The classification and recognition of two-dimensional trademark patterns independently of their position, orientation, size and scale by proposing two feature vectors has been discussed. The paper presents experimentation on two feature vectors showing size- invariance and scale-invariance respectively. Both feature vectors are equally invariant to rotation as well. The feature extraction is based on local as well as global statistics of the image. These feature vectors have appealing mathematical simplicity and are versatile. The results so far have shown the best performance of the developed system based on these unique sets of feature. The goal has been achieved by segmenting the image using connected-component (nearest neighbours) algorithm. Second part of this work considers the possibility of using back propagation neural networks (BPN) for the learning and matching tasks, by simply feeding the feature vectosr. The effectiveness of the proposed feature vectors is tested with various trademarks, not used in learning phase.

Iris recognition is a biometric technology which can identify a person using the iris pattern. It is important for the iris recognition system to extract the feature which is invariant to changes in iris patterns. Those changes can be occurred by the influence of lights, changes in the size of the pupil, and head tilting. This paper is appropriate for the embedded environment using local gradient histogram embedded system using iris feature extraction methods have implement. The proposed method enables high-speed feature extraction and feature comparison because it requires no additional processing to obtain the rotation invariance, and shows comparable performance to the well-known previous methods.

It is important to extract salient object image and to solve the invariance problem for image recognition. In this paper we propose a new hybrid algorithm for invariance and improved classification performance in image recognition, whose algorithm is combined by FT(Frequency-tuned Salient Region Detection) algorithm, Guided filter, Zernike moments, and a simple artificial neural network (Multi-layer Perceptron). The conventional FT algorithm is used to extract initial salient object image, the guided filtering to preserve edge details, Zernike moments to solve invariance problem, and a classification to recognize the extracted image. For guided filtering, guided filter is used, and Multi-layer Perceptron which is a simple artificial neural networks is introduced for classification. Experimental results show that this algorithm can achieve a superior performance in the process of extracting salient object image and invariant moment feature. And the results show that the algorithm can also classifies the extracted object image with improved recognition rate.

There exist geometrically invariant relations in single-view images under a specific geometrical structure. This invariance may be utilized for 3D object recognition. Two types of invariants are compared in terms of the robustness to the variation of the feature points. Deviation of the invariant relations are measured by adding random noise to the feature point location. Zhu’s invariant requires six points on adjacent planes having two sets of four coplanar points, whereas the Kaist method requires four coplanar points and two non-coplanar points. Experimental results show that the latter method has the advantage in choosing feature points while suffering from weak robustness to the noise.

Although many content-based image retrieval systems using shape feature have tried to cover rotation-, position- and scale-invariance between images, there have been problems to cover three kinds of variance at the same time. In this paper, we introduce new approach to extract shape feature from image using MBR(Minimum Bounding Rectangle). The proposed method scans image for extracting MBR information and, based on MBR information, compute contour information that consists of 16 points. The extracted information is converted to specific values by normalization and rotation. The proposed method can cover three kinds of invariance at the same time. We implemented our method and carried out experiments. We constructed R*_tree indexing structure, perform k-nearest neighbor search from query image, and demonstrate the capability and usefulness of our method.

