In this paper, a new target extraction algorithm is proposed, in which the coordinates of target are obtained adaptively by using the difference image information and the optical BPEJTC(binary phase extraction joint transform correlator) with which the target object can be segmented from the input image and background noises are removed in the stereo vision system. First, the proposed algorithm extracts the target object by removing the background noises through the difference image information of the sequential left images and then controlls the pan/tilt and convergence angle of the stereo camera by using the coordinates of the target position obtained from the optical BPEJTC between the extracted target image and the input image. From some experimental results, it is found that the proposed algorithm can extract the target object from the input image with background noises and then, effectively track the target object in real time. Finally, a possibility of implementation of the adaptive stereo object tracking system by using the proposed algorithm is also suggested.

In multi-dimensional image, ICA-based feature extraction algorithm, which is proposed in this paper, is for the purpose of detecting target feature about pixel assumed as a linear mixed spectrum sphere, which is consisted of each different type of material object (target feature and background feature) in spectrum sphere of reflectance of each pixel. Landsat ETM+ satellite image is consisted of multi-dimensional data structure and, there is target feature, which is purposed to extract and various background image is mixed. In this paper, in order to eliminate background features (tidal flat, seawater and etc) around target feature (laver farm) effectively, pixel spectrum sphere of target feature is projected onto the orthogonal spectrum sphere of background feature. The rest amount of spectrum sphere of target feature in the pixel can be presumed to remove spectrum sphere of background feature. In order to make sure the excellence of feature extraction method based on ICA, which is proposed in this paper, laver farm feature extraction from Landsat ETM+ satellite image is applied. Also, In the side of feature extraction accuracy and the noise level, which is still remaining not to remove after feature extraction, we have conducted a comparing test with traditionally most popular method, maximum-likelihood. As a consequence, the proposed method from this paper can effectively eliminate background features around mixed spectrum sphere to extract target feature. So, we found that it had excellent detection efficiency.

배경 제거는 동영상에서 변화를 감지하는 컴퓨터 비전 및 이미지 처리의 주요 작업이다. 최상의 성능을 가지는 배경 제거 방법은 일반적인 컴퓨팅 환경에서 실시간으로 사용할 수 없을 만큼 계산량이 많다. 제안하는 알고리즘은 널리 사용되는 MOG 기반의 배경 제거 알고리즘을 이미지 크기 조정 알고리즘으로 개선했다. 제안된 이미지 크기 조정 알고리즘은 계산량을 대폭 감소시키고 지역 정보를 활용하도록 설계해 카메라 잡음에 강력하다. 제안된 알고리즘의 실험결과는 최신 배경 제거 방법에 근접하는 분류능력과 13배 이상 빠른 처리 속도를 가진다.

This paper is to propose image segmentation method based on chamfer algorithm. First, we get original image from CCD camera and transform it into gray image. Second, we extract maximum gray value of background and reconstruct and eliminate the background using surface fitting method and bilinear interpolation. Third, we subtract the reconstructed background from gray image to remove noises in gray image. Fourth, we transform the subtracted image into binary image using Otsu's optimal thresholding method. Fifth, we use morphological filters such as areaopen, opening, filling filter etc. to remove noises and isolated points. Sixth, we use chamfer distance or Euclidean distance to this filtered image. Finally, we use watershed algorithm and count microorganisms in image by labeling. To prove the effectiveness, we apply the proposed algorithm to one of Ammonia-oxidizing bacteria, Acinetobacter sp. It is shown that both Euclidean algorithm and chamfer algorithm show over-segmentation. But Chamfer algorithm shows less over-segmentation than Euclidean algorithm.

본 논문에서는 카메라 회전에 의한 배경의 왜곡이 존재하는 환경에서 조명변화와 대상물체의 흔들림에도 강건한 에지 세그먼트 정합을 통한 이동물체 자동 검출방법을 제안한다. 이동물체 검출을 위한 기존의 연구는 카메라가 고정되어 있는 환경을 대상으로 한 연구가 주를 이루지만 응용분야의 확대로 카메라를 회전함으로써 하나의 카메라로 보다 넓은 영역을 커버할 수 있는 시스템에 대한 요구가 커지고 있다. 본 연구에서는 왜곡이 적은 에지세그먼트 기반 배경 파노라마 영상 생성 방안, 왜곡이 포함된 파노라마 영상에서 신속하게 현재 영상의 배경에지영상을 추출할 수 있는 에지특징 기반 GHT를 이용한 배경영상생성 방안, 시점의 차이와 왜곡을 극복하고 신뢰성 있게 이동 에지 세그먼트를 추출할 수 있는 에지 정합방안을 제안한다. 실험결과 제안한 방법은 조명 변화와 카메라의 흔들림에도 정확한 이동물체 검출이 가능함이 입증되었다.

