The purpose of this paper is to develop an automatic measuring system based on the digital image processing which can be applied to the in-process measurement of the characteristics of the thin thickness. The derivative operators is used for edge detection in gray level image. This concept can be easiliy illustrated with the aid of object shows an image of a simple light object on a dark background, the gray level profile along a horizontal scan line of the image, and the first and second derivatives of the profile. The first derivative of an edge modeled in this manner is () in all regions of constant gray level, and assumes a constant value during a gray level transition. The experimental results indicate that the developed qutomatic inspection system can be applied in real situation.

For the analysis of textured image, it requires large storage space and computation time to calculate the matrix features such as SGLDM(Spatial Gray Level Dependence Matrix). NGLDM(Neighboring Gray Level Dependence Matrix). NSGLDM(Neighboring Spatial Gray Level Dependence Matrix) and GLRLM(Gray Level Run Length Matrix). In spite of a large amount of information that each matrix contains, a set of several correlated scalar features calculated from the matrix is not sufficient to approximate it. In this paper, we propose a new classifier for textured images based on these matrices in which the projected vectors of each matrix on the meaningful directions are used as features. In the proposed method, an unknown image is classified to the class of a known image that gives the maximum similarity between the projected model vector from the known image and the vector from the unknown image. In the experiment to classify images of agricultural products, the proposed method shows good performance as much as 85-95% of correct classification ratio.

A kind of image analysis system is used to investigate the structural features of the papers made from Indian mallow. The screen mark on the paper was identified and analyzed. The dusts, shives and fiber bundles were manifested and calculated. In the aspect of Indian mallow hanji's surface characteristics analyzed by an Image analyzer, the average of gray level and its standard deviation hanji from the woody core were rather lower than of bast fiber pulp because of better sheet formation of the formers. Hower. high brightness hanji showed high value of gray level. The sheet formation and paper opacity were increased with the decrease of standard deviation of gray level. From these results, gray level measurement could be used to predict the paper opacity as well as sheet formation.

In this paper, we present a new automatic thresholding algorithm based on maximum entropy of two-dimensional pixel histogram. While most of the previous algorithms select thresholds depending only on the histogram of gray level itself in the image, the presented algorithm considers 2D relational histogram of gray levels of two adjacent pixels in the image. Thus, the new algorithm tends to leave salient edge features on the image after thresholding. The experimental results show the good performance of the presented algorithm.

This paper introduces a new preprocessing scheme to replace original data of gray scale images with particular ordered data so that performance of lossless compression can be improved more efficiently. As a kind of preprocessing technique to maximize performance of entropy encoder, the proposed method converts the input image data into more compressible form. Before encoding a stream of the input image, the proposed preprocessor counts co-occurrence frequencies for neighboring pixel pairs. Then, it replaces each pair of adjacent gray values with particular ordered numbers based on the investigated co-occurrence frequencies. When compressing ordered image using entropy encoder, we can expect to raise compression rate more highly because of enhanced statistical feature of the input image. In this paper, we show that lossless compression rate increased by up to 37.85% when comparing results from compressing preprocessed and non-preprocessed image data using entropy encoder such as Huffman, Arithmetic encoder.

이 논문에서는 유전자 알고리즘을 이용하여 기존 이미지와 유사한 흑백 이미지를 자동으로 생성하는 기법을 제안한다. 유전자 알고리즘을 현실 문제에 적용하기 위해 가장 중요한 설계 요소인 유전자 모델링을 어떻게 할 것인지에 대하여 2가지 기법을 제안하였다. 제안한 각 기법을 이용하여 2가지 크기의 흑백 영상으로 실험을 진행하였다. 실험 결과, 이미지 생성을 위한 유전자 모델링에 있어서 각 기법의 진화 성능에 큰 차이가 있음을 확인하였다. 따라서 향후 기존 이미지와 유사한 이미지를 생성하거나, 서로 다른 이미지를 합성한 이미지를 생성하기 위해 빠르고 자연스럽게 학습시키기 위해서는 유전자 모델링을 신중하게 결정해야 함을 파악할 수 있다.

Tongue diagnosis is one of the most important diagnostic methods in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). Tongue image segmentation aims to extract the image object (i.e., tongue body), which plays a key role in the process of manufacturing an automated tongue diagnosis system. It is still challenging, because there exists the personal diversity in tongue appearances such as size, shape, and color. This paper proposes an innovative segmentation method that uses image thresholding, gray projection and active contour model (ACM). Specifically, an initial object region is first extracted by performing image thresholding in HSI (i.e., Hue Saturation Intensity) color space, and subsequent morphological operations. Then, a gray projection technique is used to determine the upper bound of the tongue body root for refining the initial object region. Finally, the contour of the refined object region is smoothed by ACM. Experimental results on a dataset composed of 100 color tongue images showed that the proposed method obtained more accurate segmentation results than other available state-of-the-art methods.

Vegetation segmentation in a field color image is a process of distinguishing vegetation objects of interests like crops and weeds from a background of soil and/or other residues. The performance of the process is crucial in automatic precision agriculture which includes weed control and crop status monitoring. To facilitate the segmentation, color indices have predominantly been used to transform the color image into its gray-scale image. A thresholding technique like the Otsu method is then applied to distinguish vegetation parts from the background. An obvious demerit of the thresholding based segmentation will be that classification of each pixel into vegetation or background is carried out solely by using the color feature of the pixel itself without taking into account color features of its neighboring pixels. This paper presents a new pixel-based segmentation method which employs a multi-layer perceptron neural network to classify the gray-scale image into vegetation and nonvegetation pixels. The input data of the neural network for each pixel are 2-dimensional gray-level values surrounding the pixel. To generate a gray-scale image from a raw RGB color image, a well-known color index called Excess Green minus Excess Red Index was used. Experimental results using 80 field images of 4 vegetation species demonstrate the superiority of the neural network to existing threshold-based segmentation methods in terms of accuracy, precision, recall, and harmonic mean.

A vehicle license plate includes the most important information for recognition and classification of the vehicle. In this paper, we propose a vehicle license plate recognition system using image binarization and template matching. In the proposed system, an image of the vehicle license plate is converted into a gray scale image and the gray image undergoes the binarization process. Finally, the numbers on the plate are extracted from the binary image using the template matching algorithm.
