Scene text extraction is important because it offers some important information on different image based applications pouring in current smart generation. Edge-Enhanced MSER(Maximally Stable Extremal Regions) which enhances the boundaries using the canny operator after extracting the basic MSER shows excellent performance in terms of text extraction. But according to setting the threshold of the canny operator, the result images using Edge-Enhanced MSER are different, so there needs a method figuring out the threshold. In this paper, we propose a AEMSER(Adaptive Edge-enhanced MSER) that applies the method extracting the boundary using the middle value of histogram to Edge-Enhanced MSER to get the canny operator's threshold. The proposed method can acquire better result images than the existing methods because it extracts the area only for the obvious boundaries.

Color harmony will look good formative elements of the basic lines, shapes and colors. In this paper, we present the implementation of Johannes Itten's color balance. Yellow, red, blue, on the basis of the first color mixing between the index and second color is placed. 12 color balance made by placing a third color between the first color and second color. we recognize this 12 color balance. Edge is detected using the Canny edge operator and labeling and clustering was expressed through the colors.

An edge is where the intensity of an image moves from a low value to high value or vice versa. The edges tell where objects are. their shape and size. and something about their texture. Many traditional edge operators are derivative based and perform reasonably well for simple noise-free images. In recent, statistical edge detectors for complex images with noises have been described. This paper compares and analysis the performance of statistical edge detectors based on the T test and Wilcoxon test, and mathematical edge detectors based on Sobel operator, and the well-known Canny detector and Wavelet transformation detector, and provides the implementation of these edge detectors using Java on the web.

Edge is a significant element to represent boundary information between objects in images. There are various edge detection methods, which are based on differential operation, such as Sobel, Prewitt, Roberts, Canny, Laplacian, and etc. However the conventional methods have drawbacks as follow : (i) insensitivity to edges with gentle curve intensity, (ii) detection of double edges for edges with one pixel width. For the detection of edges, not only development of the effective operators but also that of appropriate thresholding methods are necessary. But it is very complicate problem to find an appropriate threshold. In this paper, we propose an edge detection method based on the region separateness between objects to overcome the drawbacks of the conventional methods, and a thresholding method for the proposed edge detection method. We show the effectiveness of the proposed method through experimental results obtained by applying the proposed and the conventional methods to well-known test images.

In order to detect and locate edge features precisely in real images we have developed an algorithm by introducing a nonlocal differentiation of intensity profiles called adaptive directional derivative (ADD), which is evaluated independently of varying ramp widths. In this paper, we first develop the edge detector system employing the ADD and then, the performance of the algorithm is illustrated by comparing the results to those from the Canny's edge detector.

In this paper, system divide into the edge extraction, labeling, clustering, and South Korea's traditional color combination and identifying to identify Korea's traditional colors. Edge is extracted using Canny operator. And given the label, and clustering to ensure the quality of the cluster. Finally, we identify color harmony by organizing and comparing primary color with secondary color configuration table Korea traditional color.

본 논문에서는 에지 검출기에 의해 다양한 명암이 존재하는 차량 번호판 영역의 사각형 에지를 검출시 사용되는 소벨 및 Prewitt, Roberts, 가우시안의 라플라시안, 그리고 Canny 검출기를 사용하여 처리 속도와 에지 검출의 정확성을 실험하여 각 연산자의 성능을 평가하였다. 기존의 Sobel 에지 검출기는 적응적 임계값을 구하지 않으면 다양한 조명의 영향에 강인하지 못하다. 또한 Canny 에지 검출기는 조명의 영향에 강인하기는 하나, 계산량이 Sobel 보다는 많아 처리 속도가 느리다. 색상에 의해 번호판 후보 영역을 추출한 후 에지 검출기 번호판 내의 명암이 둘 이상으로 차량 번호판 영역에 대해서, 다양한 에지 검출기를 적용하여 속도와 에지 검출 성능을 비교 평가하고자 한다.

본 논문에서는 영상 부호화시 전처리 과정을 수행함으로써 잡음을 제거하는 새로운 알고리듬을 제안하였다. 제안한 알고리듬은 영상의 선명도를 유지할뿐아니라 전체적인 부호화 효율을 높여준다. 효율향상 과정은 다음과 같다. 첫째 블록 특성에 다라 영역을 분류하며, 둘째로는 Canny 연산자와 Sobel 연산자를 이용하여 경계선 방향을 얻는다. 세 번째로 블록 특성과 경계선 방향에 따라 방향성 형태학적 필터를 구한다. 형태학적 필터링은 영상내 존재하는 잡음을 제거하고, 표준 영상의 경우 인간이 시각적으로 느낄 수 없는 성분을 제거한다. 형태학적 필터링은 경계선 성분을 손실시키는 결과가 발생하지만, 제안한 알고리듬은 손실된 경계선 영역을 복원하는 과정을 거친다. 그러한 과정의 결과로, 전체적인 부호화 효율이 향상된다. 특히, 제안한 알고리듬을 적용한 표준영상의 경우, 약 50-50%의 비트 발생량이 줄어드는 결과를 나타내었다. 잡음 분산값을 달리하여 만든 잡음 영상에 제안한 방법을 적용한 결과, 영상의 선명도를 유지하였다. 제안한 알고리듬은 인간의 시각 특성을 고려한 미세한 잡음 제거 방법에서 우수한 성능을 나타내었으며, 영상의 선명도를 유지하는 것을 보여 주었다.

This paper proposes an efficient edge detection using Van der Waerden statistic in original and noisy images. An edge is where the intensity of an image moves from a low value to a high value or vice versa. We describe a nonparametric Wilcoxon test and a parametric T test based on statistical hypothesis testing for the detection of edges. We use the threshold determined by specifying significance level $\alpha$, while Bovik, Huang and Munson consider the range of possible values of test statistics for the threshold. From the experimental results of edge detection, the T and Wilcoxon method perform sensitively to the noisy image, while the proposed Waerden method is robust over both noisy and noise-free images under $\alpha$=0.0005. Comparison with our statistical test and Sobel, LoG, Canny operators shows that Waerden method perform more effectively in both noisy and noise-free images.
