본 논문에서는 내용 기반의 화상 검색 시스템을 위한 화상 특징 추출을 고속으로 수행하기 위하여 TCP/IP 프로토콜을 사용하는 LAN 환경에서 유휴(Idle) PC들을 사용한 PC 클러스터에 관해 연구하였다. 실험에 사용한 화상 특징(Image feature)으로서는 칼라의 응집도를 사용하는 CCV(Color Coherence Vector), 화상의 엔트로피를 정량화한 PIM(Picture Information Measure), Gaussian-Laplacian 에지 검출 연산을 사용한 SEV(Spatial Edge Histogram Vector)로서 이들을 추출하기 위한 Task를 Master rude에서 Slave rude들로 전송하고, 연산에 사용 될 화상 데이터를 전송한 후 연산을 수행하고 결과를 다시 Master node로 전송하는 전통적인 Task-Farming형태의 PC Cluster를 구성하였다. 연산에 참여하는 클러스터 노드의 개수를 증가시키며 Task와 화상데이터를 전송하여 이에 따른 연산시간을 측정하고 비교하였다. 실험 결과는 유휴 PC들로 구성된 PC클러스터를 이용한 효율적인 내용기반의 화상 검색 시스템을 구성하기 위해 활용이 가능하다.

There is the high interest for sensing of tool wear with the aim of controlling machine tools productivity from the point of view of qualitity. Difficulties in this measurement are also known. This study is on the development of measurement setup for crater wear by CCD image inturning. In this study, the crater wear measurement system consists of the He-Ne gas laser, diffraction grating. CCD camera, noise filter, slit, microcomputer, diverging lens, converging lens and so on. He-Ne laser beam passes through a diverging lens and a diffraction grating is positioned properly. A converging lens focuses so that the interference fringes can be obtained on the crater wear. Performance test revealed that the developed image technique provides precise, absolute tool-wear quantification and reduces human measurement errors. The results obtained are as follows 1. The digitizing of one image requires less than 2ses. 2. It can give detailed information on crater wear with limited times and errors 3. All parameters required by specification are easily obtained for several points of the cutting edge.

Image-based survey can be performed for a floating structure using the hydraulic model tests and empirical methods. I extracted the frame images from a digital camcoder movies and found the corner points for image matching. In the future, we will try the movie acquisition in the improved lab environment for a precise result.

This paper presents the problem of automatically recognizing embossed or molded characters which are raised from the side wall on rubber tire. In the tire image objects have approximately the same gray-value as the background and because of the tire geometry, illumination of the surface is nonhomogenous. Therefore it is difficult to recognize the raised tire character. In this paper, for describing the process of processing three steps have been proposed: 1) MIN & MAX smoothing operation filter, 2) edge detection algorithm using modified laplacian operator, 3) noise rejection. Afterwards, segmentation is done to attain characters from tire image by projection method. The recognition of the characters in the segmented image is carried out by using multilayered neural network, which is insensitive to the noise.

This paper presents a method for registering images using phase correlation technique in fourier domain, hough transform and multi-resolution wavelet. To register images, source and input images are transformed to wavelet domain. An angular transition can be obtained by applying hough transform technique followed by phase correlation. Then we apply phase correlation technique to find x-axis and y-axis transition. We apply wavelet transform to reduce processing time and also use its coefficients as edge information instead of canny detector. With multi-resolution property of wavelet transform, registration time can be greatly reduced. After we get all transition parameters, we transform the input images according to these parameters. Then, we compose and blend all images into a new large image with details of all source images. From our experiment, we can find the accurate transition both x-y translation and angular transition with less error.

In this paper, we propose a new method for content-based retrieval system using wavelet transform and correlation, which has were used in signal processing and image compressing. The matching method is used not perfect matching but similar matching. Used feature vector is the lowest frequency(LL) itself, energy value, and edge information of 4-layer, after computng a 4-layer 2-D fast wavelet transform on image. By the proosed algorithm, we got the result that was faste rand more accurate than the traditional algorithm. Because used feature vector was compressed 256:1 over original image, retrieval speed was highly improved. By using correlation, moving object with size variation was reterieved without additional feature information.

This paper presents a super-resolution reconstruction method based on sparse representation for two-dimensional bar code images. Considering the features of two-dimensional bar code images, Kirsch and LBP (local binary pattern) operators are used to extract the edge gradient and texture features. Feature extraction is constituted based on these two features and additional two second-order derivatives. By joint dictionary learning of the low-resolution and high-resolution image patch pairs, the sparse representation of corresponding patches is the same. In addition, the global constraint is exerted on the initial estimation of high-resolution image which makes the reconstructed result closer to the real one. The experimental results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm for two-dimensional bar code images by comparing with other reconstruction algorithms.

Histogram is a very useful method on various practical aspect. With increasing importance of simple calculation method and convenience, it became the basic method in digital image processing nowadays. However, basic limit of using histogram is losing spatial position information of pixels on image. This paper reanalyzes image by presenting histogram with spatial position information(spatial histogram). Also using that result, level order recursive median filter is realized. Presented recursive median filter showed much improved results on edge maintenance aspect compared to existing recursive median filter.

Any classification process using SAR images presupposes the reduction of multiplicative speckle noise, since the variations caused by speckle make it extremely difficult to distinguish between neighboring classes within the feature space. This paper focus an argument of effective filter for preserving the weak boundaries by using the proposed method. To reduce speckle noise without blurring the edges of reconstructed image use wavelet-based sigma filter. As a result, the edge information of reconstructed image reduce blurring. Simulation results show that proposed method gives a better subjective quality than conventional methods for the speckle noise.

본 논문에서는 새로운 형태 특징값으로서 형태 correlogram을 제안하고 이를 기반으로 한 효과적인 내용기반 영삼검색(content-based image retrieval) 방법을 제시한다. 기존읜 색상 correlogram은 색상 정보에 공간적인 정보를 부여함으로써 영상검색 성능을 향상시켰다. 그러나 이 특징값은 형태 정보를 포함하고 있지 않아서 색상이 다르면서 비슷한 윤곽선 형태를 갖는 물체의 검색에는 좋은 효과를 보이지 못한다.이 문제를 해결하기 위해 예지(edge)들의 correlogram인 형태(shape) correlogram을 제안한다. 색상 correlogram이 색상들의 거리에 따른 상관관계를 나타내는데 반해 형태 correlogram은 에지 각도들의 상관관게를 나타낸다. 형태 correlogram은 gradient 축과 각도 축을 가지는 2차원 특징 벡터(feature vector)로 표현된다. 각 축은 24개 빈(bin)으로 나뉘어져서 총 576개의 원소를 가지게 된다. 또한 본 논문에서는 형태 correlogram의 데이터 크기를 줄이고, 회전에 대해 불변인 특성을 가지게 하기 위해 투영(projected) 형태 correlogram을 제안한다. 실험결과를 통하여 본 논문에서 제안한 형태 correlogram과 투영 형태 correlogram을 사용한 영상검색 방법이 기존의 방법보다 성능면에서 우수함을 입증한다.
