This paper proposes an effective fingerprint identification system with hardware block for thinning stage processing of a verification algorithm based on minutiae with 39% occupation of 32-bit RISC microprocessor cycle. Each step of a fingerprint algorithm is analyzed based on FPGA and ARMulator. This paper designs an effective hardware scheme for thinning stage processing using the Verilog-HDL in $160{\times}192$ pixel array. The ZS algorithm is applied for a thinning stage. The logic is also synthesized in $0.35{\mu}m$ 4-metal CMOS process. The layout is performed based on an auto placement-routing and post-simulation is performed in logic level. The result is compared with a conventional one.

This study proposes an algorithm for recognizing apple trees in images and detecting apples to measure the number of apples on the trees. The proposed algorithm explores whether there are apple trees or not based on the number of image block-unit edges, and then it detects apple areas. In order to extract colors appropriate for apple areas, the CIE $L^*a^*b^*$ color space is used. In order to extract apple characteristics strong against illumination changes, modified census transform (MCT) is used. Then, using the AdaBoost learning algorithm, characteristics data on the apples are learned and generated. With the generated data, the detection of apple areas is made. The proposed algorithm has a higher detection rate than existing pixel-based image processing algorithms and minimizes false detection.

본 연구에서는 DCT(Discrete Cosine Transform) 영역에서 불연속 특징을 검출하여 내용기반의 동적 비디오 전송을 위한 트랜스코딩 방법을 제안한다. 이 방법에 의하여 동영상 스트림 각각의 DCT블록은 내부의 대표적인 불연속의 크기에 따라 다르게 트랜스코딩되어 전송되며, 실험에서 같은 대역폭을 유지하면서 기존의 저주파 통과 필터에 의한 방법보다 내용기반 방법이 더 좋은 비디오 화질을 나타내며 픽셀 영역에서의 방법보다 처리 시간이 빠름을 나타낸다.

A method for detecting foreign substances in mould based on scatter grams was presented to protect moulds automatically during moulding production. This paper proposes a wavelet transform foreign detection method based on Monte Carlo analysis mechanism to identify foreign objects in the tube. We use the Monte Carlo method to evaluate the image, and obtain the width of the confidence interval by the deviation statistical gray histogram to divide the image type. In order to stabilize the performance of the algorithm, the high-frequency image and the low-frequency image are respectively drawn. By analyzing the position distribution of the pixel gray in the two images, the suspected foreign object region is obtained. The experiments demonstrate the effectiveness of our approach by evaluating the labeled data.

Agricultural products are easily deformable its shape because of some external forces. However, these force behavior is difficult to measure quantitatively. Until now, many researches on the mechanical property was performed with various methods such as material testing, chemical analysis and non-destructive methods. In order to investigate force behavior on the cellular unit of agricultural products, electro-microscope based 3D image processing method will contribute to analysis of plant cells behavior. Before image measurement of plant cells, plant sample was cut off cross-sectioned area in a size of almost 300-400 ${\mu}$ m units using the micron thickness device, and some of preprocessing procedure was performed with fixing and dyeing. However, the wall structure of plant cell is closely neighbor each other, it is necessary to separate its boundary pixel. Therefore, image merging and shrinking algorithm was adopted to avoid disconnection. After then, boundary pixel was traced through thinning algorithm. Each image from the electro-microscope has a information of x,y position and its height along the z axis cross sectioned image plane. 3D image was constructed using the continuous image combination. Major feature was acquired from a fault image and measured area, thickness of cell wall, shape and unit cell volume. The shape of plant cell was consist of multiple facet shape. Through this measured information, it is possible to construct for structure shape of unit plant cell. This micro unit image processing techniques will contribute to the filed of agricultural mechanical property and will use to construct unit cell model of each agricultural products and information of boundary will use for finite element analysis on unit cell image.

Image processing steps are consist of image acquisition, preprocessing, region, segmentation and recognition. But image corrupted commonly by noise reduction methods, many filters were proposed like mean filter, median filter, weighted median filter, Cheikh filter, and Kyu-cheol lee filter as spatial noise reduction filtering. We propose a new edge detection algorithm so that we find out edge existence and nonexistence. In non-edge area, we selectively apply weighted median filter based upon using information of difference value between weighted median filter's value and center pixel's value. As a result, we finally prove a better performance of noise reduction by applying adaptive weighted median filter and improvement of processing time through using simple algorithm.

This paper is concerned with the development of vibration measurement using the image processing. With the advance of the personal computer and the image processing device, it becomes possible to measure vibrations by converting the image into motion data. The image stored in the computer is based on pixels. Hence, the efficient technique which can compute vibrational motions from pixel data should be developed. In this study, we will show the feasibility of the image processing technique for vibration measurement. The experimental results show that vibrations can be measured from image data.

Signal pre-processing and post-processing are some areas of study around electrical resistance tomography due to the low spatial resolution of pixel-based reconstructed images. In addition, methods that improve integrity and noise reduction are candidates for application in ERT. Lately, formulations of image processing methods provide new implementations and studies to improve the response against noise. For example, compact variational mode decomposition has recently shown good performance in image decomposition and segmentation. The results from this first approach of C-VMD to ERT show an improvement due to image segmentation, providing filtering of noise in the background and location of the target.
