영상 정보의 이용이 증가함에 따라 영상을 효율적으로 관리할 수 있는 시스템의 필요성이 증가하고 있다. 이에 따라, 본 논문에서는 영상 분할 알고리즘, 색상 특성, 질감, 그리고 영상의 형태와 위치 정보의 효율적인 결합에 근거한 영역기반 내용 검색 알고리즘을 제안한다. 색상 특징으로는 색상의 공간적인 상관관계를 잘 나타내는 HSI 색상 히스토그램을 선택하였고, 영상의 분할과 질감특성은 각각 Active control와 CWT(Complex wavelet transform)를 사용하였다. 그리고 형태와 위치 특징들은 HSI의 휘도 성분에서 불변 모멘트를 이용하여 추출하였다. 효율적인 유사도 측정을 위해 추출된 특징(색상 히스토그램, Hu 불변 모멘트, CWT)을 결합하여 정확도와 재현율을 측정하였다. www. freefoto.com에서 제공하는 DB를 사용하여 실험한 결과, 제안된 검색엔진은 94.8%의 정확도와 82.7%의 재현율을 가지며 성공적으로 영상 검색 시스템에 응용할 수 있다.

Nowadays, the saliency region detection has become a popular research topic because of its uses for many applications like object recognition and object segmentation. Some of recent methods apply color distinctiveness based on an analysis of statistics of color image derivatives in order to boosting color saliency can produce the good saliency maps. However, if the salient regions comprise more than half the pixels of the image or the background is complex, it may cause bad results. In this paper, we introduce the method to handle these problems by using maximum symmetric surround. The results show that our method outperforms the previous algorithms. We also show the segmentation results by using Otsu's method.

Prediction of rice yield during a growing season would be very helpful to magnify rice yield as it also allows better farm practices to maximize yield with greater profit and lesser costs. UAV imagery based automatic detection of rice can be a relevant solution for early prediction of yield. So, we propose an image processing technique to predict rice yield using low altitude UAV images. We proposed $L^*a^*b^*$ color space based image segmentation algorithm. All images were captured using UAV mounted RGB camera. The proposed algorithm was developed to find out rice grain area from the image background. We took RGB image and applied filter to remove noise and converted RGB image to $L^*a^*b^*$ color space. All color information contain in both $a^*$ and $b^*$ layers and by using k-mean clustering classification of these colors were executed. Variation between two colors can be measured and labelling of pixels was completed by cluster index. Image was finally segmented using color. The proposed method showed that rice grain could be segmented and we can recognize rice grains from the UAV images. We can analyze grain areas and by estimating area and volume we could predict rice yield.

본 논문에서는 교통 신호등 영역 검출을 포함한 교통 신호등 외곽 부분과 신호등 색을 자동으로 판별하여 사용자에게 알려주는 교통 신호등 자동 판별 시스템 구현을 제안하였다. 본 논문은 교통 신호등색을 정확하게 검출하기 위하여 교통 신호등색에 해당하는 파장 범위를 설정하고, 색상 성분을 분할하였다. 색상 성분을 통해 교통 신호등색(빨강 주황 녹색)을 검출하며 배경부분은 그레이 영상으로 변환한다. 다음으로 웨이브렛 변환 알고리즘을 사용하여 다양한 환경에서 신호등 영역을 검출할 수 있는 알고리즘을 제안하였다. 또한, 교통 신호등 인식 부분은 CBIR(Content-Based Image Retrieval)기반에서 캐니 에지 연산자와 허도로프 매칭 알고리즘의 특성을 적용한 인식 알고리즘을 제안하였다. 제안된 알고리즘은 교통 신호등이 첨가되어 있는 조명, 배경 등이 다양한 영상을 대상으로 실험하며, 기존 알고리즘과 비교하여 제안 알고리즘의 성능이 향상되었음을 확인하였다.

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.

잡음이 심한 배경을 가진 영상 내부의 영역 분할 처리 과정은 해결하기 매우 어려운 문제로 인식되어 왔다. 그에 따라 이 문제를 해결하기 위한 기초적 방법론에 관한 연구 및 주어진 문제에 따라 실제적 적용을 위한 다양한 노력이 있어왔다. 본 논문에서는 영상 분할을 위한 새로운 접근법을 제시하는 것을 목적으로 하였다. 새로운 방법론으로서 기존의 관심 객체 분할의 반대인 배경 영역 분할이라는 새로운 관점을 연구의 중심으로 하였다. 기반 이론으로는 승자 독식 원리의 자기 학습 이론 알고리즘에서 특징 선택을 위한 자기 조직화를 분석하고 이를 문제 해결에 적용하였다. 실제적 영상 데이터를 통한 실험을 통해 배경 영역 분할을 적용한 영상 분할은 효과적으로 수행될 수 있음을 실험 결과로 제시해 보였다.

Skin-color information is not sufficient for palmprint segmentation in complex scenes, including mobile environments. Traditional active shape model (ASM) combines gray information and shape information, but its performance is not good in complex scenes. An improved ASM method is developed for palmprint segmentation, in which Perux method normalizes the shape of the palm. Then the shape model of the palm is calculated with principal component analysis. Finally, the color likelihood degree is used to replace the gray information for target fitting. The improved ASM method reduces the complexity, while improves the accuracy and robustness.

In this study, we propose a new Fire Flame Region Extraction using Block Homogeneity Segmentation method of the Fire Image with irregular texture and various colors. It is generally assumed that fire flame extraction plays a very important role. The Color Image with fire flame is divided into blocks and edge strength for each block is computed by using modified color histogram intersection method that has been developed to differentiate object boundaries from irregular texture boundaries effectively. The block homogeneity is designed to have the higher value in the center of region with the homeogenous colors or texture while to have lower value near region boundaries. The image represented by the block homogeneity is gray scale image and watershed transformation technique is used to generate closed boundary for each region. As the watershed transform generally results in over-segmentation, region merging based on common boundary strength is followed. The proposed method can be applied quickly and effectively to the initial response of fire.

This paper proposes a building recognition algorithm using watershed image segmentation algorithm and integrated region matching (IRM). To recognize a building, a preprocessing algorithm which is using Gaussian filter to remove noise and using canny edge extraction algorithm to extract edges is applied to input building image. First, images are segmented by watershed algorithm. Next, a region adjacency graph (RAG) based on the information of segmented regions is created. And then similar and small regions are merged. Second, a color distribution feature of each region is extracted. Finally, similar building images are obtained and ranked. The building recognition algorithm was evaluated by experiment. It is verified that the result from the proposed method is superior to color histogram matching based results.

In this paper we present a color image segmentation algorithm based on statistical models. A novel deterministic annealing Expectation Maximization(EM) formula is derived to estimate the parameters of the Gaussian Mixture Model(GMM) which represents the multi-colored objects statistically. The experimental results show that the proposed deterministic annealing EM is a global optimal solution for the ML parameter estimation and the image field is segmented efficiently by using the parameter estimates.
