In this paper, we propose an automaticdetection method of foreign bodies through template matching in industrial CT volume data. Our method is composed of three main steps. First,Indown-sampling data, the product region is separated from background after noise reduction and initial foreign-body candidates are extracted using mean and standard deviation of the product region. Then foreign-body candidates are extracted using K-means clustering. Second, the foreign body with different intensity of product region is detected using template matching. At this time, the template matching is performed by evaluating SSD orjoint entropy according to the size of detected foreign-body candidates. Third, to improve thedetection rate of foreign body in original volume data, final foreign bodiesare detected using percolation method. For the performance evaluation of our method, industrial CT volume data and simulation data are used. Then visual inspection and accuracy assessment are performed and processing time is measured. For accuracy assessment, density-based detection method is used as comparative method and Dice's coefficient is measured.

GNSS has the disadvantage of being vulnerable to jamming, and thus, the necessity of jamming countermeasure techniques has gradually increased. Jamming countermeasure techniques can be divided into an anti-jamming technique and a jammer localization technique. Depending on the type of a jammer, applicable techniques and performance vary significantly. Using an appropriate jamming countermeasure technique, the effect of jamming on a GNSS receiver can be attenuated, and prompt action is enabled when estimating the location of a jammer. However, if an inappropriate jamming countermeasure technique is used, a GNSS receiver may not operate in the worst case. Therefore, jammer identification is a technique that is essential for proper action. In this study, a technique that identifies a jammer based on template matching was proposed. For template matching, analysis of a received jamming signal is required; and the signal analysis was performed using a spectral correlation function. Based on a simulation, it was shown that the proposed identification of jamming signals was possible at various JNR.

In this paper, we propose a method for deciding permission from the ATM(Automated Teller Machine) using face detection. First, we extract skin areas and make candidate face images from an input image, and then detect a face using Adaboost(Adaptive Boosting) algorithm. Next, proposed method executes a template matching for making a decision on whether to wear accessories like sunglasses or a mask in detected face image. Finally, this method decides whether to permit ATM service using this result. Experimental results show that proposed method performed well at indoors ATM environment for detecting whether to wear accessories.

In this paper, we propose a method for detecting pedestrian, problem-solving situations that occur in a cross. When a pedestrian crossing and other, there occurs a problem of detecting the other pedestrians for detecting a specific pedestrian in the image. The proposed method for solving the problem is as follows. First, select a specific pedestrian detected by bounding box, and extracts the area as a template. Detecting a pedestrian from the image using the HOG, and designated as a candidate region. The final choice of the pedestrian detected by comparison with a candidate pedestrian with the specific pedestrian extracted for template. In comparison, using the Template matching, Histogram comparison and LBP.

This paper proposes a new detection method of human faces in grey scale images with cluttered background using a facial template and elliptical structure of the human head. Face detection technique can be applied in many areas of image processing such as face recognition, composition and computer graphics, etc. Until now, many researches about face detection have been done, and applications in more complicated conditions are increasing. The existing technique proposed by Sirohey shows relatively good performance in image with cluttered background, but can apply only to image with one face and needs much computation time. The proposed method is designed to reduce complexity and be applied even in the image with several faces by introducing template matching as preprocess. The results show that the proposed method produces more correct detection rate and needs less computation time than the existing one.

Prevention of drowsy driving is one of the important issues for safe driving. In this study, the algorithm for detection of drowsy driving has been developed. The algorithm was implemented by applying template matching and line profile, which detects eye blink. The accuracy of eye detection and blink detection was $97.45{\pm}3.67%$ and $98.50{\pm}0.92%$, which was resulted from the verification experiment that 21 subjects participated. Consequently, the algorithm is expected to be used to prevent sleep-deprived driving.

As Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) image can be acquired regardless of the weather and day or night, it is highly recommended to be used for Automatic Target Recognition (ATR) in the fields of surveillance, reconnaissance, and national security. However, there are some limitations in terms of cost and operation to build various and vast amounts of target images for the SAR-ATR system. Recently, interest in the development of an ATR system based on simulated SAR images using a target model is increasing. Attributed Scattering Center (ASC) matching and template matching mainly used in SAR-ATR are applied to target classification. The method based on ASC matching was developed by World View Vector (WVV) feature reconstruction and Weighted Bipartite Graph Matching (WBGM). The template matching was carried out by calculating the correlation coefficient between two simulated images reconstructed with adjacent points to each other. For the performance analysis of the two proposed methods, the Synthetic and Measured Paired Labeled Experiment (SAMPLE) dataset was used, which has been recently published by the U.S. Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA). We conducted experiments under standard operating conditions, partial target occlusion, and random occlusion. The performance of the ASC matching is generally superior to that of the template matching. Under the standard operating condition, the average recognition rate of the ASC matching is 85.1%, and the rate of the template matching is 74.4%. Also, the ASC matching has less performance variation across 10 targets. The ASC matching performed about 10% higher than the template matching according to the amount of target partial occlusion, and even with 60% random occlusion, the recognition rate was 73.4%.

Recently, there is an increasing need for developing the technique of Hand Gesture Recognition (HGR), for vision based interface. Since hand gesture is defined as consecutive change of hand posture, developing the algorithm of Hand Posture Recognition (HPR) is required. Among the factors that decrease the performance of HPR, we focus on rotation factor. To achieve rotation invariant HPR, we propose a method that uses the property of video that adjacent frames in video have high correlation, considering the environment of HGR. The proposed method introduces template update of object tracking using the above mentioned property, which is different from previous works based on still images. To compare our proposed method with previous methods such as template matching, PCA and LBP, we performed experiments with video that has hand rotation. The accuracy rate of the proposed method is 22.7%, 14.5%, 10.7% and 4.3% higher than ordinary template matching, template matching using KL-Transform, PCA and LBP, respectively.

Seamless data integration in the CAx chain of the CAD/CAPP/CAM/CNC has been achieved to a high degree, but research concerning the transfer of data from conceptual sketches to a CAD system should be carried out further. This paper presents a method for reconstructing a 3D model from a freehand sketch. Sketch-based modeling research can be classified into gestural modeling methods and reconstructional modeling methods. This research involves the reconstructional modeling method. Here, Mitani's seminal work, designed for box-shaped 3D model using a predefined template, is improved by leveraging a relational template and specialized for automotive design. Matching between edge graphs of the relational template and the sketch is formulated and solved as the assignment problem using the feature vectors of the edges. Including the stroke preprocessing method required to generate an edge graph from a sketch, necessary procedures and relevant techniques for implementing the template-based modeling method are described. Examples from a working implementation are given.

In this paper, we propose a new nonlinear matching measure for automatic analysis of the on-off type DNA microarray images in which the hybridized spots are detected by the template matching method. The proposed measure is obtained by binary-thresholding over the whole template region and taking the number of white pixels inside the spotted area. This measure is compared with the normalized covariance in terms of the classification ability of the successfulness of the locating markers. The proposed measure is evaluated for the scanned images of HPV DNA microarrays where the marker locating is a critical issue because of the small number of spots. The targeting spots of HPV DNA chips are designed for genotyping 22 types of the human papilloma virus(HPV). The proposed measure is proven to give more discriminative response reducing the miss cases of the successful marker locating.
