비디오데이터의 증가에 따른 효율적 검색, 저장, 브라우징을 위한 방법론이 필요하게 되었다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 시스템을 구축하기 위한 첫 번째 단계인 비디오 분할기법을 제안하고자 한다. 이러한 비디오 분할은 샷경계검출 혹은 장면전환검출이라고 하는데 본 논문에서는 밝기 히스토그램과 에지갯수를 이용하여 프레임간의 유사도를 구별하고 이 유사도가 일정 임계값을 넘지 못하면 장면전환이 있는 것으로 간주한다. 점진적 장면전환검출은 현재프레임과 이전의 샷경계 프레임과의 유사도를 비교하여 검출한다. 다양한 비디오데이터에 공통적으로 적용할 수 있는 임계값을 설정하기 위해 상관관계(correlation)기법을 사용한다. 실험결과 급진적 장면전한은 각각 90%, 98%의 정확도(precision)와 회수율(recall)을 나타내었고 점진적 장면전환은 59%, 75%의 정확도와 회수율을 나타내었다.

이 논문은 음식인식 자동화를 위해서 음식 이미지를 표현하는 새로운 방법을 제시한다. 먼저, 사람이 음식 속 재료성문을 인식하는 방법을 모방하여, 음식이미지에서 윤곽선을 따라 다각형을 검출한다 그 흐름, 각 다각형의 특징 다각형에 해당하는 음식재료성분의 라벨은 다각형의 사이즈, 다각형의 가로세로 비율 - 이 추출된다. 여기서 음식재료성분의 라벨은 음식재료이미지로 훈련 받은 Semantic Texton Forests (STF)[3]에 의해 구해진다. 구해진 다각형의 특징을 이용해 음식이미지마다 다차원 히스토그램이 형성되는데, 이히스토그램은 컴퓨터가 사람과 유사하게 음식이미지를 이해할 수 있도록 표현된다. 이 히스토그램은 컴퓨터가 음식을 인식할 수 있도록 도와주는 중요한 특징으로 사용될 것이다.

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.

A histogram-based road border line extractor is proposed for an efficient road extraction from the high-resolution satellite imagery. The road border lines are extracted from an edge strength map based on the directional histogram difference between the road and the non-road region. The straight and the curved roads are extracted hierarchically from the edge strength map of the original image and the segmented road cluster images, and the road network is constructed based on the connectivity. Unlike the conventional approaches based on the spectral similarity, the proposed road extraction method is more robust to noise because it extracts roads based on the histogram, and is able to extract both the location and the width of roads. In addition, the proposed method can extract roads with various spectral characteristics by identifying the road clusters automatically. Experimental results on IKONOS multi-spectral satellite imagery with high spatial resolution show that the proposed method can extract the straight and the curved roads as well as the accurate road border lines.

We propose a face recognition method using the histograms of multi-resolution segments in order to effectively utilize the local information of faces. Since the variations in faces can occur in various sizes, the DFD method, which uses the histograms from the sub-regions of the same size, is not effective for obtaining local information of faces. In this paper, we first divide an image into several sub-regions and extract the DFD(Discriminant Face Descriptor) from each sub-region. By dividing each sub-region into several segments with multi-resolution and extracting histograms for each segment, we reduce the loss of local information in the process of recognition. The experimental results for the Yale B, AR, CAS-PEAL-R1 databases show that the proposed method improves the recognition performance compared to the existing DFD based method.

In this paper, we propose an object tracking algorithm based on color histogram and convolutional neural network model. In order to increase the tracking accuracy, we synthesize generic object tracking using regression network algorithm which is one of the convolutional neural network model-based tracking algorithms and a mean-shift tracking algorithm which is a color histogram-based algorithm. Both algorithms are classified through support vector machine and designed to select an algorithm with higher tracking accuracy. The mean-shift tracking algorithm tends to move the bounding box to a large range when the object tracking fails, thus we improve the accuracy by limiting the movement distance of the bounding box. Also, we improve the performance by initializing the tracking start positions of the two algorithms based on the average brightness and the histogram similarity. As a result, the overall accuracy of the proposed algorithm is 1.6% better than the existing generic object tracking using regression network algorithm.

A histogram equalization method have been used traditionally for the image enhancement of low quality images. This uses the transformation function, which is a cumulative density function of an input image, and it has mathematically maximum entropy. This method, however, may yield whitening artifacts. This paper proposes the weighted histogram equalization method based on histogram equalization. It has Weber-Fechner's law for a human's vision characteristics, and a dynamic range modification to solve the problem of some methods, which yield a transformation function, regardless of the input image. Finally, the proposed transformation function was calculated using the weighted average of Weber-Fechner and the histogram equalization transformation functions in a modified dynamic range. The simulation results showed that the proposed algorithm effectively enhances the contrast in terms of the subjective quality. In addition, the proposed method has similar or higher entropy than the other conventional approaches.

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.

This paper presents a hybrid method for improving the recognition performance, which is based on the nonlinear histogram equalization, features extraction, and statistical correlation of images. The nonlinear histogram equalization based on a logistic function is applied to adaptively improve the quality by adjusting the brightness of the image according to its intensity level frequency. The statistical correlation that is measured by the normalized cross-correlation(NCC) coefficient, is applied to rapidly and accurately express the similarity between the images. The local features based on independent component analysis(ICA) that is used to calculate the NCC, is also applied to statistically measure the correct similarity in each images. The proposed method has been applied to the problem for recognizing the 30-face images of 40*50 pixels. The experimental results show that the proposed method has a superior recognition performances to the method without performing the preprocessing, or the methods of conventional and adaptively modified histogram equalization, respectively.

A new practical implementation of a facial verification system using cumulative histogram of surface curvatures for the local and contour line areas is proposed, in this paper. The approach works by finding the nose tip that has a protrusion shape on the face. In feature recognition of 3D face images, one has to take into consideration the orientated frontal posture to normalize after extracting face area from the original image. The feature vectors are extracted by using the cumulative histogram which is calculated from the curvature of surface for the contour line areas: 20, 30 and 40, and nose, mouth and eyes regions, which has depth and surface characteristic information. The L1 measure for comparing two feature vectors were used, because it was simple and robust. In the experimental results, the maximum curvature achieved recognition rate of 96% among the proposed methods.
