턱 논문에서는 복잡한 배경에서 다양한 조명과 얼굴의 크기 변화를 가지는 영상으로부터 눈을 검출하는 새로운 방법을 제안한다. 반사 대칭 조건과 타원 모델링을 이용하여 먼저 얼굴을 검출하고 그 영역 내에서 수리 형태학을 이용한 valley detection, binary opening을 수행함으로써 눈 후보 영역을 추출한다. 그리고 정확한 눈동자의 위치를 검출하기 위하여 눈동자 정합 마스크를 제안하였다 얼굴 검출 과정에서 타원의 단축 길이를 추정하여 추출된 얼굴 영상의 크기를 정규화 하였다. 정규화 된 얼굴 영상에서 눈 검출에 적합한 형태소(structuring element)를 결정하여 눈 검출 결과를 보다 견실하게 하였다.

MRA(Multi-resolution analysis) algorithm by Wavelet and morphology with $3{\times}3$ SQ(square) SE(structure element) is efficient to remove ship's radar clutter progressively and enhances detecting performance. Smoothing efficiency of RMM (Recursive mathematical Morphology) is better than that of Morphology. So, to get a better result than that of old algorithms, this paper proposes a new MRA algorithm which uses Wavelet and Recursive mathematical Morphology with $3{\times}3$ RHR(rhombus) SE. Simulation result of the proposed algorithm shows that PSNR is 0.65~1.50db better than that of old method.

Irregular reflected signals on a sea surface make clutters to a ship's radar image. Clutters are similar to Gaussian white noises which are very harmful for detecting objecting at sea by a ship's radar. To remove the clutter effects, many papers show the algorithms by antenna, filters, and so on. This paper shows a new algorithm which uwes Wavelet and Morphology median filter conceps for removing clutter and enhancing image in order to detect well a distressed of being rescued ship in a rough weather condition at sea.

The main goal of this paper is to introduce a novel definition for fuzzy mathematical morphology and a neural network implementation. The generalized- mean operator plays the key role for the definition. Such definition is well suited for neural network implementation. The first stage of the shared-weight neural network has adequate architecture to perform morphological operation. The shared- weight network performs classification based on the features extracted with the fuzzy morphological operation defined in this paper. Therefore, the parameters for the fuzzy definition can be optimized using neural network learning paradigm. Learning rules for the structuring elements, degree of membership, and weighting factors are precisely described. In application to handwritten digit recognition problem, the fuzzy morphological shared-weight neural network produced the results which are comparable to the state-of art for this problem.

A novel characteristic value extraction method based on mathematical morphology is proposed. Morphological spatial frequency defined by morphological pattern distribution function is introduced and applied to define a new feature called ‘average height.' The average height is used to define a characteristic value which is to be used to generate an index key value for content-based image retrieval. Superiority of the method was proved for various images by experiment. Furthermore the fact that the proposed method does not need threshold to obtain binary image provides its applicability to content-based image retrieval.

Video object segmentation is an important component for object-based video coding scheme such as MPEG-4. In this paper, a robust algorithm for segmentation of moving objects in video sequences and VOP(Video Object Planes) extraction is presented. The points of this paper are detection, of an accurate object boundary by associating moving object edge with spatial object edge and generation of VOP. The algorithm begins with the difference between two successive frames. And after extracting difference image, the accurate moving object edge is produced by using the Canny algorithm and morphological operation. To enhance extracting performance, we app]y the morphological operation to extract more accurate VOP. To be specific, we apply morphological erosion operation to detect only accurate object edges. And moving object edges between two images are generated by adjusting the size of the edges. This paper presents a robust algorithm implementation for fast moving object detection by extracting accurate object boundaries in video sequences.

This paper describes a color image segmentation algorithm based on region merging using hue difference as a restrictive condition. The proposed algorithm using mathematical morphology and a modified watershed algorithm does over-segmentation in the RGB space to preserve contour information of regions. Then, the segmentation result of color image is acquired by repeated region merging using hue differences as a restrictive condition. This stems from human visual system based on hue, saturation, and intensity. Hue difference between two regions is used as a restrictive condition for region merging because it becomes more important factor than color difference if intensity is not low. Simulation results show that the proposed color image segmentation algorithm provides efficient segmentation results with the predefined number of regions for various color images.

Three dimensional city model is composed of man-made and natural features, among these, most of man-made features are buildings. Therefore, it is very important to extract the building informations accurately and promptly to update the existing database. To achieve this, DTM can be reconstructed using building Information which is extracted from DTM, then this can be used as three dimensional city model. Thus, this paper aims to extract building boundaries and heights from high resolution DTM and edge informations of aerial photograph using mathematical morphology and image segmentation. We found that it is possible to extract buildings using opening operation in mathematical morphology and to improve the accuracy of building extraction using edge informations from aerial photograph.

Comer point is a very important information to a pattern recognition of image processing. And so, many researchers develope various detecting comer point algoritms. But, there are some problems to get comer points by 8 directional chain code when the degree of edge line is not integer multiplication of 45 degree. So, we propose a new algorithm which is combined with morphology and human visual conception for optimal comer points without the above defects. We get a good simulation result by this proposed algorithm Ana so, we think this algorithm is very useful to FA(factory automation} and ship's radar system to know some coastal area from its image.

It is necessary to induce for using mass transit instead of passenger car, which is high occupied roadway. It is necessary to develop the automated enforcement system to do manage such things. There are lots of problems to enforce the exclusive roadway. One of the biggest problem is the difficulty of vehicle classification. In this paper, morphological vehicle classification algorithm is proposed. Vehicle object is separated from background using frame difference, then the proposed unique weighted skeleton feature is extracted. The experiments show that the vehicle identification results produced by weighted skeleton feature seem to be good quality.
