차량에 부착된 CCD 카메라를 이용하여 취득된 도로 주변의 영상에 존재하는 사람의 얼굴을 추출하여 제거하는 처리를 할 경우, 사생활 침해의 문제 없이 사용자들에게 원하는 지역의 도로영상의 제공이 가능해진다. 이 실험의 목적은 차량에서 취득된 도로 주변의 칼라 영상에서 사람의 얼굴을 자동으로 추출하는 기술을 개발하는데에 있다. 도로 주변의 CCD영상에서의 얼굴 추출을 위해, HSI(색상, 채도, 명도) 칼라 모델과 YCrCb 칼라 모델을 사용하여 이들 모델에 임계값을 적용하여 피부색을 검출하였으며, 두 개의 모델을 사용한 결과 효과적인 피부색의 검출이 가능함을 확인할 수 있었다. 검출된 피부색 영역을 연결성과 밝기 차이를 이용하여 클러스터링을 실행하고 이렇게 나뉘어진 각각의 구역들에 구역의 면적, 구역내 존재하는 화소의 개수, 구역의 가로와 세로 비율 그리고 타원조건을 적용하여 얼굴 후보 구역을 결정하였다. 그리고 최종적으로 남겨진 구역을 이진화 하고, 이진화 된 영상 중 검은 부분이 5% 이상일 때 이들을 눈, 코, 입 등으로 간주하여 최종적인 얼굴로 결정하였다. 실험 결과 추출되지 않은 얼굴과 잘못 추출된 구역이 발생했으나, 얼굴에 해당하는 임계값등의 조건을 약화시킬 경우 대부분의 얼굴의 추출이 가능할 것으로 여겨지며, 추출된 구역을 흐리게 처리할 경우 오인식된 부분에 대한 사용자의 거부감도 줄일 수 있을 것 으로 예상된다.

차량을 포함하는 임의의 영상에서 번호판 추출은 다양한 조명조건 및 배경, 촬영 각도, 번호판 종류 등의 요인으로 인해 고도의 영상처리 과정을 필요로 한다. 본 논문에서는 실제 환경에서 발생할 수 있는 이러한 요인들에 대해 강건한 번호판 추출 방법을 제안한다. 제안하는 방법은 입력영상의 RGB 성분들을 색상성분과 영암성분으로 분리할 수 있는 칼라모델 HSI로 변환하고 H(hue)와 S(saturation)성분을 이용하여 번호판의 배경색상을 고려한 칼라 퍼지지도를 구성한다. 또한, I(intensity)성분을 이용하여 에지밀도를 추출하고 에지밀도 지도에 기반한 영역분리 퍼지지도를 생성한다. 마지막으로, 후보영역 탐색을 위해 칼라 퍼지지도와 영역분리 퍼지지도를 결합하고, 연결성분 해석(Connected Component Analysis)을 통해 ROI(Region Of Interest)를 추출한다. 제안하는 방법의 유효성 검증을 위해 조명 및 촬영 각도에 제한을 거의 두지 않고 촬영된 차량 영상 410장을 실험 영상으로 사용하였다. 실험 결과에서는 $97.1\%$의 효과적인 추출 성공률을 볼 수 있었다.

This study proposed a face region detection algorithm using fuzzy inference of pixel hue and intensity. The proposed algorithm is composed of light compensate and face detection. The light compensation process performs calibration for the change of light. The face detection process evaluates similarity by generating membership functions using as feature parameters hue and intensity calculated from 20 skin color models. From the extracted face region candidate, the eyes were detected with element C of color model CMY, and the mouth was detected with element Q of color model YIQ, the face region was detected based on the knowledge of an ordinary face. The result of experiment are conducted with frontal face color images of face as input images, the method detected the face region regardless of the position and size of face images.

In this paper, we propose the mobile object tracking algorithm based on the feature vector using particle filter. To do this, first, we detect the movement area of mobile object by using RGB color model and extract the feature vectors of the input image by using the KLT-algorithm. And then, we get the first feature vectors by matching extracted feature vectors to the detected movement area. Second, we detect new movement area of the mobile objects by using RGB and HSI color model, and get the new feature vectors by applying the new feature vectors to the snake algorithm. And then, we find the second feature vectors by applying the second feature vectors to new movement area. So, we design the mobile object tracking algorithm by applying the second feature vectors to particle filter. Finally, we validate the applicability of the proposed method through the experience in a complex environment.

The face extraction is very important to provide the images of the roads and road sides without the problem of privacy. For face extraction form roadside images, we detected the skin color area by using HSI and YCrCb color models. Efficient skin color detection was achieved by using these two models. We used a connectivity and intensity difference for grouping, skin color regions further we applied shape conditions (rate, area, number and oval condition) and determined face candidate regions. We applied thresholds to region, and determined the region as the face if black part was over 5% of the whole regions. As the result of the experiment 28 faces has been extracted among 38 faces had problem of privacy. The reasons which the face was not extracted were the effect of shadow of the face, and the background objects. Also objects with the color similar to the face were falsely extracted. For improvement, we need to adjust the threshold.

Recent trend changes a criterion for evaluation of burner that environmental problem is raised as global issue. For efficient driving problem, the higher thermal efficiency and the lower oxygen in exhaust gas, burner is evaluated the better. For environmental problem, burner must satisfy $NO_{X}$ limit and CO limit. Consequently, 'good burner' means on whose thermal efficiency is high under the constraint of $NO_{X}$ and CO consistency. To make existing burner satisfy recent criterion, it is highly recommended to develop feedback control scheme whose output is the consistency of $NO_{X}$ and CO. This paper describes development of real time flame diagnosis technique that evaluate and diagnose combustion state such as consistency of components in exhaust gas, stability of flame in quantitative sense. This study focuses on wave length of luminescence from chemical reaction measurement of the luminescence via optical measuring apparatus and derive correlation with consistency of components in exhaust gas by image processing technique.

This study proposed a method of detecting the facial area by calculating Euclidian distances among skin color elements and extracting the characteristics of the face. The proposed algorithm is composed of light calibration and face detection. The light calibration process performs calibration for the change of light. The face detection process extracts the area of skin color by calculating Euclidian distances to the input images using as characteristic vectors color and chroma in 20 skin color sample images. From the extracted facial area candidate, the eyes were detected in space C of color model CMY, and the mouth was detected in space Q of color model YIQ. From the extracted facial area candidate, the facial area was detected based on the knowledge of an ordinary face. When an experiment was conducted with 40 color images of face as input images, the method showed a face detection rate of 100%.

In this paper, vehicle tracking algorithm using hue transformation in HIS color model is proposed. the proposed algorithm is installed on the road of the two horizontal virtual data sampling lines. The difference images are detected between the frame and the frame, respectively and also detected in the vehicle by using the hue color distribution to determine identity and lane changes. To examine the effectiveness of proposed algorithm, identification and velocity measurement for driving vehicle are evaluated. this evaluated results is shown by hue data of vehicle passing of two virtual data sample lines, and the velocity measurement for driving vehicle is less than 0.4% comparing with existing vehicle speed meter system.

In this paper, we propose a content-based face retrieval system which can retrieve a face based on a facial feature region. Instead of using keyword such as a resident registration number or name for a query, the our system uses a facial image as a visual query. That is, we recognize a face based on a specific feature region including eyes, nose, and mouth. For this, we extract the feature region using the color information based on HSI color model and the edge information from wavelet transformed image, and then recognize the feature region using neural network. The proposed system is implemented on client/server environment based on Oracle DBMS for a large facial image database. In the experiment with 150 various facial images, the proposed method showed about 88.3% recognition rate.
