In this paper, we propose 2D industrial image registration method for the detection of defects. Proposed method performs preprocessing to smooth the original image with the preservation of the edge for the robust registration against general noise. Then, x-direction gradient magnitude image and corresponding binary image are generated. Density analysis around neighborhood regions per pixel are performed to generate feature image for preventing mis-registration due to moire-like patterns, which frequently happen in industrial images. Finally, 2D image registration based on phase correlation between feature images is performed to calculate translational parameters to align two images rapidly and optimally. Experimental results showed that the registration accuracy of proposed method for the real industrial images was 100% and our method was about twenty times faster than the previous method. Our fast and accurate method could be used for the real industrial applications.

Application fields of ultrasonic transducers can be divided into two categories, a high ultrasonic resolution required field and a high ultrasonic power required field. This paper is aimed to determine the optimal properties of the matching layers of the transducer for each of the applications. Further, it is aimed to optimize the properties of the matching layers that show satisfactory performances for both of the application fields. Through the direct time domain analysis of the transmission and reflection behavior of the ultrasonic wave, apart from the conventional equivalent circuit analysis, and Fourier transformation of its results, we found the optimum acoustic impedances of the matching layers. The newly determined layers provide much better transducer performance-57% at most-than those obtained with conventional design methods. Based on the results, we also found the optimal acoustic impedances of the layers good for both of the application fields. For te optimization, we developed a new transducer performance evaluation parameter that can be applied to any type of ultrasonic transducers.

In this paper, we design wavelet matched filters using Wavelet Transform available in the field of time-frequency analysis, for the optical patter recognition, and study optical correlation properites according to variations of the dilation factor of wavelet functions, which were compared with conventional matched filter and POF. We have found that the wavelet matched filters depend upon the shapes if used input patterns and dilation factors of the wavelet function in order to have the best dicriminability. Also, we show the edge enhanced effects of 2-D image, which is one of the properities of the wavelet transform. If has been found that the wavelet matched filter can discriminate better than the conventional matched filter and POF owing to their bandpass properties, and found that the proposed wavelet matched filters have more sensitive correlation response than POF.

Fingerprint matching accuracy is essential in deploying a music search service. This paper deals with a method to improve fingerprint matching accuracy by utilizing an auxiliary information which is called power weight. Power weight is an expected robustness of each hash bit. While the previous power mask binarizes the expected robustness into strong and weak bits, the proposed method utilizes a real-valued function of the expected robustness as weights for fingerprint matching. As a countermeasure to the increased storage cost, we propose a compression method for the power weight which has strong temporal correlation. Experiments on the publicly-available music datasets confirmed that the proposed power weight is effective in improving fingerprint matching performance.

For the indoor spatial modeling by terrestrial LiDAR and the analyzing its positional accuracy result, two terrestrial LiDARs which have different specification each other were used at test site. This paper shows disparity of accuracy between (1) the structural coordinate transformation by point cloud unit using control points and (2) the relative registration among all point cloud units then structural coordinate transformation in bulk, under condition of limited number of control points. As results, the latter had smaller size and distribution of errors than the former although different specifications and acquistion methods are used.

In this paper, we proposed multi-resolution search method based on edge information that can be search a partial input pattern and detect a difference of minute shape information in effectively. The proposed method utilizes the small shape differences among objects as much as possible to distinguish an object from similar shaped objects. It consists of the GHT based candidate generation and top-down candidate verfication. The test results show that it can retrieve the correct object even with a part of object in reasonable time.

In this paper, we propose a new nonlinear matching measure for automatic analysis of the on-off type DNA microarray images in which the hybridized spots are detected by the template matching method. The proposed measure is obtained by binary-thresholding over the whole template region and taking the number of white pixels inside the spotted area. This measure is compared with the normalized covariance in terms of the classification ability of the successfulness of the locating markers. The proposed measure is evaluated for the scanned images of HPV DNA microarrays where the marker locating is a critical issue because of the small number of spots. The targeting spots of HPV DNA chips are designed for genotyping 22 types of the human papilloma virus(HPV). The proposed measure is proven to give more discriminative response reducing the miss cases of the successful marker locating.

Electronic Ink is a stored data in the form of the handwritten text or the script without converting it into ASCII by handwritten recognition on the pen-based computers and Personal Digital Assistants(Pocket PC) for supporting natural and convenient data input. One of the most important issues is to search the electronic ink in order to use it. We proposed and implemented a script matching algorithm for the electronic ink. Proposed matching algorithm separated the input stroke into a set of primitive stroke using the curvature of the stroke curve. After determining the type of separated strokes, it produced a stroke feature vector. And then it calculated the distance between the stroke feature vector of input strokes and one of strokes in the database using the dynamic programming technique.

본 논문에서는 새로운 내용기반 이미지 검색 기법으로 식물 잎의 윤곽선에 대하여 동적 시간 정합 기법을 이용하여 유사한 이미지를 효과적으로 검색하는 방법을 제안한다. 이를 위하여 우선 식물 잎의 기준점에 대하여 잎의 가장자리를 따라 가면서 구해지는 거리의 곡선을 통하여 잎의 외형 특성을 표현하였다. 추출된 곡선 정보의 효율적인 저장과 처리를 위하여 곡선의 특성을 표현할 수 있는 퓨리에 계수(Fourier Coefficients)를 계산하고 이를 바탕으로 유사한 이미지를 계산하였다. 이런 과정에서 생기는 문제점으로는 복잡한 형태의 곡선에 대해서는 퓨리에 계수를 통하여 저장하고 복원하는 과정에서 원본 곡선의 세부적인 형태 정보를 상실하게 된다. 이러한 문제를 해결하기 위해서는 복잡한 곡선 유형에 대해서는 복원시 상실되는 정보가 최소화될 수 있는 작은 단위의 구간으로 나누고 이에 대한 퓨리에 계수를 계산하는 방법으로 다수의 퓨리에 계수 세트를 추출하는 이진 구간 분할 (Binary Range Reduction) 알고리즘을 사용하였고 질의 이미지와 저장된 이미지들을 비교하는 과정에서 검색의 정확도를 향상시키기 위하여 동적 시간 정합(Dynamic Time Warping) 알고리즘을 사용하였다. 그리고 검색의 효율을 더욱 높이기 위하여 추출된 외형 정보를 기반으로 잎의 유형을 다양한 카테고리로 분류하는 외형 기형 기반의 잎 분류 기법을 제안하였다. 다양한 실험을 통하여 제안한 기법이 식물 잎 검색에 우수한 성능을 나타냄을 보인다.

밀리미터파 대역의 아날로그 광전송을 위한 진행파형 (travel ing wave, TW) 전계흡수 광변조기 (electroabsorption modulator, EAM)와 광수신기의 설계에 대해 발표하고자 한다. TW EAM 및 TW 광수신기의 일반적인 형태인 ridge-type의 co-planar waveguide (CPW)구조에서의 마이크로파의 전송특성을 3차원 FDTD로 분석하여 광파와 전파의 속도 정합 등을 이루는 최적화 구조를 설계하였다. TW EAM의 경우 광세기 변조의 비선형 응답특성에 있어서 마이크로파 손실과 소자길이가 RF 신호의 혼변조 왜곡 (intermodulation distortion)과 SFDR (spurious free dynamic range)성능에 미치는 영향도 이론적으로 조사하였다. TW PIN 광수신기의 경우 광파와 마이크로파의 속도정합의 영향과 이전에는 고려되지 않았던 photo-generated 전송자의 진성 영역에서의 transit time이 광수신기의 밴드 폭에 미치는 영향을 분석하여 최적화 설계하였다.
