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.

This study was one of a series of studies on application of machine vision and image processing to extract the geometrical features of plants and to analyze plant growth. Several algorithms were developed to measure morphological properties of plants and describing the growth development of in-situ lettuce(Lactuca sativa L.). Canopy, centroid, leaf density and fractal dimension of plant were measured from a top viewed binary image. It was capable of identifying plants by a thinning top viewed image. Overlapping the thinning side viewed image with a side viewed binary image of plant was very effective to auto-detect meaningful nodes associated with canopy components such as stem, branch, petiole and leaf. And, plant height, stem diameter, number and angle of branches, and internode length and so on were analyzed by using meaningful nodes extracted from overlapped side viewed images. Canopy, leaf density and fractal dimension showed high relation with fresh weight or growth pattern of in-situ lettuces. It was concluded that machine vision system and image processing techniques are very useful in extracting geometrical features and monitoring plant growth, although interactive methods, for some applications, were required.

This Paper Proposes A Robust Image Stabilization System For A Mobile Robot Using An Extended Kalman Filter (Ekf). Though Image Information Is One Of The Most Efficient Data Used For Robot Navigation, It Is Subjected To Noise Which Is The Result Of Internal Vibration As Well As External Factors Such As Uneven Terrain, Stairs, Or Marshy Surfaces. The Camera Vibration Deteriorates The Image Resolution By Destroying The Image Sharpness, Which Seriously Prevents Mobile Robots From Recognizing Their Environment For Navigation. In This Paper, An Inclinometer Was Used To Measure The Vibration Angle Of The Camera System Mounted On The Robot To Obtain A Reliable Image By Compensating For The Angle Of The Camera Vibration. In Addition The Angle Prediction Obtained By Using The Ekf Enhances The Image Response Analysis For Real Time Performance. The Experimental Results Show The Effectiveness Of The Proposed System Used To Compensate For The Blurring Of The Images.

The purpose of this research was to identify the difference between expected and actual corporate image in the market and to verify the possibility of green-oriented corporate identity (CI) visual design as a useful method for communicating with consumers. In addition, this research suggests how green-oriented CI visual design can effectively convey corporate image to consumers. The methods of research used to achieve this aim were case studies and questionnaire surveys. In regard to the results, the difference between consumers'perceived favourable corporate image and companies' expectation about corporate image was found. Moreover, the results show that green-oriented visual identity (VI) design can improve corporate image. In turn, the gap between the expected and actual perception of corporate image can be decreased through green-oriented design. Based on these results, a method of effective development for green-oriented VI design is recommended.

예전의 영상처리 장비는 독립적으로 구현이 되었다고 하여도 단순히 디스플레이만 하는 정도였지만 현재 여러 가지 칩들의 발전으로 인한 그 응용에 있어 활용 범위가 다양해졌다. 본 연구에서는 아날로그 영상신호를 디지털로 컨버터 하여 PC없이 독립적으로 영상 데이터를 처리하는 시스템을 설계하고, 일반 아날로그 비디오 영상의 데이터에서 모션파라미터를 추출하여 시뮬레이터에 가상의 움직임을 만들어 낸다. 모션벡터를 추출하여 시뮬레이터를 구동하고, 영상 제어 알고리즘에 대하여 분석한다.

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

DNA Chip is able to show DNA-Data that includes diseases of sample to User by using complementary characters of DNA. So this paper studied Neural Network algorithm for Image data processing of DNA-chip. DNA chip outputs image data of colors and intensities of lights when some sample DNA is putted on DNA-chip, and we can classify pattern of these image data on user pc environment through artificial neural network and some of image processing algorithms. Ultimate aim is developing of pattern classifying algorithm, simulating this algorithm and so getting information of one's diseases through applying this algorithm. Namely, this paper study artificial neural network algorithm for classifying pattern of image data that is obtained from DNA-chip. And, by using histogram, gradient edge, ANN and learning algorithm, we can analyze and classifying pattern of this DNA-chip image data. so we are able to monitor, and simulating this algorithm.

Stereo PACS (Picture Archiving and Communication System) is not available yet because of some limitations of medical stereo image software and viewing devices. As a stereo PACS viewer, we designed two functions. One is selecting and viewing a multiplexed stereo image directly, and the other is selecting a stereo pair image (left and right sides both) and merging the stereo pair image into a multiplexed image in software. For the medical image compression of 3-D stereo endoscopic images, we used JPEG and Wavelet compression and to determine an acceptable compression rate using PSNR (Peak Signal-to-Noise Ratio). As a result, we got the conclusion that medically acceptable image compression rate should have the PSNR of above about 40[dB] (JPEG (5:1), Wavelet (10:1)).

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.

A purpose of this study was to find out how the casual and formal style clothes of stripe pattern giving variety by pattern direction, pattern width, and contrast coloration have an effect on image of wearers. 432 stimuli were made and 2,800 testee evaluated them using semantic differential scale. As a result, five image dimensions were drawn as a factor of attractiveness, activeness, gracefulness, visibility, and tenderness. In consequence of analysing the image difference by stripe pattern and clothing style, the stripe pattern and clothing style affect image presentation as a significant clue. And besides, as a result of positioning stimuli by image, pattern direction, coloration, and tone combination were important clues that decide image. Consequently, clothing style, stripe pattern, and contrast coloration were made clear as an efficient parameter in image presentation of clothing wearers.
