Recently, 3D contents used in various fields have been attracting people's attention due to the development of virtual reality and augmented reality technology. In order to produce 3D contents, it is necessary to model the objects as vertices. However, high-quality modeling is time-consuming and costly. In order to convert a 2D character into a 3D model, it is necessary to express it as line drawings through feature line extraction. The extraction of consistent line drawings from 2D cartoon cartoons is difficult because the styles and techniques differ depending on the designer who produces them. Therefore, it is necessary to extract the line drawings that show the geometrical characteristics well in 2D cartoon shapes of various styles. This study proposes a method of automatically extracting line drawings. The 2D Cartoon shading image and line drawings are learned by using adversarial network model, which is artificial intelligence technology and outputs 2D cartoon artwork of various styles. Experimental results show the proposed method in this research can be obtained as a result of the line drawings representing the geometric characteristics when a 2D cartoon painting as input.

We aimed to build a patient-based allergy prevention system using the smartphone and focused on the region of interest (ROI) extraction method for Optical Character Recognition (OCR) in the general environment. However, the current ROI extraction method has shown good performance in the experimental environment, but the performance in the real environment was not good due to the noisy background. Therefore, in this paper, we propose the compared methods of reducing noisy background to solve the ROI extraction problem. There five methods used as a SMF, DIN, Denoising Autoencoder(DAE), DAE with Convolution Neural Network(DAECNN) and median filter(MF) with DAECNN (MF+DAECNN). We have shown that our proposed DAECNN and MF+DAECNN methods are 69%, respectively, which is relatively higher than the conventional DAE method 55%. The verification of performance improvement uses MSE, PSNR and SSIM. The system has implemented OpenCV, C++ and Python, including its performance, is tested on real images.

This paper proposed a new algorithm for binarization and removal of noises in color images with characters and pictures. Binarization was performed by threshold which had computed with color-relationship relative to the number of pixel in background and character candidates and pre-threshold for dividing of background and character candidates in input images. The pre-threshold has been computed by the histogram of R, G, B In respect of the images, while background and character candidates of input images are divided by the above pre-threshold. As it is possible that threshold can be dynamically decided by the quantity of the noises, and the character images are maintained and the noises are removed to the maximum. And, in this study, we made the noise pattern table as a result of analysis in noise pattern included in the various color images aiming at removal of the noises from the Images. Noises included in the images can figure out Distribution by way of the noise pattern table and pattern matching itself. And then this Distribution classified difficulty of noises included in the images into the three categories. As removal of noises in the images is processed through different procedure according to the its classified difficulties, time required for process was reduced and efficiency of noise removal was improved. As a result of recognition experiments in respect of extracted characters in color images by way of the proposed algorithm, we conformed that the proposed algorithm is useful in a sense that it obtained the recognition rate in general documents without colors and pictures to the same level.

The hybrid neural networks have characteristics such as fast learning times, generality, and simplicity, and are mainly used to classify learning data and to model non-linear systems. The middle layer of a hybrid neural network clusters the learning vectors by grouping homogenous vectors in the same cluster. In the clustering procedure, the homogeneity between learning vectors is represented as the distance between the vectors. Therefore, if the distances between a learning vector and all vectors in a cluster are smaller than a given constant radius, the learning vector is added to the cluster. However, the usage of a constant radius in clustering is the primary source of errors and therefore decreases the recognition success rate. To improve the recognition success rate, we proposed the enhanced hybrid network that organizes the middle layer effectively by using the enhanced ART1 network adjusting the vigilance parameter dynamically according to the similarity between patterns. The results of experiments on a large number of calling card images showed that the proposed algorithm greatly improves the character extraction and recognition compared with conventional recognition algorithms.

