Document image binarization is an important pre-processing step in document analysis and archiving. The state-of-the-art models for document image binarization are variants of encoder-decoder architectures, such as FCN (fully convolutional network) and U-Net. Despite their success, they still suffer from three limitations: (1) reduced feature map resolution due to consecutive strided pooling or convolutions, (2) multiple scales of target objects, and (3) reduced localization accuracy due to the built-in invariance of deep convolutional neural networks (DCNNs). To overcome these three challenges, we propose an improved semantic segmentation model, referred to as DP-LinkNet, which adopts the D-LinkNet architecture as its backbone, with the proposed hybrid dilated convolution (HDC) and spatial pyramid pooling (SPP) modules between the encoder and the decoder. Extensive experiments are conducted on recent document image binarization competition (DIBCO) and handwritten document image binarization competition (H-DIBCO) benchmark datasets. Results show that our proposed DP-LinkNet outperforms other state-of-the-art techniques by a large margin. Our implementation and the pre-trained models are available at https://github.com/beargolden/DP-LinkNet.

A hybrid method solving regularized structured linear total least norm (RSTLN) problems, which have highly ill-conditioned coefficient matrix with special structures, is suggested and analyzed. This scheme combining RSTLN algorithm and separation by parts guarantees the convergence of parameters and has an advantages in reducing the residual norm and relative error of solutions. Computational tests for problems arisen in signal processing and image formation process confirm that the presenting method is effective for more accurate solutions to (R)STLN problem than the (R)STLN algorithm.

오늘날, 디지털 이미지 도구 프로그램은 전문가가 아니더라도 누구나 개인용 컴퓨터를 이용하여 쉽고 빠르게 영상을 조작하여 사용할 수 있게 되었다. 그 결과 디지털 컨텐츠의 저작권 보호 및 변조된 영상의 무결성을 보증하는 것이 주요 문제가 되고있다. 본 논문에서는 워터마크 정보는 물론 조작된 영상의 위치까지 검출할 수 있는 하이브리드 워터마킹 알고리즘을 설계하였다. 이를 위해 이산 웨이블릿 변환을 이용하여 영상의 저주파 대역에 PN-시권스를 워터마크로 삽입하였고, 원영상 없이도 검출이 가능하게 하였다. 워터마크 신호를 파괴하기 위한 다양한 공격의 실험 결과 제안한 알고리즘은 강인성을 나타내었고 추출 후 변조된 영상의 위치도 확인할 수 있었다.

Remote sensing image segmentation plays an important role in realizing intelligent city construction. The current mainstream segmentation networks effectively improve the segmentation effect of remote sensing images by deeply mining the rich texture and semantic features of images. But there are still some problems such as rough results of small target region segmentation and poor edge contour segmentation. To overcome these three challenges, we propose an improved semantic segmentation model, referred to as MRU-Net, which adopts the U-Net architecture as its backbone. Firstly, the convolutional layer is replaced by BasicBlock structure in U-Net network to extract features, then the activation function is replaced to reduce the computational load of model in the network. Secondly, a hybrid multi-scale recognition module is added in the encoder to improve the accuracy of image segmentation of small targets and edge parts. Finally, test on Massachusetts Buildings Dataset and WHU Dataset the experimental results show that compared with the original network the ACC, mIoU and F1 value are improved, and the imposed network shows good robustness and portability in different datasets.

As a method to control the bacteria number in adequate level, a real time control system based on microscope image processing measurement for the bacteria is adopted. For the experiment, Ammonia-oxidizing bacteria such as Acinetobacter sp. are used. This paper proposed hybrid method combined watershed algorithm with adaptive automatic thresholding method to enhance segmentation efficiency of overlapped image. Experiments was done to show the effectiveness of the proposed method compared to traditional Otsu's method, Otsu's method with adaptive automatic thresholding method and human visual method.

Early detection of endometrial carcinoma in uterus is essential for effective treatment. Endometrial carcinoma is the worst kind of endometrium cancer among the others since it is considerably more likely to affect the additional parts of the body if not detected and treated early. Non-invasive medical computer vision, also known as medical image processing, is becoming increasingly essential in the clinical diagnosis of various diseases. Such techniques provide a tool for automatic image processing, allowing for an accurate and timely assessment of the lesion. One of the most difficult aspects of developing an effective automatic categorization system is the absence of huge datasets. Using image processing and deep learning, this article presented an artificial endometrium cancer diagnosis system. The processes in this study include gathering a dermoscopy images from the database, preprocessing, segmentation using hybrid Fuzzy C-Means (FCM) and optimizing the weights using the Whale Optimization Algorithm (WOA). The characteristics of the damaged endometrium cells are retrieved using the feature extraction approach after the Magnetic Resonance pictures have been segmented. The collected characteristics are classified using a deep learning-based methodology called Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) and Bi-directional LSTM classifiers. After using the publicly accessible data set, suggested classifiers obtain an accuracy of 97% and segmentation accuracy of 93%.

