In this paper, the algorithm which can convert a 2D image into a 3D Model will be discussed. The 2D picture drawn by a user is scanned for image processing. The Canny algorithm is employed to find the contour. The waterfront algorithm is proposed to find foreground image area. The foreground area is segmented to decompose the complex shapes into simple shapes. Then, simple segmented foreground image is converted into 3D model to become a complex 3D model. The 3D conversion formular used in this paper is also discussed. The generated 3D model data will be useful for 3D animation and other 3D contents creation.

An image processing and decision making method for the Automatic Surveillance System is proposed. The aim of our Automatic Surveillance System is to detect a moving object and make a decision on whether it is human or not. Various object features such as the ratio of the width and the length of the moving object, the distance dispersion between the principal axis and the object contour, the eigenvectors, the symmetric axes, and the areas if the segmented region are used in this paper. These features are not the unique and decisive characteristics for representing human Also, due to the outdoor image property, the object feature information is unavoidably vague and inaccurate. In order to make an efficient decision from the information, we use a fuzzy rules base system ai an approximate reasoning method. The fuzzy rules, combining various object features, are able to describe the conditions for making an intelligent decision. The fuzzy rule base system is initially constructed by heuristic approach and then, trained and tasted with input/output data Experimental result are shown, demonstrating the validity of our system.

Several methods for PCB pattern inspection have been tried to detect fine detects in pad contours, but their low detection accuracy results from pattern variations originating from etching, printing and handling processes. The adaptive inspection algorithm has been newly proposed to extract minute defects based on movable segments. With gerber master images of PCB, vertex extractions of a pad boundary are made and then a lot of segments are constructed in master data. The pad boundary is composed of segment units. The proposed method moves these segments to optimal directions of a pad boundary and so adaptively matches segments to pad contours of inspected images, irrespectively of various pattern variations. It makes a fast, accurate and reliable inspection of PCB patterns. Its performances are also evaluated with several images.

본 논문에서는 Spatial Edge와 Temporal Edge를 이용한 이동 객체의 윤곽선 검출 방법을 제안한다. 카메라로부터 연속적으로 입력되는 영상에서 이동 객체의 윤곽선이 존재하는 후보 영역을 검출하기 위해, 새로운 방법의 Temporal Edge를 제안한다. Temporal Edge를 통해 검출된 후보 영역을 중심으로 Spatial Edge를 구하고, 후처리 과정을 통해 노이즈를 제거한 후 최종적으로 이동 객체의 윤곽선을 검출한다. 제안한 방법은 실험을 통해 그 성능을 확인하였고, 배경 차 방법과 비교 하였다.

다중 물체 추적은 움직이는 물체를 추출하고 검출된 정보와 물체 정보를 이용하여 움직임 궤도률 추적하는 것이다. 따라서 정확한 움직임 추적이 수행되려면 효율적인 물체의 추출이 선행 되어 져야 한다. 일반적으로 영상 분할 알고리즘은 다양한 증류의 영상에 대한 물체의 수학적 모델이 찌대로 설정되어 있지 않기 때문에 물체를 정확하게 분리해 내기 어렵다. 그러나 물체의 추출에 주로 처리 속도가 빠른 배경영상을 이용한 차(difference) 영상 기법과 반 자동 영상분할인 Snake Model이 갖는 Active Contour 알고리즘과 같이 물체 추출 과정에서 물체의 정의니 semantic 정보를 부여 한다면 개선된 영상 분할의 결과를 얻을 수 있다. 따라서 차 영상 기법과 semantic 정보를 가진 영상분할 알고리즘은 동영상에서 움직임 물체의 VOP(Video Object Plane)를 생성하는 매우 현실적인 방법이다. 본 논문에서는 영상의 상위 레벨Semantic 정보를 이용하기 위해 변형 Snake Model를 이용한 영상분할 방법을 이용하여 영상을 추출한다. 추출된 물체는 윤곽선(곡선) 정보와 함께 에지 성분의 기울기에서 얻은 특징 점을 이용하여 물체를 추적해 나간다.

This paper presents the implementation of an automatic road sign recognizer for an intelligent transport system. In this system, lists of road signs are processed with actions such as line segmentation, single sign segmentation, and storing an artificial sign in the database. The process of taking the video stream and extracting the road sign and storing in the database is called the road sign recognition. This paper presents a study on recognizing traffic sign patterns using a segmentation technique for the efficiency and the speed of the system. The image is converted from one scale to another scale such as RGB to grayscale or grayscale to binary. The images are pre-processed with several image processing techniques, such as threshold techniques, Gaussian filters, Canny edge detection, and the contour technique.

This paper proposes a new contour detection method and adaptive reconstruction scheme for the cylindrical organs, such as blood vessels or arteries. Furthermore, we present java-based navigation controller which has been built to examine the inside of cylindrical objects. Tn the preprocessing procedure, a few preprocessing image filters are applied in order to remove unwanted artifacts from the medical images and to estimate threshold values for the object of interest. We define a context-free grammar, which is proper fur properties of contours of cylindrical objects. In the next procedure, we extract contours using advanced radial gradient method and represent contours as context-free grammar derivation trees. We build polygons between two contours efficiently by traversing the derivations trees of the contours. We fly through the reconstructed virtual models using java-based navigation controller and VRML viewer.

본 논문에서는 웹 카메라로 촬영된 받아진 입력영상에서 사람의 얼굴을 검출하고 검출된 얼굴을 기반으로 사람 얼굴 아바타를 생성하는 방법에 대하여 다루고 있다. 일반적으로 웹 카메라를 통해 얻은 영상은 해상도가 떨어질 뿐만 아니라 끊임없는 조명의 변화와 복잡한 배경이 존재하여 얼굴을 검출함에 있어 어려움을 준다. 따라서 몇몇의 특징 점에 의존하는 방법으로 사람얼굴의 윤곽선을 찾는다는 것은 큰 어려옴을 겪게 된다. 본 논문에서는 이런 방법들의 결점을 극복하기 위한 새로운 방법을 제안한다. 먼저 칼라정보를 이용하여 실험을 통하여 통계적으로 표준피부색을 정의하여 얼굴의 대략적인 위치와 크기를 얻은 다음으로 B-spline Snake를 이용하여 사람 얼굴의 윤곽선을 정확히 추출할 수 있다.

Studies of cry characteristics in the newborn infant were aimed to determine if cry analysis could be succesful in the early detection of the infant at risk for developmental difficulties. Crying presupposes functioning of the respiratory, laryngeal and supralaryngeal muscles. The nervous system controls the capacity, stability, and co-ordination of the movements in these muscles. Hence, the cry provides information about how the Nervous System is functioning. 3 patients(down syndrome, cornelia de lange syndrome, Patent ductus arteriosus) were assessed through a Computerized Speech Lab (CSL). Tests had been chosen to assess Fundamental frequency(mean, maximum, minimum values), Melody contour, NHR, Energy. We compared the data from patients and healthy volunteer. Variations in cry characteristics were documented in a number of medical abnormalities.

In Gravure printing process, there are a lot of printing errors caused by expansion and contraction of printing materials and difficulty of printing of small letters, accordingly we cannot detect those errors with eyes. In this paper, we describe the algorithm which can detect small errors automatically in Gravure printing process and a real-time detection system adopting the algorithm. We present the Perimetric Mask algorithm that can eliminate tiny errors occurring near the contour of printing objects to achieve accurate inspection, and also construct an algorithm utilizing symmetry transform which can emphasize tiny errors to make a robust inspection system. We have made a system running in real-time and verified the efficiency of the algorithm.
