This master's thesis is focused on segmentation of the scene from traffic environment. The solution to this problem is segmentation neural networks, which enables classification of every pixel in the image. In this thesis is created segmentation neural network, that has reached better results than present state-of-the-art architectures. This work is also focused on the segmentation of the top view of the road, as there are no freely available annotated datasets. For this purpose, there was created automatic tool for generation of synthetic datasets by using PC game Grand Theft Auto V. The work compares the networks, that have been trained solely on synthetic data and the networks that have been trained on both real and synthetic data. Experiments prove, that the synthetic data can be used for segmentation of the data from the real environment. There has been implemented a system, that enables work with segmentation neural networks.

The goal of this thesis was to propose an image segmentation method, which is capable of effective segmentation process with small datasets. Recently published ODE neural network was used for this method, because its features should provide better generalization in case of tasks with only small datasets available. The proposed ODE-UNet network was created by combining UNet architecture with ODE neural network, while using benefits of both networks. ODE-UNet reached following results on ISBI dataset: Rand: 0,950272 and Info: 0,978061. These results are better than the ones received from UNet model, which was also tested in this thesis, but it has been proven that state of the art can not be outperformed using ODE neural networks. However, the advantages of ODE neural network over tested UNet architecture and other methods were confirmed, and there is still a room for improvement by extending this method.

This thesis describes development of autonomous car for Carrera 143 racing track. Main objective of a car is to stop when traffic light shows red, or when there is an obstacle infront of a car. This paper also describes electric schemes used to control the car and their placement on the car. Algorithms developed for image processing are developed for processing unit Raspberry Pi Zero and are written in C/C++ programming language. OpenCV library is used for image processing. All source codes were developed in Microsoft Visual Studio 2019.

Due to massive expansion of the mass spectrometry and constant price growth of the human labour the optimalisation of the microbial samples preparation comes into question. This master thesis deals with design and implementation of a machine learning algorithm for segmentation of images of microbial colonies cultivated on Petri dishes. This algorithm is going to be a part of a controlling software of a MBT Pathfinder device developed by the company Bruker s. r. o. that automates the process of smearing microbial colonies onto a MALDI target plates. In terms of this thesis a several models of neural networks based on the UNet, UNet++ and ENet architecture were implemented. Based on a number of experiments investigating various configurations of the networks and pre-processing of the training datatset there was chosen an ENet model with quadruplet filter count and additional convolutional block of the encoder trained on a dataset pre-processed with round mask.

Automatická segmentace biologických struktur v mikro-CT datech je stále výzvou, protože často objekt zájmu (v našem případě obličejová chrupavka) není charakterizovaný unikátním jasem či ostrými hranicemi. V posledních letech se konvoluční neuronové sítě (CNNs) staly mimořádně populárními v mnoha oblastech počítačového vidění. Konkrétně pro segmentaci biomedicínských obrazů je široce používaná architektura U-Net. Nicméně v případě mikro-CT dat vyvstává otázka, zda by nebylo výhodnější použít 3D CNN. Diplomová práce navrhla CNN architekturu založenou na síti V-Net včetně metodologie pro předzpracování a postprocessing dat. Základní architektura byla dále optimalizována pomocí pokročilých architektonických modifikací jako jsou pyramidální modul dilatovaných konvolucí (ASPP modul), škálovatelná exponenciálně-lineární jednotka (SELU aktivační funkce), víceúrovňová kontrola učení (multi-output supervision) či bloky s hustými propojeními (Dense blocks). Pro učení sítě byly použity moderní přístupy jako zahřívání kroku učení (learning rate warmup) či AdamW optimalizátor. I přes to, že 3D CNN v úloze segmentace obličejové chrupavky nepřekonala U-Net, optimalizace zvýšila medián Dice koeficientu z 69,74 % na 80,01 %. Používání těchto pokročilých architektonických modifikací v dalším výzkumu je proto vřele doporučováno, jelikož můžou být přidány do libovolné architektury typu U-Net a zároveň výrazně zlepšit výsledky.

Master`s thesis is focused on mobile robotics and computer vision. There is briefly introduced a library of functions for image processing OpenCV. Then it deals with image processing and navigation of mobile robots using image data. There are described segmentation methods and methods for navigating through feature points.

The aim of this thesis is to recognize a walking person in a sequence of images by defining his or her reference points to compare the course of their movement and then to identify the scanned person. Methods „k-means“ and „mean shift“ are used to obtain the silhouette of the person. However “environment model estimation” method is used here before those mentioned above. It is a type of a difference method and it helps to specify the scanning area and shortens the time of segmentation. During the search for the reference points the thesis focuses on three areas: the centre of the head and both ankle joints. Those points are later determined on the previous image sequence and compared with the real locations of the centre of the head and ankle joints marked by the user. The thesis also focuses on comparing the movement courses of those points and tries to identify the people whose walks are being scanned. Problematic situations which occurred during the whole process are analyzed in the end. The result of the thesis is an algorithm which can locate a moving person in an image sequence (video) and determine the reference points (centre of the head and ankles) to compare them and identify the scanned person.

This paper deals with non-contact measurement of temperature in human faces. Principle of measurement of infrared radiation and construction of the thermal imager is described in a literature search. The main part of the paper is design of an algorithm for automatic processing and the detection of regions of interest in thermal images. The theoretical description of used methods is also included in this paper. The aim is to design and implement a program for automatic evaluation of temperature changes in a human face in a sequence of thermal images that were taken with short time delay. As a part of thesis is description of implementation of designed algorithm in programming enviroment MATLAB and the description of the user interface. The program was tested on the experimental data samples. Obtained results and possible limitations are also discused in this paper.

The PhD thesis deals with modern methods of image processing, especially image segmentation, classification and evaluation of parameters. It is focused primarily on processing medical images of soft tissues obtained by magnetic resonance tomography (MR) and microscopic images of tissues. It is easy to describe edges of the sought objects using of segmented images. The edges found can be useful for further processing of monitored object such as calculating the perimeter, surface and volume evaluation or even three-dimensional shape reconstruction. The proposed solutions can be used for the classification of healthy/unhealthy tissues in MR or other imaging. Application examples of the proposed segmentation methods are shown in this thesis. Research in the area of image segmentation is focused on methods based on solving partial differential equations. This is a modern method for image processing, often called the active contour method. It is of great advantage in the segmentation of real images degraded by noise with fuzzy edges and transitions between objects. The results of the thesis are methods proposed for automatic image segmentation and classification.
