The extraction of distinct points such as corner points and circular features is a basic procedure in digital photogrammetry and computer vision. This paper describes the extraction of image features from the raw images (gray value images), especially Forstner interest corner points. The mathematical model of the Forstner interest operator as well as the behavior in the presence of noise are investigated. Experiments with real images prove the feasibility of the Forstner interest operator in the field of Digital Photogrammetry.

In order to activate the characteristics of charcoal in fiber systems, this was carried out to experiment with the particle size from two micrometers to ten micrometers of charcoal powders on cotton fabrics. The results obtained were as follows; The fabrics were dyed with gray colors by charcoal. The K/S values, that were indicative of the dye affinity, became higher as the increase of dyeing temperature, dyeing time, and dyeing concentration. Also it was confirmed the morphology of the fiber surfaces adsorbed with the particle size from two micrometers to four micrometers of charcoal powder by scanning electronmicronscope. The cotton fabrics dyed by charcoals generally recorded 3-4 degree of wash fastness, 4-5 degree of dry-cleaning fastness, 4-5 degree acidic and alkaline perspirations and water fastness. In connection with the functional properties, cotton fabrics dyed with charcoal appeared that antibacterial, deodorization, far infrared emissivity were improved. Especially the deodorization was improved greatly by using charcoal.

Median filter(MF) has often been applied to color or gray images as a noise fiilter in image processing . Application of MF to binary images was tried in this study. For binary images, MF not only can remove noise but can also work as an indicator showing the dominant color in a region which is called window . Fro example, MF can be used to categorize clusters and to detect interested parts of an object. In other words, MF can also be used to remove unnecessary parts. The function of MF can be intensified by introducing a thresholding value, which is determined by the size of the interested part of an object. This improved MF for binary images is called the modified median filter(MMF), and its applicability to grade produce will be discussed in this paper.

This paper proposes a new gray-level image segmentation method using GA(genetic algorithm) and an ACA(adaptive clustering algorithm). The solution in the general GA can be moving because of stochastic reinsertion, and suffer from the premature convergence problem owing to deficiency of individuals before finding the optimal solution. To cope with these problems and to reduce processing time, we propose the new GBR algorithm and the technique that resolves the premature convergence problem. GBR selects the individual in the child pool that has the fitness value superior to that of the individual in the parents pool. We resolvethe premature convergence problem with producing the mutation in the parents population, and propose the new method that removes the small regions in the segmented results. The experimental results show that the proposed segmentation algorithm gives better perfodrmance than the ACA ones in Gaussian noise environments.

In our study, by observing and analyzing normal liver in abdominal CT image, we estimated gray value range and generated binary image. In the binary image, we achieved the number of hole which is located between pixels. Depending on the ratio, we processed the input image to 4 kinds of mesh images to remove the noise part that has the different ratio. With the Union image of 4 kinds of mesh images, we generated the template representing general outline of liver and subtracted from the binary image so the we can represent the organ boundary to be minute. With results of proposed method, processing time is reduced compared with existing method and we compared the result image to manual image of medical specialists.

In this paper, we propose an automatic method which combines two or more images acquired by camera on the air-vehicle into a larger image mosaics. The shift, scaling, rotation factors between two images can be calculated by using the correspondences between the points of the images. In order to estimate these factors, we find the relative positions of two images with respect to each other by using the SIFT descriptor and the RANSAC algorithm. After estimating the factors, the images can be merged into a single image mosaic by warping the target image. To avoid seams when mosaics are constructed from overlapped images, we apply the average gray level value of points within a overlapped zone. We have tested our proposed method on various image sets and have confirmed that our method produced good result subjectively.

A low cost lighting system for line-scan cameras has been developed with 3-phase power. When exposure time of line-scan camera is shorter than fluctuation period of illumination, the average gray value of each acquired 1-D image varies. Detecting defects on the objects's surface under such illuminating environment is very difficult. The proposed lighting system is composed of low-cost fluorescent lights based on 3-phase power. The specially designed lighting pack and the properly selected lighting position enable to get the rippleless lighting. The principle of the proposed lighting system has been explained analytically. The lighting system has been tested for fabric inspection with line-scan camera and it's efficacy has been proved.

Segmentation of image data is an important problem in computer vision, remote sensing, and image analysis. Most objects in the real world have textured surfaces. Segmentation based on texture information is possible even if there are no apparent intensity edges between the different regions. There are many existing methods for texture segmentation and classification, based on different types of statistics that can be obtained from the gray-level images. In this paper, we use a neural network model --- ART-2 (Adaptive Resonance Theory) for textures in an image, proposed by Carpenter and Grossberg. In our experiments, we use Walsh matrix as feature value for textured image.

We present a method for detecting very weak radiation by analyzing the inner structure of irradiated tris (lyoluminescence) materials using electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) at low temperature. Organic materials have been looked into for use in emergency dosimetry of inhabitants around radiation accidents. However, this technology has never been applied to imperceptible radiation doses (< 0.5 Gy) because there is no proper method for detecting the change of inner structure of the subject bombed by very weak radiation at room temperature. Our results show that tris materials can be applied as a radiation detectors of very small radiation doses below 0.05 Gray, if EPR is used at low temperature (130 K ${\leq}$ T ${\leq}$ 270 K). The EPR signal intensity from the irradiated-tris sample had barely faded at all after 1 year.

In this paper, we propose a method for skin condition analysis using a camera module embedded in a smartphone without a separate skin diagnosis device. The type of skin disease detected in facial image taken by smartphone is acne, pigmentation, blemish and flush. Face features and regions were detected using Haar features, and skin regions were detected using YCbCr and HSV color models. Acne and flush were extracted by setting the range of a component image hue, and pigmentation was calculated by calculating the factor between the minimum and maximum value of the corresponding skin pixel in the component image R. Blemish was detected on the basis of adaptive thresholds in gray scale level images. As a result of the experiment, the proposed skin condition analysis showed that skin diseases of acne, pigmentation, blemish and flush were effectively detected.