자연영상이나 스팸메일 영상으로부터 텍스트 영역을 추출하고 추출한 텍스트 영역에 이진화를 수행하고 나면 가로 방향이나 세로획 방향으로 놓여 있는 "1" 그리고 "ㅡ" 에 해당하는 한글의 종성부분이 이미지 내의 잡영을 지울 때 종종 지워지는 결과를 볼 수 있다. 이렇게 지워진 획 부분을 되살리기 위한 방법으로 텍스트 Hinting 알고리즘을 제안한다. 텍스트 Hinting 알고리즘은 이진화된 이미지의 텍스트 픽셀 위치와 동일한 좌표에 해당하는 원본 이미지의 RGB 값을 추출하여 추출된 텍스트 후보 영역의 색상을 알아낸다. 추출된 텍스트 색상 레이어 이미지와 이진화된 이미지에 OR연산을 수행하게 되면 지워진 획 부분을 복원할 수 있다. 제안한 방법을 스팸 이미지에 적용한 결과 텍스트 추출결과를 획기적으로 개선할 수 있음을 보였다.

세금계산서나 영수증등의 형식문서를 처리하기 위해서는 일반문서와는 달리 형식문서에서 인식의 대상이 되는 특정 셀에 대한 추출이 필요하다. 본 논문에서는 정형화된 형식문서에서 원하는 특정 셀의 내용만을 추출하는 방법을 제시하고자 한다. 제안된 방법은 지정된 셀을 이루고 있는 라인을 제거하는 것과, 라인제거시 손상된 문자를 복원하는 과정으로 나뉜다. 우선 라인들의 평균적인 두께를 구한 후 라인을 트레이스(trace)하면서 이 두께 범위내에 있는 라인은 지운다. 트레이스하는 과정에서 두께보다 큰 라인은 문자와 접촉된 것으로 판단하여 이 접촉된 좌표를 저장한 후 미리 정의된 접촉유형을 이용하여 문자의 복원 작업을 수행한다.

In this paper, we develop the Automatic Number Plate Recognition (ANPR) System. ANPR is generally composed of the following four steps: i) The acquisition of the image; ii) The extraction of the region of the number plate; iii) The partition of the number and iv) The recognition. The second and third steps incorporate image processing technique. We propose to resolve this by using Partial Differential Equation(PDE) based segmentation method. This method is computationally efficient and robust. Results indicate that our methods are capable to recognize the plate number on difficult situations.

This paper describes a top-down behavior planning framework in a simulation game from personality to real life action selection. The combined behavior creating system is formed by five levels of specification, which are personality definition, motivation extraction, emotion generation, decision making and action execution. Along with the data flowing process in our designed framework, NPC selects actions autonomously to adapt to the dynamic environment information resulting from active agents and human players. Furthermore, we illuminate applying Gaussian probabilistic distribution to realize character's behavior changeability like human performance. To elucidate the mechanism of the framework, we situated it in a restaurant simulation game.

만화 제작에 있어 시나리오 뿐 만 아니라 등장 인물(캐릭터)의 개발이 중요한 부분을 차지하고 있으므로 새로운 캐릭터 창작을 쉽게 개발하기 위한 방법의 일환으로 기존 인물 영상의 특징을 초대한 고려한 윤곽선을 추출하여 이를 캐릭터 개발에 활용할 수 도 있을 것이다. 이런 목적으로 지금까지 영상의 윤곽선 추출방법들이 많이 제안되었으나 대부분은 그레이 레벨 영상을 이진 영상으로 변환한 후 윤곽선을 추출하는 과정에서 정보의 손실이 발생할 수도 있으며 불필요한 잡영이 추가될 수 있었다. 본 논문은 이런 단점을 보완하기 위해 그레이 레벨 영상에서 직접 윤곽선을 추출하려는 시도로서, 전처리 과정에서는 local averaging으로 잡영을 줄인 후 Prewitt 연산자를 이용하여 에지를 검출하고, 윤곽선 추출에 적합하도록 기존의 지형적 특징 할당 방법을 수정하여 적용한 중간 결과에 대해 직선화 과정으로 잡음들을 제거하여 최종 윤곽선을 구한다.
