본 논문에서는 내용기반 영상 분류를 위한 방법론으로써 신경망을 이용한 방법을 제안한다. 분류 대상 영상은 인터넷상의 다양한 영상들 중에서 전경과 배경의 구분이 있는 객체 영상이다. 전처리 과정에서 영역 분할을 이용하여 영상 내에서 배경을 제거하고 객체 영역을 추출한다. 분류를 위한 특징은 웨이블릿 변환 후 푸출된 형태 특징과 질감특징을 이용한다 추출된 특징 값들을 이용하여 영상들에 대한 학습패턴을 생성하고 신경망 분류기를 구성 한다. 신경망의 학습 알고리즘은 역전파 알고리즘을 사용한다. 가장 효과적인 질감특징을 선 택 하기 위한 실험에서는 대각 모멘트가 가장 높은 분류률을 보여 주었다. 배경을 제거 하고 대각 모멘트를 특징으로 사용하여 실험하였을 때, 30종류에서 각 10개씩 총 300개의 학습 데이터와300개의 테스트 데이터에 대하여 각각 72.3%와 67%의 정분류률을 보였다.

In this paper, a new texture feature extraction method for texture image classification is proposed. The proposed method is a modified texture spectrum method. It uses local weighting averaged texture unit, that is, the neighbor pixels are weithted and averaged in 4-direction and the calculated values are compared with center pixel to find texture units. The proposed method has only 81 texture units and these units are really good features for texture classification. The proposed method is applied to vegetable images and Blodatz album images and compared with several conventional methods for the feature extraction time and the recognition rate.

In this study, we propose the automatic extraction method of Rescue Requests from Drone Images. A central object is extracted from each image by using central object extraction method[7] before classification. A central object in an images are defined as a set of regions that is lined around center of the image and has significant texture distribution against its surrounding. In this case of artificial objects, edge of straight line is often found, and texture is regular and directive. However, natural object's case is not. Such characteristics are extracted using Edge direction histogram energy and texture Gabor energy. The Edge direction histogram energy calculated based on the direction of only non-circular edges. The texture Gabor energy is calculated based on the 24-dimension Gebor filter bank. Maximum and minimum energy along direction in Gabor filter dictionary is selected. Finally, the extracted rescue requestor object areas using the dominant features of the objects. Through experiments, we obtain accuracy of more than 75% for extraction method using each features.

Recently, there has been an increase in the number of hazardous events, such as fire accidents. Monitoring systems that rely on human resources depend on people; hence, the performance of the system can be degraded when human operators are fatigued or tensed. It is easy to use fire alarm boxes; however, these are frequently activated by external factors such as temperature and humidity. We propose an approach to fire detection using an image processing technique. In this paper, we propose a fire detection method using multichannel information and gray level co-occurrence matrix (GLCM) image features. Multi-channels consist of RGB, YCbCr, and HSV color spaces. The flame color and smoke texture information are used to detect the flames and smoke, respectively. The experimental results show that the proposed method performs better than the previous method in terms of accuracy of fire detection.

For effective mobility control of unmanned ground vehicles in outdoor off-road environments, terrain cover classification technology using passive sensors is vital. This paper presents a novel method far terrain classification based on color and texture information of off-road images. It uses a neural network classifier and wavelet features. We exploit the wavelet mean and energy features extracted from multi-channel wavelet transformed images and also utilize the terrain class spatial coordinates of images to include additional features. By comparing the classification performance according to applied features, the experimental results show that the proposed algorithm has a promising result and potential possibilities for autonomous navigation.

Objective image quality assessment (IQA) models have been developed by effective features to imitate the characteristics of human visual system (HVS). Actually, HVS is extremely sensitive to color degradation and complex texture changes. In this paper, we firstly reveal that many existing full reference image quality assessment (FR-IQA) methods can hardly measure the image quality with contrast and masking texture changes. To solve this problem, considering texture masking effect, we proposed a novel FR-IQA method, called Texture and Color Quality Index (TCQI). The proposed method considers both in the masking effect texture and color visual perceptual threshold, which adopts three kinds of features to reflect masking texture, color difference and structural information. Furthermore, random forest (RF) is used to address the drawbacks of existing pooling technologies. Compared with other traditional learning-based tools (support vector regression and neural network), RF can achieve the better prediction performance. Experiments conducted on five large-scale databases demonstrate that our approach is highly consistent with subjective perception, outperforms twelve the state-of-the-art IQA models in terms of prediction accuracy and keeps a moderate computational complexity. The cross database validation also validates our approach achieves the ability to maintain high robustness.

결핵은 환자를 미리 발견하여 치료함으로서, 질병의 전파를 차단하여 새로운 감염자가 발생을 최소화하고, 결핵을 조기에 예방 및 진단하는 것이 중요하다. 그러므로 현재 의학에서는 디지털 의료영상을 활용하여 질병진단의 보조 수단으로서 컴퓨터자동진단시스템이 응용되고 있다. 본 연구에서 주성분 분석(PCA)과 질감분석(Texture features)의 알고리즘을 이용하여 결핵의 질병을 자동으로 판별 및 인식하였으며, 그 기준에 따라 디지털 흉부 방사선영상에서 컴퓨터자동진단의 실용화를 위한 선행연구를 하였다. 실험결과는 주성분분석을 이용한 병변 인식률은 전문의의 질병에 대한 판독률보다 낮게 나타났지만, 질감분석의 인식률은 전문의 판독결과보다 높은 병변 인식률을 나타내었다. 그러므로 제안하는 알고리즘을 활용한 컴퓨터자동진단시스템은 임상의사에게 부가적인 보조 수단으로서 예비판독 단계의 정보를 제공하여 질병의 조기진단 및 예방이 가능할 것으로 사료된다.

The purpose of the study is to develop a synthetic method for generating arbitrary number of not the same but similar texture images. The method includes processes to extract basic shape elements from texture images originating in actual objects, to select them to reappear the image features and to arrange them in a image plane. The authors have already proposed the shape-pass type filter bank assuming that the sensual impression mainly depends on minute shapes existing in the texture images. By use of nine basic shape elements, namely black/white-roof, black/white-line, black/white-snake, black/white-pepper, and cliff, natural texture images originating in actual objects have been characterized by feature vectors in a nine dimensional space. To generate arbitrary number of similar texture images, minute shape pieces ...

In this paper, we first propose new texture features, BVLC (block variation of local correlation coefficients) moments, for content-based image retrieval (CBIR) and then present an image retrieval method based on the fusion of BDIP and BVLC moments. BDIP uses the local probabilities in image blocks to extract valley and edges well. BVLC uses the variations of local correlation coefficients in images blocks to measure texture smoothness well. In order not to be affected with the movement, rotation, and size of an object, the first and second moments of BDIP and BVLC are used for CBIR. Corel DB and Vistex DB are used to evaluate the performance of the proposed retrieval method. Experimental results show that the presented retrieval method yields average 12% better performance than the method using only BDIP or BVLC moments and average 13% better performance than the method using wavelet moments.

In this paper, we proposed an image retrieval system with a simple and effective relevance feedback, called RAP(Reward and Punishment) algorithm. First, color and texture features were extracted from the images. Next, the extracted feature values were used for image retrieval in various forms. We applied the relevance feedback to the initial retrieved images from the image retrieval system, and compared its result with that of the conventional system. In the experiment using the test image database of 16 class 512 images, the proposed system showed the better retrieval performance of about 10∼l7 % than that of the conventional INRIA system in each relevance feedback step.
