Retreiving indoor scene reference image from database using visual information is important issue in Robot Navigation. Scene matching problem in navigation robot is not easy because input image that is taken in navigation process is affinly distorted. We represent probabilistic framework for the feature matching between features in input image and features in database reference images to guarantee robust scene matching efficiency. By reconstructing probabilistic scene matching framework we get a higher precision than the existing feaure-feature matching scheme. To construct probabilistic framework we represent each image as Gaussian Mixture Model using Expectation Maximization algorithm using SIFT(Scale Invariant Feature Transform).

In this study, the sizes and velocities of droplets in sprays were measured by image processing method from digital images of local region of sprays. The morphological method based on the Euclidean distance transform, Watershed separation, and perimeter image was adopted for the recognition and separation of overlapped particles. The match probability method was used for the particle tracking and pairing. The measurement results show that the present method may be reliable for the analysis of the motion and distribution of droplets produced by spray and atomization devices.

In face examinations, gender classification (GC) is one of several fundamental tasks. Recent literature on GC primarily utilizes datasets containing high-resolution images of faces captured in uncontrolled real-world settings. In contrast, there have been few efforts that focus on utilizing low-resolution images of faces in GC. We propose a GC method based on a pixel classifier boosting with modified census transform features. Experiments are conducted using large datasets, such as Labeled Faces in the Wild and The Images of Groups, and standard protocols of GC communities. Experimental results show that, despite using low-resolution facial images that have a 15-pixel inter-ocular distance, the proposed method records a higher classification rate compared to current state-of-the-art GC algorithms.

This paper presents recognition of raised alphanumeric markings on rubber tires for their automatic classification. Raised alphanumeric markings on rubber tires have different characteristics as compared to those of printed characters. In the preprocessing step, we first determine the rotation angle using the Hough transform and align markings, then separate each character using vertical and horizontal projections. In the recognition step, we use several features such as width of a character, cross point, partial projection, and distance feature to recognize characters hierarchically. The computer simulation result shows that the proposed system can be successfully applied to the industrial automation of rubber tires classification.

A new algorithm using 1-dimensional wavelet transform for autofocusing of optical instrument has been developed. Previous studies based on the conventional frequency analysis have shown that as the lens-object distance approaches the optimum value, the high frequency energy in the corresponding image shows a consistent increase. However, as conventional frequency analysis techniques hide spatial distribution of each band energy, shape information in the original signal cannot be easily utilized. In this paper, a newly devised wavelet based focus measuring scheme is presented. Unlike other frequency domain analysis techniques that simply produce "frequency-only" spectra, wavelet analysis provides a "time-frequency" localized view of a given signal. As a result, both frequency band filtering and spatial distribution filtering can easily be realized. Depending on the proposed focus quality measuring algorithm, a fast and reliable automatic focus adjustment of optical devices could be implemented.

This paper presents a Daubechies wavelet-based fault detection method for fault identification in transmission lines. After the Daubechies wavelet coefficients are calculated, the proposed algorithm has been implemented difference equation using C language. We have modeled a 154kV transmission line using the ATPDraw software and have acquired test data. In order to evaluate effects of DC offset, simulations carried out while varying an inception angle of the voltage $0^{\circ}$, $45^{\circ}$, $90^{\circ}$. For performance evaluation, fault distance was varied. As we can see from the off-line simulation, the proposed algorithm shows rapid and accurate fault detection. Also we can see the proposed algorithm is not affected by the fault inception angle change.

In order to design the automatic processing system of image document, the pattern segmentation of image document and classification methods are presented. The contour extraction using first order differential operator of Gauassian distribution fucntions, the image segmentation using the chain code, and the pattern classication using the second order moments and two=dimensional Rf distance(in transform domain) are implemented. The resuts applied in specially documantated image shows to classify the characters, fingerprints, seals etc well. And the utility of the used algorithms is verified.

In this paper, visualization of Visible Human data offered by NLM(National Library of Medicine) is performed using $VTK^{TM}$. Computed Tomography Data set(axial, $587\times341\times256$, and the distance between slices 1mm) is used throughout the study. Before the actual visualization routine, 8 bit-reader class of VTK is developed to transform CT data to VTK dataset. After that, the visualization procedures are done to display 3D image on PC. VTK is freeware, not a commercial software. The results of VTK show relatively good image quality and slower processing time compared with the commercial softwares like IAP, IDL, AVS. Thus if processing time is not the critical factor, VTK is worthy to be used in visualization of the medical images.

본 논문에서는 새로운 문자 분할 알고리즘을 제안한다. 고전적인 문자 분할 알고리즘은 학술적인 문서영상과 같이 단순한 구조를 가진 문서영상을 대상으로 하여 좋은 성능을 보였지만 다양한 문자 크기와 색상, 그림, 복잡한 배경 등으로 구성된 문서영상에서는 좋지 못한 성능을 보인다. 최근에 제안고 있는 방법들은 복잡한 문서영상에서도 좋은 성능을 보이도록 다양한 기법들을 적용하여 우수한 성능을 보이고 있지만, 대부분의 방법들이 영상을 일정한 크기의 블록으로 나누어 문자분할을 하기 때문에 세밀한 부분에서는 성능이 어느 정도 한계를 보인다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 블록의 크기에 제한을 갖지 않는 새로운 방법으로서, watershed 알고리즘을 이용한 문자분할 방법을 제시한다. 구체적으로, watershed 알고리즘을 이용하여 문서영상의 구조(docstrum)를 파악하고 이를 기반으로 문자를 분할한다. 제안하는 방법은 크게 엣지 검출, distance transform, watershed 알고리즘을 이용한 docstrum 분석, 문자 분할의 네 단계를 거친다. 실험 결과 블록에 기반한 기존의 방법들이 놓치는 세밀한 부분에서도 제안된 알고리즘은 올바른 분할결과를 얻을 수 있음을 확인하였다.

XML 문서의 유사성을 비교하는 연구는 XML 문서의 저장 및 검색에 유용하기 때문에 많은 연구가 진행되었다.
