Real-time image processing algorithms to detect position and orientation of rectangular type electronic components are developed. The position detection algorithm is implemented with the use of projection method which is insensitive to noise. Also dynamic thresholding method of projection is employed in order to distinguish between the boundary of a component and any marking on the component. The orientation is determined by Hough transform of boundary candidates of a component, which is obtained a priori by a simple edge detection method. For real-time processing of both position and orientation for a component which is not aligned well, parallel processing method of image data is proposed and tested in real-time.

The effects of electrolysis conditions on the composition and preferred orientation of Ni-Fe alloy were studied using the sulfate-chloride baths paddle agitated. Cathode current efficiency is higher in the deposits from bath 2 than that of deposits from bath 1. The Fe content of alloy deposits from bath 2 is nearly constant(19∼21wt.%) in the wide range of current density, while it decreases noticeably with current density in the deposits from bath 1. The variation of Fe content at the edge of specimen is lower in deposits from bath 2 than those from bath 1. The alloy deposits show (111) & (200) preferred orientation for the deposits from bath 1 and bath 2 respectively.

In this paper, we popose a neural network that detects edges of moving objects in an image using a neural network of hierarchical spatial filter with orientation selectivity. We modify the temporal difference network by adding a self loop to each neuraon cell to reduce the problems of phantom edge detected by the neural network proposed by kwon yool et al.. The modified neural network alleviates the phantom edges of moving objects, and also can detect edges of miving objects even for the noisy input. By computer simulation with real images, the proposed neural netowrk can extract edges of different orientation efficiently and also can reduce the phantom edges of moving objects.

Although there are a lot of primary factors to be able to make characters and identities in Pusan South Harbor, Badly Planned development prevented enhancing the sense of place in urban waterfront. The point in the waterfront development is how to secure amenities based on indentity and orientation; node, landmark, edge, path, district. This study aims at developing waterfront area of Pusan South Harbor and attempting to establish an identity through studying characteristics of ‘places’ in Pusan South Harbor. The place consists of two elements; orientation and identity, which can be explained the environmental totality, ‘character’ and ‘space’ respectively. The urban waterfront has strong characteristics which consists of land area, water area, and transit zone combining two areas. The place of Pusan South Harbor is analysed those four elements. We proposed objectives and criteria which can be used in enhancing the sense of this place.

An algorithm for estimating the lane departure of a vehicle is derived and implemented based on an EDF(edge distribution function) obtained from gray-level images taken by a CCD camera mounted on a vehicle. As the function of edge direction, the EDF is aimed to show the distribution of edge direction and to estimate the possibility of lane departure with respect to its symmetric axis and local mamma. The EDF plays important roles: 1) It reduces noisy effects caused by dynamic road scene. 2) It makes possible lane identification without camera modeling. 3) It also leads LDW(lane departure warning) problem to a mathematical approach. When the situations of lane departure such that the vehicle approaches to lane marks or runs in the vicinity of the lane marks are occurred, the orientation of lane marks in images is changed, and then the situations are immediately reflected to the EDF. Accordingly, the lane departure is estimated by studying the shape of the EDF. The proposed EDF-based algorithm enhanced the adaptability to cope with the random and dynamic road environments, and eventually led to the reliable LDW system.

This paper presents a new descriptor, named Histograms of Prominent Edge Directions (HPED), for the recognition of facial expressions in a person-independent environment. In this paper, we raise the issue of sampling error in generating the code-histogram from spatial regions of the face image, as observed in the existing descriptors. HPED describes facial appearance changes based on the statistical distribution of the top two prominent edge directions (i.e., primary and secondary direction) captured over small spatial regions of the face. Compared to existing descriptors, HPED uses a smaller number of code-bins to describe the spatial regions, which helps avoid sampling error despite having fewer samples while preserving the valuable spatial information. In contrast to the existing Histogram of Oriented Gradients (HOG) that uses the histogram of the primary edge direction (i.e., gradient orientation) only, we additionally consider the histogram of the secondary edge direction, which provides more meaningful shape information related to the local texture. Experiments on popular facial expression datasets demonstrate the superior performance of the proposed HPED against existing descriptors in a person-independent environment.

This paper proposes a new fast algorithm that detects the lanes on the road using Moore-Neighbor edge trace algorithm, which traces the edge elements by searching the connectivity in eight direction window. The detected line components are connected if they have the same orientation on the same line. The proposed algorithm is faster than other conventional algorithms since it tests only the connectivities of the line segments. The performance of the proposed algorithm has tested by the experiments to test how fast and accurate.

A new indoor mobile robot localization method is presented. Robot recognizes well designed single color landmarks on the ceiling by vision system, as reference to compute its precise position. The proposed likelihood prediction based method enables the robot to estimate its position based only on the orientation of landmark.The use of single color landmarks helps to reduce the complexity of the landmark structure and makes it easily detectable. Edge based optical flow is further used to compensate for some landmark recognition error. This technique is applicable for navigation in an unlimited sized indoor space. Prediction scheme and localization algorithm are proposed, and edge based optical flow and data fusing are presented. Experimental results show that the proposed method provides accurate estimation of the robot position with a localization error within a range of 5 cm and directional error less than 4 degrees.

In cell biology area, microscopy enables detecting objects inside cells that are stained or fluorescently tagged. It is disadvantageous for observing these objects because of the noisy characteristics of their environmental surrounding. In this paper, a framework is proposed to increase the throughput and reliability for analysis of these images. First, we apply adaptive beamlet transform to extract edges meaningfully followed by orientation, location, and length in different scales. Then, a post-process is implemented to extend and map them onto original image. Our proposed scheme is compared with Canny edge detector and conventional beamlet transform from four evaluation aspects. It produces better results when experiments are conducted on real images. Much better results for observing internal parts make this framework competitive for analysis of cell images.

대용량의 다각형 표면 데이터를 효과적으로 감소시키는 많은 간략화 알고리즘들이 제안되었다. 이들 간략화 기법들은 정점, 에지, 삼각형 등과 같은 기본적인 간략화 단위에 대해 자신의 붕괴 비용함수를 적용하여 간략화 전후의 에러를 최소화 한다. 기존의 제안된 비용 함수들은 대부분 거리최적화에 기반 한 에러 측정방법을 사용한다. 그러나 기본적으로 스칼라 값인 거리요소 만으로는 현재 메쉬의 지역적인 특징을 정확히 정의하기 어렵다. 따라서 곡률이 심한 지역의 특징 정보를 유지하지 못함으로써 간략화 단계를 높일수록 원래의 세부적인 모양을 잃어버리는 단점이 있다. 본 논문에서는 표면의 방향과 같은 벡터성분을 비용함수의 요소로서 고려한다. 표면의 방향성분은 거리와 같은 스칼라 양에 비의존적이다. 따라서 작은 스칼라 양을 갖는 요소라도 이의 벡터성분의 크기에 따라 보존 여부를 재고할 수 있다. 또한 제안된 비용함수를 바탕으로 하는 반-에지 붕괴에 기반 한 간략화 알고리즘을 개발한다. 이는 객체의 제거 후에 기존 에지의 두 정점 중 하나를 이용하여 새로운 정점을 표현하는 방법으로서 저장공간 상의 이점이 있으며 대용량 표면데이터의 실시간 전송을 요하는 렌더링 시스템에 매우 효과적으로 적용될 수 있다.
