The Heat Anisotropic Diffusion Method has shown very effective for the contour detection of 2-D echocardiogram. To implement this algorithm, we have to choose the parameter C, K, and the threshold level. The choice of C and K are not very sensitive for the good edge detection of the echocardiogram, however the choice of the threshold level is very critical. Until now the threshold level is chosen by the trial and error method. In this paper, we present an automatic threshold decision method from the histogram of the gradient of boundary-like pixels.

A wireless license plate region extracting module is proposed for LPR system controlling multiple gates. This module is cheaply implemented using Raspberry Pi which is open source and high performance. First, as the upper 1/3 of the captured image is discarded as it has no useful information on license plate. Using the OpenCV libraries the edge image is got by Canny algorithm after applying Gaussian filtering to gray image, and the labeling is conducted for 4 consecutive numbers in license plate. These numbers are located using various decision equations, and expanding the numbers region the final license plate region can be extracted. The result image is transferred to Server using wifi direct. Using the proposed module it becomes easy to set up and maintain the LPR system. The experimental results showed that the successful extracting rate was 98.4% using 500 car images with 640 × 480 resolution.

This paper describes the path planning method in an unknown environment for an autonomous mobile robot equipped with CCD(Charge-Coupled Device) camera. The mobile robot moves along the guideline. The CCD camera is useful to detect the existence of a guideline. The wavelet transform is used to find the edge of guideline. Using wavelet transform, we can make an image processing more easily and rapidly. We make a fuzzy control rule using image data then make a decision the position and the navigation of the mobile robot. The center value that indicates the center of guideline is the input of fuzzy logic controller and the steering angle of the mobile robot is the fuzzy output. Some actual experiments for the mobile robot applied fuzzy control show that the mobile robot effectively moves to target position.

Neural network based AI computing is a promising technology that reflects the recognition and decision operation of human beings. Early AI computing processors were composed of GPUs and CPUs; however, the dramatic increment of a floating point operation requires an energy efficient AI processor with a highly parallelized architecture. In this paper, we analyze the trends in processor architectures for AI computing. Some architectures are still composed using GPUs. However, they reduce the size of each processing unit by allowing a half precision operation, and raise the processing unit density. Other architectures concentrate on matrix multiplication, and require the construction of dedicated hardware for a fast vector operation. Finally, we propose our own inAB processor architecture and introduce domestic cutting-edge processor design capabilities.

In this paper, we proposed a post-processing technique for improving classification performance of electronic nose (E-Nose) system which may be occurred drift signals from sensor array. An adaptive radial basis function network using stochastic gradient (SG) and singular value decomposition (SVD) is applied to process signals from sensor array. Due to drift from sensor's aging and poisoning problems, the final classification results may be showed bias and fluctuations. The predicted classification results with drift are quantized to determine which identification level each class is on. To mitigate sharp fluctuations moving-averaging (MA) technique is applied to quantized identification results. Finally, quantization and some edge correction process are used to decide levels of the fluctuation-smoothed identification results. The proposed technique has been indicated that E-Nose system was shown correct odor identification results even if drift occurred in sensor array. It has been confirmed throughout the experimental works. The enhancements have produced a very robust odor identification capability which can compensate for decision errors induced from drift effects with sensor array in electronic nose system.

It is important to prevent roll failure in hot rolling process for reducing maintenance cost and production loss. The relationship between rolling pass schedule and the work roll wear profile will be presented. The roll wear pattern is related with roll catastrophic failure. The irregular and deep roll wear pattern should be removed by On-line Roll Grinder(ORG) for roll failure prevention. In this study, a computer roll wear prediction model under real process working condition is developed and evaluated with hot rolling pass schedule. The method of building wear calculation functions for center portion abrasion and marginal abrasion respectively was used to develop a work roll wear prediction mathematical model. The three type rolling schedule are evaluated by wear prediction model. The optimum roll grinding methods is suggested for schedule tree rolling technique.

This paper addresses the problem of vision-based mask filter inspection for mask production systems. Machine learning-based approaches can be considered to solve the problem, but they may not be applicable to mask filter inspection if normal and anomaly mask filter data are not sufficient. In such cases, handcrafted image processing methods have to be considered to solve the problem. In this paper, we propose a hierarchical correlation-based approach that combines handcrafted image processing methods to detect anomaly mask filters. The proposed approach combines image rotation, cropping and resizing, edge detection of mask filter parts, average blurring, and correlation-based decision. The proposed approach was tested and analyzed with real mask filters. The results showed that the proposed approach was able to successfully detect anomalies in mask filters.

Digital dentistry has witnessed significant advancements in recent years, driven by extensive research following the introduction of cutting-edge technologies such as CAD/CAM and 3D oral scanners. Until now, 2D images obtained via x-ray or CT scans were critical to detect anomalies and for decision-making. This review describes the main principles and applications of supervised, unsupervised, and reinforcement learning in medical applications. In this context, we present a diverse range of artificial intelligence networks with potential applications in dentistry, accompanied by existing results in the field.

In this paper, Power fuzzy graphs is newly introduced by allotting fuzzy values on power graphs in such a way that the newly added edges, has the edge membership values between a closed interval which depends on vertex membership values and the length of the added edges. Power fuzzy subgraphs and total power fuzzy graphs are newly defined with properties and some special cases. It is observed that every power fuzzy graph is a fuzzy graph but the converse need not be true. Edges that are incident to vertices with the least vertex membership values are retained in the least power fuzzy subgraph. Further, the application of these concepts in real life time has been presented and discussed using power fuzzy graph model.

Recently, further study is being done on the affect of crack on concrete structure and many people have made every endeavor not to leave it unsettled but to minimize it by repair works. In this paper we propose the image processing method that do not remain manual but automatically process the length, the direction and e width of cracks on concrete surface. First, we calibrate light's affect from image by using closing operation, one of morphology methods that can extract the feature of oracle and we extract the edge of crack image by sobel mask. After it, crack image is binarized by iteration binarization. And we extract the edge of cracks using noise elimination method that use an average of adjacent pixels by 3${\times}$3 mask and Glassfire Labeling algorithm. on, in this paper we propose an image processing method which can automatically measure the length, the direction and the width of cracks using the extracted edges of cracks. The results of experiment showed that the proposed method works better on the extraction of concrete cracks. Also our method showed the possibility that inspector's decision is unnecessary.
