A morphological filtering algorithm using directional information is presented. Directional filtering technique is effective in reducing noises and preserving edges. The proposed directional filtering is composed of two stage filtering processes. The opening and closing operations in the lst stage are performed for the pixels is aligned to the vertical, horizontal, and two diagonal directions, respectively. The opening operation supresses the positive impulse noises, while the closing operation the negative ones. Then, each directional result and their average value are filtered by the opening or closing operations in the 2nd stage. The averaging operation diminishes the effects of Gaussian noises in the homogeneous regions. Thus, the morphological operation in the 1 st stageremoves the impulse noises and in 2nd stage reduces. Gaussian ones. The experimental results show that the proposed filtering is superior to the existing nonlinear filtering in the aspects of the subjective quality. Also, the morphological filtering method reduces the computational loads.

Morphological 필터는 다양한 structuring element로서 morphological 연산으로 구성된다. 두개의 기본적인 morphological 연산은 erosion과 dilation이다. 두 연산에 기본을 두고 OC, CO 필터가 정의된다. 가우시안 잡음이 포함된 이미지의 잡음을 제거할 경우 OC 필터의 성능이 CO의 성능보다 우수함을 확인하였다. 본 논문에서는 이미지 처리에 있어서 하이브리드 메디안 필터를 구성하여 다른 필터 보다 화질의 선명도를 개선하고 컴퓨터 시뮬레이션을 통하여 해석하였다.

In this paper we present a generalized directional morphological filtering algorithm for the removal of impulse noise, which is based on a combination of impulse noise detection and a weighted rank-order morphological filtering technique. For salt (or pepper) noise suppression, the generalized directional opening (or closing) filtering of the input signal is selectively used. The detection of impulse noise can be done by the geometrical difference of opening and closing filtering. Simulations show that this new filter has better detail feature preservation with effective noise reduction compared to other nonlinear filtering techniques.

본 논문에서는 최소자승오차법(LMSE, least mean square error)을 이용하여 function processing(FP) 형태학 필터를 최적화하는 알고리즘을 제안한다. Erosion이나 dilation 연산들은 원하는 신호와 실제 필터의 출력 신호 사이의 평균자승오차(MSE, mean square error)를 최소화하는 농담(農談) 구조요소(GSE. grayscale structuring element)를 결정함으로써 최적화 된다. 본 논문에서는 LMS 트레이닝 알고리즘을 형태학 필터의 최적화에 적용하기 위하여 스텝 사이즈 매개변수 n가 만족해야 하는 조건을 보이고, 이를 이용하여 erosion이나 dilation 형태학 필터들의 최적 GSE를 결정할 수 있음을 보였다. 또한, 본 논문에서는 행렬을 사용하여 복합 형상한 연산들을 소역 행열 연산자로 새롭게 정의하고, 이소역 연산들에 LMS 알고리즘과 back-propagation 알고리즘을 적용하여 복합 형태학 필터들을 최적화할 수 있음을 보였다. 실험 부분에서는 제안된 최적 형상학 필터들을 2-D 영상에 적용한 결과를 보였다.

In this paper, the probabilistic relations of dual morphological operations, such as dilation and erosion, closing and opening, and close- open and open-close, and the statistical properties for a continuous stationary lst order Gauss-Markov source are analyzed. The result is that the dual filters have symmetrical means and skews, and equal variances. Also, the statistics of morphological filters are very similar with those of input source, as correlation coefficient increases.

