Digital image processing is being utilized in various fields including medical industry, satellite photos, and factory automation image recognition. However, this kind of image data produces heat by an external cause in the course of being processed, transmitted, and stored. Most typical noises added in the images are AWGN and salt and pepper. MF, CWMF, and AWMF are methods used to restore images damaged by AWGN and the existing methods are likely to damage detailed information such as an edge. Therefore, this paper suggests an algorithm applying weight of average filter, average filter depending on pixel, and spatial weight filter based on edge size of local mask in an AWGN environment, in a different way. Also, this paper compares functions of existing methods by using PSNR to prove excellence of the suggested algorithm.

In general, the extraction and recognition of identifier is very hard work, because the scale or location of identifier is not fixed-form. And, because the provided image is contained by camera, it has some noises. In this paper, we propose methods for automatic detecting edge using canny edge mask. After detecting edges, we extract regions of identifier by detected edge information's. In regions of identifier, we extract each identifier using contour tracking algorithm. The self-generation supervised learning algorithm is proposed for recognizing them, which has the algorithm of combining the enhanced ART1 and the supervised teaming method. The proposed method has applied to the container images. The extraction rate of identifier obtained by using contour tracking algorithm showed better results than that from the histogram method. Furthermore, the recognition rate of the self-generation supervised teaming method based on enhanced ART1 was improved much more than that of the self-generation supervised learning method based conventional ART1.

Due to development of visual media in various industrial sectors, the importance of image processing is increasing. Among the various image processing areas, edge detection is utilized widely for various fields such as object recognition, object segmentation, the medical and other industries. Edge includes the critical factors of images like size, direction and location. Then conventional methods such as Sobel, Prewitt, Roberts and Laplacian are proposed to detect edge. However, edge detection property of these methods is declined when they are applied to the image which corrupted by AWGN(Additive White Gaussian Noise). Therefore, an algorithm using modified weighted filter is proposed in this paper and our method has excellent property on edge detection.

We proposed a new directional edge based interpolation, DEBI, by combining two weighted directional information to reduce blurred edges and annoying artifacts. Four isotropic gradient masks are employed in defining edge directions and they are proven to hold a first order derivative relation with respect to a rotating coordinate. Two minimum gradients among four absolute directional results are shown to be sufficient to describe slant edges efficiently. Compared with widely used bilinear and bicubic interpolation methods, the proposed algorithm results in a noticeable improvement along edge area.

As the digital image processing technology develops, the edge in the image is widely utilized in various fields such as the object recognition and detection. Most of the current methods to detect the edge use the fixed weighting mask of Sobel or Roberts. Such current methods have an advantage that the implementation is simple but have a disadvantage that the characteristics of the edge detection are more or less insufficient. Thus, an algorithm using the modified morphology is proposed in order to supplement such problems of the current edge detection methods and obtain the excellent edge detection, and also a simulation using this algorithm is conducted to compare with such current methods.

The performances of previous edge detection methods such as Sobel, Prewitt, and LoG(Laplacian of Gaussian) are insufficient for images degraded in AWGN(additive white Gaussian noise). Therefore, in this paper, we proposed an edge detection algorithm using a modified coefficient masks with gradient masks and distance weight mask. In order to confirm and verify the performance of the proposed algorithm, we simulated and compared proposed algorithm to conventional methods on various standard images added AWGN with a standard deviation ${\sigma}$=15, 30 and proposed algorithm shows superior edge detection characteristics in processed images.

Recently, the demand for Zn-Ni electrogalvanized steel sheets for home appliances and automobiles is increasing. Products should have a thick plating (30 to 40 g/m²) on both side with a thin thickness (≤ 0.8 mm) and the highest surface quality. By a high current density operation, current is concentrated in the edge part of the steel sheet, resulting in large surface dent defects due to dendritic plating. This can lead to a low productivity due to low line speed operation. To solve this problem, this study aimed to identify factors influencing dendritic plating. A cylindrical electroplating device was manufactured. Effects of cut edge shape and thickness of steel plate, current density, temperature, flow rate, electrolyte concentration, and pH on dendrite generation of Zn-Ni electroplating were examined. To investigate effect of edge shape of the steel sheet, the steel sheet was manufactured using three processing methods: shearing, polishing after shearing, and laser. Relative effects thickness and cut edge processing methods of the steel plate, current density, temperature, flow rate, electrolyte concentration, and pH of plating solution on dendrite plating were investigated. To prevent dendrite plating, an edge mask was manufactured and its application effect was investigated.

In this paper, we propose an effective method that automatically detects flaws in air deck by using non-destructive testing. First, Gamma correlation transform, 7 ${\times}$ 7 and 13 ${\times}$ 13 Sobel mask apply to the image of air deck acquired non-destructive testing in order to detect the edge of the image. Second, the edge detection area is smoothed and corrected by mean binarization method. Finally, the region of flaws in air deck is detected by a labeling method after removing the noise by the erosion and the dilation operation. In experimental results, we showed that the proposed detection method is effective in air deck.

In the transmitting process of image signal processing system, there are several different causes of degradation that have been occuring. The main cause of degradation is attributed to the noise. The most representive method of removing noise of image, which is caused by impulse noise environment, is using the SM filter. At edge, the filter has a special feature which has a tendency to decrease. As a result, we proposed a nonlinear filter using the form of mask and the probability of the impulse noise to restore the image considering edge quality in the impulse noise environment. And through the simulation, we compared with the existings and capabilities.
