In this paper, we propose an efficient method for recognizing human lips. Based on Point Distribution Model, a lip shape is represented as a set of points. We calculate a lip model and the distribution of shape parameters using Principle Component Analysis and Gaussian mixture, respectively. The Expectation Maximization algorithm is used to determine the maximum likelihood parameter of Gaussian mixture. The lip contour model is derived by using the gray value changes at each point and in regions around the point and used to search the lip shape in a image. The experiments have been performed for many images, and show very encouraging result.

In this paper, we will introduce a new corner detector for the wafer die position recognition. The die position recognition procedure is necessary for WSCSP(Wafer Scale Chip Scale Packaging) technology, decide the accuracy of post-procedure. We present a hierarchical gray level corner detection method for the recognition of the die position from a wafer image. The new corner detector divides the corner region into many homocentric circles, and calculates the comer response and the angle of direction about each circle to get an accurate toner point. The new corner detector has a hierarchical structure so it can detect comer point more quickly than general gray level corner detector.

In this paper, we present a document image compression system based on segmentation, Quincunx downsampling, (5/3) wavelet lifting and subband-oriented SPIHT coding. We reduced the coding time by the adaptation of subband-oriented SPIHT coding and Quincunx downsampling. And to increase compression rate further, we applied arithmetic coding to the bitstream of SPIHT coding output. Finally, we present the reconstructed images for visual comparison and also present the compression rates and PSNR values under various scalar quantization methods.

This research aim concerns questioning how we can generate environments suggestive of nature fused with built environments through textiles. Through literature reviews and experiments with available the 3D imaging techniques of Holography, Lenticular and other new technologies, We have researched towards finding the most effective method for 3D imaging techniques for textile applications. This objective is to produce intriguing textile patterns and images in which the objects and colours change as viewpoints change. Experimental work was carried out in collaboration with professional textile researchers, scientists, artists and designers conducting research in this field.

In this paper, we propose a system for automatic moving object detection and tracking in sequence images acquired from a moving camera. The proposed algorithm consists of moving object detection and its tracking. Moving object can be detected by integration of BBME and DD method We segment the detected object using histogram back projection, match it using histogram intersection, extract and track it using XY-projection. Computer simulation results have shown that the proposed algorithm is reliable and can successfully detect and track a moving object on image sequences obtained by a moving camera.

The color information in an image changes as the illuminant condition varies. The mechanism to find canonical color of an object by estimating illumination color in an image is generally referred as color constancy. In color constancy, computing robust and precise dichromatic line is most important to estimate illumination chromaticity. In this paper, a novel approach to estimate the color of a single illuminant for noisy and micro-textured images is introduced. An accurate dichromatic line is found by using Dichromatic Line Space (DLS), proposed in this paper. which has information about diffuse chromaticity and illumination chromaticity.

A poisoning accident is often caused by a situation in which people eat poisonous mushrooms because they cannot distinguish between edible mushrooms and poisonous mushrooms. In this paper, we propose an automatic mushroom recognition system by using the convolutional neural network. We collected 1478 mushroom images of 38 species using image crawling, and used the dataset for learning the convolutional neural network. A comparison experiment using AlexNet, VGGNet, and GoogLeNet was performed using the collected datasets, and a comparison experiment using a class number expansion and a fine-tuning technique for transfer learning were performed. As a result of our experiment, we achieve 82.63% top-1 accuracy and 96.84% top-5 accuracy on test set of our dataset.

This paper presents algorithms for real-time navigation of a humanoid robot with a stereo vision but no other sensors. Using the algorithms, a robot can recognize its 3D environment by retrieving SIFT features from images, estimate its position through the Kalman filter, and plan its path to reach a destination avoiding obstacles. Our approach focuses on estimating the robot’s central walking path trajectory rather than its actual walking motion by using an approximate model. This strategy makes it possible to apply mobile robot localization approaches to humanoid robot localization. Simple collision free path planning and motion control enable the autonomous robot navigation. Experimental results demonstrate the feasibility of our approach.

A background is a part where do not vary too much or frequently change in an image sequence. Using this assumption, it is presented a background acquisition algorithm for not only static but also dynamic view in this paper. For generating background, we detect a region, where has high correlation rate compared within selected region in the prior pyramid image, from the searching region in the current image. Between a detected region in the current image and a selected region in the prior image, we calculate movement vector for each regions in time sequence. After we calculate whole movement vectors for two successive images, vector histogram is used to determine the camera movement. The vector which has the highest density in the histogram is determined a camera movement. Using determined camera movement, we classify clusters based on pixel intensities which pixels are matched with prior pixels following camera movement. Finally we eliminate clusters which have lower weight than threshold, and combine remained clusters for each pixel to generate multiple background clusters. Experimental results show that we can automatically detect background whether camera move or not.
