In food-printing field, precise positioning technique for a printing object is very important. In this paper, we propose cup positioning method for a latte-art printer through image processing. A camera sensor is installed on the upper side of the printer, and the image obtained from this is projected and converted into a top-view image. Then, the edge lines of the image is detected first, and then the coordinate of the center and the radius of the cup are detected through a Circular Hough transformation. The performance evaluation results show that the image processing time is 0.1 ~ 0.125 sec and the cup detection rate is 92.26%. This means that a cup is detected almost perfectly without affecting the whole latte-art printing time. The center point coordinates and radius values of cups detected by the proposed method show very small errors less than an average of 1.5 mm. Therefore, it seems that the problem of the printing position error is solved.

Requiring topographic information of map due to retaining russia map, which needed accuracy analysis of russia map and relation between its and south korea's map. In order to obtain exact location information from the map which has different reference datum. We have to operate coordinate transformation between maps applied different ellipsoid. In this paper, in order to evaluate accuracy between two maps applied different ellipsoid, it has studied theory of map projection and coordinate transformation. Then, select each point which can be recognized on the two maps for accuracy evaluation. After obtaining coordinate values for each point of same area, it is evaluated accuracy each geodetic coordinate and each TM coordinate. As a result of this study, the maps which have different reference datum could be used if the exact origin shift could be obtained and applied.

In this study, image-based flock monitoring and density evaluation were conducted for broiler chicks welfare. Image data were captured by using a mono camera and region of broiler chicks in the image was detected using converting to HSV color model, thresholding, and clustering with filtering. The results show that region detection was performed with 5% relative error and 0.81 IoU on average. The detected region was corrected to the actual region by projection into ground using coordinate transformation between camera and real-world. The flock density of broiler chicks was estimated using the corrected actual region, and it was observed with an average of 80%. The developed algorithm can be applied to the broiler chicks house through enhancing accuracy of region detection and low-cost system configuration.

The coordinates of triangulation stations which has been used in Korea, were computed by means of the Gauss Conformal Double Projection in the 1910's. This projection has been considered as a problem in respect of accuracy, because the farther a station is from the origin, the larger the computational error becomes. In this paper, the Gauss Conformal Double Projection is compared with the T.M(Transverse Metcator) Projection which is widely used in many countries. In T.M projection method more accurate ground coordinates are obtained. This paper has an objective to improve the accuracy of public surveying by using the method presented in this paper.

This paper presents a new approach to translation and rotation invariant feature extraction for image texture retrieval. For the rotation invariant feature extraction, we invent angular projection along angular frequency in Polar coordinate system. The translation and rotation invariant feature vector for representing texture images is constructed by the averaged magnitude and the standard deviations of the magnitude of the Fourier transform spectrum obtained by the proposed angular projection. In order to easily implement the angular projection, the Radon transform is employed to obtain the Fourier transform spectrum of images in the Polar coordinate system. Then, angular projection is applied to extract the feature vector. We present our experimental results to show the robustness against the image rotation and the discriminatory capability for different texture images using MPEG-7 data set. Our Experiment result shows that the proposed rotation and translation invariant feature vector is effective in retrieval performance for the texture images with homogeneity, isotropy and local directionality.

The geometry of satellite image captured by linear CCD sensor is different from that of frame camera image. The fact that the exterior orientation parameters for satellite image with linear CCD sensor varies from scan line by scan line, causes the difference of image geometry between frame and linear CCD sensor. Therefore, we need the epipolar geometry for linear CCD image which differs from that of frame camera image. In this paper, we proposed a method of resampling linear CCD satellite image in epipolar geometry under the assumption that image is not formed in perspective projection but in parallel projection, and the sensor model is a 2D affine sensor model based on parallel projection. For the experiment, IKONOS stereo images, which are high resolution linear CCD images, were used and tested. As results, the spatial accuracy of 2D affine sensor model is investigated and the accuracy of epipolar resampled image with RFM was presented.

In this paper, we proposed the new vehicle license plates detection method which is available in a various fields, including vehicle access control, illegal parking and speeding vehicle crack down. First, we binarize an image by using difference of gaussian filter to find a sequence of numbers of plates. Second, we determine the plate region by labeling repeatedly using the morphological characteristics of the plates. Finally, we use a projective transformation for correcting the distortion that occurs because of the camera or the location of the vehicle.

In this paper we embody a system that recognizes the printed alphabet of two font types (Batang, Dodum) inputted by a black-and-white CCD camera and converts it into an editable text form. The image of the inputted printed sentences is binarized, then the rows of each sentence are separated through the vertical projection using the Histogram method, and the height of the characters are normalized to 48 pixels. With the reverse application of the basic principle of the Nonogram puzzle to the individual normalized character, the character is covered with the pixel-based squares, representing the characteristics of the character as the numerical information of the Nonogram puzzle in order to recognize the character through the comparison with the standard pattern information. The test of 2609 characters of font type Batang and 1475 characters of font type Dodum yielded a 100% recognition rate.

Chromakey method is one of key technologies for realizing virtual studio, and the blue portions of a captured image in virtual studio, are replaced with a computer generated or real image. The replaced image must be changed according to the camera parameter of studio for natural merging with the non-blue portions of a captured image. This paper proposes a novel method to extract camera parameters using the recognition of pentagonal patterns that are painted on a blue screen. We extract corresponding points between a blue screen. We extract corresponding points between a blue screen and a captured image using the projective invariant features of a pentagon. Then, calculate camera parameters using corresponding points by the modification of Tsai's method. Experimental results indicate that the proposed method is more accurate compared to conventional method and can process about twelve frames of video per a second in Pentium-MMX processor with CPU clock of 166MHz.
