The most popular technique for image retrieval in a heterogeneous collection of color images is the comparison of images based on their color histogram. The color histogram describes the distribution of colors in the color space of a color image. In the most image retrieval systems, the color histogram is used to compute similarities between the query image and all the images in a database. But, small changes in the resolution, scaling, and illumination may cause important modifications of the color histogram, and so two color images may be considered to be very different from each other even though they have completely related semantics. A new method of color feature representation based on the 3-dimensional RGB color map is proposed to improve the defects of the color histogram. The proposed method is based on the three 2-dimensional projection map evaluated by projecting the RGB color space on the RG, GB, and BR surfaces. The experimental results reveal that the proposed is less sensitive to small changes in the scene and that achieve higher retrieval performances than the traditional color histogram.

An improved Mean-Shift (MS) tracker called joint CB-LBWH, which uses a combined weighted-histogram scheme of CBWH (Corrected Background-Weighted Histogram) and LBWH (likelihood-based Background-Weighted Histogram), is presented. Joint CB-LBWH is based on the notion that target representation employs both feature saliency and confidence to form a compound weighted histogram criterion. As the more prominent and confident features mean more significant for tracking the target, the tuned histogram by joint CB-LBWH can reduce the interference of background in target localization effectively. Comparative experimental results show that the proposed joint CB-LBWH scheme can significantly improve the efficiency and robustness of MS tracker when heavy occlusions and complex scenes exist.

In this paper, we propose a system for multiple people tracking using fragment based histogram matching. Appearance model is based on IHLS color histogram which can be calculated efficiently using integral histogram representation. Since histograms will loss all spatial information, we define a fragment based region representation which retain spatial information, robust against occlusion and scale issue by using disparity information. Multiple people labeling is maintained by creating online appearance representation for each people detected in scene and calculating fragment vote map. Initialization is performed automatically from background segmentation step.

In this paper, an automatic histogram specification method is proposed for image enhancement, Fuzzy membership value is adopted for the representation of image histogram. The desired PDF is automatically constructed by the fuzzy membership value. Fuzzy membership value is extracted from dark membership, bright membership function and original histogram. The effectual results are demonstrated by desired PDF which meet the image enhancement requirements. The performance and effectiveness are shown by the analysis and the resultant image in comparison with histogram equalization method.

얼굴 외형은 조명의 영향을 크게 받기 때문에 조명 변화는 얼굴 인식 시스템의 성능을 저하시키는 요인 중 하나이다. 본 논문에서는 non-alpha Weberface(non-alpha WF)와 히스토그램 평활화를 결합하여 조명 변화에 강건한 얼굴 표현 방법을 제안한다. 먼저, 입력 얼굴 영상에 대해 명암 대비 조절 파라미터를 적용하지 않은 non-alpha WF를 생성한다. 이후, non-alpha WF의 히스토그램 분포를 전역적으로 균일하게 하고 명암 대비를 향상시키기 위해 히스토그램 평활화를 수행한다. 제안하는 방법을 통해 전처리된 얼굴 영상으로부터 저차원 판별 특징을 추출하기 위해 $(2D)^2PCA$를 적용한다. Extended Yale B 및 CMU PIE 얼굴 데이터베이스에 대해 실험한 결과, 제안하는 방법으로 각각 93.31%와 97.25%의 평균 인식률을 얻었다. 또한, 제안하는 방법은 기존 WF뿐만 아니라 여러 조명 처리 방법들과 비교하여 향상된 인식 성능을 보였다.

In this paper, we present a novel method to extract face representation based on multi-resolution spatial pyramid. In our method, a face is subdivided into increasingly finer sub-regions (local regions) and represented at multiple levels of histogram representations. To cope with misaligned problem, patch-based local descriptor extraction has been also developed in a novel way. To preserve multiple levels of detail in local characteristics and also encode holistic spatial configuration, histograms from all levels of spatial pyramid are integrated by using dimensionality reduction and feature combination, leading to our spatial-pyramid face feature representation. We incorporate our proposed face features into general face recognition pipeline and achieve state-of-the-art results on challenging face recognition problems.

동영상 검색 시스템에서는 사용자가 전체 동영상 정보를 한눈에 파악하고, 필요한 경우 동영상의 원하는 지점부터 직접 재생할 수 있도록 하기 위하여 전체 동영상의 내용을 요약해 놓은 대표 프레임 리스트를 제공하며 대표 프레임 리스트를 작성하기 위하여 장면전환을 정확하게 검출할 필요성이 발생한다. 본 논문에서는 장면전환 지점을 추출하기 위하여 프레임을 일정한 블록으로 분할하고 다음 프레임의 동일 블록에서의 히스토그램 값을 비교하여 임계값을 넘지 못하면 다음 프레임을 컷으로 추출하였다.

The purpose of this study is to build and manage environment models with line segments from sonar range data on obstacles in unknown and varied environments. The proposed method therefore employs a two-stage data-transform process in order to extract environmental line segments from range data on obstacles. In the first stage, the occupancy grid extracted from the range data is accumulated to form a two-dimensional local histogram grid. In the second stage, a line histogram extracted from a local histogram grid is based on a Hough transform, and matching serves as a means of comparing each of the segments on a global line segments map against the line segments to detect the degree of similarity in the overlap, orientation, and arrangement. Each of these tests is formulated by comparing one of the parameters in the segment representation. After the tests, new line segments can be found at maximum-density cells in the line histogram, and they are composed onto the global line segment map. The proposed technique is demonstrated in experiments in an indoor environment.

We present a robust speaker identification algorithm that uses novel features based on soft bag-of-word representation and a simple Naive Bayes classifier. The bag-of-words (BoW) based histogram feature descriptor is typically constructed by summarizing and identifying representative prototypes from low-level spectral features extracted from training data. In this paper, we define a generalization of the standard BoW. In particular, we define three types of BoW that are based on crisp voting, fuzzy memberships, and possibilistic memberships. We analyze our mapping with three common classifiers: Naive Bayes classifier (NB); K-nearest neighbor classifier (KNN); and support vector machines (SVM). The proposed algorithms are evaluated using large datasets that simulate medical crises. We show that the proposed soft bag-of-words feature representation approach achieves a significant improvement when compared to the state-of-art methods.
