최근들어 자연스럽게 필기된 한글을 인식함으로써 정보 입력 과정을 자동화하기 위한 오프라인 한글 글씨 인식에 관한 연구가 활발히 진행되고 있다. 오프라인 한글 글씨 인식에 관한 연구에 있어서 반드시 확보되어야 하는 연구 환경으로 대용량 오프라인 한글 글씨 데이타베이스의 구축을 들 수 있는데, 본 논문에서는 시스템공학연구소 국어공학센터의 국어 정보 베이스 개발사업의 일환으로 추진중인 오프라인 한글 글씨 데이타베이스의 구축현황에 대해 간략히 소개하고자 한다. 오프라인 한글 글씨 데이타베이스의 구축은 크게 글씨 데이타베이스 설계, 글씨 데이타 수집, 용지 스캔 및 문자 단위 분할, 데이타베이스 검증의 4 단계로 구성된다. 본 연구에서는 다양한 변형을 갖는 글씨체의 수집을 데이타베이스 구축시 가장 고려해야 할 요소로 삼았으며, 고품질의 일관성 있는 글씨 데이타베이스 구축을 위해 데이타베이스 설계 단계와 검증 단계에 많은 시간을 할애했다. 마지막으로 본 연구에서는 WWW(World Wide Web)의 HTML(Hyper Text Markup Language)을 이용하여 편리 한 사용자 인터페이스를 구현함으로써 사용자들이 쉽게 한글 글씨 영상을 검색 할 수 있음은 물론 인식 알고리즘의 개발에 사용 가능한 형태의 화일을 제공받을 수 있도록 구성하고 있다. 현재는 KS C 완성형 한글 2,350자 중에서 사용 빈도순 상위 520자에 대한 한글 글씨 1,000벌을 수집하여 명도영상 데이타베이스를 구축 중에 있으며, 향후 2년간 나머지 1,830자에 대한 한글 글씨 데이타를 수집하여 데이타베이스를 완성하고자 한다. 구축된 글씨 데이타베이스는 조만간 국내의 오프라인 한글 글씨 인식 연구자들에게 제공되어 우수한 인식 알고리즘의 개발을 위한 중요한 실험 데이타로서 사용될 예정이며, 개발된 인식 시스템에 대한 객관적인 성능 평가에 있어서도 크게 기여하여 국내의 오프라인 한글 글씨 인식에 관한 연구를 활성화시켜주는 계기가 될 것으로 기대된다.

Abstract Perspective views provide a powerful depth cue and thus aid the interpretation of complicated images. The main drawback of current perspective volume rendering is the long execution time. In this paper, we present an efficient perspective volume rendering algorithm based on coherency between rays. Two sets of templates are built for the rays cast from horizontal and vertical scanlines in the intermediate image which is parallel to one of volume faces. Each sample along a ray is calculated by interpolating neighboring voxels with the pre-computed weights in the templates. We also solve the problem of uneven sampling rate due to perspective ray divergence by building more templates for the regions far away from a viewpoint. Since our algorithm operates in object-order, it can avoid redundant access to each voxel and exploit spatial data coherency by using run-length encoded volume. Experimental results show that the use of templates and the object-order processing with run-length encoded volume provide speedups, compared to the other approaches. Additionally, the image quality of our algorithm improves by solving uneven sampling rate due to perspective ray di vergence.

Off-line programming and robot calibration through simulation are essential when setting up a robot in a robot automation production line. In this study, we developed a new robot calibration method to match the CAD data of the production line with the measurement data on the site using 3D scanner. The proposed method calibrates the robot using 3D point cloud data through Iterative Closest Point algorithm. Registration is performed in three steps. First, vertices connected by three planes are extracted from CAD data as feature points for registration. Three planes are reconstructed from the scan point data located around the extracted feature points to generate corresponding feature points. Finally, the transformation matrix is calculated by minimizing the distance between the feature points extracted through the ICP algorithm. As a result of applying the software to the automobile welding robot installation, the proposed method can calibrate the required accuracy to within 1.5mm and effectively shorten the set-up time, which took 5 hours per robot unit, to within 40 minutes. By using the developed system, it is possible to shorten the OLP working time of the car body assembly line, shorten the precision teaching time of the robot, improve the quality of the produced product and minimize the defect rate.

An image is partitioned into non-overlapping $8{\times}8$ blocks fer JPEG compression. A scan order converter is placed before the JPEG encoder to provide $8{\times}8$ blocks from the pixels in raster scan order. In general, its architecture requires two line memories for storing eight lines separately to allow the concurrent memory access by both the camera and JPEG processors. Although such architecture is simple to be implemented, it can be inefficient due to too excessive memory requirement as the image resolution increases. However, no deterministic addressing equation has been developed for scan conversion. In this paper, an effective memory addressing algorithm is proposed that can be devised only by adders and subtracters to implement a scan converter based on the single line memory.

As the existing radiation scanning systems use 2-dimensional radiation scanned images, the low accuracy has been pointed out as a problem of it. This research analyzes the applicability of the stereo image processing technique to X-ray scanned images. Two 2-dimensional radiation images which have different disparity values are acquired from a newly designed stereo image acquisition system which has one additional line sensor to the conventional system. Using a matching algorithm the 3D reconstruction process which find the correspondence between the images is progressed. As the radiation image is just a density information of the scanned object, the direct application of the general stereo image processing techniques to it is inefficient. To overcome this limitation of a stereo image processing in radiation area, we reconstruct 3-D shapes of the edges of the objects. Also, we proposed a new volume based 3D reconstruction algorithm. Experimental results show the proposed new volume based reconstruction technique can provide more efficient visualization for cargo inspection. The proposed technique can be used for such objects which CT or MRI cannot inspect due to restricted scan environment.

The variation of discharge characteristics of an ac PDP was observed with the charge of scan electrode driving circuit. Conventional scan electrode driving circuit provides two switches per one scan line, and the suggested one can be constituted by one switch per one scan line with the consideration of capacitive load characteristic of an ac PDP. To verify the workability of the suggested scheme, the performances of the ac PDP was investigated. The dynamic voltage margin was slightly decreased with the adoption of the suggested scheme, which is estimated to result from the misfiring of unselected discharge cells due to the deformation of voltage level of the neighboring scan electrode. In the observation of the delay characteristics of addressing discharge, the performances of the conventional circuit and the suggested one are assumed to be equivalent.

사용자 인증에 관한 연구 중 지문인식에 대한 연구는 매우 진보적인 발전을 거듭해왔다. 지문인식 장치의 보급으로 지문영상을 입력받기 위한 센서의 소형화와 저가화가 요구되어짐에 따라 Area-Sensor를 대신하여 Line-Sensor에 대한 관심이 높아지고 있다. 하지만 잡음에 민감한 Line-Sensor의 특성과 비효율적인 스캔방법으로 인하여 양질의 지문영상을획득하기에 어려움이 있다. 기존의 지문인식 알고리즘의 지문영상개선 방법으로는 인식과정 중 오류를 일으키는 확률이 높아 Line-Sensor에서 획득한 지문영상의 개선에 관한 알고리즘을 제안한다.

The purpose of format conversion is to convert a wide range of personal computer video formats into a target format. Circuits for the conversion have been developed by means of interpolation techniques, such as zero-order interpolation, bilinear interpolation, and bisigmoidal interpolation. This paper proposes a scan converter using cubic splines. The converter was modeled in VHDL on Max+PlusII and implemented with an FPGA chip. The circuit gives much better conversion performance than a scan converter with zero-order or linear interpolation.
