  • This paper proposes a novel method for the recognition of passports based on the CDM(Conditional Dilation Morphology) masking and the ART2-based RBF neural networks. For the extraction of individual codes for recognizing, this paper targets code sequence blocks including individual codes by applying Sobel masking, horizontal smearing and a contour tracking algorithm on the passport image. Individual codes are recovered and extracted from the binarized areas by applying CDM masking and vertical smearing. This paper also proposes an ART2-based hybrid network that adapts the ART2 network for the middle layer. This network is applied to the recognition of individual codes. The experiment results showed that the proposed method has superior in performance in the recognition of passport.

  • Today, an automatic and accurate processing using computer is essential because of the rapid increase of travelers. The determination of forged passports plays an important role in the immigration control system. Hence, as the preprocessing phase for the determination of forged passports, this paper proposes a novel method for the recognition of passports based on the fuzzy binarization and the fuzzy RBF network. First, for the extraction of individual codes for recognizing, this paper targets code sequence blocks including individual codes by applying Sobel masking, horizontal smearing and a contour tracking algorithm on the passport image. Then the proposed method binarizes the extracted blocks using fuzzy binarization based on the trapezoid type membership function. Then, as the last step, individual codes are recovered and extracted from the binarized areas by applying CDM masking and vertical smearing. This paper also proposes an enhanced fuzzy RBF network that adapts the enhanced fuzzy ART network for the middle layer. This network is applied to the recognition of individual codes. The results of the experiments for performance evaluation on the real passport images showed that the proposed method has the better performance compared with other approaches.

  • The judgment of forged passports plays an important role in the immigration control system, for which the automatic and accurate processing is required because of the rapid increase of travelers. So, as the preprocessing phase for the judgment of forged passports, this paper proposed the novel method for the recognition of passport based on the fuzzy binarization and the fuzzy RBF neural network newly proposed. first, for the extraction of individual codes being recognized, the paper extracts code sequence blocks including individual codes by applying the Sobel masking, the horizontal smearing and the contour tracking algorithm in turn to the passport image, binarizes the extracted blocks by using the fuzzy binarization based on the membership function of trapezoid type, and, as the last step, recovers and extracts individual codes from the binarized areas by applying the CDM masking and the vertical smearing. Next, the paper proposed the enhanced fuzzy RBF neural network that adapts the enhanced fuzzy ART network to the middle layer and applied to the recognition of individual codes. The results of the experiment for performance evaluation on the real passport images showed that the proposed method in the paper has the improved performance in the recognition of passport.

  • 우리나라의 주민등록증은 주소지, 주민등록번호, 얼굴사진, 지문 등 개인의 다양한 정보를 가진다. 현재의 플라스틱형 주민등록증은 위조 및 변조가 쉽고 그 수법이 날로 전문화 되어가고 있다. 따라서 육안으로 위조 및 변조 사실을 쉽게 확인하기가 어려워 사회적으로 문제를 일으키고 있다. 이에 본 논문에서는 개선된 ART2 기반 RBF 네트워크에 이용한 주민등록번호 인식과 얼굴 인증을 통한 주민등록증 자동 인식 방법을 제안한다. 제안된 방법은 주민등록증 영상으로부터 주민등록번호와 발행일을 추출하기 위하여 주민등록증 영상에 소벨 마스킹와 미디언 필터링을 적용한 후에 수평 스미어링을 적용하여 주민등록번호와 발행일 영역을 추출한다. 그리고 원영상에 대해 고주파 필터링을 적용하여 영상 전체를 이진화하고, 이진화된 영상에 CDM 마스크를 적용하여 주민등록번호와 발행일 코드를 복원한 다음, 검출된 각 영역에 대해 4-방향 윤곽선 추적 알고리즘을 적용하여 개별 문자를 추출한다. 추출된 주민등록번호 등의 개별 문자를 인식하기 위해 개선된 ART2 기반 RBF 네트워크를 제안하고 인식에 적용한다. 제안된 ART2 기반 RBF 네트워크는 학습 성능을 개선하기 위하여 중간층과 출력층의 학습에 퍼지 제어 기법을 적용하여 학습률을 동적으로 조정한다. 얼굴 인증은 템플릿 매칭 알고리즘을 이용하여 얼굴 템플릿 데이터베이스를 구축하고 주민등록증에서 추출된 얼굴 영역과의 유사도를 측정하여 주민등록증 얼굴 영역의 위조여부를 판별한다. 제안된 주민등록증 인식 방법의 성능을 평가하기 위해 원본 주민등록증 영상에 대해 얼굴 영역 위조, 노이즈추가, 대비 증감, 밝기 증감 그리고 영상 흐리기 등의 변형된 영상들을 생성하여 실험한 결과, 제안된 방법이 주민등록번호 인식 및 얼굴 인증에 있어서 우수한 성능이 있음을 확인하였다
