Multi-temporal satellite imagery can be changed into a transform image that emphasizes the changed area only through the application of various change detection techniques. From the transform image, an automated change detection model calculates the optimal threshold value for classifying the changed and unchanged areas. However, the model can cause undesirable results when the histogram of the transform image is unbalanced. This is because the model uses a single threshold value in which the sign is either positive or negative and its value is constant (e.g. -1, 1), regardless of the imbalance between changed pixels. This paper proposes an advanced method that can improve accuracy by applying separate threshold values according to the increased or decreased range of the changed pixels. It applies multiple threshold values based on the cumulative producer's and user's accuracies in the automated binary change detection model, and the analyst can automatically extract more accurate optimal threshold values. Multi-temporal IKONOS satellite imagery for the Daejeon area was used to test the proposed method. A total of 16 transformation results were applied to the two study sites, and optimal threshold values were determined using accuracy assessment curves. The experiment showed that the accuracy of most transform images is improved by applying multiple threshold values. The proposed method is expected to be used in various study fields, such as detection of illegal urban building, detection of the damaged area in a disaster, etc.

In this paper, an algorithm to extract bar-space area is suggested. In a section of bar-code space area the threshold value is computed, and bar and space are extracted according to threshold value. PDF417 is used everyday life and printed in many different materials. The printed PDF417 is especially influenced by various light source. The decision of bar and space is very hard under the change of illumination. The fixed threshold value to distinguish the bar and space can not be applied. in these cases, The proposed algorithm is developed to investigate variable threshold. The variable threshold can be obtained by simple calculation.

Thresholding has been used to reduce the number of gray values in images. Typically, a single threshold value has been used, resulting in two gray level images. Image reduction of one single threshold value, however, may lose too much of the high-frequency edge information. Thus, dynamic thresholding that uses a different threshold for each pixel is preferred instead of using a single threshold value. Dynamic thresholding can preserve high frequency details as well as reduce the size of images. Since it takes long time to perform existing software dynamic thresholding in an embedded system, this paper proposes and implements a circuit by using a FPGA in order to perform a real-time dynamic thresholding,. The proposed circuit consists of two counters, and threshold look-up table, and control unit. The values of two counters determine each pixel position, the threshold look-up table converts each pixel value into other value, and the control unit generates necessary control signals. On arriving from a camera to the proposed circuit, each pixel is compared with its threshold value and is converted into other gray value. An image processing system by using the proposed circuit will be implemented and some experiments will be performed.

Land cover and land use classification on a huge scale, e.g. national or continental scale, has become more and more important because environmental researches need land cover: And land use data on such scales. We developed a crop field extraction method, which is one of the steps in our land cover classification system for a huge area. Firstly, a crop field model is defined to characterize "crop field" in terms of NDVI value and textual information Textual information is represented by the density of straight lines which are extracted by wavelet transform. Secondly, candidates of NDVI threshold value are determined by "scale-space filtering" method. The most appropriate threshold value among the candidates is determined by evaluating the line density of the area extracted by the threshold value. Finally, the crop field is extracted by applying level slicing to Landsat TM image with the threshold value determined above. The experiment demonstrates that the extracted area by this method coincides very well with the one extracted by visual interpretation.

It should be noted that the critical chloride threshold level is not considered to be a unique value for all conditions. This value is dependent on concrete mixture proportions, cement type and constituents, presence of admixtures, environmental factors, steel reinforcement surface conditions, and other factors. In this study, the accelerated corrosion test for reinforcing steel was conducted by electrochemical and sea water-circulated method, respectively and during the test, corrosion monitoring by half cell potential method was carried out to estimate the critical chloride threshold value when corrosion for reinforcing steel in concrete was perceived. For this purpose, lollypop and beam test specimens were made for $31.4\%,\;41.5\%\;and\;49.7\%$ of w/c. respectively and then the accelerated corrosion test for reinforcing steel was executed. It was observed from the test that the time to initiation of corrosion was found to be different with water-cement ratio and the critical chloride threshold value was found to range from 0.91 to $1.27kg/m^3$.

