This paper presents a vision algorithm for finding the centers of steam generator tubes using the generalized symmetry transform, which is used for ECT(Eddy Current Test) of steam generator tubes in nuclear power plants. The geometrical properties of the image representing steam generator tubes shows that they have amost circular or somewhat elliptic appearances and each tube has strong symmetry about its center. So we apply the generalized symmetry transform to finding centers of steam geneator tubes. But applying the generalized symmetry transform itself without any modification gives difficulties in obtaining the exact centers of steam generator tubes. But applying the generalized symmetry transform itself without any modification gives difficulties in obtaining the exact centers of tubes due to the shadow effect generated by the local light installed inside steam generator. Therefore we make the generalized symmetry transform modified, which uses a modified phase weight function in getting the symmetry magnitude in order to overcome the misleading effect by the local light. The experimental results indicate that the proposed vision algorithm efficiently recongnizes centers of steam generator tubes.

This paper propose the DDEGST(divergent-direction-emphasis generalized symmetry transform) which emphasis the symmetry of divergent intensity orientation for effective target extraction in FLIR(forward looking infra-red) images. In the proposed method, we use the exponential function instead of cosine function as a phase weight function in the generalized symmetry transform for effective target extraction in FLIR images which contain a target with higher intensity than a background intensity. To evaluate the performance of the proposed method, we compare the proposed mehtod with conventional GST method in experiments. We prove that the proposed method have better performance in IR images.

The generalized symmetry transform evaluates symmetry without segmentation and extracts regions of interest in an image by combining locality and reflectional symmetry The demand that the symmetry transform be local is reflected by the distance weight function. When calculating large regions-of-interest, we should select a large standard deviation of distance weight function. But such a large standard deviation makes the execution time increase in the second power of r, which is a radius of search area. In this paper we propose modified scan line based GST with selectively directional attention to improve time complexity The symmetry map of our proposed GST is found to be very similar to that of the existing GST. However the computation time of the proposed GST increases linearly with respect to r because our proposed GST evaluates symmetry between a pair of edge pixels along the scan lines. The GST computation decreases considerably when the proposed GST is peformed with selectively directional attention in case of large r. Several experiments in this paper demonstrate the time efficiency and the usefulness of our proposed GST.

In this paper, a method of finite element analysis is presented for efficient calculation of vibration characteristics of not only simply interconnected structure with cyclic symmetry but also multiply interconnected structure with cyclic symmetry by using discrete Fourier trandform by means of a computer with small memory in a short time. Simply interconnected structure means it is composed of substructures which are adjacent themselves in circumferential direction. First, a mathematical model of multiply interconnected structure with cyclic symmetry is defined. The multiply interconnected structure is partitioned into substructures with the same goemetric configuration and constraint eqauations to be satisfied on connecting boundaries are defined. Nodal displacements and forces are transformed into complex forms through discrete Fourier transform and then finite element analysis is performed for just only a representative substructure. In free vibration analysis, natural frequencies of a whole structure can be obtained through a series of calculation for a substructure along the number of nodal diameter. And in forced vibration analysis, forced response of whole structure can be achieved by using inverse discrete Fourier transform of results which come from analysis for a substructure.

An efficient context-free multiple-object segmentation using attention operator based on modified generalized symmetry transform is proposed and implemented by modifying a radial basis function network. By using the difference of intensity gradient, instead of te intensity gradient itself, in generalized symmetry tranform so as to make the attention operator to preserve the edges of the objects shape, an efficient context-free multiple-object segementation is proposed in which no a priori shape informtion on the objects is requried. The attention operator is implemented by using a modified radial basis function network which can reflect symmetry, and by using te edge pyramid of the input image, both of the local and the global symmetry of the objects are reflected simultaneously to make the multiple-object with different sizes be segmented with a singel fixed-size $n\timesm$ can be done with O(n) complexity. The simulaton results show that the proposed algorithm can efficiently be used in context-free multiple-object segmentation even for the low contrast IR images as well as for the images from the camera.

In this paper we present an efficient method for finite element vibration analysis of a structure with cyclic symmetry and applied it to calculating the natural vibration characteristics for a blower impeller. Blower impeller having a cyclically symmetric structure is composed of circumferentially repeated substructures., The whole-structure is partitioned into substructures and then finite element vibration analysis is performed for a substructure using transformed equations for each number of nodal diameter which are derived from discrete Fourier transform in consideration of the cyclic symmetry. natural vibration characteristics for three kinds of models which are blower impeller without support ring with small support ring and with large support ring are numerically analyzed and compared. Accuracy and efficiency of the present method are verified by comparison of results of the analysis with substructure and with whole-structure. Also the results of the analysis by cyclic symmetry module(SOL 115) of MSC/NASTRAN are presented and compared.

Symmetry region searching can extract face region without a prior information in an image by using symmetric. However, this method requires a plenty of the computation time because the mask size to process symmetry region searching must be larger than the size of object such as eye, nose and mouth in face. in this paper, it proposed symmetric by using symmetry region searching and Wavelet Transform to reduce computation time of symmetry region searching, and It was applied to this method in an original image. To extract exact face region, we also experimented face region searching by using domain division in extraction region.

This paper propose an adaptive control of symmetry contribution based generalized symmetry transform. which can be controlled symmetry contribution according to the intensity orientation of two pixels. In the proposed method, we define the C-D(convergent and divergent)plane which represents convergence and divergence region of gradient pairs. and used the gaussian phase wight function, with respect to the distance from the gradient pair to an extreme point, in calculating the symmetry contribution. The proposed method can be detect the object more efficiently by adaptive controlling the cut-off frequency of the gaussian phase wight function. To evaluate a performance of the proposed method, we compare the proposed method and conventional GST method in various images including IR image. we prove that the proposed method have better performance in object detection.

In Gravure printing process, there are a lot of printing errors caused by expansion and contraction of printing materials and difficulty of printing of small letters, accordingly we cannot detect those errors with eyes. In this paper, we describe the algorithm which can detect small errors automatically in Gravure printing process and a real-time detection system adopting the algorithm. We present the Perimetric Mask algorithm that can eliminate tiny errors occurring near the contour of printing objects to achieve accurate inspection, and also construct an algorithm utilizing symmetry transform which can emphasize tiny errors to make a robust inspection system. We have made a system running in real-time and verified the efficiency of the algorithm.
