The process of extracting external boundary of an object is a very important process for recognizing an object in the image. The proposed extraction method consists of two processes: External Boundary Extraction and Thinning. In the first step, external boundary extraction process separates the region representing the object in the input image. Then, only the pixels adjacent to the background are selected among the pixels constituting the object to construct an outline of the object. The second step, thinning process, simplifies the outline of an object by eliminating unnecessary pixels by examining positions and interconnection relations between the pixels constituting the outline of the object obtained in the previous extraction process. As a result, the simplified external boundary of object results in a higher recognition rate in the next step, the object recognition process.

We use edge detection technique for the input image to extract the entire edges of the object in the image and then select only the edges that construct the outline of the object. By examining the positional relation between these pixels composing the outline, a simplified version of the outline of the object in the input image is generated by removing unnecessary pixels while maintaining the condition of connection of the outline. For each pixel constituting the outline, its direction is calculated by examining the positional relation with the next pixel. Then, we group the consecutive pixels with same direction into one and then change them to a line segment instead of a point. Among those line segments composing the outline of the object, a line segment whose length is smaller than a predefined minimum length of acceptable line segment is removed by merging it into one of the adjacent line segments. As a result, an outline composed of line segments of over a certain length is obtained through this process.

This paper presents a new method to extract traffic information such as number of passing vehicles and average speed by a pair of stereo road images. The whole process consists of the extraction of vehicles and the tracking of the extracted vehicles. For the extraction of vehicles, the outline of each vehicle is obtained by using binary region growing technique applied to disparity map based on multi-resolution stereo matching. The Kalman filter tracking algorithm is applied to the extracted vehicle outlines to determine the flow of vehicles. Experimental results show that the proposed method significantly improved recognition rate of vehicles over the conventional methods-frame difference and background elimination methods.

Recently the use of Laser Projector is ascending world-widely to make the best effiencies out of the various events & commercials. To produce fixed image through Laser projector, at least 24 times/sec of iteration is required. In this view, its performance is much influenced by coordinates extraction method for high-speed controlling. This paper basically introduces the way of inputting coordinates by extraction directly from outline rather than indicating size and directions of image's outline coordinates which used by renowned US company 'L' and etc.

본 논문에서는 CT 영상에서 스네이크 알고리즘과 파티클 필터를 이용한 뼈 영역 추출 방법을 제안한다. 스네이크 알고리즘을 이용하여 뼈 외곽선을 추출하고, 이 외곽선을 따라서 파티클 필터를 움직여 가면서 뼈 영역을 추출한다. 뼈 외곽선 주위에 다른 뼈가 근접해 있는 경우에 스네이크 알고리즘이 뼈 외곽선을 완벽하게 추출하지 못할 수 있는데, 이때에 파티클 필터가 이러한 오류를 보완해가면서 뼈 영역을 추출한다. 본 논문에서 제안한 방법을 기존의 형태학적 처리를 이용한 방법과 비교한 결과, 추출하고자 하는 뼈 영역 주위에 다른 뼈가 근접해 있지 않은 경우에는 비슷한 결과를 보였지만, 다른 뼈가 근접해 있는 경우에는 본 논문에서 제안한 방법의 정확도가 높음을 알 수 있었다.

얼굴 추출은 휴먼 인터페이스와 생체 인식 및 보안을 위해 매우 중요한 분야이다. 본 논문에서는 동영상에서 얼굴의 윤곽선을 추출하기 위해, DCM(Dilation of Color and Motion)필터와 동적 윤곽선 모델(Active Contour Model) 적용한다. 먼저, 본 논문에서 제안된 DCM 필터는 모폴로지의 팽창 연산이 적용된 얼굴 색상영상과 차영상을 결합하고 이를 다시 팽창한 것으로 동영상에서 복잡한 배경을 제거하고 얼굴 영역을 검출하기 위해 사용된다. 동적 윤곽선 모델은 초기 곡선에 영향을 많이 받으므로, 얼굴과 눈, 입의 기하학적인 비율을 이용하여 회전정도를 구한 후, 이를 이용하여 초기 곡선을 자동으로 설정한다. 에지가 약한 부분에서의 윤곽선 추출을 위해, 스네이크의 영상에너지로 에지영상과 밝기영상을 함께 사용하였다. 복잡한 배경이 있는 실내 환경에서 총 5명으로부터 양 눈이 보이는 다양한 헤드 포즈 영상을 25장씩 샘플링하여 총 125장에 대해 실험한 결과, 얼굴 윤곽선의 평균 추출률은 98.1%, 평균 처리시간은 0.2초로 나타났다.

Digital topographic map in Korea contains layers of spatial and attribute data for 8 land features such as railroads, watercourses, roads, buildings and etc. Some of the layers such as building and forest don't include any information about height, which can be just prepared by interpretation of remote sensed data or field survey. LiDAR(Light Detection And Ranging) data using active pulse and digital camera provides data about height and form of land features. LiDAR data can be used not only to extract the outline of land features but also to estimate the height. This study presents technical availability for extraction and estimation of land feature's outline and height using LiDAR data which composes of natural and artificial land features, and digital aerial photograph which was taken simultaneously with the LiDAR. The estimated location, outline and height of land features were compared with the field survey data, and we could find that LiDAR data and digital aerial photograph can be a useful source for estimating the height of land features as well as extracting the outline.

The conventional hand-crafted features used to track objects have limitations in object representation. Convolutional neural networks, which show good performance results in various areas of computer vision, are emerging as new ways to break through the limitations of feature extraction. CNN extracts the features of the image through layers of multiple layers, and learns the kernel used for feature extraction by itself. In this paper, we use the feature map extracted from the convolution layer of the convolution neural network to create an outline model of the object and use it for tracking. We propose a method to adaptively update the outline model to cope with various environment change factors affecting the tracking performance. The proposed algorithm evaluated the validity test based on the 11 environmental change attributes of the CVPR2013 tracking benchmark and showed excellent results in six attributes.

Due to the development of video and optical technology today, video equipments are being used in a variety of fields such as identification, security maintenance, and factory automation systems that generate products. In this paper, we investigate an algorithm that effectively recognizes an experimental object in an input image with a partial problem due to the mechanical problem of the input imaging device. The object recognition algorithm proposed in this paper moves and rotates the vertices constituting the outline of the experimental object to the positions of the respective vertices constituting the outline of the DB model. Then, the discordance values between the moved and rotated experimental object and the corresponding DB model are calculated, and the minimum discordance value is selected. This minimum value is the final discordance value between the experimental object and the corresponding DB model, and the DB model with the minimum discordance value is selected as the recognition result for the experimental object. The proposed object recognition method obtains satisfactory recognition results using only partial information of the experimental object.

Recently, various methods to effectively eliminate the noise are researched in image processing techniques. However, the conventional noise filtering techniques, which remove most of the noise, are less efficient for remained noise detection after filtering due to exploiting no face feature information. In this paper, we proposed a feature vector generation technique in the mouth region by distinguishing and revising the remained noise through gradient correction, when the outline is extracted after performing noise filtering.
