In this paper, we propose an adaptive thresholding method to binarize two-dimensional barcode images. Adaptive thresholding methods are applied to document image binarization. Thus, they inappropriate to use in recognition of two-dimensional barcode images. To overcome the problem, we propose a new adaptive threshold method using the integral image. To show the effectiveness of our method, we compared our method with the well-known existing method in terms of visual quality and processing time. The experimental result indicates that the proposed method is superior to the existing method.

본 논문에서는 적응적 이진화 기법을 적용하여 흠집 영역을 검출한다. 제안된 방법은 안경 렌즈 영상에서 명암 대비를 적용하여 렌즈의 명암을 강조한다. 명암이 강조된 영상에서 렌즈 밖의 배경 영역은 흠집 검출에 불필요하므로 개선된 평균 이진화 기법을 적용한 후에 렌즈의 윤곽선을 검출하여 렌즈 이외의 배경을 제거한다. 렌즈 이외의 배경이 제거된 렌즈 영상에서 렌즈 내부에 명암대비를 적용하여 렌즈 내부의 배경과 흠집의 명암을 강조한다. 명암이 강조된 렌즈 내부 영역에서 적응적 이진화 기법을 적용하여 흠집과 잡음을 검출한다. 잡음은 중간값 필터를 적용하여 제거한 후에 흠집 영역을 추출한다. 추출된 흠집 영역을 렌즈의 중심으로부터의 거리와 흠집의 크기를 퍼지 추론 규칙을 적용하여 눈에 미치는 영향 정도를 분석한다. 본 논문에서 제안된 방법의 성능을 분석하기 위해 CHEMI, MID, HL, HM과 같은 시력 보정용 렌즈 영상 6장을 대상으로 실험한 결과, 제안된 방법이 기존 렌즈 흠집 추출 방법보다 흠집 영역이 정확하게 추출되었고 눈에 미치는 영향을 효과적으로 분석할 수 있는 가능성을 확인하였다.

카메라로 촬영한 문서 영상의 분석 및 인식을 위한 적응적 이진화 방법을 제안한다. 먼저 카메라 영상의 화질을 분석하여 정량화하는 방법을 제안한다. 그 후 다양한 화질의 카메라 영상에 대하여 제안한 방법으로 측정한 화질과 그 화질에 적합한 이진화 파라미터간의 상관 관계를 통계적으로 분석한다. 그 후 그들간의 상관 관계를 이용하여 입력 영상의 화질에 적합한 이진화 파라미터를 자동으로 추정하도록 함으로써 화질 변화에 대한 적응력을 강화하였다. 실험을 통해 초점 및 잡영의 상태에 따라 적절한 파라미터를 추정함으로써 화질 변화에 적응하는 결과를 확인하였다.

In this paper, we propose an adaptive thresholding method to binarize two-dimensional barcode images. Adaptive thresholding methods that minimize light effects convert an original image into a binary image. The methods are applied to document image binarization. The methods, however, have problems of determining box size used in adaptive thresholding. thus, they inappropriate to use in recognition of two-dimensional barcode images. To overcome the problem, we analysis the problem and propose a new adaptive threshold method using the integral image. To show the effectiveness of our method, we compared our method with the well-known existing methods in terms of visual quality and processing time. The experimental result indicates that the proposed method is superior to the existing method.

Adaptive binarization is very important for the camera-based document recognition. This paper proposes a binarization method which can effectively adapt to the variation of image Qualify. Firstly, it analyzes the effect of binarization parameters to the result and proposes a method to measure the image quality. Then, it statistically analyzes the relationship between the image quality and the binarization parameter. Finally, it proposes a binarization method that automatically adapts to the quality of the input image, using the analysis result. The experiment results show that there is a meaningful relationship between the image quality and the binarization parameter, and therefore, the proposed method can effectively adapt to the variation of image quality.

반도체 패키지의 마킹검사(marking inspection)를 위해서는 입력 영상으로부터 검사할 패키지의 정확만 위치 검출과 패키지 윗면에 나타난 제작사 로고, 문자, Pin1 딤플의 추출이 필수적이다. 본 연구는 마킹검사를 위한 선행 연구로 마킹검사를 수행할 때, 검사할 IC 패키지의 위치와 방향을 정확하게 검출하는 것을 목적으로 하고 있다. IC 패키지의 외곽을 구성하는 리드의 명도 값은 트레이의 명도 값과 큰 차이를 나타낸다. 그러나 IC 패키지의 방향을 나타내는 Pin1 딤플은 배경과 동일한 색상으로 다만 약간 오목하게 들어가서 명도 값의 차이가 미세하다. 이러한 두 가지 상이한 특징을 효과적으로 처리하기 위하여 적응적 다중 이진화 방법을 제시하였다. 76개의 명도 영상에 대한 실험 결과 제안된 이진화 방법은 매우 효과적이었으며, 이진화된 영상으로부터 IC 패키지의 정확한 위치 검출과 방향 확인이 가능하였다.

In automatic defect detection problem for spectacle lenses, it is important to extract lens area accurately. Many existing detection methods fail to do it due to insufficient minute noise removal. In this paper, we propose an automatic defect detection method using Bresenham algorithm and adaptive binarization strategy. After usual average binarization, we apply Bresenham algorithm that has the power in extracting ellipse shape from image. Then, adaptive binarization strategy is applied to the critical minute noise removal inside the lens area. After noise removal, We can also compute the influence factor of the defect based on the fuzzy logic with two membership functions such as the size of the defect and the distance of the defect from the center of the lens. In experiment, our method successfully extracts defects in 10 out of 12 example images that include CHEMI, MID, HL, HM type lenses.

The quality of the camera image is worse than that of the scanner image because of lighting variation and inaccurate focus. This paper proposes a binarization method for camera-based document recognition, which is tolerant to low-quality camera images. Based on an existing method reported to be effective in previous evaluations, we enhanced the adaptability to the image with a low contrast due to low intensity and inaccurate focus. Furthermore, applying an additional small-size window in the binarization process, it is effective to extract the fine detail of character structure, which is often degraded by conventional methods. In experiments, we applied the proposed method as well as other methods to a document recognizer and compared the performance for many cm images. The result showed the proposed method is effective for recognition of document images captured by the camera.

Image binarization is an important preprocessing to identify objects of interest by dividing pixels into background and objects. Usually binarization methods are classified into global and local thresholding approaches. In this paper, we propose an efficient and adaptive binarization method for the character segmentation by combining both advantages of the global and the local thresholding methods. Experimental results with the korean character images present that the proposed method binarizes character image faster and better than other local binarization methods.

An important preprocessing for fingerprint recognition is the binarization operation, which takes as an input gray-scale image and returns a binary image as the output. The difficult in performing binarization is to find an appropriate threshold value. This paper presents a new adaptive binarization method, which determines the threshold value according to the brightness of local ridges and valleys. We experimentally show that the presented method results in better performance than a traditional method.
