We propose a color transfer method that used color contrast based templates to express the visual difference clearly between objects, while remaining the quality of the input image. Our algorithm employs colors of both the input image and template distributed on the $a^{\ast}b^{\ast}$chrominance plane of CIE $L^{\ast}a^{\ast}b^{\ast}$color space. The templates are made by considering the effect of color contrast and have the shape of either a line or a curve represented color distribution of the basic colors based gradation image. These tempates can be modeled on spline curves. We also generate simply new templates with the different basic colors by moving the control points of that curve. The color transfer method using the templates is done through a regressive analysis and color matching. We maintained color coherence of the input image by transforming similarly the color distribution of an input image to the one of templates.

In this paper, the k-nearest templates method is proposed to combine multiple classifiers effectively. First, the method decomposes training samples of each class into several subclasses based on the outputs of classifiers to represent a class as multiple models, and estimates a localized template by averaging the outputs for each subclass. The distances between a test sample and templates are then calculated. Lastly, the test sample is assigned to the class that is most frequently represented among the k most similar templates. In this paper, C-means clustering algorithm is used as the decomposition method, and k is automatically chosen according to the intra-class compactness and inter-class separation of a given data set. Since the proposed method uses multiple models per class and refers to k models rather than matches with the most similar one, it could obtain stable and high accuracy. In this paper, experiments on UCI and ELENA database showed that the proposed method performed better than conventional fusion methods.

In this paper, we propose a method for detecting pedestrian, problem-solving situations that occur in a cross. When a pedestrian crossing and other, there occurs a problem of detecting the other pedestrians for detecting a specific pedestrian in the image. The proposed method for solving the problem is as follows. First, select a specific pedestrian detected by bounding box, and extracts the area as a template. Detecting a pedestrian from the image using the HOG, and designated as a candidate region. The final choice of the pedestrian detected by comparison with a candidate pedestrian with the specific pedestrian extracted for template. In comparison, using the Template matching, Histogram comparison and LBP.

A method of the region extraction and recognition of a speed sign in the real road environment is proposed. The region of speed sign is extracted by using color information and then numbers are segmented in the region. We improve the recognition rate by performing an incline compensation of the speed sign for directions clockwise and counterclockwise. In image sequences of the real road environment, a robust recognition results are achieved with speed signs at normal condition as well as inclined.

The CGO (Chip on Glass) to be measured a few micro unit is captured by line scan camera for the accuracy of chip inspection. But it is very sensitive to scan speed and lighting conditions. In this paper, we propose the methods to increase the accuracy of faulty detection by image subtraction. Image subtraction is detected faultiness by subtracting the image of a ' perfect ' COG from trot of the sample under tests. For image subtraction to be successful, the two images must be pre챠sely registered The two images is registered by the area segmentation pattern matching, and the result image get by operating the gradient mask image and the image to practice subtraction. A series of experimentation showed that the proposed algorithm shows substantial improvement over the other image subtraction methods.

본 논문에서는 비전 기반 3차원 얼굴 모델의 자동 표정 생성 시스템을 제안한다. 기존의 3차원 얼굴 애니메이션에 관한 연구는 얼굴의 움직임을 나타내는 모션 추정을 배제한 얼굴 표정 생성에 초점을 맞추고 있으며 얼굴 모션 추정과 표정 제어에 관한 연구는 독립적으로 이루어지고 있다. 제안하는 얼굴 모델의 표정 생성 시스템은 크게 얼굴 검출, 얼굴 모션 추정, 표정 제어로 구성되어 있다. 얼굴 검출 방법으로는 얼굴 후보 영역 검출과 얼굴 영역 검출 과정으로 구성된다. HT 컬러 모델을 이용하며 얼굴의 후보 영역을 검출하며 얼굴 후보 영역으로부터 PCA 변환과 템플릿 매칭을 통해 얼굴 영역을 검출하게 된다. 검출된 얼굴 영역으로부터 얼굴 모션 추정과 얼굴 표정 제어를 수행한다. 3차원 실린더 모델의 투영과 LK 알고리즘을 이용하여 얼굴의 모션을 추정하며 추정된 결과를 3차원 얼굴 모델에 적용한다. 또한 영상 보정을 통해 강인한 모션 추정을 할 수 있다. 얼굴 모델의 표정을 생성하기 위해 특징점 기반의 얼굴 모델 표정 생성 방법을 적용하며 12개의 얼굴 특징점으로부터 얼굴 모델의 표정을 생성한다. 얼굴의 구조적 정보와 템플릿 매칭을 이용하여 눈썹, 눈, 입 주위의 얼굴 특징점을 검출하며 LK 알고리즘을 이용하여 특징점을 추적(Tracking)한다. 추적된 특징점의 위치는 얼굴의 모션 정보와 표정 정보의 조합으로 이루어져있기 때문에 기하학적 변환을 이용하여 얼굴의 방향이 정면이었을 경우의 특징점의 변위인 애니메이션 매개변수를 획득한다. 애니메이션 매개변수로부터 얼굴 모델의 제어점을 이동시키며 주위의 정점들은 RBF 보간법을 통해 변형한다. 변형된 얼굴 모델로부터 얼굴 표정을 생성하며 모션 추정 결과를 모델에 적용함으로써 얼굴 모션 정보가 결합된 3차원 얼굴 모델의 표정을 생성한다.

