This paper propose a extracting method of the region for image using segmentation and edge information. First propose algorithm extract information using canny edge detector and the image was divided by watershed segmentation. And it extract the mage with edge information by merging region. Finally we compare the proposed method with levelset method. In the result proposed method not only extract the image with accurate region but also reduce operation time.

Fluid Implicit Particle (FLIP) method is used in Visual Effect(VFX) industries frequently because FLIP based simulation show high performance with good visual quality. However in large-scale fluid simulations, the efficiency of FLIP method is low because it requires many particles to represent large volume of water. In this papers, we propose a novel hybrid method of simulating fluids to supplement this drawback. To improve the performance of the FLIP method by reducing the number of particles, particles are deployed inside thin layers of the inner surface of water volume only. The coupling between less-disspative solutions of FLIP method and viscosity solution of level set method is achieved by introducing a new surface reconstruction method motivated by surface reconstruction method[1] and moving least squares(MLS) method[2]. Our hybrid method can generate high quality of water simulations efficiently with various multiscale features.

This paper presents a multi-phase fluid simulation that realistically represents small scale details. We achieve this by creating escaped particles based on physical methods. Escaped particles are the remained particles after correcting levelset. Generation of escaped particles in this paper differs from previous works; this fluid simulation is extended by adding lift force and drag force to positive escaped particles. And negative escaped particles represent droplet or splash effect; when they are merged into the negative levelset value, they affect the nodes' velocity (two-way coupling). This simulation that uses positive and negative escaped particles deals with detailed fluid motions dynamically in small scale.

This paper presents a new variational framework for detecting and tracking moving objects in image sequence. Motion detection is performed using Level Set Model. The original frame is used to provide th moving object boundaries Then, the detection and the tracking problem are addressed in a common framework that employs a inward-outward curve evolution function. This function is minimized using a gradient decent method.

This work is concerned with a geometric inverse problem in fluid mechanics. The aim is to reconstruct an unknown obstacle immersed in a Newtonian and incompressible fluid flow from internal data. We assume that the fluid motion is governed by the Stokes-Brinkmann equations in the two dimensional case. We propose a simple and efficient reconstruction method based on the topological sensitivity concept. The geometric inverse problem is reformulated as a topology optimization one minimizing a least-square functional. The existence and stability of the optimization problem solution are discussed. A topological sensitivity analysis is derived with the help of a straightforward approach based on a penalization technique without using the classical truncation method. The theoretical results are exploited for building a non-iterative reconstruction algorithm. The unknown obstacle is reconstructed using a levelset curve of the topological gradient. The accuracy and the robustness of the proposed method are justified by some numerical examples.

In this paper, we develop the Automatic Number Plate Recognition (ANPR) System. ANPR is generally composed of the following four steps: i) The acquisition of the image; ii) The extraction of the region of the number plate; iii) The partition of the number and iv) The recognition. The second and third steps incorporate image processing technique. We propose to resolve this by using Partial Differential Equation(PDE) based segmentation method. This method is computationally efficient and robust. Results indicate that our methods are capable to recognize the plate number on difficult situations.

This paper describes a technique for detecting the boundary of the optic disk in digital image of the retina using inward and outward curve evolution. Optic disk boundary offers medical information about glaucoma progresses. For accurate boundary detection, image inpainting based on PDE removes blood vessels crossing the optic disk. For removing noises and preserving boundary of optic disk in image inpainting process, the anisotropic diffusion filtering is developed. After pre-processing, the optic disk boundary is determined using inward and outward curve evolution. Experimental results show that blurring effect of original region and optic disk boundary is reduced considerably. By the proposed method, we can detect correct disk boundary compare to conventional method.
