The human faces do not have distinct features unlike other general objects. In general the features of eyes, nose and mouth which are first recognized when human being see the face are defined. These features have different characteristics depending on different human face. In this paper, We propose a face recognition algorithm using the hidden Markov model(HMM). In the preprocessing stage, we find edges of a face using the locally adaptive threshold scheme and extract features based on generic knowledge of a face, then construct a database with extracted features. In training stage, we generate HMM parameters for each person by using the forward-backward algorithm. In the recognition stage, we apply probability values calculated by the HMM to input data. Then the input face is recognized by the euclidean distance of face feature vector and the cross-correlation between the input image and the database image. Computer simulation shows that the proposed HMM algorithm gives higher recognition rate compared with conventional face recognition algorithms.

The background subtraction method is mainly used for the real-time extraction and tracking of moving objects from image sequences. In the outdoor environment, there are many changeable environment factors such as gradually changing illumination, swaying trees and suddenly moving objects , which are to be considered for an adaptive processing. Normally, GMM(Gaussian Mixture Model) is used to subtract the background by considering adaptively the various changes in the scenes, and the adaptive GMMs improving the real-time Performance were Proposed and worked. This paper, for on-line background subtraction, employed the improved adaptive GMM, which uses the small constant for learning rate a and is not able to speedily adapt the suddenly movement of objects, So, this paper Proposed and evaluated the dynamic control method of a using the adaptive selection of the number of component distributions and the global variances of pixel values.

This paper describes system to extract ISO codes in container image. A container ISO code recognition system for real-time processing is made of 5 core parts which are container ISO code detection and image acquisition, ISO code region extraction, individual character extraction, character recognition and database. Among them, the accuracy of ISO code extraction can affect significantly the accuracy of system recognition rate, and also the more exact extraction of ISO code is required in various weather and environment conditions. The proposed system produces binary of the ISO code's template lesions using an adaptive thresholding, extracts candidate regions containing distribution of ISO code, and recognizes ISO codes as detecting a final region through the verifications by using character distribution characteristics of ISO code among the extracted candidates. Experimental results reveal that ISO codes can be efficiently extracted by the proposed method.

언제 어디서든 한 손으로 미디어 콘텐츠를 소비할 수 있게 해주는 모바일 기기들이 기존 전통적 미디어 콘텐츠 단말기였던 TV나 데스크톱 PC들을 대체하게 되면서 세로형 영상 콘텐츠에 대한 수요가 나날이 높아져 가고 있다. 이와 더불어 모바일 단말기 제조사들은 서로 간의 경쟁에서 앞서기 위해 제품 차별화 전략을 수립하고 모바일 사용자들의 요구 사항을 세세하게 맞추기 위한 결과, 저마다 다른 디스플레이 해상도 규격을 가진 모바일 기기들이 생산되고 있는 상황이다. 이에 미디어 콘텐츠 제작자들은 기존 가로형 영상 콘텐츠와 더불어 새롭게 요구되는 세로형 영상 콘텐츠들을 저마다 다른 해상도 규격에 맞추는데 많은 시간과 비용을 투자하고 있다. 더 나아가 모바일 단말기 해상도 규격과 맞지 않는 영상 콘텐츠를 시청하게 될 경우, 모바일 사용자 입장에서는 디스플레이 전체 영역을 뷰포트로 잡을 수 없어 시청 만족도가 떨어질 수 있다. 이에 본 논문은 한 번의 콘텐츠 제작을 통해서도 추가 비용 없이 다양한 디스플레이 규격을 가진 단말기들에 대해 맞춤형 콘텐츠 서비스 제공을 가능하게 하여 미디어 콘텐츠 소비자들에게 충분한 시청 몰입감을 제공해줄 수 있는 단말 적응적 미디어 화면비 변환 시스템을 제안한다. 단말 적응적 미디어 화면비 변환 시스템은 딥러닝 네트워크 모델과 이미지 관련 라이브러리를 기반으로 하여 설계한 시스템이며, 사용자가 시청하기 원하는 영역을 판단하고, 사용자가 원하는 뷰포트 종횡비에 따라 해당 영역을 잘라내어 사용자가 원하는 세로형 영상 콘텐츠를 제공해준다.

In this paper, it was presented that broadly delivered scanner devices can also used in finger print recognition process and then modified existing steps of fingerprint image Processing. First, using the adaptive binary method, that effect was certified already, increased the effect of the results. And then, applying table mapping methods that looks for elements from look-up table, decreased the processing time, too. Finally, it was presented that ridge-direction characteristics extracted from these processes can used effectively In the area of fingerprint recognition system.

A Snake is an active contour for representing object contours. Traditional snake algorithms are often used to represent the contour of a single object. However, if there is more than one object in the image, the snake model must be adaptive to determine the corresponding contour of each object. Also, the previous initialized snake contours risk getting the wrong results when tracking multiple objects in successive frames due to the weak topology changes. To overcome this problem, in this paper, we present a new snake method for efficiently tracking contours of multiple objects. Our proposed algorithm can provide a straightforward approach for snake contour rapid splitting and connection, which usually cannot be gracefully handled by traditional snakes. Experimental results of various test sequence images with multiple objects have shown good performance, which proves that the proposed method is both effective and accurate.

영상이 시각적인 해석을 위해 처리될 때, 퍼지 이론이 영상 대비 강화에 많이 사용되고 있다. 적응적 퍼지 클러스터링 기법을 사용하여 자동적으로 영상의 명암도에 대한 다중 클래스를 형성하고 여기에 각각의 명암도를 속성 공간으로 전환시키는 퍼지함수를 사용하여 각 픽셀의 명암도에 부합하는 퍼지 소속도를 구한다. 영상 대비 향상을 위하여 구한 퍼지 소속도에 강화 연산자를 반복적 적용한다. 본 논문에서 제안한 방법을 히스토그램 평활화와 비교하기 위해 흑백 영상에 적용하였다.
