본 논문에서는 특이 칼라 분포에 대한 정보를 활용함으로써 어떠한 사전 지식없이 칼라 영상으로부터 중심 객체를 추출하는 방법에 대해 제안한다. 중심 객체는 영상 중심 부근에 위치하면서 특이 칼라 분포를 갖는 영역들의 집합으로 정의한다. 특이 칼라는 영상 경계 주변에 비해 영상의 중심 위치에서 보다 높은 밀도로 존재하는 칼라로 정의한다. 중심 객체 추출을 위해 우선 특이 칼라 정보를 사용하여 영상 분할된 영역 중에서 객체의 특징을 대표하는 영역들의 집합을 핵심객체영역을 선택한다. 핵심객체영역에 인접하며 이와 높은 칼라 유사도를 갖고 또한 배경이 아닌 영역들을 반복적으로 핵심객체영역에 병합하여 핵심객체영역을 확장함으로써 생성된 최종 병합 결과를 중심 객체로 추출한다. 따라서 중심 객체는 상이한 칼라 특징을 갖는 영역으로 구성될 수 있으며 상호 연결되어 있을 경우에는 두개 이상의 객체가 중심 객체에 포함될 수 있다. 제안된 방법의 타당성 및 중요 칼라의 유용성은 다양한 실험 영상을 통해 확인하였다. 본 논문에서 제안된 방법으로 추출된 중심 객체는 영상 검색 응용 분야에 유용하게 사용될 수 있을 것으로 기대한다.

In this study, we propose a novel salient object detection strategy based on regional contrast and relative spatial compactness. Our algorithm consists of four basic steps. First, we learn color names offline using the probabilistic latent semantic analysis (PLSA) model to find the mapping between basic color names and pixel values. The color names can be used for image segmentation and region description. Second, image pixels are assigned to special color names according to their values, forming different color clusters. The saliency measure for every cluster is evaluated by its spatial compactness relative to other clusters rather than by the intra variance of the cluster alone. Third, every cluster is divided into local regions that are described with color name descriptors. The regional contrast is evaluated by computing the color distance between different regions in the entire image. Last, the final saliency map is constructed by incorporating the color cluster's spatial compactness measure and the corresponding regional contrast. Experiments show that our algorithm outperforms several existing salient object detection methods with higher precision and better recall rates when evaluated using public datasets.

This paper proposes an efficient method of object identification and localization for image recognition. The new proposed algorithm utilizes correlogram back-projection in the YCbCr chromaticity components to handle the problem of sub-region querying. Utilizing similar spatial color information enables users to detect and locate primary location and candidate regions accurately, without the need for additional information about the number of objects. Comparing this proposed algorithm to existing methods, experimental results show that improvement of 21% was observed. These results reveal that color correlogram is markedly more effective than color histogram for this task. Main contribution of this paper is that a different way of treating color spaces and a histogram measure, which involves information on spatial color, are applied in object localization. This approach opens up new opportunities for object detection for the use in the area of interactive image and 2-D based augmented reality.

Object-based image retrieval method is addressed. A new image segmentation algorithm and image comparing method between segmented objects are proposed. For image segmentation, color and texture features are extracted from each pixel in the image. These features we used as inputs into VQ (Vector Quantization) clustering method, which yields homogeneous objects in terns of color and texture. In this procedure, colors are quantized into a few dominant colors for simple representation and efficient retrieval. In retrieval case, two comparing schemes are proposed. Comparing between one query object and multi objects of a database image and comparing between multi query objects and multi objects of a database image are proposed. For fast retrieval, dominant object colors are key-indexed into database.

We propose an active color model based method for tracking motions of multiple human using a networked multiple-camera system in IoT space as a human-robot coexistent system. An IoT space is a space where many intelligent devices, such as computers and sensors(color CCD cameras for example), are distributed. Human beings can be a part of IoT space as well. One of the main goals of IoT space is to assist humans and to do different services for them. In order to be capable of doing that, IoT space must be able to do different human related tasks. One of them is to identify and track multiple objects seamlessly. In the environment where many camera modules are distributed on network, it is important to identify object in order to track it, because different cameras may be needed as object moves throughout the space and IoT space should determine the appropriate one. This paper describes appearance based unknown object tracking with the distributed vision system in IoT space. First, we discuss how object color information is obtained and how the color appearance based model is constructed from this data. Then, we discuss the global color model based on the local color information. The process of learning within global model and the experimental results are also presented.

We propose a robust visual object tracking algorithm fusing a convolutional neural network tracker trained offline from a large number of video repositories and a color histogram based tracker to track objects for mixing immersive audio. Our algorithm addresses the problem of occlusion and large movements of the CNN based GOTURN generic object tracker. The key idea is the offline training of a binary classifier with the color histogram similarity values estimated via both trackers used in this method to opt appropriate tracker for target tracking and update both trackers with the predicted bounding box position of the target to continue tracking. Furthermore, a histogram similarity constraint is applied before updating the trackers to maximize the tracking accuracy. Finally, we compute the depth(z) of the target object by one of the prominent unsupervised monocular depth estimation algorithms to ensure the necessary 3D position of the tracked object to mix the immersive audio into that object. Our proposed algorithm demonstrates about 2% improved accuracy over the outperforming GOTURN algorithm in the existing VOT2014 tracking benchmark. Additionally, our tracker also works well to track multiple objects utilizing the concept of single object tracker but no demonstrations on any MOT benchmark.

본 논문에서는 영상 내에 존재하는 객체영역의 컬러비와 모멘트를 이용한 영상검색을 제안한다. 객체는 영상의 중심에 위치한다는 가설 하에 미리 정의한 중심영역의 우세컬러를 기반으로 수평-수직 투영을 이용하여 객체영역과 배경영역을 분할함으로써 최적의 공간정보를 획득한다. 또한 영상 내 객체의 회전 및 크기에 불변한 특성을 가지기 위해 컬러비와 모멘트를 특징정보로 이용하며 유사성 측정은 컬러 히스토그램의 구간별 연관성을 고려하기 위해 변형된 히스토그램 인터섹션을 이용한다. 실험결과 제안한 방법이 기존의 영역분할에 의한 방법보다 효율적인 결과를 보였다.

This study presents a color 3D scanner based on the laser structured-light imaging method that can simultaneously acquire 3D shape data and color of a target object using a single camera. The 3D data acquisition of the scanner is based on the structured-light imaging method, and the color data is obtained from a natural color image. Because both the laser image and the color image are acquired by the same camera, it is efficient to obtain the 3D data and the color data of a pixel by avoiding the complicated correspondence algorithm. In addition to the 3D data, the color data is helpful for enhancing the realism of an object model. The proposed scanner consists of two line lasers, a color camera, and a rotation table. The line lasers are deployed at either side of the camera to eliminate shadow areas of a target object. This study addresses the calibration methods for the parameters of the camera, the plane equations covered by the line lasers, and the center of the rotation table. Experimental results demonstrate the performance in terms of accurate color and 3D data acquisition in this study.

In this paper, content-based retrieval for region of interest(ROI) has been described, using maximum bin color. From a given query image, the object of interest is selected by a user. Using maximum bin color of the selected object, candidate regions are extracted from database images. The final regions of interest are determined by comparing the normalized histograms of the selected object and each candidate region.
