본 논문에서는 칼라 이미지에서 색상 요소를 기초로 하여 얼굴영역을 추출하고 얼굴의 특징요소를 추출하는 방법을 제안한다. 얼굴 영역을 추출하기 위하여 일반적인 얼굴색상분포를 이용하여 색상변환을 하였다. 얼굴 특성요소를 찾기 위하여 윤곽선검출을 이용하였다. 얼굴영역의 상단부분에서 눈의 요소를 찾고, 눈과 입의 지정학적 위치를 이용하여 입의 후보영역을 지정하고 입을 찾도록 하였다. 검색영역을 좁혀 계산량을 줄임으로서 탐색시간을 줄일 수 있고, 일반적인 얼굴색상분포를 이용하여 얼굴 영역을 검출함으로서 얼굴표정, 얼굴색변화, 기울짐에 대해서도 얼굴영역을 검출할 수 있었다.

For future autonomous cars, it is necessary to recognize various surrounding environments such as lanes, traffic lights, and vehicles. This paper presents a method of speed sign recognition from a single image in automatic driving assistance systems. The detection step with the proposed method emphasizes the color attributes in modified YUV color space because speed sign area is affected by color. The proposed method is further improved by extracting the digits from the highlighted circle region. A sequential cascade AdaBoost classifier is then used in the recognition step for real-time processing. Experimental results show the performance of the proposed algorithm is superior to that of conventional algorithms for various speed signs and real-world conditions.

Joint transform correlator (JTC) is a well known tool for color pattern recognition for a color image. Color images have red, green and blue components, thus in conventional JTC, three input channels of these color components are necessary for color pattern recognition. This paper proposes a new technique of color pattern recognition by decomposing the color image into three color components and recombining those components into a single gray image in the input plane. This new technique needs single input channel and single output CCD camera, thus a simple JTC can be used. We present various kinds of simulated results to show that our newly proposed technique can accurately recognize and discriminate color differences.

Many studies have been done to measure and analyze color for various purposes. Visual assessment has lack of objectivity and the equipment for color measurement is very expensive. In this study, we developed a device for quantitative analysis of the color using optical elements. With the color sensor, the ratio of RGB was calculated by measuring the light intensity that is reflected from an object. Inverse transformation of optical signal was performed to detect the color density. The suggested color analyzer can detect color information as well as sample concentration. Results of this study are expected to be used in various medical fields such as pH indicator and urine analysis.

2차원 바코드인 QR코드는 사진, 동영상, 지도, 명함 등 다양한 정보를 더 편리하게 담아낼 수 있다. 현재 스마트 폰의 보급으로 QR코드는 다양한 인쇄 매체에 인쇄하여 연결된 인터넷 정보를 손쉽게 검색하는 수단으로 활용되고 있다. 그러나 QR코드는 정보보안이 용이하지 않아, 결재시스템에 활용하기에는 매우 제한적이다. 본 논문에서는 기존의 QR코드와 컬러 도안을 결합하여 새로운 코드를 설계하여, 제품 인증 시스템이 요구되는 분야에 활용할 수 있는 방안을 제안한다. 제안한 방법은 CMYK 컬러 모델로 인쇄된 정품은 전자기기에서 RGB 컬러 모델로 캡처되며, 이때 컬러의 왜곡이 발생하게 되는데, 이를 컬러 매트릭스를 통해 측정하고, 통계 특성에 기초한 정품 인증시스템을 제안한다. 다양한 종류의 컬러 코드를 통해 본 논문에서 제안한 방법이 제품 인증 시스템에 효과적으로 사용될 수 있음을 보인다.

An image obtained from a low light environment results in a low-exposure problem caused by non-ideal camera settings, i.e. aperture size and shutter speed. Of particular note, the multiple color-filter aperture (MCA) system inherently suffers from low-exposure problems and performance degradation in its image classification and registration processes due to its finite size of the apertures. In this context, this paper presents a novel method for the color enhancement of low-exposure images and its application to color shift model-based MCA system for image refocusing. Although various histogram equalization (HE) approaches have been proposed, they tend to distort the color information of the processed image due to the range limits of the histogram. The proposed color enhancement algorithm enhances the global brightness by analyzing the basic cause of the low-exposure phenomenon, and then compensates for the contrast degradation artifacts by using an adaptive histogram specification. We also apply the proposed algorithm to the preprocessing step of the refocusing technique in the MCA system to enhance the color image. The experimental results confirm that the proposed method can enhance the contrast of any low-exposure color image acquired by a conventional camera, and is suitable for commercial low-cost, high-quality imaging devices, such as consumer-grade camcorders, real-time 3D reconstruction systems, digital, and computational cameras.

The CMS(color management system) software was to enable consistent color reproduction from original to reproduction. The CMS was to create RGB monitor and printer characterization profiles and then use the profiles for device independent color transformation. The implemented CMM(color management module) used the CIELAB color space for the profile connection. Various monitor characterization model was evaluated for proper color transformation. To construct output device profile, SLI(sequential linear interpolation) method was used for the color conversion from CMYK device color to device independent CIELAB color space and tetrahedral interpolation method was used for backward transformation. UCR(under color removal) based black generation algorithm was used to construct CIELAB to CMYK LUT(lookup table). When transforming the CIE Lab colour space to CMYK, it was possible to involve the gray revision method regularized in the brightness into colour transformation process and optimize the colour transformation by black generation method based on UCR technique. For soft copy colour proofing, evaluating several monitor specialism methods showed that LUT algorithm was useful. And it was possible to simplify colour gamut mapping by constructing both the look-up table and the colour gamut mapping algorithm to a reference table.

In this paper, a display color characteristic simulation algorithm is proposed for nonstandard display units under development. In this algorithm, signal transformation matrix is calculated from the transfer characteristic of a nonstandard display unit to reproduce the same color of the one on a standard CRT display. Proposed algorithm can be used for the simulation of various color reproduction characteristics and the performance improvement of the nonstandard display.

This paper proposes a non-contact color inspection system for plasma display panel (PDP). The red, green, and blue test pattern images are acquired by using the area color CCD camera at the various distance from the PDP. The RGB values are obtained from the region of interest (ROI) which are extracted by applying the image processing to the test pattern image. Finally, the CIE xy and u'v' chromaticity coordinates of the test pattern images according to the distance are acquired from the RGB color coordinates.

본 논문에서는 주행하는 차량에 탑재된 카메라에서 획득한 도로 영상에서 차선의 색상을 판별하는 방법을 제안하였다. 자동차의 자율주행기술에 있어 차선 정보는 차선이탈방지(ldws), 능동적 차선유지(lkas), 고속도로주행보조(hda) 등의 자율주행의 레벨(level)이 올라갈수록 중요하다. 특히 차선의 색상, 특히 흰색 및 황색 차선의 구별은 교통사고와 직접적인 관련이 있는 정보이기에 더욱 필요한 기술이다. 본 논문에서는 주행 차선 검출 결과를 기반으로 차선 및 도로의 관심 영역을 추출하고 각 영역의 컬러 정보를 2차원 S-색상 공간으로 투영하였다. S-공간에 투영된 색상의 특징 분포에서 개선된 mean-shift 알고리즘을 이용하여 특징의 무게중심을 구하였다. 좌, 우 차선과 도로영역의 색상특징의 중심점들 사이의 거리 정보를 이용하여 차선의 색상을 판별하였다. 다양한 조명환경에서 약 97%의 색상 인식 성공률을 보였다.
