This paper presents pedestrian recognition to improve performance for vehicle safety system or surveillance system. Pedestrian detection method using HOG (Histograms of Oriented Gradients) has showed 90% recognition rate. But if someone takes a picture in the rain, the image may be distorted by rain streaks and recognition rate goes down by 62%. To solve this problem, we applied image decomposition method using MCA (Morphological Component Analysis). In this case, rain removal method improves recognition rate from 62% to 70%. However, it is difficult to apply conventional image decomposition method using MCA on vehicle safety system or surveillance system as conventional method is too slow for real-time system. To alleviate this issue, we propose a rain removal method by using low-pass filter and DCT (Discrete Cosine Transform). The DCT helps separate the image into rain components. The image is removed rain components by Butterworth filtering. Experimental results show that our method achieved 90% of recognition rate. In addition, the proposed method had accelerated processing time to 17.8ms which is acceptable for real-time system.

본 논문에서는 실영상(컴퓨터로 생성한 영상 또는 실제 촬영한 영상)을 직접 손으로 스케치한 것과 같이 터치감이 나는 영상으로 변환하는 기법을 제안한다. 즉 실영상을 공간 필터 등의 영상 처리 기법을 통하여 사람이 손으로 직접 그린 것과 같이 농담의 차이를 느낄 수 있는 인간 친화적인 영상으로 변환한다. 먼저 소벨 마스크를 사용하여 윤곽선을 검출하고, 검출된 부분 중 불필요한 선들을 제거하여 첫 번째 영상을 구한다. 그리고 이를 반전시켜, 유사한 방법으로 두 번째 영상을 구하여 두 영상 간의 차를 구하고 여기에 해칭 효과를 적용하여 스케치 효과를 표현한다. 이와 같이 일련의 처리로 기존의 연필 해칭 효과 방식과 스케치 효과 방식에 비해 선에 농담 차이를 주어 수용성 펜을 이용하여 그린 느낌을 주었다. 또한, 입력 영상의 음영 부분에 서로 다른 해칭 효과를 적용하여 스케치의 느낌을 보다 잘 표현할 수 있었다.

The fiber oriented condition inside fiber reinforced composite material is a basic factor of mechanical properties of composite materials. It is very important to meausure the fiber orientation angle for the determination of molding conditions, mechanical characteristics, and the design of composite materials. In the work, the fiber orientation distribution of simulation figure plotted by PC is measured using image processing in order to examine the accuracy of intersection counting method. The fiber orientation function measured by intersection counting method using image processing is compared with the calculated fiber orientation function. The results show that the measured value of fiber orientation function using intersection counting method is lower than the calculated value, because the number of intersection between the scanning line and the fiber with smaller fiber aspect ratio is counted less than with larger fiber aspect ratio.

영상처리에서 영상확대기법은 기본적인 처리기법으로 일반적으로 사용되는 기법은 보간법(최근접이웃, 양선형, 3차회선 보간법)이다. 그러나 이러한 보간법은 영상확대시 블록화 현상이나 몽롱화현상과 같은 영상의 손실이 발생하거나 계산량이 많아 처리시간이 길게 나타났다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 입력영상의 부대역정보인 에지정보를 이용하여 기존의 확대기법을 개선하고자 한다. 에지정보를 추출하기 위하여 이웃한 화소들을 이용하지 않고 전체영상을 이용하여 블록화현상이 발생되지 않았다. 그리고 에지가 결여되어 나타나는 몽롱화현상을 제거하기 위하여 검출된 에지정보를 강조시켰다. 실험 결과, 제안된 기법은 기존의 확대기법보다 처리시간을 줄일 수 있었으며, PSNR과 상관계수에서도 성능이 뛰어나 블록화나 몽롱화현상과 같은 문제점을 해결하였다.

Vibration measurement using image processing is a fully non-contact measurement method and has many application fields. The resolution of vibration data measured by image processing depends on the camera performance and is lower than that measured by accelerometers. This work discusses the method to increase resolution of vibration signal measured by image processing based on the image mosaic technique with a high-power lens. The working principle of resolution enhancement was explained theoretically and verified by several experiments. It was shown that the proposed method can measure vibrations of relatively large scale structures with increased resolutions.

Automatic segmentation of foreground text from the background in degraded document images is very much essential for the smooth reading of the document content and recognition tasks by machine. In this paper, we present a novel approach to the binarization of degraded document images. The proposed method uses a new local contrast feature extracted based on the stroke width of text. First, a pre-processing method is carried out for noise removal. Text boundary detection is then performed on the image constructed from the contrast feature. Then local estimation follows to extract text from the background. Finally, a refinement procedure is applied to the binarized image as a post-processing step to improve the quality of the final results. Experiments and comparisons of extracting text from degraded handwriting and machine-printed document image against some well-known binarization algorithms demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method.

In this paper, we present a new image up-sampling method which registers low resolution images to the high resolution grid when Bayesian super-resolution image processing is performed. The proposed up-sampling method interpolates high-resolution pixels using high-frequency data lying in all the low resolution images, instead of up-sampling each low resolution image separately. The interpolation is based on B-spline non-uniform re-sampling, adjusted for the super-resolution image processing. The experimental results demonstrate the effects when different up-sampling methods generally used such as zero-padding or bilinear interpolation are applied to the super-resolution image reconstruction. Then, we show that the proposed hybird up-sampling method generates high-resolution images more accurately than conventional methods with quantitative and qualitative assess measures.

Drop size is one of the most important parameters which are control the performance of the engine using liquid fuel/oxidizer and drop formation is mainly controlled by aerodynamic force caused by ambient gas. Because of this, empirical data and correlation acquired under standard ambient condition are not valid. So experiments under high ambient pressure condition to measure the drop size using image processing method And find the empirical correlation between SMD and chamber pressure(density), injection velocity.

Text-based image retrieval is not only cumbersome as it requires the manual input of keywords by the user, but is also limited in the semantic approach of keywords. However, content-based image retrieval enables visual processing by a computer to solve the problems of text retrieval more fundamentally. Vision applications such as extraction and mapping of image characteristics, require the processing of a large amount of data in a mobile environment, rendering efficient power consumption difficult. Hence, an effective image retrieval method on mobile platforms is proposed herein. To provide the visual meaning of keywords to be inserted into images, the efficiency of image retrieval is improved by extracting keywords of exchangeable image file format metadata from images retrieved through a content-based similar image retrieval method and then adding automatic keywords to images captured on mobile devices. Additionally, users can manually add or modify keywords to the image metadata.
