As multimedia database and digital image libraries are enlarged, CBIR(Content Based Image Retrieval) has been getting importance for the efficient search. Generally, CBIR uses primitive features such as color, shape, texture and so on. Among various methods of CBIR, Gabor wavelet has good image retrieval performance with texture features but it has a disadvantage which does not perform well for a rotated image because of its direction oriented filter. In this paper, we propose a new method to solve this problem by modifying Gabor filter for all directions. And then we will compare the searching performance of the proposed method with those of conventional image retrieval methods through experiments with trademarks.

In landscape simulatin, it is necessary to express very realistic image generated by computer graphics. One solution is to use texture mapping; however, it needs a lot of work and time to obtain images for texture mapping since there are huge variety of images for buildings, roads, stations and so on, and the landscape image is diverse due to the weather and time. Especially, weathered images such as stain on walls, crack on roads and so forth, are needed to make the landscape image very realistic. These weathered images do not have to be strict so that it saves a lot of work and time for obtaining the images for texture mapping if we can generate a variety of weathered images automatically. Therefore, this paper describes how to generate a variety of weathered images automatically by changing the weathered shape of the original image.

This paper proposes a color image coding algorithm based on shape-adaptive all phase biorthogonal transform (SA-APBT). This algorithm is implemented through four procedures: color space conversion, image segmentation, shape coding, and texture coding. Region-of-interest (ROI) and background area are obtained by image segmentation. Shape coding uses chain code. The texture coding of the ROI is prior to the background area. SA-APBT and uniform quantization are adopted in texture coding. Compared with the color image coding algorithm based on shape-adaptive discrete cosine transform (SA-DCT) at the same bit rates, experimental results on test color images reveal that the objective quality and subjective effects of the reconstructed images using the proposed algorithm are better, especially at low bit rates. Moreover, the complexity of the proposed algorithm is reduced because of uniform quantization.

This paper proposes a new reconstruction method of high-resolution facial image from a low-resolution facial image based on a recursive error back-projection of top-down machine learning. A face is represented by a linear combination of prototypes of shape and texture. With the shape and texture information about the pixels in a given low-resolution facial image, we can estimate optimal coefficients for a linear combination of prototypes of shape and those of texture by solving least square minimization. Then high-resolution facial image can be obtained by using the optimal coefficients for linear combination of the high-resolution prototypes, In addition to, a recursive error back-projection is applied to improve the accuracy of synthesized high-resolution facial image. The encouraging results of the proposed method show that our method can be used to improve the performance of the face recognition by applying our method to reconstruct high-resolution facial images from low-resolution one captured at a distance.

영상 처리를 통한 특징 추출은 영상 검색, 객체 인식, 영상 인덱싱을 포함하는 다양한 분야에서 전처리 과정으로 사용되어 왔다. 특히, 영상 질감 분석에서는 질감 특성 추출을 더 용이하게 하기 위해 질감의 대비를 증가시키는 방법을 사용한다. 생체 현미경 영상에서 두드러진 질감중의 하나는 주름이며 주름의 특징은 노화 관련 응용에 유용한 정보를 다양하게 제공한다. 본 논문에서는 피부 영상에서 나이 관련 특징을 추출하는 기존 방법을 개선하여 피부 나이 측정의 정확도를 높이는 방법을 제안한다.

본 논문에서는 색상과 웨이블렛 기반의 질감 특징들을 사용한 효율적인 내용기반 영상검색 방법을 제안하였다. 색상특징은 전체 영상으로부터 추출된 soft-히스토그램이 사용되며 질감 특징으로는 웨이블렛 변환의 공간 주파수 분석을 통하여 얻어진 고대역 부밴드로부터 추출된 불변 모우멘트가 이용된다. CTBTR이라 불리는 검색시스템은 질의 영상에 대한 효율적인 영상 검색을 위하여 두 단계의 유사성 정합을 수행하는데 첫 번째 정합 단계에서는 간단한 색상 히스토그램을 사용하여 질의 영상과 유사하지 않은 영상을 제거하여서 검색대상의 수를 줄이며, 두 번째 정합 단계에서는 첫 번째 단계에서 선별된 후보영상에 웨이블렛 기반의 질감특징을 적용하여 질의 영상과 유사한 영상을 검색한다. 실험결과 제안된 알고리즘이 기존의 방법보다 검색에 있어서 효율적인 계산처리와 정확한 검색을 수행하여 향상된 결과를 보여 주었다.

