이 연구에서는 고해상도 영상의 영상분할단위를 이용한 분석방법의 하나로 영역확장기법을 검토하였다. 먼저 경계추출에 의한 영상분할단위를 기반으로 공간적인 분석이 가능하도록 영상분할단위간의 위상관계를 설정하는 방법을 검토하였다. 다음으로 설정된 영상분할단위간의 위상관계를 바탕으로 한 영역기반의 영역확장 방법을 개발함으로써 영상분할단위를 보다 물체에 가까운 형태로 한 단계 더 처리하였다. 특히 여러 밴드를 활용한 다변량 분석을 시도하여 결과의 신뢰도를 더욱 높이도록 하였다. 그 결과 영상분할단위 기반의 영역확장 결과 영상분할단위가 보다 의미 있는 단위로 발전되었다. 다만 영상분할 단위에 속하는 각 화소의 높은 동질성으로 인하여 통계적 유사성이 통계치에 매우 민감하게 반응하는 결과를 나타내었다.

Since audio speech recognition is affected by noise in real environment, visual speech recognition is used to support speech recognition. For the visual speech recognition, this paper suggests the extraction of lip-feature using two types of image segmentation and reduced ASM. Input images are transformed to YCbCr based images and lips are segmented using the contrast of Y/Cb/Cr between lip and face. Subsequently, lip-shape model trained by PCA is placed on segmented lip region and then lip features are extracted using ASM.

Object detection and parameter estimation in point cloud data is a relevant subject to robotics, reverse engineering, computer vision, and sport mechanics. In this paper a software is presented for fully-automatic object detection and parameter estimation in unordered, incomplete and error-contaminated point cloud with a large number of data points. The software consists of three algorithmic modules each for object identification, point segmentation, and model fitting. The newly developed algorithms for orthogonal distance fitting (ODF) play a fundamental role in each of the three modules. The ODF algorithms estimate the model parameters by minimizing the square sum of the shortest distances between the model feature and the measurement points. Curvature analysis of the local quadric surfaces fitted to small patches of point cloud provides the necessary seed information for automatic model selection, point segmentation, and model fitting. The performance of the software on a variety of point cloud data will be demonstrated live.

During cancer treatment, the patient's response to drugs appears differently at the cellular level. In this paper, an image-based cell phenotypic feature quantification and key feature selection method are presented to predict the response of patient-derived cancer cells to a specific drug. In order to analyze the viability characteristics of cancer cells, high-definition microscope images in which cell nuclei are fluorescently stained are used, and individual-level cell analysis is performed. To this end, first, image stitching is performed for analysis of the same environment in units of the well plates, and uneven brightness due to the effects of illumination is adjusted based on the histogram. In order to automatically segment only the cell nucleus region, which is the region of interest, from the improved image, a superpixel-based segmentation technique is applied using the fluorescence expression level and morphological information. After extracting 242 types of features from the image through the segmented cell region information, only the features related to cell viability are selected through the ReliefF algorithm. The proposed method can be applied to cell image-based phenotypic screening to determine a patient's response to a drug.

Multi-Instance Learning(MIL) performs well to deal with inherently ambiguity of images in multimedia retrieval. In this paper, an effective framework for Contented-Based Image Retrieval(CBIR) with MIL techniques is proposed, the effective mechanism is based on the image segmentation employing improved Mean Shift algorithm, and processes the segmentation results utilizing mathematical morphology, where the goal is to detect the semantic concepts contained in the query. Every sub-image detected is represented as a multiple features vector which is regarded as an instance. Each image is produced to a bag comprised of a flexible number of instances. And we apply a few number of MIL algorithms in this framework to perform the retrieval. Extensive experimental results illustrate the excellent performance in comparison with the existing methods of CBIR with MIL.

