This paper presents two sequential advanced split and merge algorithms and a parallel image segmentation algorithm based on them. First, the two advanced methods are obtained from the combination of edge detection and classic split and merge to solve the inherent problems of the classical method. Besides, the parallel image segmentation algorithm on mesh-connected MIMD system considers three types in the merge stage to reduce the communication overhead between processors, such as intraprocessor merge, interprocessor with boundary merge, and interprocessor without boundary merge. Finally , we prove that the proposed algorithms achieve the improved performance by implementing them.

Satellite image for national land monitoring is required high resolution and natural color with multi spectral band. the image is expensive as higher resolution. We need cheap image relatively in economic viewpoint but the image serves sufficient resolution to monitor national land. We merged two images to one image and evaluated the result. the two images which are used at the merge test are high resolution(2.5m per pixel) panchromatic and low resolution(10m per pixel) multi spectral image of SPOT-5 satellite. The result of this study. We made the merge image to have sufficient resolution for national monitoring.

The goal of image merging techniques are to enhance the resolution of low-resolution images using the detail information of the high-resolution images. Among the several image merging methods, wavelet-based image merging techniques have the advantages of efficient decorrelation of image bands and time-scale analysis. However, they have no regard for spatial information between the bands. In other words, multiresolution data merging methods merge the same information-the detail information of panchromatic image-with other band images, without considering specific characteristics. Therefore, a merged image contains much unnecessary information. In this paper, we discussed this 'mixing' effect and, proposed a method to classify the detail information of the panchromatic image according to the spatial and spectral characteristics, and to minimize distortion of the merged image.

In this paper, we propose a binarization algorithm using LVQ-Merge clustering method for fast and accurate extraction of cells from cell images. The proposed method clusters pixel data of a given image by using LVQ to remove noise and divides the result into two clusters by applying a hierarchical clustering algorithm to improve the accuracy of binarization. As a result, the execution speed is somewhat slower than that of the conventional LVQ or Otsu algorithm. However, the results of the binarization have very good quality and are almost identical to those judged by the human eye. Especially, the bigger and the more complex the image, the better the binarization quality. This suggests that the proposed method is a useful method for medical image processing field where high-resolution and huge medical images must be processed in real time. In addition, this method is possible to have many clusters instead of two cluster, so it can be used as a method to complement a hierarchical clustering algorithm.

This paper proposes an image stabilization method for arbitrary disturbances, such as rotation, translation and zoom movement, using the SIFT (Scale Invariant Feature Transform). In addition, image stabilization was carried out using the image division and merge technique when moving objects appear on the scene. Finally, the experimental results showed that the suggested image stabilization scheme produced superior performance compared to the previous ones.

In this paper, we study about the vehicle detection algorithm which is in the process of travelling from the road. An input image is segmented by means of split and merge algorithm. And two largest segmented regions are removed for reducing search region and speed up processing time. In order to detect the back side of the front vehicle considers a vertical/horizontal component, uses an integral image with to apply Haar-like methods which are the possibility of shortening a calculation time, classified with SVM. The simulation result of the method which is proposed appeared highly.

In this paper, we propose a hybrid analysis method(HAM) based on gray-intensity information from natural scene images. The HAM is composed of GIA(Gray-intensity Information Analysis) and SMA(Split/Merge Analysis). Our experimental results show that the proposed approach is superior to conventional methods both in simple and complex images.

This image of Kangseogu in Pusan, is a digital merge of aerial photos by scale of 1/1,200 map. The merge was carried out 2nd affine and bilinear interpolation. It can improve digital classification to help choose training sites and interprete classification results, and improve visual interpretation, as in this case, by adding detailed information to the multispectral TM data.

In this paper, we propose color image segmentation by region merging method preserving the boundary of an object. The proposed method selects initial region by using quantized image's index map after vector quantizing an original image. After then, we merge regions by applying boundary restricted factor in order to consider the boundary of an object in HSI color space. Also we merge the regions in RGB color space for non-processed regions in HSI color space. And we reduce processing time by decreasing iterative process in region merging algorithm. Experimental results have demonstrated the superiority in region's segmentation results and processing time for various images.

In this paper, we describe a study of a vehicle detection method based on a Boosting Classifier which uses Histogram of Oriented Gradient (HOG) features and Image Segmentation techniques. An input image is segmented by means of a split and merge algorithm. Then, the two largest segmented regions are removed in order to reduce the search region and speed up processing time. The HOG features are then calculated for each pixel in the search region. In order to detect the vehicle region we used the AdaBoost (adaptive boost) method, which is well known for classifying samples with two classes. To evaluate the performance of the proposed method, 537 training images were used to train and learn the classifier, followed by 500 non-training images to provide the recognition rate. From these experiments we were able to detect the proper image 98.34% of the time for the 500 non-training images. In conclusion, the proposed method can be used for detecting the location of a vehicle in an intelligent vehicle control system.