A stereoscopic particle tracking velocimetry (SPTV) technique based on the 2-frame hybrid particle tracking velocimetry (PTV) method was developed. The expansion of 2D PTV to SPTV is facilitated by the fact that the PTV method tracks individual particle centroids. To evaluate the performance and measurement accuracy of the present SPTV technique, it was applied to flow images of rigid body translation and synthetic standard images of jet shear flow and impinging jet flow. The data processing routine and measurement uncertainty of the SPTV technique are compared with those of conventional stereoscopic particle image velecimet.y (SPBV). In addition, the centroid translation effect of 2D particle image velocimetry (PIV) is defined and its effect on SPIV measurements is discussed. Compared to the SPIV method, the SPTV technique has inherited merits of concise and precise velocity evaluation procedures and provides better spatial resolution and measurement accuracy.

As part of the cell division method, we proposed a method for segmenting images generated by topography microscopes through deep learning-based feature generation and graph segmentation. Hybrid vector shapes preserve the overall shape and boundary information of cells, so most cell shapes can be captured without any post-processing burden. NIH-3T3 and Hela-S3 cells have satisfactory results in cell description preservation. Compared to other deep learning methods, the proposed cell image segmentation method does not require postprocessing. It is also effective in preserving the overall morphology of cells and has shown better results in terms of cell boundary preservation.

효율적인 도로정보의 구축은 GIS에서 가장 중요한 주제이다. 본 논문에서는 도로정보를 자동으로 생성, 구축하기 위하여 모바일 매핑 기술과 영상인식 기술을 결합한 방법을 제안하였다. 모바일 매핑 시스템은 CCD 카메라, GPS, INS를 장착한 차량의 형태를 가지며, 취득한 영상에 나타난 공간객체의 좌표를 사진측량기법을 이용하여 계산한다. 모바일 매핑 시스템에 의한 공간객체 좌표추출과 데이터 구축은 자동화되지 않아 시간이 많이 드는 단점이 있다. 도로의 자동 인식은 영상인식 분야에서도 자동주행차량에 대한 연구의 형태로 진행되어 왔다. 그러나 영상인식에 기반한 방법들은 도로 차선에 적용할 경우 차선의 끊김 차량에 의한 가려짐 좋지 않은 날씨와 조명 등 실제의 도로나 도로변의 다양한 예외상황 때문에 원하는 결과를 얻기 힘든 경우가 많다. 이러한 단점을 보완하기 위하여 본 논문에서는 모바일 매핑 시스템으로부터 획득된 GPS/INS 데이터 및 영상인식 기술을 모두 이용한 자동 도로데이터 생성방법을 제안하였다. 영상에 나타난 도로 차선의 3차원좌표로부터 영상에서 객체가 나타날 위치를 추정하기 위한 방법을 고안하였으며, 이러한 방법은 도로 차선을 찾기 위한 복잡한 영상처리 과정을 대폭 줄일 수 있다. 예외상황 때문에 도로차선을 추출하지 못한 경우에는 스플라인 인터폴레이션에 의하여 값을 얻는다. 인터폴레이션은 교차로나 급격한 변화 지점에 따라 구분된 도로 구간 단위로 이루어진다. 본 논문에서는 제안된 객체좌표 추정방법과 인터폴레이션 기법에 대한 실험 및 결과를 제시하였다.

Though median filter is used for removing noise and smoothing image. But, the result of it has distortion around edge. And then, this paper proposes new noise removing algorithm by recursive morphological processing. Basic operation is same each other, but there is some different processing method between recursive morphology and general morphology theory. This recursive morphological filter can be viewed as the weighted order static filter, and then it has a weighted SE(structuring element). Especially using this algorithm to remove the 10% gaussian noise, this paper confirmed that PSNR is improved about 0.642~1.5757 db reserving edge well better than the results of the traditional median filter.