The Euglena deses group are common freshwater species composed of E. adhaerens, E. carterae, E. deses, E. mutabilis, and E. satelles. These species are characterized by elongated cylindrical worm-like cell bodies and numerous discoid chloroplasts with a naked pyrenoid. To understand the cryptic diversity, species delimitation and phylogenetic relationships among members of the group, we analyzed morphological data (light and scanning electron microscopy) and molecular data (nuclear small subunit [SSU] and large subunit [LSU] rDNAs and plastid SSU and LSU rDNAs). Bayesian and maximum likelihood analyses based on the combined four-gene dataset resulted in a tree consisting of two major clades within the group. The first clade was composed of two subclades: the E. mutabilis subclade, and the E. satelles, E. carterae, and E. adhaerens subclade. The E. mutabilis subclade was characterized by a lateral canal opening at the anterior end and a single pellicular stria, whereas the E. satelles, E. carterae, and E. adhaerens subclade was characterized by an apical canal opening at the anterior end of the cell and double pellicular striae. The second clade consisted of 20 strains of E. deses, characterizing by a subapical canal opening at the anterior end and double pellicular striae, but they showed cell size variation and high genetic diversity. Species boundaries were tested using a Bayesian multi-locus species delimitation method, resulting in the recognition of five cryptic species within E. deses clade.

When driving at night time environment, the whole body of transports does not visible to us. Due to lack of light conditions, there are only two options, which is clearly visible their taillights and break lights. To improve the recognition correctness of vehicle detection, we present an approach to vehicle detection and tracking using finding contour of the object on binary image at night time. Bilateral filtering is used to make more clearly on threshold part. To remove unexpected small noises used morphological opening. In verification stage, paired tail lights are tracked during their existence in the ROI. The accuracy of the test results for vehicle detection is about 93%.

In this paper an efficient morphologica algorithm for reducing gaussian and impulse noise in gray-scale image is presented. Based on the edge information the input image is partitioned into a flat region and an edge region, then different algorithms are selectively applied to each region. in case of impulse noise, MGR (morphologica grayscale reconstruction) algorithm with directional SE (structuring element) is applied to the flat region. For theedge region opening-closing (closing-opening) is used instead of dialation (erosion), so that the remaining noise around large objects can be removed. In case of gaussian noise, 5*5 OCCO(opening closing closing opening) and 3*3 DMF(directional morphological filter ) are used for the flat region and the edgeregion, respectively. In order to remove discontinuity at the edge boundary, the algorithm uses 3*3 OCCO around the edge region to reconstruct the final image. Experimetnal results have shown that the proposed algorithm achieves a high performance in terms of noise removal, detail preservation, and NMSE.

본 논문에서는 농담구조소(濃淡構造素)(GSE, grayscale structuring element)를 갖는 형태학 필터의 실시간 처리를 위한 알고리즘을 제안하였다. 제안된 알고리즘에서는 GSE로부터 유도된 basis matrix와 입력 샘플들로 구성된 input matrix를 이용하여 각 형태학 연산들을 소역행렬연산(local matrix operation)으로 새롭게 정의하고 있는데, 이를 이용하여 opening이나 closing과 같은 복합 형태학 연산들을 실시간으로 처리할 수 있음을 보였다. 제안된 알고리즘은 복원 형태학 연산들을 erosion과 dilation의 직렬조합(cascade combination)으로 처리하던 기존의 방법에 비해 적은 메모리를 필요로 하면서도, 출력을 얻기까지의 지연(遲延)(delay)이 훨씬 적다는 장점을 갖는다. 또한 본 논문에서는 형태학 필터를 VLSI로 구현하기 위한 효율적 방안을 제안하였다. 제안된 방법에서는 p-bit으로 표현되는 신호에 대한 형태학 연산을 p개의 이진(binary) 형태학 연산자들의 조합으로 구현하였는데, 각 이진 연산자들은 MSB(most significant bit)부터 순차적으로 (bit-serial approach) 해당 레벨의 bit들을 처리하여 출력을 부를 구조로 이루어져 있다. 본 논문에서는 형태학 필터의 VLSI 구현에 있어서 제안된 방법이 기존의 Threshold Decomposition 방법 등에 비해 보다 효율적이라는 것을 보였다.

In this paper we present the linear combination of a fuzzy opening and closing filter with locally adaptive structuring elements that can preserve the geometrical features of an image. Based on the adaptation algorithm of linear combination of the fuzzy opening and closing filter, the optimal structuring element for image representation is obtained. The optimal structuring element is an indicator of the shape and direction of an object's image, which is useful in filtering, multi resolution, segmentation, and recognition of an image.
