본 논문은 영상의 주요한 색채들을 기반으로 하는 histogram-based 영상 검색을 위한 변형된 히스토그램 방법(SHM)을 제안한다. 히스토그램을 기초로 하는 방법은 이행이나 로테이션과 같은 이미지의 기하학적 변화에 영향을 받지 않기 때문에 컬러 영상 검색에 있어 매우 적합하다. 동일하고 비주얼한 정보를 지녔지만 컬러 강도가 변화된 영상의 경우, 전통적인 히스토그램 인터섹션(HIM)을 이용할 경우에는 현저히 성능이 떨어질 수도 있다. 이 문제를 해결하기 위해 변형된 히스토그램 방법(SHM)을 사용하였다. 실험 결과 변형된 히스토그램 방법(SHM)은 기존의 히스토그램 방식에 비해 더 높은 영상 검색 성능을 보였다.

From the 90's, the image information retrieval methods have been on progress. As good examples of the methods, Conventional histogram method and merged-color histogram method were introduced. They could get good result in image retrieval. However, Conventional histogram method has disadvantages if the histogram is shifted as a result of intensity change. Merged-color histogram, also, causes more process so, it needs more time to retrieve images. In this paper, we propose an improved new method using Adaptive Color Histogram Bin Matching(AHB) in image retrieval. The proposed method has been tested and verified through a number of simulations using hundreds of images in a database. The simulation results have Quickly yielded the highly accurate candidate images in comparison to other retrieval methods. We show that AHB's can give superior results to color histograms for image retrieval.

In this paper, light-emitting-diode (LED) backlight driving circuits and dimming method for medium-sized and large liquid crystal displays (LCDs) are proposed. The double loop control method, the intelligent-phase-shifted PWM dimming method, the fast-switching current regulator, and the current matching techniques are proposed to improve not only the current regulation characteristics and the power efficiency but also the current matching characteristics and the transient response of the LED current. The brightness of the backlight using the proposed local dimming method was determined from the histogram of the local block to reduce the power consumption of the backlight without image distortion. The measured maximum power efficiency of the LED backlight driving circuit for medium-sized LCDs was 90%, and the simulation results showed an 88% maximum power efficiency of the LED backlight driving circuit for large LCDs. The maximum backlight power-saving ratio of the proposed dimming method was 41.7% in the simulation with a high-contrast image. The experiment and simulation results showed that the performance of LEDs as LCD backlight units (BLUs) improved with the proposed circuits and method.
