유비쿼터스 시대가 다가오면서, 많은 사람들은 모르는 장소에서 자신의 위치와 목적지까지의 경로에 대한 정보를 알고 싶어할 것이다. 기존의 네비게이션(navigation)을 위한 비전기술은 고차원과 저차원 특징값을 이용하였다. 텍스춰 정보, 색상 히스토그램과 같은 저차원 특징값은 영상의 특징을 정확하게 표현하기 어려우며, 마커와 같은 고차원 정보는 실험환경을 구축하는데 어려움이 있다. 우리는 기존 저/고차원의 특징값 대신, 영상의 특징을 표현하고 인덱싱(indexing)하기 위한 유용한 정보를 많이 포함하고 있으며, 실제환경에서 널리 분포되어있는 중차원 특징값인 문자영상을 이용한다. 문자영상추출은 MLP(Multi-layer perceptron)와 CAMShift알고리즘을 결합한 방법을 이용하며, 서로 다른 장소지만 같은 문자를 가진 곳에서 인식을 수행하기 위해 문자영상의 크기와 기울기를 기반으로 한 영상 검색공간을 대상으로 영상매칭을 수행한다. 실험에서 문자영상을 포함하는 직사각형 검색공간으로 인해 다양한 크기와 기울기에서 높은 인식률을 보이며, 간단한 계산으로 빠른 수행시간을 가진다.

In this paper, we propose the region-based image retrieval method using JSEG which is a method for unsupervised segmentation of color-texture regions. JSEG is an algorithm that discretizes an image by color classification, makes the J-image by applying a region to window mask, and then segments the image by using a region growing and merging. The segmented image from JSEG is given to a user as the query image, and a user can select a few segmented regions as the query region. After finding the MBR of regions selected by user query and generating the multiple window masks based on the center point of MBR, we extract the feature vectors from selected regions. We use the accumulated histogram as the global descriptor for performance comparison of extracted feature vectors in each method. Our approach fast and accurately supplies the relevant images for the given query, as the feature vectors extracted from specific regions and global regions are simultaneously applied to image retrieval. Experimental evidence suggests that our algorithm outperforms the recent image-based methods for image indexing and retrieval.

This paper proposes a feature extraction method for sketch-based image retrieval of animation character. We extract the specific regions using the detection of scene change and correlation points between two frames, and the property of animation production. We detect the area of focused similar colors in extracted specific region. And it is used as feature descriptor for image retrieval that focused color(FC) of regions, size, relation between FCs. Finally, an user can retrieve the similar character using property of animation production and user's sketch as a query Image.

In this paper, we proposed the image compression algorithm using triangular feature based GHA. In feature extraction, the input images are divided into eight areas of triangular shape, that has positional information for face image compression. The proposed algorithm reduces blocking effects in image reconstruction and contains informations of face feature and shapes of face as input images are divided into eight. We used triangular feature extraction for positional information and GHA for shape information of face images. Simulation results show that the proposed algorithm has a better performance than the block based K-means and non-parsed image based GHA in PSNR at the same bpp.

Recently, the surveillance system is highly being attention. Various Technologies as detecting object from image than determining and recognizing if the object are person are universally being used. Therefore, In this paper shows detecting on this kind of object and local context based facial feather detection algorithm is being advocated. Detect using Gabor Bunch in the same time Bayesian detection method for revision to find feather point is being described. The entire system to search for object area from image, context-based face detection, feature extraction methods applied to improve the performance of the system.

In this paper, we propose an algorithm that generates multi-view images by grid-mesh based image domain warping using occlusion mask and various image features obtained from the stereoscopic images. In the proposed algorithm, we first extract image saliency map, line segments and disparity saliency map from stereo images and then get them through a process that improves the quality of extracted features. This process is accomplished in two steps. In the first step, reliability of disparity saliency map on object boundary regions is enhanced by using occlusion information. And in the second step, we enhance the quality of image features in terms of temporal consistency by using temporal consistency information for stereo images. With these enhanced features, multi-view images are generated by grid-mesh based image domain warping technique. Experimental results show that the proposed algorithm performs better than existing algorithms in terms of visual quality.

In this paper, we propose a selective feature extraction algorithm between Markov transition probability and co-occurrence probability for an effective image splicing detection. The Features used in our method are composed of the difference values between DCT coefficients in the adjacent blocks and the value of Kullback-Leibler divergence(KLD) is calculated to evaluate the differences between the distribution of original image features and spliced image features. KLD value is an efficient measure for selecting Markov feature or Co-occurrence feature because KLD shows non-similarity of the two distributions. After training the extracted feature vectors using the SVM classifier, we determine whether the presence of the image splicing forgery. To verify our algorithm we used grid search and 6-folds cross-validation. Based on the experimental results it shows that the proposed method has good detection performance with a limited number of features compared to conventional methods.

A widely used single image-based 3D face reconstruction method, 3D morphable shape model, reconstructs an accurate 3D facial shape when 2D facial feature points are correctly extracted from an input face image. However, in the case that a user's cooperation is not available such as a real-time 3D face reconstruction system, this method can be vulnerable to the errors of automatic facial feature point extraction. In order to solve this problem, we automatically classify extracted facial feature points into two groups, erroneous and correct ones, and then reconstruct a 3D facial shape by using only the correctly extracted facial feature points. The experimental results showed that the 3D reconstruction performance of the proposed method was remarkably improved compared to that of the previous method which does not consider the errors of automatic facial feature point extraction.

This paper explains the hardware structure of SURF(Speeded Up Robust Feature) based feature point extractor and its FPGA verification result. SURF algorithm produces novel scale- and rotation-invariant feature point and descriptor which can be used for object recognition, creation of panorama image, 3D Image restoration. But the feature point extraction processing takes approximately 7,200msec for VGA-resolution in embedded environment using ARM11(667Mhz) processor and 128Mbytes DDR memory, hence its real-time operation is not guaranteed. We analyzed integral image memory access pattern which is a key component of SURF algorithm to reduce memory access and memory usage to operate in c real-time. We assure feature extraction that using a Vertex-5 FPGA gives 60frame/sec of VGA image at 100Mhz.

In this paper, we propose a Korean character recognition method from outboard signboard images. We have chosen 808 classes of Korean characters by an analysis of frequencies of appearance in a dictionary of signboard names. The proposed method mainly consists of three steps: feature extraction, rough classification, and coarse classification. The first step is to extract a nonlinear directional segments feature, which is immune to the distortion of character shapes. The second step computes an ordered set of 10 recognition candidates using a minimum distance classifier. The last step reorders the recognition candidates using a Fisher discriminant measure. As experimental results, the recognition accuracy is 80.45% for the first choice, and 93.51% for the top five choices.