이 논문에서는 DS/SS(Direct Sequence Spread/Spectrum) 시스템에서 초기동기(aquisition)를 위해, 정합 필터의 출력중 부정합된 최대 상관값을 임계값(threshold)으로 결정하는 TDMMC(Threshold Decision from the Maximum Mismatching Correlation value) 알고리듬을 제안한다. PN코드는 주기성과 정합됐을 때의 상관값이 정합되지 않을 때의 상관값보다 크다는 성질을 가지고 있다. 기존의 방식은 위의 2가지 성질 중에서 후자에 기반을 두고 있는 반면, TDMMC는 위의 성질 둘 모두에 기반을 두고 있다. TDMMC의 궁극적인 목적은 수신기에서 신호 검파확률를 1에 가깝게 하는데 있다(Pd$\longrightarrow$1). TDMMC는 임계값 블록(threshold block)을 이용하여 S/N이 변함에 따라 적절한 임계값을 설정할 수 있다. 시뮬레이션 결과, 비동기식 DS/SS-CSK 시스템에 적용된 TDMMC는 기존의 방식에 비해 성능이 향상됨을 보여준다.

컷 검출은 내용기반 검색에 필요한 인덱싱을 위해 수행되어야 하는 기초 작업으로 이를 위한 매우 다양한 기법들이 제안된바 있다. 그러나 기존의 연구에서는 대부분 고정된 하나의 임계값을 사용하기 때문에 통영상의 종류나 내용에 따라 최적의 임계값을 정해야만 하는 문제점을 갖는다. 본 논문에서는 컷 검출 간격의 확률적인 분포에 따라 임계값을 조절하며 컷이 발생하면 이전 컷과의 간격과 특징값 차이를 다음 컷 검출을 위한 임계값 설정에 반영하는 가변형 동적 임계값 방법을 제안한다. 이를 위해 임계값 조절에 필요한 인자 값들을 실행시간에 구하는 방법과 이를 사용한 컷 검출 알고리즘을 제시한다. 또한 실험을 통해 제안하는 방법이 기존의 방법에 비해 오 검출율을 줄일 수 있어 효율적임을 보인다.

이동 객체 추적 시스템을 위한 한 연구 분야로 차영상을 이용하여 움직임을 추정하는 기법이 있다. 움직임 추정을 위해 차영상을 이용하는 경우 임계값을 적용하여 배경 영역과 이동 객체 영역을 구분할 수 있도록 이진화를 수행하는 과정이 필수적이다. 본 논문에서는 차영상에서 배경과 객체의 특성 변화에 적응적인 임계값 결정 기법을 제안하였다. 제안 기법은 차영상의 히스토그램 모양을 분석하여 적절한 임계값을 결정하도록 하였다. 그레이 스케일 영상의 이진화에 사용되는 일반적인 임계값 기법들과 성능을 비교 평가하였다. 60개의 실험 영상에 대해 평가한 결과 제안 기법이 수작업으로 확인한 최적의 임계값과 평균 오차 2.8로 성능의 우수성을 확인하였다.

In the stagewise arithmetic orthogonal matching pursuit algorithm, the weak threshold used in sparsity estimation is determined via maximum iterations. Different maximum iterations correspond to different thresholds and affect the performance of the algorithm. To solve this problem, we propose an improved variable weak threshold based on the stagewise arithmetic orthogonal matching pursuit algorithm. Our proposed algorithm uses the residual error value to control the weak threshold. When the residual value decreases, the threshold value continuously increases, so that the atoms contained in the atomic set are closer to the real sparsity value, making it possible to improve the reconstruction accuracy. In addition, we improved the generalized Jaccard coefficient in order to replace the inner product method that is used in the stagewise arithmetic orthogonal matching pursuit algorithm. Our proposed algorithm uses the covariance to replace the joint expectation for two variables based on the generalized Jaccard coefficient. The improved generalized Jaccard coefficient can be used to generate a more accurate calculation of the correlation between the measurement matrixes. In addition, the residual is more accurate, which can reduce the possibility of selecting the wrong atoms. We demonstrate using simulations that the proposed algorithm produces a better reconstruction result in the reconstruction of a one-dimensional signal and two-dimensional image signal.