This paper describes an automatic 3-dimensional (3D) segmentation method for 3D CT (Computed Tomography) images using region growing (RG) and edge detection techniques. Specifically, an augmented RG method in which the contours of regions are extracted by a 3D digital edge detection filter is presented. The feature of this method is the capability of preventing the leakage of regions which is a defect of conventional RG method. Experimental results applied to the extraction of teeth from 3D CT data of jaw bones show that teeth are correctly extracted by the proposed method.

An indirect visual SLAM takes raw image data and exploits geometric information such as key-points and line edges. Due to various environmental changes, SLAM performance may decrease. The main problem is caused by dynamic objects especially in highly crowded environments. In this paper, we propose a robust feature-based visual SLAM, building on ORB-SLAM, via multi-channel dynamic objects estimation. An optical flow and deep learning-based object detection algorithm each estimate different types of dynamic object information. Proposed method incorporates two dynamic object information and creates multi-channel dynamic masks. In this method, information on actually moving dynamic objects and potential dynamic objects can be obtained. Finally, dynamic objects included in the masks are removed in feature extraction part. As a results, proposed method can obtain more precise camera poses. The superiority of our ORB-SLAM was verified to compared with conventional ORB-SLAM by the experiment using KITTI odometry dataset.

본 논문에서는 이동하는 로봇에 탑재한 대화체 음성인식기의 주위 잡음 환경에 강인한 새로운 음성 끝점 검출 기법을 제안한다. 기존의 기법은 특징 값의 갑작스러운 변화점을 찾기 위해 에지 검출 필터(edge detection filter)를 적용하여 끝점을 찾았다. 하지만 프레임 에너지의 특징은 잡음 환경에서 불안정하기 때문에 음성의 끝점을 정확하게 찾기 어렵다. 그러므로 두 번의 고속 퓨리에 변환과 통계적 모델 기반의 특징 추출 기법을 제안하여 에지 검출 필터에 적용한다. 제안한 기법이 기존의 기법보다 강인한 특징이 될 수 있음을 본 실험을 통하여 확인하였다.

본 논문은 평균이동방법과 연결요소방법을 이용하여 도로 영역을 추출하는 알고리즘을 제안하였다. 평균 이동 방법은 중심 모드를 찾기 위한 비모수적 통계 방법으로 컬러 영상을 분할하는데 효율적이다. 일반적으로, 영상의 중 하단에 위치하는 정보를 활용하여 도로의 특징점이 추출된다. 이 특징점과 분할된 컬러 영상을 이용하면, 도로의 영역을 추출할 수 있다. 그러나, 도로의 위치정보와 색상정보만으로 도로영역을 추출할 경우, 잡음과 도로 이외의 영역까지 추출되는 단점이 있다. 본 논문에서는 모폴로지 열기 닫기 연산을 이용하여 잡음을 제거하고, 연결요소 방법을 통하여 가장 큰 영역의 부분만을 추출하여 도로 영역으로 결정하는 방법을 제안한다. 제안된 방법은 실험을 통하여 잡음 제거와 보다 정확한 도로 검출됨을 검증한다.

Image segmentation is the critical first step in image information extraction for computer vision systems. Clustering methods have been used extensively in color image segmentation. Most analytic fuzzy clustering approaches are divided from the fuzzy c-means(FCM) algorithm. The FCM algorithm uses fie probabilistic constraint that the memberships of a data point across classes sum to 1. However, the memberships resulting from the FCM do not always correspond to the intuitive concept of degree of belonging or compatibility. Moreover, the FCM algorithm has considerable trouble under noisy environments in the feature space. Recently, a possibilistic approach to clustering(PCM) for solving above problems was proposed. In this paper, we used the PCM for color image segmentation. This approach differs from existing fuzzy clustering methods for color image segmentation in that the resulting partition of the data can be interpreted as a possibilistic partition. So, the problems in the FCM can be solved by the PCM. But, the clustering results by the PCM are not smoothly bounded, and they often have holes. The region growing was used as a postprocessing after smoothing the noise points in the pixel seeds. In our experiments, we illustrate that the PCM us reasonable than the FCM in noisy environments.
