Abstract

This paper is proposed the wavelet morphology algorithm with the spatial auto-object segmentation concept and the clustering concept. When it is segmented the color face by using the proposed algorithm, it is made to the simple image. Also, it is used the spatial quality in order to segment and detect the image as a real time without the user's manufacturing. This removed a small part that is regarded as a noise in image by HSV color model and applied the wavelet morphology to remove a part excepting for the face image. In this paper, it is made a comparison between the wavelet morphology algorithm and the morphology algorithm. And It is showed to accurately detect the face object parts in the image appled to HSV color space model.

본 논문은 공간적 자동 객체 분할의 개념과 클러스터링 개념을 가진 웨이브렛 형태학 알고리즘을 제안하였다. 제안된 알고리즘을 이용하여 컬러 얼굴을 분할할 때 영상을 단순화하였으며, 또한 사용자의 조작 없이 실시간적으로 분할해 검출할 수 있도록 공간적 특성을 이용하였다. 이것은 HSV 컬러 모델을 이용하여 영상에서 잡음으로 간주되는 작은 부분을 제거하고, 얼굴영상 이외의 부분을 제거하기 위해 웨이브렛 형태학을 적용하였다. 본 논문은 웨이브렛 형태학 알고리즘과 형태학 알고리즘을 비교하였으며, 그리고 HSV 컬러 공간 모델을 적용한 영상에서 얼굴 객체 부분을 정확하게 검출함을 보였다.
