This paper is proposed to image retrieval system using color and shape feature. Color feature used to four maximum value feature among the maximum value extracted from local color distribution histogram. The preprocessing of shape feature consist of edge extraction and weight central point extraction and angular sampling. The sum of distance from weight central point to contour and variation and max/min used to shape feature. The similarity is estimated compare feature of query image with the feature of images in database and the candidate of image is retrieved in order of similarity. We evaluate the effectiveness of shape feature and color feature in experiment used to two hundred of the closed image. The Recall and the Precision is each 0.72 and 0.53 in the result of average experiment. So the proposed method is presented useful method.

In this paper, we propose a novel face authentication method based on LBP matching of individual major blocks in mobile environment. In order to construct individual major blocks from photos, we find the blocks that have the highest similarity and use different numbers of blocks depending on the probability distribution by applying threshold. And, we use multi-radius LBP histograms in the determination of individual major blocks to improve performance of generic LBP histogram based approach. By using the multi-radius LBP histograms in face authentication, we can successfully reduce the false acceptance rate compare to the previous methods. Also, we can see that the proposed method shows low error rate about 7.72% compare to the pervious method in spite of use small number of blocks about 44.59% only.

This paper proposes a skin segmentation method based on region histograms of the color quantization map. First, we make a quantization map of the image using the JSEG algorithm and detect the skin pixel. For the skin region detection, the similar neighboring regions are set by its similarity of the size and location between the previous frame and the present frame from the each region of the color quantization map. Then we compare the similarity of histogram between the color distributions of each quantized region and the skin color model using the histogram distance. We select the skin region by the threshold value calculated automatically. The skin model is updated by the skin color information from the selected result. The proposed algorithm was compared with previous algorithms on the ECHO database and the continuous images captured under time varying illumination for adaptation test. Our approach shows better performance than previous approaches on skin color segmentation and adaptation to varying illumination.

Recognition and Tracking of interesting object is the significant field in Computer Vision. Mean-Shift algorithm have chronic problems that some errors are occurred when histogram of tracking area is similar to another area. in this paper, we propose to solve the problem. Each algorithm blocks skin color filtering, face detect and Mean-Shift started consecutive order assists better operation of the next algorithm. Avoid to operations of the overhead of tracking area similar to a histogram distribution areas overlap only consider the number of white pixels by running the Viola-Jones algorithm, simple arithmetic increases the convergence of the Mean-Shift. The experimental results, it comes to 78% or more of white pixels in the Mean-Shift search area, only if the recognition of the face area when it is configured to perform a Viola-Jones algorithm is tracking the object, was 100 percent successful.

A number of video indexing and retrieval algorithms have been proposed to manage large video databases efficiently. The video similarity measure is one of most important technical factor for video content management system. In this paper, we propose the luminance characteristics model to measure the video similarity efficiently. Most algorithms for video indexing have been commonly used histograms, edges, or motion features, whereas in this paper, the proposed algorithm is employed an efficient similarity measure using the luminance projection. To index the video sequences effectively and to reduce the computational complexity, we calculate video similarity using the key frames extracted by the cumulative measure, and compare the set of key frames using the modified Hausdorff distance. Experimental results show that the proposed luminance projection model yields the remarkable improved accuracy and performance than the conventional algorithm such as the histogram comparison method, with the low computational complexity.

본 논문에서는 동영상에서 에지 정보와 히스토그램 분석을 이용하여 실시간으로 움직이는 물체를 검출하고 추적하는 방법을 제안하였다. 물체 검출에서는 먼저, 입력영상에 대하여 형태에 관한 정보를 그대로 유지하면서 자료의 양을 줄일 수 있는 에지(Edge)를 추출한다. 추출된 에지 영상에 차연산과 이진화를 수행하여 물체를 검출하고, 검출된 물체 영역은 이진 변환밀도에 대한 수평 누적값의 합을 수평 수직 최대 누적값을 더한 값으로 나눈 임계값으로 구한다. 물체 추적에서는 현재 프레임에서 검출된 물체와 이전 프레임에서 검출된 물체와의 유사성을 비교하여 추적한다. 실험결과 물체 검출속도를 개선시켰고, 실시간으로 물체를 추적할 수 있었으며, 국부적인 움직임까지도 추적할 수 있었다.

Various methods have been studying to maintain and apply the multimedia inform abruptly increasing over all social fields, in recent years. For retrieval of still images, we is implemented content-based image retrieval system in this paper that make possible to retrieve similar objects from image database after segmenting query object from background if user request query. Query image is processed median filtering to remove noise first and then object edge is detected it by canny edge detection. And query object is segmented from background by using convex hull. Similarity value can be obtained by means of histogram intersection with database image after securing color histogram from segmented image. Also segmented image is processed gray convert and wavelet transform to extract spacial gray distribution and texture feature. After that, Similarity value can be obtained by means of banded autocorrelogram and energy. Final similar image can be retrieved by adding upper similarity values that it make possible to not only robust in background but also better correct object retrieval by using object segmentation method.

In this paper, we propose a two-stage head tracking algorithm adequate for real-time active camera system having pan-tilt-zoom functions. In the color convergence stage, we first assume that the shape of a head is an ellipse and its model color histogram is acquired in advance. Then, the min-shift method is applied to roughly estimate a target position by examining the histogram similarity of the model and a candidate ellipse. To reflect the temporal change of object color and enhance the reliability of mean-shift based tracking, the target histogram obtained in the previous frame is considered to update the model histogram. In the updating process, to alleviate error-accumulation due to outliers in the target ellipse of the previous frame, the target histogram in the previous frame is obtained within an ellipse adaptively shrunken on the basis of the model histogram. In addition, to enhance tracking reliability further, we set the initial position closer to the true position by compensating the global motion, which is rapidly estimated on the basis of two 1-D projection datasets. In the subsequent stage, we refine the position and size of the ellipse obtained in the first stage by using shape information. Here, we define a robust shape-similarity function based on the gradient direction. Extensive experimental results proved that the proposed algorithm performs head hacking well, even when a person moves fast, the head size changes drastically, or the background has many clusters and distracting colors. Also, the propose algorithm can perform tracking with the processing speed of about 30 fps on a standard PC.
