The process of extracting external boundary of an object is a very important process for recognizing an object in the image. The proposed extraction method consists of two processes: External Boundary Extraction and Thinning. In the first step, external boundary extraction process separates the region representing the object in the input image. Then, only the pixels adjacent to the background are selected among the pixels constituting the object to construct an outline of the object. The second step, thinning process, simplifies the outline of an object by eliminating unnecessary pixels by examining positions and interconnection relations between the pixels constituting the outline of the object obtained in the previous extraction process. As a result, the simplified external boundary of object results in a higher recognition rate in the next step, the object recognition process.

In this research, rule and neuro net based boundary extraction algorithm was developed. Extracting boundary of the interest, lean tissue, is essential for the quality evaluation of the beef based on color machine vision. Major quality features of the beef are size, marveling state of the lean tissue, color of the fat, and thickness of back fat. To evaluate the beef quality, extracting of loin parts from the sectional image of beef rib is crucial and the first step. Since its boundary is not clear and very difficult to trace, neural network model was developed to isolate loin parts from the entire image input. At the stage of training network, normalized color image data was used. Model reference of boundary was determined by binary feature extraction algorithm using R(red) channel. And 100 sub-images(selected from maximum extended boundary rectangle 11${\times}$11 masks) were used as training data set. Each mask has information on the curvature of boundary. The basic rule in boundary extraction is the adaptation of the known curvature of the boundary. The structured model reference and neural net based boundary extraction algorithm was developed and implemented to the beef image and results were analyzed.

본 논문에서는 이진 영상에서 경계에 발생하는 잡영을 효율적으로 제거하고 형상을 단순화시켜 윤곽선을 추출할 수 있는 방법을 제안하였다. 제안된 방법은 이진 영상에서 영역의 윤곽선을 구하는 기존의 $2{times}2$ 마스크 사용 방법을 일부 수정하여 한 픽셀 두께의 잡영을 효율적으로 제거할 수 있도록 하였다. 이를 위해 영역 경계의 잡영에서는 윤곽선 추적 경로가 중복되는 특성과 잡영의 끝점에서의 추적 특성을 분석하여 이용하였다. 또한 흰색 바탕을 윤곽선 추출에 활용함으로써 본래의 형상을 유지하며 효과적으로 단순화된 윤곽선 추출 결과를 얻을 수 있도록 하였다. 제안된 방법은 다양한 실험을 통해 그 효용성을 확인하였다.

In this paper, We proposed an algorithm which extraction iris region from 2D image. Our method is composed of three parts : internal boundary defection and external boundary detection. Since eyelid and eyelash cover part of the boundary and the size of iris changes continuously, it is difficult to extract iris region accurately. For the interior and exterior boundary detection, we used partial differentiation of histogram. Performance of the proposed algorithm is tested and evaluated using 360 iris image samples.

고해상도 컬러항공영상은 공간정보생성을 위한 지형의 상세한 정량적 및 정성적 정보를 제공해준다. 하지만 도심지역에서 빌딩 또는 숲에 의한 그림자의 발생으로 인하여 지물 추출 및 분류시 부정확한 결과를 초래 시킬 수 있다. 현재까지 그림자 효과에 대한 여러 연구가 이뤄졌으나 도심지에서 그림자의 발생으로 야기된 분광정보 왜곡의 문제점을 해결하여 도로추출에 대한 연구가 매우 부족한 실정이다 본 연구에서는 컬러항공사진과 LIDAR(LIght Detection and Ranging) 고도 자료를 이용하여 아스팔트 도로 경계선을 추출하는 기법을 제안하였다. 구체적으로 그림자 영향의 제거를 통한 아스팔트 도로 경계선의 추출과정은 다음과 같다. 첫 번째, 항공사진에서 그림자 영역을 LIDAR자료부터 생성된 DSM(Digital Surface Model)과 태양각으로부터 추출하였다. 그 후 도로영역추출기법, 경계선 검출기법을 통하여 도로의 경계를 추출하였으며 이 자료를 벡터화하므로서 GIS벡터의 선분 자료로 생성하였다. 본 연구의 실험결과 제안된 방법은 그림자의 영향을 소거하여 원활한 아스팔트 도로의 경계를 추출하는데 있어서 효과적임을 알 수 있었다.

This study presents an approach for extracting boundaries of various buildings, which have concave boundaries, inner yards, non-right-angled corners, and nonlinear edges. The approach comprises four steps: building point segmentation, boundary tracing, boundary grouping, and regularization. In the second and third steps, conventional algorithms are improved for more accurate boundary extraction, and in the final step, a new algorithm is presented to extract nonlinear edges. The unique characteristics of airborne light detection and ranging (LIDAR) data are considered in some steps. The performance and practicality of the presented algorithm were evaluated for buildings of various shapes, and the average omission and commission error of building polygon areas were 0.038 and 0.033, respectively.

An image retrieval system is a piece of software that searches identical or similar images based on various image-specific features. This paper proposes a trademark image retrieval system that uses image colors and forms. In the proposed system, input images are segmented into several other regions, and color distribution histograms for different regions are extracted for use as color information. The proposed system uses form information through the preprocessing process such as boundary surface extraction, centroid extraction, angular sampling and, and through calculating the sums of the distances between the centroid and the boundary surfaces, standard deviations, and the ratios between long and short axes. Like this, the color and form information extracted is used to perform retrieval through measuring similarity.

In infrared (IR) images, near targets have a transient distribution at the boundary region, as opposed to a steady one at the inner region. Based on this fact, this paper proposes a novel IR target extraction method that uses both a weighted information entropy (WIE) and an adaptive opening filter to extract near finely shaped targets in IR images. Firstly, the boundary region of a target is detected using a local variance WIE of an original image. Next, a coarse target region is estimated via a labeling process used on the boundary region of the target. From the estimated coarse target region, a fine target shape is extracted by means of an opening filter having an adaptive structure element. The size of the structure element is decided in accordance with the width information of the target boundary and mean WIE values of windows of varying size. Our experimental results show that the proposed method obtains a better extraction performance than existing algorithms.

At a time when the demand for drones is increasing, a plan to utilize drone images was sought for efficient promotion of cadastral resurvey. To achieve the purpose of this study, the technical and legal status of drone images was reviewed, and through this, the possibility of using it for cadastral resurvey was primarily reviewed. subsequently, an experiment was conducted targeting the project district to examine whether drone images were applied to boundary extraction, which is the primary process of cadastral resurvey. As a result of the experiment, it was found that boundary extraction from images is possible. However, in some cases, it is impossible due to field conditions or image quality. Therefore, it is necessary first to apply cases where boundary extraction is possible to cadastral resurvey and seek solutions for some impossible cases. In particular, the image quality problem may have problems with the current technology, but it will also have problems with the existing drone equipment. So, standard for drone calibration should also be established. Finally, the cadastral resurvey surveying procedure using drones was also presented

A compact array system of small buoys is used for wave energy extraction. To evaluate the performance of this system, hydrodynamic analysis is carried out in regular waves using the higher order boundary element method. The motion response of each buoy is calculated considering hydrodynamic interactions caused by other buoys. The effect of energy extraction device is modeled as a linear damping load. The efficiencies of energy conversion are compared using the various sizes and arrangements of the array system and the damping coefficients for energy extraction. The increase in size or the packing ratio of the system gives better efficiency. However, the wave condition and the cost for the system should be considered to optimize performance from the perspective of engineering and economics. The proposed nondimensionalized damping coefficient for energy extraction is 0.1~0.5.
