Color image is largely corrupted by various ambient illumination. However, human perceives always white color as white under any illumination because of a characteristic of human vision, called color constancy. In the conventional algorithm which applied the constancy effect, after the RGB color space is transformed to the IHS(Intensity, Hue, and Saturation) color space, then the hue is preserved and the intensity or the saturation is properly enhanced. Then the enhanced IHS color is reversely transformed to the RGB color space. In this process, the color distortion is included due to the color gamut error. But in the proposed algorithm, there is not transformation. In that, the RGB color is considered as 3 dimensional color vector and we assume that white color is the natural daylight. As the color vector of the illumination can be calculated as the average vector of R, G, and B image, we can achieve the constancy effect by simply rotating the illumination vector to the white color vector. The simulation results show the efficiency of the vector rotating process for color image enhancement.

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.

Drone and sensor technologies are enabling digitalization of agricultural crop's growth information and accelerating the development of the precision agriculture. These technologies could be able to assess damage of crops when natural disaster occurs, and contribute to the scientification of the crop insurance assessment method, which is being conducted through field survey. This study was aimed to calculate lodged damage rate from the vegetation indices extracted by drone based RGB images for soybean. Support Vector Classifier (SVC) models were considered by adding vegetation indices to the Crop Surface Model (CSM) based lodged damage rate. Visible Atmospherically Resistant Index (VARI) and Green Red Vegetation Index (GRVI) based lodged damage rate classification were shown the highest accuracy score as 0.709 and 0.705 each. As a result of this study, it was confirmed that drone based RGB images can be used as a useful tool for estimating the rate of lodged damage. The result acquired from this study can be used to the satellite imagery like Sentinel-2 and RapidEye when the damages from the natural disasters occurred.

Immersive 360-degree media has a problem of slowing down the video recognition speed when the video is processed by the conventional method using a variety of rendering methods, and the video size becomes larger with higher quality and extra-large volume than the existing video. In addition, in most cases, only one scene is captured by fixing the camera in a specific place due to the characteristics of the immersive 360-degree media, it is not necessary to extract feature information from all scenes. In this paper, we propose a reference frame selection method for immersive 360-degree media and describe its application process to copyright protection technology. In the proposed method, three pre-processing processes such as frame extraction of immersive 360 media, frame downsizing, and spherical form rendering are performed. In the rendering process, the video is divided into 16 frames and captured. In the central part where there is much object information, an object is extracted using an RGB vector per pixel and deep learning, and a reference frame is selected using object feature information.

In this paper, an improved fractal color image decoding method using the data dependence parts and the vector distortion measure is proposed. The vector distortion measure exploits the correlation between different color components. The pixel in RGB color space can be considered as a 30dimensional vector with elements of RGB components. The root mean square error(rms) in RGB color for similarity measure of two blocks R and R' was used. We assume that various parameter necessary in image decoding are stored in the transform table. If the parameter is referenced in decoding image, then decoding is performed by the recursive decoding method. If the parameter is not referenced in decoding image, then the parameters recognize as the data dependence parts and store its in the memory. Non-referenced parts can be decoded only one time, because its domain informations exist in the decoded parts by the recursive decoding method. Non-referenced parts are defined the data dependence parts. Image decoding method using data dependence classifies referenced parts and non-referenced parts using information of transform table. And the proposed method can be decoded only one time for R region decoding speed than Zhang & Po's method, since it is decreased the computational numbers by execution iterated contractive transformations for the referenced range only.

AI intelligent agriculture and digital agriculture are important for the science of agriculture. Leaf chlorophyll contents(LCC) are one of the most important indicators to determine the growth status of vegetable crops. In this study, a support vector machine (SVM) regression model was produced using an unmanned aerial vehicle-based RGB camera and a multispectral (MSP) sensor for onions and garlic, and the LCC estimation applicability of the RGB camera was reviewed by comparing it with the MSP sensor. As a result of this study, the RGB-based LCC model showed lower results than the MSP-based LCC model with an average R² of 0.09, RMSE 18.66, and nRMSE 3.46%. However, the difference in accuracy between the two sensors was not large, and the accuracy did not drop significantly when compared with previous studies using various sensors and algorithms. In addition, the RGB-based LCC model reflects the field LCC trend well when compared with the actual measured value, but it tends to be underestimated at high chlorophyll concentrations. It was possible to confirm the applicability of the LCC estimation with RGB considering the economic feasibility and versatility of the RGB camera. The results obtained from this study are expected to be usefully utilized in digital agriculture as AI intelligent agriculture technology that applies artificial intelligence and big data convergence technology.

Behavior awareness is a technology that recognizes human behavior through data and can be used in applications such as risk behavior through video surveillance systems. Conventional behavior recognition algorithms have been performed using the 2D camera image device or multi-mode sensor or multi-view or 3D equipment. When two-dimensional data was used, the recognition rate was low in the behavior recognition of the three-dimensional space, and other methods were difficult due to the complicated equipment configuration and the expensive additional equipment. In this paper, we propose a method of recognizing human behavior using only CCTV images without additional equipment using only RGB and depth information. First, the skeleton extraction algorithm is applied to extract points of joints and body parts. We apply the equations to transform the vector including the displacement vector and the relational vector, and study the continuous vector data through the RNN model. As a result of applying the learned model to various data sets and confirming the accuracy of the behavior recognition, the performance similar to that of the existing algorithm using the 3D information can be verified only by the 2D information.

This paper presents a new method for the detection of multiple pedestrians and tracking of a specific pedestrian using color information from a moving camera. We first extract motion vector on the input image using BMA. Next, a difference image is calculated on the basis of the motion vector. The difference image is converted to a binary image. The binary image has an unnecessary noise. So, it is removed by means of the proposed noise deletion method. Then, we detect pedestrians through the projection algorithm. But, if pedestrians are very adjacent to each other, we separate them using RGB color information. And we track a specific pedestrian using RGB color information in center region of it. The experimental results on our test sequences demonstrated the high efficiency of our approach as it had shown detection success ratio of 97％ and detection failure ratio of 3％ and excellent tracking.

This paper proposes a vehicle license plate recognition system, which has relatively a simple structure and is highly tolerant of noise, by using the DCT(Discrete Cosine Transform) coefficients extracted from the character region of a license plate and the LVQ(Learning Vector Quantization) neural network. The image of a license plate is taken from a captured vehicle image based on RGB color information, and the character region is derived by the histogram of the license plate and the relative position of individual characters in the plate. The feature vector obtained by the DCT of extracted character region is utilized as an input to the LVQ neural classifier fur the recognition process. In the experiment, 109 vehicle images captured under various types of circumstances were tested with the proposed method, and the relatively high extraction rate of license plates and recognition rate were achieved.
