자연배경으로부터 불특정 다수 객체의 윤곽선들을 자동 추출하는 다중 스네이크(Snake) 알고리즘을 제안하였다. 먼저 잡음에 강건한 문맥자유 주목연산자(context-free attention operator)를 이용하여 자연배경에 혼재하는 불특정 다수 객체들을 자동 검출하고, 각 객체별로 스네이크의 초기 윤곽들을 자동 설정함으로써 기존 스네이크 알고리즘에서는 어려웠던 초기 윤곽의 자동 설정과 여러 객체 윤곽선의 동시 추출 문제를 해결하였다. 이때 각 스네이크의 초기 윤곽들은 기존의 방법들에 비해 객체들의 실제윤곽선에 좀 더 가까이 설정하여 요철이 큰 객체들의 윤곽선도 쉽게 추출 할 수 있도록 하였다. 다양한 합성 영상과 자연배경의 실영상에 대해 실험하여 잡음이 있는 복잡한 배경으로부터도 불특정 다수 객체의 윤곽선을 효과적으로 자동 추출함을 확인하였다.

Wear debris morphology is closely related to the wear mode and mechanism occured. Image recognition of wear debris is, therefore, a powerful tool in wear monitoring. But it has usually required expert's experience and the results could be too subjective. Development of automatic tools for wear debris recognition is needed to solve this problem. In this work, an algorithm for automatic wear debris recognition was suggested and implemented by PC base software. The presented method defined a characteristic 3-dimensional feature space where typical types of wear debris were separately located by the knowledge-based system and compared the similarity of object wear debris concerned. The 3-dimensional feature space was obtained from multiple feature vectors by using a multi-dimensional scaling technique. The results showed that the presented automatic wear debris recognition was satisfactory in many cases application.

실사 및 그래픽 기반 가상현실 콘텐츠는 360도 영상을 기반으로 하며, 시청자의 의도나 자동 추천 기능을 통한 뷰포트 추출이 필수적이다. 본 논문은 360도 영상에서 다중 객체 추적 기반의 뷰포트 추출 시스템을 설계하고, 다중 뷰포트 추출에 필요한 병렬화된 연산 구조를 제안한다. 360도 영상에서 뷰포트 추출 과정을 ERP 좌표의 3D 구 표면 좌표 변환과 3D 구 표면 좌표의 뷰포트 내 2D 좌표 변환 과정을 순서대로 픽셀 단위의 스레드로 구성하여 연산을 병렬화하였다. 제안 구조는 항공 360도 영상 시퀀스들에 대하여 최대 30개의 뷰포트 추출 과정에 대한 연산 시간이 평가되었으며, 뷰포트 수에 정비례하는 CPU 기반 연산 시간에 비해 최대 5240배 가속화됨을 확인하였다. ERP 프레임 I/O 시간을 줄일 수 있는 고속의 I/O나 메모리 버퍼를 사용 시 뷰포트 추출 시간을 7.82배 추가 가속화가 가능하다. 제안하는 뷰포트 추출 병렬화 구조는 360도 비디오나 가상현실 콘텐츠들에 대한 동시 다중 접속 서비스나 사용자별 영상 요약 서비스 등에 활용될 수 있다.

Infrared (IR) imaging has been researched for various applications such as surveillance. IR radiation has the capability to detect thermal characteristics of objects under low-light conditions. However, automatic segmentation for finding the object of interest would be challenging since the IR detector often provides the low spatial and contrast resolution image without color and texture information. Another hindrance is that the image can be degraded by noise and clutters. This paper proposes multi-level segmentation for extracting regions of interest (ROIs) and objects of interest (OOIs) in the IR scene. Each level of the multi-level segmentation is composed of a k-means clustering algorithm, an expectation-maximization (EM) algorithm, and a decision process. The k-means clustering initializes the parameters of the Gaussian mixture model (GMM), and the EM algorithm estimates those parameters iteratively. During the multi-level segmentation, the area extracted at one level becomes the input to the next level segmentation. Thus, the segmentation is consecutively performed narrowing the area to be processed. The foreground objects are individually extracted from the final ROI windows. In the experiments, the effectiveness of the proposed method is demonstrated using several IR images, in which human subjects are captured at a long distance. The average probability of error is shown to be lower than that obtained from other conventional methods such as Gonzalez, Otsu, k-means, and EM methods.

