Recently, the use of drone has been increasing rapidly in many ways. A drone can capture remote objects efficiently so it is suitable for surveillance and security systems. This paper discusses three methods for detecting moving vehicles using a drone. We compare three target detection methods using a background frame, preceding frames, or moving average frames. They are subtracted from a current frame. After the frame subtraction, morphological filters are applied to increase the detection rate and reduce the false alarm rate. In addition, the false alarm region is removed based on the true size of targets. In the experiments, three moving vehicles were captured by a drone, and the detection rate and the false alarm rate were obtained by three different methods and the results are compared.

We propose a vision-based method that estimates train position and movement for railway monitoring in which we use a fuzzy classifier to determine train states. The proposed method employs frame difference and background subtraction for estimating train motion and presence, respectively. These features are used as the linguistic variables of the fuzzy classifier. Experimental results show that the proposed method can correctly estimate train position and movement. Therefore the method can be used for railway monitoring systems which estimate crowd density or protect safety.

We have designed a real-time Cardiac digital substraction angiography system (C-DSA) and tested the system for the diagnosis of Cardiac patients. The system was developed by interfacing a radiographic angiography system to a computerized motional image analysis system. This new cardiac DSA can perform the real time processing of averaging and subtraction of the 32 image frames to measure the volume changes of the left ventricle after elimination of motional artrifacts, caused by the heart contraction of beats per minute in average. Each frame has a resolution of 512 x 512 pixels and 256 gray levels. Two image data with maximal and minimal volume were moved to the interfaced IBM PC computer system by high speed computer link line for computation of the heart's contraction parameters. First, the boundary of the left ventricule was detected using a dynamic programming of the gray levels, and its volume was computered to determine the parameters, such as the maximal volume of end-diastolic volume (EDV), the minimal volume of end systolic volume (ESV), and ejection fraction (EF).

In this paper, we propose a cardioangiography sequence image coding scheme which use a subtraction between initial image and current frame inserted contrast dye. Stable regions are obtained by the multithreshold and meaningful region is extracted by the images with stable region. The image with meaningful region is classified into contour and texture information. Contour information is coded by contour coding. And texture information is approximated by two-dimensional polynomial function and each coefficients is coded. Experimental results confirm that the sequence of cardioangiography are well reconstructed at the low bit rate (0.02∼0.04 bpp) and high compression ratio.

동영상 정보는 영상정보뿐만 아니라 음성정보, 문자정보 및 각종 의미있는 정보들을 포함하고 있어서 기존의 검색방법으로는 사용자가 원하는 이미지를 찾는데 어려움이 따른다. 따라서, 본 연구에서는 동영상 정보의 효율적인 활용을 위한 색인방법으로 칼라 임계값을 이용한 컷 검출 방법을 제안하였다. 이것은 frame 간의 유사도를 측정해서 이 값이 주어진 임계값보다 작을 경우, 장면의 전환이 일어나는 곳을 컷 지점으로 검출하는 것인데, 동영상의 장면에 따른 유사도가 다를 수 있기 때문에, 컷을 구성하는 프레임들간의 칼라 임계값에 변동을 주어 최적의 컷 검출율을 구하고자 했다. 초기의 칼라 임계값은 '80'을 사용했고, 이후 frame 의 유사도가 임계값보다 클 경우, 즉 장면전환이 일어나지 않았을 경우일정한 상수 값을 초기 임계값에서 감산토록 하였다. 이러한, 과정을 거쳐 추출된 frame을 가지고 원하는 이미지를 검색하게 되면 사용자의 노력 및 검색 시간이 단축되고, 동영상 정보의 관리가 용이해진다.
