In this paper, we propose the robust object detection algorithm with spatial gradient information. To do this, first, we eliminate error values that appear due to complex environment and various illumination change by using prior methods based on hue and intensity from the input video and background. Visible shadows are eliminated from the foreground by using an RGB color model and a qualified RGB color model. And unnecessary values are eliminated by using the HSI color model. The background is removed completely from the foreground leaving a silhouette to be restored using spatial gradient and HSI color model. Finally, we validate the applicability of the proposed method using various indoor and outdoor conditions in a complex environments.

Image watermarking schemes are researched in the field of digital watermarking for multimedia data copyright protection, but color image watermarking scheme is a little bit insufficient. In this paper, we analyzed HSI channel analysis in color models for effective image watermarking. Simulation results are satisfied with invisibility and correlation from the extracted watermark.

Identifying color codes needs precise color information of their constituents, and is far from trivial because colors usually suffer severe distortions throughout the entire procedures from printing to acquiring image data. To accomplish accurate identification of colors, we need a reliable segmentation method to separate different color regions from each other, which would enable us to process the whole pixels in the region of a color statistically, instead of a subset of pixels in the region. Color image segmentation can be accomplished by performing edge detection on component image(s). In this paper, we separately detected edges on component images from RGB, HSI, and YIQ color models, and performed mathematical analyses and experiments to find out a pair of component images that provided the best edge image when combined. The best result was obtained by combining Y- and R-component edge images.

In this paper, we propose the movement detection algorithm by using virtual skeleton model. To do this, first, we eliminate error values by using conventioanl method based on RGB color model and eliminate unnecessary values by using the HSI color model. Second, we construct the virtual skeleton model with skeleton information of 10 peoples. After matching this virtual model to original image, we extract the real head silhouette by using the proposed circle searching method. Third, we extract the object by using the mean-shift algorithm and this head information. Finally, we validate the applicability of the proposed method through the various experiments in a complex environments.

Widely used color information recognition methods based on the RGB color model with static fuzzy inference rules have limitations due to the model itself-the detachment of human vision and applicability of limited environment. In this paper, we propose a method that is based on HSI model with new inference process that resembles human vision recognition process. Also, a user can add, delete, update the inference rules in this system. In our method, we design membership intervals with sine, cosine function in H channel and with functions in trigonometric style in S and I channel. The membership degree is computed via interval merging process. Then, the inference rules are applied to the result in order to infer the color information. Our method is proven to be more intuitive and efficient compared with RGB model in experiment.

This paper propose color assessment method using HSI model to evaluate quantitative quality of mosaic images by aerial digital frame camera. Firstly, we convert RGB color into HSI model and we extract six pixel information of S and I corresponding to H from adjacency image by using HSI model. Secondly, a method to measure similarity and contrast is proposed and performed for assesment of observation regarding adjacency images. Through these procedure, we could generate four parameters. We could observe that both of the evaluation results by proposed method and the evaluation results by visual were almost similar. This facts support that our method based on several formula can be an objective method to evaluate a quality of mosaic images itself.

본 논문에서는 배경과 색 정보를 이용하여 얼굴을 추출하는 알고리즘을 제안한다. 영상에서의 얼굴 추출에 관한 방법에는 칼라 영상을 가정한 방법, 농담 영상을 가정한 방법, 얼굴의 회전에 덜 민감한 방법, 복잡한 배경에서의 얼굴 추출 방법 등이 연구되어 있다. 본 논문에서는 배경생성을 통해 물체를 구분하고 칼라 정보(HSI 칼라 모델)를 이용하여 얼굴을 추출한다. 배경생성은 각 픽셀 위치에서의 밝기 값을 장시간 평균하거나 혹은 장시간 누적된 밝기 값들 중 최빈 값을 사용하는데 이 방법은 영상 내 물체의 이동이 정체가 별로 없이 원활한 곳에서는 질 좋은 배경을 생성 할 수 있다. 하지 만 배경의 밝기 값을 누적하는 과정에서 물체의 정지상황이 장시간 반영될 경우 배경 영상의 질이 낮아지는 난점이 있다. 따라서, 배경생성 과정에 하이레벨 정보인 물체의 탐지 결과를 이용하여 움직임이 없는 부분에 대해서만 배경생성에 반영함으로써 좀 더 나은 배경을 생성할 수 있다. 이렇게 생성된 배경을 이용해서 입력 영상과의 배경차이를 하게되면 영상 내에서 배경이 아닌 모든 물체를 추출할 수 있다. 물체를 추출 한 후 얼굴 색깔과 유사한 칼라 영역을 분리하고 추출된 물체의 윗 부분에 얼갈이 위치한다는 가정 하에 일괄을 추출한다.

In the research for driver assistance systems, traffic sign information to the driver must be a very important information. Therefore, the detection system of traffic signs located on the road should be able to handel real-time. To detect the traffic signs, color and shape of traffic signs is to use the information after images obtained using the CCD camera. In the road environment, however, using color information to detect traffic sings will cause many problems due to changes of weather and environmental factors. In this paper, to solve it, the candidate traffic sign regions are detected from road images obtained in a variety of the illumination changes using the HSI eign-color model. And then, using the invariant moment-based SVM classifier to detect traffic signs are proposed. Experimental results show that, traffic sign detection rate is 91%, and the processing time per frame is 0.38sec. Proposed method is useful for real-time intelligent traffic guidance systems can be applied.

In this paper, an image segmentation method which is based on edge salience map and region merging is presented. The edge salience map is calculated by combining a texture edge map with a color edge map. The texture edge map is computed over multiple spatial orientations and frequencies by using Gabor filter. A color edge is computed over the H component of the HSI color model. Then the Watershed transformation technique is applied to the edge salience map to and homogeneous regions where the dissimilarity of color and texture distribution is relatively low. The Watershed transformation tends to over-segment images. To merge the over-segmented regions, first of all, morphological operation is applied to the edge salience map to enhance a contrast of it and also to find mark regions. Then the region characteristics, a Gabor texture vector and a mean color, in the segmented regions is defined and regions that have the similar characteristics, are merged. Experimental results have demonstrated the superiority in segmentation results for various images.
