Colonoscopy is currently the best technique available for the detection of colon cancer or colorectal polyps or other precursor lesions. Computer aided detection (CAD) is based on very complex pattern recognition. Local binary patterns (LBPs) are strong illumination invariant texture primitives. Histograms of binary patterns computed across regions are used to describe textures. Every pixel is contrasted relative to gray levels of neighbourhood pixels. In this study, colorectal polyp detection was performed with colonoscopy video frames, with classification via J48 and Fuzzy. Features such as color, discrete cosine transform (DCT) and LBP were used in confirming the superiority of the proposed method in colorectal polyp detection. The performance was better than with other current methods.

As multimedia database and digital image libraries are enlarged, CBIR(Content Based Image Retrieval) has been getting importance for the efficient search. Generally, CBIR uses primitive features such as color, shape, texture and so on. Among various methods of CBIR, Gabor wavelet has good image retrieval performance with texture features but it has a disadvantage which does not perform well for a rotated image because of its direction oriented filter. In this paper, we propose a new method to solve this problem by modifying Gabor filter for all directions. And then we will compare the searching performance of the proposed method with those of conventional image retrieval methods through experiments with trademarks.

The paper presents an algorithm which uses code vectors to represent comer geometry information for searching the similar images from a database. The comers have been extracted by finding the intersections of the detected lines found using Hough transform. Taking the comer as the center coordinate, the angles of the intersecting lines are determined and are represented using code vectors. A code book has been used to code each comer geometry information and indexes to the code book are generated. For similarity measurement, the histogram of the code book indexes is used. This result in a significant small size feature matrix compared to the algorithms using color features. Experimental results show that use of code vectors is computationally efficient in similarity measurement and the comers being noise invariant produce good results in noisy environments.

In this paper. a robust gesture recognition system is designed and implemented to explore the communication methods between human and computer. Hand gestures in the proposed approach are used to communicate with a computer for actions of a high degree of freedom. The user does not need to wear any cumbersome devices like cyber-gloves. No assumption is made on whether the user is wearing any ornaments and whether the user is using the left or right hand gestures. Image segmentation based upon the skin-color and a shape analysis based upon the invariant moments are combined. The features are extracted and used for input vectors to a radial basis function networks(RBFN). Our "Puppy" robot is employed as a testbed. Preliminary results on a set of gestures show recognition rates of about 87% on the a real-time implementation.

인간의 손동작 인식은 오랫동안 언어로서의 역할을 해왔던 통신수단의 한 방법이다. 현대의 사회가 정보화 사회로 진행됨에 따라 보다 빠르고 정확한 의사소통 및 정보의 전달을 필요로 하는 가운데 사람과 컴퓨터간의 상호 연결 혹은 사람의 의사 표현에 있어 기존의 장치들이 가지는 단점을 보안하며 이 부분에 사람의 두 손으로 표현되는 자유로운 몸짓을 이용하려는 연구가 최근에 많이 진행되고 있는 추세이다. 본 논문에선 2차원 입력 영상으로부터 동적인 손동작의 사용 없이 손의 특징을 이용한 새로운 인식 알고리즘을 제안하고, 보다 높은 인식률과 실 시간적 처리를 위해 Radial Basis Function Network 및 부가적인 특징점을 통한 손동작의 인식을 구현하였다. 또한 인식된 손동작의 의미를 바탕으로 인식률 및 손동작 표현의 의미성에 대한 정확도를 판별하기 위해 로봇의 제어에 적용한 실험을 수행하였다.

In recent years there have been increasing interests in real-time object tracking with image information. Since image information is affected by illumination, this paper presents the real-time object tracking method based on neural networks which have robust characteristics under various illuminations. This paper proposes three steps to track the object and the fast tracking method. In the first step the object color is extracted using neural networks. In the second step we detect the object feature information based on invariant moment. Finally the object is tracked through a shape recognition using neural networks. To achieve the fast tracking performance, this paper first has a global search of entire image and tracks the object through local search when the object is recognized.