Many motion object detection algorithms rely on the process of background subtraction, an important technique that is used for detecting changes from a model of the background scene. This paper propose a novel method to update the background model image of a visual surveillance system which is not stationary. In order to do this, we use a background model based on statistical qualities of monitored images and another background model that excluded motions. By comparing each changed area computed from the two background model images and current monitored image, the areas that will be updated are decided.

This paper proposes a detection algorithm for view reversal in a stereoscopic video using a disparity map and motion vector field. We obtain the disparity map of a stereo image was obtained using a specific stereo matching algorithm and classify the image into the foreground and background. Next, the motion vector field of the image on a block basis was produced using a full search algorithm. Finally, the stereo image was considered to be reversed when the foreground moved toward the background and the covered region was in the foreground. The proposed algorithm achieved a good detection rate when the background was covered sufficiently by its moving foreground.

This paper presents an automatic inspection of defects in semiconductor images. We devise a statistical method to find defects on homogeneous background from the observation that it has a log-normal distribution. If computer aided design (CAD) data is available, we use it to construct a signed distance function (SDF) and change the pixel values so that the average of pixel values along the level curve of the SDF is zero, so that the image has a homogeneous background. In the absence of CAD data, we devise a hybrid method consisting of a model-based algorithm and two neural networks. The model-based algorithm uses the first right singular vector to determine whether the image has a linear or complex structure. For an image with a linear structure, we remove the structure using the rank 1 approximation so that it has a homogeneous background. An image with a complex structure is inspected by two neural networks. We provide results of numerical experiments for the proposed methods.

The purpose of this study was to investigate visual evaluation according to various methods of motif presentation and the value contrast between the motif and background. The instruments developed for this purpose were two sets of stimuli and a response scale. the first set consisted of pattern stimuli. they were eight photographs of floral patterns constructed by using six different motif presentation methods and two different value contrasts. The second set had eight clothing stimuli, photographs of clothings with the above floral patterns. The 7-point sementic differential scale of 19 bipolar adjectives was used as the response scale. The data was analyzed by factor analysis, ANOVA and T-test. The major findings from this study were as follows; 1. Four factors emerged to account for the dimensional structure of the floral pattern image. These factors were attractiveness, tenderness, attention, and maturity. among them attractiveness and tenderness were the major dimensions 2. The patterns and the clothings had no significant difference from each other in terms of attractiveness and tenderness, but in terms of maturity and attention. The pattern presented a cute and sober image, but the clothing presented mature and gorgeous image. 3. methods of motif presentation had significant effects on all the factors. The pattern by shading method gave the most attractive and soft image, the one by line the most soberest, the one by area the most gorgeous, the one by collage the most unattractive, hardest, and cutest, and the one by mosaics the maturest. 4. The value contrast between the motif and background had no significant effects on attractiveness and maturity, but on tenderness and attention. The patterns with a high valued background presented a soft image, but the one with a low valued background a hard image. The patterns with a low valued area presented gorgeous image.

지문이미지에서 특징점 추출 및 매칭을 위해서 지문영역과 배경을 분리 하여야 한다. 지문영역과 배경을 분리하기 위해서 Sobel 마스크를 이용해 x축 y축의 자기의 편차와 분산을 계산해서 문턱치보다 적은 값을 분리하게 된다. 하지만 이러한 방법만으로는 지문영역과 배경이 두 영역으로 정확히 분리되기 어려우며, 이러한 결과는 지문인식에 영향을 주게 된다. 본 논문에서는 지문 이미지에서 배경을 효율적으로 분리하기 위해 RLC(Run Length Connectivity)를 이용하는 방법을 제시하였다. 제시된 방법은 지문 이미지의 분산을 계산하고 문턱치를 적용하여 이진 이미지를 구한다. 이 이진 이미지는 일반적으로 여러 개의 영역으로 분할된다. RLC를 고려하여 run이 작은 영역부터 차례로 반전 시켜서 최종적으로 2개의 영역으로 분리되는 이진 이미지를 구하게 된다. 또한, 실험을 통하여 제시된 알고리즘이 지문이미지에서 효율적으로 적용되어짐을 보인다.
