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.

Effective and efficient representation of color features of multiple video frames is an important vet challenging task for visual information management systems. This paper Proposes a Video Browsing Service(VBS) that provides both the video content retrieval and the video browsing by the real-time user interface on Web. For the scene segmentation and key frame extraction of video sequence, we proposes an efficient scene change detection method that combine the RGB color histogram with the X2 (Chi Square) histogram. Resulting key frames are linked by both physical and logical indexing. This system involves the video editing and retrieval function of a VCR's. Three elements that are the date, the need and the subject are used for video browsing. A Video Browsing Service is implemented with MySQL, PHP and JMF under Apache Web Server.

본 논문에서는 내용 기반 동영상 검색을 위한 효율적이고 자동적인 특징 추출 알고리듬을 컬러 정보와 모션 정보에 대해 제안하고, 이를 동영상 검색 시스템에 적용한다. 컬러 정보의 경우 기존의 key-frame단위의 컬러 특징 추출의 한계를 극복하고, 동영상의 컬러 히스토그램 정보와 컬러의 공간분포 정보를 반영할 수 있는 컬러 특징 추출 알고리듬을 제안한다. 그리고 모션특징은 MPEG-1 동영상 내의 모션 벡터와 컬러 정보를 조합한 컬러-모션 특징을 추출하여 사용한다. 최종적으로 추출된 특징을 이용한 검색 시스템을 구현해, 제안된 알고리듬의 성능을 평가하였다.

본 논문의 목적은 범용 USB 카메라 입력 영상으로부터 실시간으로 얼굴을 추적하는 시스템을 구현하는데 있다. 먼저 USB 카메라로부터 영상을 입력받은 후 2차원 RGB 컬러 모델링으로 추출한 살색 영역을 찾고 가로, 세로 프로젝선 정보를 이용하여 얼굴을 찾는다. 기존의 RGB 컬러 모델을 개선하여 빛에 강인한 모델링을 하였으며, 프로젝션 정보를 이용할 때 일어나는 에러를 최소화하기 위하여 누적 히스토그램 영역 결합 알고리즘을 제안하였다. 구현한 시스템은 움직임이 많은 영상에도 빠른 속도를 보였으며, 특히 영상의 움직임이적은 경우 카메라에서 영상을 보여 주는 것과 동시에 얼굴을 찾아내어, 연속적인 프레임을 처리할 수 있는 성능을 보였다.

본 논문에서는 통계적 방법에 기초한 사과 선별시스템을 이용하여 사과의 색깔을 식별하고자 한다. 이를 위해 T-검정을 이용하여 에지를 검출하였고 검출된 에지로부터 체인코드를 이용하여 사과 영상의 경계선과 환상대 영역을 구하였다. 우리는 주어진 사과영상의 환상대 영역으로부터 R, G, B 채널상에서 히스토그램과 평균 명암값을 구하여 색깔 판정용 표준사과로부터 얻은 기준값들과 비교함으로서 사과의 색깔을 식별하였다.

Face detection algorithm of OpenCV recognizes the faces by Haar matching between input image and Haar features which are learned through a set of training images consisting of many front faces. Therefore the face detection method by Haar matching yields a high face detection rate for the front faces but not in the case of the pan and deformed faces. On the assumption that distributional characteristics of color histogram is similar even if deformed or side faces, a face detection method using the histogram pattern matching is proposed in this paper. In the case of the missed detection and false detection caused by Haar matching, the proposed face detection algorithm applies the histogram pattern matching with the correct detected face area of the previous frame so that the face region with the most similar histogram distribution is determined. The experiment for evaluating the face detection performance reveals that the face detection rate was enhanced about 8% than the conventional method.

Methods of contrast enhancement have problem such as side effect of over-enhancement with non-gaussian histogram distribution, tradeoff enhancement efficiency against brightness preserving. In order to enhance contrast at various histogram distribution, segmentation to region with gaussian distribution and then enhance contrast each region. First, we segment an image into several regions using GMM(Gaussian Mixture Model)fitting by that k-mean clustering and EM(Expectation-Maximization) in $L^*a^*b^*$ color space. As a result region segmentation, we get the region map and probability map. Then we apply local contrast enhancement algorithm that mean shift to minimum overlapping of each region and preserve brightness histogram equalization. Experiment result show that proposed region based contrast enhancement method compare to the conventional method as AMBE(AbsoluteMean Brightness Error) and AE(Average Entropy), brightness is maintained and represented detail information.

Compared with traditional video monitoring systems that provide a video-recording function as a main service, an intelligent video monitoring system is capable of extracting/tracking objects and detecting events such as car accidents, traffic congestion, pedestrian detection, and so on. Thus, the object tracking is an essential function for various intelligent video monitoring and surveillance systems. In this paper, we propose a background and local histogram-based object tracking approach for intelligent video monitoring systems. For robust object tracking in a live situation, the result of optical flow and local histogram verification are combined with the result of background subtraction. In the proposed approach, local histogram verification allows the system to track target objects more reliably when the local histogram of LK position is not similar to the previous histogram. Experimental results are provided to show the proposed tracking algorithm is robust in object occlusion and scale change situation.

In this paper, we propose cause diagnosis method of semiconductor defects from semiconductor industrial images. Our method constructs feature database (DB) of defect images. Then, defect and input images are subdivided by uniform block. And the block similarity is measured using histogram kai-square distance after color histogram calculation. Then, searched blocks in each image are merged into connected objects using clustering. Finally, the most similar defect image from feature DB is searched with the defect cause by measuring cluster similarity based on features of each cluster. Our method was validated by calculating the search accuracy of n output images having high similarity. With n = 1, 2, 3, the search accuracy was measured to be 100% regardless of defect categories. Our method could be used for the industrial applications.

Most of image binarization algorithms analyzes the intensity distribution using the histogram for the determination of threshold value. When the intensity difference between the foreground object and the background is great, the histogram shows the tendency to be bimodal and the selection of the histogram valley as the threshold value shows the good result. On the other side. when the intensity difference is not great and the histogram doesn't show the bimodal property, the histogram analysis doesn't support the selection of the proper threshold value. This Paper Proposed the novel binarization method that applies the fuzzy membership function to each color value on the RGB color model and, by using the operation results, separates the features having the great readability from the background. The proposed method prevents the loss of information incurred by the gray scale conversion by using the RGB color model and extracts effectively the readable features by using the fuzzy inference Compared with the traditional binarization methods, the proposed method is able to remove the majority of noise areas and show the improved results on the image of transport containers , etc.
