컬러영상은 흑백 영상에 비해 보기 아름다울 뿐만 아니라 보다 다양하고 현실적인 정보를 나타낼 수 있으며, 특히 색의 대비를 이용하여 특정한 부분의 가시도를 높일 수 있는 장점이 있다. 최근에는 컬러 모니터의 대중화와 말티미디어 기술의 보급으로 인하여 대부분의 컴퓨터 사용자가 칼라 디스플레이를 사용하고 있으며, 이를 이용한 영상의 재현 및 제품 디자인이 자연스러운 영상색의 재현은 정확한 정보 의 전달 뿐만 아니라 사용자의 만족도 및 감성적 제품 개발에 중요한 요인이 되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 색을 가장 자연스러운 상태로 재현할 수 있는 Contrast/Brightness 상태를 알아보고, Contrast/Brightness 변화가 화면에 재현된 영상색에 미치는 영향에 대하여 분석하였다.

복잡한 배경의 컬러 이미지에서 시점불변의 얼굴 탐지 방법이 제안되었다. 얼굴과 그 구성요소는 바라보는 각도에 따라서 다른 형태를 갖기 때문에 복잡한 배경 이미지에서 시점불변의 탐지를 위해서 얼굴의 컬러 정보를 이용하여 얼굴의 위치를 찾는 방법을 제안한다. 찾아진 얼굴은 눈과 입 등의 구성요소들의 기하학적 정보를 이용하여 검증된다. 제안된 방법은 크기, 이동, 방향에 불변한다. 또한 몇 십장의 화상을 이용한 실험 결과를 제공한다.

스테가노그라피는 송/수신자간에 비밀 통신을 할 때 제3자가 기밀 정보를 인식하지 못하도록 디지털화된 각종 미디어에 몰래 숨겨서 통신을 한 수 있는 데이터 은닉의 한 분야이다. 특히 흑/백으로만 구성된 이진 영상 및 색상의 표현이 제한된 다치 영상 등에서 비시각적으로 기밀정보를 숨긴다는 것이 일반 컬러 영상에 비해 많은 어려움을 수반한다. 본 제안방식은 시각적인 영향을 작게 주는 패턴에만 기밀 데이터를 삽입하는 방식으로 기밀 데이터를 은닉시킨 후에도 화질의 열화가 거의 발생하지 않아 시각적으로 인지하기 어렵도록 개선한 방식이다.

본 연구에서는 실시간으로 얼굴을 인식, 검증하기 위한 전처리 단계로써 얼굴을 고속으로 추출하고 추출된 영상을 개선하기 위한 효율적인 기법들을 소개한다. 먼저 RGB로 획득되는 영상을 인간의 시각 구조와 유사한 HSI 컬러 모델로 변환하고 여기서 인간의 피부 영역에 해당하는 컬러 분포를 조사하여 대강의 얼굴 영역을 찾고 이 영역을 대상으로 두 개의 가변 템플릿과의 상관도(Correlation)를 이용하여 최적의 얼굴 안면을 찾는다. 보다 나은 얼굴 인식을 위하여 검출된 얼굴 안면 이미지에서 조명 평면(Illumination plane) 이미지를 추출하여 먼저 불균일성을 보정한 다음 평활화(Equalization)를 수행함으로써 영상을 개선한다.

This paper proposes a method of content-based image retrieval using region feature vector in order to overcome disadvantages of existing color histogram methods. The color histogram methods have a weak point that reduces accuracy because of quantization error, and more. In order to solve this, we convert color information to HSV space and quantize hue factor being purecolor information and calculate histogram and then use thus for retrieval feature that is robust in brightness, movement, and rotation. Also we solve an insufficient part that is the most serious problem in color histogram methods by dividing an image into sixteen regions and then comparing each region. We improve accuracy by edge and DC of DCT transformation. As a result of experimenting with 1,000 color images, the proposed method has showed better precision than the existing methods.

According as vehicles increases, system such as Advanced Drivers Assistance System(ADAS ) to inform forward situation to driver is required. In this paper, we proposes method to detect forward vehicles and lane from sequential color images by basis process to inform forward situation to driver. We detect a front vehicle using that shadow area exists on part under vehicles and that road area occupies many parts even if road traffic is confused. We detect lane information using that lane part is white order by reverse characteristic of shadow area. This method shows good result in case road is confused or there is direction indication to road. HSV color space is selected for color modeling. This method uses saturation component and value component in HSV color model to detect vehicles and lane. It uses statistics features of HSV component and position to know whether detected vehicles area is vehicles such as vehicles previous frame. To verify the effects of the proposed method, we capture the road images with notebook and CCD camera for PC and Present the results such as processing time, accuracy and vehicles detection against the images.

This paper proposes a system detecting the area of traffic sign, which uses color rate as the information of colors, and corner point and distance rate as the information of morphology. In this system, a candidate area is extracted by performing dilation operation on the binary image made by the color rate of R, G, B components and by detecting corner point and center point through mask. The area of traffic sign with varied shapes is extracted by calculating the distance rate from center point, which is the information of morphology. The results of this experiment demonstrate that in this system which is invariable regardless of its size and location, it is possible to extract the exact area from varied traffic signs such as the shapes of triangle, circle, inverse triangle, and square as well as from the images at both day and night when brightness value is greatly different. Moreover, it demonstrates great accuracy and speed in processing.

This paper proposed a new algorithm for binarization and removal of noises in color images with characters and pictures. Binarization was performed by threshold which had computed with color-relationship relative to the number of pixel in background and character candidates and pre-threshold for dividing of background and character candidates in input images. The pre-threshold has been computed by the histogram of R, G, B In respect of the images, while background and character candidates of input images are divided by the above pre-threshold. As it is possible that threshold can be dynamically decided by the quantity of the noises, and the character images are maintained and the noises are removed to the maximum. And, in this study, we made the noise pattern table as a result of analysis in noise pattern included in the various color images aiming at removal of the noises from the Images. Noises included in the images can figure out Distribution by way of the noise pattern table and pattern matching itself. And then this Distribution classified difficulty of noises included in the images into the three categories. As removal of noises in the images is processed through different procedure according to the its classified difficulties, time required for process was reduced and efficiency of noise removal was improved. As a result of recognition experiments in respect of extracted characters in color images by way of the proposed algorithm, we conformed that the proposed algorithm is useful in a sense that it obtained the recognition rate in general documents without colors and pictures to the same level.
