본 연구는 컬러항공사진을 이용하여 컬러영상, 그레이영상 그리고 각 밴드별(RGB) 수치고도모형(DEM)을 생성하여 정확도를 평가하기 위한 것이다. 항공 영상지도의 경우 불과 4-5년 전까지만 해도 흑백항공사진 필름을 이용해 왔으나 최근 들어 판독을 더욱 용이하게 하기 위하여 컬러항공사진을 많이 이용하고 있다. 품질이 높은 정사영상제작을 위해서는 정확한 수치고도모형이 필요하다. 수치고도모형을 생성하기 위한 대표적인 방법으로 수치지도를 이용하는 방법과 영상정합기법을 이용하여 수치고도모형을 생성할 수 있다. 영상정합기법에 의한 수치고도모형 생성 방법은 흑백항공사진에서와는 달리 컬러항공사진은 항공사진 전용 스캐너에서 3개의 밴드(RGB)로 스캔된 영상을 사용한다. 본 연구에서는 수치고도모형의 정확도를 분석하기 위하여 모두 5가지 영상(컬러영상, 그레이영상, Red 영상, Green 영상, Blue 영상)을 획득하였으며 각 밴드별 수치고도모형을 생성하여 수치지도에서 추출된 표고점 자료와의 평균제곱근오차(RMSE) 값을 비교하였다. 본 연구에서는 Red 영상을 이용하는 경우 가장 정확한 수치고도모형을 얻을 수 있었음을 실험을 통해 검증하였다.

In this study, Digital Elevation Models (DEMs) were constructed from color images, grayscale images and each bands (Red, Green, Blue) of color image, and the accuracies of each DEMs were evaluated, And then, correlation coefficients between left and right images of each stereopairs were analyzed. The DEM can be constructed conventionally from the digital map and stereopair images using image matching. The image matching requires stereo satellite images or aerial photographs. In case of rotor aerial photographs, these are to be scanned in 3 bands (Red, Green, Blue). For this study, 5 types of images were acquired; color, grayscale, RED band, GREEN band, and BLUE band image. DEMs were constructed from 5 types of stereopair images and evaluated using elevation points of digital maps. In order to analyze the cause of various accuracies of each DEMs, the similarity between left and right images of each stereopairs were analyzed. Consequently, the accuracy of the DEM constructed from RED band images of color aerial photograph were proved best.

We proposed an enhanced extraction method of vehicle plate, in which both the brightness variation of gray and the Hue value of HSI color model were used. For the extraction of the vehicle plate from a vehicle image, first of all, candidate regions for the vehicle plate were extracted from the image by using the property of brightness variation of the image. A real place region was determined among candidate regions by the density of pixels with the Hue value of green and white. For- extracting the feature area containing characters from the extracted vehicle plate, we used the histogram-based approach of individual characters. And we proposed and applied for the recognition of characters the enhanced ART2 algorithm which support the dynamical establishment of the vigilance threshold with the genera]iced union operator of Yager. In addition, we propose an enhanced SOSL algorithm which is integrated both enhanced ART2 and supervised learning methods. The performance evaluation was performed using 100's real vehicle images and the evaluation results demonstrated that the extraction rates of tole proposed extraction method were improved, compared with that of previous methods based un brightness variation, RGB and HSI individually . Furthermore, the recognition rates of the proposed algorithms were improved much more than that of the conventional ART2 and BP algorithms.

This paper presented an effective strategy to extract the buildings and to reconstruct 3-D buildings using high-resolution multispectral stereo satellite images. Proposed scheme contained three major steps: building enhancement and segmentation using both BDT (Background Discriminant Transformation) and ISODATA algorithm, conjugate building identification using the object matching with Hausdorff distance and color indexing, and 3-D building reconstruction using photogrammetric techniques. IKONOS multispectral stereo images were used to evaluate the scheme. As a result, the BDT technique was verified as an effective tool for enhancing building areas since BDT suppressed the dominance of background to enhance the building as a non-background. In building recognition, color information itself was not enough to identify the conjugate building pairs since most buildings are composed of similar materials such as concrete. When both Hausdorff distance for edge information and color indexing for color information were combined, most segmented buildings in the stereo images were correctly identified. Finally, 3-D building models were successfully generated using the space intersection by the forward RFM (Rational Function Model).

Tuberculosis (TB) is a chronic or acute infectious disease which damages more people than any other infectious diseases according to WHO estimates. In this paper, a new automatic detection system of tuberculosis bacilli by using their color information is proposed. Through the deep investigation of color and intensity compositions of tuberculosis images, new pre-processing and segmentation algorithms are suggested. Specific features of bacilli are extracted from the processed images and number counting is done by using domain-specific knowledge rules.

The affective words on photographic images were analyzed and a model was structured. Based on this model, the effects of color on the affections were studied. In study 1, the photographic images with various materials and techniques were presented and the affective responses are collected. The factor analysis using principal axing method showed that the variance of the affective words could be explained about 42％ by the three factors. These are named positive-negative, dynamic-static, light-heavy, respectively. In study 2, the effects of color on the affections were evaluated on three basic dimensions. Ninety representative color images were converged black-and-white images, and each of 180 images was rated on the three affective scales. The t-test showed that the effects of color are statistically significant on the three affective scales, respectively. The achromatic images were felt more negative, more static, and heavier than chromatic images.

In this paper, we proposed a new car license plate recognition method using an unsupervised ART2 algorithm with HSI color model. The proposed method consists of two main modules; extracting plate area from a vehicle image and recognizing the characters in the plate after that. To extract plate area, hue(H) component of HSI color model is used, and the sub-area containing characters is acquired using modified fuzzy binarization method. Each character is further divided by a 4-directional edge tracking algorithm. To recognize the separated characters, noise-robust ART2 algorithm is employed. When the proposed algorithm is applied to recognize license plate characters, the extraction rate is better than that of existing RGB model and the overall recognition rate is about 97.4%.

We presented a very fast and robust method of text line segmentation based on the DCT blocks of color image without decompression and binary transformation processes. Using DC and another three primary AC coefficients from block DCT we created a gray-scale image having reduced size by 8x8. In order to detect and locate white strips between text lines we analyzed horizontal and vertical projection profiles of the image and we applied a direct markov model to recover the missing white strips by estimating hidden periodicity. We presented performance results. The results showed that our method was 40 - 100 times faster than traditional method.
