In this article, we present a new DICOM object able to create image-based annotations in DICOM image. Since the proposed image-based annotation uses images themselves of annotation, various types like character, sketch, and scanning image, etc., can be imported into annotation easily. The proposed annotation is inserted into DICOM image directly but they do not influence original DICOM image quality by using independent data channel. The proposed annotation is expected to be very useful to medium and small clinics that cannot afford picture archiving and communication systems or electronic medical record.

There are several types of defects of SMDs mounted on PCB, that is, missing components, misalignment, wrong parts and poor solder joints. This research study mainly focuses on measuring of deviation of SMD leads using the partial image of component, not using the full image. This processing based on the partial image has the advantage of the reduction in calculation time compared to the full image. Since position of lead is calculated with respect of the reduction in calculation time compared to the full image. Since position of lead is calculated with respect to pad, the accuracy of the system is not dependent on percise positioning stage. The grabbed image of gray scale is converted into binary format using a cutomatic threshold. After small fragments in the image is removed by a series of morphology operations such as opening and closing, the centroids of PCB pads and SMD leads is obtained together with labeling of blobs. Translational shift and rotationial angle of SMD are succedingly estimated using above information and chip data. The expression that can calculate the maximum deviation of leads with respect to PCB pads has been derived, and inferior mounting of SMD is judged by a given criterion. Some experiments have been executed to verify this measuring scheme.

A camouflaged encryption scheme based on Hadamard matrix and ghost imaging is proposed. In the process of the encryption, an orthogonal matrix is used as the projection pattern of ghost imaging to improve the definition of the reconstructed images. The ciphertext of the secret image is constrained to the camouflaged image. The key of the camouflaged image is obtained by the method of sparse decomposition by principal component orthogonal basis and the constrained ciphertext. The information of the secret image is hidden into the information of the camouflaged image which can improve the security of the system. In the decryption process, the authorized user needs to extract the key of the secret image according to the obtained random sequences. The real encrypted information can be obtained. Otherwise, the obtained image is the camouflaged image. In order to verify the feasibility, security and robustness of the encryption system, binary images and gray-scale images are selected for simulation and experiment. The results show that the proposed encryption system simplifies the calculation process, and also improves the definition of the reconstructed images and the security of the encryption system.

The key technology for developing high quality LCDs is about manufacturing BLUs with homogeneous dot distributions. Commonly, homogeneous dot distributions are obtained by the halftoning methods which convert a gray-scale image to a binary image. Among many halftoning algorithms, the error-diffusion technique based on the principle distance is known to show homogeneous dot distributions. However, this technique has a drawback; the extent of the principle distance at each pixel with respect to those of the neighboring pixels can be too small or big creating a gap or overlap. In this paper, we propose a new error diffusion algorithm based on the variable principle distance which improves the existing error diffusion technique based on the principle distance. The variable principle distance at a given pixel is calculated with gray-scale values of the pixel and its neighbors and thus the principle distance value is variable depending on the direction from that pixel. This variable principle distance technique helps BLUs obtain homogeneous dot distributions.

Scanimation is utilized in various fields due to its simple and easy basic principle, whereas mostly it is expressed in gray scale, and the cases of expressing with color is rare. This research classified scanimation into form change of the images with no connectivity, continuous motion of the images with connectivity, and optical illusion with continuity along with visualization effect based on the advanced research and utilization case, and conducted a comparative analysis of scanimation per type applied with color scheme by color difference based on PCCS(Practical Color Co-ordinate System) system. Based on this research, the researcher intended to suggest various direction and expressive method of scanimation using color, expecting the research result could be a valuable reference for the researches utilizing scanimation, henceforth.

In this paper. we generate a virtual right image corresponding to the input left image by using given RGB texture data and 8 bit gray scale depth data. We first transform the depth data to disparity data and then produce the virtual right image with this disparity. We also proposed a stereo image synthesis algorithm which is adaptable to a viewer's position and an real-time processing algorithm with a fast LUT(look up table) method. Finally, we could synthesize a total of eleven stereo images with different view points for SD quality of a texture image with 8 bit depth information in a real time.

In this paper, we developed the profile analysis-based machine vision system for inspecting assembly parts in the industrial field. Implemented system composed of triple set of camera: one was used for acquiring slant image; other is required to acquire a top image; the other was used for side image. After obtaining parts which have gray scale image, threshold value was calculated by analyzing the profile of the image. Experimental results showed that proposed algorithm have a good performance for detecting fault parts and for classifying each parts as well.

This work describes a binary image based fast Difference of Gaussian (DoG) filter using zero-dimensional (0-d) convolution and state machine look up tables (LUTs) for image and video stitching hardware platforms. The proposed approach for using binary images to obtain DoG filtering can significantly reduce the data size compared to conventional gray scale based DoG filters, yet binary images still preserve the key features of the image such as contours, edges, and corners. Furthermore, the binary image based DoG filtering can be realized with zero-dimensional convolution and state machine LUTs which eliminates the major portion of the adder and multiplier blocks that are generally used in conventional DoG filter hardware engines. This enables fast computation time along with the data size reduction which can lead to compact and low power image and video stitching hardware blocks. The proposed DoG filter using binary images has been implemented with a FPGA (Altera DE2-115), and the results have been verified.

In this paper, we propose a new class of segmentation technique for feature extraction based on the statistical and regional classification at each vertical or horizontal line of digital image data. Data is processed and clustered at each line, different from the point or space process. They are designed to segment gray-scale sectional images using a horizontal and vertical line process due to their statistical and property differences, and to extract the feature. The techniques presented here show efficient results in case of the gray level overlap and not having threshold image. Such images are also not easy to be segmented by the global or local threshold methods. Line pixels inform us the sectionable data, and can be set according to cluster quality due to the differences of histogram and statistical data. The total segmentation on line clusters can be obtained by adaptive extension onto the horizontal axis. Each processed region has its own pixel value, resulting in feature extraction. The advantage and effectiveness of the line-cluster approach are both shown theoretically and demonstrated through the region-segmental carotid artery medical image processing.
