In this paper, a multi-scale local difference directional number (MLDDN) pattern is proposed for pig identification. Firstly, the color images of individual pig are converted into grey images by the most significant bits (MSB) quantization, which makes the grey values have better discrimination. Then, Gabor amplitude and phase responses on different scales are obtained by convoluting the grey images with Gabor masks. Next, by calculating the main difference of local edge directions instead of traditionally edge information, the directional numbers of Gabor amplitude and phase responses are encoded. Finally, the block histograms of the encoded images are concatenated on each scale, and the maximum pooling is adopted on different scales to avoid the high feature dimension. Experimental results on two pigsties show that MLDDN impressively outperforms the other widely used local descriptors.

The problem of tracking moving objects in a video stream is discussed in this pa-per. We discussed the popular technique of optical flow for moving object detection. Optical flow finds the velocity vectors at each pixel in the entire video scene. However, optical flow based methods require complex computations and are sensitive to noise. In this paper, we proposed a new method based on the Hough transform and on voting accumulation for improving the accuracy and reducing the computation time. Further, we applied the Boo-lean based edge detector for edge detection. Edge detection and segmentation are used to extract the moving objects in the image sequences and reduce the computation time of the CHT. The Boolean based edge detector provides accurate and very thin edges. The difference of the two edge maps with thin edges gives better localization of moving objects. The simulation results show that the proposed method improves the accuracy of finding the optical flow vectors and more accurately extracts moving objects' information. The process of edge detection and segmentation accurately find the location and areas of the real moving objects, and hence extracting moving information is very easy and accurate. The Combinatorial Hough Transform and voting accumulation based optical flow measures optical flow vectors accurately. The direction of moving objects is also accurately measured.

본 논문은 인간의 공간 지각 특성을 이용하여 에지를 강조하는 개선된 오차 확산 해프토닝 시스템을 제안한다. 제안방법은 원 화소의 명암값과 $3{\times}3$ 블록의 평균 명암값과의 차이 값에 공간적 위치 값에 따른 가중치를 결합하여 공간 변화량(SV: spatial variation)을 구한다. SV와 국부 평균을 이용하여 계산한 에지 강조 정보량(IEE: information of edge enchancement)을 양자화기 입력에 더하여 해프톤 영상의 에지를 강조한다. 제안방법의 성능은 에지 상관도 평가 함수로 평가했으며 제안방법을 영상에 적용한 결과 이진 영상의 에지가 강조되어 시각적으로 선명한 결과를 보이며 미세한 에지도 잘 보존되었다.

Increasing demands for Electric Resistance Welded pipes of high quality with thick wall require c lose investigations in edge deformation by slitting, strip deformation during break down farming, and difference of circumferential length. In order to obtain good quality of a welding zone, it is necessary to predict the edge shape of the initial strip. The modeling of the multi-pass thick tube roll forming process with rigid plastic finite element method ultra the edge shape prediction of an initial strip with 2nd-degree polynomial regression method are presented. Edge shapes of initial strip have been analyzed by the finite element method and designed by the regression method to satisfy the requirements in target fin pass. It is concluded that the proposed edge design method results in optimal edge shapes sat string the design requirements.

본 논문에서는 EBMF(Edge Based Median Filter)와 3-Step AMPDF(Adaptive Minimum Pixel Difference Filter) 기반의 움직임 적응 디인터레이싱 알고리즘을 제안 한다. 움직임 적응 방법에서 중요한 요소인 motion missing에 의한 에러를 방지하기 위해 입력 영상을 4 가지 유형으로 구분하여 각 영상에 따라 다른 임계 값을 사용하여 정확한 화소 값을 보간 하는 AMPDF를 사용하며 움직이는 대각선 에지의 효과적인 보간을 위하여 에지에 따라 가변적인 후보 픽셀을 선택하는 EBMF를 사용하여 성능을 향상시켰다. 또한 성능을 높이기 위해 입력되는 영상을 움직임 영역, 정지 영역, 경계 영역으로 나누어 적응적으로 보간 하였으며 모의 실험을 통해 기존의 방법들에 비해 성능이 우수함을 보였다.

