본 논문에서 제안하는 방법은 영상에서 중심 객체를 추출하기 위해 에지와 색상 정보에서 추출한 특집 지도와 배경의 영향을 줄이기 위친 창조 지도(reference map)를 제안한 것이 특징이다. 특징 지도는 다른 영역과 현저하게 구분되는 영역을 검출하기 위해서 영상의 특징 값(feature)들을 이용해서 구성한 영상이라고 할 수 있다. 그리고 창조 지도는 배경의 영향을 최소화하면서, 객체가 존재할 확률이 높은 부분을 나타내는 지도이다. 제안하는 방법은 밝기 차 정보를 가지고 있는 에지와 YCbCr 컬러모델과 HSV 컬러모델의 색상 성분을 특징 값으로 사용한다. 이들 특징 값을 이용해서 특징 지도를 구성하는 방법으로 영상 내 색상 차에 의해서 나타나는 경계부분을 구하는 방법을 사용한다. 이 방법을 사용하여 에지 지도와 두 개의 색상 지도의 3가지 특징 지도를 생성한다. 다음으로, 영상 배경의 영향을 줄이기 위해 참조 지도를 구한다. 구해진 참조 지도와 특징 지도들을 이용해서 결합 지도(combination map)를 생성한다. 결함 지도로부터 다각형의 객체 후보 영역을 구하고, 객체 후보 영역에 영상분할을 적용하여 중심 객체를 추출한다. 실험에 사용된 영상들은 Corel DB를 사용하였으며, 실험결과로써 precision은 84.3%, recall은 81.3%의 성능을 보인다.

In this thesis, the color information is used to extract the traffic sign territory, and for recognizing the extracted image, it proposes the traffic sign recognition system that applies the error back propagation algorithm. The proposed method analyzes the color of traffic sign to extract and recognize the possible territory of traffic sign. The method of extracting the possible territory is to use the characteristics of YUV, YIQ, and CMYK color space from the RGB color space. Morphology uses the geometric characteristics of traffic sign to make the image segmentation. The recognition of traffic signs can be recognized by using the error back propagation algorithm. As a result of the experiment, the proposed system has proven its outstanding capability in extraction and recognition of candidate territory without the influence of differences in lighting and input image in various sizes.

We propose the method of analysis, separation, and express from normalized and standard method to reduce the problem with the existing scene change detection and the complicated and variety of images of real change. In this paper, we propose a new local ${\lambda}^2$-test which was combined the ${\lambda}^2$-existing test methods and local color histograms. This method is robust method of abrupt and gradual detection and solve the problem of traditional method.

In this paper, we present a new segmentation algorithm for color images based on mathematical morphology and a Gaussian mixture model(GMM). We use the morphological operations to determine the number of components in a mixture model and to detect their modes of each mixture component. Next, we have adopted the GMM to represent the probability distribution of color feature vectors and used the deterministic annealing expectation maximization (DAEM) algorithm to estimate the parameters of the GMM that represents the multi-colored objects statistically. Finally, we segment the color image by using posterior probability of each pixel computed from the GMM. The experimental results show that the morphological operation is efficient to determine a number of components and initial modes of each component in the mixture model. And also it shows that the proposed DAEM provides a global optimal solution for the parameter estimation in the mixture model and the natural color images are segmented efficiently by using the GMM with parameters estimated by morphological operations and the DAEM algorithm.

본 논문에서는 객체 위주의 컬러 영상 검색을 위하여 영상의 saliency map을 이용해 객체 중심의 영상을 생성하고, 객체와 그 주변 영역에서의 대표 색상이 가지는 통계적 특성과 공간적 분포 정보를 이용하는 방법을 제안한다. 먼저, 영상의 saliency map을 이진화하여 영상을 객체/배경으로 분할하고 객체를 중심으로 객체/배경의 비율이 일정한 일정 크기의 영상을 생성한다. 생성된 영상에서 대표 색상을 추출하고, 각 색상이 영상에서 어떻게 분포하는가를 나타내는 이진 공간분포 지도를 형성한다. 그 후 영상 간의 대표 색상마다 이진 공간분포의 차이를 비교함으로써, 색상의 통계적 특성과 공간적 분포가 동시에 반영된 특징으로 영상을 검색한다. 본 논문에서 제안한 saliency map을 이용한 대표 색상 기반의 영상 검색 기법은 기존의 대표 색상 기반의 영상 검색보다 우수한 성능을 보여준다.

