This paper proposes a new image enhancement method for an infrared thermal image. The proposed method uses both Laplacian and Prewitt edge detectors. Without a visible light, it uses an infrared image for the edge detection. The method subtracts contour images from the infrared thermal image. It results black contours of objects in the infrared thermal image. That makes the objects in the infrared thermal image distinguished clearly. The proposed method is implemented using C language in an embedded Linux system for a high-speed real-time image processing. Experiments were conducted by using various infrared thermal images. The results show that the proposed method is successful for image enhancement of an infrared thermal image.

In this paper, we propose an edge detection algorithm for auto focus of infrared camera. We designed and implemented the edge detection of infrared image by using a spatial filter on FPGA. The infrared camera should be designed to minimize the image processing time and usage of hardware resource because these days surveillance systems should have the fast response and be low size, weight and power. we applied the $3{\times}3$ mask filter which has an advantage of minimizing the usage of memory and the propagation delay to process filtering. When we applied Laplacian filter to extract contour data from an image, not only edge components but also noise components of the image were extracted by the filter. These noise components make it difficult to determine the focus state. Also a bad pixel of infrared detector causes a problem in detecting the edge components. So we propose an adaptive edge detection filter that is a method to extract only edge components except noise components of an image by analyzing a variance of pixel data in $3{\times}3$ memory area. And we can detect the bad pixel and replace it with neighboring normal pixel value when we store a pixel in $3{\times}3$ memory area for filtering calculation. The experimental result proves that the proposed method is effective to implement the edge detection for auto focus in infrared camera.

In the industrial field, real-time monitoring system like a fault early detection is very important. For this, the infrared thermography technique as a new diagnosis method is proposed. This study is focused on the damage detection and temperature characteristic analysis of ball bearing using the non-destructive infrared thermography method. In this paper, thermal image and temperature data were measured by a Cedip Silver 450 M infrared camera. Based on the results, the temperature characteristics under the conditions of normal, loss lubrication, damage, dynamic loading, and damage under loading were analyzed. It was confirmed that the infrared technique is very useful for the detection of the bearing damage.

Visual saliency detection is an essential task because it is an important part of various vision-based applications. There are many techniques for saliency detection in color images. However, the number of methods for saliency detection in infrared images is limited. In this paper, we introduce a simple approach for saliency detection in infrared images based on the thresholding technique. The input image is thresholded into several Boolean maps, and an initial saliency map is calculated as a weighted sum of the created Boolean maps. The initial map is further refined by using thresholding, morphology operation, and a Gaussian filter to produce the final, high-quality saliency map. The experiment showed that the proposed method has high performance when applied to real-life data.

Effect and robust detection of targets in infrared images has crucial meaning for many applications, such as infrared guidance, early warning, and video surveillance. However, it is not an easy task due to the special characteristics of the infrared images, in which the background clutters are severe and the targets are weak. The recent literature demonstrates that sparse representation can help handle the detection problem, however, the detection performance should be improved. To this end, in this text, a hybrid method based on local sparse representation and contrast is proposed, which can effectively and robustly detect the infrared targets. First, a residual image is calculated based on local sparse representation for the original image, in which the target can be effectively highlighted. Then, a local contrast based method is adopted to compute the target prediction image, in which the background clutters can be highly suppressed. Subsequently, the residual image and the target prediction image are combined together adaptively so as to accurately and robustly locate the targets. Based on a set of comprehensive experiments, our algorithm has demonstrated better performance than other existing alternatives.

동적하중에서의 베어링 결함에 대한 실시간 진단기술은 상대적으로 저조하다. 따라서 볼베어링의 이상상태 현상으로 인한 온도 상승 및 진동 증가 등을 사전에 검출하는 기술이 필요하며, 회전체에 대한 운전상태 감시 및 손상 진단을 통해 발전설비의 원활한 운전을 기할 수 있는 검출 기술이 필요하다. 적외선 열화상 실험과 더불어 ANSYS를 이용한 유한요소해석으로부터 실험과 동일한 베어링을 구조 설계 및 해석하여 데이터를 분석함으로써 열화상 기술로 얻은 데이터의 신뢰성을 확보하였다.

Crimes related to illegal cameras are steadily increasing and causing social problems. Owing to the development of camera technology, the miniaturization and high performance of illegal cameras have caused anxiety among many people. This study is for detecting hidden cameras effectively such that they could not be easily detected by human eyes. An image sensor-based module with 940 nm wavelength infrared detection technology was developed, and an image processing algorithm was developed to selectively detect illegal cameras. Based on the Android smartphone environment, image processing technology was applied to an image acquired from an infrared camera, and a detection sensor module that is less sensitive to ambient brightness noise was studied. Experiments and optimization studies were conducted according to the Gaussian blur size, adaptive threshold size, and detection distance. The performance of the infrared image-based illegal camera detection sensor module was excellent. This is expected to contribute to the prevention of crimes related to illegal cameras.

본 논문에서는 적외선 영상에서 영역확장 및 온라인 분산을 이용한 화염검출 방법을 제안한다. 본 논문에서 제안된 화염검출 방법은 화염 후보영역을 효과적으로 검출하기 위하여, 먼저 적외선 자기 영상에 높은 임계값을 적용하여 초기 화염영역의 후보영역을 분할하고, 영역확장 방법을 이용하여 유사한 높은 값을 갖는 이웃영역으로 확장시켜 최종후보영역을 검출한다. 분할된 후보영역은 나대지 와 건물같은 비 화염 영역을 포함할 수 있기 때문에, 화염 영역을 검출하기 위하여 분할영역을 시간에 따라 추적하면서, 각 후보영역의 밝기 값의 변화 정도를 추적영역의 분산을 온라인 갱신에 의해 효과적으로 계산하였다. 적외선 영상에서의 실험을 통하여 영영 확장 방법과 온라인 분산에 의한 제안방법이 적외선 영상에서 효율적으로 화염을 검출함을 보였다.
