This paper proposes novel FE-CBIRS that finds best position of a cut to be retrieved based on color feature distribution in digital contents of IPTV. Conventional CBIRS have used a method that utilizes both color and shape information together to classify images, as well as a method that utilizes both feature information of the entire region and feature information of a partial region that is extracted by segmentation for searching. Also, in the algorithm, average, standard deviation and skewness values are used in case of color features for each hue, saturation and intensity values respectively. Furthermore, in case of using partial regions, only a few major colors are used and in case of shape features, the invariant moment is mainly used on the extracted partial regions. Due to these reasons, some problems have been issued in CBIRS in processing time and accuracy so far. Therefore, in order to tackle these problems, this paper proposes the FE-CBIRS that makes searching speed faster by classifying and indexing the extracted color information by each class and by using several cuts that are restricted in range as comparative images.

In this paper, we propose a road lane color recognition method from the image obtained from a driving vehicle. In autonomous vehicle techniques, lane information becomes more important as the level of autonomous driving such as lane departure warning and dynamic lane keeping assistance is increased. In particular the lane color recognition, especially the white and the yellow lanes, is necessary technique because it is directly related to traffic accidents. In this paper, color information of lane and road area is mapped to a 2-dimensional S-color space based on lane detection. And the center of the feature distribution is obtained by using an improved mean-shift algorithm in the S-color space. The lane color is determined by using the distance between the center coordinates of the color features of the left and right lanes and the road area. In various illumination conditions, about 97% color recognition rate is achieved.

In this paper, we propose the method the vehicle color recognizing in the image including a vehicle. In an image, the color feature vector of a vehicle is extracted and by using the backpropagation learning algorithm, that is the multi-layer perceptron, the recognized vehicle color. By using the RGB and HSI color model the feature vector used as the input of the backpropagation learning algorithm is the feature of the color used as the input of the neural network. The color of a vehicle recognizes as the white, the silver color, the black, the red, the yellow, the blue, and the green among the color of the vehicle most very much found out as 7 colors. By using the image including a vehicle for the performance evaluation of the method proposing, the color recognition performance was experimented.

In this paper we present a content-based image retrieval algorithm using the visual feature vectors which describe the spatial characteristics of objects. The proposed technique uses the Gaussian mixture model(GMM) to represent multi-colored objects and the expectation maximization(EM) algorithm is employed to estimate the maximum likelihood(ML) parameters of the model. After image segmentation is performed based on GMM, the shape and color features are extracted from each object using Fourier descriptors and color histograms, respectively. Image retrieval consists of two steps: first, the shape-based query is carried out to find the candidate images whose objects have the similar shapes with the query image and second, the color-based query is followed. The experimental results show that the proposed algorithm is effective in image retrieving by using the spatial and visual features of segmented objects.

본 논문에서는 동영상을 대상으로 하는 기존의 시각주의 시스템의 성능을 향상시킨 새로운 시스템에 대하여 설명한다. 제안하는 시스템은 기존의 시스템이 가지고 있던 한계점인 서로 반대되는 특징을 가지는 색상에서 하나의 특징만을 고정적으로 선택하던 것을 극복하여, 서로 반대되는 특징 중 현저항이 더 높은 색상 특징을 선택하여 입력 들어오는 영상에 적응적인 현저항 추출을 하였다. 도한 시간 현저항 정보를 추가적으로 고려할 수 있도록 하여 동영상에 대한 처리도 가능하도록 하였고, 성능 평가 시 인간을 대상으로 한 설문 조사 실험을 추가하여 보다 인간의 시각 인식과 유사한 시스템임을 증명하였다.

In this paper, we present am image retrieval method based on color-spatial features using quadtree and texture information extracted from object MBRs in an image. Tile proposed method consists of creating a DC image from an original image, changing a color coordinate system, and decomposing regions using quadtree. As such, conditions are present to decompose the DC image, then the system extracts representative colors from each region. And, image segmentation is used to search for object MBRs, including object themselves, object included in the background, or certain background region, then the wavelet coefficients are calculated to provide texture information. Experiments were conducted using the proposed similarity method based on color-spatial and texture features. Our method was able to refute the amount of feature vector storage by about 53%, but was similar to the original image as regards precision and recall. Furthermore, to make up for the deficiency in using only color-spatial features, texture information was added and the results showed images that included objects from the query images.

Extracting skin color is significant in adult image detection. However, conventional methods still have essential problems in extracting skin color. That is, colors of human skins are basically not the same because of individual skin difference or difference races. Moreover, skin regions of images may not have identical color due to makeup, different cameras used, etc. Therefore, most of the existing methods use predefined skin color models. To resolve these problems, in this paper, we propose a new adult image detection method that robustly segments skin areas with an input image-adapted skin color distribution model, and verifies if the segmented skin regions contain naked bodies by fusing several representative features through a neural network scheme. Experimental results show that our method outperforms others through various experiments. We expect that the suggested method will be useful in many applications such as face detection and objectionable image filtering.

내용기반 이미지 검색을 위한 기존의 대부분의 기법들은 이미지 데이터에 효과적으로 적용할 수 있는 고차원의 색인구조를 고려하지 않았다. 이 연구에서는 이미지 데이터베이스에서 보다 효율적이며 정확도가 높은 검색결과를 기대할 수 있는 색상 특징 데이터 표현방법인 ECCV기법, 모양 특징 데이터 표현방법인 EPA기법을 소개한다. 또한 고차원 데이터에 대해서도 검색속도를 향상시킬 수 있는 새로운 다차원 공간 인덱스 구조인 XS-트리를 제안한다. 이 방법을 이용하면 특징표현단계에서는 차원의 수가 증가되어 저장에 필요한 공간을 많이 요구하지만 인덱싱 단계를 거치면 이미지 검색 속도가 향상되며 정확한 이미지를 검색 할 수 있는 장점이 있다.

본 논문에서 색상을 기반으로 한 알고리즘으로 얼굴을 검출하고 검출된 얼굴을 움직이는 Pan-Tilt 카메라 상에서 추적하는 방법을 제안하고자 한다. 얼굴 검출 알고리즘은 얼굴색의 특징인 피부색상을 이용하여 후보영역을 검출하고 후보 영역에서 얼굴형태의 특징인 타원 형태를 이용하여 최종적으로 얼굴을 검출하였다. 얼굴 추적은 영상에서 검출된 얼굴의 크기 및 위치 정보와 Pan-Tilt 카메라의 위치정보를 이용하여 항상 얼굴이 카메라의 중심에 위치하도록 하였다. 우리는 실제 실험에서 초당 10프레임 이상의 실시간 얼굴 검출 및 추적에 성공하였다.
