The human eyes are important facial landmarks for image normalization due to their relatively constant interocular distance. This paper introduces a novel approach for the eye detection task using optimal segmentation method for eye representation. The method consists of three steps: (1)edge extraction method that can be used to accurately extract eye region from the gray-scale face image, (2)extraction of eye region using labeling method, (3)eye localization based on intensity information. Experimental results show that a correct eye detection rate of 98.9% can be achieved on 2408 FERET images with variations in lighting condition and facial expressions.

This study proposes a method for creating learning datasets to recognize obstacles using deep learning algorithms in automated construction machinery or an autonomous vehicle. Recently, many researchers and engineers have developed various recognition algorithms based on deep learning following an increase in computing power. In particular, the image classification technology and image segmentation technology represent deep learning recognition algorithms. They are used to identify obstacles that interfere with the driving situation of an autonomous vehicle. Therefore, various organizations and companies have started distributing open datasets, but there is a remote possibility that they will perfectly match the user's desired environment. In this study, we created an interface of the virtual simulator such that users can easily create their desired training dataset. In addition, the customized dataset was further advanced by using the RDBMS system, and the recognition rate was improved.

This paper proposes a method for constructing and verifying datasets used in deep learning technology, to prevent safety accidents in automated construction machinery or autonomous vehicles. Although open datasets for developing image recognition technologies are challenging to meet requirements desired by users, this study proposes the interface of virtual simulators to facilitate the creation of training datasets desired by users. The pixel-level training image dataset was verified by creating scenarios, including various road types and objects in a virtual environment. Detecting an object from an image may interfere with the accurate path determination due to occlusion areas covered by another object. Thus, we construct a database, for developing an occlusion area detection algorithm in a virtual environment. Additionally, we present the possibility of its use as a deep learning dataset to calculate a grid map, that enables path search considering occlusion areas. Custom datasets are built using the RDBMS system.

The inspection work at construction sites is one of the important supervisory tasks, which involves verifying that the building is being constructed by the numerical values specified in the design drawings. The conventional measuring method for inspection involves using tools or equipment such as rulers directly by the personnel at the site, and it is usually confirmed by vision. Therefore, this study proposes an model to measure numerical values on images of the construction site. Through the case study to measure the installation interval of jack supports, the proposed algorithm was verified the effiect and validity. The results of this study suggest that it can support inspection work even in the office, which may have been overlooked by on-site inspectors, and contribute to the digitization of inspection work at construction sites.

Recently introduced Mask R - CNN presents a conceptually simple, flexible, general framework for instance segmentation of objects. In this paper, we propose an algorithm for efficiently searching objects of images, while creating a segmentation mask of heat generation part for an instance which is a heating element in a heat sensed image acquired from a thermal infrared camera. This method called a mask R - CNN is an algorithm that extends Faster R - CNN by adding a branch for predicting an object mask in parallel with an existing branch for recognition of a bounding box. The mask R - CNN is added to the high - speed R - CNN which training is easy and fast to execute. Also, it is easy to generalize the mask R - CNN to other tasks. In this research, we propose an infrared image detection algorithm based on R - CNN and detect heating elements which can not be distinguished by RGB images. As a result of the experiment, a heat-generating object which can not be discriminated from Mask R-CNN was detected normally.

This paper presents the application of Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) and Region of Interest (ROI) techniques for concrete crack analysis. Surfaces of concrete structures, such as beams, etc., are exposed to fatigue stress and cyclic loads, typically resulting in the initiation of cracks at a microscopic level on the structure's surface. Early detection enables preventative measures to mitigate potential damage and failures. Conventional manual inspections often yield subpar results, especially for large-scale infrastructure where access is challenging and detecting cracks can be difficult. This paper presents data collection, edge segmentation and ROI techniques application, and analysis of concrete cracks using Convolutional Neural Networks. This paper aims to achieve the following objectives: Firstly, achieving improved accuracy in crack detection using image-based technology compared to traditional manual inspection methods. Secondly, developing an algorithm that utilizes enhanced Sobel edge segmentation and ROI techniques. The algorithm provides automated crack detection capabilities for non-destructive testing.

In this paper, we propose the auto correction technique of photography composition by which the eye line is concentrated and the stable image of the structure can be obtained in case the general user takes a picture. Because the general user photographs in most case without background knowledge about the composition of the photo, the subject location is not appropriate and the unstable composition is contrasted with the stable composition of pictures which the experts take. Therefore, we provide not the method processing the image after photographing, but he method presenting automatically the stable composition when the general users take a photograph. The proposed method analyze the subject through Saliency Map, Image Segmentation, Edge Detection, etc. and outputs the subject at the location where the stable composition can be comprised along with the guideline of the Rule of Thirds. The experimental result shows that the good composition was presented to the user automatically.

Wearing face masks is an effective measure to prevent COVID-19 infection. Infrared thermal image based temperature measurement and identity recognition system has been widely used in many large enterprises and universities in China, so it is totally necessary to research the face mask detection of thermal infrared imaging. Recently introduced MTCNN (Multi-task Cascaded Convolutional Networks)presents a conceptually simple, flexible, general framework for instance segmentation of objects. In this paper, we propose an algorithm for efficiently searching objects of images, while creating a segmentation of heat generation part for an instance which is a heating element in a heat sensed image acquired from a thermal infrared camera. This method called a mask MTCNN is an algorithm that extends MTCNN by adding a branch for predicting an object mask in parallel with an existing branch for recognition of a bounding box. It is easy to generalize the R-CNN to other tasks. In this paper, we proposed an infrared image detection algorithm based on R-CNN and detect heating elements which can not be distinguished by RGB images.
