Feature detection is very important to image processing area. In this paper we compare and analyze some characteristics of image processing algorithms for corner and blob feature detection. We also analyze the simulation results through image matching process. We show that how these algorithms work and how fast they execute. The simulation results are shown for helping us to select an algorithm or several algorithms extracting corner and blob feature.

In this paper, a low price ultrasound image processing system is developed using DSP and PC. Ultrasound for image is generated by the 32-channel transducer. Ultrasound image is captured by DSP instead of the private image grabber board. Display of image and image processing algorithms are performed by PC. The image processing algorithms based on GUI are realized by software. So users without knowledge of image processing can perform the image enhancement more easily.

With the help of advanced image acquisition and processing technology, the vision-based measurement methods have been broadly applied to implement the structural monitoring and condition identification of civil engineering structures. Many noncontact approaches enabled by different digital image processing algorithms are developed to overcome the problems in conventional structural dynamic displacement measurement. This paper presents three kinds of image processing algorithms for structural dynamic displacement measurement, i.e., the grayscale pattern matching (GPM) algorithm, the color pattern matching (CPM) algorithm, and the mean shift tracking (MST) algorithm. A vision-based system programmed with the three image processing algorithms is developed for multi-point structural dynamic displacement measurement. The dynamic displacement time histories of multiple vision points are simultaneously measured by the vision-based system and the magnetostrictive displacement sensor (MDS) during the laboratory shaking table tests of a three-story steel frame model. The comparative analysis results indicate that the developed vision-based system exhibits excellent performance in structural dynamic displacement measurement by use of the three different image processing algorithms. The field application experiments are also carried out on an arch bridge for the measurement of displacement influence lines during the loading tests to validate the effectiveness of the vision-based system.

Corrosion detection and analysis is a very important topic in reducing costs and preventing disasters. Recently, image processing techniques have been widely applied to corrosion identification and analysis. In this work, we briefly introduces traditional image processing techniques and machine learning algorithms applied to detect or analyze corrosion in various fields. Recently, machine learning, especially CNN-based algorithms, have been widely applied to corrosion detection. Additionally, research on applying machine learning to region segmentation is very actively underway. The corrosion is reddish and brown in color and has a very irregular shape, so a combination of techniques that consider color and texture, various mathematical techniques, and machine learning algorithms are used to detect and analyze corrosion. We present examples of the application of traditional image processing techniques and machine learning to corrosion detection and analysis.

본 논문에서는 SSE (Streaming SIMD Extensions) 명령어를 이용한 고속 영상처리 알고리즘을 제안한다. SSE 명령어를 지원하는 CPU는 128비트 크기의 XMM 레지스터를 보유하고 있으며 이에 속한 데이터는 SIMD(Single Instruction Multiple Data) 방식으로 한 번에 병렬로 처리 될 수 있다. 영상처리에서 폭넓게 활용되는 평균 필터, 소벨 수평방향 외곽선 검출, 이진 침식 알고리즘을 SIMD 방식으로 효과적으로 처리 할 수 있는 알고리즘을 제시하였고, 수행 시간을 측정하였다. 보다 객관적인 수행 속도 평가를 위해 현재 많이 사용되고 있는 영상처리 라이브러리와의 수행 속도를 비교하였다. 비교에 사용된 라이브러리는 SISD(Single Instruction Single Data)방식으로 동작하는 OpenCV 1.0, SIMD 방식을 지원하는 고속 영상처리 라이브러리인 IPP 5.2와 MIL 8.0에서 각각 수행 시간을 측정하고 제안하는 알고리즘의 처리 속도와 비교하였다. 실험결과 제안하는 알고리즘은 SISD방식의 영상처리 라이브러리에 비해 평균 8배의 성능향상을 보였으며, SIMD 방식의 고속 영상처리 라이브러리와 비교 하였을 때 평균 1.4배의 성능향상을 보였다. 따라서 제안하는 알고리즘은 고가의 영상처리 라이브러리와 추가적인 하드웨어의 구입 없이도 고속으로 동작해야 하는 실제 영상 처리 어플리케이션에 효과적으로 적용될 수 있음을 보였다.

