Recent beauty trends focus on suitability to individual features. A personal color system is a recent aesthetic concept that influences color make up and coordination. However, a personal color concept has several weaknesses. For example, type classification is qualitative and not quantitative because its measuring system is a sensory test with no industry standard of personal color system. A quantitative personal color type classification model is the purpose of this study, which can be a solution to above problems. This model is a kind of mapping system in a 3D Cartesian coordinate system which has own axes, Value, Saturation, and Yellowness. The cheek color of the individual sample is also independent variable and personal color type is a dependent variable. In order to construct the model, this study conducted a colorimetric survey on a 993 sampling frequency of Korean women in their 20s and 30s. The significance of this study is as follows. First, through this study, personal color system is established on quantitative color space; in addition, the model has flexibility and scalability because it consisted of independent axis that allows for the inclusion of any other critical variable in the form of variable axis.

The Brightness, color and texture included in a multispectral satellite data are used as important factors to analyze and to apply the image data for a proper use. One of the most significant process in the satellite data analysis using texture or color information is to extract features effectively expressing the information of original image. It was described in this paper that six features were introduced to extract useful features from the analysis of the satellite data, and also a classification network using the back-propagation neural network was constructed to evaluate the classification ability of each vector feature in SPOT imagery. The vector features were adopted from the training set selection for the interesting region, and applied to the classification process. The classification results showed that each vector feature contained many merits and demerits depending on each vector's characteristics, and each vector had compatible classification ability. Therefore, it is expected that the color and texture features are effectively used not only in the classification process of satellite imagery, but in various image classification and application fields.

In this paper, we propose a new content-based color image retrieval algorithm. The algorithm makes use of two features; colors as global features and block classification results as local features. More specifically, we obtain R, G, B color histograms and classify nonoverlapping small image blocks into texture, monotone, and various edges, then using these histograms and classification results were make a similarity measure. Experimental results show that retrieval rate of the proposed algorithm is higher than the previous method.

In this paper, we propose a new image retrieval algorithm using the block classification. More specifically, we classify nonoverlappint small image blocks into texture, monotone, and various edges. Using these classification results and the RGB color histogram, we propose a new similarity measure which considers both local and global fretures. According to our experimental results using 232 color images, the retrieval efficiencies of the proposed and the previous methods were 0.610 and 0.522, respectively, which implies that the proposed algorithm yields better performance.

The visual sensing of human hands plays an important part in many man-machine interaction/interface systems. Most existing visionbased hand detection techniques depend on the color cues of human skin. The RGB color image from a vision sensor is often transformed to another color space as a preprocessing of hand detection because the color space transformation is assumed to increase the detection accuracy. However, the actual effect of color space transformation has not been well investigated in literature. This paper discusses a comparative evaluation of the pixel classification performance of hand skin detection in four widely used color spaces; RGB, YIQ, HSV, and normalized rgb. The experimental results indicate that using the normalized red-green color values is the most reliable under different backgrounds, lighting conditions, individuals, and hand postures. The nonlinear classification of pixel colors by the use of a multilayer neural network is also proposed to improve the detection accuracy.

This paper explores the classification performance of applying to support vector machines (SVMs) for the image classification problems. In this study, we extract the color, texture and shape features of natural images and compare the performance of image classification using each individual feature and integrated features. The experiment results show that classification accuracy on the basis of color feature is better than that based on texture and shape features and the results of the integrating features also provides a better and more robust performance than individual feature. In additions, we show that the proposed classifier of SVM based approach outperforms BPNN to corporate the image classification problems.

We propose a new content-based image retrieval using a representative color histogram and directional pattern histogram that is adaptive to the classification characteristics of the image blocks. In the proposed method the color and pattern feature vectors are extracted according to the characteristics o: the block classification after dividing the image into blocks with a fixed size. First, the divided blocks are classified as either luminance or color blocks depending on the saturation of the block. Thereafter, the color feature vectors are extracted by calculating histograms of the block average luminance co-occurrence for the luminance block and the block average colors for the color blocks. In addition, block directional pattern feature vectors are extracted by calculating histograms after performing the directional gradient classification of the luminance. Experimental results show that the proposed method can outperform the conventional methods as regards the precision and the size of the feature vector dimension.

In general, the quality of agricultural products is determined by direct measurement of a weight or a magnitude, and it is determined by indirect or non-destructive method. In this paper, using color image processing, the algorithm to determine its quality and grading is presented. And the algorithm is applied to real-time citrus classifier. In the system, the size and color of orange are measured by not the sight of human but the digital image processing. The citrus classification system has the real-time maximum classification capacity of six quantify per one second. The system can be applied to controller design for the quality classification of agricultural products.

Generally, correction methods for faded images use illuminant estimation algorithms, such as the gray world assumption and white patch Retinex methods, as the phenomenon of color fading is regarded as an illuminant effect. However, this induces inaccurate faded color correction, as images fade at different rates according to the ink property, temperature, humidity, and illuminant. Therefore, this paper presents a color correction method for faded images using classification in LCybCrg color space. The input faded image is first separated according to the chromaticity based on LCybCrg opponent color space. The faded color correction is then performed based on the gray world assumption in RGB color space. Thereafter, weights calculated from CybCrg values are applied to reduce contour artifacts. As a result, the proposed method provides better color correction for faded images than previous methods.

Skin color detection is used to classify input pixels into skin and non skin area, and it requires the classifier to have a high classification rate. In previous work, most classifiers used single color model for skin color detection. However the classification rate can be increased by using more than one color model due to the various characteristics of skin color distribution in different color models, and the MLP is also invested as a more efficient classifier with less parameters than other classifiers. But the input dimension and required parameters of MLP will be increased when using two color models in skin color detection, as a result, the increased parameters will cause the huge teaming time in MLP. In this paper, we propose a MLP based classifier with less parameters in two color models. The proposed partially connected MLP based on two color models can reduce the number of weights and improve the classification rate. Because the characteristic of different color model can be learned in different partial networks. As the experimental results, we obtained 91.8% classification rate when testing various images in RGB and CbCr models.
