Instance segmentation is a challenging research in the field of computer vision, which combines the prediction results of object detection and semantic segmentation to provide richer image feature information. Focusing on the instance segmentation in the street scene, the real-time instance segmentation method based on SOLOv2 is proposed in this paper. First, a cross-stage fusion backbone network based on position attention is designed to increase the model accuracy and reduce the computational effort. Then, the loss of shallow location information is decreased by integrating two-way feature pyramid networks. Meanwhile, cross-stage mask feature fusion is designed to resolve the small objects missed segmentation. Finally, the adaptive minimum loss matching method is proposed to decrease the loss of segmentation accuracy due to object occlusion in the image. Compared with other mainstream methods, our method meets the real-time segmentation requirements and achieves competitive performance in segmentation accuracy.

Recently, the fuzzy theory has been adopted broadly to the applications of image processing. Especially the fuzzy clustering algorithm is adopted to image segmentation to reduce the ambiguity and the influence of noise in an image.But this needs lots of memory and execution time because of the great deal of image data. Therefore a new image segmentation algorithm is needed which reduces the memory and execution time, doesn't change the characteristices of the image, and simultaneously has the same result of image segmentation as the conventional fuzzy clustering algorithm. In this paper, for image segmentation, an extended fuzzy clustering algorithm is proposed which uses the occurence of data of the same characteristic value as the weight of the characteristic value instead of using the characteristic value directly in an image and it is proved the memory reduction and execution time reducted in comparision with the conventional fuzzy clustering algorithm in image segmentation.

Real-time Point Cloud Ground Segmentation은 자율주행에서 판단 및 객체 탐지/추적 등 다양한 분야에 도움을 준다. 이에 따라, Real-time Point Cloud Ground Segmentation을 했으며, 센서로는 라이다, 알고리즘으로는 TRAVEL논문을 인용했다. 또한 Real-time Point Cloud Ground Segmentation뿐 만 아니라 이동가능지형 판단(Traversability)을 하였다. 그리고 최종적으로, 위와 같은 알고리즘들을 회사 로봇(Scout Mini Robot)에 접목시켰으며 그 과정에서 TRAVEL 알고리즘내에 내제된 파라미터 값들을 최적화시키는 과정이 필요하였다. 그래서 3가지의 방법을 통해 파라미터 값을 선정한 후, 결과값을 비교 분석하였다. 연구 결과, Rellis-3D와 베이지안 최적화를 사용한 베이지안 파라미터가 최적의 파라미터임을 확인할 수 있었다.

As mechatronic systems have various, complex functions and require high performance, automatic fault detection is necessary for secure operation in manufacturing processes. For conducting automatic and real-time fault detection in modern mechatronic systems, multiple sensor signals are collected by internet of things technologies. Since traditional statistical control charts or machine learning approaches show significant results with unified and solid density models under normal operating states but they have limitations with scattered signal models under normal states, many pattern extraction and matching approaches have been paid attention. Signal discretization-based pattern extraction methods are one of popular signal analyses, which reduce the size of the given datasets as much as possible as well as highlight significant and inherent signal behaviors. Since general pattern extraction methods are usually conducted with a fixed size of time segmentation, they can easily cut off significant behaviors, and consequently the performance of the extracted fault patterns will be reduced. In this regard, adjustable time segmentation is proposed to extract much meaningful fault patterns in multiple sensor signals. By considering inflection points of signals, we determine the optimal cut-points of time segments in each sensor signal. In addition, to clarify the inflection points, we apply Savitzky-golay filter to the original datasets. To validate and verify the performance of the proposed segmentation, the dataset collected from an aircraft engine (provided by NASA prognostics center) is used to fault pattern extraction. As a result, the proposed adjustable time segmentation shows better performance in fault pattern extraction.

비디오 객체 분할(Video Object Segmentation)은 MPEG-4 부호화의 핵심기술로 실시간 요구사항을 위해 빠르고 정확하여야 한다. 그러나 대부분의 존재하는 알고리즘은 계산량이 많으며 실시간 응용을 위해 적합하지 않다. 또한 이전 MPEG-4 VM(Verification Model) 기본 모델은 MPEG-4 부호화 처리를 위한 기본 알고리즘을 제공하였으나 실시간 요구사항을 위한 카메라 입력 시스템, 실용적인 소프트웨어 개발, 비디오 객체 분할 그리고 압축효율에 많은 제한이 있다. 이에 본 논문은 기본 MPEG-4 VM모델에 내용 기반 비디오 코딩의 핵심인 VOP 추출알고리즘, 실시간 카메라 입력 시스템, 압축율을 높일 수 있는 움직임 감지 알고리즘을 추가하여 최대 180:1의 압축율을 보여주는 실시간 고압축 MPEG-4 전처리 시스템을 개발하였다.

