In this paper, we propose a method that extracts features from character patterns using the fractal dimension of chaos theory. The input character pattern image is converted into time-series data. Then, using the modified Henon system suggested in this paper, it determines the last features of the character pattern image after calculating the box-counting dimension, natural measure, information bit, and information (fractal) dimension. Finally, character pattern recognition is performed by statistically finding each information bit that shows the minimum difference compared with a normalized character pattern database.

This paper proposes a method to improve the image quality by designing Unsharp Mask Filter (UMF) based on Retinex theory which controls the frequency pass characteristics adaptively. Conventional unsharp masking technique uses blurring image to emphasize sharpness of image. Unsharp Masking(UM) adjusts the original image and sigma to obtain a high frequency component to be emphasized by the difference between the blurred image and the high frequency component to the original image, thereby improving the contrast ratio of the image. In this paper, we design a Unsharp Mask Filter(UMF) that can process the contrast ratio improvement method of Unsharp Masking(UM) technique with one filtering. We adaptively process the contrast ratio improvement using Unsharp Mask Filter(UMF). We propose a method based on Retinex theory for adaptive processing. For adaptive filtering, we control the weights of Unsharp Mask Filter(UMF) based on the human visual system and output more effective results.

In the area of the multimedia computer, the demand for the image processing engineer is large. However, there are not many engineers capable of developing practical systems. To teach practical image processing techniques, we need an intergrated education systems which can efficiently present the image processing theory and, at the same time, provide interactive experiments for the theory presented. In this paper, we propose an integrated education systems for the image processing. It consists of the theory presentation systems and the experiment systems. The theory presentation systems uspports multimedia display functions and HTML. It is tightly integrated with the experiment systems which developed based on the integrated image processing algorithm development system called Hello-vision.

In this paper we propose how to detect circular objects in the gray scale image and segment them using the discrete Morse theory, which makes it possible to analyze the topology of a digital image, when it is transformed into the data structure of some combinatorial complex. It is possible to get meaningful information about how many connected components and topologically circular shapes are in the image by computing the persistent homology of the filtration using the Morse complex. We obtain a Morse complex by modeling an image as a cubical cellular complex. Each cell in the Morse complex is the critical point at which the topological structure changes in the filtration consisting of the level sets of the image. In this paper, we implement the proposed algorithm of segmenting the circularly shaped objects with a long persistence of homology as well as computing persistent homology along the filtration of the input image and displaying in the form of a persistence diagram.

Blind source separation by independent component analysis (ICA) has applied in signal processing, telecommunication, and image processing to recover unknown original source signals from mutually independent observation signals. Neural networks are learned to estimate the original signals by unsupervised learning algorithm. Because the outputs of the neural networks which yield original source signals are mutually independent, then mutual information is zero. This is equivalent to minimizing the Kullback-Leibler convergence between probability density function and the corresponding factorial distribution of the output in neural networks. In this paper, we present a learning algorithm using information theory and higher order statistics to solve problem of blind source separation. For computer simulation two deterministic signals and a Gaussian noise are used as original source signals. We also test the proposed algorithm by applying it to several discrete images.

This paper reviews recent published works dealing with the application of wavelets to image processing based on multiresolution analysis. After revisiting the basics of wavelet transform theory, various applications of wavelets and multiresolution analysis are reviewed, including image denoising, image enhancement, super-resolution, and image compression. In addition, we introduce the concept and theory of quaternion wavelets for the future advancement of wavelet transform and quaternion multiresolution applications.

In this paper, a content-based image retrieval scheme based on scale-space theory is proposed. The existing methods using scale-space theory consider all scales for image retrieval,thereby requiring a lot of computation. To overcome this problem, the proposed algorithm utilizes amodified histogram intersection method to select candidate images from database. The relative scalebetween a query image and a candidate image is calculated by the ratio of histograms. Feature pointsare extracted from the candidates using a corner detection algorithm. The feature vector for eachfeature point is composed of RGB color components and differential invariants. For computing thesimilarity between a query image and a candidate image, the euclidean distance measure is used. Theproposed image retrieval method has been applied to various images and the performance improvementover the existing methods has been verified.

Roughness set theory is a popular topic to use in color-image segmentation. A new popular color image segmentation algorithm is proposed by scientists with the point using traditional histogram and Histon construct roughness set histogram. But, there is still a problem about that is the correlativity of color vector in roughness set histogram, which take an inactive effect in the process of color-image segmentation. Therefore, this paper represents further research based on this and proposed an improved method proved through lot of experiments. The experimental result reduces the correlativity of color vector in roughness set histogram and calculation time remarkably.
