In this paper, we propose a pupil detection method using hybrid projection function and rank order filter. To reduce error to detect eyebrows as pupil, eyebrows are detected using hybrid projection function in face region and eye region is set to not include the eyebrows. In the eye region, potential pupil candidates are detected using rank order filter and then the positions of pupil candidates are corrected. The pupil candidates are grouped into pairs based on geometric constraints. A similarity measure is obtained for two eye of each pair using template matching, we select a pair with the smallest similarity measure as final two pupils. The experiments have been performed for 700 images of the BioID face database. The pupil detection rate is 92.4% and the proposed method improves about 21.5% over the existing method..

This paper proposes a convex hull algorithm for 2D patterns. The proposed algorithm is divided ito 2steps; candidate convex point extraction and final convex point extraction. First step removes as many points as possible that cannot be convex points using simple operation. Second step computes final convex hull of 2D patterns. This method accelerates execution time, since it consists of simple operations. Experimental results show that the proposed method is faster than other 2 methods in speed.

In this paper, real-time detection methods for Panorama system Key-Points offers. A recent study in PANORAMA system real-time area navigation or DVR to apply such research has recently been actively. The detection of the Key-Point is the most important elements that make up a Panorama system. Not affected by contrast, scale, Orientation must be detected Key-Point. Existing research methods are difficult to use in real-time Because it takes a lot of computation time. Therefore, this paper propose BLOG(BitRate Laplacian Of Gaussian)method for faster time Key-Point Detecting and Through various experiments to detect the Speed, Computation, detection performance is compared against.

In this paper, we propose a motion estimation method that is important in performance of video encoding. Conventional motion estimation methods have serious problems of low prediction quality and problems of much computation increase. In the paper, we propose a method that reduces unnecessary computations only using optimal candidate points, while keeping prediction quality almost similar to that of the full search. The proposed method takes only 3~5% in computational amount and has decreased prediction quality about 0~0.01dB compared with the fast full search algorithm.

Object color can be determined by the characteristic of scene illuminant and surface. In this paper, perceived illumination effect is extended and with the highlight analysis, hybrid approach is proposed to estimate the illuminant chromaticity. The perceived illumination approach provides a stable candidate range for the estimation of illuminant chromaticity, however, the accuracy is slightly degraded depending on the image contents. The highlight approach does not depend on the image contents and provides an accurate solution of the scene illuminant chromaticity, however, it is difficult to determine the final solution among many cross-points. These two approaches are in effect mutually compensating. The solution from perceived illumination can be used as a starting point or as base information for the highlight approach to get the final solution.

Korea has developed coastal farming industry due to the environmental characteristics that its three sides are surrounded by sea. The damage of coastal farming industry caused by Asterias Amurensis with very strong reproductive rate and predaciousness has increased sharply every year. Moreover, Asterias Amurensis preys on living fish and shellfish and so the damage of fishermen is vern greater. In this paper, a method is proposed to extract effectively the features from the image of Asterias Amurensis acquired in the water. Because the proposed method extracts convex features using 6-directional scanning, it selects a fewer number of feature candidates than the conventional one. In addition, after selecting candidate concave points using the extracted convex features and centers of region, the final concave features are extracted. Due to the features of the starfish which lives in groups, individuals of the starfish in the input image are concentrated. Thus, it is significant to minimize the number of feature candidates extracted from the input image. The experimental results indicate an improvement of the proposed feature extraction method over the conventional one as evidenced by the fact that the feature extract was 88 % of the feature candidates.

This paper proposes methods to extract face elements and facial characteristics points for face recognition. We select a candidate region of the face elements with geometrical information between them inside the extracted face region with skin color and extract them using their inherent features. The facial characteristics to be applied to face recognition is expressed with geometrical relation such as distance and angle between the extracted face elements. Experiment results shows good performance to extract of face elements.
