The method of the edge detection algorithm based on grayscale mathematical morphology has the advantage that image noise can be removed and processed in parallel, and the operation speed is fast. However, the method of detecting the edge of an image using a single structural scale element may be affected by image information. The characteristics of grayscale morphology may be limited to the edge information result of the operation result by repeatedly performing expansion, erosion, opening, and containment operations by repeating structural elements. In this paper, we propose an edge detection algorithm that applies a structural element with strong directionality to noise and then applies weighted entropy to each pixel information in the element. The result of applying the multi-scale structural element applied to the image and the result of applying the directional weighted entropy were compared and analyzed, and the simulation result showed that the proposed algorithm is superior in edge detection.

In this paper, we propose an efficient deinterlacing algorithm which interpolates the missing scan lines by weighted summing of the intra and the inter interpolation pixels according to the spatio-temporal variation. In the spatial interpolation, we adopt a new edge based spatial interpolation method which includes edge directional refinement. The conventional edge dependent interpolation algorithms are very sensitive to noise due to the failure of estimating edge direction. In order to exactly detect edge direction, our method first finds the edge directions around the pixel to be interpolated and then refines edge direction of the pixel using weighted maximun frequent filter. Futhermore, we improve the accuracy of motion detection by reducing the possibility of motion detection error using 3 tab median filter. In the final interpolation step, we adopt weighted sum of intra and inter interpolation pixels according to spatio-temporal variation ratio, thereby improving the quality in slow moving area. Simulation results show the efficacy of the proposed method with significant improvement over the previous methods in terms of the objective PSNR quality as well as the subjective image quality.

The purpose of painterly rendering is to express real painting work from input image. For expression of real pain ting impression, drawing condition is one of main element. In this paper, we propose new algorithm for using density of edges. Drawing condition of new algorithm uses color difference and density of edges. And for finding next position from current position, we used dynamic grid. We did direction interpolation for coherence direction. Also using various texture brush, we express the feel of a material effective. We show results of images rendered more realistic oil painting effect, and discuss long-term goals for more effective result.

본 논문에서는 발전하는 3D 그래픽스 기술을 이용하여 문화재의 도면 실루엣을 생성하는 방법을 제안하고자 한다. 3D 스캐너로 정밀 실측된 3D 데이터를 이용하여 문화재의 도면을 생성하기 위한 벡터 실루엣(Silhouette) 추출 과정은 다음과 같다. 먼저 실측된 3D 데이터를 정규화 된 3D공간으로 이동하고, 이동 후에는 데이터에 존재하는 모든 에지(edge)를 검출하여 에지리스트(edge list)를 생성한다. 생성된 에지리스트는 다시 윤곽에지(Contour edge)와 주름에지(Crease edge)로 분류하는데, 윤곽에지는 문화재의 윤곽 실루엣을 형성하는데 이용하고, 윤곽에지를 제외한 주름에지는 문화재의 표면 특징을 나타내는 내부문양 실루엣을 형성하는데 이용한다. 내부문양 실루엣은 사용자가 입력하는 임계값과 주름에지를 구성하는 두면의 방향 벡터의 내적을 비교하여 추출한다. 추출한 벡터 실루엣은 윤곽 실루엣과 내부문양 실루엣으로 구분되며, 두 벡터 실루엣을 이용함으로써 문화재의 구조적 해석과 표면의 특징을 해석할 수 있는 도면 실루엣 생성이 가능했다.

An edge includes information of objects such as magnitude, orientation, and location. Conventional edge detection methods to detect those edge are methods using Sobel, Prewitt, Roberts, Laplacian operator. Existing methods use fixed weighted mask to detect edges, and their edge detection characteristics are insufficient. Therefore, to remedy weakness of conventional methods, in this paper, an edge detection algorithm using weight with standard deviation and thresholds is proposed.

In this paper, a simple edge pattern classification method is proposed for detecting straight line segments in an image corrupted by impulse noise. Corrupted images have complicated edge patterns. To detect straight line from an complicated edge pattern, it is needed to simplify the entire edge. The proposed algorithm separates the entire edge into 4 directional partial edge patterns. Each line segment is separated from the partial edge image where several line segments are overlapped, and then the straight line is detected. The results of the experiments emphasize that the proposed algorithm is simple but accurate.

In this paper, the novel approach for image contrast enhancement is introduced. The method is based on the unsharp mask and directional information of images. Since the unsharp mask techniques give better visual quality than the conventional sharpening mask, there are much works on image enhancement using unsharp masks. The proposed algorithm decomposes the image to several blocks and extracts directional information using DCT. From the geometric properties of the block, each block is labeled as appropriate type and processed by adaptive unsharp mask. The masking process is skipped at the flat area to reduce the noise artifact, but at the texture and edge area, the adaptive unsharp mask is applied to enhance the image contrast based on the edge direction. Experiments show that the proposed algorithm produces the contrast enhanced images with superior visual quality, suppressing the noise effects and enhancing edge at the same time.

영상 분류는 내용기반 영상검색에서 부적절한 이미지를 효과적으로 걸러 낼 수 있게 하여 영상 검색의 성능을 향상 시키는데 큰 역할을 하게 된다. 따라서 최근 의미 있는 영상의 분류가 내용기반검색분야에서 중요한 과제로 대두되고 있다. 본 논문에서는 에지 정보를 이용해서 객체 영상을 인공객체영상과 자연객체영상으로 분류하는 방법을 제안한다. 직선형태의 에지를 많이 가지는 인공객체의 경우 에지 방향 히스토그램의 에너지가 자연객체에 비해 높은 값을 가지기 때문에 객체 분류에 유용한 정보로서 에지 정보를 활용하였다. 또한 에너지 값을 낮추는 원형의 에지가 인공객체영상에서 주로 발견되는 점을 이용하여, 제거에 의해 분류의 성능을 높이고자 하였다. 한편 가버 필터를 이용한 분류 결과에 비해 에지 정보를 이용한 분류가 성능 면에서 보다 나은 결과를 얻을 수 있었다.

According to the related reports, about 60 percents of ship collisions have resulted from operating mistake caused by human factor. Specially, the report said that negligence of observation caused 66.8 percents of the accidents due to a human factor. Hence automatic detection and tracking of an object from an IR images are crucial for safety navigation because it can relieve officer's burden and remedies imperfections of human visual system. In this paper, we present a method to detect an object such as ship, rock and buoy from a sea IR image. Most edge directions of the sea image are horizontal and most vertical edges come out from the object areas. The presented method uses them as a characteristic for the object detection. Vertical edges are extracted from the input image and isolated edges are eliminated. Then morphological closing operation is performed on the vertical edges. This caused vertical edges that actually compose an object be connected and become an object candidate region. Next, reference object regions are extracted using horizontal edges, which appear on the boundaries between surface of the sea and the objects. Finally, object regions are acquired by sequentially integrating reference region and object candidate regions.