본 논문에서는 프레임내의 정보를 이용하여 손실 블록을 복구하기 위한 공간 영역의 손실 블록 복구 방법을 제안한다. 손실 블록에 이웃하는 정확하게 수신된 블록들의 경계 화소의 차분값에 의해서 손실 블록이 에지 영역인지 평탄 영역인지를 판단하고 각각 다른 보간 방법을 적용한다. 에지 영역으로 판단되었을 경우 에지 방향을 추정하고 추정된 에지 방향에 따라 화소들 사이의 거리와 차분값을 가중치로 사용하여 적응적으로 손실 블록의 손실 화소들을 보간한다. 제안 방법은 이전 방법들에 비해 계산양은 적은 반면에 주관적 화질 비교에서 더 좋은 성능을 보이고 객관적 비교에서도 우수한 성능을 보인다.

자유단이 있는 비등방성 판의 안정성을 검토할 때, 기존의 해석적인 방법으로는 다양한 하중 조건 및 경계조건에 대해 좌굴하중 및 좌굴모드를 구할 수 없다. 이러한 단점을 해결하기 위해 수치해석 기법인 유한차분법을 사용하였다. 유한차분법을 적용할 때, 자유경계의 가상점 처리가 가장 난해하게 되므로 1변이 자유이고 3변이 고정인 경우와 마주보는 2변이 자유이고 다른 2변이 고정인 경우를 해석 모델로 삼아 좌굴해석을 수행하였다. 본 논문에서는 자유경계를 갖는 비등방성 판의 해석 기법으로 유한차분법을 제시하였으며, 다양한 수치해석을 통하여 자유경계의 좌굴하중 및 모드 특성을 규명하였다.

In this paper, variable windowing mean filter to remove speckle noise and a measure to detect thin edge in ultrasonic images are proposed. Because ultrasonic images are corrupted by speckle noise showing a granular appearance, good edge detection is difficult. As a result, noise removing filter is needed in preprocessing stage. The speckle noise removing filter is based on mean filter whose window size is changed by the ratio of standard deviation to mean for image signal and noise signal in local area. And the measure expressed the difference of means between tow windows is used for detecting thin edge in filtered image. Results show that variable windowing mean filter removes speckle noise effectively, and proposed measure is useful in detecting thin edge.

It is useful to simulate the human visual function for the purpose of image-processing. In this study, the hardware of the spatial filter with the sensitivity of lateral inhibition is realized by the combination of optical parts with electronic circuits. The diffused film with the characteristics of Gaussian type is prepared as a spatial filter. An object's image is convoluted with the spatial filter. From the difference of the convoluted images, the zero-cross position is detected at video rate. The edge of object is extracted in real-time by the use of this equipment. The resolution of edge changes with the value of the standard deviation of diffused film. In addition, it is possible to extract a directional edge selectively when the spatial filter with directional selectivity is used instead of Gaussian type of spatial filter.

1. Author has surveyed the frequency, geographic variation and micro-geographic variation of the elytral pattern types and the elytral edge of the population of lady-beetle, Harmonia axyridis Pallace which was collected in Seoul and the other 6 localities in Korea. 2. The number of specimen collected were 3.051 in which succinea occupied 88.32 % : Axyridis, 1.00% : spectabilis, 6.145 : and Conspicua , 4.545. 3. Of all 84.80% were found to have elytral edge. 4. There was a little difference in compositional proportation of the above four types to population and in the frequency of elytral edge between the population of west seaside and that of inland of Korea. 5. An interesting micro-geographic variation was observed in Dae-Chun, a beach located on west seaside of south Korea. In this locality , the Succinea occupied 45.23% and 27.805 were found to be provided with elytral edge in the specimen collected in pine trees ( Pinus thunbergii Parlatore), while in the specimen collected in burley field, oak, willow etc. 92.00% were Succinea and 90.93% were found to have elytral edge.
