Color image is formed of combination of three color channels. Therefore its architecture is very complicated and it requires complicated image Processing for effective image segmentation. In this paper. we propose architecture of universalized Color Morphological Pyramids(CMP) which is able to give effective image segmentation. Image Pyramid architecture is a successive Image sequence whose area ratio $2^{\int}({\int}=1,2,....,N)$ after filtering and subsampling of input image. In this technique, noise removed by sequential filtering and resolution is degraded by downsampling using CMP in various color spaces. After that, new level images are constructed that apply formula using distance of neighbor vectors in close level images and segments its image. The feasibility of proposed method is examined by comparing with the results obtained from the existing method.

컬러 이미지는 Cray-Scale 이미지와는 달리 3가지 채널의 조합으로 이루어지고 방대한 정보량 때문에 효과적인 에지 검출이 어렵다. 본 논문에서는 범용성 있는 Color Morphological Pyramids(CMP)구조를 제안하고, 그를 이용한 에지 검출을 보인다. 이미지 피라미드 구조는 최초 이미지의 반복적인 필터링과 샘플링에 의해 면적비가 2$_{-ι}$(ι=1,2, …, N)이 되는 순차적 이미지 계열이다. CMP는 RCB, HSI, CMY 등의 컬러 공간에서 컬러 모폴로지를 이용하여 연속적인 필터링 처리로 불필요한 크기의 물체 및 잡음을 제거하고, 부샘플링과정으로 해상도를 낮춰주는 방식이다. 생성된 CMP에서 인접 레벨간을 이웃한 픽셀 벡터간의 상대거리를 이용한 연결식을 사용하여 새 레벨의 이미지를 생성하며, 이를 에지 검출한다. 실험을 통하여 본 방법의 유효성을 검증한다.다.

Edge detection is the most important process that belongs to the first step in image recognition or vision system and can determine the efficiency valuation. The edge detection with color images is very difficult. because color images have lots of information that contain not only general information representing shape, brightness and so on but also that representing colors. In this paper, we propose architecture of universalized Color Morphological Pyramids(CMP) which is able to give effective edge detection. Image pyramid architecture is a successive image sequence whose area ratio 2$\^$-1/(ι= 1, 2, . . . ,N) after filtering and subsampling of input image. In this technique, noise removed by sequential filtering and resolution is degraded by downsampling using CMP in various color spaces. After that, new level images are constructed that apply formula using distance of neighbor vectors in close level images and detection its image.