The Automobile has developed and changed through the years from the invention and increased human-being's scope of activity. Junction Box, one of the part of automobile, is inspected by human eyes which caused mistakes and slow progress. To achieve the speed and accuracy the system was compensated by vision system which is inspecting automatically. This paper is automatic inspection of fuse and relay which is inserted in the junction box by checking the color and pattern of the cover. After checking the performance of the system by using the junction box, the result was 100 percent perception and open the possibility to inspect junction box fast and easy and accurate if it is applied to the industry.

Recently the need for advanced security technologies are increasing as the occurrence of intelligent crime is growing fastly. Previous liveness detection and fake face detection methods are required for the improvement of accuracy in order to be put to practical use. In this paper, we propose a new liveness detection method using pupil reflection, and new fake image detection using Adaboost detector. The proposed system detects eyes based on multi-scale Gabor feature vector in the first stage, The template matching plays a role in determining the allowed eye area. And then, the reflected image in the pupil is used to decide whether or not the captured image is live or not. Experimental results indicate that the proposed method is superior to the previous methods in the detection accuracy of fake images.

In this paper, a method is proposed that enhances the performance of the facial expression recognition using template matching of Local Binary Pattern(LBP) histogram. In this method, the face image is segmented into blocks, and the LBP histogram is constructed to be used as the feature of the block. Block dissimilarity is calculated between a block of input image and the corresponding block of the model image. Image dissimilarity is defined as the weighted sum of the block dissimilarities. In conventional methods, the block weights are assigned by intuition. In this paper a new method is proposed that optimizes the weights from training samples. An experiment shows the recognition rate is enhanced by the proposed method.

컴퓨터지원진단(Computer Aided Diagnosis; CAD) 시스템은 방사선 의사들이 흉부 X-ray 영상에서 결절을 탐지하는데 있어 실제적으로 발생할 수 있는 오진율을 줄이고, 폐 결절이 존재하는 폐야에서 결절의 존재 유무를 판단하여 검출을 표시함으로써 진단율을 개선시킬 수 있도록 하였다. 본 논문은 흉부 X-ray 영상에서의 폐 결절을 추출하는데 유전자 알고리즘(Genetic Algorithm)을 이용한 템플릿 매칭(Template Matching) 방법을 제안한다. 제안한 방법은 흉부 X-ray 영상에 존재하는 결절과 레퍼런스 이미지를 매칭시켜 적합도를 계산한 후, 그 값을 통하여 수치가 낮은 개체를 선택하여 높은 개체와 교차시킨다. 그리고 레퍼런스 이미지는 결절이 존재하는 환자 X-ray 영상에서 샘플 노듈을 추출한 후 가우시안 분포를 갖는 512개의 레퍼런스 이미지를 생성하였다. 본 논문에서 사용된 영상은 결절 50개, 비결절 30개와 흉부 X-ray 영상에서 육안으로 판별이 가능한 결절 영상을 20개를 포함하여 총 100개 영상을 사용하였다. 실험 결과 83%의 결절을 자동 추출 하였으며, 가장 적절한 레퍼런스 이미지를 발견하고 이를 흉부영상에 매칭시켜 정확한 결절의 위치를 확인하였다.
