Image Processing Group

Introduction

Recently, as for the digital image, it became a very familiar thing due to the improvement of the ability of the computer, the diffusion of the Internet, the digital camera, video, and so on. Moreover, the application of 3D CG (Computer Graphics) increases in a movie and a game, the field such as design, simulation. The importance of Image processing and the 3D CG technology can be thought to increase more and more from now on.

In our Lab, we do not only pursues the technologic improvement of image processing, 3D CG, but also try to build up better relations between human and computer by using these technology.

Accurate Crack Inspection on Concrete Structure Surface Images


As a diagnostic application of an automated image analysis, crack inspection based on image processing and measurement is proposed. Crack inspection in concrete surfaces during the maintenance and diagnosis of concrete structures is important to ensure the safety of these structures. In order to measure the crack width with exact scale, we put a crack scale on the concrete surface which is located on the photographable place.


Creating High-Definition Color Image in Low-Contrast Region


The color reproduction takes important role in creating high-definition digital image. We propose the method which enables higher color expression than original images, by combining two images taken in different conditions. Also the method is restricted to the low-contrast region which has uniform color and luminance changes of the input images.


Development of Digital Mirror


I am doing the research that achieves the mirror on the display such as personal computers. The prototype was made by combining the fisheye camera with pan-tilt camera. It is possible to achieve it in real time corresponding to the movement of person's face.
