We have developed m innovative surface inspection system for automated quality control for steel products in POSCO. We had ever installed the various kinds of surface inspection systems, such as a linear CCD and a laser typed surface inspection systems at cold rolled strips production lines. But, these systems cannot fulfill the sufficient detection and classification rate, and real time processing performance. In order to increase detection and classification rate, we have used the Dark, Bright and Transition Field illumination and area type CCD camera, and fur the real time image processing, parallel computing has been used. In this paper, we introduced the automatic surface inspection system and real time image processing technique using the Object Detection, Defect Detection, Classification algorithms and its performance obtained at the production line.

SVM is a machine learning method used for image processing. It is well known for its high classification performance. We have to perform multiple MAC operations in order to use SVM for image classification. However, if the resolution of the target image or the number of classification cases increases, the execution time of SVM also increases, which makes it difficult to be performed in real-time applications. In this paper, we propose an hardware architecture which enables real-time applications using SVM classification. We used parallel architecture to simultaneously calculate MAC operations, and also designed the system for several feature extractors for compatibility. RBF kernel was used for hardware implemenation, and the exponent calculation formular included in the kernel was modified to enable fixed point modelling. Experimental results for the system, when implemented in Xilinx ZC-706 evaluation board, show that it can process 60.46 fps for $1360{\times}800$ resolution at 100MHz clock frequency.

In general, the quality of agricultural products is determined by direct measurement of a weight or a magnitude, and it is determined by indirect or non-destructive method. In this paper, using color image processing, the algorithm to determine its quality and grading is presented. And the algorithm is applied to real-time citrus classifier. In the system, the size and color of orange are measured by not the sight of human but the digital image processing. The citrus classification system has the real-time maximum classification capacity of six quantify per one second. The system can be applied to controller design for the quality classification of agricultural products.

Real-time image georeferencing is required to generate spatial information rapidly from the image sequences acquired by multi-sensor systems. To complement the performance of position/attitude sensors and process in real-time, we should employ on-line aerial triangulation based on a sequential estimation algorithm. In this study, we thus attempt to derive an efficient on-line aerial triangulation algorithm for real-time georeferencing of image sequences. We implemented on-line aerial triangulation using the existing Given transformation update algorithm, and a new inverse normal matrix update algorithm based on observation classification, respectively. To compare the performance of two algorithms in terms of the accuracy and processing time, we applied these algorithms to simulated airborne multi-sensory data. The experimental results indicate that the inverse normal matrix update algorithm shows 40 % higher accuracy in the estimated ground point coordinates and eight times faster processing speed comparing to the Given transformation update algorithm. Therefore, the inverse normal matrix update algorithm is more appropriate for the real-time image georeferencing.

In this paper, we propose object classification algorithm for real-time surveillance system. We have approached this problem using silhouette-based template matching. The silhouette of the object is extracted, and then it is compared with representative template models. Template models are previously stored in the database. Our algorithm is similar to previous pixel-based template matching scheme like Hausdorff Distance, but we use 1D image array rather than 2D regions inspired by Hilbert Path. Transformation of images could reduce computational burden to compute similarity between the detected image and the template images. Experimental results show robustness and real-time performance in object classification, even in low resolution images.

We have developed a automatic surface inspection system for cold Rolled strips in steel making process for several years. We have experienced the various kinds of surface inspection systems, including linear CCD camera type and the laser type inspection system which was installed in cold rolled strips production lines. But, we did not satisfied with these inspection systems owing to insufficient detection and classification rate, real time processing performance and limited line speed of real production lines. In order to increase detection and computing power, we have used the Dark Field illumination with Infra_Red LED, Bright Field illumination with Xenon Lamp, Parallel Computing Processor with Area typed CCD camera and full software based image processing technique for the ease up_grading and maintenance. In this paper, we introduced the automatic inspection system and real time image processing technique using the Object Detection, Defect Detection, Classification algorithms. As a result of experiment, under the situation of the high speed processed line(max 1000 meter per minute) defect detection is above 90% for all occurred defects in real line, defect name classification rate is about 80% for most frequently occurred 8 defect, and defect grade classification rate is 84% for name classified defect.

Recent deep learning algorithms for object detection in real-time play a crucial role in various applications such as autonomous driving, traffic monitoring, health care, and water quality monitoring. The size of small objects, in particular, significantly impacts the accuracy of detection models. However, data containing small objects can lead to underfitting issues in models. Therefore, this study developed a deep learning model capable of quickly detecting small objects to provide more accurate predictions. The RE-SOD (Residual block based Small Object Detector) developed in this research enhances the detection performance for small objects by using RGB separation preprocessing and residual blocks. The model achieved an accuracy of 1.0 in image classification and an mAP50-95 score of 0.944 in object detection. The performance of this model was validated by comparing it with real-time detection models such as YOLOv5, YOLOv7, and YOLOv8.

This paper presents a vision-based robust off-road terrain classification method against environmental variation. As a supervised classification algorithm, we applied a neural network classifier using wavelet features extracted from wavelet transform of an image. In order to get over an effect of overall image feature variation, we adopted environment sensors and gathered the training parameters database according to environmental conditions. The robust terrain classification algorithm against environmental variation was implemented by choosing an optimal parameter using environmental information. The proposed algorithm was embedded on a processor board under the VxWorks real-time operating system. The processor board is containing four 1GHz 7448 PowerPC CPUs. In order to implement an optimal software architecture on which a distributed parallel processing is possible, we measured and analyzed the data delivery time between the CPUs. And the performance of the present algorithm was verified, comparing classification results using the real off-road images acquired under various environmental conditions in conformity with applied classifiers and features. Experiments show the robustness of the classification results on any environmental condition.

Purpose: This study proposes a classification model for implementing condition-based maintenance (CBM) by monitoring the real-time status of a machine using acceleration sensor data collected from a vehicle. Methods: The classification model's performance was improved by applying Fourier transform to convert the acceleration sensor data from the time domain to the frequency domain. Additionally, the Generative Adversarial Network (GAN) algorithm was used to augment images and further enhance the classification model's performance. Results: Experimental results demonstrate that the GAN algorithm can effectively serve as an image augmentation technique to enhance the performance of the classification model. Consequently, the proposed approach yielded a significant improvement in the classification model's accuracy. Conclusion: While this study focused on the effectiveness of the GAN algorithm as an image augmentation method, further research is necessary to compare its performance with other image augmentation techniques. Additionally, it is essential to consider the potential for performance degradation due to class imbalance and conduct follow-up studies to address this issue.
