In this paper, I propose an automatic background extraction method and continuous background updating technique. Because there is a movement of a vehicle and a change of a background is feeble, the area moving through the time axis is looked for and a background and a vehicle image is divided. A way to give dynamically the threshold which divides the image frame into a vehicle image and the background in a space is enforced. Through the repetition of the above-mentioned process, the background pictorial image is gained. Using the karlman filter technique, the update is done so that a background image can obey a climate situation and an environmental change in day and night. A background image processed algorithm is better than the existent one. Through simulation, the feasibility of the algorithm has been verified.

Pattern recognition in three dimensional image is highly sensitive to assigned value and formation of voxels (pixels for two dimension case). However, occurred while digital imaging, digitization error leads to unpredictable noises in image data. Skeletonization, a powerful tool of pattern recognition, is sensitively dependent on boundary formation. Without successful controlling of the noises, the results of skeletonization can not be allowed as a stable solution. To minimize the effect of noises affecting to boundary formation, we developed a robust processing method useful in skeletonization technique for pattern recognition. Finally, we provide rigorous test results achieved throughout simulation on analytic three dimensional image.

An image can be largely corrupted by the ambient illuminant, so that the image enhancement to restory natural color without respect to the ambient illuminant is needed. It this paper, a new color image enhancement technique based on color constancy is proposed. To enhance the image quality, higher volues of contrast and saturation are preferred, but their excessive values make an image unnatural. Since the color constancy processing preserves only hue, while reducing the dynamic range of lightness and saturation,the technique is needed in order to compensate this phenomenon. The proposed method transforms and increases lightness and saturation simultaneously to avoid the complexity in the related transformation by analyzing the relationship between the RGB and modified IHS coordinate system.

The image processing system consisted of the microcomputer IBM PC-XT and the graphic board (16 gray level and $640{\times}400$ pixels resolution) has been proposed, and the image processing softwares programmed in the BASIC and in the assembler language have been developed. The programs are consisted of the main menu and the sub menu, that have contained the subroutine for the capture for image data, the determination of region, the histogram, the change of value, the montage, the skeleton, the mask, the moving, the zoom, the disk access and the print. For the application, the photoelastic fringe data have been captured and analyzed. It was seen that the programs are available for the image processing.

Retinex-based image enhancement is a technique that utilizes the property that the human visual characteristics are sensitive to the difference from the surrounding pixel value rather than the pixel value itself. These Retinex-based algorithms show different characteristics of the improved image depending on the applied color space or gamma correction. In this paper, we set eight different experimental conditions according to the application of color space and gamma correction, and analyze the objective and subjective performance of each Retinex based image enhancement algorithm and apply it to the implementation of Retinex based algorithm. In the case of gamma correction, quantitative low entropy images and low contrast images are obtained. The application of Retinex technique in HSI color space rather than RGB color space is found to be high in overall subjective image quality as well as maintaining color.

Image compression is a fundamental technique in the field of digital image processing, which will help to decrease the storage space and to transmit the files efficiently. Recently many deep learning techniques have been proposed to promise results on image compression field. Since many image compression techniques have artifact problems, this paper has compared two deep learning approaches to verify their performance experimentally to solve the problems. One of the approaches is a deep autoencoder technique, and another is a deep convolutional neural network (CNN). For those results in the performance of peak signal-to-noise and root mean square error, this paper shows that deep autoencoder method has more advantages than deep CNN approach.

Many of non-contact measuring systems are used to estimate surface characteristics owing to their advantages of high speed and undanaged test. In this paper, a new measuring system is proposed to acquire image from CCD camera through back light illumination. Lowpass filter is very useful in view of noise removal and optimum binary image can be made through histogram equalization which is one of the histogram technique to maximize brightness intensity between workpiece and background. Laplacian operator is used to detect workpiece edge from binary image. In case of image treatment applying Laplacian operator, surface roughness is calculated by introducing conversion coefficient for coordinate of pixel which edge is composed of. In summary, the work is concerned with the development of a new technique for roughness measurement by the image processing in turning.

Quantitative information of a three dimensional(3D) kinematics of joint is very useful in knee joint surgery, understanding how knee kinematics related to joint injury, impairment, surgical treatment, and rehabilitation. In this paper, an automated 2D/3D image matching technique was developed to estimate the 3D in vivo knee kinematics using dual X-ray images. First, a 3D geometric model of the knee was reconstructed from CT scan data. The 3D in vivo position and orientation of femoral and tibial components of the knee joint could be estimated by minimizing the pixel by pixel difference between the projection images from the developed 3D model and the given X-ray images. The accuracy of the developed technique was validated by an experiment with a cubic phantom. The present 2D/3D image matching technique for the estimation of in vivo joint kinematics could be useful for pre-operative planning as well as post-operative evaluation of knee surgery.

Image Guided Surgery(IGS) system has been developed to provide exquisite and objective information to surgeons for surgical operation process. It is necessary that registration technique is important to match between 3D image model reconstructed from image modalities and the object operated by surgeon. Majority techniques of registration in IGS system have been used by recognizing fiducial markers placed on the object. However, this method has been criticized due to its invasive protocol inserting fiducial markers in patient's bone. Therefore, shape-based registration technique using geometric characteristics of the object has been invested to improve the limitation of IGS system. During Total Knee Replacement(TKR) operation, it is challenge to register with high accuracy by using shape-based registration because the area to acquire sample data from knee is limited. We have developed region-based 3D registration technique based on anatomical landmarks on the object and this registration algorithm was evaluated in femur model. It was found that region-based algorithm can improve the accuracy in 3D registration. We expect that this technique can efficiently improve the IGS system.

본 논문에서는 구면 영상에서 영역 분할 정보를 사용하여 바닥 영역을 검출하는 방법을 제시한다. 평면 영상에서의 Watershed 영역 분할 방법을 수정하여 구면 영상의 영역 분할에 적용할 수 있도록 하였다. 영역들을 분할한 뒤 가정된 바닥 영역 픽셀의 색상과 질감을 그 외의 영역들과 비교하여 바닥 영역을 검출한다. 구면 파노라마 영상에서는 구면 왜곡으로 인하여 평면에서의 바닥 검출 방법을 그대로 적용할 수 없다. 구면 왜곡을 고려한 바닥 영역 검출을 위하여 바닥 영역의 외곽선을 검출하는 알고리즘을 설계하였다. 실험에서 지상물이 없는 경우와 있는 경우의 모두에서 적절하게 바닥 영역을 검출할 수 있는 결과를 보였다.
