In this paper vector code correlation(VCC) method and an algorithm to promote the image processing performance in building an effective measurement system using cameras are described for automatically berthing and controlling the ship equipped with side thrusters. In order to realize automatic ship berthing, it is indispensable that the berthing assistant system on the ship should continuously trace a target in the berth to measure the distance to the target and the ship attitude, such that we can make the ship move to the specified location. The considered system is made up of 4 apparatuses compounded from a CCD camera, a camera direction controller, a popular PC with a built in image processing board and a signal conversion unit connected to parallel port of the PC. The object of this paper is to reduce the image processing time so that the berthing system is able to ensure the safety schedule against risks during approaching to the berth. It could be achieved by composing the vector code image to utilize the gradient of an approximated plane found with the brightness of pixels forming a certain region in an image and verifying the effectiveness on a commonly used PC. From experimental results, it is clear that the proposed method can be applied to the measurement system for automatic ship berthing and has the image processing time of fourfold as compared with the typical template matching method.

This research attempts to suggest a detecting method for cutting position of an object using the neural network, which is one of intellectual methods, and the digital image processing method. The extraction method of object information using the image data obtained from the CCD camera as a replacement of traditional analog sensor thanks to the development of digital image processing. Accordingly, this research determines the threshold value in binary-coding of an input image with the help of image processing method and the neural network for the real-time gray-leveled input image in substitution for lighting; as a result, a specific position is detected from the processed binary-coded image and an actual system designed is suggested as an example.

단편적인 의미를 지니는 각각의 영상들보다 이들 영상의 내용을 함축적으로 내포하는 하나의 영상으로 표현하는 것이 많은 효과를 제시하고 있다. 이 상황에 적용되는 기술이 ‘모자이크’이다. ‘모자이크’라고 하는 것은 여러 영상들 중에서 중복되는 영역들을 제거하여 각각의 영상들을 하나의 복합된 새로운 영상으로 생성하는 것이다. 본 연구는 다 영상에 의한 모자이크 시스템을 개발한다. 시스템은 장면분할, 모자이크 영상의 생성으로 구분된다. 장면분할에서는 동영상인 비디오 데이터들을 연속된 시간 내에서 유사한 영상들끼리의 묶음으로 구분하고, 모자이크 영상의 생성은 분할된 장면 안의 모든 프레임을 한 영상으로 구성한다

본 논문에서는 내용 기반 영상 검색 시스템(Content Based Image Retrieval System)의 특징 추출(feature extraction)과 분석(analysis)을 위한 방법으로 적응적 컴포넌트 분석(ACA: Adaptive Component Analysis)을 제안하고 있다. 검색을 위해서 영상에서 추출된 특징들은 영상의 도메인(domain)에 따라 적절하게 적용해야만 좋은 검색 결과를 얻을 수 있다. 이러한 조건을 만족시키기 위한 방법으로 본 논문에서는 검색 측정도(retrieval measurement)를 제안하고 있다. ACA는 알고리즘과 시스템적인 관점에서 볼 때, 기존의 내용 기반 영상 검색을 위한 중간 단계라고 할 수 있으며, 검색 속도향상 및 성능 개선에 목표를 두고 있다

The development of a new experimental method is required to easily observe the growth behavior of fatigue cracks. To satisfy the requirement, an image processing technique was introduced to fatigue testing. The length of surface fatigue crack could be successfully measured by the image processing system. At first, the image data of cracks were stored into the computer while the cyclic loading was interrupted. After testing, crack length was determined using image processing software which was developed by ourselves. Block matching method was applied to the detection of surface fatigue cracks. By comparing the data measured by image processing system with the data measured by manual measurement with a microscope, the effectiveness of the image processing system was established. If the proposed method is used to monitor and observe the crack growth behavior automatically, the time and efforts for fatigue test could be dramatically reduced.

Content based image retrieval is increasingly gaining popularity among image repository systems as images are a big source of digital communication and information sharing. Identification of image content is done through feature extraction which is the key operation for a successful content based image retrieval system. In this paper content based image retrieval system has been developed by adopting a strategy of combining multiple features of shape, color and relevance feedback. Shape is served as a primary operation to identify images whereas color and relevance feedback have been used as supporting features to make the system more efficient and accurate. Shape features are estimated through second derivative, least square polynomial and shapes coding methods. Color is estimated through max-min mean of neighborhood intensities. A new technique has been introduced for relevance feedback without bothering the user.

An image obtained from a low light environment results in a low-exposure problem caused by non-ideal camera settings, i.e. aperture size and shutter speed. Of particular note, the multiple color-filter aperture (MCA) system inherently suffers from low-exposure problems and performance degradation in its image classification and registration processes due to its finite size of the apertures. In this context, this paper presents a novel method for the color enhancement of low-exposure images and its application to color shift model-based MCA system for image refocusing. Although various histogram equalization (HE) approaches have been proposed, they tend to distort the color information of the processed image due to the range limits of the histogram. The proposed color enhancement algorithm enhances the global brightness by analyzing the basic cause of the low-exposure phenomenon, and then compensates for the contrast degradation artifacts by using an adaptive histogram specification. We also apply the proposed algorithm to the preprocessing step of the refocusing technique in the MCA system to enhance the color image. The experimental results confirm that the proposed method can enhance the contrast of any low-exposure color image acquired by a conventional camera, and is suitable for commercial low-cost, high-quality imaging devices, such as consumer-grade camcorders, real-time 3D reconstruction systems, digital, and computational cameras.
