In order to generate high-resolution products using UAV images, it is necessary to analyze the sharpness of the themselves measured through image analysis. When images that have unclear sharpness of UAV are used in the production, they can have a great influence on operations such as acquisition and mapping of accurate three-dimensional information using UAV. GRD (Ground Resolved Distance) has been used as an indicator of image clarity. GRD is defined as the minimum distance between two identifiable objects in an image and is used as a concept against the GSD (Ground Sampling Distance), which is a spatial sample interval. In this study, GRD is extracted by analyzing the edge target without visual analysis. In particular, GRD to GSD ratio (GRD/GSD), or GRD expressed in pixels, is used as an index for evaluation the relative image sharpness. In this paper, GRD is calculated by analyzing edge targets at various altitudes in various shooting environments using a rotary wing. Using GRD/GSD, it was possible to identify images whose sharpness was significantly lowered, and the appropriateness of the image as an image clarity index was confirmed.

This paper proposes an abstraction mechanism of the low-level digital video features for the automatic retrievals of the explosion scenes from the digital video library. In the proposed abstraction mechanism, the regional dominant colors of the key frame and the motion energy of the shot are defined as the primary abstractions of the shot for the explosion scene retrievals. It is because an explosion shot usually consists of the frames with a yellow-tone pixel and the objects in the shot are moved rapidly. The regional dominant colors of shot are selected by dividing its key frame image into several regions and extracting their regional dominant colors, and the motion energy of the shot is defined as the edge image differences between key frame and its neighboring frame. The edge image of the key frame makes the retrieval of the explosion scene more precisely, because the flames usually veils all other objects in the shot so that the edge image of the key frame comes to be simple enough in the explosion shot. The proposed automatic retrieval algorithm declares an explosion scene if it has a shot with a yellow regional dominant color and its motion energy is several times higher than the average motion energy of the shots in that scene. The edge image of the key frame is also used to filter out the false detection. Upon the extensive exporimental results, we could argue that the recall and precision of the proposed abstraction and detecting algorithm are about 0.8, and also found that they are not sensitive to the thresholds. This abstraction mechanism could be used to summarize the long action videos, and extract a high level semantic information from digital video archive.

In this paper, we present the design of modular replaceable AI server for image deep learning that separates the server from the Edge Device so as to drive the AI block and the method of data transmission and reception. The modular replaceable AI server for image deep learning can reduce the dependency between social robots and edge devices where the robot's platform will be operated to improve drive stability. When a user requests a function from an AI server for interaction with a social robot, modular functions can be used to return only the results. Modular functions in AI servers can be easily maintained and changed by each module by the server manager. Compared to existing server systems, modular replaceable AI servers produce more efficient performance in terms of server maintenance and scale differences in the programs performed. Through this, more diverse image deep learning can be included in robot scenarios that allow human-robot interaction, and more efficient performance can be achieved when applied to AI servers for image deep learning in addition to robot platforms.

In this paper, this program which is Retrieval System using Image Gray-scale histogram and Edge features is used to reduce the errors incurred by inputting methods which are used in a current Retrieval System. The Retrieval Algorithm is proceeding with several steps which are extracting features of images quality, extracting edge features and refining images, analysing extracted features, retaining important information from analyzed features, retrieving retained information from database, extracting and comparing among images from retrieved database. The proposed Retrieval System is used for a fast retrieval with accuracy and it is confirmed through simulations.

This paper presents a new method of 3-D surface feature extraction using a quadratic pol expression. With a range image, we get an edge map through the modified scan line technique this edge map, we label a 3-dimensional object to divide object's region and extract cent corner points from it's region. Then we determine whether the segmented region is a planar or a curved from the quadric surface equation. we calculate the coefficients of the planar su the curved surface to represent regions. In this article. we prove performance of the metho synthetic and real (Odetics) range images.

Pantograph sliding plate abrasion auto-detect system, one of the electric rail car auto-detecting devices, is a system that decides how much abrasion and when to replace without an inspector physically looking at the abrasion on the wet plate using machine vision, a cutting-edge technology. This paper covers the cause of deteriorating reliability that affects pantograph wet plate edge detection due to noise added to the video when it rains. In order to remove such noise, problems should be checked through Smoothing, Averaging mask and Median filter using filtering technique and stable edge detection without being affected by noise should be induced in video measurement used in machine vision technology.

While hyperspectral data are very rich in information, their processing poses several challenges such as computational requirements, noise removal and relevant information extraction. In this paper, the application of advanced scale-space filtering to selected hyperspectral bands was investigated. In particular, a pre-processing tool, consisting of anisotropic diffusion and morphological leveling filtering, has been developed, aiming to an edge-preserving smoothing and simplification of hyperspectral data, procedures which are of fundamental importance during feature extraction and object detection. Two scale space parameters define the extent of image smoothing (anisotropic diffusion iterations) and image simplification (scale of morphological levelings). Experimental results demonstrated the effectiveness of the developed scale space filtering for the enhancement and smoothing of hyperspectral remote sensing data and their advantage against watershed over-segmentation problems and edge detection.

In this paper, we propose a technique for drowsiness detection using the histogram and edge information of eyes. The drowsiness of vehicle drivers is the main cause of many vehicle accidents. Therefore, the checking of eye images in order to detect the drowsiness status of a driver is very important for preventing accidents. In our suggested method, we analyze the changes of the histograms and edges of eye region images, which are acquired using a CCD camera. The experimental results show that our proposed method enhances the accuracy of detecting drowsiness to nearly 99%, and can be used for preventing vehicle accidents caused by the driver's drowsiness.

The inverse halftoning is processing to restore the image made binary to former step image. There are smoothing and gaussian filtering in the technique so far. However, there are still a lot of insufficient points in past inverse halftoning. The removal of the noise and the edge enhansment are closely related in inverse halftoning. It is difficult to do both the noise rednctiom and the edge enhansment in high accuracy at the same time in the technique so far. The technique that can achieve both the removal of the noise and the emphasis of Edge at the same time is expected as future tasks. Then, it was tried to apply the Kalmann filtering to inverse halftoning. In the actual experiment, the effectiveness of the application of the Kalmann filtering to inverse halftoning comparing it with the technique so far was shown.
