The modified Canny edge detection algorithm that can detect the boundary between screen door and platform in the subway is proposed in this paper. Generally, in the subway, the boundary line between the platform and the screen door is darker than the surrounding area. Therefore, an edge image is using the modified bottom-hat transform by considering its characteristics. Double thresholded images with strong edge and weak edge through double thresholding are obtained. An algorithm that detects the boundary invasion between the platform and the screen door is proposed by calculating the length by applying the Hough transform to the double thresholded image and comparing the boundary line length between when there is an object such as a person and when there is no object. In this paper, the results of the proposed modified Canny edge detection algorithm using two different input images according to camera height position are shown by computer simulation.

본 논문에서는 다양한 형태의 어플리케이션 중 스마트폰에 탑재된 카메라를 이용하여 명함을 인식할 때 발생하는 문제점을 해결하기 위한 기법을 제시하고자 한다. 스마트폰의 카메라를 이용하여 이미지를 얻을 경우 카메라의 각도에 따라 객체의 모양이 변형된다. 명함인식에서 이러한 이미지 왜곡문제는 인식률에 많은 영향을 미친다. 본 논문에서는 카메라의 각도에 따른 이미지의 왜곡 문제를 해결하기 위해 캐니 에지를 이용하여 객체를 검출하고, 검출된 객체의 간단한 정보를 이용하여 명함 영역을 검출하고, 영역 내에 명함을 검출하는 기법을 제안한다.

AAM(Active Appearance Model) is an algorithm to extract face feature points with statistical models of shape and texture information based on PCA(Principal Component Analysis). This method is widely used for face recognition, face modeling and expression recognition. However, the detection performance of AAM algorithm is sensitive to initial value and the AAM method has the problem that detection error is increased when an input image is quite different from training data. Especially, the algorithm shows high accuracy in case of closed lips but the detection error is increased in case of opened lips and deformed lips according to the facial expression of user. To solve these problems, we propose the improved AAM algorithm using lip feature points which is extracted based on a new lip detection algorithm. In this paper, we select a searching region based on the face feature points which are detected by AAM algorithm. And lip corner points are extracted by using Canny edge detection and histogram projection method in the selected searching region. Then, lip region is accurately detected by combining color and edge information of lip in the searching region which is adjusted based on the position of the detected lip corners. Based on that, the accuracy and processing speed of lip detection are improved. Experimental results showed that the RMS(Root Mean Square) error of the proposed method was reduced as much as 4.21 pixels compared to that only using AAM algorithm.
