Image mosaicking, which combines several images into one image, is effective for analyzing images and important in various fields of spatial information such as a continuous image map. The crucial processes of the image mosaicking are optimal seamline determination and color correction of mosaicked images. In this study, the overlap regions were determined by SURF (Speeded Up Robust Features) for image matching. Based on the characteristics of the edges extracted by Canny filter, seamline candidates were selected from classified edges with their characteristics, and the edges were connected by using Dijkstra algorithm. In particular, anisotropic filter and image pyramid were applied to extract reliable seamlines. In addition, it was possible to determine seamlines effectively and efficiently by utilizing building and road layers from digital maps. Finally, histogram matching and seamline feathering were performed to improve visual quality of the mosaicked images.

In this paper, we propose lane detection and trackinB algerian using B-Snake as robust algorithm. One of chief virtues of Lane detection algorithm using B-Snake is that it is possible to specify a wider range of lane structure because B-Spline conform an arbitrary shape by control point set and that it doesn't use any camera parameter. Using a robust algorithm called CHVEP, we find the vanishing point, width of lane and mid-line of lane because of the perspective parallel line and then we can detect the both side of lane mark using B-snake. To demonstrate that this algorithm is robust against noise, shadow and illumination variations in road image, we tested this algorithm about various image divided by weather-fine, rainy and cloudy day. The percentage of correct lane detection is over 95$\%$.

운송 컨테이너의 식별자를 추출하고 인식하는 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 에지 추출 기법을 이용하여 컨테이너의 식별자 영역을 추출하고 추출된 컨테이너 식별자 영역에서 히스토그램 방법과 윤곽선 추적 알고리즘을 결합하여 개별 식별자를 추출한다. 추출된 컨테이너 개별 식별자 인식은 ART1을 수정하여 지도 학습 방법과 결합한 개선된 자가생성 지도학습 알고리즘을 제안하여 적용한다. 실험결과에서는 제안된 컨테이너 식별자 추출 및 인식 방법이 다양한 컨테이너 영상에 대해 효율적인 것을 보인다.

A wireless license plate region extracting module is proposed for LPR system controlling multiple gates. This module is cheaply implemented using Raspberry Pi which is open source and high performance. First, as the upper 1/3 of the captured image is discarded as it has no useful information on license plate. Using the OpenCV libraries the edge image is got by Canny algorithm after applying Gaussian filtering to gray image, and the labeling is conducted for 4 consecutive numbers in license plate. These numbers are located using various decision equations, and expanding the numbers region the final license plate region can be extracted. The result image is transferred to Server using wifi direct. Using the proposed module it becomes easy to set up and maintain the LPR system. The experimental results showed that the successful extracting rate was 98.4% using 500 car images with 640 × 480 resolution.

Edge detection considers the important technical details of digital image processing. Many edge detection operators already perform edge detection in digital color imaging. In this study, the edge of many real color images that represent the type of digital image was detected using a new operator in the least square approximation method, which is a type of numerical method. The Linear Fitting algorithm is computationally more expensive compared to the Canny, LoG, Sobel, Prewitt, HIS, Fuzzy, Parametric, Synthetic and Vector methods, and Robert' operators. The results showed that the new method can detect an edge in a digital color image with high efficiency compared to standard methods used for edge detection. In addition, the suggested operator is very useful for detecting the edge in a digital color image.

접촉각을 이용한 표면에너지 측정방법은 부품소재분야를 비롯한 폴리머 화학제품 등에서 널리 사용되고 있다. 그중 측정할 대상의 고체 표면에 액체 방울을 떨어뜨리고 측면 접점 방향에 대한 영상을 촬영하여 고체 표면과 액체 방울이 이루고 있는 각도를 측정하는 방식을 가장 많이 사용하고 있다. 본 논문에서는 기존 접촉각 측정기의 배경과 액체 방울 사이의 명암 차를 이용하여 경계선을 찾는 Sessile-drop 영상처리 기법을 보완 및 개선하기 위하여 캐니 에지 검출 알고리즘을 적용하였다.

본 논문은 Laplacian of Gaussians (LoG)에 캐니 에지 검출 기법을 접목한 새로운 색상 보간 알고리듬을 제안한다. 캐니 에지 검출 기법은 영상 스무딩, 기울기 크기와 각도 계산, 세션화, 이중 문턱치 처리 과정으로 이루어진다. 이때 앞의 두 과정을 LoG를 이용하여 처리함으로써 기존의 캐니 애지 검출법보다 정확한 방향 정보를 얻을 수 있다. 실험결과를 통해 기존의 색상 보간 알고리듬에 비해 Peak Signal to Noise Ratio (CPSNR)이 상승함을 확인하였으며, 에지 영역 주변에서 발생하였던 무지개 에러가 현저히 감소하였음을 확인할 수 있었다.

In this paper, we propose the feature points extraction method of hand region using vision. To do this, first, we find the HCbCr color model by using HSI and YCbCr color model. Second, we extract the hand region by using the HCbCr color model and the fuzzy color filter. Third, we extract the exact hand region by applying labeling algorithm to extracted hand region. Fourth, after finding the center of gravity of extracted hand region, we obtain the first feature points by using Canny edge, chain code, and DP method. And then, we obtain the feature points of hand region by applying the convex hull method to the extracted first feature points. Finally, we demonstrate the effectiveness and feasibility of the proposed method through some experiments.

영상에서 경계선의 추출의 저수준 영상 처리에서 매우 중요하다. 하지만 대다수의 경계선 추출 방법들은 노이즈들의 영역이 많기 때문에 효율적이지 못하고 영상이 서로 다르기 때문에 유연하지 못하다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 문제 해결을 위하여 우선 노이즈 감소 단계를 제시한다. 그리고 점진적인 변화 폭의 히스토그램과 내부 클래스 최소 변이상의 양쪽 임계값들을 자동으로 선택하도록 한다.

This research features a method that quantitatively evaluates the performance of edge detection algorithms. Contrary to conventional methods that evaluate the performance of edge detection as a function of the amount of noise added to he input image, the proposed method is capable of assessing the performance of edge detection algorithms based on chosen parameters that influence the performance of edge detection. We have proposed a quantitative measure, called average performance index, that compares the average performance of different edge detection algorithms. We have applied the method to the commonly used edge detectors, Sobel, LOG(Laplacian of Gaussian), and Canny edge detectors for noisy images that contain straight line edges and curved line edges. Two kinds of noises i.e, Gaussian and impulse noises, are used. Experimental results show that our method of quantitatively evaluating the performance of edge detection algorithms can facilitate the selection of the optimal dge detection algorithm for a given task.
