From the 90's, the image information retrieval methods have been on progress. As good examples of the methods, Conventional histogram method and merged-color histogram method were introduced. They could get good result in image retrieval. However, Conventional histogram method has disadvantages if the histogram is shifted as a result of intensity change. Merged-color histogram, also, causes more process so, it needs more time to retrieve images. In this paper, we propose an improved new method using Adaptive Color Histogram Bin Matching(AHB) in image retrieval. The proposed method has been tested and verified through a number of simulations using hundreds of images in a database. The simulation results have Quickly yielded the highly accurate candidate images in comparison to other retrieval methods. We show that AHB's can give superior results to color histograms for image retrieval.

Radiometric normalization with multi-temporal satellite images is essential for time series analysis and change detection. Generally, relative radiometric normalization, which is an image-based method, is performed, and histogram matching is a representative method for normalizing the non-linear properties. However, since it utilizes global statistical information only, local information is not considered at all. Thus, this paper proposes a histogram matching method considering local information. The proposed method divides histograms based on density, mean, and standard deviation of image intensities, and performs histogram matching locally on the sub-histogram. The matched histogram is then further partitioned and this process is performed again, iteratively, controlled with the wasserstein distance. Finally, the proposed method is compared to global histogram matching. The experimental results show that the proposed method is visually and quantitatively superior to the conventional method, which indicates the applicability of the proposed method to the radiometric normalization of multi-temporal images with non-linear properties.

본 논문은 영상의 주요한 색채들을 기반으로 하는 histogram-based 영상 검색을 위한 변형된 히스토그램 방법(SHM)을 제안한다. 히스토그램을 기초로 하는 방법은 이행이나 로테이션과 같은 이미지의 기하학적 변화에 영향을 받지 않기 때문에 컬러 영상 검색에 있어 매우 적합하다. 동일하고 비주얼한 정보를 지녔지만 컬러 강도가 변화된 영상의 경우, 전통적인 히스토그램 인터섹션(HIM)을 이용할 경우에는 현저히 성능이 떨어질 수도 있다. 이 문제를 해결하기 위해 변형된 히스토그램 방법(SHM)을 사용하였다. 실험 결과 변형된 히스토그램 방법(SHM)은 기존의 히스토그램 방식에 비해 더 높은 영상 검색 성능을 보였다.

In this study, we propose a method which is based on "Image segmentation by histogram thresholding using hierarchical cluster analysis"/HCA/ and "A nonparametric approach for histogram segmentation"/NHS/. HCA method uses that all histogram bins are one cluster then it reduces cluster numbers by using distance metric. Because this method has too many clusters, it is more computation. In order to eliminate disadvantages of "HCA" method, we used "NHS" method. NHS method finds all local minima of histogram. To reduce cluster number, we use NHS method which is fast. In our approach, we combine those two methods to eliminate disadvantages of Arifin method. The proposed method is not only less computational than "HCA" method because combined method has few clusters but also it uses local minima of histogram which is computed by "NHS".

히스토그램은 컬러공간의 특징 때문에 조명에 매우 민감하며, 이동된 빛의 강도를 가지고 있을때 유사성을 떨어뜨릴 가능성이 커지기 때문에, 본 논문에서는 히스토그램의 영역을 몇 개의 영역으로, 나눠, 그 영역들을 계산하는 HAC(Histogram Area Calculation)라 불리는 새로운 검색 방법을 소개한다. 제안한 방식은 현재 히스토그램이 가지고 있는 특성에 기반하여 히스토그램의 영역을 계산하고, 유사성을 매칭시킴으로써 명암도 변화에 대해서, 기존의 다른 전통적인 히스토그램 방법이나, 병합된 히스토그램 방법보다 제안한 방식의 성능이 훨씬 뛰어나다는 것을 보여준다.

The paper presents a histogram equalization method using the edge information of an image to be processed. The basic idea of this method is to carry out histogram equalization with edge information, which is important and essential for object conformation. In the proposed method, the edge information is used to generate histogram for the equalization process. It is found to be effective to suppress the histogram spikes that cause quantum jumps in mapping function for the equalization process. The proposed method is tested for randomly selected 30 images and compared to conventional approaches with a quantitative measure to check it preserves the structural similarity. Experimental results show that the proposed method has better performance and no artifacts caused by histogram spikes.

본 논문에서는 이전 연구 방법에서의 UV-histogram을 확장하여 적응적 UV-histogram을 제시함으로써, 복잡한 구성의 장면에서 사람의 검출율을 높이는 방법을 제시한다. 제안 방법은 먼저 U-histogram에서 사람 영역을 1차 추출하고, 각각의 레이블링된 U에서 V-histogram을 생성함으로써, 이전 방법에서 구분할 수 없었던 사람 후보 영역을 정확하게 추출한다. 또한 제안 방법은 사람 판정시, 초점거리와 거리에 따라 적응적인 크기를 가지는 오메가 모양의 템플릿을 이용하여 검출의 정확도를 높였으며, 누적 영상을 이용하여 오검출을 템플릿 재매칭 함으로써, occlusion에도 강인한 특성을 가진다. 실험 결과는 Bae의 연구방법에 비하여 복잡한 환경에서 약 15%의 정확도 향상, 80%의 재현율 향상을 보이며, Xia의 연구방법에 비하여 20배 빠른 수행속도를 보여, 제안 방법의 성능이 우수함을 입증한다.

Here, we present a new framework for histogram equalization in which both local and global contrasts are enhanced using neighborhood metrics. When checking neighborhood information, filters can simultaneously improve image quality. Filters are chosen depending on image properties, such as noise removal and smoothing. Our experimental results confirmed that this does not increase the computational cost because the filtering process is done by our proposed arrangement of making the histogram while checking neighborhood metrics simultaneously. If the two methods, i.e., histogram equalization and filtering, are performed sequentially, the first method uses the original image data and next method uses the data altered by the first. With combined histogram equalization and filtering, the original data can be used for both methods. The proposed method is fully automated and any spatial neighborhood filter type and size can be used. Our experiments confirmed that the proposed method is more effective than other similar techniques reported previously.

In this paper, we propose an adaptive contrast enhancement method using dynamic range segmentation. Histogram Equalization (HE) method is widely used for contrast enhancement. However, histogram equalization method is not suitable for commercial display because it may cause undesirable artifacts due to the significant change in brightness. The proposed algorithm segments the dynamic range of the histogram and redistributes the pixel intensities by the segment area ratio. The proposed method may cause over compressed effect when intensity distribution of an original image is concentrated in specific narrow region. In order to overcome this problem, we introduce an adaptive scale factor. The experimental results show that the proposed algorithm suppresses the significant change in brightness and provides wide histogram distribution compared with histogram equalization.
