  • Usually, the skin pigmentation detection and diagnosis are made by clinicians. In this process it is subjective and non-quantitative. We develop an approach to detect and measure the different pigmentation lesions base on computer vision technology. In the paper we study several usually used skin-detecting color space like HSV, YCbCr and normalized RGB. We compare their performance with illumination influence for detecting the pigmentation lesions better. Base on a relatively stable color space, we propose an approach which is RGB channels vector difference characteristic for the detection. After the object region detection, we also use the difference to measure the difference between the lesion and the surrounding normal skin. From the experiment results, our approach can effectively detect the pigmentation lesion, and perform robustness with different illumination.

  • AVI (Automatic Vision Inspection) systems automatically detect defect features and measure their sizes via camera vision. AVI systems usually report different measurements on the same defect with some variations on position or rotation mainly because different images are provided. This is caused by possible variations from the image acquisition process including optical factors, nonuniform illumination, random noises, and so on. For this reason, conventional area based defect measuring methods have problems of robustness and consistency. In this paper, we propose a new defect size measuring method to overcome this problem, utilizing volume information that is completely ignored in the area based defect measuring method. The results show that our proposed method dramatically improves the robustness and consistency of defect size measurement.

  • A vision-based surface-strain measurement system has been still improved since the authors devel-oped the first version of it. New algorithms for the subpixel measurement and surface smoothing are introduced to improve the accuracy and precision in the present study. The effects of these algorithms are investigated by error analysis. And the equations required to calculate 3D surface-strain of a shell element are derived from the shape function of a linear solid finite-element. The influences of external factors on the measurement error are also examined, and several trials are made to obtain possible optimal condition which may minimize the error.

  • A simple computer vision technology to measure the middle-ranged depth with mono camera and plain mirror is proposed The proposed system is structured wiか the rotating mirror in front of the fixed mono camera In contrast to the previous stereo vision system in which the disparity of the closer object is larger than that of the distant object, the pixel movement caused by the rotating mirror is bigger for the pixels of the distant object in the proposed system Being inspired by such feature in the proposed system the principle of the depth measurement based on the relation of the pixel movement and the distance of object have been investigated. Also, the factors to influence the precision of the measurement are analysed The benefits of the proposed system are low price and less chance of occlusion. The robustness for practical usage is an additional benefit of the proposed vision system.

  • This paper addresses photometric distortion problems of a compact 3D scanning sensor which is composed of a micro-size and inexpensive camera-projector system. Recently, many micro-size cameras and projectors are available. However, erroneous 3D scanning results may arise due to the poor and nonlinear photometric properties of the sensors. This paper solves two inherent photometric distortions of the sensors. First, the response functions of both the camera and projector are derived from the least squares solutions of passive and active calibration, respectively. Second, vignetting correction of the vision camera is done by using a conventional method, however the projector vignetting is corrected by using the planar homography between the image planes of the projector and camera, respectively. Experimental results show that the proposed technique enhances the linear properties of the phase patterns that are generated by the sensor.

  • Blockchain technology has emerged as one of the most crucial solutions in numerous industries, including healthcare. The combination of blockchain technology and cloud computing results in improving access to high-quality telemedicine and healthcare services. In addition to developments in healthcare, the operational strategy outlined in Vision 2030 is extremely essential to the improvement of the standard of healthcare in Saudi Arabia. The purpose of this survey is to give a thorough analysis of the current state of healthcare technologies that are based on blockchain and cloud computing. We highlight some of the unanswered research questions in this rapidly expanding area and provide some context for them. Furthermore, we demonstrate how blockchain technology can completely alter the medical field and keep health records private; how medical jobs can detect the most critical, dangerous errors with blockchain industries. As it contributes to develop concerns about data manipulation and allows for a new kind of secure data storage pattern to be implemented in healthcare especially in telemedicine fields is discussed diagrammatically.

  • The capability to examine an X-ray image is so far a challenging task. In this work, we suggest a practical and novel algorithm based on image fusion to inspect the issues such as background noise, blurriness, or sharpness, which curbs the quality of dual-energy X-ray images. The current technology exercised for the examination of bags and baggage is "X-ray"; however, the results of the incumbent technology used show blurred and low contrast level images. This paper aims to improve the quality of X-ray images for a clearer vision of illegitimate or volatile substances. A dataset of 40 images was taken for the experiment, but for clarity, the results of only 13 images have been shown. The results were evaluated using MSE and PSNR metrics, where the average PSNR value of the proposed system compared to single X-ray images was increased by 19.3%, and the MSE value decreased by 17.3%. The results show that the proposed framework will help discern threats and the entire scanning process.

  • LCD 모니터의 백라이트로 CCFL 형광체를 많이 사용하고 있으나 그 불량여부는 육안에 의존하고 있다. 그러나 육안 검사는 CCFL 현광체의 불량에 대한 일관성 있는 기준이 결여되고, 노동집약적인 검사로 인해 산업적 재해가 발생할 수 있다. CCFL 불량유무를 자동 판별하기 위해서는 물리적 촬영환경과 자동검출 알고리즘이 필수적이다. 본 논문에서는 CCFL 형광체의 불량을 자동으로 검사하기 위한 촬영환경을 설명하고, 그 촬영환경에 알맞은 대표적인 불량검출 알고리즘을 제안한다. 실험결과에 따르면, 알고리즘은 불량 판별율 98.86%와 과검율 3.34%의 성능을 보였다.

  • 스마트 폰의 등장과 모바일 인터넷을 제공함에 따라 휴대폰은 음성통신 수단이 아닌 웹을 통하여 서비스를 제공받는 도구 또는 각종 게임 및 응용 어플리케이션을 제공하는 놀이수단으로도 발전하였고, 이로인하여 사용량도 증가하였다. 사용량의 급증으로 인하여 모바일 광고에 대한 업계의 관심도 증가 하였지만, 한정적인 출력화면에 의하여 제한적일 수밖에 없다. 이를 보완하기 위해, 본 논문에서는 기업의 로고 광고의 효과를 극대화 할 수 있는 안드로이드 기반 로고를 인식하는 증강현실 시스템을 제안 하였고, 이를 구현 하여 실 제폰에 탑재한 후 다양한 성능 분석을 하였다. 실험결과, 그 가능성은 확인하였지만 현하드웨어 성능으로는 실시간으로 지원하기에는 역부족임을 알 수 있었다.
