Scirtothrips Dorsalis (Thysanoptera: Thripidae) recently has been recognized as a major source of the pest damage in the citrus fruit orchards. So its arrival has been predicted periodically but it is difficult to identify adults of the pest with the naked eyes because of their size smaller than the 0.8mm. In this paper, we propose a method to detect candidate areas for automatic identification of Scirtothrips Dorsalis on forecasting traps. The proposed method uses a histogram-based template matching where the composite image synthesized with the gray-scale image and the gradient image is used. In our experiments, images are acquired by the optical microscopy with 50 magnifications. To show the usefulness of the proposed method, it is compared with the method we previously suggested. Also, the performances when the proposed method is applied to noise-reduced images and gradient images are examined. The experimental results show that the proposed method is approximately 14.42% better than our previous method, 41.63% higher than the case that the noise-reduced image is used, and 21.17% higher than the case that the gradient image is used.

영상 검색을 위한 기존의 칼라 히스토그램 방법은 영상의 형상 정보를 포함하고 있지 않다. 본 논문에서는 로컬 형상 정보인 에지 정보에 칼라 정보를 접목시켰다. 각각의 세 종류의 에지(수평 에지, 수직 에지, 비 방향성 에지) 주위의 픽셀들에 대한 칼라 분포를 구한 후 그 각각의 칼라 분포를 기초로 구한 두 영상간의 거리 정보를 이용하여 영상들간의 유사도를 구했다. 따라서 본 논문에서 제안한 유사도는 한 종류의 에지 타입 (비 방향성 에지)을 이용한 방법에 비해 매칭 오류를 줄일 수 있었다. 실험 결과, 제안된 방법이 기존의 칼라 히스토그램과 에지 히스토그램을 이용한 방법에 비해 향상된 성능을 보였다.

본 논문에서는 투영된 모션과 히스토그램 인터섹션을 이용한 노이즈에 강건한 물체추적 방법을 제안한다. 기존의 방법은 템플릿 매칭, 물체의 경계선 재 검출, 물체의 움직임 정보 등을 사용하여 물체추적을 하였으나, 템플릿 매칭의 경우 많은 계산 시간을 요구하며 경계선을 재 검출하는 경우 윤곽선이 잘못 설정되는 경우가 있고 물체의 움직임 정보를 사용하는 경우에는 움직이는 카메라에서 움직이는 물체만을 추적하기가 쉽지 않은 단점이 있다. 본 논문에서는 투영된 모션과 질의 영상의 템플릿 마스크를 사용하여 물체의 이동, 회전과 스케일을 고려한 노이즈에 강건한 물체추적 기법을 제안한다. 질의영상은 영상분할 후 영역선택을 통하여 구성하고 물체의 인식은 색상을 이용한 히스토그램 인터섹션 기법을 사용한다. 물체의 이동은 가로 및 세로의 밝기 값을 1차원 신호로 투영하여 개략적인 움직임을 감지하고 이동에 대한 에러를 보정하며 회전과 스케일의 변화는 질의 영상의 템플릿 마스크를 이동하여 회전과 스케일에 맞게 변경하여 감지한다

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.

Additional high resolution satellite images, other period or site, are essential for efficient city modeling and analysis. However, the same ground objects have a radiometric inconsistency in different satellite images and it debase the quality of image processing and analysis. Moreover, in an urban area, buildings, trees, bridges, and other artificial objects cause shadow effects, which lower the performance of relative radiometric normalization. Therefore, in this study, we exclude shadow areas and suggest the selective histogram matching methods for image based application without supplementary digital elevation model or geometric informations of sun and sensor. We extract the shadow objects first using adjacency informations with the building edge buffer and spatial and spectral attributes derived from the image segmentation. And, Outlier objects like a asphalt roads are removed. Finally, selective histogram matching is performed from the shadow masked multi-temporal Quickbird-2 images.

In this paper we propose a very rapid moving object tracking method for an object-based auto focus on a smart phone camera. By considering the limit of non-learning approach on low-performance platforms, we use a sliding-window detection technique based on histogram features. By adapting the integral histogram, we solve the problem of the time-consuming histogram computation on each sub-window. For more speed up, we propose a local candidate search, and an adaptive scaling template method. In addition, we propose to apply a stabilization term in the matching function for a stable detection location. In experiments on our dataset, we demonstrated that we achieved a very rapid tracking performance demonstrating over 100 frames per second on a PC environment.

In this paper we propose a real-time moving object tracking method on a smart phone camera. By considering the limit of non-learning approach on low-performance platforms, we use the sliding-window detection technique based on histogram features. We solve the problem of the time-consuming histogram computation on each sub-window by adapting the integral histogram. For additional speed and tracking performance, we propose a new adaptive bin method. From the experiments on our dataset, we achieved high speed performance demonstrating 34~63 frames per second.

In stereo-view system, variations of target camera position or lighting conditions cause discrepancies on the luminance and chrominance components of stereo views. These discrepancies lead to inaccurate frame view prediction and low quality of 3 D video coding. In this paper, an efficient histogram interval calibration method is proposed for stereo-view coding, so as to compensate for the luminance component of target view. First the proposed method is analyzed by the histogram of the target image frame. Then, it divide two sections of histogram of that frame to correct the color discrepancies. Secondly, each section of the target frame is corrected the luminance component by identify the maximum matching region between the reference frame and the target frame. We have verified our proposed histogram matching method in comparison with the other color correction ones. Experimental results show that it can correct better luminance calibration results of PSNR(Peak Signal to Noise Ratio) and has less computation time.

Existing methods of object tracking use template matching, re-detection of object boundaries or motion information. The template matching method requires very long computation time. The re-detection of object boundaries may produce false edges. The method using motion information shows poor tracking performance in moving camera. In this paper, a robust object tracking algorithm is proposed, using projected motion and histogram intersection. The initial object image is constructed by selecting the regions of interest after image segmentation. From the selected object, the approximate displacement of the object is computed by using 1-dimensional intensity projection in horizontal and vortical direction. Based on the estimated displacement, various template masks are constructed for possible orientations and scales of the object. The best template is selected by using the modified histogram intersection method. The robustness of the proposed tracking algorithm has been verified by experimental results.
