본 논문에서는 대규모 영상 데이터베이스로부터 모양 영상에 대한 검색을 빠르고 효율적으로 수행하기 위해 해싱기법을 변형한 색인구조와 검색방법을 제안한다. 제안된 색인 구조는 이진 모양 영상(binary shape image)의 불변 모멘트 집합(invariant moments set)을 특징 벡터로 사용하여 다차원으로 구성된다. 이 색인 구조를 기반으로 제안된 해싱을 변형한 검색방법은 기존의 방법들에 비해 검색공간을 줄임으로써 검색속도를 높인다. 본 논문에서 제안한 색인구조와 검색방법을 1000개의 이진 모양 영상들에 적용해 본 결과 검색공간이 전체 공간의 10% 미만으로 줄어드는 효과가 있었다.

내용 기반 영상검색에서 다중 특징을 사용하여 영상을 검색하는 기존의 방법들은 영상에서 특징간의 상관관계를 고려하지 않고 각 특징을 개별적으로 추출하여 검색에 사용한다. 따라서 특징간의 최적의 가중치를 찾아야 하는 문제가 있다. 이 논문에서는 내용기반 영상검색을 위해 색과 질감 특징을 효과적으로 표현할 수 있는 새로운 특징 벡터인 CCE (channel color energy)를 제안한다. 실험을 통하여 제안하는 방법이 정규 가중거리 비교 방법에 비해 우수한 성능을 보이는 것을 확인하였다.

내용기반 영상 검색 시스템은 데이터베이스에 저장된 정지영상의 색이나, 질감, 형태 등의 특징을 이용한다. 본 연구는 실험 영상 집합에서 주요 객체를 추출하여, 객체들의 외형으로부터 분리된 토큰들을 군집화 한 후, 그 군집단위를 색인어로 사용하여 검색하는 방법이다. 기존의 내용기반 영상 검색 시스템에서 모양 정보는 그 표현과 색인 정합 등의 문제로 처리 방법이 명확하지 않았고, 회전, 크기 변화, 폐색 등에 민감했다. 따라서 기존 방법의 문제점을 해결하기 위해서 토큰을 이용한 색인을 이용하여 지역 정보와, 이들 지역 정보들의 관계에 의한 전역 정보를 복합적으로 이용한 방법을 제안한다.

A film scanner is one of the input devices for ac acquiring high resolution and high qualify of digital images from the existing optical film. Recently the demand of film scanners have risen for experts of image printing and editing fields. However, due to the nonlinear characteristic of light source and sensor, colors of the original film image do not correspond to the colors of the scanned image. Therefore color correction for the scanned digital image is essential in film scanner. In this paper, neural network method is applied for the color correction to CIE L/sup *//a/sup *//b/sup */ color model data converted from RGB color model data. Also a film scanner hardware with 12 bit color resolution for each R, G, B and 2400 dpi is implemented by using the TMS320C32 DSP chip and high resolution line sensor. An experimental result shows that the average color correction rate is 79.8%, which is an improvement of 43.5% than our previous method, polygonal regression method.

최근 컬러를 취급하는 개인용 컴퓨터나 프린터, 스캐너, 디지털 카메라 등의 사용이 필수적으로 되고있다. 하지만 이런 입·출력 장치들은 제조사나 제품모델에 따라 색이 다르게 보여진다. 따라서 이런 입, 출력 장치의 색특성을 고려하여 맞게 영상신호를 보정함으로써 원래의 색에 가깝게 출력할 수 있는 색 관리 시스템(CMS)이 개발되고 있다 색 관리 시스템은 색 공간 변환 모듈과 색특성 데이터가 저장되어 있는 입.출력 장치의 ICC 프로파일들로 구성이 되는데 장치간의 색 일치가 성공적으로 이루어지기 위해서는 무엇보다도 장치의 색특성 데이터가 정확하게 저장된 ICC프로파일이 마련되어야 한다.

