In this paper, we proposed a two-level feature vector fusion technique to improve the performance of target classification. The proposed method combines feature vectors of the early-time region and late-time region in the first-level fusion. In the second-level fusion, we combine the monostatic and bistatic features obtained in the first level. The radar cross section (RCS) of the 3D full-scale model is obtained using the electromagnetic analysis tool FEKO, and then, the feature vector of the target is extracted from it. The feature vector based on the waveform structure is used as the feature vector of the early-time region, while the resonance frequency extracted using the evolutionary programming-based CLEAN algorithm is used as the feature vector of the late-time region. The study results show that the two-level fusion method is better than the one-level fusion method.

A face detection in color images is important for many multimedia applications. It is first step for face recognition and can be used for classifying specific shorts. This paper describes a new method to detect faces in color images based on the skin color and hair color. This paper presents a fuzzy-based method for classifying skin color region in a complex background under varying illumination. The Fuzzy rule bases of the fuzzy system are generated using training method like a genetic algorithm(GA). We find the skin color region and hair color region using the fuzzy system and apply the convex-hull to each region and find the face from their intersection relationship. To validity the effectiveness of the proposed method, we make experiment with various cases.

This study proposed two multisensor fusion methods for segment-based image classification utilizing a region-growing segmentation. The proposed algorithms employ a Gaussian-PDF measure and an evidential measure respectively. In remote sensing application, segment-based approaches are used to extract more explicit information on spatial structure compared to pixel-based methods. Data from a single sensor may be insufficient to provide accurate description of a ground scene in image classification. Due to the redundant and complementary nature of multisensor data, a combination of information from multiple sensors can make reduce classification error rate. The Gaussian-PDF method defines a regional measure as the PDF average of pixels belonging to the region, and assigns a region into a class associated with the maximum of regional measure. The evidential fusion method uses two measures of plausibility and belief, which are derived from a mass function of the Beta distribution for the basic probability assignment of every hypothesis about region classes. The proposed methods were applied to the SPOT XS and ENVISAT data, which were acquired over Iksan area of of Korean peninsula. The experiment results showed that the segment-based method of evidential measure is greatly effective on improving the classification via multisensor fusion.

본 논문에서는 깊이정보에 기반한 watershed와 영역병합 알고리즘을 이용한 얼굴영역 분할 방법을 제안하였다. 얼굴영역 검출은 영역 분할 단계, 초기 화소 영역 검출 단계, 영역 병합의 세 단계로 구성된다. 입력된 컬러 영상은 제안된 알고리즘에 의해 균일한 작은 영역들로 분할된다. 색도정보와 에지 구속 조건을 사용하여 균일한 영역들을 결합함으로써 얼굴영역을 검출한다. 제안한 알고리즘은 색도정보나 에지정보만을 사용하는 기존 방법에서의 문제점을 해결하였다. 제안한 알고리즘의 성능을 평가하기 위해 컴퓨터 시뮬레이션을 하였으며 정확한 얼굴 영역을 분할할 수 있었다.

Watershed Segmentation with Multiple Merging Conditions in Region Growing Process The watershed segmentation method holds the merits of edge-based and region-based methods together, but still shows some problems such as over segmentation and merging fault. We propose an algorithm which overcomes the problems of the watershed method and shows efficient performance for .general images, not for specific ones. The algorithm segments or merges regions by thresholding the depths of the catchment basins, the similarities and the sizes of the regions. The experimental results shows the reduction of the number of the segmented regions that are suitable to human visual system and consciousness.

본 논문은 비규칙 종속성을 가진 내포된 루프의 수행 속도를 향상시키기 위해서 Extended Three Region Partitioning Method 라는 효과적인 루프 분할 방법에 대해서 연구하였다. 본 논문에서 제안된 루프 분할 방법은 변수 재명명에 의해서 역종속성을 가진 내포된 루프를 제거한 후 네 개의 선중에 하나 혹은 그 이상의 적절한 선을 선택하는 알고리즘을 개발한다. 한 개의 선이 선택되면 선택된 선에 의해서 전체 영역은 두 개의 병렬지역으로 분할된다. 한 개 이상의 선이 선택되면 그 선들에 의해서 하나의 순차지역과 두 개의 병렬지역으로 분할한다. 제안된 분할 방법은 기존의 분할 방법보다 성능이 우수함을 성능 분석에서 보여준다.

기존 화소 기반 영역분할 방법은 주변 화소와 비교를 통하여 영역 분할을 수행하기 때문에 처리 시간이 길고, 영역 분할이 부정확한 문제점을 가지고 있다. 본 논문에서는 대용량 위성 영상을 효과적으로 영역 분할하기 위하여 영역 분할 및 합병 기법을 이용한 수정된 중심 연결 방법을 제안한다. 자신의 화소 값을 주변의 화소 값들과 비교하여 조건이 비슷할 경우 주변의 화소들을 합병하여 영역을 생성하는 방법으로 2방향으로만 주변 화소 값들과 비교를 수행하여 분할영역을 생성 및 합병한다. 실험결과 제안된 방법이 기존의 화소 기반 영역 분할 방법들보다 알고리즘이 간단하고 연산량이 작아 처리 시간이 짧으면서도 분할의 정확도가 우수한 영역기반 위성영상 영역분할 방법임을 알 수 있었다.

This paper presents an efficient object-based color image-retrieval algorithm that is suitable for the classification and retrieval of images from small to mid-scale datasets, such as images in PCs, tablets, phones, and cameras. The proposed method first finds salient regions by using regional feature vectors, and also finds several dominant colors in each region. Then, each salient region is partitioned into small sub-blocks, which are assigned 1 or 0 with respect to the number of pixels corresponding to a dominant color in the sub-block. This gives a binary map for the dominant color, and this process is repeated for the predefined number of dominant colors. Finally, we have several binary maps, each of which corresponds to a dominant color in a salient region. Hence, the binary maps represent the spatial distribution of the dominant colors in the salient region, and the union (OR operation) of the maps can describe the approximate shapes of salient objects. Also proposed in this paper is a matching method that uses these binary maps and which needs very few computations, because most operations are binary. Experiments on widely used color image databases show that the proposed method performs better than state-of-the-art and previous color-based methods.

In this paper, we propose a new adaptive dissolve detection method based on the analysis of a dissolve modeling error that is the difference between an ideally modeled dissolve curve without any correlation and an actual variance curve with a correlation. The dissolve modeling error is determined based on a correlation between two scenes and variances for each scene. First, Candidate regions are extracted by using the characteristics of a parabola that is downward convex, then the candidate region will be verified based on a dissolve modeling error. If a dissolve modeling error on a candidate region is less than a threshold that is defined by a dissolve modeling error with a target correlation, the candidate region should be a dissolve region with a correlation less than the target correlation. The threshold is adaptively determined based on the variances between the candidate regions and the target correlation. By considering the correlation between neighbor scenes, the proposed method is able to be a semantic scene-change detector. The proposed algorithm was tested on various types of data and its performance proved to be more accurate and reliable when compared with other commonly used methods
