의료 영상 분야에서 영상의 분할 및 특성의 추출을 위하여 명암도 차이를 이용하는 방법이 널리 사용되고 있으며, 임계값을 결정한 뒤 이를 기준으로 영상을 이진화하는 임계값 방식이 잘 알려져 있다. 임계값 방식 중 자주 사용되는 방식이 임계값을 선택하는 데 효율적이면서, 효과적인 선정 기준을 제시하고 있는 Otsu 알고리즘이다. 하지만 흉부 X-ray 영상에 대해서는 Otsu 알고리즘의 적용으로 좋은 영상 분할 결과를 얻을 수 없다. 이는 폐 영역 주변에는 갈비뼈나 혈관과 같은 다양한 기관이 존재하여 따라서 명암도 레벨의 분포가 불명확하기 때문이다. 이러한 불명료성을 개선하기 위하여, 본 논문에서는 X-ray 영상의 배경을 배제한 후 Otsu 알고리즘을 적용하고, 명암 레벨 지도를 생성한 후, 이를 이용하여 X-ray 영상을 분할하는 효과적인 폐 영역 추출 알고리즘을 제시한다. 제안한 방법의 효과를 검증하기 위해 제안한 방법과 기존의 1차원 및 2차원 Otsu 알고리즘, 그리고 전문가의 육안 분할 결과와 비교하였다. 실험 결과, 제안한 방법이 기존 Otsu 방법에 비해 더 정확하게 폐 영역을 추출하였으며, 육안 분할 결과와 거의 비슷한 결과를 보여 주었다.

In this paper, a method is proposed to recognize human actions as nonverbal expression; the proposed method is composed of two steps which are action representation and action recognition. First, MHI(Motion History Image) is used in the action representation step. This method includes segmentation based on depth information and generates spatio-temporal templates to describe actions. Second, CNN(Convolution Neural Network) which includes feature extraction and classification is employed in the action recognition step. It extracts convolution feature vectors and then uses a classifier to recognize actions. The recognition performance of the proposed method is demonstrated by comparing other action recognition methods in experimental results.

ECG pattern was classified using a back-propagation neural network. An improved feature extractor of ECG is proposed for better classification capability. It is consisted of preprocessing ECG signal by an FIR filter faster than conventional one by a factor of 5. QRS complex recognition by moving-window integration, and peak extraction by quadratic approximation. Since the FIR filter had a periodic frequency spectrum, only one-fifth of usual processing time was required. Also, segmentation of ECG signal followed by quadratic approximation of each segment enabled accurate detection of both P and T waves. When improtant features were extracted and fed into back-propagation neural network for pattern classification, the required number of nodes in hidden and input layers was reduced compared to using raw data as an input, also reducing the necessary time for study. Accurate pattern classification was possible by an appropriate feature selection.

The merit of the stroke extraction algorithm is the ease of the feature abstraction from the skeleton of a character, But, extracting strokes from Korean characters has two major problems that must be dealt with. One is extracting primitive strokes and the other is merging or splitting the strokes using dynamic information of the strokes. In this paper, a method is proposed to extract strokes from an off-line handwritten Korean character. We have developed some stroke segmentation rules based on splitting, merging and directional analysis. Using these techniques, we can extract and trace the strokes in an off-line handwritten Korean character accurately and efficiently.

인체에 대한 표준데이터를 사용하지 않고 실제 한국인의 의료 영상 데이터를 사용하여 인체 모델을 만들고자 하였다. 먼저 CT와 MRI를 통해 획득한 인체의 의료영상에 대한 특징을 분석하였다. 인체의 해부학적인 구성요소에 대해 CT는 gray level로 MR 영상은 펄스시퀀스 별로 분석하여 특징을 추출하였다. 해부학적 구성요소의 특징을 바탕으로 인체 각 부위별로 영상을 얻기 위해 CT와 MR 영상에 대해 영상분할을 수행하였다. 인체의 부위 중 특히 인체의 네 가지 인체 역학적 구조물인 골조직, 근육, 인대, 건 부위를 CT와 MR 영상을 이용하여 구별하였다. 이미지 분할 방법에는 일반적으로 많이 사용되고 있는 경계선 검출(Edge detection), 영역 선택(Region Growing), 문턱치(Intensity Threshold) 방법 등을 선택하여 인체별로 가장 적합한 알고리듬을 적용시켰다. Head/Neck 부위에 대한 영상 분할 결과를 인체 역학적 구성요소별로 3차원 영상으로 재구성하였다.

In this paper, we present early processing techniques for visual inspection of metallic parts. Since metallic surfaces give rise to specular reflections, it is difficult to extract object boundaries using elementary segmentation techniques such as edge detection or binary thresholding. In this paper, we present two techniques for finding object boundaries on micro bit images. First, we explain a technique for detecting blade boundaries using a directional correlation mask. Second, a line and angle extraction technique based on Harris corner detector and Hough transform is described. These techniques have been effective for detecting blade boundaries, and a number of experimental results are presented using real images.

Nowadays, there are a lot of Korean documents, which often need to be identified in one of printed or handwritten text. Early methods for the identification use structural features, which can be simple and easy to apply to text of a specific font, but its performance depends on the font type and characteristics of the text. Recently, the bag-of-words model has been used for the identification, which can be invariant to changes in font size, distortions or modifications to the text. The method based on bag-of-words model includes three steps: word segmentation using connected component grouping, feature extraction, and finally classification using SVM(Support Vector Machine). In this paper, bag-of-words model based method is proposed using SURF(Speeded Up Robust Feature) for the identification of machine printed and handwritten text in Korean documents. The experiment shows that the proposed method outperforms methods based on structural features.

Laser scanned lidar data record 3D surface information in detail. Exploring valuable spatial information from lidar data is a prerequisite task for its applications, such as DEM generation and 3D building model reconstruction. However, the inherent spatial information is implicit in the abundant, densely and randomly distributed point cloud. This paper proposes a novel method to organize point cloud data, so that further analysis or feature extraction can proceed based on a well organized data model. The principle of the proposed algorithm is to segment point cloud into 3D planes. A split and merge segmentation based on the octree structure is developed for the implementation. Some practical airborne and ground lidar data are tested for demonstration and discussion. We expect this data organization could provide a stepping stone for extracting spatial information from lidar data.

The most important things for a forest fire detection system are the exact extraction of the smoke from image and being able to clearly distinguish the smoke from those with similar qualities, such as clouds and fog. This research presents an intelligent forest fire detection algorithm via image processing by using the Gaussian Mixture model (GMM), which can be applied to detect smoke at the earliest time possible in a forest. GMMs are usually addressed by making the model adaptive so that its parameters can track changing illuminations and by making the model more complex so that it can represent multimodal backgrounds more accurately for smoke plume segmentation in the forest. Also, in this paper, we suggest a way to classify the smoke plumes via a feature extraction using HSL(Hue, Saturation and Lightness or Luminanace) color space analysis.

Information about retinal blood vessels can be used in grading disease severity or as part of the process of automated diagnosis of diseases with ocular menifestations. In this paper, we address the problem of detecting retinal blood vessels and optic disk (papilla) in Eye-fundus images. We introduce an algorithm for feature extraction based on Fuzzy festering(FCM). The results ore compared to those obtained with other methods. The automatic detection of retinal blood vessels and optic disk in the Eye-fundus images could help physicians in diagnosing ocular diseases.