Objective: To determine whether volumetric CT texture analysis (CTTA) using fully automatic tumor segmentation can help predict recurrence-free survival (RFS) in patients with intrahepatic mass-forming cholangiocarcinomas (IMCCs) after surgical resection. Materials and Methods: This retrospective study analyzed the preoperative CT scans of 89 patients with IMCCs (64 male; 25 female; mean age, 62.1 years; range, 38-78 years) who underwent surgical resection between January 2005 and December 2016. Volumetric CTTA of IMCCs was performed in late arterial phase images using both fully automatic and semi-automatic liver tumor segmentation techniques. The time spent on segmentation and texture analysis was compared, and the first-order and second-order texture parameters and shape features were extracted. The reliability of CTTA parameters between the techniques was evaluated using intraclass correlation coefficients (ICCs). Intra- and interobserver reproducibility of volumetric CTTAs were also obtained using ICCs. Cox proportional hazard regression were used to predict RFS using CTTA parameters and clinicopathological parameters. Results: The time spent on fully automatic tumor segmentation and CTTA was significantly shorter than that for semi-automatic segmentation: mean ± standard deviation of 1 minutes 37 seconds ± 50 seconds vs. 10 minutes 48 seconds ± 13 minutes 44 seconds (p < 0.001). ICCs of the texture features between the two techniques ranged from 0.215 to 0.980. ICCs for the intraobserver and interobserver reproducibility using fully automatic segmentation were 0.601-0.997 and 0.177-0.984, respectively. Multivariable analysis identified lower first-order mean (hazard ratio [HR], 0.982; p = 0.010), larger pathologic tumor size (HR, 1.171; p < 0.001), and positive lymph node involvement (HR, 2.193; p = 0.014) as significant parameters for shorter RFS using fully automatic segmentation. Conclusion: Volumetric CTTA parameters obtained using fully automatic segmentation could be utilized as prognostic markers in patients with IMCC, with comparable reproducibility in significantly less time compared with semi-automatic segmentation.

This paper proposes a digital algorithm for gray-scale/color image segmentation of real-time video signals and a cell-network-based implementation architecture in state-of-the-art CMOS technology. Through extrapolation of design and simulation results we predict that about 300$\times$300 pixels can be integrated on a chip at 100nm CMOS technology, realizing very high-speed segmentation at about 1600sec per color image. Consequently real-time color-video segmentation will become possible in near future.

While segmenting "complex" images (with multiple objects, many details, etc.) we experienced a need to explore new ways for time-efficient and meaningful image segmentation. In this paper we propose a new technique for image segmentation which has only one variable for controlling the expected number of segments. The algorithm focuses on the treatment of pixels in transition zones between various label distributions. Results of the proposed algorithm (e.g. on the Berkeley image segmentation dataset) are comparable to those of GMM or HMM-EM segmentation, but are achieved with significantly reduced computation time.

This paper describes a way of implementing the segmentation of 128*128 pixel images to be used as the inputs. to a real-time automatic video tracker. The suggested method uses the lowest valley-value of the computed intensity historgram with 16 levels. This method improves smoothing effects and also significantly reduces hardware requirements. Entire segmentation process is caried out in 10msec thus making a real time application possible.

영상에서 배경으로부터 객체를 추출하는 영상 segmentation 알고리즘은 물체 인식 및 추적 등 다양한 응용분야에서 활용될 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 고정된 카메라에서 다수의 초기 프레임을 참조하여 실시간 객체 segmentation 방법을 제안한다. 먼저 객체와 배경을 분류하는 확률모델을 제안하였으며 초기 프레임 동안에 카메라의 color consistency와 focus 특성을 분석하여 안정적인 segmentation 성능을 증가시켰다. 또한 분류된 객체에서 human의 skeleton 특성을 이용하여 추출 결과를 보정하는 방법을 제안한다. 마지막으로 제안된 알고리즘은 객체 segmentation 실시간 처리를 위하여 복잡도를 최소화하므로 다양한 mobile 단말에 확대 적용 가능하다.
