In this paper we proposed the novel feature extraction method that is able to extract the individual characters from the license plate area of the car image more precisely by using the RGB color information and the fuzzy binarization newly proposed. The proposed method, first, extracts from the original image the areas that the pixels with the colors around the green are concentrated on as the candidate areas of the license plate, and selects the area with the most intensive distribution of pixels with the white color among the candidate areas as the license plate area. Second the noises of the license plate area should be removed by using 34{\times}$3 Sobel masking, and the fuzzy binarization method are proposed and applied to the license plate area to generate the binarized image of the license plate area. Lastly, the application of the contour tracking algorithm to the binarized area extracts the individual characters from the license plate area. The experiment on a variety of the real car images showed that the proposed method generates the higher rate of success for character extraction than the previous methods.

We implement automobile license plates recognition system. These days automobile license plate recognition systems are widely used for tracing stolen cars. managing parking facilities, ticketing speeding cars, and so on. Recognition systems largely consist of three parts plates extraction, segments extraction, and segment recognition. For plates extraction, we measure the degree of inclination of plate. We use filters that extract only the horizontal components of the front of an automobile to measure the degree of inclination. For segment extraction, we trace the change of the number of blocks that consist solely of foreground pixels or background pixels as the horizontal scanning line moves along upward. For recognition of each individual letter or digit, we devise a variant of template matching method, called comparative template matching. Through experiments, we show that comparative template matching is less prone misled by noises and exhibits higher performance compared to the traditional method of template matching or histogram based recognition.

CCTV(closed-circuit television) 시스템은 현재 도로 교통감시, 아파트 방범, 차량 번호판 인식 등 많은 분야에서 사용되고 있다. 사용되는 여러 분야에서 실제 물체와 감시 영상의 오차를 줄이기 위해 좀 더 향상된 화질의 영상을 필요로 하고 있다. 디지털 카메라가 보편화 되고 또한 급속한 영상 압축 기술의 발전으로 인해 고화질의 영상을 지원하는 카메라가 빠르게 출시되고 있다. 현재 보편화된 영상 압축 기술 중 가장 뛰어난 성능을 발휘하는 H.264를 지원 하는 카메라를 사용한 CCTV 감시 시스템이 늘고 있는 것이 현실이다. 본 논문에서는 H.264를 이용하여 고화질의 영상을 지원하는 여러 카메라를 동시에 원격으로 감시할 수 있는 Client Viewer 를 구현 하였다. 구현한 Client Viewer 는 실시간 재생 기능 및 녹화 기능을 지원 하며 녹화된 영상을 검색하고 재생하는 DVR 기능도 지원한다.

Breast Imaging Reporting and Data System (BI-RADS) is a communication and data tracking system that standardizes and controls the quality of reporting by presenting lexicon descriptors, assessment categories, and recommendations for managing breast lesions. Using standardized terminology recommended by BI-RADS, radiologists can concisely and reproducibly communicate breast imaging results to clinicians. They can also provide the estimated malignant probability of the lesions found and guide management for them by determining the final assessment category. The limitations of BI-RADS 5th edition currently in use are that there are some areas for which standardized terminologies still need to be established, and that the diagnostic criteria of MRI assessment categories 3 and 4 are ambiguous compared to those for mammography or ultrasound. The next revision of BI-RADS is expected to include solutions for overcoming current limitations.

In this study, we designed the system that helps drivers check all information about parking space at the entrance and find out whether the places is available or not, because the system has 'Image recognition function' which can even recognize car number plates exactly. Besides, we place the webcam close to the car number plate, so that car number can be identified more quickly. Finally, since we set the webcam high, the system keeps us from parking wrong places by displaying on the screen.

본 논문에서는 라즈베리파이(Raspberry Pi)와 실시간 객체 감지 기술인 YOLO를 이용한 전기차충전기앞불법주차 경고 영상인식 시스템을 제안한다. 최근 전기 자동차의 사용과 더불어 충전 인프라는 점점 늘어나는 중이지만, 여전히 전기차 충전기는 많지 않은 것이 현실이다. 전국 1,000여 곳이 넘는 전기차 충전소에 대해 법령으로 인한 규제를 시행 중임에도 불구하고 불법주차를 하는 일반차 오너들은 여전히 많다. 이로 인해 전기차 오너들은 충전에 많은 불편함이 있다. 이 시스템은 전기 자동차의 번호판을 인식하여 실시간 객체 감지 딥러닝 기법인 YOLO를 이용해 전기 자동차의 번호판에 특정 부분을 인식하고 특정 부분이 없는 일반 자동차가 전기차 충전기 앞 불법 주차를 하게 되면 부저와 LED경고를 통해 주차된 일반 차량에게 경고를 하여, 불법 주차자와 더불어 주변을 지나가는 행인들에게도 전기차 앞 불법 주차에 대해 각인을 시켜줄 수 있는 시스템이다.

This paper presents a method for speed limit sign recognition in images. Conventional sign recognition methods decreases recognition accuracy because they are very sensitive and include repeated features. The proposed method emphasizes color attributes based on the weighted YUV color space. Moreover, the recognition accuracy can be improved by extracting the local region of interest (ROI) in the candidates. The proposed method uses the Haar features and the Adaboost classifier for recognition. Experimental results confirm that the proposed algorithm is superior to conventional algorithms under various speed signs and conditions.

This paper proposes a method for recognition of traffic signs using wavelet transform and shape information from the segmented traffic sign regions. It first segments traffic sign candidate regions by connected component algorithm from binary images, obtained by utilizing the RGB color ratio of each pixel in the image, and then extracts actual traffic sign regions based on their symmetries on X- and Y-axes. In the recognition stage, it utilizes shape information including moment edge correlogram and the number of crossings which concentric circular patterns from region center intersects with frequency information extracted by wavelet transform It finally performs recognition by measuring similarity with the templates in the database. The experimental results show the validity of the proposed method from geometric transformations and environmental factors.

In this paper, we propose a system that extracts licence plate and recognizes numerals in the licence plate. The candidate area of licence plate is extracted using the improved IAFC(Integrated Adaptive Fuzzy Clustering) fuzzy neural network. And the morphological filters are used to reduce noise from the extracted licence plate. The extracted licence plate is standardized using Hough transform and geometric transform. Backpropagation neural network is used to recognize numerals that are separated using the projection technique.
