A computer-vision based pipe-inspection algorithm is developed. The algorithm uses the modified Hough transformation and a line-scanning approach to identify the edge line and the radius of the pipe image, from which the eccentricity and dimension of the pipe-end is calculated. Line and circle detection was performed using Laplace operator with input image, which are acquired from the front and side cameras. In order to minimize the memory usage and the processing time, a clustering method with the modified Hough transformation is introduced for line detection. The dimension of inner and outer radius of pipe is calculated by the proposed line-scanning method. The method scans several lines along the X and Y axes, calculating the eccentricity of inner and outer circle, by which pipes with wrong end-shape can be classified and removed.

본 논문은 스마트폰 영상의 실시간 눈동자 검출에서 허프 원 변환 연산의 연산량 축소를 통한 속도 및 검출율 개선 방법을 제안한다. 눈동자를 검출하기 위해서는 입력 영상에서 얼굴과 눈을 검출하고, 눈 영역의 크기에 따라 눈동자의 크기가 변하는 것을 방지하기 위해 일정크기로 눈 영역을 정규화하며, 다양한 조명환경에서 눈동자가 검출이 가능하도록 히스토그램 평활화를 실시하고, 눈의 양쪽 끝점간의 거리를 구하여 영상에서의 실제 눈동자의 크기를 포함할 수 있는 최소한의 눈동자 크기 범위를 계산하여 허프 원 변환에 적용함으로써 연산량을 최소화 하였다. 제안한 방법을 밝은 조명과 어두운 조명에서 실험한 결과 기존 방법들과 비교하여 눈동자 검출 속도는 40% 이상, 검출율은 14% 이상 향상된 것을 보였다.

본 연구는 입력 영상에서 교통 신호등을 검출하고, 신호등의 색상을 인식하며, 신호를 판별하여 무인 자율주행 차량이나 ITS(Intelligent Transportation System)에 적용할 수 있는 신호등 색상 인식 알고리즘을 제안하였다. 제안된 알고리즘은 교통신호등을 검출하기 위해 CEA(Canny Edge Algorithm)를 이용하여 외곽선을 추출하였고, 신호등의 색상을 인식하고 정확도를 높이기 위하여 HCT(Hough Circle Transform)를 적용하였다. 제안된 방법으로 주행도로상에서 획득한 스트림 영상에 적용한 결과, 우수한 신호등 색상 인식률을 확인할 수 있었다. 특히 입력영상에서 신호등이 존재할만한 ROI(Region Of Interest)로 구분하여 연산시간을 줄일 수 있었고, 신호등과 유사한 영역이라도 원이 검출되지 않거나 HSV 공간에서 V값이 낮아 후보영역에서 탈락시킴으로써 인식률의 정확도를 높일 수 있었다.

Recently, there has been an increasing demand for computer-vision based inspection and/or measurement system as a part of factory automation equipment. Existing manual inspection method can inspect only specific samples and has low measuring accuracy as well as it increases working time. Thus, in order to improve the objectivity and reproducibility, computer-aided analysis method is needed. In this paper, front and side profile inspection and/or data transfer system are developed using computer-vision during the inspection process on three kinds of pipes coming from a forming line. Straight line and circle are extracted from profiles obtained from vision using Laplace operator. To reduce inspection time, Hough Transform is used with clustering method for straight line detection and the center points and diameters of inner and outer circle are found to determine eccentricity and whether good or bad. Also, an inspection system has been built that each pipe's data and images of good/bad test are stored as files and transferred to the server so that the center can manage them.

In this paper, a precision landing approach is implemented based on real-time image processing. A full-scale landmark for automatic landing is used. canny edge detection method is applied to identify the outside quadrilateral while circular hough transform is used for the recognition of inside circle. Position information on the ground landmark is uplinked to the unmanned helicopter via ground control computer in real time so that the unmanned helicopter control the air vehicle for accurate landing approach. Ground test and a couple of flight tests for autonomous landing approach show that the image processing and automatic landing operation system have good performance for the landing approach phase at the altitude of $20m{\sim}1m$ above ground level.

Circle detection has long been studied as one of fundamental image processing applications. It is used in divers areas including industrial inspection, medial image analysis, radio astronomy data analysis, and other object recognition applications. The most widely used class of circle detection techniques is the circle Hough transform and its variants. Management of 3 dimensional parameter histogram used in these methods brings about spatial and temporal overheads, and a lot of studies have dealt the problem. This paper proposes a robust circle detection method using maximal symmetry property of circle. The basic idea is that if perpendicular bisectors of pairs of edges are accumulated in image space, center of circle is determined to be the location of highest accumulation. However, directly implementing the idea in image space requires a lot of calculations. The method of this paper reduces the number of calculations by mapping the perpendicular bisectors into parameter space, selecting small number of parameters, and mapping them inversely into image space. Test on 22 images shows the calculations of the proposed method is 0.056% calculations of the basic idea. The test images include simple circles, multiple circles with various sizes, concentric circles, and partially occluded circles. The proposed method detected circles in various situations successfully.

Recently, there has been an increasing demand for computer-vision-based inspection and/or measurement system as a part of factory automation equipment. In general, it is almost impossible to check the fault of all parts, coming from part-feeding system, with only manual inspection because of time limitation. Therefore, most of manual inspection is applied to specific samples, not all coming parts, and manual inspection neither guarantee consistent measuring accuracy nor decrease working time. Thus, in order to improve the measuring speed and accuracy of the inspection, a computer-aided measuring and analysis method is highly needed. In this paper, a computer-vision-based pipe inspection system is proposed, where the front and side-view profiles of three different kinds of pipes, coming from a forming line, are acquired by computer vision. And the edge detection is processed by using Laplace operator. To reduce the vision processing time, modified Hough transform is used with clustering method for straight line detection. And the center points and diameters of inner and outer circle are found to determine eccentricity of the parts. Also, an inspection system has been built so that the data and images of faulted parts are stored as files and transferred to the server.
