We have presented the tracing algorithm for center pixel of character image. Character image was read by scanner device. Performing the tracing process, it can be possible to detect feature points, such as branch point, stroke of 4 directions. So, the tracing process covers the thinning and feature point detection process for improving the processing time. Usage of suggested tracing algorithm instead of thinning that is the preprocessing of character recognition increases speed up to 5 times. The preprocessing chip has been designed by using single layer perceptron algorithm.

In this paper, we present a novel, rapid approach for the detection of brain tumors and deformity boundaries in medical images using a genetic algorithm with wavelet based preprocessing. The contour detection problem is formulated as an optimization process that seeks the contour of the object in a manner of minimizing an energy function based on an active contour model. The brain tumor segmentation contour, however, cannot be detected in case that a higher gradient intensity exists other than the interested brain tumor and deformities. Our method for discerning brain tumors and deformities from unwanted adjacent tissues is proposed. The proposed method can be used in medical image analysis because the exact contour of the brain tumor and deformities is followed by precise diagnosis of the deformities.

본 연구에서는 ASM기반 $(2D)^2$ 하이브리드 전처리 알고리즘을 이용한 얼굴인식 분류기와 그것의 설계방법론을 소개한다. 얼굴인식을 위한 이미지는 외부 환경에 쉽게 영향을 받기 때문에, 전처리 단계로 이러한 문제를 해결하기 위해서 ASM을 사용하였다. 특히 사람 얼굴의 특징 추출을 목적으로 널리 이용되고 있다. ASM을 이용해 얼굴영역을 추출 한 뒤 PCA와 LDA를 이용한 $(2D)^2$ 하이브리드 전처리 알고리즘을 이용하여 차원을 축소한다. 전처리 알고리즘을 통한 얼굴데이터는 제안된 다항식 기반 방사형 기저함수 신경회로망의 입력으로 사용된다. 기존의 신경회로망과는 달리 제안된 지능형 패턴 분류기는 강인한 네트워크 특성을 가지며, 예측능력이 우수할 뿐만 아니라 다차원 입출력에 대한 문제도 해결했다. 분류기의 중요한 필수 설계 파라미터(행의 고유벡터의 수, 열의 고유벡터의 수, 클러스터의 수, 퍼지화 계수)는 ABC알고리즘에 의해 최적화 되어진다. 얼굴인식에 많이 사용되는 Yale과 AT&T를 사용하여 인식률을 평가하였다.

This paper presents the study in the development of optimal working method for an outer-hull preprocessing robot using a quaternion. The out-hull preprocessing robot consists of feathering and cleaning parts. This robot should be controlled correctly for feathering work because it is to be worked on a curved plate that can result in the errors of orientation. In this paper, we propose a control algorithm between given two orientations of the out-hull preprocessing robot by using a quaternion with spherical linear interpolation. The proposed control algorithm is shown to be effective in terms of motor angles and torques when compared to a conventional Euler angle interpolation, by using both $MATLAB^{\circledR}$ and $VisualNastran4D^{\circledR}$.

Flame structure, which contains a useful information for studying combustion instability of the flame, is often quantitatively visualized with PLIF (planar laser-induced fluorescence) and/or chemiluminescence images. The latter, a line-integral of a flame property, needs to be preprocessed before being inverted, mainly due to its inherent noise and the axisymmetry assumption of the inversion. A preprocessing scheme utilizing multi-division of ROI (region of interest) of the chemiluminescence image is proposed. Its feasibility has been tested with OH PLIF and $OH^*$ chemiluminescence images of SNG (synthetic natural gas) swirl-stabilized flames taken from a model gas turbine combustor. It turns out that the multi-division technique outperforms two conventional ones: those are, one without preprocessing and the other with uni-division preprocessing, reconstructing the SNG flame structure much better than its two counterparts, when compared with the corresponding OH PLIF images. It is also found that the Canny edge detection algorithm used for detecting edges in the multi-division method works better than the Sobel algorithm does.

In a still mill, the effective surface defect inspection algorithm is necessary. For this purpose, this paper proposed the preprocessing algorithm for surface defect inspection of cold mill strip. This consists of live steps. They are edge detection, binarizing, noise deletion, combining of fragmented defect and selecting the largest defect. Especially, binarizing is a critical problem. Bemuse the performance of the preprocessing is largely depend on the binarized image. So, we develope the adaptive thresholding method, which is multilevel thresholding. The thresholding value is varied according to the mean graylevel value of each test image. To investigate the performance of the proposed algorithm, we classified the detected defect using neural network. The test image is 20 defect images captured at German Sick Co. This algorithm is proved to have good property in cold mill strip surface inspection.

This paper proposes lane recognition algorithm using lane prominence technique to extract lane candidate. The lane prominence technique is combined with embossing effect, lane thickness check, and lane extraction using mask. The proposed lane recognition algorithm consists of preprocessing, lane candidate extraction and lane recognition. First, preprocessing is executed, which includes gray image acquisition, inverse perspective transform and gaussian blur. Second, lane candidate is extracted by using lane prominence technique. Finally, lane is recognized by using hough transform and least square method. To evaluate the proposed lane recognition algorithm, this algorithm was applied to the detection of lanes in the rainy and night day. The experiment results showed that the proposed algorithm can recognize lane in various environment. It means that the algorithm can be applied to lane recognition to drive unmanned vehicles.

There are many free applications that need users to sign up before they can use the applications nowadays. It is difficult to choose a suitable password for your account. If the password is too complicated, then it is hard to remember it. However, it is easy to be intruded by other users if we use a very simple password. Therefore, biometric-based approach is one of the solutions to solve the issue. The biometric-based approach includes keystroke dynamics on keyboard, mice, or mobile devices, gait analysis and many more. The approach can integrate with any appropriate machine learning algorithm to learn a user typing behavior for authentication system. Preprocessing phase is one the important role to increase the performance of the algorithm. In this paper, we have proposed ensemble-by-session (EBS) method which to operate the preprocessing phase before the training phase. EBS distributes the dataset into multiple sub-datasets based on the session. In other words, we split the dataset into session by session instead of assemble them all into one dataset. If a session is considered as one day, then the sub-dataset has all the information on the particular day. Each sub-dataset will have different information for different day. The sub-datasets are then trained by a machine learning algorithm. From the experimental result, we have shown the improvement of the performance for each base algorithm after the preprocessing phase.

Off-line handwritten character recognition is in difficulty of incomplete preprocessing because it has not dynamic and timing information besides has various handwriting, extreme overlap of the consonant and vowel and many error image of stroke. Consequently off-line handwritten character recognition needs to study about preprocessing of various methods such as binarization and thinning. This paper considers running time of watershed algorithm and the quality of resulting image as preprocessing For off-line handwritten Korean character recognition. So it proposes application of effective watershed algorithm for segmentation of character region and background region in gray level character image and segmentation function for binarization image and segmentation function for binarization by extracted watershed image. Besides it proposes thinning methods which effectively extracts skeleton through conditional test mask considering running time and quality. of skeleton, estimates efficiency of existing methods and this paper's methods as running time and quality. Watershed image conversion uses prewitt operator for gradient image conversion, extracts local minima considering 8-neighborhood pixel. And methods by using difference of mean value is used in region merging step, Converted watershed image by means of this methods separates effectively character region and background region applying to segmentation function. Average execution time on the previous method was 2.16 second and on this paper method was 1.72 second. We prove that this paper's method removed noise effectively with overlap stroke as compared with the previous method.