본 논문에서는 컬러 영상 기반에서 배경에 강인한 피부 영역 검출 기법을 제안하고 손 인식기법을 활용한 응용프로그램을 제안한다. 코드북 모델[1]을 이용하여 배경/전경을 분리하고, 분리된 전경에서 피부색정보를 이용하여 관심영역을 도출한다. 피부 영역을 검출하기 위한 단계에서는 YCbCr, HSV, LUV 색상 모델의 혼합하여 피부색 후보 영역에 대한 임계구간을 통해 강인한 피부 영역을 분할한다. 분할된 영역을 관심영역으로 설정하고 Kalman filter를 이용하여 영역을 추적한다. 결과적으로 복잡하고 고정된 배경에서 조명에 강인한 피부 영역 분할 및 추적이 가능하며 이를 응용한 사용자 인터페이스로 사용될 수 있다.

A method of the region extraction and recognition of a traffic light and speed sign board in the real road environment is proposed. Traffic light was recognized by using brightness and color information based on HSI color model. Speed sign board was extracted by measuring red intensity from the HSI color information We improve the recognition rate by performing an incline compensation of the speed sign for directions clockwise and counterclockwise. The proposed algorithm shows a robust recognition rate in the image sequence which includes traffic light and speed sign board.

This paper is related to a 2D virtual color hairstyler using skinny smudge tool. The smudge tool is the popular graphic tool embedded in Adobe Photoshop. The smudge tool is used to smear paint on your canvas. The effect is much like finger painting. You can use the smudge tool by clicking on the smudge icon and clicking on the canvas and while holding the mouse button down, dragging in the direction you want to smudge. A disadvantage of previous smudge tool is to also smear pixels in the undesired region according to generating the target image as blending all pixels in a diameter of the master. In this paper to reduce the disadvantage, the skinny smudge tool based on the image segmentation for a master shape is proposed. The proposed skinny smudge tool has the advantage of applying the smudge effect to the desired regions regardless of the background as the master shape adhered closely to the contour shape is extracted by color image segmentation.

This paper suggests techniques to enhance coding time which is a problem in traditional fractal compression and to improve fidelity of reconstructed images by determining fractal coefficient through adaptive selection of block approximation formula. First, to reduce coding time, we construct a linear list of domain blocks of which characteristics is given by their luminance and variance and then we control block searching time according to the first permissible threshold value. Next, when employing three-level block partition, if a range block of minimum partition level cannot find a domain block which has a satisfying approximation error, There applied to 24-bpp color image compression and image techniques. The result did not occur a loss in the image quality of the image when using the encoding method, such as almost to the color in the RGB image compression rate and image quality, such as gray-level images and showed good.

In this paper, we propose an automatic segmentation of the meniscus based on active shape model using interpolated shape information in MR images. First, the statistical shape model of meniscus is constructed to reflect the shape variation in the training set. Second, the generation technique of interpolated shape information by using the weight according to shape similarity is proposed to robustly segment the meniscus with large variation. Finally, the automatic meniscus segmentation is performed through the active shape model fitting. For the evaluation of our method, we performed the visual inspection, accuracy measure and processing time. For accuracy evaluation, the average distance difference between automatic segmentation and semi-automatic segmentation are calculated and visualized by color-coded mapping. Experimental results show that the average distance difference was $0.54{\pm}0.16mm$ in medial meniscus and $0.73{\pm}0.39mm$ in lateral meniscus. The total processing time was 4.87 seconds on average.
