From the Beckmann's reflection model of wave incident, reflected light from a surface is known to have not only specular but also diffuse components. The specular component dominant a surface for a mirror-like surface is distributed on the almost the same area as the spot on the surface, but the diffuse component region dominant f3r a rough surface spreads scattered on the larger areas than the spot. Therefore, statistic parameters from the scattered light distribution are more meaningful in the diffuse region, while the magnitude of rather meaning in the specular region. In usual, there need two sensors to acquire two kinds of information: Photo-detector for light intensity magnitude and image sensor for light intensity distribution. But dual sensor scheme requires a beam splitter usually to feed light to each sensor, and moreover there is not a combination rule to relieve the different sensor characteristics. In this study a new method is proposed for acquisition of the dual information using only an image sensor. Specular region is established on an image area being distinguished from a diffuse component, and laser power is adjusted so that no pixel of the image sensor in the specular region is saturated. Simulation based on the light reflection theory and the experimental results are quite well matched, and thus the proposed method was proved to be very useful for mirror-like surface measurement.

In this paper, we propose an image enhancement method based on Multi-Scale Retinex theory that designs Unsharp Masking Filter (UMF) and emphasizes the contrast ratio adaptively. Unsharp Masking (UM) technique emphasizes image sharpness and improves contrast ratio by adding high frequency component to the original image. The high frequency component is obtained by differentiating between original image and low frequency image. In this paper, we present how to design an UMF kernel and to adaptively apply it to increase the contrast ratio according to multi-scale retinex theory which resembles human visual system. Experimental results show that the proposed method has better quantitative performance indexes such as PSNR, ambe & SSIM and better qualitative feature like halo artifact suppression.

본 논문에서는 영상의 1차 모멘트와 기저영상을 이용한 효율적인 얼굴인식 방법을 제안하였다. 여기서 1차 모멘트는 입력되는 얼굴영상의 중심 좌표를 계산하여 중심 이동하는 전처리로 인식에 불필요한 배경을 배제시킴으로써 인식성능을 개선하기 위함이다. 또한 기저영상은 얼굴의 특징으로 주요성분분석과 고정점 알고리즘의 독립성분분석을 각각 이용하여 추출하였다. 이는 2차와 고차의 통계성을 각각 고려한 중복신호의 제거로 인식성능을 개선하기 위함이다. 제안된 2가지 방법을 각각 64*64 픽셀의 48개(12명*4장) 얼굴영상에 적용하여 city-block, Euclidean, 그리고 negative angle의 3가지 거리 척도를 분류척도로 이용하여 실험하였다. 실험결과, 중심이동의 제안된 방법은 전처리과정을 거치지 않는 기존방법보다 우수한 인식성능이 있음을 확인하였다. 또한 제안된 중심이동의 독립성분분석이 중심이동의 주요성분분석보다 더욱 우수한 인식성능이 있음도 확인하였다. 특히 city-block이 Euclidean이나 negative angle의 거리척도보다 상대적으로 정확하게 유사성을 측정함을 알 수 있었다.

We propose a post-processing algorithm to improve the quality of the RGB image generated by deep learning based colorization from the gray-scale image of an infrared camera. Wavelet fusion is used to generate a new luminance component of the RGB image luminance component from the deep learning model and the luminance component of the infrared camera. PSNR is increased for all experimental images by applying the proposed algorithm to RGB images generated by two deep learning models of SegNet and DCGAN. For the SegNet model, the average PSNR is improved by 1.3906dB at level 1 of the Haar wavelet method. For the DCGAN model, PSNR is improved 0.0759dB on the average at level 5 of the Daubechies wavelet method. It is also confirmed that the edge components are emphasized by the post-processing and the visibility is improved.

In this paper, we introduce the methodological system design via feature selection using Principal Component Analysis and Particle Swarm Optimization algorithms. The overall methodological system design comes from three kinds of modules such as preprocessing module, feature extraction module, and recognition module. First, Histogram equalization enhance the quality of image by exploiting contrast effect based on the normalized function generated from histogram distribution values of 2D face image. Secondly, PCA extracts feature vectors to be used for face recognition by using eigenvalues and eigenvectors obtained from covariance matrix. Finally the feature selection for face recognition among the entire feature vectors is considered by means of the Particle Swarm Optimization. The optimized Polynomial-based Radial Basis Function Neural Networks are used to evaluate the face recognition performance. This study shows that the proposed methodological system design is effective to the analysis of preferred face recognition.

