Novytskyi R. Parallel optoelectronic methods and means for image comparison focused on advanced technologies

The object of the research is the process of comparing visual information (images) on the basis of parallel optoelectronic KVP-transformation methods and means of eye-processor type. The purpose of research is to increase the accuracy and speed of operations of image comparison and expand functionality of opto-electronic means of visual information processing by the application of the improved method of KVP-transformation on the basis of logical-time key identifiers oriented towards modern optoelectronic element base. The methods of the research are the following: the method of signal processing theory, theory of artificial intelligence and object recognition, mathematical analysis, heuristic and structural synthesis, apparatus of logic-time functions, and computer simulation. Theoretical results: for the first time the method of logical-time "key-identifier" for parallel image comparison; for the first time mathematical model and method for determining image mass center; method of KVP-transformation is improved; mathematical model of multi-level logical-time function is improved. Practical results: algorithm and structure of the device for determination of the image mass center is developed; structural schemes of the means of image comparison are developed; the structure of the optical-electronic device for parallel image comparison with pre-centering is improved; structural and electrical principal schemes of multifunctional optoelectronic modules based on the modern element base are modified; software package. Degree of implementation - the results are introduced in the academic process in "Gervin" company, of Vinnytsia National Technical University. Scope (field) of application: image processing, computer vision system.
