the range of 100~600 MU/min, while CC13 showed a significant discrepancy of approximately -5% at 100 MU/min. The output factors of the three detectors showed good agreement within 1% for the tested field sizes. However, the output factor of CC13 compared to the other two detectors had a maximum difference of 21% for small field sizes (${\sim}4{\times}4\;cm^2$). When analyzing the 20~80% penumbra, the penumbra measured using CC13 was approximately two times wider than that using the edge detector for all field sizes. The width measured using PFD was approximately 30% wider for all field sizes. Compared to the edge detector, the 10~90% penumbras measured using the CC13 and PFD were approximately 55% and 19% wider, respectively. The full width at half maximum (FWHM) of the edge detector was close to the real field size, while the other two detectors measured values that were 8~10% greater for all field sizes. Percentage depth doses measured by the three detectors corresponded to each other for small beams. Based on the results, we consider the edge detector as an appropriate small-beam detector, while CC13 and PFD can lead to some errors when used for small beam fields under $4{\times}4\;cm^2$.

The prevention of pedestrian accidents in crosswalks and intersections is very important. The C-ITS services provide a warning service for preventing accidents between cars and pedestrians. In the current pedestrian collision prevention warning service according to the C-ITS standard, however, it is difficult to provide real-time service because it detects pedestrians from a video-analysis server in the control center and sends service messages through the ITS system. This paper proposes a pedestrian collision-prevention warning system that detects pedestrians in the local field using an edge camera and sends a warning message directly to the driver through a roadside unit. An evaluation showed that the proposed system could deliver the pedestrian collision prevention-warning message to the driver satisfying the delay time within the 300 ms required by the C-ITS standard, even in the worst case.

In the shadow map method, if the shadow map is magnified, the shadow has a jagged silhouette. Herein, we propose a soft shadow method that filters reshaped silhouettes analytically. First, the shadow silhouette is reshaped through sub-texel edge detection, which is based on linear or quadratic curve models. Second, an integral shadow filtering algorithm is used to accurately obtain the average shadow intensity from a definite integral estimation. The implementation demonstrates that our solution can effectively eliminate jagged aliasing and efficiently generate soft shadows.

최근에는 우수한 성능의 딥러닝 기술을 활용한 장비와 프로그램이 개발되고 있으나 기술의 특성상 모든 환경에서 우수한 성능을 보여주지 못하고 고 사양의 서버와 같은 환경에서의 성능만을 보장하고 있다. 따라서 이에 대한 개선으로 엣지 디바이스 독립적으로 혹은 클라우드 의존과 인터넷 연결을 최소화 할 수 있는 엣지 컴퓨팅 기술이 제안되고 있으며 경량 내장형 시스템에 적합한 인공지능 기술의 개발이 필요하다. 본 논문에서는 객체검출 모델을 적은 연산과 효율적인 구조로 설계하고 생성된 모델을 임베디드 보드에서 원활하게 실행할 수 있도록 중립 모델로 변환하고 경량화 하는 방법에 대해 소개한다. Qualcomm snapdragon 프로세서가 갖춰진 임베디드 보드를 목표로 하였고 편의를 위해 SNPE(snapdragon neural processing engine) SDK를 이용하여 실험을 진행하였다. 실험 결과 변환된 중립모델이 기존 모델과 비교하여 압축된 모델 크기 대비 미미한 성능 저하가 발생함을 확인할 수 있었다.

Recent advancements in camera communication (CamCom) technology using visible light exploited to use display as an luminance source to modulate the data for visible light data communication. The existing display-CamCom techniques uses the selected region of interest based camera capturing approach to detect and decode the 2D color coded data on display screen. This is not effective way to do communicate when the user on mobility. This paper propose the automatic display detection using Lambertian color segmentation combined with canny edge detection algorithms for CamCom in order to avoid manual region of interest selection to establish communication link between display and camera. The automatic display detection methods fails using conventional edge detection algorithms when content changes dynamically in displays. In order to solve this problem lambertian color segmentation combined with canny edge detection algorithms are proposed to detect display automatically. This research analysed different algorithms on display edge recognition and measured the performance on rendering dynamically changing content with color code on display. The display detection rate is achieved around 96% using this proposed solutions.

The system for controlling the robotic arm through the foot motion detection was implemented for the disabled who not free to use of the arm. In order to get an image on foot movement, two cameras were setup in front of both foot. After defining multiple regions of interest by using LabView-based Vision Assistant from acquired images, we could detect foot movement based on left/right and up/down edge detection within the left/right image area. After transferring control data which was obtained according to left/right and up/down edge detection numbers from two foot images of left/right sides through serial communication, control system was implemented to control 6-joint robotic arm into up/down and left/right direction by foot. As a result of experiment, we was able to get within 0.5 second reaction time and operational recognition rate of more 88%.

This paper presents a novel lightweight object detection model tailored for low-powered edge devices, addressing the limitations of traditional resource-intensive computer vision models. Our proposed detector, inspired by the Single Shot Detector (SSD), employs a compact yet robust network design. Crucially, it integrates an 'enhancer block' that significantly boosts its efficiency in detecting smaller objects. The model comprises two primary components: the Light_Block for efficient feature extraction using Depth-wise and Pointwise Convolution layers, and the Enhancer_Block for enhanced detection of tiny objects. Trained from scratch on the Udacity Annotated Dataset with image dimensions of 300x480, our model eschews the need for pre-trained classification weights. Weighing only 5.5MB with approximately 0.43M parameters, our detector achieved a mean average precision (mAP) of 27.7% and processed at 140 FPS, outperforming conventional models in both precision and efficiency. This research underscores the potential of lightweight designs in advancing object detection for edge devices without compromising accuracy.

Many libraries utilize RFID tags for checking in and out of books. However, the recognition rate of this automatic process may depend on the orientation of antennas and RFID tags. Therefore we need supplemental systems to improve the recognition rate. The proposed algorithm sets up the ROI of the book existing area from the input image and then performs Canny edge detection algorithm to extract edges of books. Finally Hough line transform algorithm allows to detect the number of books from the extracted edges. To evaluate the performance of the proposed method, we applied our method to 350 book images under various circumstances. We then analyzed the performance of proposed method from results using recognition and mismatch ratio. The experimental result gave us 97.1% accuracy in book counting.
