The most important subject in developing agricultural robots for fruit harvesting is to detect accurately the location of a fruit about the given coordinate system. This study was carried out to develop an image processing algorithm which enables finding out the three dimensional locations of a fruit. The digital image processing device consisted of an optosensor (Closed-circuit TV camera), image processing interface board (Digitizer) and microcomputer (IBM PC/AT). A stereo-image processing method using the two cameras attached to the manipulator was evaluated through experiment with apples. The accuracy and quickness of detecting the location of apples by this method was not satisfactory. The maximum errors of the detected locations by the stereo-image processing method in x-, Y-, and z- directions were 3, 4 and 4 cm, respectively. The maximum time required to get the rectangular coordinate data of a fruit was about 2 minutes.

Intravascular ultrasound images of coranary artery contain very important informations on heart disease. The intimal contours on the image show informations and data to examine intravascular problems of patients. A new computation algorithm to detect the intimal and adventitial contours from the intravascular images was developed. An Image processing on gray level image was used. It uses arrays of pixels in each radial lines on the images. A "Robert" filter was adopted at first step for one dimensional image processing. Some other calculation techniques were developed to inclose the accuracy of automatically detected contours. The standard contour data to compare with automatically detected contour data were obtained through manually tracing by experienced cardiological medical doctors. The result of the new algorithm shows high accuracy of 80 % matching with the standard contour data.

This paper describes the development of on-line computer vision laboratories to teach the detailed image processing and pattern recognition techniques. The computer vision laboratories include distant image acquisition method, basic image processing and pattern recognition methods, lens and light, and communication. This study introduces a case study that teaches computer vision in distance learning environment. It shows a schematic of a distant loaming workstation and contents of laboratories with image processing examples. The study focus more on the contents of the vision Labs rather than internet application method. The study proposes the ways to improve the on-line computer vision laboratories and includes the further research perspectives

본 논문에서는 MPEG-7 비주얼 디스크립터를 기반으로 Digital Image의 효과적인 검색이 가능한 시스템의 개발하였다. MPEG-7에 포함되어 있는 비주얼 디스크립터 툴은 컬러, 텍스처, shape, motion, localization, 얼굴 인식 등을 포함한다. 이들 MPEG-7에서 제공하는 비주얼 디스크립터를 그대로 이용하여 Digital Image의 검색 시스템을 구현하기에는 시스템이 불필요하게 커질 수 있으며 Digital Image의 검색 성능이 그다지 높지 않다는 문제점이 발생한다. 구체적으로는 모든 디스크립터를 이용하여 데이터베이스에 존재하는 모든 Digital Imag에 대한 검색을 수행하기에는 많은 처리시간이 요구된다는 것과 어떠한 디스크립터를 이용해야 정확한 검색이 이루어질지 알 수 없기 때문이다. 이를 위해 본 논문에서는, MPEG-7 비주얼 디스크립터의 특성을 저작권위원회에서 제공받은 데이터베이스를 이용하여 분석하고 이들 디스크립터의 효과적인 결합 기술을 개발하였다. 기존의 디스크립터 결합 방식은 각각의 디스크립터에 동일한 가중치를 부여하고 검색을 수행하는 방식이었으나 본 논문에서는 정보이론을 기반으로 디스크립터의 가중치를 자동으로 부여하는 방식으로 검색 시스템을 구성하였다. 개발된 시스템은 기존의 동일한 가중치를 부여한 시스템에 비해서 데이터베이스에 대한 각 디스크립터의 특성을 반영하여 가중치를 결정하도록 구성하였다.

We have manufactured a photoresist which has excellent dispersity and good applying property due to 330cps of viscosity for environment-friendly and economical maskless screen plate making. And the photoresist applied on the screen stretched was exposed without mask by beam projector with CRT light source. Then it was developed by air spray with $1.7kgf/cm^2$ of injection pressure. The pencil hardness and solvent resistance of curing photoresist film were worse than those of conventional photoresist film and the maximum resolution of line image formed by maskless screen plate making was 0.5 mm since the exposure system for maskless plate making has weak light intensity and the diffusion of light. But we could obtain maskless screen plate which has sharp edges of line image and confirm a possibility of dry development process by air spray method.

This paper introduces a dual-arm robot painter system which is capable of sketching a camera-captured image with short line segments. To express various curved edges in the image by combining line segments, we first apply edge detection algorithm to the entire image, split the edged image into small boxed pieces, and then apply Hough Transformation to each piece so that the edges inside the piece can be approximated with short line segments. To draw the picture within a reasonable time, we designed a simple dual-arm robot system and controlled both arms concurrently according to linear interpolation algorithm. From the experiments, we could verify that simple linear motions can describe various images effectively with a unique brush style.

Endoscope image is the shape that a doctor sees inside of patient through endoscope. The characteristics of these images are much effected by the light source of endoscope, specially areas in short distance from a light have much light source and look clear, but areas in long distance from a light look dark relatively because of little light quantity. So we developed a new level adaptive image enhancer for the dark area in a endoscope image. The algorithm we made consists of three parts ; 1) Classification of histogram in segmented area 2) Smoothing and Adaptive Histogram Equalization 3) Adaptive Histogram Modification.

In this paper, we develop the on board type image processing system using the CMOS sensor and the RISC type main processor. The main processor transmits YUV 4:2:2 type raw data captured by a CMOS image sensor to another processor(such as motion controller, PC, etc) via serial communication (rs232, SPI, I2C, etc). The role of another processor is line and obstacle detecting in image data received from the image processing board developed in this paper.

An embedded system has been applied to many fields including households and industrial sites. The embedded system is implemented fur image tracking in security area. This system supports a fixed IP far the reliable server operation on TCP/IP networks. A real time video image on the is analyzed to detect a certain invader who jumped into the observed area. The digital camera is connected at the USB host port of the target board. The video images from the video camera is continuously analyzed and displayed at the Linux web-server. The moving vector of the invaders on the continuous image frames is calculated and then it sends the calculated pan/tilt movement. That used Block matching algorithm and edge detection algorithm for past speed. And the displacement vector is used at pan/tilt motor control through RS232 serial cable. The experiment result showed tracking performance by the moving part speed of 10 to 150 pixels/sec.

This paper proposes a new robust motion deblurring filter using the inertial sensor measurements for strapdown image IR applications. With taking the PSF measurement error into account, the motion blurred image is modeled by the linear uncertain state space equation with the noise corrupted measurement matrix and the stochastic parameter uncertainty. This motivates us to solve the motion deblurring problem based on the recently developed robust least squares estimation theory. In order to suppress the ringing effect on the deblurred image, the robust least squares estimator is slightly modified by adoping the ridge-regression concept. Through the computer simulations using the actual IR scenes, it is demonstrated that the proposed algorithm shows superior and reliable motion deblurring performance even in the presence of time-varying motion artifact.
