Communication, Ocean And Meteorological Satellite (COMS) Meteorological Imager (MI) images are processed for radiometric and geometric correction from raw image data. When intermediate image data are matched and compared with reference landmark images in the geometrical correction process, various techniques for edge detection can be applied. It is essential to have a precise and correct edged image in this process, since its matching with the reference is directly related to the accuracy of the ground station output images. An edge detection method based on neural networks is applied for the ground processing of MI images for obtaining sharp edges in the correct positions. The simulation results are analyzed and characterized by comparing them with the results of conventional methods, such as Sobel and Canny filters.

조명 및 반사광의 성질에 의해 블러링이 발생하고 이런 영상을 인식하는 경우 정확한 에지 검출이 어렵게 된다. 이를 최적으로 검출하기 위해 일정하게 에지를 검출할 수 있는 가우시안 함수와 2차 미분 함수를 합성한 새로운 하이브리드 함수를 제안하고 실제 영상과 컨볼루션 한 후 함수의 $\sigma$값을 변화시키면서, Canny 알고리즘의 방향성 에지 검출 방법을 적용하여 에지를 검출하였다. 그 결과 Sobel, Robert, Canny 에지 검출방법보다 0.2~14㏈ 정도 안정적으로 에지가 검출되었다.

Skin cancer is one of the most common diseases in the world, and the incidence rate in Korea has increased by about 100% over the past five years. In the United States, more than 5 million people are diagnosed with skin cancer every year. Skin cancer mainly occurs when skin tissue is damaged for a long time due to exposure to ultraviolet rays. Melanoma, a malignant tumor of skin cancer, is similar in appearance to Atypical melanocytic nevus occurring on the skin, making it difficult for the general public to be aware of it unless secondary signs occur. In this paper, we propose a skin cancer lesion edge detection algorithm and a deep learning model, CRNN, which performs skin cancer lesion classification for early detection and classification of these skin cancers. As a result of the experiment, when using the contour detection algorithm proposed in this paper, the classification accuracy was the highest at 97%. For the Canny algorithm, 78% was shown, 55% for Sobel, and 46% for Laplacian.

Digital image processing is widely used in various fields including the military, medical, image recognition system, robot and commercial sectors. But in the process of acquiring and transmitting digital images, noise is generated by various external causes. There are various types of general noise depending on the cause and form, but AWGN and impulse noise is one of the leading methods. Removing noise during image processing is essential to the pre-treatment process such as segmentation, image recognition and characteristic extraction. As such, this paper suggests an algorithm that distinguishes the non-edge area and edge area using the Canny edge to apply different filters to different areas in order to effectively remove noise from the image. To verify the effectiveness of the suggested algorithm, it was compared against existing methods using zoom images, edge images and PSNR(peak signal to noise ratio).

The sea cucumber, which is distributed over 1,500 species worldwide, is a highly value-added variety that has been considered an important source of marine resources in many countries for a long period of time. Most of the research on sea cucumbers involves the effectiveness of food and its extractions; however, there was no research on the extraction of sea cucumbers. In response, this research suggested a boundary detection algorithm to extract the special spot of sea cucumbers Therefore, in order to capture a large quantity of high value-added in sea cucumbers and we believe that they will be a great help to the sea cucumber recognition program in the future.

Many libraries utilize RFID tags for checking in and out of books. However, the recognition rate of this automatic process may depend on the orientation of antennas and RFID tags. Therefore we need supplemental systems to improve the recognition rate. The proposed algorithm sets up the ROI of the book existing area from the input image and then performs Canny edge detection algorithm to extract edges of books. Finally Hough line transform algorithm allows to detect the number of books from the extracted edges. To evaluate the performance of the proposed method, we applied our method to 350 book images under various circumstances. We then analyzed the performance of proposed method from results using recognition and mismatch ratio. The experimental result gave us 97.1% accuracy in book counting.

In order to detect and locate edge features precisely in real images we have developed an algorithm by introducing a nonlocal differentiation of intensity profiles called adaptive directional derivative (ADD), which is evaluated independently of varying ramp widths. In this paper, we first develop the edge detector system employing the ADD and then, the performance of the algorithm is illustrated by comparing the results to those from the Canny's edge detector.

In this paper, we propose a implementation approach of the high-speed feature extraction algorithm. The proposed method is based on the block type classification algorithm which reduces the computation time when target macro block is divided to smooth block type that has no image features. It is quantitatively identified that occurs at 29.5% of the total image using 200 standard test images with $64{\times}64$ macro block size. This means that within a standard test image containing various image information, 29.5% can reduce the complexity of the operation. When the proposed approach is applied to the Canny edge detection, the required latency of the edge detection can be completely eliminated, such as 2D derivative filter, gradient magnitude/direction computation, non-maximal suppression, adaptive threshold calculation, hysteresis thresholding. Also, it is expected that operation time of the feature detection can be reduced by applying block type classification algorithm to various feature extraction algorithms in this way.

As more people have cars, the threat of traffic accidents is posed on men and women of all ages. The main culprit of traffic accidents is driving while intoxicated or drowsy. The method to recognize and prevent the cause of traffic accidents is to use lane detection. In this study, a total of 4,000 frames (day image: 2,900 frames, night image: 1,100 frames) were used to test lane detection. According to the test, in the case of day image, when the threshold of Sobel edge detection technique was detected with second-order differential equation, there was the highest candidate lane detection rate which was 86.1%. In the threshold of Canny edge detection technique, the highest detection rate of 88.0% was found at Low=50, and High=300. In the case of night image, the threshold of Sobel edge detection technique, when horizontal calculation and vertical calculation had second-order differential equation, and when horizontal-vertical calculation had 1.5th-order differential equation, there was the highest detection rate which was 83.1%. In the threshold of Canny edge detection technique, the highest detection rate of 89.9% was found at Low=50, and High=300.

본 논문에서는 에지 검출기에 의해 다양한 명암이 존재하는 차량 번호판 영역의 사각형 에지를 검출시 사용되는 소벨 및 Prewitt, Roberts, 가우시안의 라플라시안, 그리고 Canny 검출기를 사용하여 처리 속도와 에지 검출의 정확성을 실험하여 각 연산자의 성능을 평가하였다. 기존의 Sobel 에지 검출기는 적응적 임계값을 구하지 않으면 다양한 조명의 영향에 강인하지 못하다. 또한 Canny 에지 검출기는 조명의 영향에 강인하기는 하나, 계산량이 Sobel 보다는 많아 처리 속도가 느리다. 색상에 의해 번호판 후보 영역을 추출한 후 에지 검출기 번호판 내의 명암이 둘 이상으로 차량 번호판 영역에 대해서, 다양한 에지 검출기를 적용하여 속도와 에지 검출 성능을 비교 평가하고자 한다.
