The classification of the background and cell areas is very important research area because of the ambiguous boundary. In this paper, the region of cell is extracted from an image of uterine cervical cytodiagnosis using the region growing method that increases the region of interest based on similarity between pixels. Segmented image from background and cell areas is binarized using a threshold value. And then 8-directional tracking algorithm for contour lines is applied to extract the cell area. First, the extracted nucleus is transformed to RGB color that is the original image. Second, the K-means clustering algorithm is employed to classify RGB pixels to the R, G, and B channels, respectively. Third, the Hue information of nucleus is extracted from the HSI models that is the transformation of the clustering values in R, G, and B channels. The backpropagation algorithm is employed to classify and identify the normal or abnormal nucleus.

Many systems that use images through object recognition using deep learning have provided various solutions beyond the existing methods. Many studies have proven its usability, and the actual control system shows the possibility of using it to make people's work more convenient. Many studies have proven its usability, and actual control systems make human tasks more convenient and show possible. However, with hardware-intensive performance, the development of models is facing some limitations, and the ease with the use and additional utilization of many unupdated models is falling. In this paper, we propose how to increase utilization and accuracy by providing additional information on the emotional regions of colors and objects by utilizing learning and weights from HSV color histograms of local image data recognized after conventional stereotyped object recognition results.

Communication with the deaf has always been crucial. Deaf and hard-of-hearing persons can now express their thoughts and opinions to teachers through sign language, which has become a universal language and a very effective tool. This helps to improve their education. This facilitates and simplifies the referral procedure between them and the teachers. There are various bodily movements used in sign language, including those of arms, legs, and face. Pure expressiveness, proximity, and shared interests are examples of nonverbal physical communication that is distinct from gestures that convey a particular message. The meanings of gestures vary depending on your social or cultural background and are quite unique. Sign language prediction recognition is a highly popular and Research is ongoing in this area, and the SVM has shown value. Research in a number of fields where SVMs struggle has encouraged the development of numerous applications, such as SVM for enormous data sets, SVM for multi-classification, and SVM for unbalanced data sets.Without a precise diagnosis of the signs, right control measures cannot be applied when they are needed. One of the methods that is frequently utilized for the identification and categorization of sign languages is image processing. African Buffalo Optimization using Support Vector Machine (ABO+SVM) classification technology is used in this work to help identify and categorize peoples' sign languages. Segmentation by K-means clustering is used to first identify the sign region, after which color and texture features are extracted. The accuracy, sensitivity, Precision, specificity, and F1-score of the proposed system African Buffalo Optimization using Support Vector Machine (ABOSVM) are validated against the existing classifiers SVM, CNN, and PSO+ANN.

Classification is widely used in medical images to categorize patients and non-patients. However, conventional classification requires a complex procedure, including some rigid steps such as pre-processing, segmentation, feature extraction, detection, and classification. In this paper, we propose a novel convolutional neural network (CNN), called LeukemiaNet, to specifically classify two different types of leukemia, including acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) and acute myeloid leukemia (AML), and non-cancerous patients. To extend the limited dataset, a PCA color augmentation process is utilized before images are input into the LeukemiaNet. This augmentation method enhances the accuracy of our proposed CNN architecture from 96.9% to 97.2% for distinguishing ALL, AML, and normal cell images.

In this paper, I proposed a eyebrow detection algorithm in human face, that is important element in facial recognition. The proposed algorithm consists of four processes: face region detection using color region segmentation. eye detection by template matching, eyebrow candidate region detection in detected eye region, and eyebrow detection by thresholding using the modified histogram that gets luminance value in the candidate region. The test results show that the proposed algorithm can detect eyebrow region very effectively in facial image.

The sony Eytoy is developed on Playstation 2 using webcam for detecting human. A user see his appearance in television and become real gamer in the game. It is very different interface compared with ordinary video game which uses joystick. Although Eyetoy already was made for commercial products but the interface method still is interesting and can be added with many techniques like gesture recognition. In this paper, we have developed game interface with image processing for human hand and face detection and with game graphic module. And we realize one example game for busting balloons and demonstrated the game interface abilities. We will open this project for other developers and will be developed very much.

