The color measuring/matching expert system is implemented with a new color measuring method that combines intelligent algorithms with image processing techniques. Color measuring part of the proposed system preprocesses the scanned original color input images to eliminate their distorted components by means of the image histogram technique of image pixels, and then extracts RGB(Red, Green, Blue)data among color information from preprocessed color input images. If the extracted RGB color data does not exist on the matching recipe databases, we can measure the colors for the user who want to implement the model that can search the rules for the color mixing information, using the intelligent modeling techniques such as fuzzy inference system and adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system. Color matching part can easily choose images close to the original color for the user by comparing information of preprocessed color real input images with data-based measuring recipe information of the expert, from the viewpoint of the delta Eformula used in practical process.

In this paper, the real-time detection method of a DDP (Driving Direction Point) is proposed for an unmanned vehicle to safely follow the center of the road. Since the DDP is defined as a center point between two lanes, the lane is first detected using a web camera. For robust detection of the lane, the binary thresholding and the labeling methods are applied to the color camera image as image preprocessing. From the preprocessed image, the lane is detected, taking the intrinsic characteristics of the lane such as width into consideration. If both lanes are detected, the DDP can be directly obtained from the preprocessed image. However, if one lane is detected, the DDP is obtained from the inverse perspective image to guarantee reliability. To verify the proposed method, several experiments to detect the DDPs are carried out using a 4 wheeled vehicle ERP-42 with a web camera.

In this paper, we developed the inspection system of electric vehicle battery plate using image processing. Four cameras are used for acquiring the principal parts of the plate, and several steps of image processing for extracting significant dimensions of the plate such as widths and lengths. As a preceding step, calibration of four cameras is carried for compensating distorted images using dot-arrayed sheet. Coordinate systems for four cameras are defined where one coordinate system is assigned to the reference coordinate system to which the others are relatively described. Line information of the edge in the windowed image is extracted using elaborate edge-detection algorithm, and finally the intersection points between lines are extracted to calculate widths and lengths of the plate from which the error status of the battery plate is decided.

In light of recently developed 3D printers for rapid prototyping, there is increasing attention on the 3D scanner as a 3D data acquisition system for an existing object. This paper presents a prototypical 3D scanner based on a striped laser light image. In order to solve the problem of shadowy areas, the proposed 3D scanner has two cameras with one laser light source. By using a horizontal rotation table and a rotational arm rotating about the latitudinal axis, the scanner is able to scan in all directions. To remove an additional optical filter for laser light pixel extraction of an image, we have adopted a differential image method with laser light modulation. Experimental results show that the scanner's 3D data acquisition performance exhibited less than 0.2 mm of measurement error. Therefore, this scanner has proven that it is possible to reconstruct an object's 3D surface from point cloud data using a 3D scanner, enabling reproduction of the object using a commercially available 3D printer.

In this paper, we present tracking algorithm for the indoor moving object. We research passive method using a camera and image processing. It had been researched to use dynamic based estimators, such as Kalman Filter, Extended Kalman Filter and Particle Filter for tracking moving object. These algorithm have a good performance on real-time tracking, but they have a limit. If the shape of object is changed or object is located on complex background, they will fail to track them. This problem will need the complicated image processing algorithm. Finally, a large algorithm is made from integration of dynamic based estimator and image processing algorithm. For eliminating this inefficiency problem, image based estimator, Mean-shift Algorithm is suggested. This algorithm is implemented by color histogram. In other words, it decide coordinate of object's center from using probability density of histogram in image. Although shape is changed, this is not disturbed by complex background and can track object. This paper shows the results in real camera system, and decides 3D coordinate using the data from mean-shift algorithm and relationship of real frame and camera frame.

내용 기반 영상 검색은 일반적으로 질의 영상을 사용해서 검색한다. 대부분의 사용자는 검색 당시에 자신이 생각하는 질의와 일치하는 영상을 실제로 갖고 있지 않다. 사용자는 검색기가 제공하는 샘플이나 자신이 갖고 있는 영상 중에서 검색하고자 하는 개념과 비슷한 영상을 질의 영상으로 사용한다. 그러나, 이 질의 영상은 사용자가 생각하는 개념을 충분히 반영하지 못하는 경우가 대부분이다. 따라서 사용자는 자신이 원하는 결과를 얻기 위해서 검색을 여러 번 하게 된다. 이는 최초 검색에서 적절한 질의 영상을 사용하지 못하고 있기 때문이다. 검색 시스템의 검색엔진도 중요하지만, 적절한 질의의 사용 여부에 의해 검색 결과가 크게 좌우된다. 적절한 질의 사용의 중요성은 기존의 텍스트 기반 검색에서 이미 알려진 사실이다. 영상 검색에서도 효과 적인 검색을 위해서는 사용자가 생각하는 질의 영상을 구체화하여 질의로 사용하는 기술이 필요하다. 이러한 관점에서, 사용자가 검색하고자 하는 추상적인 개념을 구체화하여 질의 영상으로 사용한다면 검색 성능을 높일 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 사용자가 생각하고 있는 추상적인 질의를 구체화하기 위해 스케치 인터페이스를 개발하였다. 스케치 인터페이스를 통해서 사용자가 생각한 질의를 구체화하여 이를 검색에 활용함으로서 전체 검색 회수를 줄임으로서 보다 빠른 시간에 효과적으로 검색을 수행할 수 있었다.

In this paper, we develop the displacement measurement system of multiple moving objects based on image processing techniques. The image processing method adopts inertia moment theory for obtaining the centroid measurement of the targets and basic processing algorithm of gray, binary, closing, labeling and so on. To get precise displacement measurement in spite of multiple moving targets, a CGD camera with zoom is used and the position of camera is changed by a pan/tilt system. The fiducial marks on the fixed positions are used as the sensing points for the image processing to recognize the position errors in direction of XY-coordinates. The precise alignment device is pan/tilt of XY-type and the pan/tilt is controlled by DC servomotors which are driven by a microprocessor. Morover, the centers of fiducial marks are obtainted by an inertia moment method. By applying the developed precise position control system for multiple targets, the displacement of multiple moving targets are detected automatically and are also stored in the database system in a real time. By using database system and internet, the displacement datum can be confirmed at a great distance and analyzed. Finally, the effectiveness of developed system is shown in experimental results and realized the precision about 0.12[mm] in the position control of XY-coordinates.

Position of the vehicle for driving is essential to autonomous navigation. However, there appears GPS position error due to multipath which is occurred by tall buildings in downtown area. In this paper, GPS position error is corrected by using camera sensor and highly accurate map made with 3D-Lidar. Input image through inverse perspective mapping is converted into top-view image, and it works out map matching with the map which has intensity of 3D-Lidar. Performance comparison was conducted between this method and traditional way which does map matching with input image after conversion of map to pinhole camera image. As a result, longitudinal error declined 49% and complexity declined 90%.

There are studied for filmness methods due to disadvantage of conventional X-ray system. Have high DQE, high SNR, amorphous selenium was investigated with image plate. In this point, characteristics of all amorphous selenium image plate was investigated to understand the relationship between the amount of the X-ray exposure and the superficial charge potential in this study. Specially, changes in charge at the surface of the amorphous selenium plate with respect to change of X-ray energy(KeV) was investigated. It was found that the surface charge potential at the amorphous selenium inclosed with respect to the increse in X-ray exposure and that the changed surface potential was a semilinearity in 12.5KeV - 22.5KeV range. Therefore, which suggests that these results call be applied to the development of X-ray image plate.
