There are various algorithms evaluating a threshold for image segmentation. Among them, Otsu's algorithm sets a threshold based on the histogram. It finds the between-class variance for all over gray levels and then sets the largest one as Otsu's optimal threshold, so we can see that Otsu's algorithm requires a lot of the computation. In this paper, we improved the amount of computational needs by using estimated Otsu's threshold rather than computing for all the threshold candidates. The proposed algorithm is compared with the original one in computation amount and accuracy. we confirm that the proposed algorithm is about 29 times faster than conventional method on single processor and about 4 times faster than on parallel processing architecture machine.

This paper proposes a building recognition algorithm using watershed image segmentation algorithm and integrated region matching (IRM). To recognize a building, a preprocessing algorithm which is using Gaussian filter to remove noise and using canny edge extraction algorithm to extract edges is applied to input building image. First, images are segmented by watershed algorithm. Next, a region adjacency graph (RAG) based on the information of segmented regions is created. And then similar and small regions are merged. Second, a color distribution feature of each region is extracted. Finally, similar building images are obtained and ranked. The building recognition algorithm was evaluated by experiment. It is verified that the result from the proposed method is superior to color histogram matching based results.

This work deals with automatic motion detection for with surveillance tracking that aims to provide high-lighting movable objects which is discriminated from moving backgrounds such as moving trees, etc. For this aim, we perform a false background region detection together with an initial foreground detection. The false background detection detects the moving backgrounds, which become eliminated from the initial foreground detection. This false background detection is done by performing the bimodal segmentation on a deformed image, which is constructed using the information of the dominant colors in the background.

Obtained disparity map from the stereo camera by using the several stereo matching algorithms carries lots of noise because of various causes. In our approach, mode filtering and noise elimination technique using the histogram and projection-based region merging methods are adopted for improving the quality of disparity map and image segmentation. The proposed algorithms are implemented in VHDL and the real-time experimentation shows the accurately divided objects.

In this paper, we propose a segmentation algorithm that can reliably separate moving objects from noisy background in the image sequance received from a camera at the fixed position. The proposed algorithm consists of three processes:generation of the difference image between the input image and the reference image, multilevel quantization of the difference image, and multistagemerging in the quantized image. The quantization process requantizes the difference image based on the multiple threshold values determined bythe histogram analysis. The merging starts from the seed region which created by using the highest threshold value and ends when termination conditions are met. the proposed method has been tested with various real imge sequances containing intruders. The test results show that the proposed algorithm can detect moving objects like intruders very effectively in the noisy environment.

This article is concerned with automatic segmentation of two adjacent vowels for speech signals. All kinds of transition case of adjacent vowels can be characterized by spectrogram. Firstly the voiced-speech is extracted by the histogram analysis of vowel indicator which consists of wavelet low pass components. Secondly given phonetic transcription and transition pattern spectrogram, the voiced-speech portion which has consecutive vowels automatically segmented by the template matching. The cross-correlation function is adapted as a template matching method and the modified correlation coefficient is calculated for all frames. The largest value on the modified correlation coefficient series indicates the boundary of two consecutive vowel sounds. The experiment is performed for 154 vowel transition sets. The 154 spectrogram templates are gathered from 154 words(PRW Speech DB) and the 161 test words(PBW Speech DB) which are uttered by 5 speakers were tested. The experimental result shows the validity of the method.

기존에 얼굴인식이나 얼굴영역을 추출하는 방법들은 대부분 얼굴의 외곽선은 고려하지 않은 상태에서 얼굴의 특징인 눈, 코, 입 부분만을 추출하는 경우가 많아 정확한 얼굴을 추출하기가 어려웠다. 본 논문에서는 얼굴의 색상과 영역분할 기법(Region Segmentation technique)을 함께 사용해서 얼굴부분과 얼굴의 특징을 추출하여 보다 정확한 얼굴 부분을 분할하고자 한다. 얼굴추출방법을 대표색상 추출과정과 실제 영역을 분할하여 얼굴부분을 추출하는 과정으로 나누어 히스토그램을 이용하여 대표색상을 추출한 후, 영역분할 기법을 이용하여 대표색상을 포함하고 있는 영역에 대해 얼굴이라는 가정을 배제하고, 이미지들을 객체(Object)화 하여 조건에 맞지 않는 객체들을 모두 제거함으로써, 정확한 얼굴부분을 분할해 낸다.

This paper proposes an image detection algorithm to implement gesture. By using a camera sensor, the performance of the extracted image algorithm based on the gesture pattern was verified through experiments. In addition, through the experiments, we confirmed the proposed method's possibility of the implementation. For efficient image detection, we applied a segmentation technique based on image transition which divides into small units. To improve gesture recognition, the proposed method not only has high recognition rate and low false acceptance rate in real gesture environment, but also designed an algorithm that efficiently finds optimal thresholds that can be applied.

This study proposes an improved binarization method to improve image recognition rate. The research goal is to minimize the information loss that occurs during the binarization process, and to transform the object of the original image that cannot be determined through the transformation process into an image that can be judged. The proposed method uses a stepwise segmentation method of an image and divides blocks using prime numbers. Also, within one block, a trapezoidal type of fuzzy is applied. The fuzzy trapezoid is binarized by dividing the brightness histogram area into three parts according to the degree of membership. As a result of the experiment, information loss was minimized in general images. In addition, it was found that the converted binarized image expressed the object better than the original image in the special image in which the brightness region was tilted to one side.

칼라이미지를 인식 및 분석을 하기 위해서는 이미지에 대한 영역분할이 우선적으로 먼저 이루어져야 되므로, 본 연구에서는 영역분할에 대한 두 개의 알고리즘을 구현하여 비교 분석하였다. 여러 가지 영역분할 방법 중에서 가장 쉽게 적용할 수 있고 또 가장 빠르게 영역을 분할 할 수 있는 Box classification 알고리즘을 이용하여 심근조직 표본의 현미경 영상이미지에 대해서 육안으로 선택한 영역과 histogram을 미분하여 최저 값에 문턱치를 정하여 줌으로써 선택한 영역에 대해 추출하고 이들 각각을 HLS 칼라모델에서 비교 분석하였다.
