본 논문은 컬러를 이용한 영상 검색 방법에 관한 것으로 영상 데이터의 효율적인 관리를 위해 먼저 전처리 단계로 웨이블릿 변환을 수행한 후 가장 낮은 저주파 부밴드 영상을 획득한다. 그리고, 변환 후 획득된 영상을 클러스터로 구분한 후, 고유치 및 고유 벡터를 이용하여 특징을 추출하여 색인 정보로 이용하였다. 클러스터링은 영상 화소의 컬러공간 상의 3차원 거리를 클러스터링의 기준으로 삼아 순차 영역 분할(Sequential Clustering) 방법을 적용하였다.

A video segmentation algorithm, which can extract objects even with non-stationary backgrounds, is proposed in this work. The proposed algorithm is composed of three steps. First, we perform an initial segmentation interactively to build the probability density functions of colors per each macro block via kernel density estimation. Then, for each subsequent frame, we construct a coherence strip, which is likely to contain the object contour, by exploiting spatio-temporal correlations. Finally, we perform the segmentation by minimizing an energy function composed of color, coherence, and smoothness terms. Experimental results on various test sequences show that the proposed algorithm provides accurate segmentation results.

본 논문은 논리 연산을 이용한 실시간 주행 차량 분할 및 추적에 관한 알고리즘을 제안하였다. 연속된 프레임 간에 논리연산을 이용하여 영상을 분할하고, 배경과 잡음을 제거하였으며 영상에서 주행차량의 이동 영역을 추출하였다. 주행차량들을 논리 연산을 이용하여 영상분할 함으로써 기존 방법에 비해 평활화 및 에지추출 단계에서 나타날 수 있는 문제점들을 제거하였고, 전처리 단계를 줄였으며, 알고리즘을 단순화 하였다. 또한 추적되는 영상으로부터 위치와 컬러등의 주행 차량의 특징을 직접 추출 가능하도륵 하였다.

Mass-customization is fast growing a segment of the apparel market. 2D Virtual wearing system is one of visual support tools that make possible to sell apparel before producing and reduce the time and costs related to product development and manufacturing in the world of apparel mass-customization. This paper is related to fabric color mapping method for 2D image-based virtual wearing system. In proposed method, clothing shape section of interest is segmented from a clothes model image using a region growing method, and then mapping a new fabric color selected by user into it based on its intensity difference map is processed. With the proposed method in 2D virtual wearing system, regardless of color or intensity of model clothes, it is possible to virtually change the fabric color with holding the illumination and shading properties of the selected clothing shape section, and also to quickly and easily simulate, compare, and select multiple fabric color combinations for individual styles or entire outfits.

Since the face in image content corresponds to individual information that can distinguish a specific person from other people, it is important to accurately detect faces not hidden in an image. In this paper, we propose a method to accurately detect a face from input images using a deep learning algorithm, which is one of the machine learning methods. In the proposed method, image input via the red-green-blue (RGB) color model is first changed to the luminance-chroma: blue-chroma: red-chroma ($YC_bC_r$) color model; then, other regions are removed using the learned skin color model, and only the skin regions are segmented. A CNN model-based deep learning algorithm is then applied to robustly detect only the face region from the input image. Experimental results show that the proposed method more efficiently segments facial regions from input images. The proposed face area-detection method is expected to be useful in practical applications related to multimedia and shape recognition.

In this paper, we propose a video data segmentation method using edge and color distribution of video frames and also develop a video browser by using the proposed algorithm. To segment a video, we use a 644-bin HSV color histogram and the edge information which generated with automatic threshold method. We consider scene's characteristics by using positions and colo distributions of object in each frame. We develop a hierarchical and a shot-based browser for video browsing. We also show that our proposed method is less sensitive to light effects and more robust to motion effects than previous ones like a histogram-based method by testing with various video data.

In this paper we propose the block based image segmentation method using the cyclic properties of hue components in HSI color model. In proposed method we use center point instead of hue mean values as the hue representatives for regions in image segmentation considering hue cyclic properties and we also use directed distance for the hue difference among regions. Furthermore we devise the simple and effective method to get critical values through control parameter to reduce the complexity in the calculation of those in the conventional method. From the experimental results we found that the segmented regions in the proposed method is more natural than those in the conventional method especially in texture and red tone regions. In the simulation results the proposed method is better than the conventional methods in the in the evaluation of the human segmentation dataset presented Berkely Segmentation Database.

Mean shift procedure is applied for the data points in the joint spatial-range domain and achieves a high quality. However, a color image is segmented differently according to the inputted spatial parameter or range parameter and the demerit is that the image is broken into many small regions in case of the small parameter. In this paper, to improve this demerit, we propose the method that groups similar regions using region merging method for over-segmented images. The proposed method converts a over-segmented image in RGB color space into in HSI color space and merges similar regions by hue information. Here, to preserve edge information, the proposed method use by merging constraints to decide whether regions is merged or not. After then, we merge the regions in RGB color space for non-processed regions in HSI color space. Experimental results show the superiority in region's segmentation results.

혀의 상태는 인체 내부의 생리적 병리적 특성의 변화를 나타내므로, 한의학에서 중요한 지수가 된다. 한의학에서 설진 방법은 환자의 설질과 설태의 변화를 관찰함으로써 질병을 진찰하는 방법이므로, 편리할 뿐만 아니라 비침습적이고, 널리 쓰이고 있다. 그러나 설진은 광원, 환자의 자세, 한의사의 상태와 같은 검사 환경에 의해 영향을 받는다. 표준화된 진단을 위한 자동 진단 시스템을 개발하기 위하여 질병의 예후를 판단할 수 있는 설태 분류 방법은 필수적이지만, 컬러의 경계가 모호하므로 설태와 설질을 구분하기는 매우 어렵다. 이 논문에서 분할된 설체 내에서 컬러를 계층적으로 분류하여 설태를 분류하는 방법을 제안한다. 또한 설태 영역을 정확하게 분할하도록 하였다. 제안된 방법은 표준화된 진단을 가능하도록 한다.

An image retrieval system retrieves and offers same of similar image based on various features of image. This paper present a brand image retrieval system based on color and shape of image. We use the image for a color information by dividing into the area and extracting the area color distribution histogram. We use for the shape information by preprocessing of the boundary extraction, the centroid extraction, angular sampling etc. and calculating of the sum of the distance from the centroid to the boundary, the standard deviation, and the rate of long axis to short axis. We accomplish the retrieval through a similarity measurement by using the color and shape information which is extracted in this way.
