Edge detection has been widely used in computer vision and image processing. We describe a new edge detector based on the robust rank-order test which is a useful alternative to Wilcoxon test. Our method is based on detecting pixel intensity changes between two neighborhoods with a $r{\times}r$ window using an edge-height model to perform effectively on noisy images. Some experiments of our robust rank-order detector with several existing edge detectors are carried out on both synthetic images and real images with and without noise.

Lane boundary detection plays a key role in the driver assistance system. This study proposes a robust method for detecting lane boundary in severe environment. First, a horizontal line detects form the original image using improved Vertical Mean Distribution Method (iVMD) and the sub-region image which is under the horizontal line, is determined. Second, we extract the lane marking from the sub-region image using Canny edge detector. Finally, K-means clustering algorithm classifi left and right lane cluster under variant illumination, cracked road, complex lane marking and passing traffic. Experimental results show that the proposed method satisfie the real-time and efficient requirement of the intelligent transportation system.

For edge detection methods, there are Sobel, Prewitt, Roberts and Canny edge detector, and these methods have insufficient detection characteristics in the image corrupted by the impulse noise. Therefore in this paper, in order to improve these disadvantages of the previous methods and to effectively detect the edge in the impulse noise environment, using the $5{\times}5$ mask, the noise factors within the $3{\times}3$ mask based on the central pixel is determined, and depending on its status, for noise-free it is processed as is, and if noise is found, by obtaining the estimated mask using the adjacent pixels of each factor, an algorithm that detects the edge is proposed.

Characters in natural image are an important information with various context. Previous work of character region detection algorithms is not detect of character region in case of image complexity and the surrounding lighting, similar background to character, so this paper propose an method of character region detection in natural image using edge and connected component by morphological reconstructions. Firstly, we detect edge using Canny-edge detector and connected component with local min/max value by morphological reconstructed-operation in gray-scale image, and labeling each of detected connected component elements. lastly, detected candidate of text regions was merged for generation for one candidate text region, Final text region detected by checking the similarity and adjacency of neighbor of text candidate individual character. As the results of experiments, proposed algorithm improved the correctness of character regions detection using edge and connected components.

In this paper we employ two-sample location tests such as Wilcoxon test and T test for detecting edges in noisy images. For this, we compute a test statistic on pixel gray levels obtained using an edge-height parameter and compare it with a threshold determined by a significance level. Experimental results applied to sample images are given and performances of these tests in terms of the objective measure are compared.

비디오 객체 분할은 MPEG-4와 같은 객체 기반 코딩 단계를 위한 중요한 구성 요소이다. 새로운 MPEG-4 비디오 표준은 움직임 객체의 모양 정보를 고려하여 높은 효율의 부호화 뿐만 아니라 움직임 객체에 대한 내용기반 기능의 부호화를 수행한다. 본 논문은 비디오 시퀀스에서 움직임 객체 분할을 위한 새로운 알고리즘과 VOP(Video Object Plane) 추출 방법을 소개한다. 본 알고리즘은 첫 번째 프레임을 기준영상으로 설정한 후 두 개의 연속된 프레임 사이의 차이 값으로부터 시작된다. 즉 차이영상을 추출한 후 차이영상에 Canny 에지를 적용하고 다음 프레임의 영상에 Canny 에지와 morphologic일 연산을 적용하여 정확한 움직임 객체 에지(Moving Object Edge)를 생성한다. 이후 생성된 에지를 이용하여 VOP를 추출한다. VOP 추출 단계에서 더욱 정확한 움직임 객체 에지를 얻기 위하여 morphological 연산을 수행하였다.

We propose a method to identify vehicle type by the formula of distance between feature points of vehicle and proportional rate of size. Car images are converted from the basic RGB model to the gray color model. Perform Canny Edge Direction to remove the background image of the car. The desired feature points are obtained through contour extraction.

운송 컨테이너의 식별자를 추출하는 것은 컨테이너 식별자들의 크기나 위치가 정형화되어 있지 않고 외부의 잡음으로 인하여 식별자의 형태가 훼손되어 있기 때문에 어렵다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 특성을 고려하여 컨테이너 영상에 대해 Canny 마스크를 이용하여 에지를 검출하고, 검출된 에지 정보에서 영상획득 시 외부 광원에 의해 수직으로 길게 발생하는 잡음들을 퍼지추론 방법을 적용하여 제거한 후에 수직 블록과 수평 블록을 검출하여 컨테이너의 식별자 영역을 추출한다. 추출된 컨테이너의 식별자 영역에서 히스토그램 방법과 윤곽선 추적 알고리즘을 각각 이용하여 개별 식별자를 추출한다. 실제 컨테이너 영상을 대상으로 실험 결과, 제안된 컨테이너 식별자 추출 방법이 다양한 컨테이너 영상에 대해 효율적인 것을 확인하였다.

Since the outbreak of COVID-19, there has been a surge in sports conducted through online platforms due to the increase in remote and non-contact activities. Billiards, being suitable for online platforms, has received much attention, leading to research on detecting the position and trajectory of balls. In this paper, we propose a new method utilizing machine vision to detect the position of the balls accurately. The proposed method detects the outline of the ball using the Canny edge detection and then employs simple correlation to determine its position. This correlation-based approach offers satisfactory system performance and is easily applicable in practical systems due to its low implementation complexity and robustness to noise.
