We present fast stereo matching algorithm using edge projection. Traditional stereo matching algorithm uses 2D template for the search of corresponding point thus it requires huge the computational cost. In this paper, we reduce the 2D search problem into 1D using edge projection along vertical and horizontal direction inside the region of interest. Also, by accumulation of edge projection along vertical and horizontal direction, the edge projection within the region of interest could simply be obtained by just subtracting two values. Experimental results show that matching algorithm using edge projection also gives comparable discriminating power compared to that of using intensity.

In this paper, We propose a new technique extract efficiently a car number plate based on edge projection. In order to obtain the region of car number plate, we use a motive that the luminance differences between the number plate background and characters. And, we introduce a projection technique to obtain character parts based on edge image. In vertical direction. we propose a shape matching method. Specially the new number plate standard has more characters than the old one in horizontal direction and, it is efficiently used to extract the number plate. Therefore, the proposed technique is useful to the new number plate standard. In simulation results. We have illustrated that our algorithm can recognize different number plates with a success ration of 90%.

In this paper, we propose a prgressive image transmission technique using hierarchical pyramid data structure which is constructed based on the projection data of an image. To construct hierarchical Gaussian pyramids, we first divide an image into 4$\times$4 subblocks and generate the projection data of each block along the horizontal, vertical, diagonal, and antidiagonal directions. Among images reconstructed by backprojecting the projection data along a single direction, the one giving the minimum distortion is selected. The Gaussian pyramid is recursively generated by the proposed algorithm and the proposed Gaussian images are shown to preserve edge information well. Also, based on the projection concept a new transmission scheme of the lowest Laplacian plane is presented. Computer simulation shows that the quantitative performance of the proposed pyramid coding technique using projection concept is similar to those of the conventional methods with transmission rate reduced by 0.1 ~ 0.2 bpp and its subjective performance is shown to be better due to the edge preserving property of a projection operation.

In this paper, we propose the method of lane and obstacle detection using edge and horizontal projection. we convert color image to gray image and detect edge. After lane detection using edge, we detect the obstacle using horizontal projection in the region of lane. The simulation shows that our method is able to detect lane and obstacle in the place of monotonous light.

In this paper, we propose an adaptive histogram projection technique for dynamic range compression and an efficient detail enhancement method which is enhancing strong edge while reducing noise. First, The high dynamic range image is divided into low-pass component and high-pass component by applying 'guided image filtering'. After applying 'guided filter' to high dynamic range image, second, the low-pass component of the image is compressed into 8-bit with the adaptive histogram projection technique which is using global standard deviation value of whole image. Third, the high-pass component of the image adaptively reduces noise and intensifies the strong edges using standard deviation value in local path of the guided filter. Lastly, the monitor display image is summed up with the compressed low-pass component and the edge-intensified high-pass component. At the end of this paper, the experimental result show that the suggested technique can be applied properly to the IR images of various scenes.

Recently, as the prevalence of high-performance mobile devices and the application of the multimedia content are expanded, Super Resolution (SR) technique which reconstructs low resolution images to high resolution images is becoming important. And in the mobile devices, the development of the SR algorithm considering the operation quantity or memory is required because of using the restricted resources. In this paper, we propose a new single frame fast SR technique suitable for mobile devices. In order to prevent color distortion, we change RGB color domain to HSV color domain and process the brightness information V (Value) considering the characteristics of human visual perception. First, the low resolution image is enlarged by the improved fast back projection considering the noise elimination. And at the same time, the reliable edge map is extracted by using the LoG (Laplacian of Gaussian) filtering. Finally, the high definition picture is reconstructed by using the edge information and the improved back projection result. The proposed technique removes effectually the unnatural artefact which is generated during the super resolution restoration, and the edge information which can be lost is amended and emphasized. The experimental results indicate that the proposed algorithm provides better performance than conventional back projection and interpolation methods.

In this paper, we propose a non-edge following method for linear programs. Unlike alledged poor performance of algorithms of this type, this method performs well at least with 25 randomly generated problems. This method is comparable to Rosen's gradient projection method as applied to the dual formulation. The latter is of general purpose, and no implementation rules are available for linear program applications. This paper suggests ways of finding improving dual feasible directions, and of allowing to move across the extreme faces of a higher dimension polyhedron. Rather simple computational rules are provided for projection operations needed at each iteration.

In this paper, we propose a web inspection system (WIS) for real-time detection of paper defects which can cause critical fractures during papermaking process. Our system incorporates high speed line-scan camera, lighting system, and detection algorithm to provide robust and precise detection of paper defects in real-time. Since edge defects are very crucial to the paper fractures, our system focuses on the edge region of the paper instead of inspecting the whole paper area. In our algorithm, image projection and sub-pixel operation are utilized to detect the edge defects precisely and connected component labeling and shape analysis techniques are adopted to extract various kinds of the region defects. Experimental results revealed that our web inspection system is very efficient for detecting paper defects during papermaking processes.

In this paper, we proposed a novel algorithm to detect the center of pupil in frontal view face. This algorithm, at first, extract an eye region from the face image using integral projection function and variance projection function. In an eye region, detect the center of pupil positions using circular hough transform with sobel edge mask. The experimental results show good performance in detecting pupil center from FERET face image.

Most commercial CCD/CMOS image sensors have CFA(Color Filter Array) where each pixel gathers light of a selective color to reduce the sensor size and cost. There are many algorithms proposed to reconstruct the original clolr image by adopting pettern recognition of regularization methods to name a few. However the resulting image still suffer from errors such as flase color, zipper effect. In this paper we propose an adaptive edge weight demosaicking algorithm that is based on POCS(Projection Onto Convex Sets) not only to improve the entire image's PSNR but also to reduce the edge region's errors that affect subjective image quality. As a result, the proposed algorithm reconstruct better quality images especially at the edge region.
