In this paper, we propose the feature points extraction method of hand region using vision. To do this, first, we find the HCbCr color model by using HSI and YCbCr color model. Second, we extract the hand region by using the HCbCr color model and the fuzzy color filter. Third, we extract the exact hand region by applying labeling algorithm to extracted hand region. Fourth, after finding the center of gravity of extracted hand region, we obtain the first feature points by using Canny edge, chain code, and DP method. And then, we obtain the feature points of hand region by applying the convex hull method to the extracted first feature points. Finally, we demonstrate the effectiveness and feasibility of the proposed method through some experiments.

In this paper, a new type of color coordinate conversion is proposed as modified CIEXYZ from RGB to compress the color gamut. The proposed segmentation includes principal component analysis for the optimal projection of a feature vector into a one-dimensional feature. The final step adopted for lip segmentation is Otsu's threshold for a two-class problem. The performance of the proposed method was better than that of conventional methods, especially for the chromatic feature.

The most popular technique for image retrieval in a heterogeneous collection of color images is the comparison of images based on their color histogram. The color histogram describes the distribution of colors in the color space of a color image. In the most image retrieval systems, the color histogram is used to compute similarities between the query image and all the images in a database. But, small changes in the resolution, scaling, and illumination may cause important modifications of the color histogram, and so two color images may be considered to be very different from each other even though they have completely related semantics. A new method of color feature representation based on the 3-dimensional RGB color map is proposed to improve the defects of the color histogram. The proposed method is based on the three 2-dimensional projection map evaluated by projecting the RGB color space on the RG, GB, and BR surfaces. The experimental results reveal that the proposed is less sensitive to small changes in the scene and that achieve higher retrieval performances than the traditional color histogram.

Color histograms have been used as feature vectors to characterize the color features of given images, but they have a limitation in efficiency by generating high-dimensional feature vectors. In this paper, we present a method to reduce the dimension of the feature vectors by applying PCA (principal components analysis) to the color histogram of a given vehicle image. With SVM (support vector machine) method, the dimension-reduced feature vectors are used to recognize the colors of vehicles. After reducing the dimension of the feature vector by a factor of 32, the successful recognition rate is reduced only 1.42% compared to the case when we use original feature vectors. Moreover, the computation time for the color recognition is reduced by a factor of 31, so we could recognize the colors efficiently.

Recently, there has been studied on feature extraction method for efficient content-based image retrieval. Especially, Many researchers have been studying on extracting feature from color Information, because of its advantages. This paper proposes a feature and its extraction method based on color correlogram that is extracted from color information in an image. the proposed method is computed from the image segmented into two parts; the complex part and the plain part. Our experiments show that the performance of the proposed method is better as compared with that of the original color correlogram method.

Face detection and recognition in real-time video constitutes one of the recent topics in the field of computer vision. In this paper, we propose face detection and tracking algorithm using the skin color and haar-like feature in real-time video sequence. The proposed algorithm further includes color space to enhance the result using haar-like feature and skin color. Experiment results reveal the real-time video processing speed and improvement in the rate of tracking.

In this Paper, we propose the neural network based emotion recognition method for intelligently recognizing the human's emotion using CCD color image. To do this, we first acquire the color image from the CCD camera, and then propose the method for recognizing the expression to be represented the structural correlation of man's feature Points(eyebrows, eye, nose, mouse) It is central technology that the Process of extract, separate and recognize correct data in the image. for representation is expressed by structural corelation of human's feature Points In the Proposed method, human's emotion is divided into four emotion (surprise, anger, happiness, sadness). Had separated complexion area using color-difference of color space by method that have separated background and human's face toughly to change such as external illumination in this paper. For this, we propose an algorithm to extract four feature Points from the face image acquired by the color CCD camera and find normalization face picture and some feature vectors from those. And then we apply back-prapagation algorithm to the secondary feature vector. Finally, we show the Practical application possibility of the proposed method.

This paper presents an efficient and automatic color and motion feature extraction algorithm for content-based MPEG-l video retrieval. Based on the proposed method. a video retrieval system is implemented. For color feature. the proposed algorithm considers dynamic color iRformation in video data, and thereby can overcome the limits of the previous key-frame based method. For motion feature, we utilize the motion vector in MPEG-l video with color information. and extract the color-motion feature. The proposed algorithm can solve the weakness of the previous location based motion feature method. Finally. the proposed method is evaluated within the implemented video retrieval system.

In this paper we propose an efficient content-based image retrieval method using the color and wavelet based features. The color features are extracted from color histograms of the global image and the wavelet based features are extracted from the invariant moments of the high-pass band image through the spatial-frequency analysis of the wavelet transform. The proposed algorithm, called color and wavelet features based query(CWBQ), is composed of two-step query operations for efficient image retrieval: the coarse level filtering operation and the fine level matching operation. In the first filtering operation, the color histogram feature is used to filter out the dissimilar images quickly from a large image database. The second matching operation applies the wavelet based feature to the retained set of images to retrieve all relevant images successfully. The experimental results show that the proposed algorithm yields more improved retrieval accuracy with computationally efficiency than the previous methods.
