As the availability of an image information has been significantly increasing, necessity of system that can manage an image information is increasing. Accordingly, we proposed the content-based image retrieval(CBIR) method based on an efficient combination of a color feature and an image's shape and position information. As a color feature, a HSI color histogram is chosen which is known to measure spatial of colors well. Shape and position information are obtained using Hu invariant moments in the luminance of HSI model. For efficient similarity computation, the extracted features(Color histogram, Hu invariant moments) are combined and then measured precision. As a experiment result using DB that was supported by http://www.freefoto.com, the proposed image search engine has 93% precision and can apply successfully image retrieval applications.

This paper proposes an identification algorithm that detects detrimental digital video contents based on the color space features. In this paper, discrimination algorithm based on a 2-Dimensional Projection Maps is suggested to find targeted video images. First, 2-Dimensional Projection Maps which is extracting the color characteristics of the video images is applied to extract effectively detrimental candidate frames from the videos, and next estimates similarity between the extracted frames and normative images using the suggested algorithm. Then the detrimental candidate frames are selected from the result of similarity evaluation test which uses critical value. In our experimental test, it is suggested that the results of the comparison between the Color Histogram and the 2-Dimensional Projection Maps technique to detect detrimental candidate frames. Through the various experimental data to test the suggested method and the similarity algorithm, detecting method based on the 2-Dimensional Projection Maps show more superior performance than using the Color Histogram technique in calculation speed and identification abilities searching target video images.

In this paper, we propose an histogram weighted centroid based Siamese region proposal network for object tracking. The original Siamese region proposal network uses two identical artificial neural networks which take two different images as the inputs and decide whether the same object exist in both input images based on a similarity measure. However, as the Siamese network is pre-trained offline, it experiences many difficulties in the adaptation to various online environments. Therefore, in this paper we propose to incorporate the histogram weighted centroid feature into the Siamese network method to enhance the accuracy of the object tracking. The proposed method uses both the histogram information and the weighted centroid location of the top 10 color regions to decide which of the proposed region should become the next predicted object region.

In this paper we propose an object-based image retrieval method using spatial color model and feature points registration method for an effective color query detection. The proposed method in other to overcome disadvantages of existing color histogram methods and then this method is use the HMMD model and rough set in order to segment and detect the wanted image parts as a real time without the user's manufacturing in the database image and query image. Here, we select candidate regions in the similarity between the query image and database image. And we use SIFT registration methods in the selected region for object retrieving. The experimental results show that the proposed method is more satisfactory detection radio than conventional method.

Visibility in underwater images is usually poor because of the attenuation of light in the water that causes low contrast and color variation. In this paper, a new approach for underwater image quality improvement is presented. The proposed method aims to improve underwater image contrast, increase image details, and reduce noise by applying a new method of using contrast stretching to produce two different images with different contrasts. The proposed method integrates the modification of the image histogram in two main color models, RGB and HSV. The histograms of the color channel in the RGB color model are modified and remapped to follow the Rayleigh distribution within certain ranges. The image is then converted to the HSV color model, and the S and V components are modified within a certain limit. Qualitative and quantitative analyses indicate that the proposed method outperforms other state-of-the-art methods in terms of contrast, details, and noise reduction. The image color also shows much improvement.

An image retrieval system retrieves and offers same of similar image based on various features of image. This paper present a brand image retrieval system based on color and shape of image. We use the image for a color information by dividing into the area and extracting the area color distribution histogram. We use for the shape information by preprocessing of the boundary extraction, the centroid extraction, angular sampling etc. and calculating of the sum of the distance from the centroid to the boundary, the standard deviation, and the rate of long axis to short axis. We accomplish the retrieval through a similarity measurement by using the color and shape information which is extracted in this way.

Query-by-example (QBE) is a well-known method for image retrieval. In reality, however, an example image to be used for the query is rarely available. Therefore, it is often necessary to find a good example image to be used for the query before applying the QBE method. Query-by-layout (QBL) is our proposal for that purpose. In particular, we make use of the visual descriptors such as the edge histogram descriptor (EHD) and the color layout descriptor (CLD) in MPEG-7. Since image features of the CLD and the EHD can be localized in terms of a$4{\times}4$ sub-image, we can specify image features such as color and edge distribution on each sub-image separately for image retrieval without a query image. Experimental results show that the proposed query method can be used to retrieve a good image as a starting point for further QBE-based image retrieval.

In this paper, we proposed a content-based image retrieval algorithm using local binary patterns and HSV color histogram. Images are retrieved using image input in image retrieval system. Many researches are based on global feature distribution such as color, texture and shape. These techniques decrease the retrieval performance in images which contained background the large amount of image. To overcome this drawback, the proposed method extract background fast and emphasize the feature of object by shrinking the background. The proposed method uses HSV color histogram and Local Binary Patterns. We also extract the Local Binary Patterns in quantized Hue domain. Experimental results show that the proposed method 82% precision using Corel 1000 database.

As the availability of an image information has been significantly increasing, necessity of system that can manage an image information is increasing. Accordingly, we proposed the region-based content retrieval(CBIR) algorithm based on an efficient combination of an image segmentation, an image texture, a color feature and an image's shape and position information. As a color feature, a HSI color histogram is chosen which is known to measure spatial of colors well. We used active contour and CWT(complex wavelet transform) to perform an image segmentation and extracting an image texture. And shape and position information are obtained using Hu invariant moments in the luminance of HSI model. For efficient similarity computation, the extracted features(color histogram, Hu invariant moments, and complex wavelet transform) are combined and then precision and recall are measured. As a experimental result using DB that was supported by www.freefoto.com. the proposed image retrieval engine have 94.8% precision, 82.7% recall and can apply successfully image retrieval system.

It is an important step in video indexing and retrieval to detect shot boundaries on video data. Some approaches are proposed to detect shot changes by computing color histogram differences or the variances of DCT coefficients. However, these approaches do not consider the content or meaningful features in the image data which are useful in high level video processing. In particular, it is desirable to detect these features from compressed video data because this requires less processing overhead. In this paper, we propose a new method to detect shot boundaries from MPEG data using region flow and color information. First, we reconstruct DC images and compute region flow information and color histogram differences from HSV quantized images. Then, we compute the points at which region flow has discontinuities or color histogram differences are high. Finally, we decide those points as shot boundaries according to our proposed algorithm.
