This paper describes the color comparison analysis of flame in each standard color model in order to propose the optimal color model for image processing based flame detection algorithm. Histogram intersection values were used to analyze the separation characteristics between color of flame and color of non-flame in each standard color model which are RGB, YCbCr, CIE Lab, HSV. Histogram intersection value in each color model and components is evaluated for objective comparison. The analyzed result shows that YCbCr color model is the most suitable for flame detection by average HI value of 0.0575. Among the 12 components of standard color models, each Cb, R, Cr component has respectively HI value of 0.0433, 0.0526, 0.0567 and they have shown the best flame separation characteristics.

칼라가 물체 인식에 아주 효율적인 단서를 제공하지만 칼라 분포는 시청 조건과 카메라의 위치에 아주 큰 영향을 받는다. 생김새와 모양의 변화에 의한 칼라 분포 변화 문제를 해결하기 위해 본 논문에서는 밝기 값의 변화에 영향을 받지 않고, 색상(hue) 성분에 민감한 칼라 벡터각(color vector angle)을 이용하여 칼라 에지를 추출한 후, 영상의 화소들을 평탄 화소와 에지 화소로 구분하여 칼라 특징 값을 추출하였다. 에지 화소의 경우에는 에지 주위 칼라 쌍의 전체 분포를 HLS 색좌표계의 비균일 양자화를 통해 칼라 인접 히스토그램(color adjacency histogram)으로 표현하고, 평탄 화소의 경우에는 HLS 색좌표계의 비균일 양자화와 칼라 벡터각 균일 양자화를 통해 칼라 벡터각 히스토그램(color vector angle histogram)을 구성하여 공간적인 칼라분포를 표현하였다. 제안한 칼라 히스토그램을 이용하여 영상 검색에 적용하여 성능을 실험한 결과, 작은 빈의 수를 가지는 제안한 방법이 기존의 방법들보다 훨씬 효율적이고, 생김새와 모양의 변화에 아주 강건한 영상 검색이 가능하였고, 기존의 칼라 히스토그램 역투사 방법보다 훨씬 정확한 물체 위치 추정이 가능함을 확인할 수 있었다.

In multi-view video, illumination disharmony between neighboring views can occur on account of different location of each camera and imperfect camera calibration, and so on. Such discrepancy can be the cause of the performance decrease of multi-view video coding by mismatch of inter-view prediction which refer to the pictures obtained from the neighboring views at the same time. In this paper, we propose an efficient histogram-based prefiltering algorithm to compensate mismatches between the luminance and chrominance components in multi-view video for improving its coding efficiency. To compensate illumination variation efficiently, all camera frames of a multi-view sequence are adjusted to a predefined reference through the histogram matching. A Cosited filter that is used for chroma subsampling in many video encoding schemes is applied to each color component prior to histogram matching to improve its performance. The histogram matching is carried out in the RGB color space after color space converting from YCbCr color space. The effective color conversion skill that has respect to direction of edge and range of pixel value in an image is employed in the process. Experimental results show that the compression ratio for the proposed algorithm is improved comparing with other methods.

In recent, many researches have been studying sensitivity and psychology of human on color. Among them, a picture of children can be a tool to represent their emotion. Information of colors and direction on a child's picture often represent his internal psychological states unconsciously. In this paper, we propose the method that extract the color and direction information in order to analyze the psychology in the picture of children. Histogram clustering is used for color information detection. Direction information extract from inner edge value. In the result of experiments, we shows that our method is similar to the pattern classification of the general method.

In this paper, we proposed a method of content-based image retrieval using variable region. Content-based image retrieval uses color histogram for the most part. But the existing color histogram methods have a disadvantage that it reduces accuracy because of quantization error and absence of spatial information. In order to overcome this, we convert color information to HSV space, quantize hue factor being pure color information, and calculate histogram of the factor. On the other hand, to solve the problem of the absence of spatial information, we select object region in consideration of color feature and region correlation. It maintains the size of region in the selected object region. But non-object region is integrated in one region. After of selection variable region, we retrieve using color feature. As the result of experimentation, the proposed method improves 10$\%$ in average of precision.

In this paper, I proposed a eyebrow detection algorithm in human face, that is important element in facial recognition. The proposed algorithm consists of four processes: face region detection using color region segmentation. eye detection by template matching, eyebrow candidate region detection in detected eye region, and eyebrow detection by thresholding using the modified histogram that gets luminance value in the candidate region. The test results show that the proposed algorithm can detect eyebrow region very effectively in facial image.

컬러 히스토그램은 멀티미디어 이미지 데이터의 특성을 표현하기 위하여 널이 이용되어 왔다. 그러나 컬러 히스토그램을 고차원으로 설정할 경우 색인 구조에 효율적이지 못할 뿐만 아니라 유사도 계산에서도 고비용이 요구된다. 이러한 단점을 보완하기 위해 히스트그램의 차원을 줄이는 여러 방법이 제시되어 왔으나 이미지의 색상정보 손실을 피할 수 없으며, 이미지의 전체 히스토그램으로는 이미지의 레이아웃을 고려할 수 없기 때문에 필터링을 통한 후보 선정 시 상이한 이미지가 선택되어지는 문제점을 지닌다. 본 논문에서는 이미지를 일정한 크기의 타일로 분할한 이미지 타일 평균 RGB 방법을 제안하였으며, 실험을 통하여 제안한 방법의 성능을 평가하였다.

This paper is proposed to image retrieval system using color and shape feature. Color feature used to four maximum value feature among the maximum value extracted from local color distribution histogram. The preprocessing of shape feature consist of edge extraction and weight central point extraction and angular sampling. The sum of distance from weight central point to contour and variation and max/min used to shape feature. The similarity is estimated compare feature of query image with the feature of images in database and the candidate of image is retrieved in order of similarity. We evaluate the effectiveness of shape feature and color feature in experiment used to two hundred of the closed image. The Recall and the Precision is each 0.72 and 0.53 in the result of average experiment. So the proposed method is presented useful method.

A new tongue examination model by using color analysis according to the taste division of tongue. The proposed system consists of a tongue image acquisition in a predefined template, taste region segmentation, color distribution analysis and abnormality decision of tongue by color analysis using Hue-Saturation histograms and the part of a mobile application service. We divided 4 basic taste(bitter, sweet, salty and sour) regions and performed color distribution analysis targeting each region under HSI(Hue Saturation Intensity) color model. To minimize the influence of illumination, the histograms of H and S components only except U are utilized. Using the analyzed results, the abnormality is discriminated by the criteria of the histogram range of normal tongues. Finally, a self tongue diagnosis system which can be used anytime and anywhere on mobile environment.

본 논문에서는 경치 영상들에 대해 영상의 내용(색상, texture)에 기반하여 검색하는새로운 방법을 제안한다. 경치 영상들은 색상이 주 특징이며 결합되는 texture 특징들에 의해 영상 정보간의 유사성의 파악이 더 용이하다. 색상 특징은 HSV 색상 히스토그램에 의해 특징을 나타내며 영상의 전역적 색상 특징과 지역적 색상 특징으로 세분화되고 texture 특징은 2차원 Garbor filter에 의해 영상별 특징을 나타낸다. 시스템의 검색은 예제 영상에 의한 질의 방식으로 예제 영상을 주면 이와 유사한 영상들이 유사도가 높은 순위대로 출력하게 된다.
