Captions include information which relates to the images. In order to obtain the information in the captions, text extraction methods from images have been developed. However, most existing methods can be applied to captions with a fixed height or stroke width using fixed pixel-size or block-size operators which are derived from morphological supposition. We propose an edge connected components based method that can extract Korean captions that are composed of various sizes and fonts. We analyze the properties of edge connected components embedding captions and build a decision tree which discriminates edge connected components which include captions from ones which do not. The images for the experiment are collected from broadcast programs such as documentaries and news programs which include captions with various heights and fonts. We evaluate our proposed method by comparing the performance of the latent caption area extraction. The experiment shows that the proposed method can efficiently extract various sizes of Korean captions.

본 논문에서는 에지 검출을 이용한 잡음 예측 방법을 제안하였다. 이 방법은 필터 기반으로 한 잡음 예측 방법이다. 에지 검출은 잡음 예측에 영향을 미치는 구조나 세밀한 정보들을 제거하기 위함이다. 에지 검출을 하기 위하여, 영상의 세밀함에 안정적인 수정한 래셔널 필터를 사용하였다. 제안한 잡음 예측 방법은 다양한 형태의 영상들의 잡음 예측에 더욱 효율적으로 적용되며 기존의 필터 기반으로 한 잡음 예측 방법들보다 좋은 결과를 얻는다.

The stereoscopic vision system is the algorithm to obtain the depth of target object of stereo vision image. This paper presents an efficient disparity matching method using blue edge filter and graph cut algorithm. We do recommend the use of the simple sobel edge operator. The application of B band sobel edge operator over image demonstrates result with somewhat noisy (distinct border). The basic technique is to construct a specialized graph for the energy function to be minimized such that the minimum cut on the graph also minimizes the energy (either globally or locally). This method has the advantage of saving a lot of data. We propose a preprocessing effective stereo matching method based on sobel algorithm which uses blue edge information and the graph cut, we could obtain effective depth map.

Two-dimensional direct numerical simulation of the edge-tones by the finite difference lattice Boltzmann method (FDLBM) is presented. We use a new lattice BGK compressible fluid model that has an additional term and allow larger time increment comparing the conventional FDLBM, and also use a boundary fitted coordinates. We have succeeded in capturing very small pressure fluctuations result from periodically oscillation of jet around the edge. That pressure fluctuations propagate with the sound speed. It is clarified that the sound wave generated in rather wide region and individual vortices do not affect the sound wave propagation.

본 논문에서는 카메라 회전에 의한 배경의 왜곡이 존재하는 환경에서 조명변화와 대상물체의 흔들림에도 강건한 에지 세그먼트 정합을 통한 이동물체 자동 검출방법을 제안한다. 이동물체 검출을 위한 기존의 연구는 카메라가 고정되어 있는 환경을 대상으로 한 연구가 주를 이루지만 응용분야의 확대로 카메라를 회전함으로써 하나의 카메라로 보다 넓은 영역을 커버할 수 있는 시스템에 대한 요구가 커지고 있다. 본 연구에서는 왜곡이 적은 에지세그먼트 기반 배경 파노라마 영상 생성 방안, 왜곡이 포함된 파노라마 영상에서 신속하게 현재 영상의 배경에지영상을 추출할 수 있는 에지특징 기반 GHT를 이용한 배경영상생성 방안, 시점의 차이와 왜곡을 극복하고 신뢰성 있게 이동 에지 세그먼트를 추출할 수 있는 에지 정합방안을 제안한다. 실험결과 제안한 방법은 조명 변화와 카메라의 흔들림에도 정확한 이동물체 검출이 가능함이 입증되었다.

An approximate method based on an assumed mode method has been presented for the free vibration analysis of a rectangular plate with arbitrary edge constraints. In the presented method, natural frequencies and their mode shapes of the plate are calculated by solving an eigenvalue problem of a multi-degree-of-freedom system matrix equation derived by using Lagrange's equations of motion. Characteristic orthogonal polynomials having the property of Timoshenko beam functions which satisfies edge constraints corresponding to those of the objective plate are used. In order to examine the accuracy of the proposed method, numerical examples of the rectangular plates with various thicknesses and edge constraints have been presented. The results have shown good agreement with those of other methods such as an analytic solution, an approximate solution, and a finite element analysis.

In this paper, a method has been proposed for the fully automatic detection of left ventricular endocardial boundary in B-mode short axis echocardiography without manual intervention by human operator. The proposed method makes use of the weighted model that approximates to endocardium and incomplete edge information for echocardiography. Therefore, this method is more effective than boundary detection by only edge information. The implementation of this method is as follows. First, the proposed algorithms are used in order to detect the approximate boundary, then a weighted model with the approximate boundary is constructed. Finally, the cavity center of the left ventricle performing the Hough transform with the weighted model and edge image can be found automatically, and then the endocardial boundary using detected center, original image, weighted model, and edge image can be detected. validations of this method with experimental results on echo image of dog's heart and clinical echocardiography is verified.

The paper presents a histogram equalization method using the edge information of an image to be processed. The basic idea of this method is to carry out histogram equalization with edge information, which is important and essential for object conformation. In the proposed method, the edge information is used to generate histogram for the equalization process. It is found to be effective to suppress the histogram spikes that cause quantum jumps in mapping function for the equalization process. The proposed method is tested for randomly selected 30 images and compared to conventional approaches with a quantitative measure to check it preserves the structural similarity. Experimental results show that the proposed method has better performance and no artifacts caused by histogram spikes.

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.

제한된 계조를 사용하는 영상장치들은 연속계조 영상과 시각적으로 유사한 영상을 획득하기 위해 하프토닝(halftoning) 방법을 사용한다. 다양한 하프토닝 방법 중, 오차 확산법은 짧은 계산시간과 좋은 화질의 하프톤 영상(halftone image) 획득이 가능하여 다양한 응용 분야에 널리 사용되고 있다. 하지만 이 방법은 인접 픽셀에 오차를 확산하는 과정에서 경계선을 흩트리며, 이로 인해 경계선이 약화 되고, 영상의 선명도를 저하시킨다. 이러한 문제점을 개선하기 위해 본 논문에서 제안된 방법은 Floyd-Steinberg 오차확산법의 필터 가중치를 기반으로 처리 픽셀의 오차와 인접픽셀의 경계선 정보를 고려하여 오차 필터를 적응적으로 결정한다. 이 방법은 경계선 강화를 위한 기존 방법들과 비교해 처리절차가 간단하여 상대적으로 적은 양의 프로세스 자원을 사용한다. 그럼에도 불구하고, 제안된 방법은 하프톤 영상의 경계선을 상당히 개선할 수 있었다. 이와 함께 객관적인 화질 평가를 위해 경계 상관도와 국부 평균 일치도를 이용하여 제안된 방법과 기존방법의 성능을 비교한다.
