본 논문에서는 콘크리트 표면 균열 영상에서 균열의 특징들을 추출하기 위하여, 영상 처리 기법을 개선하여 균열의 특징(길이,폭,방향)들을 자동으로 추출 및 분석 할 수 있는 기법을 제안한다. 기존의 영상 처리 기법에서는 비교적 잡음이 적고 균열이 적은 영상을 대상으로 균열을 추출하는 알고리즘을 제시하였기 때문에 많은 잡음과 균열을 가지는 영상에 대해서는 균열 검출 성능이 떨어지는 경향이 있다. 따라서, 본 논문에서 제안한 균열 추출 및 분석 알고리즘은 컬러 영상에서 Histogram Stretching 기법을 적용하여 영상의 콘트라스트 특성을 향상 시킨 후, Robert 연산자를 다시 적용해 균열을 강조하고, 강조된 균열을 Multiple 연산을 이용하여 밝기 차이를 크게 한 후, 개선된 적응 이진화기법을 이용하여 균열의 후보 영역을 추출한다. 추출된 균열 후보 영역을 형상 분석과 위치 및 방향분석을 이용하여 잡음을 제거하고 균열의 특징을 분석한다. 실제 콘크리트 표면 균열 영상을 대상으로 실험한 결과, 균열 검출 성능이 기존의 방법보다 본 논문에서 제안한 방법이 더 우수함을 확인하였다.

An edge detection is an very important area in image processing and computer vision, General edge detection methods (Robert mask, Sobel mask, Kirsh mask etc) are a good performance to detect step edge in a image but are no good performance to detect step edge in a noses image. We suggested a step edge detection method based on image information measure and neutral network. Using these essential properties of step edges, which are directional and structural and whose gray level distribution in neighborhood, as a input vector to the BP neutral network we get the good result of proposed algorithm. And also we get the satisfactory experimental result using rose image and cell images an experimental and analysing image.

In this paper, we have discussed three-type median filters(SQUARE, CROSS, X-SHAPE) that preserving edge in an original image while reducing random noise was introduced for image enhancement and edge detection on radar image. Since radar image have a number of parts of curve, we compared results produced by edge detection operater proposed for improving the parts of curve with results of using the existing edge detection methods, such as Roberts, Sobel, Prewitt, Laplacian and Kirsch.

This paper proposes a method that extracts characteristics of cracks such as length, thickness and direction from a concrete slab surface image with image processing techniques. These techniques extract the cracks from the concrete surface image in variable conditions including bad image conditions) using the ART2-based RBF network to recognize the dominant directions -45 degree, 45 degree, horizontal and vertical) of the extracted cracks from the automatically calculated specifications like the lengths, directions and widths of the cracks. Our proposed extraction algorithms and analysis of the concrete cracks used a Robert operation to emphasize the cracks, and a Multiple operation to increase the difference in brightness between the cracks and background. After these treatments, the cracks can be extracted from the image by using an iterated binarization technique. Noise reduction techniques are used three separate times on this binarized image, and the specifications of the cracks are extracted form this noiseless image. The dominant directions can be recognized by using the ART2-based RBF network. In this method, the ART2 is used between the input layer and the middle layer to learn, and the Delta learning method is used between the middle layer and the output layer. The experiments using real concrete images showed that the cracks were effectively extracted, and the Proposed ART2-based RBF network effectively recognized the directions of the extracted cracks.