HDR(High dynamic range) imaging is a technique to represent a dynamic range of real world. Exposure fusion is a method to obtain a pseudo-HDR image and it directly fuses multi-exposure images instead of generating the true-HDR image. However, it results ghost artifacts while fusing the multi-exposure images with moving objects. To solve this drawback, temporal consistency assessment is proposed to remove moving objects. Firstly, multi-level threshold bitmap and brightness bitmap are proposed. In addition, hue-angle constancy map between multi-exposure images is proposed for compensating a bitmap. Then, two bitmaps are combined as a temporal weight map. Spatial domain image quality assessment is used to generate a spatial weight map. Finally, two weight maps are applied at each multi-exposure image and combined to get the pseudo-HDR image. In experiments, the proposed method reduces ghost artifacts more than previous methods. The quantitative ghost-free evaluation of the proposed method is also less than others.

Color pictures on CPT are generally affected by the receiver characteristic and the condition of exterior illuminants. Moreover, readjustment of incorrect color in the CPT causes color distortion on a given picture. This paper describes a color adjustment method for modelling of CPT at the view point of observer in the ordinary lighting condition. To develop this method, we proposed ways of luminance recompensation under the gamma transformation for the intensity of illuminant, hue/saturation compensation for the types of illuminant and control of specific color for the reference. Based on these method, a color correlation system is suggested with the goal of reducing the color errors which are represented due to the influence of reflectance component of illuminants, the gamma transformation of CPT and the frequently adjustment of reference scene to set a optimum color.

It is common sense that providing specific odor can increase the video reality when video scene has an object having specific odor. However, people still do not know how to increase video reality and emotional immersion when there is no information on specific odor in the scene. So, present study explores how we improve video reality and immersion when the scene has no concrete odor information from some objects. Especially, this research focuses on diverse previous studies about matching between odor and color and then we expect providing odor can increase video reality if the odor is well-matched with the video's color. To do this, we collected 48 odors and investigated which color was well-matched with each odor. As a result, we get 5 odors which had clearly well-matched colors and decide ill-matched colors of those 5 odors as complementary colors of well-matched colors (Experiment 1). After that, we organize 3 conditions such as coloring image and video clip with well-matched color (color-odor match condition), coloring those with ill-matched color (color-odor mismatch condition), and coloring those with achromatic color by removing color saturation (color-odor neutral condition). Under each of these three conditions, image-odor matching, increment of reality with the odor, increment of immersion with the odor, and odor preference are asked (Experiment 2; 3). The results showed that the scores of all 4 questions in color-odor match condition were higher than color-odor mismatch condition and neutral condition. These results mean that providing matching odor with the scene's color in video is very effective to increase video reality and immersion. We expect experiencing better reality and immersion with olfactory information by adding various future research.

The carotid intima-media thickness (IMT) is very important, because the severity of it is an independent predictor of transient cerebral ischemia, stroke, and coronary events such as myocardial infarction. The conventional image processing to measure the IMT has not been satisfactory, because the methods have relied on the manual section drawing and a regional segmentation by differential estimation. We propose a new image processing technology effective to extract features from the carotid artery image whose pixels have the directional vector properties with composed color distribution. The technique we presented here is not by differential variation but by verification of the layer properties of carotid artery image. Iterated vertical and horizontal analysis and segmentation of the IMT image show the vector characteristics. This new technique makes it possible to cluster the layers statistically, and to classify mathematical correlation between regions and resulting in correct measurements of thickness and its variation. The advantages and effectiveness of this approach are applicable to region process and character extraction of such a vector image.

Algorithms for intrinsic images reduce color differences in RGB images caused by the temperature of black-body radiators. Based on the reference light and detecting single invariant direction, these algorithms are weak in real images which can have multiple invariant directions when the scene illuminant is a colored illuminant. To solve these problems, this paper proposes a method of acquiring an intrinsic image by omnidirectional projection of an ROI and a translation of white patch in the ${\chi}$-chromaticity space. Because it is not easy to analyze an image in the three-dimensional RGB space, the ${\chi}$-chromaticity is also employed without the brightness factor in this paper. After the effect of the colored illuminant is decreased by a translation of white patch, an invariant direction is detected by omnidirectional projection of an ROI in this chromaticity space. In case the RGB image has multiple invariant directions, only one ROI is selected with the bin, which has the highest frequency in 3D histogram. And then the two operations, projection and inverse transformation, make intrinsic image acquired. In the experiments, test images were four datasets presented by Ebner and evaluation methods was the follows: standard deviation of the invariant direction, the constancy measure, the color space measure and the color constancy measure. The experimental results showed that the proposed method had lower standard deviation than the entropy, that its performance was two times higher than the compared algorithm.
