This study proposed an unsupervised image classification through the dendrogram of agglomerative clustering as a higher stage of image segmentation in image processing. The proposed algorithm is a hierarchical clustering which includes searching a set of MCSNP (Mutual Closest Spectral Neighbor Pairs) based on the data structures of RAG(Regional Adjacency Graph) defined on spectral space and Min-Heap. It also employes a multi-window system in spectral space to define the spectral adjacency. RAG is updated for the change due to merging using RNV (Regional Neighbor Vector). The proposed algorithm provides a dendrogram which is a graphical representation of data. The hierarchical relationship in clustering can be easily interpreted in the dendrogram. In this study, the proposed algorithm has been extensively evaluated using simulated images and applied to very large QuickBird imagery acquired over an area of Korean Peninsula. The results have shown it potentiality for the application of remotely-sensed imagery.

An experimental study was performed for the combustion-field visualization of the burner which burns the liquid hydrocarbon fuel atomized by an ultrasonic oscillator. Configurations of the flame and combustion-field were caught by both high-speed camera and thermo-graphic camera, and those images were analyzed in detail through a post-processing. As a result, the combustion-field grew and reaction-temperature rose due to the strengthening of combustion reaction with the increasing flow-rate of carrier-gas. In addition, a phenomenon of flame flickering was discussed through the comparative analysis of the variational behaviors between the visible flame and IR (Infrared) flame-field.

An experimental study was performed for the combustion-field visualization of the burner which burns the liquid hydrocarbon fuel atomized by an ultrasonic oscillator. Configurations of the flame and temperature gradient were caught by both high-speed camera and thermo-graphic camera, and those images were analyzed in detail through a post-processing. In addition, the fuel consumption was measured using the balance during the combustion reaction. As a result, the consumption of atomized fuel increased with the increasing flow-rate of carrier-gas, but any correlation between the air/fuel ratio and carrier-gas flow-rate was not found at the low flow-rate condition. Also, the combustion-field grew and reaction-temperature rose due to the strengthening of combustion reaction with the increasing flow-rate of carrier-gas and power consumption of ultrasonic oscillator.

TIn this paper, we find the face in color images and the ability to track the face was implemented. Face tracking is the work to find face regions in the image using the functions of the computer system and this function is a necessary for the robot. But such as extracting skin color in the image face tracking can not be performed. Because face in image varies according to the condition such as light conditions, facial expressions condition. In this paper, we use the skin color pixel extraction function added lighting compensation function and the entire processing system was implemented, include performing finding the features of eyes, nose, mouth are confirmed as face. Lighting compensation function is a adjusted sine function and although the result is not suitable for human vision, the function showed about 4% improvement. Face features are detected by amplifying, reducing the value and make a comparison between the represented image. The eye and nose position, lips are detected. Face tracking efficiency was good.

Biometric technology using finger veins is receiving a lot of attention due to its high security, convenience and accuracy. And the recent development of deep learning technology has improved the processing speed and accuracy for authentication. However, the training data is a subset of real data not in a certain order or method and the results are not constant. so the amount of data and the complexity of the artificial neural network must be considered. In this paper, the deep learning model of Inception-Resnet-v2 was used to improve the high accuracy of the finger vein recognizer and the performance of the authentication system, We compared and analyzed the performance of the deep learning model of DenseNet-201. The simulations used data from MMCBNU_6000 of Jeonbuk National University and finger vein images taken directly. There is no preprocessing for the image in the finger vein authentication system, and the results are checked through EER.

In this paper, an enhanced 2-stage vehicle license plate detection scheme using object segmentation is proposed to detect accurately the rotated license plates due to the inclined photographing angles in real-road situations. With the previous 3-stage vehicle license plate detection pipeline model, the detection accuracy is likely decreased as the license plates are declined. To resolve this problem, we propose an enhanced 2-stage model by replacing the frontal two processing stages which are for detecting vehicle area and vehicle license plate respectively in only rectangular shapes in the previous 3-stage model with one step to detect vehicle license plate in arbitrarily shapes using object segmentation. According to the comparison results in terms of the detection accuracy of the proposed 2-stage scheme and the previous 3-stage pipeline model against the rotated license plates, the accuracy of the proposed 2-stage scheme is improved by up to about 20% even though the detection process is simplified.

Researches using UAVs are being actively conducted in the field of quickly constructing 3D spatial information in small areas. In this study, without using ground control points, a stereo camera was mounted on a UAV to collect images and quickly construct three-dimensional positions through image matching, bundle adjustment, and the determination of a scale factor. Through the experiment, when bundle adjustment was performed using stereo constraints, the root mean square error was 1.475m, and when absolute orientation was performed in consideration of a scale, it was found to be 0.029m. Through this, it was found that when using the data processing method of a UAV equipped with a stereo camera proposed in this study, high-accuracy 3D spatial information can be constructed without using ground control points.

During supersonic flight of vehicles, the thermal behavior of structures under high-temperature environment is important for thermal-structural design. In this study, full-field thermal deformation and stress concentration of the notched structure was performed using global-local multi-digital image correlation (multi-DIC) systems. This techniques were developed and implemented by multi-DIC systems consists of 2D DIC system and 3D DIC system. The specimen was heated in a heating chamber to achieve the thermal expansion behavior. Then the images of structure's deformation and stress concentration at various temperature were recorded and analyzed by multi-DIC system. Afterward, full-field thermal deformation of the notched structure was determined with DIC technique and stress concentration at the notched structure was calculated by further processing. Finite element analysis of the notched structure is performed in ABAQUS^TM and the results of the experiments show good agreement with those obtained from simulation. The results achieved in this study show the efficiency of the muilti-DIC method in thermal deformation as well as stress concentration of notched structure.

In the present day context of changing information needs of the farmers and diversified production systems there is an urgent need to look for the effective extension support system for the small and marginal farmers in the developing countries like India. The rapid developments in the collection and analysis of field data by using the spatial technologies like GPS&GIS were made available for the extension functionaries and clientele for the diversified information needs. This article describes the GIS and GPS based decision support system in precision agriculture for the resource poor farmers. Precision farming techniques are employed to increase yield, reduce production costs, and minimize negative impacts to the environment. The parameters those can affect the crop yields, anomalous factors and variations in management practices can be evaluated through this GPS and GIS based applications. The spatial visualisation capabilities of GIS technology interfaced with a relational database provide an effective method for analysing and displaying the impacts of Extension education and outreach projects for small and marginal farmers in precision agriculture. This approach mainly benefits from the emergence and convergence of several technologies, including the Global Positioning System (GPS), geographic information system (GIS), miniaturised computer components, automatic control, in-field and remote sensing, mobile computing, advanced information processing, and telecommunications. The PPP convergence of person (farmer), project (the operational field) and pixel (the digital images related to the field and the crop grown in the field) will better be addressed by this decision support model. So the convergence and emergence of such information will further pave the way for categorisation and grouping of the production systems for the better extension delivery. In a big country like India where the farmers and holdings are many in number and diversified categorically such grouping is inevitable and also economical. With this premise an attempt has been made to develop a precision farming model suitable for the developing countries like India.