최근 인터넷과 멀티미디어 기술이 발달함에 따라 이미지 데이터의 양이 급속히 증가하고 있다. 증가하는 이미지를 효과적으로 관리하고 검색하기 위해 내용기반 이미지 검색에 대한 연구가 활발히 진행되고 있다. 대부분의 내용 기반 이미지 검색 시스템은 색상, 모양, 질감 특징을 이용한 유사도-기반검색에 초점을 맞추고 있다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 이미지에 나타나는 주요 색상과 색상의 공간적 특성을 포함하는 픽셀샘플링, 그리고 이미지의 외형적 변경에 강인함을 갖는 불변 모멘트 값을 이용한 내용기반 이미지 검색 시스템을 제안한다. 첫 번째 유사성 검사 단계에서는 이미지의 영역별로 가중치를 부여하여 추출한 대표색상을 사용하여, 유사하지 않은 이미지를 제거하여 검색대상의 수를 줄이며, 두 번째 유사성 검사 단계에서는 첫 번째 단계에서 선별된 후보 이미지에 색상의 공간적 정보를 포함한 픽셀샘플링을 이용하여 색상의 공간적인 위치까지 유사한 이미지만을 선별한다. 두 번째 유사성 검사단계에서 이미지가 외형적으로 변형된 유사이미지의 검출이 어려운 점을 보완하는 방법으로 이미지의 불변 모멘트를 이용하여 검색의 정확성을 높인다. 제안한 이미지 검색 방법은 10000개의 다양한 이미지로 구성된 데이터베이스에서 검색을 효율성을 실험하였다.

효과적이고 정확한 물체인식은 컴퓨터 비전 연구 분야에 있어 매우 중요한 부분이다. 조명, 카메라 회전등의 외부환경의 변화에 의해 서로 다르게 획득되는 영상에 대해서도 강인하도록 동일한 특징점을 추출하고 매칭할 수 있는 방법으로 SIFT(Scale Invariant Feature Transform) 매칭이 많이 사용되어 왔다. 그러나 기존의 SIFT기술자는 특징점 주변의 그레이만을 이용하여 기술하기 때문에 물체의 그레이정보가 유사하며 색상이 다르더라도 그레이정보만 유사할 경우에도 매칭되는 단점이 있다. 이러한 문제점을 개선하기 위하여 본 연구에서는 기본영역가 확장영역의 색상 히스토그램에 기반 한 기술자를 추가하여 오매칭에 대한 인식 성능을 향상 시키는 방법을 제안한다.

Today, multimedia information is used on the internet and various social areas by rapid development of computer and communication technology. Therefor, the usage is growing dramatically. Multimedia information analysis system is basically based on text. So, there are many difficult problems like expressing ambiguity of multimedia information, excessive burden of works in appending notes and a lack of objectivity. In this study, we suggest a method which uses color and shape information of multimedia image partitions efficiently analyze a large amount of multimedia information. Partitions use field growth and union method. To extract color information, we use distinctive information which matches with a representative color from converting process from RGB(Red Green Blue) to HSI(Hue Saturation Intensity). Also, we use IMI(Improved Moment Invariants) which target to only outline pixels of an object and execute computing as shape information.

As a result of remarkable developments in computer technology, the image retrieval system that can efficiently retrieve image data becomes a core technology of information-oriented society. In this paper, we implemented the Hierarchical Image Retrieval System for content-based image data retrieval. At the first level, to get color information, with improving the indexing method using color distribution characteristic suggested by Striker et al., i.e. the indexing method considering local color distribution characteristics, the system roughly classifies images through the improved method. At the second level, the system finally retrieves the most similar image from the image queried by the user using the shape information about the image groups classified at the first level. To extract the shape information, we use the Improved Moment Invariants(IMI) that manipulates only the pixels on the edges of objects in order to overcome two main problems of the existing Moment Invariant methods large amount of processing and rotation sensitiveness which can frequently be seen in the Directive Histogram Intersection technique suggested by Jain et al. Experiments have been conducted on 300 automobile images And we could obtain the more improved results through the comparative test with other methods.
