The usage of 3D modelling is increasing fast, both for civilian and military areas, such as navigation, targeting and urban planning. When creating a 3D model from satellite images, clouds canbe problematic. Thus, automatic detection ofclouds inthe imagesis ofgreat use. This master thesis was carried out at Vricon, who produces 3D models of the earth from satellite images.This thesis aimed to investigate if Support Vector Machines could classify pixels into cloud or non-cloud, with a combination of texture and color as features. To solve the stated goal, the task was divided into several subproblems, where the first part was to extract features from the images. Then the images were preprocessed before fed to the classifier. After that, the classifier was trained, and finally evaluated.The two methods that gave the best results in this thesis had approximately 95 % correctly classified pixels. This result is better than the existing cloud segmentation method at Vricon, for the tested terrain and cloud types.

This work is about suggestion of the software for neural network based image segmentation. It defines basic terms for this topics. It is focusing mainly at preperation imaging information for image segmentation using neural network. It describes and compares different aproaches for image segmentation.

A biometria é a ciência que estuda a mensuração dos seres vivos. Muitos trabalhos exploram as características dos seres humanos tais como, impressão digital, íris e face, a fim de desenvolver sistemas biométricos, utilizados em diversas aplicações (monitoramento de segurança, computação ubíqua, robótica). O reconhecimento de faces é uma das técnicas biométricas mais investigadas, por ser bastante intuitiva e menos invasiva que as demais. Alguns trabalhos envolvendo essa técnica se preocupam apenas em localizar a face de um indivíduo (fazer a contagem de pessoas), enquanto outros tentam identificá-lo a partir de uma imagem. Este trabalho propõe uma abordagem capaz de identificar faces a partir de quadros de vídeo e, posteriormente, reconhecê-las por meio de técnicas de análise de imagens. Pode-se dividir o trabalho em dois módulos principais: (1) - Localização e rastreamento de faces em uma seqüência de imagens ( frames), além de separar a região rastreada da imagem; (2) - Reconhecimento de faces, identificando a qual pessoa pertence. Para a primeira etapa foi implementado um sistema de análise de movimento (baseado em subtração de quadros) que possibilitou localizar, rastrear e captar imagens da face de um indivíduo usando uma câmera de vídeo. Para a segunda etapa foram implementados os módulos de redução de informações (técnica Principal Component Analysis - PCA), de extração de características (transformada wavelet de Gabor), e o de classificação e identificação de face (distância Euclidiana e Support Vector Machine - SVM). Utilizando-se duas bases de dados de faces (FERET e uma própria - Própria), foram realizados testes para avaliar o sistema de reconhecimento implementado. Os resultados encontrados foram satisfatórios, atingindo 91,92% e 100,00% de taxa de acertos para as bases FERET e Própria, respectivamente.<br>Biometry is the science of measuring and analyzing biomedical data. Many works in this field have explored the characteristics of human beings, such as digital fingerprints, iris, and face to develop biometric systems, employed in various aplications (security monitoring, ubiquitous computation, robotic). Face identification and recognition are very apealing biometric techniques, as it it intuitive and less invasive than others. Many works in this field are only concerned with locating the face of an individual (for counting purposes), while others try to identify people from faces. The objective of this work is to develop a biometric system that could identify and recognize faces. The work can be divided into two major stages: (1) Locate and track in a sequence of images (frames), as well as separating the tracked region from the image; (2) Recognize a face as belonging to a certain individual. In the former, faces are captured from frames of a video camera by a motion analysis system (based on substraction of frames), capable of finding, tracking and croping faces from images of individuals. The later, consists of elements for data reductions (Principal Component Analysis - PCA), feature extraction (Gabor wavelets) and face classification (Euclidean distance and Support Vector Machine - SVM). Two faces databases have been used: FERET and a \"home-made\" one. Tests have been undertaken so as to assess the system\'s recognition capabilities. The experiments have shown that the technique exhibited a satisfactory performance, with success rates of 91.97% and 100% for the FERET and the \"home-made\" databases, respectively.

In this thesis work, a detailed analysis of biometric technologies has been done and a new palmprint recognition algorithm has been implemented. The proposed algorithm is based on 2-D Gabor filters. The developed algorithm is first tested on The Hong Kong Polytechnic University Palmprint Database in terms of accuracy, speed and template size. Then a scanner is integrated into the developed algorithm in order to acquire palm images<br>in this way an online palmprint recognition system has been developed. Then a small palmprint database is formed via this system in Middle East Technical University. Results on this new database have also shown the success of the developed algorithm.

Inspection of solder joints has been a critical process in the electronic manufacturing industry to reduce manufacturing cost, improve yield, and ensure product quality and reliability. The solder joint inspection problem is more challenging than many other visual inspections because of the variability in the appearance of solder joints. Although many research works and various techniques have been developed to classify defect in solder joints, these methods have complex systems of illumination for image acquisition and complicated classification algorithms. An important stage of the analysis is to select the right method for the classification. Better inspection technologies are needed to fill the gap between available inspection capabilities and industry systems. This dissertation aims to provide a solution that can overcome some of the limitations of current inspection techniques. This research proposes two inspection steps for automatic solder joint classification system. The “front-end” inspection system includes illumination normalisation, localization and segmentation. The illumination normalisation approach can effectively and efficiently eliminate the effect of uneven illumination while keeping the properties of the processed image. The “back-end” inspection involves the classification of solder joints by using Log Gabor filter and classifier fusion. Five different levels of solder quality with respect to the amount of solder paste have been defined. Log Gabor filter has been demonstrated to achieve high recognition rates and is resistant to misalignment. Further testing demonstrates the advantage of Log Gabor filter over both Discrete Wavelet Transform and Discrete Cosine Transform. Classifier score fusion is analysed for improving recognition rate. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed system improves performance and robustness in terms of classification rates. This proposed system does not need any special illumination system, and the images are acquired by an ordinary digital camera. In fact, the choice of suitable features allows one to overcome the problem given by the use of non complex illumination systems. The new system proposed in this research can be incorporated in the development of an automated non-contact, non-destructive and low cost solder joint quality inspection system.