뉴로모픽 기술은 인간의 뇌 구조와 연산과정을 하드웨어로 모방하는 기술로 기존 인공지능 기술의 단점을 보완하기 위하여 제안되었다. 뉴로모픽 하드웨어 기반의 IoT 응용을 개발하기 위해 NA-IDE가 제안되었으며, NA-IDE에서 SNN 모델을 구현하기 위하여 일반적으로 많이 사용되는 입력 데이터를 SNN모델에 사용할 수 있도록 변환이 필요하다. 본 논문에서는 이미지 데이터를 SNN 입력으로 사용하기 위하여 스파이크 시계열 패턴으로 변환하는 신경코딩 방식의 인코더 컴포넌트를 구현하였다. 디코더 컴포넌트는 SNN 모델이 스파이크 시계열 패턴을 생성하는 경우, 출력된 시계열 데이터를 다시 이미지 데이터로 변환하도록 구현하였다. 디코더 컴포넌트는 출력 데이터에 인코딩 과정과 동일한 매개변수를 사용한 경우, 원본 데이터와 유사한 정적 데이터를 얻을 수 있었다. 제안된 인코더와 디코더를 사용한다면 image-to-image나 speech-to-speech와 같이 입력 데이터를 변환하여 재생성하는 분야에 사용할 수 있을 것이다.

This article presents a reformulation of the Grey Edge framework for colour constancy. Colour constancy is the ability of a visual system to perceive objects' colours independently of their scenes' illuminants. Colour constancy algorithms try to estimate the colour of an illuminant from image values. This estimation can later be used to correct the image as though it were taken under a white illuminant. The modification presented allows the framework to incorporate image-specific filters instead of the commonly used edge detectors. A colour constancy algorithm is proposed using PCA and FastICA linear component analyses methods for the construction of such filters. The results show that the proposed method improves the accuracies of the Grey Edge framework algorithms whilst on the other hand, achieving comparable accuracies with the state-of-the-art methods, but improving their time efficiencies.

This paper is to present an approach for generating coarse resolution (MODIS data) fraction images of forested region in Korea peninsula using forest type area fraction derived from high resolution data (ASTER data) in regional forest area. A 15-m spatial resolution multi-spectral ASTER image was acquired under clear sky conditions on September 22, 2003 over the forested area near Seoul, Korea and was used to select each end-member that represent a pure reflectance of component of forest such as different forest, bare soil and water. The area fraction of selected each end-member and a 500-m spatial resolution MODIS reflectance product covering study area was applied to a linear mixture inversion model for calculating the fraction image of forest component across the South Korea. We found that the area fraction values of each end-member observed from high resolution image data could be used to separate forest cover in low resolution image data.

Automatic quality inspection by computer vision can be applied and give a solution to the pharmaceutical industry field. Pharmaceutical capsule can be easily affected by flaws like dents, cracks, holes, etc. In order to solve the quality inspection problem, it is required computationally efficient image processing technique like thresholding, boundary edge detection and segmentation and some automated systems are available but they are very expensive to use. In this paper, we have developed a dented capsule image processing technique using edge-based image segmentation, TLS(Total Least Squares) curve fitting technique and adopted low cost camera module for capsule image capturing. We have tested and evaluated the accuracy, training and testing time of the classification recognition algorithms like PCA(Principal Component Analysis), ICA(Independent Component Analysis) and SVM(Support Vector Machine) to show the performance. With the result, PCA, ICA has low accuracy, but SVM has good accuracy to use for classifying the dented capsule.

This study presents an effective vision-based system for cable bridge damage detection. In theory, cable bridges need to be inspected the outer as well as the inner part. Starting from August 2010, a new research project supported by Korea Ministry of Land, Transportation Maritime Affairs(MLTM) was initiated focusing on the damage detection of cable system. In this study, only the surface damage detection algorithm based on a vision-based system will be focused on, an overview of the vision-based cable damage detection is given in Fig. 1. Basically, the algorithm combines the image enhancement technique with principal component analysis(PCA) to detect damage on cable surfaces. In more detail, the input image from a camera is processed with image enhancement technique to improve image quality, and then it is projected into PCA sub-space. Finally, the Mahalanobis square distance is used for pattern recognition. The algorithm was verified through laboratory tests on three types of cable surface. The algorithm gave very good results, and the next step of this study is to implement the algorithm for real cable bridges.
