본 논문에서는 곡물이나 광석 등의 원료들 중에서 양품 및 불량품을 검출하기 위해, Color CCD 카메라로 촬영한 원료영상에서 Mean-Shift 클러스터링 알고리즘과 단계별 병합 방법을 제안하고 있다. 먼저 원료 학습 영상에서 배경을 제거하고 영상 색 분포정도를 기준으로 모폴로지를 이용하여 영상의 전경맵을 얻는다. 전경맵 영상에 대해서 Mean-Shift 군집화 알고리즘을 적용하여 영상을 N개의 군집으로 나누고, 단계별로 위치 근접성, 색상대푯값 유사성을 비교하여 비슷한 군집끼리 통합한다. 이렇게 통합된 원료 객체는 영상채널마다의 연관관계를 반영할 수 있도록 RG/GB/BR의 2차원 컬러분포도로 표현한다. 원료 객체별로 변환된 2차원 컬러 분포도에서 분포의 주성분의 기울기와 타원들을 생성한다. 객체별 분포 타원은 테스트 원료 영상데이터에서 양품과 불량품을 검출하는 임계값이 된다. 본 논문에서 제안한 방법으로 다양한 원료영상에 실험한 결과, 기존 선별방식에 비해 사용자의 인위적 조작이 적고 정확한 원료 선별 결과를 얻을 수 있었다.

When rendering both three-dimensional objects and photo images together, the non-photorealistic rendering results are in visual discord since the two contents have their own independent color distributions. This paper proposes a non-photorealistic rendering technique which renders both three-dimensional objects and photo images such as cartoons and sketches. The proposed technique computes the color distribution property of the photo images and reduces the number of colors of both photo images and 3D objects. NPR is performed based on the reduced colormaps and edge features. To enhance the natural scene presentation, the image region segmentation process is preferred when extracting and applying colormaps. However, the image segmentation technique needs a lot of computational operations. It takes a long time for non-photorealistic rendering for large size frames. To speed up the time-consuming segmentation procedure, we use GPGPU for the parallel computing using the GPU. As a result, we significantly improve the execution speed of the algorithm.

The stippling techniques, which represent objects with numerous points using pen and ink. The previous stippling techniques for Non-Photorsealistc Rendering(NPR) use single-colored points to represent the tone of gray image ur the material of surface. This paper presents a new stippling technique with various colored points based on the analysis of color information. By using the color information of the input image on HSV model, we define the color weight function that allows to determine automatically the number and size of points. The color jittering based on Munsell's color model can generate stippling drawings using various colored points to represent the image. Our color stippling method is expected to be used in many areas such as animation, digital art, video processing and CG tool.

This paper investigates chrominance reconstruction methods that reconstruct subsampled chrominance information efficiently using the correlation between luminance and chrominance components in the decompression process of compressed images, and analyzes drawbacks involved in the adaptive-weighted 2-dimensional linear interpolation among the methods, which shows higher efficiency in the view of computational complexity than other methods. To improve the drawback that the spatial frequency distribution is not considered for the decompressed image and to support the application on a low-performance system in behalf of 2-dimensional linear interpolation, this paper proposes the multi-mode reconstruction method which uses three reconstruction methods having different computational complexity from each other according to the degree of edge response of luminance component. The performance evaluation on a development platform for embedded systems showed that the proposed reconstruction method supports the similar level of image quality for decompressed images while reducing the overall computation time for chrominance reconstruction in comparison with the 2-dimensional linear interpolation.

본 논문에서는 모델에 기반한 2차원 영상인식 알고리즘 중에 하나인 일반화된 허프변환(Generalized Hough Transform)에 대하여 색상정보까지 포함할 수 있도록 기존의 알고리즘을 확장하는 방법을 제시하였고, 이에 의한 실험결과를 간단히 고찰하였다. 기존의 일반화된 허프변환은 대상물의 윤곽선 정보에 기반을 두었기 때문에, 윤곽선 정보가 일치하면 대상물의 색상이나 명암분포가 달라도 동일한 대상물로 인식할 가능성이 있다. 따라서, 일반화된 허프변환을 확장하여 대상물의 모델링과 인식과정에 색상정보(chromatic information)를 포함한다면 2D 영상인식시 컬러정보를 활용할 수 있는 장점이 있다. 여기에서는 실제로 모델링 과정과 인식과정에서 색상정보를 반영하기 위한 간략한 방법과, 이에 따른 실험결과를 제시하였다. 간단한 2D 위치변환이 존재하는 실험에서 윤곽선의 모양이 거의 일치하더라도 색상이 다른 대상물이 존재할 경우에 이를 올바로 구분할 수 있었다.

20 fossil sites of numerous fossil sites in Korea have been designated as Natural Monument for protection and conservation. Many of the sites which is located at the coastal area have been gradually disfigured by natural weathering, erosion and human activity. Thus the conservation of the original form and the documentation for the original figure are necessary. In this study, we applied 3D digital documentation to Natural Monument No. 394, Haenam Uhangri dinosaur, pterosaur, and bird footprint fossil site, for maintaining the original form of the dinosaur footprints. We were able to obtain the 3D digital data on two dinosaur footprint sites, a high resolution distributional map, and more accurate digital data of the dinosaur footprints applied the rendering method by ambient occlusion. 3D digital data on the dinosaur footprints is worth for the conservation and research data, moreover content for applying to the various fields such as to make 3D brochure, interactive contents, and so on.

This paper proposes an efficient method for the automatic generation of personalized 3D face model from color image sequence. To detect a robust facial region in a complex background, moving color detection technique based on he facial color distribution has been suggested. Color distribution and edge position information in the detected face region are used to extract the exact 31 facial feature points of the facial description parameter(FDP) proposed by MPEG-4 SNHC(Synthetic-Natural Hybrid Coding) adhoc group. Extracted feature points are then applied to the corresponding vertex points of the 3D generic face model composed of 1038 triangular mesh points. The personalized 3D face model can be generated automatically in less then 2 seconds on Pentium PC.

In this paper, we propose a road lane color recognition method from the image obtained from a driving vehicle. In autonomous vehicle techniques, lane information becomes more important as the level of autonomous driving such as lane departure warning and dynamic lane keeping assistance is increased. In particular the lane color recognition, especially the white and the yellow lanes, is necessary technique because it is directly related to traffic accidents. In this paper, color information of lane and road area is mapped to a 2-dimensional S-color space based on lane detection. And the center of the feature distribution is obtained by using an improved mean-shift algorithm in the S-color space. The lane color is determined by using the distance between the center coordinates of the color features of the left and right lanes and the road area. In various illumination conditions, about 97% color recognition rate is achieved.

This paper proposes a stable and robust method to distinct the color similarity for clothes using the LBG algorithm under various light sources, Since the conventional methods, such as the histogram intersection and the accumulated histogram, are profoundly sensitive to the changing of light environments, the distinction of color similarity for the same cloth can be different due to the complicated light sources. To reduce the effects of the light sources, the properties of hue and saturation which consistently sustain the characteristic of the color under the various changes of light sources are analyzed to define the characteristic of the color distribution. In a two-dimensional space determined by the properties of hue and saturation, the LBG algorithm, a non-parametric clustering approach, is applied to examine the color distribution of images for each clothes. The color similarity of images is defined by the average of Euclidean distance between the mapping clusters which are calculated from the result of clustering of both images. To prove the stability of the proposed method, the results of the color similarity between our method and the traditional histogram analysis based methods are compared using a dozen of cloth examples that obtained under different light environments. Our method successively provides the classification between the same cloth image pair and the different cloth image pair and this classification of color similarity for clothe images obtains the 91.6% of success rate.