내용 기반 영상 검색(CBIR)은 영상 내용의 특성 기술을 이용하여 영상을 저장하고 검색하는 기법이다. 좀더 정확한 영상 검색을 지원하기 위하여 영상 내용을 좀 더 효과적으로 기술할 수 있는 특성의 개발이 필요하게 되었다. 현재 주로 사용되고 있는 낮은 레벨의 색상, 질감, 형태 등의 특성은 인간의 인지와 직접적으로 연관이 되지 않으며, 여러 개의 객체가 포함되어 있는 영상은 잘 기술하지 못한다는 단점을 가진다. 이러한 단점을 보완하기 위하여 영상 검색 분야의 연구는 높은 레벨의 특성에 대한 연구로 진행되게 되었다. 높은 레벨의 특성은 좀 더 인간의 인지와 유사한 형식으로 영상을 기술하며, 대표적인 특성으로는 객체간의 위치 관계 표현 등이 있다. 하지만 객체간의 위치 관계 표현에 대한 이전의 연구들은 회전된 영상은 검색하지 못한다는 단점이 있다. 하지만 회전 불변(rotation invariant)은 정확한 영상 검색을 위한 특성 기술에 있어 중요하다. 본 논문에서는 객체간의 위치 관계를 효과적으로 표현하기 위한 높은 레벨의 특성인 8AB(8 Angular Bin)라는 새로운 기법을 제안한다. 8AB 기법은 회전 불변을 지원한다. 제안한 기법을 이용한 유사도 계산 및 검색 기법 역시 제안되었다. 또한 본 논문에서는 검색 시간을 단축하기 위한 검색 공간 축소 기법을 제안하였다. 이러한 기법들을 이용하여 실제 데이타와 합성 데이타를 사용한 실험을 행하여 제안된 기법의 유효성 및 검색 공간 축소 기법의 성능을 보였다.

Smoke detection plays an important role for the early detection of fire. In this paper, we suggest a newly developed method that generated LBPV(Local Binary Pattern Variance)s as special feature vectors from RGB contrast images can be applied to detect smoke using SVM(Support Vector Machine). The proposed method rearranges mean value of the block from each R, G, B channel and its intensity of the mean value. Additionally, it generates RGB contrast image which indicates each RGB channel’s contrast via smoke’s achromatic color. Uniform LBPV, Rotation-Invariance LBPV, Rotation-Invariance Uniform LBPV are applied to RGB Contrast images so that it could generate feature vector from the form of LBP. It helps to distinguish between smoke and non smoke area through SVM. Experimental results show that true positive detection rate is similar but false positive detection rate has been improved, although the proposed method reduced numbers of feature vector in half comparing with the existing method with LBP and LBPV.

홍채 인식은 홍채 패턴 정보를 이용하여 사람의 신원을 확인하는 생체 인식 기술이다. 이러한 홍채 인식 시스템에 있어 조명의 영향이나 동공의 크기, 머리의 기울어짐 등으로 인해 발생될 수 있는 홍채 패턴의 변화에 대해 무관한 특징을 추출하는 것은 중요한 과제이다. 본 논문에서는 국부적 방향 히스토그램을 이용해 조명의 변화나 홍채의 회전에 강인한 홍채인식 방법을 제안하였다. 제안된 방법은 특징 추출 및 특징 비교 시 회전에 대해 별도의 처리가 필요하지 않아 고속의 특징 추출 및 특징 비교가 가능하며 성능도 기존의 방법과 대등함을 실험을 통하여 확인하였다.

This paper presents a novel feature detection algorithm called depth-hybrid speeded-up robust features (DH-SURF) augmented by depth information in the speeded-up robust features (SURF) algorithm. In the keypoint detection part of classical SURF, the standard deviation of the Gaussian kernel is varied for its scale-invariance property, resulting in increased computational complexity. We propose a keypoint detection method with less variation of the standard deviation by using depth data from a red-green-blue depth (RGB-D) sensor. Our approach maintains a scale-invariance property while reducing computation time. An RGB-D simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM) system uses a feature extraction method and depth data concurrently; thus, the system is well-suited for showing the performance of the DH-SURF method. DH-SURF was implemented on a central processing unit (CPU) and a graphics processing unit (GPU), respectively, and was validated through the real-time RGB-D SLAM.

This paper addresses a feature-based robust watermarking scheme for digital images using a local invariant features of SURF (Speeded-Up Robust Feature) descriptor. In general, the feature invariance is exploited to achieve robustness in watermarking schemes, but the leakage of information about hidden watermarks from publicly known locations and sizes of features are not considered carefully in security perspective. We propose embedding and detection methods where the watermark is bound with circular areas and inserted into extracted circular feature regions. These methods enhance the robustness since the circular watermark is inserted into the selected non-overlapping feature regions instead of entire image contents. The evaluation results for repeatability measures of SURF descriptor and robustness measures present the proposed scheme can tolerate various attacks, including signal processing and geometric distortions.
