In the distribution of digital image, the median filtering is used for a forgery. This paper proposed the algorithm of a image forensics detection for the classification of median filtering. For the solution of this grave problem, the feature vector is composed of 42-Dim. The detected quantity 32, 64 and 128 of forgery image edges, respectively, which are processed by the Hough transform, then it extracted from the start-end point coordinates of the Hough Lines. Also, the Hough Peaks of the Angle-Distance plane are extracted. Subsequently, both of the feature vectors are composed of the proposed scheme. The defined 42-Dim. feature vector is trained in SVM (Support Vector Machine) classifier for the MF classification of the forged images. The experimental results of the proposed MF detection algorithm is compared between the 10-Dim. MFR and the 686-Dim. SPAM. It confirmed that the MF forensic classification ratio of the evaluated performance is 99% above with the whole test image types: the unaltered, the average filtering ($3{\times}3$), the JPEG (QF=90 and 70)) compression, the Gaussian filtered ($3{\times}3$ and $5{\times}5$) images, respectively.

Searching the region of interest on the Hough transform domain is done to determine the real road boundary on the high speed way. The mathematical morphology is employed to obtain the gradient image which is utilized in Hough transform. Many possible candidates of lines could appear on the ordinary road environment and simple selection of the strongest line segments likely to be fault boundary lines. To solve such problem, the search area for the candidates of the road boundary which is called the region of interest is limited on the Hough space. The effectiveness of the proposed algorithm has been shown with experimental results.

In this research, a mesh connected VLSI structure is proposed for the real time computation of the generalized Hough transform(GHT). The purpose of the research is to design a generalized Hough transformer that can be realized as a single chip processor. The GHT has been modified to yield a highly parallel structure consisting of simple processing elements(PEs) and communication networks. In the proposed structure, the GHT can be computed by first assigning an image pixel to a PE and performing shift and add operations. The result of the CAD circuit simulation shows that it can be computed in the time proportional to the number of pixels in the pattern. In addition to the Hough transformer, the peak detector has been designed to reduce 1)the number of the I/O operations between the transformer and the host computer and 2) the host computer's burden for peak detection by transmitting only the local peaks detected from the transformed accumulator. It is expected that the proposed single chip Hough transformer with peak detector makes a fast and inexpensive edge based object recognition systems possible for many industrial and military applications.

This paper is on the blind signal separation(BSS) method by the geometric method. To separate the signal sources, we use Hough transform and BSS. Hough transform is a geometric method which let us know the local informations of the signal. We find the orientations of signals by Hough transform and know the number of signal sources. When the number of sensors is more than the number of sources. the BSS algorithm can separate the mixtures well in the time domain. This algorithm has a good performance in converging fast. We had checked up the quality of the algorithm after separating the mixed signals. The results of simulations show that this BSS method has the abnormal waveforms due to unconverging coefficients in the beginning, and stably has the separated waveforms which almost equal to the sources in the most period.

This paper presents a method of detecting lines and ellipses from the image by using Hough transform(HT) known as a robust line detection method against noise. Lines are first detected by conventional HT. Then points of the lines are eliminated to reduce the calculation cost and to ease detection of ellipses. For ellipse defection, parameters of the ellipse are calculated by Least Square Method using particular points that contain geometric properties of the ellipse, instead of accumlating Hough array. Circles are detected in the same way as ellipse detection.

In this paper, we proposed a novel algorithm to detect the center of pupil in frontal view face. This algorithm, at first, extract an eye region from the face image using integral projection function and variance projection function. In an eye region, detect the center of pupil positions using circular hough transform with sobel edge mask. The experimental results show good performance in detecting pupil center from FERET face image.

In this paper, a vision-based deep learning algorithm and image processing method are proposed to detect bolt-loosening in steel connections. To achieve this objective, the following approaches are implemented. First, a bolt-loosening detection method that includes regional convolutional neural network(RCNN)-based deep learning algorithm and Hough line transform(HLT)-based image processing algorithm are designed. The RCNN-based deep learning algorithm is developed to identify and crop bolts in a connection image. The HLT-based image processing algorithm is designed to estimate the bolt angles from the cropped bolt images. Then, the proposed vision-based method is evaluated for verifying bolt-loosening detection in a lab-scale girder connection. The accuracy of the RCNN-based bolt detector and HLT-based bolt angle estimator are examined with respect to various perspective distortions.

A face boundary can be approximated by an ellipse with five-dimensional parameters. This property allows an ellipse detection algorithm to be adapted to detecting faces. However, the construction of a huge five-dimensional parameter space for a Hough transform is quite unpractical. Accordingly, we Propose a selectively attentional Hough transform method for detecting faces from a symmetric contour in an image. The idea is based on the use of a constant aspect ratio for a face, gradient information, and scan-line-based orientation decomposition, thereby allowing a 5-dimensional problem to be decomposed into a two-dimensional one to compute a center with a specific orientation and an one-dimensional one to estimate a short axis. In addition, a two-point selection constraint using geometric and gradient information is also employed to increase the speed and cope with a cluttered background. After detecting candidate face regions using the proposed Hough transform, a multi-layer perceptron verifier is adopted to reject false positives. The proposed method was found to be relatively fast and promising.

This paper presents a parametric line equation on the log-polar mapped plane to detect the straight lines in an original image. The log-polar edge image used in Hough transform is constructed by combining the edge images of both fovea and periphery. The foveal edge image detected by a Sobel mask on the Cartesian plane is transformed to the log-polar plane by forward mapping but the edge detection of the peripheral region is obtained by directly applying the newly developed mask to the log-polar plane. This paper also proposes a analytic method then determining a border between the fovea and the periphery regions.

This paper proposes a new feature extraction method which is effectively used in character recognition, and validate the effectiveness through various computational methods for similiarity degree. To get feature vectors used in this method, Hough transform is applied to character image, which is used for edge extraction in image processing. By that transformation technique, strokes could be extracted and feature vectors constructed suitably. The characteristic of this method is solving the difficulties in stroke extraction through transform space analysis, which is induced by noise and blurring, and representing high recognition rate 99.3% within 10 candidates in relative low dimension.