This paper proposes a global mapping algorithm for multiple robots from an omnidirectional-vision simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM) approach based on an object extraction method using Lucas-Kanade optical flow motion detection and images obtained through fisheye lenses mounted on robots. The multi-robot mapping algorithm draws a global map by using map data obtained from all of the individual robots. Global mapping takes a long time to process because it exchanges map data from individual robots while searching all areas. An omnidirectional image sensor has many advantages for object detection and mapping because it can measure all information around a robot simultaneously. The process calculations of the correction algorithm are improved over existing methods by correcting only the object's feature points. The proposed algorithm has two steps: first, a local map is created based on an omnidirectional-vision SLAM approach for individual robots. Second, a global map is generated by merging individual maps from multiple robots. The reliability of the proposed mapping algorithm is verified through a comparison of maps based on the proposed algorithm and real maps.

Sharing of online videos via internet is an emerging and important concept in different types of applications like surveillance and video mobile search in different web related applications. So there is need to manage personalized web video retrieval system necessary to explore relevant videos and it helps to peoples who are searching for efficient video relates to specific big data content. To evaluate this process, attributes/features with reduction of dimensionality are computed from videos to explore discriminative aspects of scene in video based on shape, histogram, and texture, annotation of object, co-ordination, color and contour data. Dimensionality reduction is mainly depends on extraction of feature and selection of feature in multi labeled data retrieval from multimedia related data. Many of the researchers are implemented different techniques/approaches to reduce dimensionality based on visual features of video data. But all the techniques have disadvantages and advantages in reduction of dimensionality with advanced features in video retrieval. In this research, we present a Novel Intent based Dimension Reduction Semi-Supervised Learning Approach (NIDRSLA) that examine the reduction of dimensionality with explore exact and fast video retrieval based on different visual features. For dimensionality reduction, NIDRSLA learns the matrix of projection by increasing the dependence between enlarged data and projected space features. Proposed approach also addressed the aforementioned issue (i.e. Segmentation of video with frame selection using low level features and high level features) with efficient object annotation for video representation. Experiments performed on synthetic data set, it demonstrate the efficiency of proposed approach with traditional state-of-the-art video retrieval methodologies.

Multi-camera systems have been widely used as cost-effective tools for the collection of geospatial data for various applications. In order to fully achieve the potential accuracy of these systems for object space reconstruction, careful system calibration should be carried out prior to data collection. Since the structural integrity of the involved cameras' components and system mounting parameters cannot be guaranteed over time, multi-camera system should be frequently calibrated to confirm the stability of the estimated parameters. Therefore, automated techniques are needed to facilitate and speed up the system calibration procedure. The automation of the multi-camera system calibration approach, which was proposed in the first part of this paper, is contingent on the automated detection, localization, and identification of the object space signalized targets in the images. In this paper, the automation of the proposed camera calibration procedure through automatic target extraction and labelling approaches will be presented. The introduced automated system calibration procedure is then implemented for a newly-developed multi-camera system while considering the optimum configuration for the data collection. Experimental results from the implemented system calibration procedure are finally presented to verify the feasibility the proposed automated procedure. Qualitative and quantitative evaluation of the estimated system calibration parameters from two-calibration sessions is also presented to confirm the stability of the cameras' interior orientation and system mounting parameters.

본 논문에서는 X-ray 영상에서 의료 진단지표를 자동으로 추출하기 위한 조직분할 기법을 제안한다. 척추질환이나 심장질환에 대한 진단지표로서, 흉추-심장 비율이나 콥 각도 등의 지표를 산출하기 위해서는 흉부 X-ray 영상으로부터 흉추, 용골 및 심장의 영역을 정확하게 분할하는 과정이 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 이를 위하여 계층별로 영상의 고해상도의 표현과 저해상도의 특징지도로 변환되는 구조가 병렬적으로 연결되는 형태의 심층신경망 모델을 채택하였다. 이러한 구조는 영상에서 세부 조직의 상대적인 위치정보가 분할 과정에 효과적으로 반영될 수 있게 한다. 또한 픽셀 정보와 객체 정보가 다단계의 과정으로 상호 작용되는 OCR 모듈과, 네트워크의 각 채널이 서로 다른 가중치 값으로 반영되도록 하는 채널 어텐션 모듈을 결합하여 학습 성능을 개선할 수 있음을 보인다. 부수적으로 X-ray 영상에서 피사체의 위치 변화, 형태의 변형 및 크기 변이 등에도 강인한 성능을 제공하기 위하여 학습데이터를 증강하는 방법을 제시하였다. 총 145개의 인체 흉부 X-ray 영상과, 총 118개의 동물 X-ray 영상을 사용한 실험을 통하여 제안된 이론의 타당성을 평가하였다.
