For face recognition system, a face detector which can find exact face region from complex image is needed. Many face detection algorithms have been developed under the assumption that background of the source image is quite simple . this means that face region occupy more than a quarter of the area of the source image or the background is one-colored. Color-based face detection is fast but can't be applicable to the images of which the background color is similar to face color. And the algorithm using neural network needs so many non-face data for training and doesn't guarantee general performance. In this paper, A multi-scale, multi-face detection algorithm using PCA is suggested. This algorithm can find most multi-scaled faces contained in static images with small number of training data in reasonable time.

Computational speed plays key role in background subtraction and shadow detection, because those are only preprocessing steps of a moving object segmentation, tracking and activity recognition. A color intensity variation based approach fastly detect a moving object and extract shadow in a image sequences. The moving object is subtracted from background using meanmax, meanmin thresholds and shadow is detected by decrease limit and correspondence thresholds. The proposed approach relies on the ability to represent shadow cast impact by offline experiment dataset on sub grouped RGB color space.

In this paper, we propose a new tracking algorithm which uses weighted sum of color bin's centroids to find the main centroid of the target. The weights are determined by the proportion of colors of the target and by the colors of background. That is, A color which has high occupation in forming the target is highly weighted and a color which has low occupation is lowly weighted. Moreover, the proposed algorithm prevent track failure by lowering the weight of the colors which forms the background. Therefore, the proposed algorithm performs stable tracking inspite of occlusion and existence of confusing backgrounds.

In video-based recognition systems, stationary cameras are used to monitor an area of interest. These systems focus on a segmentation of the foreground in the video stream and the recognition of the events occurring in that area. The usual approach to discriminating the foreground from the video sequence is background subtraction. This paper presents a novel background subtraction method based on a probabilistic approach. We represent the posterior probability of the foreground based on the current image and all past images and derive an updated method. Furthermore, we present an efficient fusion method for the color and edge information in order to overcome the difficulties of existing background subtraction methods that use only color information. The suggested method is applied to synthetic data and real video streams, and its robust performance is demonstrated through experimentation.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of dot pattern size(0.8, 1.8, 2.5, 5, 8), color combination (BG/R, Y/B), value tone(lt/dk, p/g), area-ratio on image information. Sets of stimulus and response scales(7 point semantic) were used as experimental materials. The stimuli were 20 color pictures manipulated with the combination of dot pattern size, color combination, value tone and area-ratio using computer simulation. The subjects were 240 female undergraduates living in Gyeongsangnam-do. Image factor of the stimulus was composed of 4 different components, visibility, chastity.feminity, cuteness and attractiveness. In the visibility, color combination, value tone, area-ratio, dot pattern size showed independent effect. In the chastity feminity, color combination, value tone, showed independent effect. In the cuteness, value tone, area-ratio, dot pattern size showed independent effect. Significant interaction effects of color and area-ratio combination on visibility and cuteness were found. Interaction efforts of color and value tone combination, value tone and area-ratio was significant on cuteness. For visibility image, BG/R combination of color and yellow background/blue dots were effective. For cuteness image, pale/grayish tone and background/dots area-ratio were effective.

This paper proposes an automatic object segmentation and background composition method for video communication over consumer mobile phones. The object regions were extracted based on the motion and color variance of the first two frames. To combine the motion and variance information, the Euclidean distance between the motion boundary pixel and the neighboring color variance edge pixels was calculated, and the nearest edge pixel was labeled to the object boundary. The labeling results were refined using the morphology for a more accurate and natural-looking boundary. The grow-cut segmentation algorithm begins in the expanded label map, where the inner and outer boundary belongs to the foreground and background, respectively. The segmented object region and a new background image stored a priori in the mobile phone was then composed. In the background composition process, the background motion was measured using the optical-flow, and the final result was synthesized by accurately locating the object region according to the motion information. This study can be considered an extended, improved version of the existing background composition algorithm by considering motion information in a video. The proposed segmentation algorithm reduces the computational complexity significantly by choosing the minimum resolution at each segmentation step. The experimental results showed that the proposed algorithm can generate a fast, accurate and natural-looking background composition.

