  • Detecting edges is one of issues with essentialimprotance in the area of image analysis. An edge in an image is a boundary or contour at which a significant change occurs in image intensity. Edge detection has been studied in many addlications such as imagesegmentation, robot vision, and image compression. In this paper, we propose an automatic threshold selection scheme for edge detection and show its application to noise elimination. The scheme suggested here applied statistical properties of the noise estimated from a noisy image to threshold selection. Since a selected threshold value in the scheme depends on not the characgreistic of an orginal image but the statistical feature of added noise, we can remove ad-hoc manners used for selecting the threshold value as well as decide the value theoretically. Furthermore, that shceme can reduce the number of edge pixels either generated or lost by noise. an application of the scheme to noise elimination is shown here. Noise in the input image can be eliminated with considering the direction of each edge pixedl on the edge map obtained by applying the threshold selection scheme proposed in this paper. Achieving significantly improved results in terms of SNR as well as subjective quality, we can claim that the suggested method works well.

  • Next-generation (4G) systems are designed to support universal frequency reuse (UFR) to achieve best use of valuable spectra. However, it leads to undesirable interference level near cell borders. To control this, 4G systems adopt techniques, such as network multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) and inter-cell interference coordination (ICIC), to improve cell-edge throughput. Network MIMO aims at mitigating inter-cell interference towards cell-edge users (CEUs) through multi-cell cooperation, where each collaborative base station serves both cell-center users (CCUs) and CEUs, including other cells' CEUs, under a power constraint. The present ICIC strategies cannot be directly applied to network MIMO because they were designed in absence of multi-cell coordination. In the presence of network MIMO, this paper investigates antenna orientations in ICIC and the method of power management. Results show that a proper antenna orientation can improve the cell-edge capacity and meantime lower the interference to CCUs. Capacity inconsistency between CCUs and CEUs is detrimental to mobile communications. Simulation results show that the proposed power management for ICIC in network MIMO systems can achieve a uniform data rate regardless users' position.

  • In this paper, a new security algorithm to recognize the type of the vehicle with the vehicle image as a input image is suggested. The vehicle recognition security algorithm is composed of five core parts, such as the input image, background removal, edge areas extraction, pre-processing(binarization), and the vehicle recognition. Therefore, the final recognition rate of the security algorithm for vehicle type recognition can be affected by the function and efficiency of each step. After inputting image into a gray scale image and removing backgrounds, the binarization is performed by extracting only the edge region. After the pre-treatment process for making outlines clear, the type of vehicles is categorized into large vehicles, passenger cars and motorcycles through the ratio of height and width of the vehicle.

  • This paper proposes a method to recognize the noisiness of road images connected with the extraction of lane-related information in order to prevent the usage of erroneous information. The proposed method uses a fuzzy neural network(FNN) with the back-Propagation loaming algorithm. The U decides road images good or bad with respect to visibility of lane marks on road images. Most input parameters to the FNN are extracted from an edge distribution function(EDF), a function of edge histogram constructed by edge phase and norm. The shape of the EDF is deeply correlated to the visibility of lane marks of road image. Experimental results obtained by simulations with real images taken by various lighting and weather conditions show that the proposed method was quite successful, providing decision-making of noisiness with about 99%.

  • It is difficult to detect edge segments from a noisy image since the image have a noise in piratical applications which utilize some type of visual input capability. Hence, the proposed algorithm consists of the modality tests based on parallel statistical tests without a noise removal preprocessing or postprocessing, and the edge detection technique With one-Pixel edge segments in this paper. The algorithm is very reliable and effective in the case of those situations where the Picture is poor quality and low resolution. And it does'nt require thinning operation and thresholding in hand. Experimental comparision With the more conventional techniques when applied to typical low-quality Pictures confirms good capabilities of the algorithm.

  • In this paper, we present an interpolation schema for image resolution enhancement using fuzzy logic. Proposed algorithm can recover both low and high frequency information in image data. In general, interpolation techniques are based on linear operators which are essentially details in the original image. In our fuzzy approach, the operator itself balances the strength of its sharpening and noise suppressing components according to the properties of the input image data. The proposed interpolation algorithm is performed in three step. First logic reasoning is applied to coarsely interpret the high frequency information. These results are combined to obtain the optical output. Using our approach, resolution of the original image can be applied to various kind of image processing topics such as image enhancement, subpixel edge detection, and filtering.

  • In this paper an efficient morphologica algorithm for reducing gaussian and impulse noise in gray-scale image is presented. Based on the edge information the input image is partitioned into a flat region and an edge region, then different algorithms are selectively applied to each region. in case of impulse noise, MGR (morphologica grayscale reconstruction) algorithm with directional SE (structuring element) is applied to the flat region. For theedge region opening-closing (closing-opening) is used instead of dialation (erosion), so that the remaining noise around large objects can be removed. In case of gaussian noise, 5*5 OCCO(opening closing closing opening) and 3*3 DMF(directional morphological filter ) are used for the flat region and the edgeregion, respectively. In order to remove discontinuity at the edge boundary, the algorithm uses 3*3 OCCO around the edge region to reconstruct the final image. Experimetnal results have shown that the proposed algorithm achieves a high performance in terms of noise removal, detail preservation, and NMSE.

  • This paper proposes a segmentation algorithm using gray-level discontinuity and surface reflectance ratio of input images obtained under different illumination conditions. Each image is divided by a certain number of subregions based on the thresholds. The thresholds are determined using the histogram of fusion image which is obtained by ANDing the multiple input images. The subregions of images are projected on the eigenspace where their bases are the major eigenvectors of image matrix. Points in the eigenspace are classified into two clusters. Images associated with the bigger cluster are fused by revised ANDing to form a combined edge image. Missing edges are detected using surface reflectance ration and chain code. The proposed algorithm obtains more accurate edge information and allows to more efficiently recognize the environment under various illumination conditions.

  • This paper describes the algorithm that lowers the dimension, maintains the object recognition and significantly reduces the eigenspace configuration time by combining the edge orientation histogram and principle component analysis. By using the detected object region as a recognition input image, in this paper the object recognition method combined with principle component analysis and the multi-layer network which is one of the intelligent classification was suggested and its performance was evaluated. As a pre-processing algorithm of input object image, this method computes the eigenspace through principle component analysis and expresses the training images with it as a fundamental vector. Each image takes the set of weights for the fundamental vector as a feature vector and it reduces the dimension of image at the same time, and then the object recognition is performed by inputting the multi-layer neural network.
