이미지의 픽셀 기반 처리는 한 픽셀의 값을 변환하고 다른 픽셀의 값에 관계없이 현재 픽셀의 값에 따라 변환하는 프로세스를 의미한다. 픽셀 기반 처리는 이미지 변환, 이미지 향상 및 이미지 합성과 같은 많은 분야에서 가장 기본적인 작업이다. 본 논문에서는 히스토그램 연산과 같은 영상의 전처리 과정이 경계 검출 결과에 미치는 상호 연관성에 대해 알아보고 픽셀 기반의 처리를 이용하여 효과적으로 영상의 윤곽을 찾는 방법을 제안한다.

An algorithm of 3-D particle image velocimetry(3D-PIV) was developed for the measurement of 3-D velocity field of complex flows. The measurement system consists of two or three CCD camera and one RGB image grabber. In this study, stereo photogrammetty was applied for the 3-D matching of tracer particles. Epipolar line was used to decect the stereo pair. 3-D CFD data was used to estimate algorithm. 3-D position data of the first frame and the second frame was used to find velocity vector. Continuity equation was applied to extract error vector. The algorithm result involved error vecotor of about 0.13 %. In Pentium III 450MHz processor, the calculation time of cross-correlation for 1500 particles needed about 1 minute.

A real-time inspection system is developed using line scan cameras. Several improved algorithms are proposed for real-time detection of defects in this automated inspection system. The major improved algorithms include the preprocessing, the threshold decision, and the clustering algorithms. The preprocessing algorithms are for exact binarization and the threshold decision algorithm is for fast detection of defects in 1-D binary images. The clustering algorithm is also developed for fast classifying of the defects. The system is applied to PCBs(Printed Circuit Boards) inspection. The typical defects in PCBs are pits, dent, wrinkle, scratch, and black spots. The results show that most defects are detected and classified successfully.

Optical Character Recognition (OCR) that has been a main research topic of computer vision and artificial intelligence now extend its applications to detection of text area from video or image contents taken by camera devices and retrieval of text information from the area. This paper aims to implement a binarization algorithm that removes user intervention and provides robust performance to outdoor lights by using TopHat algorithm and channel transformation technique. In this study, we particularly concentrate on text information of outdoor signboards and validate our proposed technique using those data.

The requirements of the accuracy, the high speed and the stability are very important factors in the defect-detection sytem for the texture. In this paper, we describe a novel scheme of the defect detection using a statistical behavior of defect patterns. Some prior knowledge as to the characteristics of flaws is that the defects are consistently distributed in the space and the noise are randomly generated. An empirical knowledge is adapted for the binarization and the determination process of defects in textured image. Since the process of the determination exclude the segmentations or delineation steps, we are able to meet the speed requirements. We show the validity of the scheme through the simulation of textured images.

본 연구는 영상에서 이진영상을 얻기위하여 최적의 임계값 결정을 영상에 나타난 물체의 형상정보를 근거로한 비트평면 패턴을 이용한 최적 임계화 방법을 제안한다. 제안된 방법은 원영상의 윤곽정보를 가장 많이 포함하는 최상위 비트평면을 사용하여 영상을 중복되지 않는 두 영역으로 구분한 뒤, 두영역의 화소 밝기값의 평균값을 각 각 구하고 두 평균값 사이에서 임계값을 설정하는 전역 임계화 알고리즘이다. 제안된 방법의 타당성을 검토하기 위하여 표준영상을 가지고 N 개의 비트평면으로 분할 한 후, 비트평면에서 전체영상을 중복되지 않는 물체의 영역과 배경영역으로 나누어 영상의 밝기를 비교한후, 두 영역의 영상 밝기의 중간 값을 추하여 임계값으로 결정한 결과 전체영상의 밝기값 분포만을 분석한 결과 보다 원영상의 윤곽을 더 충실히 얻을 수 있었다.

Text line segmentation is a preprocessing step in OCR, which can significantly influence the accuracy of document analysis applications. This paper proposes a novel methodology for the text line segmentation of handwritten documents. First, the average width of the connected components is used to form a 1-D Gaussian kernel and a smoothing operation is then applied to the input binary image. The adaptive binarization of the smoothed image forms the final text lines. In this work, the segmentation method involves two stages: firstly, the large connected components are labelled as a unique text line using text line area mapping. Secondly, the final refinement of the segmentation is performed using the Euclidean distance between the text line and small connected components. The group of uniquely labelled text candidates achieves promising segmentation results. The proposed approach works well on Korean and English language handwritten documents captured using a camera.

Recently, the personal identification technologies using vein pattern of back of the hand, palm, and finger have been developed actively because it has the advantage that the vein blood vessel in the body is impossible to damage, make a replication and forge. However, it is difficult to extract clearly the vein region from captured vein images through common image prcessing based region segmentation method, because of the light scattering and non-uniform internal tissue by skin layer and inside layer skeleton, etc. Especially, it takes a long time for processing time and makes a discontinuity of blood vessel just in a image because it has non-uniform illumination due to use a locally different adaptive threshold for the binarization of acquired finger-vein image. To solve this problem, we propose illumination normalization based fast method for extracting the finger-vein region. The proposed method has advantages compared to the previous methods as follows. Firstly, for remove a non-uniform illumination of the captured vein image, we obtain a illumination component of the captured vein image by using a low-pass filter. Secondly, by extracting the finger-vein path using one time binarization of a single threshold selection, we were able to reduce the processing time. Through experimental results, we confirmed that the accuracy of extracting the finger-vein region was increased and the processing time was shortened than prior methods.

The small and medium sprayer has developed to spray well fruit trees and roadside trees with pesticides for pests control within 60 meters. This study was carried out to analyze and evaluate its performance using image processing. While it sprayed with pesticides on the area of 20m in width and 60m in length, it was experimented 5 places by 5m from 0 to 25m width and 6 places by 10m from 10 to 60m length. The experimental image data of each sheet on places were averaged after binarization process. According to the image data, it was sprayed on all working area. However, when sprayer moved 0.3m/s velocity, the place at 15m of width and 30m of length was sprayed more than any other sprayed area, but the place at 15m of width and 60m of length was sprayed less.

In this paper, a system that can classify the objects in the image according to their sizes using the reference points is proposed. The object is studied with samples. The proposed system recognizes and classifies objects by the size in images acquired using a mobile phone camera. Conventional object recognition systems classify objects using only object size. As the size of the object varies depending on the distance, such systems have the disadvantage that an error may occurs if the image is not acquired with a certain distance. In order to overcome the limitation of the conventional object recognition system, the object recognition system proposed in this paper can classify the object regardless of the distance with comparing the size of the reference point by placing it at the upper left corner of the image.
