This paper proposes a new automatic detection method to inspect mura defects on display film surface using morphological image processing and labeling. This automatic detection method for mura defects on display films comprises 3 phases of preprocessing with morphological image processing, Gabor filtering, and labeling. Since distorted results could be obtained with the presence of non-uniform illumination, preprocessing step reduces illumination components using morphological image processing. In Gabor filtering, mura images are created with binary coded mura components using Gabor filters. Subsequently, labeling is a final phase of finding the mura defect area using the difference between large mura defects and values in the periphery. To evaluate the accuracy of the proposed detection method, detection rate was assessed by applying the method in 200 display film samples. As a result, the detection rate was high at about 95.5%. Moreover, the study was able to acquire reliable results using the Semu index for luminance mura in image quality inspection.

Mathematical morphology skeleton image processing makes many partial skeleton image planes from an original binary image. And the original binary image can be reconstructed without any distortion by summing the first partial skeleton image plane and each dilated partial skeleton image planes using the same structuring element. Especially compression effects of Elias coding to the morphological globally minimal skeleton(GMS) image, is better than that of PCX and Huffman coding. And then this paper proposes mathematical morphological GMS image processing which can be applied to a binary image transmitting for facimile and big size(bigger than $64{\times}64$ size) bitmap fonts storing in a memory.

After detecting the edge which is applying the morphological operators to the hybrid FCNN, we could analyze and compare. The hybrid FCNN is completely removed to the noise in the image, and worked in order to obtain the result image which is closest to the original image. Also, the morphological operator is applied to the image as the method in order to detect more good the edge than the conventional edge. FCNN which is the pipeline type is completely suitable to detecting the image processing as well as the hardware size. In this paper. we would make the structure elements of the morphological operator the variable template and the static template, and compare with the edge enhancement of two images. After being the result which is applying the variable template morphological operator and the static template morphological operator to the image, we could know that the edge images applying the variable template is superior in a edge enhancement side.

This study was one of a series of studies on application of machine vision and image processing to extract the geometrical features of plants and to analyze plant growth. Several algorithms were developed to measure morphological properties of plants and describing the growth development of in-situ lettuce(Lactuca sativa L.). Canopy, centroid, leaf density and fractal dimension of plant were measured from a top viewed binary image. It was capable of identifying plants by a thinning top viewed image. Overlapping the thinning side viewed image with a side viewed binary image of plant was very effective to auto-detect meaningful nodes associated with canopy components such as stem, branch, petiole and leaf. And, plant height, stem diameter, number and angle of branches, and internode length and so on were analyzed by using meaningful nodes extracted from overlapped side viewed images. Canopy, leaf density and fractal dimension showed high relation with fresh weight or growth pattern of in-situ lettuces. It was concluded that machine vision system and image processing techniques are very useful in extracting geometrical features and monitoring plant growth, although interactive methods, for some applications, were required.

Mathematical morphology는 이론적 배경으로 신호 및 시스템의 기하학적 특성을 해석하는데 우수하고 잡음이 섞인 데이터를 고르기에 있어서 매우 성공적으로 적용되고 있다. 본 논문에서는 morphological필터의 하드웨어 구현은 같은 회로에서 gray scale dilation과 erosion을 수행하여 최소값과 최대값을 선택하도록 함으로써 회로의 복잡성을 줄이고 병렬처리가 가능하도록 하였다. Morphological filter의 구조는 structuring element블록, 이미지 데이타 블록, 제어 블록, ADD 블록, MIN/MAX블록으로 구성되고 실시간 처리가 가능하도록 하드웨어를 설계, one chip화 한다.

본 논문에서는 TFT-LCD 편광필름의 결함을 검출하기 위한 새로운 영상처리기법을 제안한다. 레이저 반사광을 이용하여 획득한 편광필름 영상에서 우선 배경잡음을 제거하기 위하여 형태론적 영상처리기법(열림, 닫힘)을 사용한다. 배경잡음이 제거된 영상으로부터 결함을 검출하기 위하여 2차원 LMS 적응 예측기를 사용하여 밝은 결함을 검출하고 통계적 특성을 이용하여 어두운 결함을 검출한다. 산업현장에서 제공된 TFT-LCD 편광필름을 사용하여 제안된 기법의 성능을 평가한다.

Recently, there have been researches to automate processing and analysing images in the medical field using image processing technique, a fast communication network, and high performance hardware. In this paper, we propose a system to be able to analyze morphological abnormality of red-blood cells for peripheral blood image using image processing techniques. To do this, we segment red-blood cells in the blood image acquired from microscope with CCD camera and then extract UNL fourier features to classify them into 15 classes. We reduce the number of multi-variate features using PCA to construct a more efficient classifier. Our system has the best performance in recognition rate, compared with two other algorithms, LVQ3 and k-NN. So, we show that it can be applied to a pathological guided system.

이 연구에서는 형태학적 연산(Morphological Operator)과 CNN (Convolutional Neural Networks)의 개념을 결합하여 이미지 변환을 개선하고자 한다. 이를 위해서 형태학적 연산을 근사할 수 있는 연산을 제안한다. 그리고 제안한 연산을 CNN처럼 여러 필터를 사용할 수 있게 확장한 S-Convolution을 제안한다. 실험 결과 제안한 연산은 형태학적 연산을 학습할 수 있었다. 그리고 제안한 연산의 이미지 변환 성능을 검증하기 위해 GAN에 적용하여 실험하였다. 그 결과 S-Convolution이 기존 CNN을 사용한 GAN과 다른 변환이 가능하다는 것을 볼 수 있었다.

In this paper, we present an improved multi-scale gradient algorithm. The proposed algorithm works the effectively handling of both step and blurred edges. In the proposed algorithm, the image sharpening operator is sharpening the edges and contours of the objects. This operation gives an opportunity to get noise reduced image and step edged image. After that, multi-scale gradient operator works on noise reduced image in order to get a gradient image. The gradient image is segmented by watershed transform. The approach of region merging is used after watershed transform. The region merging is carried out according to the region area and region homogeneity. The region number of the proposed algorithm is 36% shorter than that of the existing algorithm because the proposed algorithm produces a few irrelevant regions. Moreover, the computational time of the proposed algorithm is relatively fast in comparison with the existing one.

컬러 이미지는 Gray Scale 이미지와는 달리 3가지 채널의 조합으로 이루어지고 방대한 정보량 때문에 효과적인 이미지 분할이 어렵다. 본 논문에서는 범용성 있는 Color Morphological Pyramids(CMP)구조를 제안하고, 그를 이용한 이미지 분할을 보인다. 이미지 피라미드 구조는 최초 이미지의 반복적인 필터링과 샘플링에 의해 면적비가 $2^{\int}({\int}=1,2,....,N)$이 되는 순차적 이미지 계열이다. 본 방법에서는 CMP를 이용하여 RGB, HSI, CMY 등의 컬러 공간에서 연속적인 필터링 처리로 불필요한 크기의 물체 및 잡음을 제거하고, 다운샘플링과정으로 해상도를 낮춰준다. 생성된 CMP에서 인접 레벨 이미지간에는 이웃한 픽셀 벡터간의 상대거리를 이용한 연결식을 사용하여 새 레벨의 이미지를 생성한 후 이를 이미지 분할한다. 이미지 분할실험을 통하여 본 방법의 유효성을 검증한다.
