Larger proteins (above molecular weight 50 kDa) usually show slow motional tumbling in solution, which facilitates the decay of NMR signal, resulting in poor signal-to-noise. In the past twenty years, researchers have tried to overcome this problem with higher molecular weight by improvement of hardware (higher magnetic field and cryoprobe), optimization of pulse sequences for lager molecules, and development of isotope-labeling techniques. Actually, GroEL/ES complex (${\approx}$ 900 kDa) was successfully studied using combination of above techniques. Among the techniques used in large molecular studies, the impact of isotope-labeling for large molecules study is summarized and discussed here.

In this paper, we proposed the recognition method that automatically extracts cracks from a surface image acquired by a digital camera and recognizes the directions (horizontal, vertical, -45 degree, and 45 degree) of cracks using the fuzzy single layer perceptron. We compensate an effect of light on a concrete surface image by applying the closing operation, which is one of the morphological techniques, extract the edges of cracks by Sobel masking, and binarize the image by applying the iterated binarization technique. Two times of noise reduction are applied to the binary image for effective noise elimination. After the specific regions of cracks are automatically extracted from the preprocessed image by applying Glassfire labeling algorithm to the extracted crack image, the cracks of the specific region are enlarged or reduced to $30{\times}30$ pixels and then used as input patterns to the fuzzy single layer perceptron. The experiments using concrete crack images showed that the cracks in the concrete crack images were effectively extracted and the fuzzy single layer perceptron was effective in the recognition of the extracted cracks directions.

Ganglion cysts are benign soft tissues usually encountered in the wrist. In this paper, we propose a method to extract a ganglion cyst region from ultrasonography images by using image segmentation. The proposed method using the possibilistic c-means (PCM) clustering method is applicable to ganglion cyst extraction. The methods considered in this thesis are fuzzy stretching, median filter, PCM clustering, and connected component labeling. Fuzzy stretching performs well on ultrasonography images and improves the original image. Median filter reduces the speckle noise without decreasing the image sharpness. PCM clustering is used for categorizing pixels into the given cluster centers. Connected component labeling is used for labeling the objects in an image and extracting the cyst region. Further, PCM clustering is more robust in the case of noisy data, and the proposed method can extract a ganglion cyst area with an accuracy of 80% (16 out of 20 images).

제한된 구역내의 고정(static)된 감시 카메라를 통해 입력된 영상 데이터에 대해 움직임이 있는 물체를 검출하기 위해서는 주위 잡음(noise)에 대한 민감성(sensitivity)과 상황변화에 대해 대처할 수 있는 강인한 알고리즘이 요구된다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 잡음이나 갑작스런 상황의 변화에 적절히 대응하여 움직임 물체를 추출하고 추적하는 효율적인 알고리즘을 제안한다. 초기 배경 모델(background model) 영상에 의해서 입력되는 영상 내에 이동 물체가 존재할 경우 각 화소의 주변의 변화를 고려하여 움직임 영역을 검출하였다. 움직임 영역의 화소들의 잡음 제거를 위해 형태학적 필터(morphological filter)를 사용하였고, 8-연결 성분 표시(connected component labeling)에 의해 개별적인 물체의 움직임을 검출하였다. 마지막으로 다양한 환경과 모델에 따른 실험결과와 통계적인 분석을 제시하였다.

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 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 pallets. First of all, in order to detect the edge of object, the differential filter is used. And we apply to the labeling algorithm for feature extraction. This algorithm is designed for the defect inspection of pallets ...

One serious problem among the troubles to identify objects in an optical microscopic image is contour background due to non-uniform light source and various transparency of samples. To solve this problem, this paper proposed an elimination method of the contour background and compensation technique as follows. First, Otsu's optimal thresholding method extracts pixels representing background. Second, bilinear interpolation finds non-deterministic background pixels among the sampled pixels. Third, the 2D cubic fitting method composes surface function from pivoted background pixels. Fourth, reconstruction procedure makes a contour image from the surface function. Finally, elimination procedure subtracts the approximated background from the original image. To prove the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm, this algorithm is applied to the yeast Zygosaccharomyces rouxii and ammonia-oxidizing bacteria Acinetobacter sp. Labeling by this proposed method can remove some noise and is more exact than labeling by only Otsu's method. Futhermore, we show that it is more effective for the reduction of noise.

Object detection models have become the current tool of choice for plant disease detection in precision agriculture. Most existing research improves the performance by ameliorating networks and optimizing the loss function. However, the data-centric part of a whole project also needs more investigation. In this paper, we proposed a systematic strategy with three different annotation methods for plant disease detection: local, semi-global, and global label. Experimental results on our paprika disease dataset show that a single class annotation with semi-global boxes may improve accuracy. In addition, we also studied the noise factor during the labeling process. An ablation study shows that annotation noise within 10% is acceptable for keeping good performance. Overall, this data-centric numerical analysis helps us to understand the significance of annotation methods, which provides practitioners a way to obtain higher performance and reduce annotation costs on plant disease detection tasks. Our work encourages researchers to pay more attention to label quality and the essential issues of labeling methods.

Detecting marker coordinates is important in augmented reality system based on tag. If a marker is not detected, objects can't be augmented. In this paper, we propose a noise reduction method for augmented reality. Using a blue color space to HIS color transformation was performed on the binary. Erosion operator and the dilation operator of the binary images were performed. Experimental results show that proposed method produces a tag image recognizable in various light environments. And using the area of the rectangle, the labeling could be detected through the tag. Tag recognition rate is improved by removing noise.

In this paper, we implement a multi-touch system using FIDR. The implementation consists of hardware manufacture and development of image processing system. In the hardware system, touch screen, infrared LED placements and infrared camera are made. The image processing procedure is to extract each pointer's coordinates from image data and includes binary-coding, noise-elimination, labeling and calculation of mass center. From the implementation, we are able to make a multi-touch system with considerably lower cost than the existing ones.

영상 입출력 장치 사용이 증가함에 따라 컬러영상 내 문자영역 추출의 중요성 또한 높아지고 있다. 본 논문은 이러한 영상 내 문자영역을 효과적으로 추출하기 위해 레이블링 기법과 화소 단위의 밝기값 변화에 기반한 문자영역 추출 방법을 제안한다. 제안하는 방법은 레이블링 및 필터링 과정을 통해 비문자 영역을 미리 제거하고, 밝기값의 변화가 큰 문자영역의 특성을 이용하여 문자영역 후보군을 추출한 후 노이즈 제거 및 문자영역 병합의 후처리 과정을 통해 문자영역을 추출한다. 제안한 방법의 강점은 기존 방법보다 단순하면서도 높은 정확성에 있다. 실험 결과 제안한 방법의 정확도와 재현율, 비문자 추출의 역 비율(IRNTE)은 각각 99.59%, 98.65%, 82.30%로 측정되었다.
