The MST (Minimum Spanning Tree) matching algorithm had been used for searching the part accord points extracted from the gray level fingerprint image. The method, however, had some limitations. To obtain the relationship between enrolled and inputted fingerprint, the MST was used to generate the tree graph that represent the unique graph for given fingerprint data. From the graph, the accord points are estimated. However, the shape of the graph highly depends on the positions of the minutiae. If there are some pseudo minutiae caused by noise, the shape of the graph will be different In this paper, to overcome the limitations of the MST, we proposed CRM (Center of Rotation Method) algorithm that found the true part accord points. The proposed method is based on the assumption ...

In developing an automated surface inspect algorithm, we have designed a hierarchical classifier using neural network. The defects which exist on the surface of cold mill strip have a scattering or singular distribution. We have considered three major problems, that is preprocessing, feature extraction and defect classification. In preprocessing, Top-hit transform, adaptive thresholding, thinning and noise rejection are used Especially, Top-hit transform using local minimax operation diminishes the effect of bad lighting. In feature extraction, geometric, moment, co-occurrence matrix, and histogram ratio features are calculated. The histogram ratio feature is taken from the gray-level image. For defect classification, we suggest a hierarchical structure of which nodes are multilayer neural network classifiers. The proposed algorithm reduced error rate by comparing to one-stage structure.

The system for the real time face detection is described in this paper. For face verification, support vector machine (SVM) was utilized. Although SVM performs quit well, SVM has a drawback that the computational cost is high because all pixels in a mask are used as an input feature vector of SVM. To resolve this drawback, a method to reduce the dimension of feature vectors using the integer DCT was proposed. Also for the real time face detection applications, low-complexity methods for face candidate detection in a gray image were used. As a result, the accurate face detection was performed in real time.

In a traditional topology optimization method, material properties are usually distributed by finite element density and visualized by a gray level image. The distribution method based on element density is adequate for a great mass of 2-D topology optimization problems. However, when it is used for 3-D topology optimization, it is always difficult to obtain a smooth model representation, and easily appears a virtualconnect phenomenon especially in a low-density domain. The 3-D structural topology optimization method has been developed using the node density instead of the element density that is based on SIMP (solid isotropic microstructure with penalization) algorithm. A computer code based on Matlab was written to validate the proposed method. When it was compared to the element density as design variable, this method could get a more uniform density distribution. To show the usefulness of this method, several typical examples of structure topology optimization are presented.

영상에서의 경계선추출은 영상의 강도의 변화를 이용한 경계영역의 가시화 기법이므로 gray level 영상이 가지는 강도를 이용하여 에지를 찾을 수 있다. 뇌 영상에는 MRI 영상과 같이 해부학적인 정보가 큰 영상과, PET 영상같이 perfusion으로 분석해야 할 영상이 있는데 그 경계가 뚜렷한 MRI 영상과 달리 PET 뇌 영상은 영상의 특성상 경계영역의 구분이 모호한 실정이다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 영상의 특성에 따라 뇌 영상에서 영상 강도에 대해 등분할을 한 후 vectorgram에서 magnitude의 영역을 선택하여 영상을 분할 하였다. 그리고 PET 와 MRI영상과 현미경 영상에 대한 결과를 비교하였다. Vertcrgram은 에지정보를 가지는 영상에 대해 벡터요소를 그래프화 한 것으로 방향성에 대한 평가를 통해 영역 분할을 하였다. 이러한 PET 영상의 2차원 분할 방법은 3차원 PET 영상 분석에 응용될 수 있을 것이다.

In this paper, we proposed watermarking algorithm based on wavelet transform. Discrete wavelet transform is involved to calculate additive energy strength. Considering imperceptibility, after computing contrast and texture sensitivity in gray-level image, we inserted watermark with variable weight due to the feature of coefficient block. Consequently, applying human visual system, the experimental results showed that the proposed algorithm satisfied the properties of robustness and imperceptibility that are the major conditions of watermarking.

웨이브렛 변환을 사용한 영상은 인간의 시각체계(HVS)에 적적한 양자화 및 부호화를 위한 계층적 구조를 제공한다. 인간의 시각이 민감하게 감지하는 부분을 더 정확하게 부호화 하고, 그렇지 못한 부분에서는 적절한 정보의 손실을 허용하는 원리를 이상적으로 적용할 수 있다. 이런 웨이브렛 변환영상의 통계적 특성을 이용한 제로트리 부호화 기법은 중요한 영상계수를 선별하여 영상전체에서 의미있는 계수를 순서대로 부호화 함으로써 매입 파일(Embeded File)을 생성한다. 본 연구에서는 제로트리 부호화 과정중 불확실 구간(Uncertainty Interval)에서 발생하는 오차(Error)를 줄이기 위하여 LBG(Line Bute Gray) 알고리즘을 도입하여 최적의 오차 코드북을 생성한 후 복원시 사용함으로써 결과의 향상을 보였다. 오차교정(Error Correction)은 EZW(Embeded Zerotee Wavelet) 부호화 과정에서 손실되기 쉬운 고주파수 밴드에 적용하여 복원시 영상의 자세한(detail) 성분을 살리는데 효과적이다. JPEG과 같은 DCT 기반 영상압축 결과에 비하여 화질에서 더 좋은 성능을 보일뿐아니라, DCT 특유의 블록화 현상도 제거되었다.

최근 인터넷을 통한 전자 저작물 유통이 확산됨에 따라 저작권을 보호하기 위한 디지털 워터마킹이 많이 이용되고 있다. 종래의 디지털 워터마킹 기법에서는 주로 도장 이미지를 워터마크로 사용해왔다. 본 논문은 도장 이미지가 아닌 복잡한 형태의 이미지를 삽입 할 수 있도륵 워터마크 이미지의 정보를 웨이브릿 변환을 통해 추출하여 삽입, 복원해내는 방법을 제안한다. 또한 웨이브릿 변환 계수를 제로 트리 웨이브릿 부호화 방법을 사용하여 워터마킹에 가장 적절한 계수를 선택해서 저작권 정보를 삽입하도록 한다. 이렇게 하면 적합한 대역에 워터마크를 삽입하게 되어 이미지 변형이 적고 공격에도 강인하게 된다. 이 과정에서 삽입 위치를 랜덤하게 하는 부가적인 과정을 생략할 수 있게 함으로써 효율적인 워터마크 첨가를 가능하게 하였다.

The extraction of distinct points such as corner points and circular features is a basic procedure in digital photogrammetry and computer vision. This paper describes the extraction of image features from the raw images (gray value images), especially Forstner interest corner points. The mathematical model of the Forstner interest operator as well as the behavior in the presence of noise are investigated. Experiments with real images prove the feasibility of the Forstner interest operator in the field of Digital Photogrammetry.

An experimental investigation was performed to study the characteristics of laminar water flow in a horizontal circular tube by using liquid crystal. A simultaneous measurement technique has been employed to measure the velocity field in a two-dimensional cross section of fluid flow. This study found the velocity distributions for Re = 1,594 ~ 2,510 along longitudinal sections and the results appear to be physically reasonable. To determine some characteristics of the laminar flow, 2D PIV technique is employed for velocity measurement by using liquid crystal in water. The experimental rig was manufactured from an acryle tube. The test tube diameter of 25mm, and a length of 1200mm. The used algorithm is the gray level cross-correlation method by using Kimura et al. in 1986.
