The blur amount of an image changes proportional to scene depth. Depth from Defocus (DFD) is an approach in which a depth map can be obtained using blur amount calculation. In this paper, a novel DFD method is proposed in which depth is measured using an infocused and a defocused image. Subbaro's algorithm is used as a preliminary depth estimation method and edge blur estimation is provided to overcome drawbacks in edge.

In this paper, we propose a digital image stabilization technique using edge detection and Lucas-Kanade optical flow in order to minimize the motion of the shaken image. The accuracy of motion estimation based on block matching technique depends on the size of search window, which results in long calculation time. Therefore it is not applicable to real-time system. In addition, since the size of vector depends on that of block, it is difficult to estimate the motion which is bigger than the block size. The proposed method extracts the trust region using edge detection, to estimate the motion of some critical points in trust region based on Lucas-Kanade optical flow algorithm. The experimental results show that the proposed method stabilizes the shaking of motion image effectively in real time.

This paper presents 3D position estimation algorithm with the images of 2D vision sensors which issues Red Laser Slit light and recieves the line images. Since the sensor usually measures 2D position of corner(or edge) of a body and the measured point is not fixed in the body, the additional information of the corner(or edge) is used. That is, corner(or edge) line is straight and fixed in the body. For the body which moves in a plane, the Transformation matrix between the body coordinate and the reference coordinate is analytically found. For the 3D motion body, linearization technique and least mean squares method are used.

Recently, correlation filter based trackers have shown excellent tracking performance and computational efficiency. In order to enhance tracking performance in the correlation filter based tracker, search area which is image patch for finding target must include target. In this paper, two methods to discriminatively represent target in the search area are proposed. Firstly, search area location is estimated using pyramidal Lucas-Kanade algorithm. By estimating search area location before filtering, fast motion target can be included in the search area. Secondly, we investigate multi-channel Local Edge Pattern(LEP) which is insensitive to illumination and noise variation. Qualitative and quantitative experiments are performed with eight dataset, which includes ground truth. In comparison with method without search area estimation, our approach retain tracking for the fast motion target. Additionally, the proposed multi-channel LEP improves discriminative performance compare to existing features.

There have been various studies in Korea to develop a %IMF(Intramuscular Fat Percentage) estimation method suitable for Hanwoo. Recently, a %IMF estimation method using a convolutional neural network (CNN), a kind of deep learning method among artificial intelligence methods, has been studied. In this study, we performed a performance comparison when various preprocessing methods were applied to the %IMF estimation of ultrasound images using CNN as mentioned above. The preprocessing methods used in this study are normalization, histogram equalization, edge enhancement, and a method combining normalization and edge enhancement. When estimating the %IMF of Hanwoo by the conventional method that did not apply preprocessing in the experiment, the accuracy was 98.2%. The other hand, we found that the accuracy improved to 99.5% when using preprocessing with histogram equalization alone or combined regularization and edge enhancement.

A new roof edge detection method based on multi level scales of wavelet function is proposed in this paper roof edge and its direction are obtained in this new methods at one time. Besides. scale characteristics of detecting roof edge is analyzed. And a few new methods on fingerprint image pre-processing are described. A method segmenting foreground/background of fingerprint images is proposed, in which Prior estimation of direction field is not required any more. A segmentation method based on multi-scale roof edges is implemented. and the valid scale range of the method is defined. too. And the method is used to segment ridges and valleys in fingerprint images simultaneously The exact direction fields made up of the direction of each point in ridges can be obtained when detecting ridges exactly based on the roof edge detector, in comparison with the traditional coarse estimation of direction fields. Obviously. it will establish a solid foundation for the sequent fingerprint identification.

본 논문에서는 불규칙하게 변화하는 혼합 잡음이 부가되는 추적 계통의 상태 추정을 위한 적응 추정계통을 제안하였다. 유한수(N)의 이산벡터를 혼합 잡음의 존재 가능한 크기의 범위로 설정하기 위하여 binomial분포, edge분포, binomial-edge혼합 분포, Tchebyscheff분포, Tchebyscheff-edge 혼합 분포 등 불규칙 분포시켰으며, zero detector와 data selector로 구성된 feed forward path를 기존의 적응추정 계통에 삽입시킴으로써 정확한 추정이 가능하였다. 이산 벡터를 불규칙하게 분포시킴으로써 불규칙하게 변화하는 어떠한 크기의 혼합잡음에도 적응 추정이 중단되지 않고 효율적으로 진행되는 컴퓨터 시뮬레이션 결과를 얻었다.

In this paper, we propose a preprocessing method that it is to correct the distortion of text area in Korean signboard images as a preprocessing step to improve character recognition. Distorted perspective in recognizing of Korean signboard text may cause of the low recognition rate. The proposed method consists of four main steps and eight sub-steps: main step consists of potential vertical components detection, vertical components detection, text-boundary estimation and distortion correction. First, potential vertical line components detection consists of four steps, including edge detection for each connected component, pixel distance normalization in the edge, dominant-point detection in the edge and removal of horizontal components. Second, vertical line components detection is composed of removal of diagonal components and extraction of vertical line components. Third, the outline estimation step is composed of the left and right boundary line detection. Finally, distortion of the text image is corrected by bilinear transformation based on the estimated outline. We compared the changes in recognition rates of OCR before and after applying the proposed algorithm. The recognition rate of the distortion corrected signboard images is 29.63% and 21.9% higher at the character and the text unit than those of the original images.

다제약 접근기반 OF(optical flow) 평가기술이 이동 물체의 인식에 자주 이용되고 있다. 그러나 OF 평가시간 뿐만 아니라 오차 문제로 인하여 사용이 제한되고 있다. 본 논문에서는 sobel 에쥐 검출과 다제약 접근기반 OF를 이용하여 효율적으로 움직임 정보를 추출하는 방법을 제안한다. 먼저 에쥐 검출 후 차영상과 영역분할기법으로 영상열 내 이동물체를 검출하고 임계치 처리로 잡음에 의해 검출된 이동물체들을 제거한다. 그리고 OF 최적 제약선을 찾기 위한 CHT와 Voting 누적을 적용한다. 이때 에쥐 검출과 영역분할을 이용함으로써 연속하는 영상열 내에서 이동 물체를 찾기 위한 CHT 계산시간을 현저히 줄이는 것이 가능하다. CHT 기반의 Voting은 최소자승법을 가미함으로써 오차 또한 감소시킨다. 그리고 제약선에 따른 수많은 점들을 계산하는 작업도 변환된 기울기-교점 파라미터를 사용함으로써 줄어들게 된다. 시뮬레이션 결과 영상 내에서 이동물체 인식비가 증가됨을 보였고 이동물체의 움직임 정보를 제공하는 OF 벡터도 매우 효율적으로 검출됨을 확인하였다.
