Abstract

This paper proposes color segmentation for detecting missing persons in a smart lighting system using radar and camera sensors. Recently, smart lighting systems built-in radar and cameras have been efficient in saving energy and searching for missing persons, simultaneously. In smart lighting systems, radar detects moving objects and then the lights turn on and camera records. The video recorded is useful to find out missing persons. The color of their clothes worn in missing persons is one of critical hints to look for missing persons. Therefore, color segmentation is an effective means for detecting the color of their clothes. In this paper, during the color segmentation step, the ROI(Region of interest) setting based on the size of an object is applied and the background is reduced. According to experimental results, the color segmentation has good accuracy of more than 97%.

본 논문은 레이더와 카메라를 이용한 스마트 조명 시스템에서 실종자 탐지를 위한 색상 검출 방안을 제안한다. 최근 레이더와 카메라가 내장된 스마트 조명 시스템이 에너지 절약과 동시에 효율적인 실종자 검색에 도움이 된다고 보고 된 바 있다. 스마트 조명 시스템에서 레이다 센서는 조명 주변에 움직임을 감지한다. 조명 주변에서 움직임이 감지되면, 조명이 작동하고 카메라는 녹화기능을 수행한다. 여기서, 스마트 조명에 녹화된 영상은 실종자를 탐색하는 데 활용한다. 특히, 녹화된 영상에서 실종된 사람이 입고 있는 옷의 색상은 실종자를 찾는 데 중요한 단서 중의 하나이다. 이러한단서인 옷의 색상을 식별하기 위한 방법으로 색상 검출을 활용한다. 또한, 색상 검출 과정에서 배경의 영향을 줄이기 위해서 대상체를 고려한 ROI(Region of interest)를 적용한다. 실험 결과에 따르면, ROI를 적용한 경우 색상 검출의 정확도는 97% 이상을 보였다.
