This paper describes a system fur tracking multiple faces in an input video sequence using facial convex hull based facial segmentation and robust hausdorff distance. The algorithm adapts skin color reference map in YCbCr color space and hair color reference map in RGB color space for classifying face region. Then, we obtain an initial face model with preprocessing and convex hull. For tracking, this algorithm computes displacement of the point set between frames using a robust hausdorff distance and the best possible displacement is selected. Finally, the initial face model is updated using the displacement. We provide an example to illustrate the proposed tracking algorithm, which efficiently tracks rotating and zooming faces as well as existing multiple faces in video sequences obtained from CCD camera.

An image segmentation approach based on the fuzzy worm searching and MIN-MAx clusterng algorithm is proposed in this paper. This algorithm deals with fuzzy worm value and min-max node at a gross scene level, which investigates the edge information including fuzzy worm action. But current segmentation methods based edge extraction methods generally need the mask information for the algebraic model, and take long run times at mask operation, wheras the proposed algorithm has single operation ccording to active searching of fuzzy worms. In addition, we also genetic min-max clustering using genetic algorithm to complete clustering and fuzyz searching on grey-histogram of image for the optimum solution, which can automatically determine the size of rnages and has both strong robust and speedy calculation. The simulation results showed that the proposed algorithm adaptively divided the quantized images in histogram region and performed single searching methods, significantly alleviating the increase of the computational load and the memory requirements.

In this paper, a hierarchical spatio-temporal image segmentation method based on binary split algorithm is proposed. Intensity and displacement vector at each pixel are used for image segmentation. The displacement vectors between two image frames which skip over one or several frames can be approximated by accumulating of the velocity vectors calculated from optical flow between two successive frames when the time interval between the two image frames is short enough or the motion is slow. The pixels whose displacement vector and intensity are ambiguous are precisely decided by the modified watershed algorithm using the proposed priority measure. In the experiment, the region of moving object is precisely segmented.

An local adaptive image segmentatin algorithm for local feature detection and effective clustering of unimodal histogram shape are proposed. Local adaptive difference image and its histogram are obtained from the input image. The parameters are derived from the histogram and used for the segmentation based on relaxatin process. The results showed effective region segmentation and good noise cleaning for the ocular fundus fluorescein angiogram which has low contrast and unimodal histogram.

Obtained disparity map from the stereo camera by using the several stereo matching algorithms carries lots of noise because of various causes. In our approach, mode filtering and noise elimination technique using the histogram and projection-based region merging methods are adopted for improving the quality of disparity map and image segmentation. The proposed algorithms are implemented in VHDL and the real-time experimentation shows the accurately divided objects.

Mass형 종양 분할의 성능은 mass의 초기 위치에 큰 영향을 받는다. 따라서 몇몇의 논문들은 방사선 전문의로부터 획득한 mass의 초기 위치를 이용하여 종양의 분할을 진행하였다. 그러나, 본 논문은 mass 검출을 위한 부가정보 없이 디지털 마모그램만을 이용한 컴퓨터 지원 진단 시스템을 구성하여 방사선 전문의에게 mass로 추정되는 곳의 위치를 제시함을 목표로 한다. 제안된 시스템은 영역 확장 기법과 열림 연산을 통한 유방 영역 분할, 분할된 유방영역에서 mass 특성을 갖는 위치의 시드 설정, 설정된 시드 기반 레벨 셋을 통한 mass 영역 분할로 구성된다. Mass 분할을 위한 시드 설정은 부표본화된 유방영상에 대해 블록기반 분산 정보와 마스킹 정보를 이용하는 Mass Scoring Measure(MSM) system을 통하여 수행되었다. 테스트에 사용된 이미지는 DDSM 데이터베이스를 사용하였으며, 실험 결과 종양검출의 정확도는 4 FP/image에서 78%의 민감도를 나타내었고, 상하방향(CC)과 내외사방향(MLO) 이미지를 동시 고려시 92%의 민감도를 보였다.

Computer vision-based damage detection enables non-contact, efficient and low-cost bridge health monitoring, which reduces the need for labor-intensive manual inspection or that for a large number of on-site sensing instruments. By leveraging recent semantic segmentation approaches, we can detect regions of critical structural components and identify damages at pixel level on images. However, existing methods perform poorly when detecting small and thin damages (e.g., cracks); the problem is exacerbated by imbalanced samples. To this end, we incorporate domain knowledge to introduce a hierarchical semantic segmentation framework that imposes a hierarchical semantic relationship between component categories and damage types. For instance, certain types of concrete cracks are only present on bridge columns, and therefore the noncolumn region may be masked out when detecting such damages. In this way, the damage detection model focuses on extracting features from relevant structural components and avoid those from irrelevant regions. We also utilize multi-scale augmentation to preserve contextual information of each image, without losing the ability to handle small and/or thin damages. In addition, our framework employs an importance sampling, where images with rare components are sampled more often, to address sample imbalance. We evaluated our framework on a public synthetic dataset that consists of 2,000 railway bridges. Our framework achieves a 0.836 mean intersection over union (IoU) for structural component segmentation and a 0.483 mean IoU for damage segmentation. Our results have in total 5% and 18% improvements for the structural component segmentation and damage segmentation tasks, respectively, compared to the best-performing baseline model.

본 논문은 전이 영역에서 퍼지 클러스터링 알고리즘을 이용한 multi-level thresholding 방법을 제안한다. 대부분의 임계치 기반 영상 분할은 영상의 히스토 그램 분포를 기반으로 임계치를 결정한다. 그러므로 많은 처리시간과 기억공간을 요구할 뿐만 아니라 복잡하고 무분별한 히스토 그램 분포를 가지는 실영상에서의 임계치 결정에는 어려움이 있다. 본 논문에서는 영상의 대표적인 성분들로 구성된 전이 영역을 추출한 후 퍼지 클러스터링 알고리즘에 의해 최적의 임계치를 결정한다. 전이 영역을 추출하기 위해 이용되는 지역적 엔트로피는 잡음에 강건하며 영상에 내재된 정보를 잘 표현한다는 특성을 가진다. 그리고 퍼지 클러스터링 알고리즘은 복잡하고 무분별한 분포의 실영상에 대해서도 정확히 임계치를 설정할 수 있으며 multi-level thresholding으로 쉽게 확장이 가능하다. 다양한 실영상을 대상으로 실험한 결과, 제안한 방법이 기존의 방법보다 향상된 성능을 가짐을 보였다.

본 논문에서는 영상을 3분할 기법에 맞춰 재구성함으로써 자동으로 구도를 안정적이고 세련되게 보정하는 기법을 제안한다. Saliency Map과 Image Segmentation기술을 이용하여 사진에서 피사체의 관심영역(Region Of Interest, ROI)을 구하고, 그 영역을 기준으로 3분할 기법에 맞도록 사진을 Cropping하여 구도를 보정한다. 또한, 얼굴 인식(Face Detection)기법을 활용하여 사람의 얼굴을 ROI에 추가하고 ROI에 따른 다양한 시나리오에 의하여 구도를 보정함으로써, 좀 더 자연스러운 사진을 얻는다. 실험결과를 통해 보정된 구도의 사진이 원본사진과 비교하여 자연스럽게 보정이 되었는다는 것을 알 수 있다.
