In developing an automated surface inspect algorithm, we have designed a hierarchical classifier using neural network. The defects which exist on the surface of cold mill strip have a scattering or singular distribution. We have considered three major problems, that is preprocessing, feature extraction and defect classification. In preprocessing, Top-hit transform, adaptive thresholding, thinning and noise rejection are used Especially, Top-hit transform using local minimax operation diminishes the effect of bad lighting. In feature extraction, geometric, moment, co-occurrence matrix, and histogram ratio features are calculated. The histogram ratio feature is taken from the gray-level image. For defect classification, we suggest a hierarchical structure of which nodes are multilayer neural network classifiers. The proposed algorithm reduced error rate by comparing to one-stage structure.

An image feature extraction method for the low contrast fluoresceln angiogram in dlabetes was studied. To obtain effective image segmentation, an adaptive local difference image is generated and relaxation process are applied to this difference Image. By the use of distance transformed data with segmented image, shape and location of feature regions were obtained. It was shown that the location and shape descriptions of Impaired blood vessel networks and retinal regions are can he utilized for the diagnosis of diabetes and other disease.

Various applications, such as mesh composition and model repair, ask for a natural stitching for polygonal surfaces. Unlike the existing algorithms, we make full use of the information from the two feature lines to be stitched up, and present an accurate stitching method for polygonal surfaces, which minimizes the error between the feature lines. Given two directional polylines as the feature lines on polygonal surfaces, we modify the general placement method for points matching and arrive at a closed-form solution for optimal rotation and translation between the polylines. Following calculating out the stitching line, a local surface optimization method is designed and employed for postprocess in order to gain a natural blending of the stitching region.

In this paper, we propose a method to estimate camera motion parameter based on invariant point features. Typically, feature information of image has drawbacks, it is variable to camera viewpoint, and therefore information quantity increases after time. The LM(Levenberg-Marquardt) method using nonlinear minimum square evaluation for camera extrinsic parameter estimation also has a weak point, which has different iteration number for approaching the minimal point according to the initial values and convergence time increases if the process run into a local minimum. In order to complement these shortfalls, we, first propose constructing feature models using invariant vector of geometry. Secondly, we propose a two-stage calculation method to improve accuracy and convergence by using homography and LM method. In the experiment, we compare and analyze the proposed method with existing method to demonstrate the superiority of the proposed algorithms.

The Cellular Nonlinear Networks structure for Distance Transform (DT) and the robust optical flow detection algorithm based on the DT are proposed. The proposed algorithm is for detecting the optical flows on the trajectories only of the feature points. The translation lengths and the directions of feature movements are detected on the trajectories of feature points on which Distance Transform Field is developed. The robustness caused from the use of the Distance Transform and the easiness of hardware implementation with local analog circuits are the properties of the proposed structure, To verify the performance of the proposed structure and the algorithm, simulation has been done about zooming image.

In this paper, we propose a Self Organizing Feature Map (SOFM) Type Neural Computation Algorithm for the Travelling Salesman Problem(TSP). The actual best solution to the TSP problem is computatinally very hard. The reason is that it has many local minim points. Until now, in neural computation field, Hopield-Tank type algorithm is widely used for the TSP. SOFM and Elastic Net algorithm are other attempts for the TSP. In order to apply SOFM type neural computation algorithms to the TSP, the object function forms a euclidean norm between two vectors. We propose a Largrangian for the above request, and induce a learning equation. Experimental results represent that feasible solutions would be taken with the proposed algorithm.

This paper deals with the detection, feature extraction and classification of surface defects in cold rolled strips. Inspection systems are one of the most important fields in factory automation. Defects such as slipmark and dullmark can be effectively detected with a Gaussian matched filter because their shapes are similar to Gaussian. It is justified that the proposed WF(Wavelet Frame) method could be regarded as multiscale Gaussian matched filter which can be applied to the inspection of cold rolled strip. After a wavelet frame transform, the entropies and moments are computed for each subband which pass through both local low pass filter and nonlinear operator. With these features as input, a MLP(Multi Layer Perceptron) is used as a classifier. The proposed inspection method was applied to the real images with defects, and hence showed good performance. The role of each extracted feature is analyzed by KLT(Karhunen-Loeve Transform).

컴퓨터 비전을 이용한 다양한 응용 분야에 있어서, 특징점을 이용한 응용 분야가 많이 이루어지고 있다. 그 중에 Global feature는 표현의 위험성과 부정확성으로 인해서 많이 사용되고 있지 않으며, Local feature를 이용한 연구가 주로 이루고 있다. 그 중에 SURF(Speeded-Up Robust Features) 알고리즘은 다수의 영상에서 같은 물리적 위치에 있는 동일한 특징점을 찾아서 매칭하는 방법으로 널리 알려진 특징점 매칭 알고리즘이다. 하지만 SURF 알고리즘을 이용하여 특징점을 매칭하여 정합 쌍을 구하였을 때 매칭되는 특징점들의 정확도가 떨어지는 단점이 있다. 본 논문에서는 특징점 매칭 알고리즘인 SURF를 사용하여 대응되는 특징점들을 들로네 삼각형의 기하학적 특징을 이용하여 정확도가 높은 특징점을 분류하여 SURF 알고리즘의 매칭되는 대응점들의 정확도를 높이는 방법을 제안한다.

본 논문에서는 의료영상의 특성을 반영하여 영상의 그래디언트 방향 값을 특징으로 하는 Oriented Center Symmetric Local Binary Patterns (OCS-LBP) 특징을 개발하고 추출된 특징 값에 대해 차원을 줄이고 의미 있는 특징 단위로 재 생성하기 위해 Bag-of-Feature (BoF)를 적용하였다. 검색을 위해서는 기존의 영상 검색 방법과는 다르게, 학습 영상을 이용하여 랜덤 포리스트 (Random Forest)를 사전에 학습시켜 데이터베이스 영상을 N 개의 클래스로 자동 분류 시키고, 질의로 입력된 영상을 같은 방법으로 랜덤 포리스트에 적용하여 상위 확률 값을 갖는 2 개의 클래스에서만 K-nearest neighbor 방법으로 유사 영상을 검색결과로 제시하는 새로운 영상검색 방법을 제시하였다. 실험결과에서 본 논문의 우수성을 증명하기 위해 일반적인 유사성 측정 방법과 랜덤 포리스트를 이용한 방법의 검색 성능 및 시간을 비교하였고, 검색 성능과 시간 면에서 상대적으로 매우 우수한 성능을 보여줌을 증명하였다.

Metal additive manufacturing (AM), also known as metal three-dimensional (3D) printing, produces 3D metal products by repeatedly adding and solidifying metal materials layer by layer. During the metal AM process, products experience repeated local melting and cooling using a laser or electron beam, resulting in product defects, such as warpage, cracks, and internal pores. Such defects adversely affect the final product. This paper proposes the in situ monitoring-based warpage prediction of metal AM products with experimental feature extraction. The temperature profile of the metal AM substrate during the process was experimentally collected. Time-domain features were extracted from the temperature profile, and their relationships to the warpage mechanism were investigated. The standard deviation showed a significant linear correlation with warpage. The findings from this study are expected to contribute to optimizing process parameters for metal AM warpage reduction.