Human face detection is often the first step in applications such as video surveillance, human computer interface, fare recognition, and image database management. We have constructed a simple and fast system to detect frontal human faces in complex environment and different illumination. This paper presents a fast segmentation method to combine neighboring pixels with similar hue. The algorithm constructs eye, mouth, and boundary maps for verifying each fare candidate. We test the system on images in complex environment and with confusing objects. The experiment shows a robust detection result with few false detected fates.

PaP Smear 테스트는 자궁 경부암 진단에 가장 효율적인 방법으로 알려져 있다. 그러나 이 방법은 높은 위 음성률(false negative error, 15~50%)을 나타내고 있다. 이런 큰 오류율은 주로 다량의 세포 검사에 기인하여, 자동화 시스템의 개발이 절실히 요구되고 있다. 본 논문은 자궁 경부암의 특징인 군집을 이루는 암세포를 인식할 수 있는 시스템을 제안한다. 시스템은 두 부분으로 나누어진다. 첫 단계에서는 저 배율(100배)에서 간단한 영상처리와 최소 근접 트리(Minimum Spanning Tree)를 통해 군집을 이루는 세포를 찾는다. 두 번째 단계서는 고 배율(400배)로 확대하여 군집 세포들로부터 여러 가지 특징을 추출한 후 KNN(k-Neighbor) 방법을 통해 인식하는 단계이다. 50개의 영상 (640X 480, RGB True Color 25 개의 100배 영상 , 25개의 400배 영상)이 실험에 사용되었다. 한 영상을 처리하는데 약 3초 (2.984초) 소요되었으며, 이는 region growing(20초)나 split and merge(58초) 방법 보다 덜 소요되었다. 100배 영상에서 정상과 비정상의 두 그룹으로 나누었을 경우에는 96%의 높은 인식율을 나타내었으나 비정상을 다시 5개의 그룹으로 나누었을 때는 45%로 나타내었다. 이는 영역 추출(segmentation) 단계에서 오류와 트레이닝 데이터의 비정확성에 기인한다. 400배 영상에서는 각각 92%와 30%로 나타내었다. 이는 영역추출 단계에서 사용한 Watershed 방법의 오류로 기인한 것으로 본다.

본 논문에서는 컬러 영상의 검색을 위하여 영상을 색상 정보에 기반한 pixel layer (cluster)의 집합체로 모델링하고, 두 layer 간의 유사도를 각 layer 를 이루는 pixel 들의 색상 분포에 따른 공간적 분포를 이용하여 측정하는 기법을 제안한다. 먼저 pixel layering 단계에서는 HSV 색 공간에서 mean-shift clustering 알고리즘을 통해 초기 layer 들을 얻고, 비슷한 색상의 layer 들은 합쳐 영상의 soft segmentation 과 유사한 결과를 얻는다. 비교할 두 영상에서 pixel layering 을 한 후, 각 layer 를 이진화된 공간분포 지도로 형성하고 그 차이를 비교함으로써 유사도를 측정한다. 이 때, 사용하는 가중치로서 HSV 색 공간 분포의 비슷한 정도를 정의하는데, 이는 HSV 색 공간을 XYZ 의 3 차원 좌표로 설정하고, overlap 되는 pixel 수로 정의하였다. 본 논문에서 제안한 pixel layer 들 간의 색상 공간 분포에 따른 공간적 분포를 이용한 영상 검색 기법은 MPEG-7 에서 정의한 대표색상 기반의 영상 검색보다 우수한 성능을 보여주었다.

Hand gesture recognition is an important area of research in the field of Human Computer Interaction (HCI). The geometric attributes of the hand play an important role in hand shape reconstruction and gesture recognition. That said, fingertips are one of the important attributes for the detection of hand gestures and can provide valuable information from hand images. Many methods are available in scientific literature for fingertips detection with an open hand but very poor results are available for fingertips detection when the hand is closed. This paper presents a new method for the detection of fingertips in a closed hand using the corner detection method and an advanced edge detection algorithm. It is important to note that the skin color segmentation methodology did not work for fingertips detection in a closed hand. Thus the proposed method applied Gabor filter techniques for the detection of edges and then applied the corner detection algorithm for the detection of fingertips through the edges. To check the accuracy of the method, this method was tested on a vast number of images taken with a webcam. The method resulted in a higher accuracy rate of detections from the images. The method was further implemented on video for testing its validity on real time image capturing. These closed hand fingertips detection would help in controlling an electro-mechanical robotic hand via hand gesture in a natural way.
