본 논문은 자동 시각 굴절력 곡률계의 전자 부문에 연동될 곡률 측정 알고리즘을 소개한다. 만약 자동화된 시스템이 광학계로부터 나오는 영상을 이용하여 내부 처리를 거친 후 정확한 시각 측정치를 검사자에게 알려줄 수 있다면 잘못 측정되는 측정 횟수를 크게 줄일 수 있을 것이다. 본 연구는 형태학적 필터링(morphological filtering)과 그레이-레벨의 신호 강조(signal enhance) 기술들을 이용하여 자동 시각 굴절력 곡률계에 연동될 각막 곡률과 굴절력 측정 알고리즘을 개발하였다. 알고리즘에서는 광학계로부터 도출된 링 모양 광원의 화상을 처리하기 위해서 새로운 방법을 사용하는 대신에 구면 굴절력 측정을 위해서 6 개의 점으로 구성된 화상을 처리하는 방식으로 변형 적용시킨다. 이 때 링의 띠를 6 개의 덩어리 점으로 변형하는 과정만을 제외하면 구면 굴절력 영상을 처리하는 방식과 같게 된다. 이는 알고리즘의 간결화와 측정 시간을 줄이는 효과를 얻게 된다. 그리하여 본 각막 측정 알고리즘은 정확한 측정값 도출이 어려운 시각 영상에 적용되어 효과적으로 오차를 줄임으로써 보다 효율적인 각막 측정을 가능하게 하였다.

In this paper, we propose a method for nonlinear grapheme segmentation in Korean printed character type classification. The characters are subdivided into six types based on character type information. The feature vector is consist of mesh features, vertical projection features and horizontal projection features which are extracted from gray-level images. We classify characters into 6 types using Back propagation. Character segmentation regions are determined based on character type information. Then, an optimal nonlinear grapheme segmentation path is found using multi-stage graph search algorithm. As the result, a proposed methodology is proper to classify character type and to find nonlinear char segmentation paths.

Recently, much of the intelligent security scenario and criminal investigation demands for matching photo and non-photo. Existing face recognition system can not sufficiently guarantee these needs. In this paper, we propose an algorithm to improve the performance of heterogeneous face recognition systems by reducing the different modality between sketches and photos of the same person. The proposed algorithm extracts each image's texture features through texture descriptors (gray level co-occurrence matrix, multiscale local binary pattern), and based on this, generates a transformation matrix through eigenfeature regularization and extraction techniques. The score value calculated between the vectors generated in this way finally recognizes the identity of the sketch image through the score normalization methods.

This paper proposes a saturation compensating method by embedding pseudo-random code information in wavelet packet based colorization algorithm. In the color-to-gray process, an input RGB image is converted into YCbCr images, and a 2-level wavelet packet transform is applied to the Y image. And then, color components of CbCr are embedded into two sub-bands including minimum amount of energy on the Y image. At this time, in order to compensate the color saturations of the recovered color image during the printing and scanning process, the maximum and minimum values of CbCr components of an original image are also embedded into the diagonal-diagonal sub-band by a form of pseudo-random code. This pseudo-random code has the maximum and minimum values of an original CbCr components, and is expressed by the number of white pixels. In the gray-to-color process, saturations of the recovered color image are compensated using the ratio of the original CbCr values to the extracted CbCr values. Through the experiments, we can confirm that the proposed method improves color saturations in the recovered color images by the comparison of color difference and PSNR values.

The field of medical images has been digitalized as the development of computer and the digitalization of the medical instruments. As a result it causes a lot of problems such as an illegal copy related to medical images and property right of the medical images. Therefore, digital watermarking is used for discrimination whether the data are modified or not. It is also used to protect both the property right of medical images and the private life of many patients. The proposed theories, the Non-blind and the Blind method, have two problems. One is needed an original image and the other is using a gaussian watermarking. This paper proposes the new Blind Watermarking using binary images in order to easily recognize the results of watermark. This algorism is described that an watermark of a binary image is wavelet-transformed, and then a transformed watermark is inserted in medium-band of frequency domains of original image by the Circular Input method. This method don't have any loss when image didn't have any attack. As a result Watermark can be perfectly extracted by using this algorithm. And Maximam PSNR value is improved 3.35dB. This algorithm will be improved by using gray level image and color image.

This paper proposes an effective watermarking approach for copyright protection of fire video images. The proposed watermarking approach efficiently utilizes the inherent characteristics of fire data with respect to color and texture by using a gray level co-occurrence matrix (GLCM) and fuzzy c-means (FCM) clustering. GLCM is used to generate a texture feature dataset by computing energy and homogeneity properties for each candidate fire image block. FCM is used to segment color of the fire image and to select fire texture blocks for embedding watermarks. Each selected block is then decomposed into a one-level wavelet structure with four subbands [LL, LH, HL, HH] using a discrete wavelet transform (DWT), and LH subband coefficients with a gain factor are selected for embedding watermark, where the visibility of the image does not affect. Experimental results show that the proposed watermarking approach achieves about 48 dB of high peak-signal-to-noise ratio (PSNR) and 1.6 to 2.0 of low M-singular value decomposition (M-SVD) values. In addition, the proposed approach outperforms conventional image watermarking approach in terms of normalized correlation (NC) values against several image processing attacks including noise addition, filtering, cropping, and JPEG compression.

A knowledge-based image retrieval technique is image searching methods using some features from the queried image. The materials in this study are automobile head lamps. The input data is composed of characters and images which have various pattern. The numbers, special symbols, and general letters are under the category of the character. The image informations are made up of the distribution of pixel data, statistical analysis, and state of pattern which are useful for the knowledge data. In this paper, we implemented a retrieval system for the scientific crime detection at traffic accident using the proposed multi knowledge-based image retrieval technique. The values for the multi knowledge-based image features were extracted from color and gray scale each. With this 22 features, we improved the retrieval efficiency about the color information and pattern information. Visual basic, crystal report and MS access DB were used for this application. We anticipate the efficient scientific detection for the traffic accident and the tracking of suspicious vehicle.

In this paper, we propose a facial characteristic detection algorithm based on knowledge and object segmentation method for image communication. In this algorithm, under the condition of the same lumination and distance from the fixed video camera to human face, we capture input images of 256 $\times$ 256 of gray scale 256 level and then remove the noise using the Gaussian filter. Two images are captured with a video camera, One contains the human face; the other contains only background region without including a face. And then we get a differential image between two images. After removing noise of the differential image by eroding End dilating, divide background image into a facial image. We separate eyes, ears, a nose and a mouth after searching the edge component in the facial image. From simulation results, we have verified the efficiency of the Proposed algorithm.
