A finger-gesture game controller using the single camera is implemented in this paper, which is based on the recognition of the number of fingers and the index finger moving direction. Proposed method uses the CAMShift algorithm to trace the end-point of index finger effectively. The number of finger is recognized by using a double circle tracing method. Then, HSI color mode transformation is performed for the CAMShift algorithm, and YCbCr color model is used in the double circle tracing method. Also, all processing tasks are implemented by using the Intel OpenCV library and C++ language. In order to evaluate the performance of the proposed method, we developed a shooting game simulator and validated the proposed method. The proposed method showed the average recognition ratio of more than 90% for each of the game command-mode.

The extraction of face regions is required for Head Gesture Interface which is a natural user interface. Recently, many researchers are interested in using color information to detect face regions in image sequences. Two most widely used color models, HSI color model and YIQ color model, were selected for this study. Actually H-component of HSI and I-component of YIQ are used in this research. Given the difference in the color component, this study was aimed to compare the performance of face region detection between the two models. First, we search the optimum range of facial color for each color component, examining the detection accuracy of facial color regions for variant threshold range about facial color. And then, we compare the accuracy of the face box for both color models by using optimal facial color and motion information. As a result, a range of $0^{\circ}{\sim}14^{\circ}$ in the H-component and a range of $-22^{\circ}{\sim}-2^{\circ}$ in the I-component appeared to be the most optimum range for extracting face regions. When the optimal facial color range is used, I-component is better than H-component by about 10% in accuracy to extract face regions. While optimal facial color and motion information are both used, I-component is also better by about 3% in accuracy to extract face regions.

본 논문은 조명의 변화가 심한 연속영상에서 동적객체를 안정적으로 추출하기 위하여 색상강도 및 기울기 기반 배경모델을 구축하고 이를 이용하여 입력영상으로부터 동적 객체의 윤곽선을 안정적으로 추출하는 기법을 제시한다. 제안기법에서는 우선, 동적객체가 포함되지 않은 배경 연속영상의 HSI 컬러공간에서 색상(Hue) 강도와 색상 기울기에 대한 배경모델을 생성한다. 실시간으로 입력되는 동적 객체를 포함한 연속영상에 대하여 각 화소에 대한 색상(Hue)성분을 추출하고 이웃 화소와의 색상성분에 대한 기울기 크기를 계산한다. 이를 기구축된 배경모델과 비교하여 그 차분값이 일정 임계값을 초과하는 경우 동적객체의 윤곽선으로 판별한다. 제안 기법은 극심한 조명 변화에 강건하게 동적 객체의 윤곽정보를 실시간 추출하였다. 본 논문에서는 기존 RGB 기반 배경 모델링 기법을 적용한 경우와의 비교 실험을 통하여 제안 기법의 안정성을 보였다.

In this paper, we propose the method the vehicle color recognizing in the image including a vehicle. In an image, the color feature vector of a vehicle is extracted and by using the backpropagation learning algorithm, that is the multi-layer perceptron, the recognized vehicle color. By using the RGB and HSI color model the feature vector used as the input of the backpropagation learning algorithm is the feature of the color used as the input of the neural network. The color of a vehicle recognizes as the white, the silver color, the black, the red, the yellow, the blue, and the green among the color of the vehicle most very much found out as 7 colors. By using the image including a vehicle for the performance evaluation of the method proposing, the color recognition performance was experimented.

Digital maps are made by experts who digitize the data from aerial image and field survey. And the digital maps are updated every 2 years in National Geographic Information Institute. Conventional Digitizing methods take a lot of time and cost. And geographic information needs to be modified and updated appropriately as geographical features are changing rapidly. Therefore in this paper, we modify the digital map updates the road information for rapid high-resolution aerial orthophoto taken at different times were performed HSI color conversion. Road area of the cassification was performed the region growing methods. In addition, changes in the target area for analysis by applying the CVA technique to compare the changed road area by analyzing the accuracy of the proposed extraction.

In this paper we propose the block based image segmentation method using the cyclic properties of hue components in HSI color model. In proposed method we use center point instead of hue mean values as the hue representatives for regions in image segmentation considering hue cyclic properties and we also use directed distance for the hue difference among regions. Furthermore we devise the simple and effective method to get critical values through control parameter to reduce the complexity in the calculation of those in the conventional method. From the experimental results we found that the segmented regions in the proposed method is more natural than those in the conventional method especially in texture and red tone regions. In the simulation results the proposed method is better than the conventional methods in the in the evaluation of the human segmentation dataset presented Berkely Segmentation Database.

We propose a new tongue examination model according to the taste division of tongue. The proposed sytem consists of image acquisition, region segmentation, color distribution analysis and abnormality decision of tongue. Tongue DB which is classified into abnormality is constructed with tongue images captured from oriental medicine hospital inpatients. We divided 4 basic taste(bitter, sweet, salty and sour) regions and performed color distribution analysis targeting each region under HSI(Hue Saturation Intensity) color model. To minimize the influence of illumination, the histograms of H and S components only except I are utilized. The abnormality of taste regions each by comparing the proposed diagnosis model with diagnosis results by a doctor of oriental medicine. We confirmed the 87.5% of classification results of abnormality by proposed algorithm is coincide with the doctor's results.

This paper proposes the method to detect contours of a face, eyes and a mouth in a color image for making an avatar automatically. First, we use the HSI color model to exclude the effect of various light condition, and we find skin regions in an input image by using the skin color is defined on HS-plane. And then, we use deformable templates and Genetic Algorithm(GA) to detect contours of a face, eyes and a mouth. Deformable templates consist of B-spline curves and control point vectors. Those can represent various shape of a face, eyes and a mouth. And GA is very useful search procedure based on the mechanics of natural selection and natural genetics. Second, an avatar is created automatically by using contours and Fuzzy C-means clustering(FCM). FCM is used to reduce the number of face color As a result, we could create avatars like handmade caricatures which can represent the user's identity, differing from ones generated by the existing methods.
