The importance of software is getting high in development of the digital device (digital camcoder, digital camera, mp3 player, ....). And because the sire of software becomes larger and complicated, the necessity of software configuration management (to solves a software crisis) is increased. The general software configuration management system shows lack of the property and features of software development environment for image processing algorithm due to its wide range to be covered. Image processing algorithm development environment has properties like repetitive analysis and simulation using visual programming environment where, beside support of elementary development functions. component(or library) can be combined and tested interactively. Moreover, the method to look fast and effectively for component having similar function is required. In this paper, we present the system which supports the software configuration management method for a simulation tool and the property in the visual programming environment. And we relate our system to real simulation tool so as to check its ability as the software configuration management system for image processing algorithm development environment.

Hybrid robust image processing algorithm to extract visual features of melon during the cultivation was developed based on a wireless tele-operative interface. Features of a melon such as size and shape including position were crucial to successful task automation and future development of cultivation data base. An algorithm was developed based on the concept of hybrid decision-making which shares a task between the computer and the operator utilizing man-computer interactive interface. A hybrid decision-making system was composed of three modules such as wireless image transmission, task specification and identification, and man-computer interface modules. Computing burden and the instability of the image processing results caused by the variation of illumination and the complexity of the environment caused by the irregular stem and shapes of leaves and shades were overcome using the proposed algorithm. With utilizing operator's teaching via LCD touch screen of the display monitor, the complexity and instability of the melon identification process has been avoided. Hough transform was modified for the image obtained from the locally specified window to extract the geometric shape and position of the melon. It took less than 200 milliseconds processing time.

With the wide-spread use of multimedia technology, the demand for the image processing engineer is increasing in various fields. But there are few engineers who can develop practical applications in the image processing area. To teach practical image processing techniques, we need an integrated education environment which can efficiently present the image processing theory and, at the same time, provide interactive experiments for the theory presented. In this paper, we propose an integrated education environment for the image processing, which is called MTES. It consists of the theory presentation systems and the experiment systems. The theory presentation systems support multimedia data, web document and Microsoft Powerpoint$^{TM}$ file. It is tightly integrated with the experiment systems which are developed based on the integrated image processing algorithm development system, called Hello-Vision.n.

This paper presents a computer image processing system, which measures the thickness of the ALC block and inspects the defect on a real-time basis. The Image processing system was established with a CCD camera, an image grabber, and a personal computer without using assembled measurement equipment. The image obtained by the system was analyzed by a devised algorithm, specially designed for the enhanced measurement accuracy. For the realization of proposed algorithm, the pre-processing method that can be applied to overcome uneven lighting environment, and threshold decision method, and subpixel method are developed. from the experimental results, we could find that the required measurement accuracy specification is sufficiently satisfied using our proposed method.

This research intended to study a vehicle detection method for traffic volume, speed, stoping, parking activity, etc. using real time image processing and to propose the more accurate, environment adaptive image processing algorithm. The new method was compared with an existing commercialized image processing system, 'A' Product, for performance reliability tests. Also, the new method improved and developed the comparative advantage image processing algorithm. With regard to the test results, the algorithm over-counted one more vehicle, while 'A' product missed four vehicles during the test period. The first test results were used to improve the performance of this algorithm, and it's performance was improved though the second test in various and complicated traffic environment to yield superior performance.

A three-dimensional digital image processing technique is proposed to quantitatively predict the dispersion phenomena of oil droplet onto the surface of the water. This technique is able to get the dispersion rate of an oil droplet three-dimensionally just below the surface of the water over time. The obtained dispersion rate obtained through this technique is informative to the investigation into the relationship among the gravity, surface tensions between oil, water, and air. This technique is based upon the three-dimensional PIV(Particle Imaging Velocimetry) technique and its system mainly consists of a three CCD(Charge Coupled Device) cameras, an image grabber, and a host computer in which an image processing algorithm is adopted for the acquisition of dispersion rate oil an oil droplet.

The difficulties in implementing of image processing algorithms are a major reason for the lack of research into algorithm comparison. This fact makes an image processing research with difficult. We conclude that it is important to represent algorithms in form of reusable code. Since current image processing systems do not fulfill all requirements we must pose on reusable implementations, we propose to solve the reuse problem by applying generic programming. We define two dimensional iterators, which mediate between image processing algorithms and their underlying data structures, so that the same algorithm implementation can be applied to any number of different image formats. The elegance and efficiency of this approach is illustrated by a number of useful examples and demonstrated by porting in existing image processing algorithm IDE(Integrated Development Environment).

We presents an edge-based point correlation algorithm for fast and stable visual inspection system. Conventional algorithms based on NGC(normalized gray-level correlation) have to overcome some difficulties in applying automated inspection systems to real factory environment. First of all, NGC algorithms involve highly complex computation and thus require high performance hardware for realtime process. In addition, lighting condition in realistic factory environments is not stable and therefore intensity variation from uncontrolled lights gives many troubles for applying NGC directly as pattern matching algorithm. We propose an algorithm to solve these problems, using thinned and binarized edge data, which are obtained from the original image. A point correlation algorithm with the thinned edges is introduced with image pyramid technique to reduce the computational complexity. Matching edges instead of using original gray-level image pixels overcomes problems in NGC method and pyramid of edges also provides fast and stable processing. All proposed methods are proved by the experiments using real images.
