본 논문에서는 색상 군집화를 이용한 입술탐지 알고리즘을 제안한다. RGB 색상 모델로 주어진 입력영상에서 AdaBoost 알고리즘을 이용하여 얼굴영역을 추출한 후, 얼굴영역을 Lab 컬러 모델로 변환한다. Lab 컬러 모델에서 a 성분은 입술과 유사한 색상을 잘 표현할 수 있는 반면 b 성분은 입술의 보색을 표현할 수 있기 때문에 Lab 컬러로 표현된 얼굴영역에서 a와 b 성분을 기준으로 최단 이웃(nearest neighbour) 군집화 알고리즘을 이용하여 피부 영역을 분리한 후, K-means 색상 군집화를 통해 입술 후보 영역을 추출하고, 마지막으로 기하학적 특징을 이용하여 최종적인 입술영역을 탐지하였다. 실험 결과는 제안된 방법이 강건하게 입술을 탐지함을 보인다.

The focus of this paper is on devising an efficient clustering task for arbitrary color data. In order to tackle this problem, the inherent uncertainty and vagueness of color are represented by a fuzzy color model. By taking a fuzzy approach to color representation, the proposed model makes a soft decision for the vague regions between neighboring colors. A definition on a three-dimensional fuzzy color ball is introduced, and the degree of membership of color is computed by employing a distance measure between a fuzzy color and color data. With the fuzzy color model, a novel fuzzy clustering algorithm for efficient partition of color data is developed.

The research Interest of this paper is focused on the efficient clustering task for an arbitrary color data. In order to tackle this problem, we have tiled to model the inherent uncertainty and vagueness of color data using fuzzy color model. By laking a fuzzy approach to color modeling, we could make a soft decision for the vague regions between neighboring colors. The proposed fuzzy color model defined a three dimensional fuzzy color ball and color membership computation method with the two inter-color distance measures. With the fuzzy color model, we developed a new fuzzy clustering algorithm for an efficient partition of color data. Each fuzzy cluster set has a cluster prototype which is represented by fuzzy color centroid.

Color는 다른 물체로부터 하나의 물체를 특정짓기 위한 효과적이고 강인한 실마리이므로 color clustering이 많은 주목을 받고 있다. 그러나 불규칙한 조명변화에 의한 color 변이 때문에 color segmentation은 매우 어렵다. 이 논문은 B-spline 곡선을 이용한, HSI color space에서의 intensity 정보를 포함한 신뢰할 수 있는 color modeling 방법을 제안한다. 이것은 비록 HS 평균임에도 불구하고 단색 물체의 color 분포가 조명이 변함에따라 변한다는 사실에 기반한다. 이 접근법을 사용하면 피부색을 가진 영역의 color clustering이 불규칙한 조명변화에 적응될 수 있다.

A new color image segmentation scheme is presented in this paper. The proposed algorithm consists of image simplification, region labeling and color clustering. The vector-valued diffusion process is performed in the perceptually uniform LUV color space. We present a discrete 3-D diffusion model for easy implementation. The statistical characteristics of each labeled region are employed to estimate the number of total clusters and agglomerative hierarchical clustering is performed with the estimated number of clusters. Since the proposed clustering algorithm counts each region as a unit, it does not generate oversegmentation along region boundaries.

HSV색공간을 이용한 칼라화상의 클러스터링 및 색차평가에 관한 연구(A Study on Clustering and Color Difference Evaluation of Color Image using HSV Color Space) pp.20~27 칼라화상을 화상부호화, 리모트 센싱, 컴퓨터비젼 등의 분야에 이용하기 위해서는 인간이 감각적으로 취급하기 쉬운 색공간으로 화상정보를 변환시켜야 한다. 색상, 명도, 채도를 근거로한 Munsell색공간은 인간의 색지각과 영역간의 색차가 일치하는 특징으로 인하여 칼라화상의 클러스터링에 이용되고 있다. 본 논문에서는 RGB입력화상을 ${L^*}{a^*}{b^*}$ 균등색공간으로 변환하고, 색지각과 일치되는 HSV색공간으로 근사화시킴으로써, 각 좌표축을 중심으로 클러스터링과 그 색차를 평가한다. 자기수렴 특성을 갖는 ISO DATA 알고리즘을 응용하여 HSV칼라화상의 영역을 분할하고, 과분할된 영역을 통합하는 방법을 제안하였다. 두 종류의 입력화상에 대한 클러스터링을, 색차를 기본으로 한 임계값에 따라 수행하므로써 화상내용의 복잡함에 대응하는 양호한 영역분할 결과를 제시하였다.

This paper presents a method for hand segmentation using depth information, and adaptive threshold by means of histogram analysis and color clustering in HSV color model. We consider hand area as a nearer object to the camera than background on depth information. And the threshold of hand color is adaptively determined by clustering using the matching of color values on the input image with one of the regions of hue histogram. Experimental results demonstrate 95% accuracy rate. Thus, we confirmed that the proposed method is effective for hand segmentation in variations of hand color, scale, rotation, pose, different lightning conditions and any colored background.

In this paper a new fuzzy clustering approach to the color clustering problem has been proposed. To deal with the limitations of the traditional FCM algorithm, we propose a spatial homogeneity-based FCM algorithm. Moreover, the cluster validity index is employed to automatically determine the number of clusters for a given image. We refer to this method as VS-FCM algorithm. The effectiveness of the proposed method is demonstrated through various clustering examples.

Many image display devices allow only a limited number of colors to be simultaneously displayed. In displaying of natural color image using color palette, it is necessary to construct an optimal color palette and map each pixel of the original image to a color palette with fast. In this paper, we proposed the clustering algorithm using local region block centered one color cluster in the prequantized 3-D histogram. Cluster pairs which have the least distortion error are merged by considering distortion measure. The clustering process is continued until to obtain the desired number of colors. Same as the clustering process, original color image is mapped to palette color via a local region block centering around prequantized original color value. The proposed algorithm incorporated with a spatial activity weighting value which is smoothing region. The method produces high quality display images and considerably reduces computation time.

In this paper, we proposed the clustering algorithm using local region block centered one color cluster in the prequantized 3-D histogram. Cluster pairs which have the least distortion error are merged by considering distortion measure. The clustering process is continued until to obtain the desired number of colors. The same as the clustering process, original color value. The proposed algorithm incroporated with a spatial activity weighting value which is reflected sensitivity of HVS quantization errors in smoothing region. This method produces high quality display images and considerably reduces computation time.
