In this paper, we propose the classification method of medicine bottle images using the features with color and size information. It is difficult to classify with size feature only, because there are many similar sizes of bottles. Therefore, we suggest a classification method based on color information, which robust to illumination variations. First, we extract MBR(Minimum Boundary Rectangle) of medicine bottle area using Binary Threshold of Red, Green, and Blue in image and classify images with size. Then, hue information and RGB color average rate are used to classify image, which features are robust to lighting variations. Finally, using SURF(Speed Up Robust Features) algorithm, corresponding image can be found from candidates with previous extracted features. The proposed method makes to reduce execution time and minimize the error rate and is confirmed to be reliable and efficient from experiment.

The existing recognition system of license plates cannot get the satisfactory result in noise environments. The purpose of this paper is to propose an algorithm that can recognize the region of license plates accurately in a noise environment. The algorithm is formulated by reorganizing the U- and V-channels of YUV color space as YUV is insensitive to light and carries less data than RGB color information. The region of license plates has been extracted by the geometric characteristics, sizes, and places of labeling images. The proposed algorithm was found to improve the process of extracting the region of license plates in various noise environments.

This paper aims for developing the intelligent robot emulating human synesthetic skills which associate a color image with sound, so that we are able to build an application system based on the principle of mutual conversion between color image and sound. As the first step, in this study, we have tried to realize a basic system using the color image to sound conversion. This study describes a new conversion method to convert color image into sound, based on the likelihood in the physical frequency information between light and sound. In addition, we present the method of converting color image into sound using color model conversion as well as histograms in the converted color model. In the basis of the method proposed in this study, we built a basic system using Microsoft Visual C++(ver. 6.0). The simulation results revealed that the hue, saturation and intensity elements of a input color image were converted into F0, harmonic and octave elements of a sound, respectively. The converted sound elements were synthesized to generate a sound source with WAV file format using Csound toolkit.

2-dimensional barcode, QR code has been used for containing various information such as image, video, map, and business cards. Currently, a smartphone is used as a QR code scanner, displaying the code and converting it to a standard URL for a website. However, QR codes are not very common in encrypted application and so have a few applications. This paper proposes a new color-code, which integrates the conventional QR code and color design, and can be effectively used in some product certification system. The proposed method exploits the fact that genuine code is produced by CMYK color model, but the counterfeit is captured by RGB color model and during this process, color information of the code is changed. This paper introduces the color matrix model to measure the distortion between genuine code and counterfeit code. By investigating the statistical characteristics of color matrix, an effective detection of print image forgeries are designed. Various experiments with color codes show that the proposed system can be effectively used in product certification systems.

본 논문에서는 실시간 CCD 카메라 입력 영상으로부터 다중 컬러 정보를 이용하여 얼굴 영역을 검출 및 추적하고 기울어진 얼굴을 보정하는 알고리즘을 제안하였다. 제안한 알고리즘은 먼저 획득된 RGB 영상에서 YCbCr컬러 모델과 YIQ컬러 모델로 변환한 후 Cr성분과 I성분을 추출하여 얼굴 피부색을 검출, 얼굴 영역 추출에 사용하였다. 또한 추출된 얼굴 후보 영역에서 수평, 수직 투영(Projection)정보로부터 최종 얼굴 영역으로 검출한 다음 검출된 얼굴 중심 좌표와 이전에 검출된 얼굴 중심 좌표 값을 유클리드언 거리로 얼굴을 추적하였으며 검출된 얼굴로부터 레이블링(Labeling)기법으로 눈 특징자를 검출, 눈의 기울기 각도를 보정함으로써 얼굴 기울기를 보정하였다. 제안한 얼굴 추적 및 기울기 보정 알고리즘을 사용하여 실험한 결과 다중 색상 정보를 사용함으로써 주위환경 변화에 강인하게 실시간 얼굴 영역 김출 및 추적이 가능하였고, 기울어진 얼굴 영상을 자동 보정함으로써 인식에 용이하였다.

The main purpose of this paper is to compare the performances of various filters with color images to remove the noise. Furthermore, we suggest a modified de-noising process by the transformation of color model from RGB to another color models, such as HSV and $YC_BC_R$, to improve the quality of de-noising methods encompassing Median, Wiener, and Mean filters. Neither the performance comparison of the de-noising filters with color images nor the converting the color model for better de-noise on the degraded images haven't been performed before. Inspired to make improvements, we conduct experiments with new de-noising process on color images. The result of the experiments is shown that it could assist on certain filters being more reliable techniques.

This paper focuses on a real-time hardware processing by implementing the ARM Cortex-M4 based embedded system, using a conversion algorithm from a muscular sense to both visual and auditory elements, which recognizes rotations of a human body, directional changes and motion amounts out of human senses. As an input method of muscular sense, AHRS(Attitude Heading Reference System) was used to acquire roll, pitch and yaw values in real time. These three input values were converted into three elements of HSI color model such as intensity, hue and saturation, respectively. Final color signals were acquired by converting HSI into RGB color model. In addition, Three input values of muscular sense were converted into three elements of sound such as octave, scale and velocity, which were synthesized to give an output sound using MIDI(Musical Instrument Digital Interface). The analysis results of both output color and sound signals revealed that input signals of muscular sense were correctly converted into both color and sound in real time by the proposed conversion method.

Since the face in image content corresponds to individual information that can distinguish a specific person from other people, it is important to accurately detect faces not hidden in an image. In this paper, we propose a method to accurately detect a face from input images using a deep learning algorithm, which is one of the machine learning methods. In the proposed method, image input via the red-green-blue (RGB) color model is first changed to the luminance-chroma: blue-chroma: red-chroma ($YC_bC_r$) color model; then, other regions are removed using the learned skin color model, and only the skin regions are segmented. A CNN model-based deep learning algorithm is then applied to robustly detect only the face region from the input image. Experimental results show that the proposed method more efficiently segments facial regions from input images. The proposed face area-detection method is expected to be useful in practical applications related to multimedia and shape recognition.
