본 논문에서는 충치 환자의 진단을 위해 구강 영상에서 충치를 추출하는 방법을 제안한다. 먼저 구강은 붉은색을 띄고 치아는 흰색을 띈다는 특징이 있기 때문에, 구강 영상을 YCbCr 컬러모델로 변환한다. YCbCr 컬러모델에 임계치를 설정하여 붉은 영역을 검출해내고, 검출된 붉은 영역에 대해 이진화하여 치아 영역을 추출한다. 그 후, 모폴로지 기법을 이용하여 잡음 제거 및 치아의 빈 공간을 채운다. 치아 영역 추출 시 영상에 따라 치아 사이를 잇는 모서리 부분이 손실된 경우가 발생할 수 있기 때문에 치아 사이의 손실된 부분을 연결 한다. 치아 영역에 ART2 알고리즘을 적용하여 클러스터링하고 충치 후보 영역을 추출한다. 충치 후보 영역에 8방향 윤곽선 추적 기법을 적용하여 충치를 분석 및 추출한다. 실험 결과 81%의 추출 성공률을 보였고 다양한 형태의 충치를 효과적으로 추출할 수 있는 것을 확인하였다.

Digital infrared thermal imaging is a non-invasive adjunctive diagnostic technique that allows an examiner to visualize and quantify changes in skin surface temperature. The asymmetry of temperature differences between the diseased and the contralateral healthy body parts can be automatically analyzed and has been studied in many areas of medical science. In this paper, we propose a method for intelligent automatic asymmetry detection based on a K-means analysis and a YCbCr color model. The implemented software successfully visualizes an asymmetric distribution of colors with respect to the patients’ health status.

This paper describes the color features of smoke in each standard color model in order to present the most suitable color model for somke detection in video surveillance system. Histogram intersection technique is used to analyze the difference characteristics between color of smoke and color of non smoke. The considered standard color models are RGB, YCbCr, CIE-Lab, HSV, and if the calculated histogram intersection value is large for the considered color model, then the smoke spilt characteristics are not good in that color model. If the calculated histogram intersection value is small, then the smoke spilt characteristics are good in that color model. The analyzed result shows that the RGB and HSV color models are the most suitable for color model based smoke detection by performing respectively 0.14 and 0.156 for histogram intersection value.

Skin color information is an important feature for face region detection in color images. This can detect face region using statistical skin color model who is created from skin color information. However, due to the including of different race of people's skin color points, this general statistical model is not accurate enough to detect each specific image as we expected. This paper proposes method to detect correctly face region in various color image that other complexion part is included. In this method set face candidate region applying complexion Gausian distribution based on YCbCr skin color model and applied mathematical morphology to remove noise part and part except face region in color image. And achieved correct face region detection because using Haar-like feature. This approach is capable to distinguish face region from extremely similar skin colors, such as neck skin color or am skin color. Experimental results show that our method can effectively improve face detection results.

In this paper, we propose a new method to extract palm lines and read it with simple techniques from one photo. We use morphological information and 8-directional contour tracking algorithm. From the digitalized image, we transform original RGB information to YCbCr color model which is less sensitive to the brightness information. The palm region is extracted by simple threshold as Y:65~255, Cb:25~255, Cr:130~255 of skin color. Noise removal process is then followed with morphological information of the palm such that the palm area has more than quarter of the pixels and the rate of width vs height is more than 2:1 and 8-directional contour tracking algorithm. Then, the stretching algorithm and Sobel mask are applied to extract edges. Another morphological information that the meaningful edges(palm lines) have between 10 and 20 pixels is used to exclude noise edges and boundary lines of the hand from block binarized image. Main palm lines are extracted then by labeling method. This algorithm is quite effective even reading the palm from a photographed by a mobile phone, which suggests that this method could be used in various applications.

In this paper, we propose an automatic facial phrenology analysis and avatar drawing system based on internet using multi color information and face geometry. In the proposed system, we detect face using logical product of Cr and I which is a components of YCbCr and YIQ color model, respectively. And then, we extract facial feature using face geometry and analyze user's facial phrenology with the classification of each facial feature. And also, the proposed system can make avatar drawing automatically using extracted and classified facial features. Experimental result shows that proposed algorithm can analyze facial phrenology as well as detect and recognize user's face at real-time.

This paper presents an automatic approach to detect face and facial feature from face images based on the color information and deformable model. Skin color information has been widely used for face and facial feature diction since it is effective for object recognition and has less computational burden, In this paper, we propose how to compensates varying light condition and utilize the transformed YCbCr color model to detect candidates region of face and facial feature from color images, Moreover, the detected face facial feature areas are subsequently assigned to a initial condition of active contour model to extract optimal boundaries of face and facial feature by resolving initial boundary problem when the active contour is used, The experimental results show the efficiency of the proposed method, The face and facial feature information will be used for face recognition and facial feature descriptor.

This is applying the Fuzzy Wavelet Morphology Operator which can be simple the image robustly without the loss of data to DTCNN Structure for improving defect which carrys out a lot of operation complexly. Also, this color image can segment Y image with YCbCr space color model which has a lossless feature information of edge boundary sides effectively. This paper can offer the simulation of color images of 50ea for the performance verification of the proposal algorithm.

This paper proposes a fire detection algorithm using low-cost camera to detect visual features of fire. In the previous work sensor cameras were used, but here we use very simple cameras. This method uses YCbCr and YIQ color model to detect candidate regions of fire. The candidate areas are extracted from the boundaries of the fire. noise removal elimination is performed. Regardless of environmental changes around the fire area, the results of the proposed algorithm are very satisfactory.

In this paper, we present Hand-gesture recognition for actual computing into color images from camera. Color images are binarization and labeling by using the YCbCr Color model. Respectively label area seeks the center point of the hand from to search Maximum Inscribed Circle which applies Voronoi-Diagram. This time, searched maximum circle and will analyze the elliptic ingredient which is contiguous so a hand territory will be able to extract. we present the presentation contral system using elliptic element and Maximum Inscribed Circle. This algorithm is to recognize the various environmental problems in the hand gesture recognition in the background objects with similar colors has the advantage that can be effectively eliminated.
