내용에 기반한 동영상 검색에서, 대표 프레임을 자주 이용하는데, 이를 위해 우선적으로 동영상의 장면변화를 검출하는 기술이 필요하다. 일반적으로 컬러 히스토그램 비교방법이 많이 쓰이나, 급격한 조명변화에 민감하고 컬러 히스토그램 분포가 비슷한 부분의 장면전환을 놓칠 수 있다는 단점이 있다. 본 논문에서는 컬러 히스토그램 비교방법과 엔트로피를 복합적으로 이용하여 조명변화에 의해 장면전환이 잘못 검출되는 것을 막을 수 있다. 실험을 통해 제안한 방법은 컬러 히스토그램 비교방법보다 조명변화에 보다 감격함을 확인할 수 있었다.

In this paper, an automatic histogram specification method is proposed for image enhancement, Fuzzy membership value is adopted for the representation of image histogram. The desired PDF is automatically constructed by the fuzzy membership value. Fuzzy membership value is extracted from dark membership, bright membership function and original histogram. The effectual results are demonstrated by desired PDF which meet the image enhancement requirements. The performance and effectiveness are shown by the analysis and the resultant image in comparison with histogram equalization method.

From the 90's, the image information retrieval methods have been on progress. As good examples of the methods, Conventional histogram method and merged-color histogram method were introduced. They could get good result in image retrieval. However, Conventional histogram method has disadvantages if the histogram is shifted as a result of intensity change. Merged-color histogram, also, causes more process so, it needs more time to retrieve images. In this paper, we propose an improved new method using Adaptive Color Histogram Bin Matching(AHB) in image retrieval. The proposed method has been tested and verified through a number of simulations using hundreds of images in a database. The simulation results have Quickly yielded the highly accurate candidate images in comparison to other retrieval methods. We show that AHB's can give superior results to color histograms for image retrieval.

In this study, we propose an automatic contrast enhancement method based on transfer function modification (TFM) by histogram equalization. Previous histogram-based global contrast enhancement techniques employ histogram modification, whereas we propose a direct TFM technique that considers the mean brightness of an image during contrast enhancement. The mean point shifting method using a transfer function is proposed to preserve the mean brightness of an image. In addition, the linearization of transfer function technique, which has a histogram flattening effect, is designed to reduce visual artifacts. An attenuation factor is automatically determined using the maximum value of the probability density function in an image to control its rate of contrast. A new quantitative measurement method called sparsity of a histogram is proposed to obtain a better objective comparison relative to previous global contrast enhancement methods. According to our experimental results, we demonstrated the performance of our proposed method based on generalized measures and the newly proposed measurement.

The most popular technique for image retrieval in a heterogeneous collection of color images is the comparison of images based on their color histogram. The color histogram describes the distribution of colors in the color space of a color image. In the most image retrieval systems, the color histogram is used to compute similarities between the query image and all the images in a database. But, small changes in the resolution, scaling, and illumination may cause important modifications of the color histogram, and so two color images may be considered to be very different from each other even though they have completely related semantics. A new method of color feature representation based on the 3-dimensional RGB color map is proposed to improve the defects of the color histogram. The proposed method is based on the three 2-dimensional projection map evaluated by projecting the RGB color space on the RG, GB, and BR surfaces. The experimental results reveal that the proposed is less sensitive to small changes in the scene and that achieve higher retrieval performances than the traditional color histogram.

The reliable detection of the limited defect in TFT-LCD images is difficult due to the small intensity difference with the background. However, the proposed detection method reliably detects the limited defect by enhancing the TFT-LCD image based on the cumulative histogram and then detecting the defect through the mean and standard deviation of the enhanced image. Notably, an image enhancement using a cumulative histogram increases the intensity contrast between the background and the limited defect, which then allows defects to be detected by using the mean and standard deviation of the enhanced image. Furthermore, through the comparison with the histogram equalization, we confirm that the proposed algorithm suppresses the emphasis of the noise. Experimental comparative results using real TFT-LCD images and pseudo images show that the proposed method detects the limited defect more reliably than conventional methods.

커널 기반 평균 이동 물체 추적(kernel-based mean-shift object tracking) 방법은 신뢰할 수 있는 물체 추적의 실시간 구현이 가능하기 때문에 최근 많은 관심을 받고 있다. 이 알고리즘은 표적 모델과 표적 후보 간의 히스토그램 유사성 비교를 통해 최적의 평균이동 벡터를 찾는데, 실시간 구현을 위해 대부분의 알고리즘에서는 색-공간의 균일 양자화를 수행한다. 하지만, 영상의 명암 분포가 편중되어 있는 경우 색-공간의 양자화 후 히스토그램 분포가 몇 몇 빈에 집중되기 때문에 히스토그램 유사성 비교의 정확도를 감소시키게 되고, 따라서 추적의 성능이 저하될 수 있다. 이러한 문제를 해결하기 위해 히스토그램 빈을 적응적으로 조절하는 비-균일 양자화 알고리즘이 제안되었으나 높은 복잡도로 인해 실시간 추적 알고리즘에 부적합한 단점을 갖고 있다. 이에 본 논문에서는 표적 모델에 대한 히스토그램 평활화를 수행한 후 색-공간의 균일 양자화를 수행하는 형태의 고속 비-균일 양자화 기법을 제안함으로써, 색-공간 양자화 후에도 표적 모델의 명암 분포가 전 색-영역에 고르게 분포되도록 함으로써 실시간 평균 이동 추적 기법의 추적 성능이 개선될 수 있도록 하였다. 제안하는 색-공간 양자화 기법을 통해 표적 모델과 비교 후보군 사이에 비교 대상이 되는 색 요소가 증가하게 되며, 보다 정확도 높은 히스토그램 유사성 결과를 얻을 수 있었다. 물체 추적용 영상을 통한 실험 결과, 제안하는 알고리즘은 복잡도 증가가 거의 발생하지 않는 동시에, 기존 비-균일 양자화 알고리즘 결과와 유사하거나 좀 더 나은 추적 결과를 보여주었다.

This study presents a method to restore an optical satellite image with distortion and occlusion due to fog, haze, and clouds to one that minimizes degradation factors by referring to the same type of peripheral image. Specifically, the time and cost of re-photographing were reduced by partially occluding a region. To maintain the original image's pixel value as much as possible and to maintain restored and unrestored area continuity, a simulation restoration technique modified with the Cycle Generative Adversarial Network (CycleGAN) method was developed. The accuracy of the simulated image was analyzed by comparing CycleGAN and histogram matching, as well as the pixel value distribution, with the original image. The results show that for Site 1 (out of three sites), the root mean square error and R² of CycleGAN were 169.36 and 0.9917, respectively, showing lower errors than those for histogram matching (170.43 and 0.9896, respectively). Further, comparison of the mean and standard deviation values of images simulated by CycleGAN and histogram matching with the ground truth pixel values confirmed the CycleGAN methodology as being closer to the ground truth value. Even for the histogram distribution of the simulated images, CycleGAN was closer to the ground truth than histogram matching.
