Motion segmentation is a fundamental technique for analysing image sequences of real scenes. A process of identifying moving objects from data is a typical task in many computer vision applications. In this paper, we propose motion segmentation that generally consists from background subtraction and foreground pixel segmentation. The Approximated Median Filter (AMF) was chosen to perform background modeling. Motion segmentation in this paper covers RGB video data.

A novel method of Skin lesion segmentation based on the combination of Texture and Neural Network is proposed in this paper. This paper combines the textures of different pixels in the skin images in order to increase the performance of lesion segmentation. For segmenting skin lesions, a two-step process is done. First, automatic border detection is performed to separate the lesion from the background skin. This begins by identifying the features that represent the lesion border clearly by the process of Texture analysis. In the second step, the obtained features are given as input towards the Recurrent Echo state neural networks in order to obtain the segmented skin lesion region. The proposed algorithm is trained and tested for 862 skin lesion images in order to evaluate the accuracy of segmentation. Overall accuracy of the proposed method is compared with existing algorithms. An average accuracy of 98.8% for segmenting skin lesion images has been obtained.

프랙탈 영상 부호화의 새로운 응용 분야인 프랙탈 영역 분할법의 YST방법은 주기점에 의한 라벨 붙이기와 프랙탈 변환에 의한 라벨 수정을 병용한 영역 분할법을 제안하였다. 그러나 이 개선법은 영역 분할의 질적인 개선은 가능하였으나, 여전히 라벨 붙이기와 라벨 수정의 과정에서 중복성이 남아 있다. 이 문제점의 해결방안으로 본 논문에서는 궤도에 따른 라벨 붙이기와 프랙탈 변환의 반복 과정에 관한 제약 조건을 제안한다.

In on-line character recognition, to segment input character is important. This paper proposes an internal character segmentation algorithm. The internal segmentation algorithm produces candidate words by considering possible combinations of Korean alphabets. In this process, we make use of projections of strokes onto the horizontal axis to remove ambiguities among candidate words. As a result of experiments, the internal segmentation algorithm shows better performance than external segmentation algorithm as the gap between sample characters becomes smaller.

There may be several parallel equipments having the same function in a multi-stage manufacturing process, which affect the product quality differently and have significant differences in defect rate. The product quality may depend on what equipments it has been processed as well as what process variable values it has. Applying one model ignoring the presence of different equipments may distort the prediction of defect rate and the identification of important quality variables affecting the defect rate. We propose a procedure for data segmentation when constructing models for predicting the defect rate or for identifying major process variables influencing product quality. The proposed procedure is based on the principal component analysis and the analysis of variance, which demonstrates a better performance in predicting defect rate through a case study with a PDP manufacturing process.

Vegetation segmentation in a field color image is a process of distinguishing vegetation objects of interests like crops and weeds from a background of soil and/or other residues. The performance of the process is crucial in automatic precision agriculture which includes weed control and crop status monitoring. To facilitate the segmentation, color indices have predominantly been used to transform the color image into its gray-scale image. A thresholding technique like the Otsu method is then applied to distinguish vegetation parts from the background. An obvious demerit of the thresholding based segmentation will be that classification of each pixel into vegetation or background is carried out solely by using the color feature of the pixel itself without taking into account color features of its neighboring pixels. This paper presents a new pixel-based segmentation method which employs a multi-layer perceptron neural network to classify the gray-scale image into vegetation and nonvegetation pixels. The input data of the neural network for each pixel are 2-dimensional gray-level values surrounding the pixel. To generate a gray-scale image from a raw RGB color image, a well-known color index called Excess Green minus Excess Red Index was used. Experimental results using 80 field images of 4 vegetation species demonstrate the superiority of the neural network to existing threshold-based segmentation methods in terms of accuracy, precision, recall, and harmonic mean.

We perform the task of video object segmentation by incorporating a conditional random field (CRF) and convolutional neural networks (CNNs). Most methods employ a CRF to refine a coarse output from fully convolutional networks. Others treat the inference process of the CRF as a recurrent neural network and then combine CNNs and the CRF into an end-to-end model for video object segmentation. In contrast to these methods, we propose a novel higher-order CRF model to solve the problem of video object segmentation. Specifically, we use CNNs to establish a higher-order dependence among pixels, and this dependence can provide critical global information for a segmentation model to enhance the global consistency of segmentation. In general, the optimization of the higher-order energy is extremely difficult. To make the problem tractable, we decompose the higher-order energy into two parts by utilizing auxiliary variables and then solve it by using an iterative process. We conduct quantitative and qualitative analyses on multiple datasets, and the proposed method achieves competitive results.

단문분할은 한 문장에 용언이 복수개 있을 때 용언을 중심으로 문장을 나누는 방법이다. 기존의 방법은 정형화된 문장의 경우 비교적 효율적인 결과를 얻을 수 있으나, 구문적으로 복잡한 문장인 경우는 한계를 보였다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 한계를 극복하기 위해서 구문 정보만이 아니라, 의미 정보를 활용하여 단문을 분할하는 방법을 제안한다. 정형화된 문장의 경우와 달리 일상적인 문장은 무장 구조의 모호성이나 조사의 생략 등이 빈번하므로 의미 수준에서의 단문분할이 필요하다. 의미 영역에서 단문분할을 하면 기존의 구문 의존적인 방법들에서 발생하는 모호성을 상당수 해소할 수 있게 된다. 논문에서는 먼저 하위범주와 사전과 시소러스의 의미 정보를 이용하여 용언과 보어성분 간의 의존구조를 우선적으로 파악하고, 구문적인 정보와 기타 문법적인 지식을 사용하여 기타 성분을 의존구조에 점진적으로 포함시켜가는 이단계 단문분할 알고리즘을 제안한다. 제안된 이단계 단문분할 방법의 유용성을 보이기 위해 ETRI-KONAN의 말뭉치 중 25,000문장을 수작업으로 술어와 보어성분 간의 의존구조를 태깅한 후 본 논문에서 제안한 방법과 비교하는 실험을 수행하였으며, 이때 단문분할의 결과는 91.8%의 정확성을 보였다.

멀티미디어 표준안으로 제안된 MPEG-4는 객체기반 부호화 방식으로서, 객체를 효율적으로 분할하는 것은 MPEG-4에 있어 중요한 관건이다. 지금까지 이 분야에 대한 연구는 주로 rigid object를 대상으로 하였으나, 본 논문에서는 non-rigid object, 특히 구름이나 연기와 같은 non-rigid object를 대상으로 하여 효율적인 영역 분할 방식을 연구하였다. Non-rigid object는 모양이나 크기가 일정치 않으며 시간에 따라 형태도 변형되므로 정확히 분할해내는 것은 쉽지 않다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 이를 효율적으로 극복하기 위해 정지 영상에서는 watershed 알고리즘을 사용하여 non-rigid object를 분할해 주었다. 그리고 동영상에서는 intra-frame segmentation과 inter-frame segmentation을 통해 연속되는 프레임 내 관심 있는 객체의 경계선을 자동으로 추출해 주었다. 이 때 영상 내 경계 정보와 영역 정보 각각에 가중치를 두어 원하는 객체를 보다 정확히 추출해 주었다.
