In this paper, we propose improved methods which are image conversion and extraction method of watershed seed using morphological characteristic of teeth on complement image. Conventional tooth segmentation methods are occurred low detection ratio at molar region and over, overlap segmentation owing to specular reflection and morphological feature of molars. Therefore, in order to solve the problems of the conventional methods, we propose the image conversion method and improved extraction method of watershed seed. First, the image conversion method is performed using RGB, HSI space of tooth image for to extract boundary and seed of watershed efficiently. Second, watershed seed is reconstructed using morphological characteristic of teeth. Last, individual tooth segmentation is performed using proposed seed of watershed by watershed algorithm. Therefore, as a result of comparison with marker controlled watershed algorithm and the proposed method, we confirmed higher detection ratio and accuracy than marker controlled watershed algorithm.

지금까지 많은 내용 기반 이미지 검색 방법들이 제안되고 있다. 이 시스템들은 각 시스템마다 다른 이미지 데이타를 이용하고, 다른 특징 추출방법에 따라 다른 특징 추출 데이타를 생성하므로, 각 시스템의 검색 성능을 비교 평가할 수가 없다 특히 웹상에서, 동일한 이미지 데이타를 서로 다른 사이트에 있는 내용 기반 이미지 검색 시스템에 적용하여 검색 성능을 비교 평가할 수 없는 문제점이 있다. 이와 같은 문제점을 해결하기 위해서, 각각의 특정한 검색시스템에서 생성된 특징 추출 데이타를 웹상의 다른 검색 시스템에서 인식할 수 있도록, XML 기반의 FEMAL을 제안한다. FEMAL을 이용한 실험에서, 특징 추출 데이타를 서로 통신하고 통합이 가능함을 보이고, 검색 성능의 비교 평가가 가능함을 보인다.

TM data, which have better resolution in spatial and spectral than MSS data, were used for this study, and several Image Processing Techniques (IPT) were examined for finding the best IPT to fit to lineament extraction and mineralized zone mapping. The Ryeongnam area was selected as test area, because the area is one of major mineralized zones in Korea and its hydrothermal alteration zone is wider and deeper than other areas. The spatial filtering method is most optimum one for limeament extraction: that is, the directional spatial filtering is most efficient to detect N-S, E-W direction lineaments on the image, and the high boost filtering can be applied for mapping all direction lineaments. The ratio method was selected for detecting altered zone. It is possible to make several tens combinations in ratio with 7 bands of TM data, but considering spectral characteristics of each band of TM to the geological meterials and vegetation, the band 4/band 3(A), band 5/band 7(B), and B/A ratio methods were chosen among them. The 5/7 ratio image did not show clearly the altered area due to noise from vegetation cover, so the 4/3 ratio imae was used for trying to decrease the effect of vegetation. As a result the B/A ratio image showed quite nicely the altered zone of the test area. In conclusion, the spatial filtering is the best image processing techniques for lineament mapping, and the B/A ratio image in TM data is useful for the mineralized zone mapping.

본 논문에서는 의용영상의 병소부위 특징을 추출하는 알고리즘을 제시하였다. 특징 추출을 위해 위장영상을 입력하여 DCT계수 행렬을 구하였다. DCT계수 행렬은 저주파 영역으로 에너지가 집중되기 때문에 저주파 영역에서 128개의 특징 파라미터를 추출하였다. 추출된 특징 파라미터를 이용하여 질환영상과 정상영상을 비교하여 그래프로 나타내었다. 특징 파라미터는 PACS의 차등압축과 CAD를 위한 입력 파라미터로 활용될 수 있을 것이다.

Many researches have been performed for human recognition and coding schemes recently. For this situation, we propose an automatic facial feature extraction algorithm. There are two main steps: the face region evaluation from original background image such as office, and the facial feature extraction from the evaluated face region. In the face evaluation, Genetic Algorithm is adopted to search face region in background easily such as office and household in the first step, and Template Matching Method is used to extract the facial feature in the second step. We can extract facial feature more fast and exact by using over the proposed Algorithm.

In this paper, we are concerned with a 3D line segment extraction method by area-based stereo matching technique. The main idea is based on line fitting of elevation data on 2D line coordinates of ortho-image. Elevation data and ortho-image can be obtained by well-known area-based stereo matching technique. In order to use elevation in line fitting, the elevation itself should be reliable. To measure the reliability of elevation, in this paper, we employ the concept of self-consistency. We test the effectiveness of the proposed method with a quantitative accuracy analysis using synthetic images generated from Avenches data set of Ascona aerial images. Experimental results indicate that our method generates 3D line segments almost 7.5 times more accurate than raw elevations obtained by area-based method.

In this paper, we have proposed the efficient algorithm that can segment the video scene change using a various statistical characteristics obtained from by applying the wavelet transformation for each frames. Our method firstly extracts the histogram features from low frequency subband of wavelet-transformed image and then uses these features to detect the abrupt scene change. Second, it extracts the edge information from applying the mesh method to the high frequency subband of transformed image. We quantify the extracted edge information as the values of variance characteristic of each pixel and use these values to detect the gradual scene change. And we have also proposed an algorithm how extract the proper key frame from segmented video scene. Experiment results show that the proposed method is both very efficient algorithm in segmenting video frames and also is to become the appropriate key frame extraction method.

In this paper, We proposed the stereo image modeling using 2-dimensional images captured by the high resolution cameras to inspect the ball defects of BGA(Ball Grid Array) device. The proposed algorithm consists of the package/ball area extraction part, the FOV(Field of View) calibration part, the top point matching part, and ball height measurement part, In the package/ ball area extraction part, the package and ball areas are separately extracted in a left and right image by the extraction algerian. Through the experiment, we draw out the result.

This paper proposes an new water mark embedding and extraction technique which extends the direct sequence spread spectrum technique. The proposed technique approximates the complexity of image and block in spatial domain using Laplacian filtering and watermark is adaptively embedded in the mid-frequency DCT components. Local parity bits are attached to higher-frequency DCT components and they are used to detect extraction errors and correct those errors. In extraction process the proposed method boosts the higher frequency components of image and extracts the watermark by demodulation and this information is verified and adjusted by parity bits. Experimental results show it is invisible and robust to several external attacks.

This paper describes extraction procedures for the center coordinates of steam generator tubes of Youngkwang nuclear power plant No. 6 unit. The centering coordinates of tubes are needed for monitoring whether ECT probe is exactly inserted into tube or not. However, The tube image tends to have poor contrast because steam generator bowl is sealed. The centering coordinates extraction procedure consists of two steps. The first step is to process the region with high contrast in entire image of steam generator tubes. Using the center points extracted in the first step and the geometry of tubes lined up in regular triangle patterns the centering coordinates of the rest region with low contrast...
