Abstract

Color segmentation is one of the most challenging problems in image processing especially in case of handling the images with cluttered background. Great amount of color segmentation methods have been developed and applied to real problems. In this paper, we suggest a new methodology. Our approach is focused on background extraction, as a complimentary operation to standard foreground object segmentation, using self-organizing feature selective property of unsupervised self-learning paradigm based on the competitive algorithm. The results of our studies show that background segmentation can be achievable in efficient manner.

잡음이 심한 배경을 가진 영상 내부의 영역 분할 처리 과정은 해결하기 매우 어려운 문제로 인식되어 왔다. 그에 따라 이 문제를 해결하기 위한 기초적 방법론에 관한 연구 및 주어진 문제에 따라 실제적 적용을 위한 다양한 노력이 있어왔다. 본 논문에서는 영상 분할을 위한 새로운 접근법을 제시하는 것을 목적으로 하였다. 새로운 방법론으로서 기존의 관심 객체 분할의 반대인 배경 영역 분할이라는 새로운 관점을 연구의 중심으로 하였다. 기반 이론으로는 승자 독식 원리의 자기 학습 이론 알고리즘에서 특징 선택을 위한 자기 조직화를 분석하고 이를 문제 해결에 적용하였다. 실제적 영상 데이터를 통한 실험을 통해 배경 영역 분할을 적용한 영상 분할은 효과적으로 수행될 수 있음을 실험 결과로 제시해 보였다.