Manually mapping fractures in construction stone mines is challenging, time-consuming, and hazardous. In this method, there is no physical access to all points. In contrast, digital image processing offers a safe, cost-effective, and fast alternative, with the capability to map all joints. In this study, two methods of detecting the trace of discontinuities using image processing in construction stone mines are presented. To achieve this, we employ two modified Hough transform algorithms and the degree of neighborhood technique. Initially, we introduced a method for selecting the best edge detector and smoothing algorithms. Subsequently, the Canny detector and median smoother were identified as the most efficient tools. To trace discontinuities using the mentioned methods, common preprocessing steps were initially applied to the image. Following this, each of the two algorithms followed a distinct approach. The Hough transform algorithm was first applied to the image, and the traces were represented through line drawings. Subsequently, the Hough transform results were refined using fuzzy clustering and reduced clustering algorithms, along with a novel algorithm known as the farthest points' algorithm. Additionally, we developed another algorithm, the degree of neighborhood, tailored for detecting discontinuity traces in construction stones. After completing the common preprocessing steps, the thinning operation was performed on the target image, and the degree of neighborhood for lineament pixels was determined. Subsequently, short lines were removed, and the discontinuities were determined based on the degree of neighborhood. In the final step, we connected lines that were previously separated using the method to be described. The comparison of results demonstrates that image processing is a suitable tool for identifying rock mass discontinuity traces. Finally, a comparison of two images from different construction stone mines presented at the end of this study reveals that in images with fewer traces of discontinuities and a softer texture, both algorithms effectively detect the discontinuity traces.

본 논문에서는 다양한 영상 전처리 알고리즘들을 적용할 수 있고, 영상 인식과 같이 ISP 응용 프로그램을 병렬로 처리 가능한 SIMT(Single Instruction Multiple Threads) 기반 Image Signal Processor를 제안하였다. 기존의 ISP는 입력 영상의 품질 개선을 위하여 영상 개선 알고리즘이 하드웨어로 설계되어 처리 속도는 빠르지만 다양한 영상 처리 알고리즘에 따라 성능 최적화에 어려움이 있었다. 제안한 ISP는 명령어를 기반으로 한 프로세서로서 다양한 영상 처리 알고리즘을 수행하고 SIMT 구조를 적용하여 알고리즘을 병렬로 수행해 성능을 개선하였다. 제안하는 ISP를 검증하기 위해 Xilinx Virtex-7을 탑재한 VC707 Board를 사용하였으며 cell multicore processor와 비교했을 경우 수행시간이 약 71%, ARM Cortex-A9과 ARM Cortex-A15와 비교하였을 경우 각각 63%, 33% 성능을 개선하였다.

Noise generated during image acquisition and transmission can negatively impact the results of image processing applications, and noise removal is typically a part of image preprocessing. Denoising techniques combined with nonlocal techniques have received significant attention in recent years, owing to the development of sophisticated hardware and image processing algorithms, much attention has been paid to; however, this approach is relatively poor for edge preservation of fine image details. To address this limitation, the current study combined a steering kernel technique with adaptive masks that can adjust the size according to the noise intensity of an image. The algorithm sets the steering weight based on a similarity comparison, allowing it to respond to edge components more effectively. The proposed algorithm was compared with existing denoising algorithms using quantitative evaluation and enlarged images. The proposed algorithm exhibited good general denoising performance and better performance in edge area processing than existing non-local techniques.

A study to develop generalized and systematically designed satellite image processing software system on mainframe computer was successfully carried out. Commercially available softwares such as LARSYS were analyzed and modified, and well known satellite data processing algorithms were implemented into comprehensive software. New algorithms were also presented and developed. The contents of developed softwere system may be divided into 8 major sections: menu and user interface, data file management, preprocessing, enhancement in monochrome image, multi-dimension image analysis, scene classification, image display/hardcopy, image handle utility software. Some additional software such as GIS and DBMS will make this software more comprehensive and generalized one for the satellite data processing.
