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.

본 논문에서는 두 가지 영상 콘트라스트 향상 기법인 RSWHE (Recursively Separated and Weighted Histogram Equalization)와 RSWHS (Recursively Separated and Weighted Histogram Specification)를 새롭게 제안한다. RSWHE는 히스토그램 평활화 방법에 히스토그램 분할과 가중치 개념을 적용하였고, RSWHS는 히스토그램 명세화 방법에 히스토그램 분할과 가중치 개념을 적용하였다. 제안 방법은 1) 입력 영상의 평균 명도 값을 기준으로 히스토그램을 분할하고, 2) 분할된 각 서브히스토그램(sub-histogram)이 차지하는 확률밀도 값을 계산하며, 3) 계산된 확률밀도 값을 가중치로 사용하여 각 서브히스토그램을 변형한 후, 4) 변형된 각 서브히스토그램을 독립적으로 평활화 하거나 (RSWHE 방법인 경우) 또는 명세화 하게 (RSWHS 방법인 경우) 된다. 다양한 영상에 대한 실험을 통하여, 제안하는 두 방법이 기존의 다른 방법들에 비하여 콘트라스트 향상과 평균 명도 보존 측면에서 우수한 성능을 나타냄을 알 수 있었다.

Usually, spatial information can be incorporated into histograms by taking histograms of a multiresolution image. For these reasons, many researchers are interested in multiresolution histogram processing. If the relation and sensitivity of the multiresolution images are well combined without loss of information, we can obtain satisfactory results in several fields of image processing including histogram equalization, specification and pattern matching. In this paper, we propose a multiresolution histogram specification method that improves the accuracy of histogram specification. The multiresolution decomposition technique is used in order to overcome the unique feature of a histogram specification affected by a quantization error of a digitalized image. The histogram specification is processed after the reduction of image resolution in order to enhance the accuracy of the results by histogram specification methods. The experimental results show that the proposed method enhances the accuracy of specification compared to conventional methods.

Here, we present a new framework for histogram equalization in which both local and global contrasts are enhanced using neighborhood metrics. When checking neighborhood information, filters can simultaneously improve image quality. Filters are chosen depending on image properties, such as noise removal and smoothing. Our experimental results confirmed that this does not increase the computational cost because the filtering process is done by our proposed arrangement of making the histogram while checking neighborhood metrics simultaneously. If the two methods, i.e., histogram equalization and filtering, are performed sequentially, the first method uses the original image data and next method uses the data altered by the first. With combined histogram equalization and filtering, the original data can be used for both methods. The proposed method is fully automated and any spatial neighborhood filter type and size can be used. Our experiments confirmed that the proposed method is more effective than other similar techniques reported previously.

영상의 화질을 개선하기 위한 많은 방법 중 비교적 간단하게 사용되는 방법 중 하나는 영상의 대비를 조절하는 것이다. 이러한 대비를 조절하는 방법 중 하나인 히스토그램 균등화는 영상 계조도 값의 분포를 균등 분포로 변환함으로써 화질을 개선한다. 그러나, 기존의 방법은 영상의 히스토그램 분포가 몇개의 계조도 값에 군집화되어 있다면 영상의 계조도가 과도하게 변하는 단점을 갖는다. 본 논문은 그레이스케일 영상에 대해 히스토그램의 형태를 고려해서 가우시안 함수에 기반한 히스토그램 매칭 방법을 제안한다. 제안된 방법은 영상이 과도하게 밝아지는 것을 제한하고 히스토그램의 분포가 몇 개의 계조도에 군집화되어 있는 영상에서의 에지 및 어두운 부분의 자세한 정보를 표현하는데 우수한 성능을 나타내었다.

Image thresholding techniques introducing spatial information are widely used image segmentation. Some methods are used to calculate the optimal threshold by building a specific histogram with different parameters, such as gray value of pixel, average gray value and gradient-magnitude, etc. However, these methods still have some limitations. In this paper, an entropic thresholding method based on Gabor histogram (a new 2D histogram constructed by using Gabor filter) is applied to image segmentation, which can distinguish foreground/background, edge and noise of image effectively. Comparing with some methods, including 2D-KSW, GLSC-KSW, 2D-D-KSW and GLGM-KSW, the proposed method, tested on 10 realistic images for segmentation, presents a higher effectiveness and robustness.

Image Hash specifies as a descriptor that can be used to measure similarity in images. Among all image Hash methods, histogram based image Hash has robustness to common noise-like operation and various geometric except histogram _equalization. In this_paper an improved histogram based Image Hash that is using "Imadjust" filter I together is proposed. This paper has achieved a satisfactory performance level on histogram equalization as well as geometric deformation.

본 논문은 Wang-Ward의 WTHE(Weighted and Thresholded Histogram Equalization) 방법에 히스토그램 분할 개념을 적용한 새로운 영상 화질 개선 방법(DWTHE: Decomposable WTHE)을 제안한다. DWTHE는 먼저 영상의 평균 자기 값 또는 명도 균등 분할점을 기준으로 입력 히스토그램의 영역을 분할하고, 분할된 각 영역의 확률밀도 값을 가중치로 사용하여 새로운 히스토그램을 만든 후, 히스토그램 평활화 과정을 수행하게 된다. 하나의 가중치를 사용하는 WTHE 방법과 다르게, 제안 방법은 히스토그램 분할로 인한 복수외 가중치 값을 사용하게 되며, 실험 결과 제안 방법은 기존 방법에 비해 우수한 화질 개선 효과를 보여주었다.

One of the common issues in large dataset analyses is to detect and construct homogeneous groups of objects in those datasets. This is typically done by some form of clustering technique. In this study, we present a divisive hierarchical clustering method for two monothetic characteristics of histogram data. Unlike classical data points, a histogram has internal variation of itself as well as location information. However, to find the optimal bipartition, existing divisive monothetic clustering methods for histogram data consider only location information as a monothetic characteristic and they cannot distinguish histograms with the same location but different internal variations. Thus, a divisive clustering method considering both location and internal variation of histograms is proposed in this study. The method has an advantage in interpreting clustering outcomes by providing binary questions for each split. The proposed clustering method is verified through a simulation study and applied to a large U.S. house property value dataset.
