연속 계조도 영상을 이진 영상(하프톤 영상)으로 변환하는 하프톤 기법중 대표적인 두 방법은 순차적 디더법과 오차 확산법이 있다. 이 중에서 오차확산법은 예리한 하프톤 영상을 얻기위한 우수한 하프톤 기법으로 잘 알려져 있다. 그러나 알고리듬에 기인하는 여러 인공잡음들이 발생하므로 이를 개선하기 위한 방법으로 최적의 필터 계수를 얻기 위한 많은 연구가 진행되었다. 본 논문에서는 연속 계조도 입력 영상과 하프톤 영상사이의 양자화 오차를 영상에 적응적이며 최적으로 확산시키기 위해 양자화 오차를 초기 가능성의 퍼지 부분 집합으로 정의하였다. 이러한 퍼지 부분 집합의 중심화소에 대해 이웃한 화소의 오차 가능성을 고려한 후 FAM 규칙을 이용하여 각각 화소들의 오차 가능성을 영상에 따라 적응적으로 갱신하였으며 이를 원영상에 더하여 다시 양자화 과정을 번복하는 퍼지 이완 알고리듬을 이용한 오차 확산법을 제안하였다. 제안한 방법을 이용하여 얻은 결과를 최적 필터 계수를 구하기 위한 기존의 방법의 결과 영상과 비교 분석하였다.

A look-up table based vector adaptive filter is proposed in color inverse halftoning. Inverse halftoning converts halftone image into a continuous-tone image. The templates and training images are required in the process of look-up table based methods, which can be obtained from distributed patterns in the sample halftone images and their original images. Although the look-up table based methods usually are faster and show better performances in PSNR than other methods do, they show wide range of qualities depending on how they treat nonexisting patterns in the look-up table. In this paper, a vector adaptive filter is proposed to compensate for these nonexisting patterns, which achieves better quality owing to the contributed informations about hue, saturation, and intensity of surrounding pixels. The experimental results showed that the proposed method resulted in higher PSNR than that of conventional Best Linear Estimation method. The bigger the size of the template in the look-up table becomes, the more outstanding quality in the proposed method can be obtained.

Look-up table based inverse halftoning from the digital color halftone image is proposed in this paper, which uses vector adaptive filter for the nonexisting patterns in the table. Halftone image is obtained from a continuous -tone image, which can be restored into continuous one from the digital binary image by way of inverse halftoning method. Look-up table based method usually processes fast and has even performances over the various halftoning. The numbers of pixels in the pattern of table and the method how to define the table elements for each R, G, B channels can effect largely for its performance. The proposed method uses 16 pixels in the table considering the diversity of the expressions from their patterns and with memory size as well. This also proposed how to combine R, G, B channels into one. Experimental results showed the better performance in the expression of colors, better color restoration and the short processing time compared with the conventional ones.

A CCD camera with a laser stripe was applied to realize the automatic weld seam tracking in GMAW. It takes relatively long time to process image on-line control using the basic Hough transformation, but it has a tendency of robustness over the noises such as spatter and arc tight. For this reason, it was complemented with adaptive Hough transformation to have an on-line processing ability for scanning specific weld points. The adaptive Hough transformation was used to extract laser stripes and to obtain specific weld points. The 3-dimensional information obtained from the vision system made it possible to generate the weld torch path and to obtain the information such as width and depth of weld line. In this study, a neural network based on the generalized delta rule algorithm was adapted for the process control of GMA, such as welding speed, arc voltage and wire feeding speed.
