Skin-color information is not sufficient for palmprint segmentation in complex scenes, including mobile environments. Traditional active shape model (ASM) combines gray information and shape information, but its performance is not good in complex scenes. An improved ASM method is developed for palmprint segmentation, in which Perux method normalizes the shape of the palm. Then the shape model of the palm is calculated with principal component analysis. Finally, the color likelihood degree is used to replace the gray information for target fitting. The improved ASM method reduces the complexity, while improves the accuracy and robustness.

In this study, we propose a new Fire Flame Region Extraction using Block Homogeneity Segmentation method of the Fire Image with irregular texture and various colors. It is generally assumed that fire flame extraction plays a very important role. The Color Image with fire flame is divided into blocks and edge strength for each block is computed by using modified color histogram intersection method that has been developed to differentiate object boundaries from irregular texture boundaries effectively. The block homogeneity is designed to have the higher value in the center of region with the homeogenous colors or texture while to have lower value near region boundaries. The image represented by the block homogeneity is gray scale image and watershed transformation technique is used to generate closed boundary for each region. As the watershed transform generally results in over-segmentation, region merging based on common boundary strength is followed. The proposed method can be applied quickly and effectively to the initial response of fire.

칼라 화소 성분들은 인쇄에서부터 획득하기까지의 전 과정에 거쳐 심하게 왜곡되기 때문에, 획득된 영상에서 정확한 칼라 정보를 필요로 하는 칼라 코트 식별 작업은 매우 어렵다. 정확한 칼라 식별을 달성하기 위해서는 서로 다른 칼라 영역들을 정화하게 분리해냄으로써 어떤 칼라 영역의 부분이 아닌 전체 화소들에 대한 통계적 처리를 가능하게 하는 영역 분할 기술이 필요하다. 칼라 영역 분한은 성분 영상(들)에 대한 경계선 검출을 수행하여 달성할 수 있다. 이 논문에서는 RGB, HSI, YIQ의 세 칼라 모델로부터의 성분 영상들에 대해 독립적으로 경계선을 검출하고, 결합에 의해 가장 완전한 경계선 영상을 제공하는 한쌍의 성분을 찾아내기 위한 수학적 분석과 실험을 수행하였다. 실험 결과, Y-와 R-성분 경계선 영상들을 결합했을 때 가장 좋은 결과를 얻을 수 있었다.

This paper proposes two measurement methods for injured rate of fish surface using color image segmentation method based on K-means clustering algorithm and Otsu's threshold algorithm. To do this task, the following steps are done. Firstly, an RGB color image of the fish is obtained by the CCD color camera and then converted from RGB to HSI. Secondly, the S channel is extracted from HSI color space. Thirdly, by applying the K-means clustering algorithm to the HSI color space and applying the Otsu's threshold algorithm to the S channel of HSI color space, the binary images are obtained. Fourthly, morphological processes such as dilation and erosion, etc. are applied to the binary image. Fifthly, to count the number of pixels, the connected-component labeling is adopted and the defined injured rate is gotten by calculating the pixels on the labeled images. Finally, to compare the performances of the proposed two measurement methods based on the K-means clustering algorithm and the Otsu's threshold algorithm, the edge detection of the final binary image after morphological processing is done and matched with the gray image of the original RGB image obtained by CCD camera. The results show that the detected edge of injured part by the K-means clustering algorithm is more close to real injured edge than that by the Otsu' threshold algorithm.

In this study, we introduce a new image gradient computation based on understanding of image generation. Most images consist of groups of pixels with similar color information because the images are generally obtained by taking a picture of the real world. The general gradient operator for an image compares only the neighboring pixels and cannot obtain information about a wide area, and there is a risk of falling into a local minimum problem. Therefore, it is necessary to attempt to introduce the gradient operator of the interval concept. We present a bow-tie gradient by color values of pixels on bow-tie region of a given pixel. To confirm the superiority of our study, we applied our bow-tie gradient to image segmentation algorithms for various images.

In this paper, we propose the color fuzzy decision algorithm to face segmentation in a color image. Our algorithm can segment without the user's interaction by fuzzy decision marking. And it removes small parts such as a noise using wavelet morphology in the image obtained by applying the fuzzy decision algorithm. Also, it merges and chooses the face region in each quantization image through rough sets. This video object division algorithm is shown to be superior to a conventional algorithm.

In this paper we present a color image segmentation algorithm based on statistical models. A novel deterministic annealing Expectation Maximization(EM) formula is derived to estimate the parameters of the Gaussian Mixture Model(GMM) which represents the multi-colored objects statistically. The experimental results show that the proposed deterministic annealing EM is a global optimal solution for the ML parameter estimation and the image field is segmented efficiently by using the parameter estimates.

In this paper, video image segmentation algorithm based on color histogram and change detector is proposed. Color histograms are calculated from both changed region which is detected in the previous and current frame and unchanged region. With each histogram, modes and valleys are detected. Then, color vectors are calculated by averaging pixels in modes. Markers are extracted by labeling color vectors that represent modes, the watershed algorithm is applied to determine uncertain region. In growing region, the root mean square(RMS) of the distance between average pixel in marker region and adjacent pixel is used as a measure. The proposed algorithm based on color histogram and change detector segments video image fastly and effectively. And simulation results show that the proposed method determines the exact boundary between background and foreground.

영상 정보의 이용이 증가함에 따라 영상을 효율적으로 관리할 수 있는 시스템의 필요성이 증가하고 있다. 이에 따라, 본 논문에서는 영상 분할 알고리즘, 색상 특성, 질감, 그리고 영상의 형태와 위치 정보의 효율적인 결합에 근거한 영역기반 내용 검색 알고리즘을 제안한다. 색상 특징으로는 색상의 공간적인 상관관계를 잘 나타내는 HSI 색상 히스토그램을 선택하였고, 영상의 분할과 질감특성은 각각 Active control와 CWT(Complex wavelet transform)를 사용하였다. 그리고 형태와 위치 특징들은 HSI의 휘도 성분에서 불변 모멘트를 이용하여 추출하였다. 효율적인 유사도 측정을 위해 추출된 특징(색상 히스토그램, Hu 불변 모멘트, CWT)을 결합하여 정확도와 재현율을 측정하였다. www. freefoto.com에서 제공하는 DB를 사용하여 실험한 결과, 제안된 검색엔진은 94.8%의 정확도와 82.7%의 재현율을 가지며 성공적으로 영상 검색 시스템에 응용할 수 있다.
