This paper represents the design of a real-time image preprocessing system. The preprocessing system performs hardware-wise mask operations and thresholding operations at the speed of camera output single rate. The preprocessing system consists of the preprocessing board and the main processing board. The preprocessing board includes preprocessing unit that includes a $5\times5$ mask processor and LUT, and can perform mask and threshold operations in real-time. To achieve high-resolution image input data($20485\timesn$), the preprocessing board has a linescan camera interface. The main processing board includes the image processor unit and main processor unit. The image processor unit is equipped with TI's TMS320C32 DSP and can perform image processing algorithms at high speed. The main processor unit controls the operation of total system. The proposed system is faster than the conventional CPU based system.

This paper proposes a new automatic detection method to inspect mura defects on display film surface using morphological image processing and labeling. This automatic detection method for mura defects on display films comprises 3 phases of preprocessing with morphological image processing, Gabor filtering, and labeling. Since distorted results could be obtained with the presence of non-uniform illumination, preprocessing step reduces illumination components using morphological image processing. In Gabor filtering, mura images are created with binary coded mura components using Gabor filters. Subsequently, labeling is a final phase of finding the mura defect area using the difference between large mura defects and values in the periphery. To evaluate the accuracy of the proposed detection method, detection rate was assessed by applying the method in 200 display film samples. As a result, the detection rate was high at about 95.5%. Moreover, the study was able to acquire reliable results using the Semu index for luminance mura in image quality inspection.

딥러닝의 발전으로 다양한 컴퓨터 비전 연구를 수행할 수 있게 됐다. 딥러닝은 컴퓨터 비전 연구 중 이미지 처리에서 높은 정확도와 성능을 보여줬다. 하지만 대부분의 이미지 처리 방식은 이미지의 시각 정보만을 이용해 이미지를 처리하는 경우가 대부분이다. 이미지-텍스트 쌍을 활용할 경우 이미지와 관련된 설명, 주석 등의 텍스트 데이터가 이미지 자체에서는 얻기 힘든 추가적인 맥락과 시각 정보를 제공할 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 이미지-텍스트 쌍을 활용하여 이미지와 텍스트를 분석하는 딥러닝 모델 제안한다. 제안 모델은 이미지 정보만을 사용한 딥러닝 모델보다 약 11% 향상된 분류 정확도 결과를 보였다.

영상처리시 처리 요구 되는 영상데이터의 크기에 비례하여 시스템의 부담은 더욱 더 증가하게 된다. 특히 클라이언트로부터 전송되는 영상 데이터를 실시간으로 서버에서 분석하여 처리하는 원격 영상처리 시스템에서는 처리해야 할 데이터가 집중되는 서버 측에는 데이터의 병목현상이 발생하게 되고, 데이터의 병목현상은 시스템의 성능을 저하시킬 수 있다. 이를 해결하기 위해 여러 대의 서버를 두어 처리하는 단순 분산처리를 사용하여 해결 할 수 있으나, 이는 그만큼의 비용 부담을 가져올 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 영상 데이터 처리의 병목현상을 해결하기 위한 분산 시스템에 객체 활성화 기술을 접목시킨 새로운 형태의 분산 영상 처리를 제안하고자 한다. 제안한 방법은 영상 전처리 작업을 최적화 된 시스템에 의해 처리하게 하여 더 높은 성능을 가져올 수 있다. 또한 최적화된 서버의 오류로 인해 정상적으로 동작하지 않을 경우를 대비하여, 네트워크 내의 유휴서버를 활용하여 서비스를 제공할 수 있다.

In this paper, an estimating damage on external surface of container using Capsize-Gaussian-Function (be called CGF) is presented. The estimation of the damage size can be get directly from two parameters of CGF, these are the depth and the flexure, also the direction of damage. The performance of the present method has been illustrated using an image of damage container, which had been taken from Hanjin Busan Port, after using image processing techniques to do preprocessing of the image, especially, the main used technique is Canny edge detecting that is widely used in computer vision to locate sharp intensity and to find object boundaries in the image, then correlation between the edge image from the preprocessing step and the CGF with three parameters (direction, depth, flexure), as a result, we get an image that perform damage information, and these parameters is an estimator directly to the damage.

본 논문은 무선 이동로봇의 영상에서 빠르고 정확하게 직선을 검출하는 방법에 대한 연구이다. 직선검출 처리시간 향상을 위하여 무선 이동로봇으로부터 전송 받은 영상의 특성을 분석하고 기존의 전처리 방법들 중 효율적인 전처리 방법을 선택하였다. 그리고 직선검출 정확도 향상을 위하여 하프변환의 결과를 저장하는 하프배열에서 지역 최대값을 선택하는 방법을 마스크를 설계하고 하프배열에 적용하여 개선하였다. 무선 이동로봇으로부터 획득한 실험영상을 가지고 실험을 실시하였고 제안방법은 처리시간과 직선검출에 있어 기존 방법들에 비해 좋은 성능을 보였다.

We have presented the tracing algorithm for center pixel of character image. Character image was read by scanner device. Performing the tracing process, it can be possible to detect feature points, such as branch point, stroke of 4 directions. So, the tracing process covers the thinning and feature point detection process for improving the processing time. Usage of suggested tracing algorithm instead of thinning that is the preprocessing of character recognition increases speed up to 5 times. The preprocessing chip has been designed by using single layer perceptron algorithm.

This paper focuses on automatic image registration between EO (Electro-Optical) and IR (InfraRed) satellite images with different spectral properties using block-based approach and simple preprocessing technique to enhance the performance of feature matching. If unpreprocessed EO and IR images from Kompsat-3A satellite were applied to local feature matching algorithms(Scale Invariant Feature Transform, Speed-Up Robust Feature, etc.), image registration algorithm generally failed because of few detected feature points or mismatched pairs despite of many detected feature points. In this paper, we proposed a new image registration method which improved the performance of feature matching with block-based registration process on 9-divided image and pre-processing technique based on adaptive histogram equalization. The proposed method showed better performance than without our proposed technique on visual inspection and I-RMSE. This study can be used for automatic image registration between various images acquired from different sensors.

This paper describes the implementation of a high speed image processing board. This image processing board is consist of a image acquisition part and a image processing part. The image acquistion part is digitizing the image input data from CIS and save it to the dual port RAM. By putting on the dual port memory between two parts, during acquistion of image, the image processing part can be effectively processing of large-volume image data. Most of all image preprocessing part are integrated in a large-scaled FPGA. We arwe using ADSP-2181 of the Analog Device Inc., LTD. for a image processing part, and using the available all memory of DSP for the large-volume image data. Especially, using of IDMA exchanges the data with the external microprocessor or the external PC, and can watch the result of image processing and acquired image. Finally, we show that an implemented image processing board used for the simulation of image retreval by the one of the typical application.

Imaging sonars such as side-scanning sonar or forward-looking sonar are becoming fundamental sensors in the underwater robotics field. However, using sonar images for underwater perception presents many challenges. Sonar images are usually low resolution with inherent speckled noise. To overcome the limited sensor information for underwater perception, we investigated preprocessing methods for sonar images and feature detection methods for a nonlinear scale space. In this paper, we focus on a comparative analysis of (1) preprocessing for sonar images and (2) the feature detection performance in relation to the scale space composition.