배경추출은 비디오 감시 시스템에서 움직이는 물체를 찾는데 중요한 기술이다. 본 논문에서는 벡터 정렬을 이용한 새로운 온라인 컬러 배경 추출 방법을 제안한다. 제안된 방법에서 배경은 물체보다 발생빈도가 높다는 사실을 이용하여, 연속된 프레임의 컬러화소 값들의 벡터 미디언을 그 화소에서의 배경이라 간주한다. 본 알고리즘에서 현재 프레임의 물체는 얻어진 배경과의 거리가 문턱치보다 큰 화소들의 집합으로 구성된다. 알고리즘의 성능을 평가하기 위하여 온라인 가우시안 혼합 모델(Gaussian Mixture Model)을 이용한 다중 배경추출 방법과 비교하였으며, 비교결과 유사 또는 우월한 실험 결과를 확인하였다.

In this study, we examined the effects of background and underline on the readability of displayed text. The background was placed on every other line and the underline was done with every line of the text. The effect of adding color to the background and underline was also of primary concern. Twenty subjects were tested on their reading efficiency (i.e. time-to-read and comprehension) and subjective preference of different text format presented on a LCD. Result showed that for the background condition, the background with green format significantly decreased the time-to-read as compared to the format without any background. The results of ANOVA on comprehension and subjective preference were also consistent with this finding. For the underline condition, otherwise, the underline with yellow format yielded higher speed and better comprehension. The results imply that adding background or underlines with appropriate colors can be an additional and useful way of improving text readability.

텍스트 모드에서 흑백 데이터를 컬러 데이터로 변환시킬 때 하드웨어적인 방법을 이용하여 실시간적으로 변환할 수 있는 회로를 설계 및 구현하였다. Color Palette ROM에 화면을 구성하는 모든 페이지에 해당되는 색상 정보를 저장한다. 이 색상 정보는 8비트 단위로 출력이 되며 하위 4비트는 전경색, 상위 4비트는 배경색을 가지도록 지정한다. Address Reduction ROM을 두어 중복되는 어드레스를 배제하여 Color Palette ROM의 용량을 1/16로 감소시킬 수 있도록 하였으며, 다수 개의 D-FF을 두어 어드레스와 데이터 그리고 페이지 정보를 임시로 저장한 후에, Counter를 통해 실시간에 8회의 처리과정을 거친 후 Multiplex에서 전경색과 배경색을 구분하여 컬러 비디오 컨트롤러에 색상 정보를 보내도록 설계하였다. 기존의 흑백 LCD 디스플레이를 사용하고 있는 각종 제어장치 설비를 컬러로 변환함에 있어서 용이한 실시간 인터페이스로 활용될 것이다.

본 논문에서는 LBP와 HSV 컬러 히스토그램을 이용한 내용 기반 영상 검색 방법을 제안한다. 영상 검색 시스템에서는 텍스트가 아닌 사용자가 원하는 특정한 객체를 포함하는 영상을 질의로 입력하여 원하는 영상을 검색한다. 대부분의 연구에서는 색상, 질감, 모양 등과 같은 전역 특징 값을 이용하여 영상을 검색한다. 이러한 전역 특징 값들은 하늘이나 바닥과 같은 배경이 큰 부분을 차지하는 영상에서는 특징 값의 대부분이 배경에서 추출되어 영상 검색의 성능 저하를 초래한다. 이러한 문제를 해결하기 위해, 컬러를 이용하여 영상의 배경을 고속으로 검출하고 배경의 영향을 줄여 관심 객체의 특징을 강조한다. 제안된 방법에서는 특징 값으로 HSV 컬러 히스토그램과 Local Binary Patterns을 사용한다. 또한, 색의 경계 부분의 패턴을 추출하기 위해 양자화 된 Hue 채널에서 Local Binary Patterns을 추출한다. 제안된 알고리즘의 성능 검증하기 위해, Corel 1000 database를 이용하여 실험한 결과 82% 이상의 높은 검색 정확도를 나타내었다.
