Abstract

Shadows are common phenomena observed in natural scenes and often bring a major problem that is affected negatively in colour image analysis. It is important to detect the shadow areas and should be considered in the pre-processing of computer vision. In this paper, the method of shadow detection is proposed using cross entropy and intensity image, and is performed in single image based on the satellite images. After converting the color image to a gray level image, the shadow candidate region has been estimated the optimal threshold value by cross entropy, and then the final shadow region has been detected using intensity image. For the validity of the proposed method, the satellite images is used to experiment. Some experiments are conducted so as to verify the proposed method, and as a result, shadow detection is well performed.

그림자는 자연 영상에서 관찰되는 물리적인 현상이지만 위성 영상 분석에 부정적인 영향을 미치는 요소로 컴퓨터 비전의 전처리 과정에서 그림자 검출 과정은 매우 중요하다. 본 논문에서는 싱글 영상 기반의 위성 영상에서 효과적인 영상 분석을 위해 그림자를 검출하는 방법으로 크로스 엔트로피와 밝기 영상을 이용해 그림자를 검출하는 방법을 제안하였다. 칼라 영상을 그레이 레벨 영상으로 변환한 후 크로스 엔트로피를 기반으로 최적의 임계값을 추정하여 첫 번째 그림자 후보 영역으로 판별하였고, 칼라 영상의 밝기 영상을 이용해 최종 그림자 영역을 검출하였다. 제안하는 방법의 타당성을 위해 위성 영상들을 대상으로 실험하였고, 실험 결과 제안하는 그림자를 검출 방법이 효과적으로 수행됨을 확인하였다.
