Existing methods for image segmentation using diffusion can't preserve contour information, or noises with high gradients become more salient as the umber of times of the diffusion increases, resulting in over-segmentation when applied to watershed. This thesis proposes a method for image segmentation by applying morphology operation together with robust anisotropic diffusion. For an input image, transformed into LUV color space, closing by reconstruction and anisotropic diffusion are applied to obtain a simplified image which preserves contour information with noises removed. With gradients computed from this simplifed images, watershed algorithm is applied. Experiments show that color images are segmented very effectively without over-segmentation.

Digital image recognition has been used for steel bridge surface assessment since late 1990s. However, the non-uniform illumination problems such as shades, shadows, and highlights are still challenges in image processing to date. Therefore, this paper develops a new approach to tackle the non-uniform illumination problem for rust image adjustment. The inhomogeneous illumination problem is divided into shades/shadows and highlights in this paper. The proposed BEMD-morphology approach (BMA) utilizes the bidimensional empirical mode decomposition to mitigate the shade/shadow effect, and the morphological processing to detect and replace the highlight area. Finally, the rust image processed with the BMA will be segmented by the K-Means algorithm, one of the most popular and effective methods, to show the effectiveness of illumination adjustment.

The most important issues in gesture recognition are the simplification of algorithm and the reduction of processing time. The mathematical morphology based on geometrical set theory is best used to perform the real-time processing. A key idea of the algorithm proposed in this paper is to apply morphological shape decomposition. The primitive elements extracted from a hand gesture have very important information including the directivity of the hand gestures. Based on this algorithm, we proposed the morphological hand-gesture recognition algorithm using feature vectors extracted from lines connecting the center points of a main-primitive element and sub-primitive elements. Through the experiments, we applied to the video contents browsing system with natural interactions and demonstrated the efficiency of this algorithm.

This paper presents an enhanced preprocessing and recognition algorithm for automatic vehicle license plate recognition system. The algorithm first applies horizontal gradient filter followed by thresholding and mathematical morphology operation for preprocessing. The final stage of the preprocessing is the application of connected component analysis in order to estimate the license plate region. For the recognition of the serial numbers of the plates, we developed a very effective algorithm. We call this zerocrossing count algorithm. This paper presents a detail of this algorithm and compare the performance with a template matching algorithm which utilizes correlation coefficient.

본 논문에서는 모폴로지에 의한 중요 클러스터 추출과 적응양자화를 이용한 웨이브릿 영상부호화 방법을 제안한다. 제안한 방법은 기존의 MRWD방법에서의 클러스터 전송시의 부가정보의 비중이 전체 데이터 비트에서 큰 것을 고려하여 모폴로지를 적용하여 중요클러스터를 추출하여 코딩의 효율을 개선하였고 MRWD 양자화기에서 생기는 불필요한 비교연산수를 줄이기 위해 적응 양자화기를 제안하여 양자화 시 발생하는 불필요한 비교연산을 줄일 수 있었다. 본 논문은 양질의 PSNR을 유지하면서 정보량을 줄일 수 있었다.

Purpose: The aim of this study was to evaluate the feasibility of deep learning techniques to classify the morphology and severity of peri-implantitis bone defects based on periapical radiographs. Materials and Methods: Based on a pre-trained and fine-tuned ResNet-50 deep learning algorithm, the morphology and severity of peri-implantitis bone defects on periapical radiographs were classified into six groups (class I/II and slight/moderate/severe). Accuracy, precision, recall, and F1 scores were calculated to measure accuracy. Result: A total of 971 dental images were included in this study. Deep-learning-based classification achieved an accuracy of 86.0% with precision, recall, and F1 score values of 84.45%, 81.22%, and 82.80%, respectively. Class II and moderate groups had the highest F1 scores (92.23%), whereas class I and severe groups had the lowest F1 scores (69.33%). Conclusion: The artificial intelligence-based deep learning technique is promising for classifying the morphology and severity of peri-implantitis. However, further studies are required to validate their feasibility in clinical practice.

최근 들어 인간의 의지를 컴퓨터에 전달하기 위한 수단으로 컴퓨터 시각기반 방식으로 제스처를 인식하고자 하는 연구가 널리 진행되고 있다. 제스처 인식에서 가장 중요한 이슈는 알고리즘의 단순화와 처리시간의 감소이다. 이러한 문제를 해결하기 위하여 본 연구에서는 기하학적 집합론에 근거하고 있는 수학적 형태론을 적용하였다. 본 논문에서 제안한 알고리즘의 중요한 아이디어는 형태론적 형상 분해를 적용하여 제스처를 인식하는 것이다. 손짓 형상으로부터 얻은 원시형상요소들의 방향성은 손짓에 관한 중요한 정보를 내포하고 있다. 이러한 특징에 근거하여 본 연구에서는 주 원시형상요소와 부 원시형상요소의 중심점을 연결하는 직선으로부터 특징벡터를 이용한 형태론적 손짓 인식 알고리즘을 제안하고 실험을 통하여 그 유용성을 증명하였다. 자연스러운 손짓을 이용한 인터페이스 설계는 TV 스위치 조정이나 비디오 컨텐츠 검색용 시스템으로 널리 이용할 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

본 논문에서는 MPEG-4 와 같은 객체 및 내용 기반 영상 부호화에 활용될 수 있는 영상분할 알고리듬을 제안한다. 기존의 수학적 형태학(mathematical morphology)을 이용한 영상분할은 대개 과분할(over-segmentation)된 결과를 출력하는 경향이 있다. 이러한 과분할 문제 때문에 미소영역(small region)이나 비슷한 특성을 갖는 인접영역들을 서로 병합시켜야 하는 단점을 갖고 있다. 본 논문에서는 기존 영상분할의 문제점을 해결하고자 화소단위가 아닌 블록단위의 마커추출을 이용한 영상분할을 제안한다. 즉, 블록단위로 영상을 분할함으로써 질감부분에 해당하는 영역들이 하나의 큰 영역으로 분할될 수 있도록 하고, 영상내 객체(Object)의 정확한 윤곽선(contour)을 찾기 위해 화소단위로 워터쉐드(watershed) 알고리듬을 적용한다. 결과적으로 본논문에서 제안하는 알고리듬을 기존의 수학적 형태학을 이용한 방법과 비교하여 질감영역에서 향상된 영상분할과 계산시간의 부담을 줄일 수 있다는 것을 실험을 통해 확인하였다.

This paper presents an algorithm to separate vowels from consonants in Korean characters captured in noisy environment andto recognize them. The algorithm has been originally developed for recognition of the usage code (which is represented by a single Korean character) in the license plates of Korean vehicles. It, however, could be easily adopted to other applications with minor changes, in which character recognition is needed and the environment is noisy. The key ideas of the algorithm are to localize the vowels utilizing Hough transformation and to separate the vowels from consonants utilizing mathematical morphology. We observed that the presented algorithm effectively separates vowels even if the vowels and consonants are joined together after thresholding. We also observed that our algorithm outperforms some conventional algorithms especially when the input images are noisy. The details of the comparison study are presented in the paper.
