Edge detection is the first step and very important step in image analysis. We cast edge detection as a problem in cost minimization. This is achieved by the formulation of a cost function that evaluates the quality of edge configurations. The cost function can be used as a basis for comparing the performances of different detectors. This cost function is made of desirable characteristics of edges such as thickness, continuity, length, region dissimilarity. And we use a simulated annealing algorithm for minimum of cost function. Simulated annealing are a class of adaptive search techniques that have been intensively studied in recent years. We present five strategies for generating candidate states. Experimental results(building image and test image) which verify the usefulness of our simulated annealing approach to edge detection are better than other operator.

In this study, composite laminate cantilever type cylindrical shells with edge-stiffeners are analyzed. A versatile 4-node flat shell element which is useful for the analysis of shell structures is used. An improved flat shell element is established by the combined use of the addition of non-conforming displacement modes and the substitute shear strain fields. Two models by load conditions are considered. Load type A and B are loaded by point load at the free edge and line load respectively. A various parameter examples are presented to obtain proper stiffened length and stiffened thickness of edge-stiffeners. It is shown that the thickness of shell can be reduced minimum 30% by appropriate edge-stiffeners.

In this paper. the characteristics of mechanical behaviour due to various edge-ratio of uniformly loaded clamped skew-~plates has been described. In this study, the skew-plate was discretized using 8-noded isoparametric element and Mindlin's plate theory was adapted in finite element formulation. The edge-ratio 0.5,0.8,1.0,1.2,1.5,2.0 and 2.5 were considered. Hence, five cond- itions of the skew-angle, the seven levels of edge ratio were tried. When the edge-ratio was 2.5 or the edge-ratio was 2.0 and the skew-angle was less than 45 degree, the behaviour of the uniformly loaded the skew-plate with all edges clamped was independent of the skew-angle.

The purpose of reverse engineering design using 3D measurement data is an accurate reconstruction of real body. In oder to accomplish this object, it is important that creating exact extracting edges should be studying out first of all. This study used edge-based method to find out edge point from the measuring point data. The characteristics are analysed using the mean curvature block method on the fitting NURBS curve and defined edges through block removal condition. The results showed that only using the NURBS curve of maximum curvature analysis to define correct edge of real geometry is limited, but this segmentation approach provides simplified necessary condition for edge classification, and an effectiveness to classify a straight line, curves and fillets etc.

The stationary discontinuous armatures that are used in permanent magnet linear synchronous motors (PM-LSMs) have been proposed as a driving source for transportation systems. However, the stationary discontinuous armature PM-LSM contains the outlet edges which always exist as a result of the discontinuous arrangement of the armature. For this reason, the high alteration of the outlet edge cogging force produced between the armature's core and the mover's permanent magnet when a mover passes the boundary between the armature's installation part and non-installation part has been indicated as a problem. Therefore, we have examined the outlet edge cogging force by installing the auxiliary teeth at the armature's outlet edge in order to minimize the outlet edge cogging force generated when the armature is arranged discontinuously. Moreover, we obtained the calculation by analyzing the shape of the auxiliary teeth in which the outlet edge cogging force is minimized the most.

There are many methods to describe the importance of a node, centrality, in a graph. In this paper, we focus on the eigenvector centrality. In this paper, an analytical method to estimate the difference of centrality with an additional edge in a graph is proposed. In order to validate the analytical method to estimate the centrality, two problems, to decide an additional edge that maximizes the difference of all centralities of all nodes in the graph and to decide an additional edge that maximizes the centrality of a specific node, are solved using three kinds of random graphs and the results of the estimated edge and observed edge are compared. Though the estimated centrality difference is slightly different from the observed real centrality in some cases, it is shown that the proposed method is effective to estimate the centrality difference with a short running time.

In this paper, we propose an efficient edge preserving smoothing filter for Infrared image that can reduce noise while preserving edge information. Infrared images suffer from low signal-to-noise ratio, low edge detail information and low contrast. So, detail enhancement and noise reduction play crucial roles in infrared image processing. We first apply a guided image filter as a local analysis. After the filtering process, we optimization globally using relativity of guided image filter. Our method outperforms the previous methods in removing the noise while preserving edge information and detail enhancement.

Cracks in railway sleeper are an inevitable condition and has a significant influence on the safety of railway system. Although the technology of railway sleeper condition monitoring using machine learning (ML) models has been widely applied, the crack recognition accuracy is still in need of improvement. In this paper, a two-stage method using edge detection and convolutional neural network (CNN) is proposed to reduce the burden of computing for detecting cracks in railway sleepers with high accuracy. In the first stage, the edge detection is carried out by using the 3×3 neighborhood range algorithm to find out the possible crack areas, and a series of mathematical morphology operations are further used to eliminate the influence of noise targets to the edge detection results. In the second stage, a CNN model is employed to classify the results of edge detection. Through the analysis of abundant images of sleepers with cracks, it is proved that the cracks detected by the neighborhood range algorithm are superior to those detected by Sobel and Canny algorithms, which can be classified by proposed CNN model with high accuracy.

The edge, a discontinuity or abrupt change in the gray-level or color, is a fundamentally important primitive feature of an image necessary for the image analysis and classification. Two-dimensional 3x3 compass gradient operators (ex. Sobel, Prewitt, and Kirsch operators)are commonly used in the edge detection and usually detect 8 compass directional components. In this paper, we present a new interpretation of the relationships between the resulting 8 gradient magnitudes and the 8 intensity values of neighboring pixels which are covered by the two-dimensional 3x3 mask. It is expected that a new gradient edge operator may be designed by changing the eigenvalues in the transform domain and the fast optical edge operator may be implemented by using the optical system.

Edge AI 기술은 자동차, 가전, 스마트폰 등 우리 주변의 다양한 기기에 탑재되어 있다. Edge AI 를 구동하는 프로세서는 여러 종류로 나뉘는데, 대표적으로 저성능의 Microprocessor와 고성능 Microcomputer로 분류할 수 있다. 그중에서도 Microprocessor는 메모리와 저장 용량이 작아 Edge AI 를 구동하기 위한 빅 데이터를 메모리와 저장공간에 저장할 수 없기 때문에 통신을 사용하여 다른 기기로부터 데이터를 받아 연산을 수행해야 한다. 하지만 Microprocessor에서 통신은 빅 데이터와 같은 숫자로 이루어진 값을 전송하는 데에만 사용되는 것이 아니다. 디버깅이나 Processor의 정보 표시 등 문자열을 함께 사용하는 경우가 많은데, 문자열과 숫자 데이터를 함께 주고받으면 빅데이터와 같은 많은 데이터를 전송할때 시간이 오래 걸린다는 문제가 있다. 본 논문에서는 Edge AI에서의 빅데이터를 빠르게 전송할 수 있는 방법을 제안한다.
