As interest on intelligent search engines increases, various studies have been conducted to extract and utilize the features related to products intelligencely. In particular, when users search for goods in e-commerce search engines, the 'color' of a product is an important feature that describes the product. Therefore, it is necessary to deal with the synonyms of color terms in order to produce accurate results to user's color-related queries. Previous studies have suggested dictionary-based approach to process synonyms for color features. However, the dictionary-based approach has a limitation that it cannot handle unregistered color-related terms in user queries. In order to overcome the limitation of the conventional methods, this research proposes a model which extracts RGB values from an internet search engine in real time, and outputs similar color names based on designated color information. At first, a color term dictionary was constructed which includes color names and R, G, B values of each color from Korean color standard digital palette program and the Wikipedia color list for the basic color search. The dictionary has been made more robust by adding 138 color names converted from English color names to foreign words in Korean, and with corresponding RGB values. Therefore, the fininal color dictionary includes a total of 671 color names and corresponding RGB values. The method proposed in this research starts by searching for a specific color which a user searched for. Then, the presence of the searched color in the built-in color dictionary is checked. If there exists the color in the dictionary, the RGB values of the color in the dictioanry are used as reference values of the retrieved color. If the searched color does not exist in the dictionary, the top-5 Google image search results of the searched color are crawled and average RGB values are extracted in certain middle area of each image. To extract the RGB values in images, a variety of different ways was attempted since there are limits to simply obtain the average of the RGB values of the center area of images. As a result, clustering RGB values in image's certain area and making average value of the cluster with the highest density as the reference values showed the best performance. Based on the reference RGB values of the searched color, the RGB values of all the colors in the color dictionary constructed aforetime are compared. Then a color list is created with colors within the range of ${\pm}50$ for each R value, G value, and B value. Finally, using the Euclidean distance between the above results and the reference RGB values of the searched color, the color with the highest similarity from up to five colors becomes the final outcome. In order to evaluate the usefulness of the proposed method, we performed an experiment. In the experiment, 300 color names and corresponding color RGB values by the questionnaires were obtained. They are used to compare the RGB values obtained from four different methods including the proposed method. The average euclidean distance of CIE-Lab using our method was about 13.85, which showed a relatively low distance compared to 3088 for the case using synonym dictionary only and 30.38 for the case using the dictionary with Korean synonym website WordNet. The case which didn't use clustering method of the proposed method showed 13.88 of average euclidean distance, which implies the DBSCAN clustering of the proposed method can reduce the Euclidean distance. This research suggests a new color synonym processing method based on RGB values that combines the dictionary method with the real time synonym processing method for new color names. This method enables to get rid of the limit of the dictionary-based approach which is a conventional synonym processing method. This research can contribute to improve the intelligence of e-commerce search systems especially on the color searching feature.

The Conventional methods of color separation in computer-based machine vision offer only weak performance because of environmental factors such as light source, camera sensitivity, and others. In this paper, we propose an improved color separation method using RGB, HLS, color coordination space, and fuzzy similarity measure. RGB consists of red, green and blue, the three primary colors of light. HLS includes hue, light and saturation, the human recognition elements of co]or. A fuzzy similarity measure was employed for evaluate the similarity among fuzzy colors with the six features of RGB and HLS.

본 논문에서는 색상정보를 이용한 얼굴 검출 알고리즘에 대해 소개하고자 한다. 여러 개의 얼굴 검출에 적용되는 이 알고리즘은 피부색의 학습 과정과 입력영상에 대한 얼굴 검출 과정으로 크게 두 가지로 나눌 수 있다. 특히 본 연구에서는 피부색이 본 논문에서 제안한 새로운 RGB 영역에서 직선을 이루는 특징을 이용하여 학습 data를 구성한다. 이렇게 구성된 data를 입력영상에 적용함으로써 1차 얼굴 후보영역을 결정한다. 그런 후 1차 후보영역을 세로방향과 가로방향으로 투영시킴으로써 최종 얼굴 영역을 찾아낸다. 실험을 통해 이 알고리즘은 기존의 색상정보를 이용한 얼굴검출 방법에 비해 얼굴 개수에 상관없이 높은 검출 성공률을 보여주었다.

In this paper, we presents a method of retrieving 24 bpp RGB images based on color-spatial features. For each image, it is subdivided into regions by using similarity of color after converting RGB color space to CIE L*u*v* color space that is perceptually uniform. Our segmentation algorithm constrains the size of region because a small region is discardable and a large region is difficult to extract spatial feature. For each region, averaging color and center of region are extracted to construct color-spatial features. During the image retrieval process, the color and spatial features of query are compared with those of the database images using our similarity measure to determine the set of candidate images to be retrieved. We implement a content-based color image retrieval system using the proposed method. The system is able to retrieve images by user graphic or example image query. Experimental results show that Recall/Precision is 0.80/0.84.

인터넷상의 대부분 이미지 검색엔진들은 이미지의 실제 내용보다는 이미지 파일명이나 부가적인 색인과 같은 문자 정보에 의존하여 이미지 검색을 하고 있다. 한편 이미지의 색상 정보를 비교에 사용하는 RGB 히스토그램 방법은 수행시간은 짧지만 형태는 고려하지 않기 때문에 높은 정확도는 기대하기 어렵다. 본 논문에서는 이미지의 실제 내용을 비교하여 비정형의 복잡한 물체를 검색하는 새로운 이미지 검색 알고리즘을 제안한다. 제안하는 알고리즘은 이미지의 색상과 형태 정보를 담은 타일 서열을 local alignment 알고리즘으로 정렬하여 이미지 검색을 한다 비정형 물체인 음식 사진을 사용한 실험에서 기존의 방법 RGB 히스토그램을 이용한 방법보다 월등히 향상된 정확도를 나타내었다.

In this paper, we propose the method the vehicle color recognizing in the image including a vehicle. In an image, the color feature vector of a vehicle is extracted and by using the backpropagation learning algorithm, that is the multi-layer perceptron, the recognized vehicle color. By using the RGB and HSI color model the feature vector used as the input of the backpropagation learning algorithm is the feature of the color used as the input of the neural network. The color of a vehicle recognizes as the white, the silver color, the black, the red, the yellow, the blue, and the green among the color of the vehicle most very much found out as 7 colors. By using the image including a vehicle for the performance evaluation of the method proposing, the color recognition performance was experimented.

In this paper, we propose a method for classifying and tracking objects based on information of multiple users obtained using RGB-D cameras. The 3D information and color information acquired through the RGB-D camera are acquired and information about each user is stored. We propose a user classification and location tracking algorithm in the entire image by calculating the similarity between users in the current frame and the previous frame through the information on the location and appearance of each user obtained from the entire image.

In this paper, we design and implement a lighting system which has a capability of adjusting brightness and colors of LED module. The lighting systems is consisted of RGB and white LEDs controlled by a micro-processor. All colors in nature can be synthesized in our lighting system by controlling brightness of 4 color LEDs individually. The current flowing to LED is limited to a maximum set value to extend the LED life time using PWM current control. The control module also includes the function that it can save and load brightness and color data set by the user. The implemented lighting system passed the electromagnetic compatibility(EMC) test such that it can be used as a commercial product.

Recently, Organic Light Emitting Diode (OLED) that is broadly applied as next generation display has various advantages. However, OLED display causes unbalanced color tone due to the difference of luminance efficiency among luminous elements. In this paper, we propose adaptive color shifter (ACS) to resolve the RGB channel unbalance and to have wide color range of a relatively weak channel using the image processing method. proposed ACS system was simulated using a variety of image. Also, we numerically analyzed using hue histogram, CIE-1931 xyz color space.
