The development of automated, real time, and robust measurement techniques is the focus of much current research in analytical chemistry. Of the measurement approaches under study, infrared spectroscopy offers the capability to implement a selective, nondestructive analysis of a variety of chemical samples. In an automated analysis, current infrared instrumentation produces volumes of data necessitating the development of data processing techniques to extract useful information. In this dissertation, automated analysis methods for qualitative and quantitative applications of infrared spectroscopy are explored. These methods are directed to environmental remotesensing and clinical applications and focus on both single-point measurements with Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) instrumentation and imaging measurements performed with a multispectral line scanner. The developed methodology is directed to isolating the analyte signature from the data for use in a qualitative determination of analyte presence or in a quantitative measurement of analyte amount. A study was conducted to find optimal parameters for generating finite impulse response matrix (FIRM) digital filters for use in isolating analyte signals directly from FT-IR interferogram data. The filter design protocols established in this study are used to generate filters for quantitative and qualitative applications. Filters are designed to extract the glucose signal from a complex simulated biological matrix with severely overlapped spectra. Digital filters are also developed to isolate ammonia signals for use with patternrecognition techniques for the remote detection of ammonia in heated plumes from stack emissions. Analysis techniques are also developed for use with data from an infrared multispectral imaging system, designed to detect chemical plumes from stack emissions. These plumes are viewed from above by installing the imaging system on an aircraft platform. The alpha residual method is used to remo

This paper presents a new remote detection system for defect in upper portion of a glass bottle in production line. The system uses eight video cameras installed beside the production line to capture the images of the mouth, lip and neck of each bottle. Then, two computers collect and process these images to detection defects. The detection process includes two parts: one is to detect defects occurred in the mouth and lip of a glass bottle. This part uses the images captured from the top of a bottle. The other is for the defects occurred in the neck and shoulder of a bottle, by processing the images shot on the upper-side of the bottle. The processing includes image orientation, preprocessing, and image recognizing. The system sends a control signal to manufacture's mainframe once it recognizes a defect bottle, and can eject the defect bottle off the production line. The adequate test result is given to show the recognition rate system for all occurred in the upper part of a glass bottle.
Signal processing has now had many benefits to our daily life though we may not be aware of. For examples: microprocessors (a kind of signal processor) are used to control gas consumption to make our cars more fuel ef...

In this report we examine the usability of different computational image segmentation and recognition methods as a tool of water area restoration projects. An airborne, mosaic image of Maavesi water area in South-east Finland was measured in September 2000 with a three-channel camera covering parts from the spectrum in red, green and infra-red wavelengths. image segmentation and recognition methods were then applied in purpose to recognise and localize the aquatic macrophyte plant communities into several groups or by species. Results were confirmed by a field study performed in September-October 2001. The main interest of imageprocessing was to have data for design and monitoring of water plant biomass removal in near future.

Texture information is useful for image data browsing and retrieval. The goal of this paper is to present a texture classification system for remotesensingimages aimed at the administration of large collections of those images. The proposed classifier is a hybrid system composed by an unsupervised neural network and a supervised one. Starting from a small portion of the image (pattern) the system should recognize the most similar class to a pattern in a database as well as to identify images that contain similar patterns. The texture feature vectors used to characterize the patterns are obtained from the images processed by a bank of Gabor filters. Experimental results using textures of the Brodatz album, multi-spectral and radar images are presented.

This paper presents a contrast stretch (CS) method based on minimum entropy constraint to enhance images obtained in remotesensing applications such as ground penetrating radar (GPR), synthetic aperture radar, and infra-red imagery. The CS enhances contrast of the low-contrast part of an image. In remotesensing, it is usually the desirable signals that are of low contrast while interference of high contrast. The CS modifies the original image such that pixel values above and below preset boundaries are set to Zero and the maximum possible pixel value and the pixel values falling between the boundaries are stretched out to enhance the contrast of the image. Using the CS we can enhance the contrast of desirable signals from, for example, a buried landmine or an object obscured by some interference. On the other hand, the CS inevitably enhances other parts of a remotesensingimages, such as clutter and measurement noise. Therefore there is a trade-off in using the CS. It is beneficial to find the correct "cut-off" boundaries in the CS in some optimal sense. We propose using minimum entropy as a criterion of looking for the optimal CS parameter Using field data from GPR application, we show that improved image can be obtained which makes further processing such as detection more accurate.

Thresholding video images is very challenging due to the fact that image background generally has low resolution and is also more complicated and highly distorted than document images. As a result, thresholding methods that work well for document images may not work effectively for video images in some applications. This paper investigates the issue of thresholding video images for text detection and further develops a relative entropy-based thresholding approach that can effectively extract text from complicated video images. In order to demonstrate its performance a comparative study is conducted among the proposed thresholding method and several thresholding techniques which are widely used for document and gray scale images. The experimental results show that thresholding video images is far more difficult than thresholding document images and simple histogram-based methods generally do not perform well.
