  • Mini Double Gears Frame is critical part of PDP and also produces couple hundred thousand every month. In the process of mass production, product inspection is very important process. Double Gear, one of the part of machine, was inspected by human eyes which caused mistakes and slow progress. To achieve the speed and accuracy the system was compensated by vision system which is inspecting automatically. The focus value is measured based on the fact that high contrast images have much high frequency edge information. High frequency term of the image is extracted using the high-pass filter and the sum of the high frequency term is used as the focus value. We used a Gaussian smoothing filter to reduce the noise and then measures the focus value using the modified Laplacian filter called a Sum modified Laplacian Focus values for the various lens positions are calculated and the position with the maximum focus value is decided as the focused position. The focus values calculated in various lens position showed the Gaussian distribution. We proposed a method to estimate the best focus position using the Gaussian curve fitting. Focus values of the uniform interval lens positions are calculated and the values are used to estimate the Gaussian distribution parameters to find the best focus position.

  • In vocabulary recognition using HMM(Hidden Markov Model) by model for the observation of a discrete probability distribution indicates the advantages of low computational complexity, but relatively low recognition rate has the disadvantage that require sophisticated smoothing process. Gaussian mixtures in order to improve them with a continuous probability density CHMM (Continuous Hidden Markov Model) model is proposed for the optimization of the library system. In this paper is system configuration thread control in recognition Gaussian mixtures model provides a model to optimize of the CHMM vocabulary recognition. The result of applying the proposed system, the recognition rate of 98.1% in vocabulary recognition, respectively.

  • A method of estimating the pose of a three-dimensional object from a set of two-dimensioal images based on parametric eigenspace method is proposed. A Gaussian blurred edge image is used as an input image instead of the original image itself as has been used previously. The set of input images is compressed using K-L transformation. By comparing the estimation errors for the original, blurred original, edge, and blurred edge images, we show that blurring with the Gaussian function and the use of edge images enhance the data compression ratio and decrease the resulting from smoothing the trajectory in the parametric eigenspace, thereby allowing better pose estimation to be achieved than that obtainable using the original images as it is. The proposed method is shown to have improved efficiency, especially in cases with occlusion, position shift, and illumination variation. The results of the pose angle estimation show that the blurred edge image has the mean absolute errors of the pose angle in the measure of 4.09 degrees less for occlusion and 3.827 degrees less for position shift than that of the original image.

  • A new spline function for resampling discrete signal adaptively is proposed. In general, B-spline function is used for an image interpolation because of its smoothness and continuity, but accompanies a large amount of blurring effect. Hence, we developed a new spline function to remedy this effect, with two procedures ; deblurring of Gaussian blurring and diminishing of aliasing effect caused by deblurring procedure. The proposed function has a parametric expression with $\alpha$ which is related to the variance of Gaussian blurring model. Locally adaptive resampling scheme is obtained by changing a according to statistical characteristics of an image. The proposed, interpolation function shows edge-sharpening effect as well as noise smoothing, with comparison to the conventional schemes.

  • Text line segmentation is a preprocessing step in OCR, which can significantly influence the accuracy of document analysis applications. This paper proposes a novel methodology for the text line segmentation of handwritten documents. First, the average width of the connected components is used to form a 1-D Gaussian kernel and a smoothing operation is then applied to the input binary image. The adaptive binarization of the smoothed image forms the final text lines. In this work, the segmentation method involves two stages: firstly, the large connected components are labelled as a unique text line using text line area mapping. Secondly, the final refinement of the segmentation is performed using the Euclidean distance between the text line and small connected components. The group of uniquely labelled text candidates achieves promising segmentation results. The proposed approach works well on Korean and English language handwritten documents captured using a camera.

  • Though median filter is used for removing noise and smoothing image. But, the result of it has distortion around edge. And then, this paper proposes new noise removing algorithm by recursive morphological processing. Basic operation is same each other, but there is some different processing method between recursive morphology and general morphology theory. This recursive morphological filter can be viewed as the weighted order static filter, and then it has a weighted SE(structuring element). Especially using this algorithm to remove the 10% gaussian noise, this paper confirmed that PSNR is improved about 0.642~1.5757 db reserving edge well better than the results of the traditional median filter.

  • In this paper, we propose the improved noise power estimation in speech enhancement under various noise environments. The previous MS algorithm tracking the minimum value of finite search window uses the optimal power spectrum of signal for smoothing and adopts minimum probability. From the investigation of the previous MS-based methods it can be seen that a fixed size of the minimum search window is assumed regardless of the various environment. To achieve the different search window size, we use the noise classification algorithm based on the Gaussian mixture model (GMM). Performance of the proposed enhancement algorithm is evaluated by ITU-T P.862 perceptual evaluation of speech quality (PESQ) under various noise environments. Based on this, we show that the proposed algorithm yields better result compared to the conventional MS method.

  • This paper proposes a real-time method using a 3-axis accelerometer to enhance blurred images taken from a camera loaded in mobile devices. Blurring phenomenon is a smoothing effect occurring in photo images. Algorithms to cope with blurring phenomenon is essential since small-size mobile devices tremble severely by even a tiny hand-shaking of a user. In this paper, accurate sensing characteristics of the 3-axis accelerometer is acquired by applying the sensor in pendulum motion and the blurring phenomenon is modeled as a uniform distribution and Gaussian distribution. Also, non-Gaussian distributed model is observed in the experiment of real blurring phenomenon and a particular deblurring function is designed by reversing the model. It has been demonstrated that the application of trembling information to the deblurring function adequately removes the blurring phenomenon.

  • Recently, with the improvement of the performance of IoT technology and AI, automation and unmanned work are progressing in a wide range of fields, and interest in image processing, which is the basis of automation such as object recognition and object classification, is increasing. Image noise removal is an important process used as a preprocessing step in an image processing system, and various studies have been conducted. However, in most cases, it is difficult to preserve detailed information due to the smoothing effect in high-frequency components such as edges. In this paper, we propose an algorithm to restore damaged images in AWGN(additive white Gaussian noise) using fuzzy weights based on Gaussian distribution. The proposed algorithm switched the filtering process by comparing the filtering mask and the noise estimate with each other, and reconstructed the image by calculating the fuzzy weights according to the low-frequency and high-frequency components of the image.

  • In this study we propose an image denoising algorithm appropriate for mobile smart phone equipped with limited computing ability, which has better performance and at the same time comparable quality comparing with previous studies. The proposed image denoising algorithm for mobile smart phone cameras in low level light environment reduces computational complexity and also prevents edge smoothing by extracting just Gaussian noises from the noisy input image. According to the experiment result, we verified that our algorithm has much better PSNR value than methods applying mean filter or median filter. Also the result image from our algorithm has better clear quality since it preserves edges while smoothing input image. Moreover, the suggested algorithm reduces computational complexity about 52% compared to the method applying original Laplacian mask computation, and we verified that our algorithm has good denoising quality by implementing the algorithm in Android smart phone.
