The noise emitted from an excavator has long been a cause of environmental disputes, while causing displeasure to the nearby residents. So, the ministry of environment adopted the construction machinery noise labeling system to encourage the construction machinery manufacturing companies to develop the low noise construction machinery voluntarily. But, as the quality of life improves, a growing number of people desire the comfortable and quite environment to live in. Under the situation, noise from the construction machinery has been a major cause for stress and complaints. When the noise dispute happened in the construction site, the sound pressure level of the construction machinery like a excavator was measured at the lot boundary of the noise victim's residence to judge how much noise damage occur. But the sound pressure level of the construction machinery is measured differently according to the acoustic environment of construction site and the measuring position, respectively, which makes it difficulty to judge whether the noise damage occur or not. As the sound power level of noise source is not affected by the acoustic environment of construction site and the measuring position, if we use the information of the sound power level, it will be easy to judge whether the noise damage occur and to establish the soundproofing measures. Therefore, we derive the sound power level regression model of the excavator to judge whether the noise emitted from the excavator damages to residents near the construction site. Also, the sound power level regression model of the excavator drawn in this paper will help construction companies to plan the noise reduction program in the construction sites.

In this paper, a range image segmentation method is proposed. This method consists of an initial segmentation stage by discontinuous edge detection and surface type labeling based on the sign of the principal curvatures. Initially type labeled image is oversegmented, this image is merged via stepwise optimal region merging stage based on polynomial function approxiamtion. The successful segmentation results are presented for two synthetic range images with noise and a real-world ERIM range image.

In this paper, we propose an efficient detph map creation method using Graph Cut and Discrete Wavelet Transform. First, we have segmented the original image by using Graph Cut to process with its each areas. After that, the information which describes segmented areas of original image have been created by proposed labeling method for segmented areas. And then, we have created four subbands which contain the original image's frequency information. Finally, the depth map have been created by frequency map which made with HH, HL subbands and depth information calculation along the each segmented areas. The proposed method can perform efficient depth map creation process because of dynamic allocation using depth information. We also have tested the proposed method using PSNR(Peak Signal to Noise Ratio) method to evaluate ours.

In this paper, we proposed a new method for pulmonary vessels image segmentation and refinement from pulmonary image. Proposed method consist of following five steps. First, threshold estimation is performed by polynomial regression analysis of histogram variation rate of the pulmonary image. Second, segmentation of pulmonary vessels object is performed by density-based segmentation method based on estimated threshold in first step. Third, 2D connected component labeling method is applied to segmented pulmonary vessels. The seed point of both side diaphragms is determined by eccentricity and size of component. Fourth step is diaphragm extraction by 3D region growing method at the determined seed point. Finally, noise cancelation of pulmonary vessels image is performed by 3D connected component labeling method. The experimental result is showed accurately pulmonary vessels image segmentation, the diaphragm extraction and the noise cancelation of the pulmonary vessels image.

Recently, further study is being done on the affect of crack on concrete structure and many people have made every endeavor not to leave it unsettled but to minimize it by repair works. In this paper we propose the image processing method that do not remain manual but automatically process the length, the direction and e width of cracks on concrete surface. First, we calibrate light's affect from image by using closing operation, one of morphology methods that can extract the feature of oracle and we extract the edge of crack image by sobel mask. After it, crack image is binarized by iteration binarization. And we extract the edge of cracks using noise elimination method that use an average of adjacent pixels by 3${\times}$3 mask and Glassfire Labeling algorithm. on, in this paper we propose an image processing method which can automatically measure the length, the direction and the width of cracks using the extracted edges of cracks. The results of experiment showed that the proposed method works better on the extraction of concrete cracks. Also our method showed the possibility that inspector's decision is unnecessary.

Neurodegenerative disorders, like Alzheimer's disease, are often accompanied by reduced brain perfusion (cerebral blood flow). Using the intrinsic magnetic properties of water, arterial spin labeling magnetic resonance imaging (ASLMRI) can map brain perfusion without injection of radioactive tracers or contrast agents. However, accuracy in measuring perfusion with ASL-MRI can be limited because of contributions to the signal from stationary spins and because of signal modulations due to transient magnetic field effects. The goal was to optimize ASL-MRI for perfusion measurements in the aging human brain, including brains with Alzheimer's disease. A new ASL-MRI sequence was designed and evaluated on phantom and humans. Image texture analysis was performed to test quantitatively improvements. Compared to other ASL-MRI methods, the newly designed sequence provided improved signal to noise ratio improved signal uniformity across slices, and thus, increased measurement reliability. This new ASL-MRI sequence should therefore provide improved measurements of regional changes of brain perfusion in normal aging and neurodegenerative disorders.

The existing recognition system of license plates cannot get the satisfactory result in noise environments. The purpose of this paper is to propose an algorithm that can recognize the region of license plates accurately in a noise environment. The algorithm is formulated by reorganizing the U- and V-channels of YUV color space as YUV is insensitive to light and carries less data than RGB color information. The region of license plates has been extracted by the geometric characteristics, sizes, and places of labeling images. The proposed algorithm was found to improve the process of extracting the region of license plates in various noise environments.

Generative adversarial networks are methods of generating images by opposing two neural networks. When generating the image, randomly generated noise is rearranged to generate the image. The image generated by this method is not generated well depending on the noise, and it is difficult to generate a proper image when the number of pixels of the image is small In addition, the speed and size of data accumulation in data classification increases, and there are many difficulties in labeling them. In this paper, to solve this problem, we propose a technique to generate noise based on random noise using real data. Since the proposed system generates an image based on the existing image, it is confirmed that it is possible to generate a more natural image, and if it is used for learning, it shows a higher hit rate than the existing method using the hostile neural network respectively.

This paper deals with inspect algorithm using visual system. One of the major problems that arise during polymer production is the estimation of the noise of the color product.(bad pallets) An erroneous output can cause a lot of losses (production and financial losses). Therefore new methods for real-time inspection of the noise are demanded. For this reason, we have presented a development of vision system algorithm for the defect inspection of PE color pallets. First of all, in order to detect the edge of object, the differential filter is used. And we apply to the labelling algorithm for feature extraction. This algorithm is designed for the defect inspection of pallets. The labelling algorithm permits to separate all of the connected components appearing on the pallets. Labelling the connected regions of a image is a fundamental computation in image analysis and machine vision, with a large number of application. Also, we suggested vision processing program in window environment. Simulations and experimental results demonstrate the performance of the proposal algorithm.

In this paper, we propose a livestock theft detection system through moving object classification and tracking method. To do this, first, we extract moving objects using GMM(Gaussian Mixture Model) and RGB background modeling method. Second, it utilizes a morphology technique to remove shadows and noise, and recognizes moving objects through labeling. Third, the recognized moving objects are classified into human and livestock using skeletal features and color similarity judgment. Fourth, for the classified moving objects, CAM (Continuously Adaptive Meanshift) Shift and Kalman Filter are used to perform tracking and overlapping judgment, and risk is judged to generate a notification. Finally, several experiments demonstrate the feasibility and applicability of the proposed method.