고유의 텍스쳐 성분에만 최적 반응을 하는 최적 필터(optimal filter)는 다중 텍스쳐 영상으로부터 원하는 텍스쳐 성분을 추출하기 위한 가장 뛰어난 기술이다. 그러나 기존의 최적필터 설계 방법들은 영상에 내재된 텍스쳐 정보가 사전에 주어지는 교사적 방법이 대부분이며, 내재된 텍스쳐 인식을 기반으로 하는 완전 비교사적인 방법에 관한 연구는 거의 이루어지고 있지 않은 실정이다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 효율적인 텍스쳐 분석을 위한 비교사 학습 방법과 가버필터의 주파수 대역 통과형 특징을 이용한 새로운 최적 필터 설계 방법을 제안한다. 제안한 방법은 자기조직형 신경회로망에 의해서 영상에 내재된 텍스쳐 영역을 블록 단위로 군화(clustering)하며, 가버필터의 최적 주파수는 인식된 텍스쳐 오브젝트(texture objects)의 공간 주파수를 분석한 최적 주파수에 동조(turning)한다. 그리고 설계된 최적 가버필터의 성능 평가를 위해서는 다양한 형태의 다중 텍스쳐 영상을 생성하여 내재된 텍스쳐 오브젝트를 추출함으로써 성공적인 결과를 보인다.

Night-time image quality evaluation is an urgent requirement in visual inspection. The lighting environment of night-time results in low brightness, low contrast, loss of detailed information, and colour dissonance of image, which remains a daunting task of delicately evaluating the image quality at night. A new blind quality assessment metric is presented for realistic night-time scenario through a comprehensive consideration of contrast, texture, and colour in this article. To be specific, image blocks' color-gray-difference (CGD) histogram that represents contrast features is computed at first. Next, texture features that are measured by the mean subtracted contrast normalized (MSCN)-weighted local binary pattern (LBP) histogram are calculated. Then statistical features in Lαβ colour space are detected. Finally, the quality prediction model is conducted by the support vector regression (SVR) based on extracted contrast, texture, and colour features. Experiments conducted on NNID, CCRIQ, LIVE-CH, and CID2013 databases indicate that the proposed metric is superior to the compared BIQA metrics.

In this paper, we propose efficient content-based image retrieval methods using the automatic extraction of the low-level visual features as image content. Two new feature extraction methods are presented. The first one os an advanced color feature extraction derived from the modification of Stricker's method. The second one is a texture feature extraction using some DCT coefficients which represent some dominant directions and gray level variations of the image. In the experiment with an image database of 200 natural images, the proposed methods show higher performance than other methods. They can be combined into an efficient hierarchical retrieval method.

The purpose of this study was to classify the modern image by clothing design elements. This research was done by survey method with 25 kinds of modern image photos selected in fashion magazines. The data was analyzed by Reliability Analysis, Factor Analysis, MANOVA, One-Way ANOVA, Duncan's test and MDS. The results of this study are as follows: 1. modern image was classified by 5 factors. Those were sexy-modern, elegant-modern, natural-modern, mannish-modern and minimal-modern images. 2. Sexy-modern image was well-expressed by chromatic and chromatic color coordinations. Elegant-modern image was well-expressed by fitted silhouette, fit and achromatic and chromatic color coordinations. Natural-modern image was well-expressed by A silhouette, loose apparel-fit, chromatic and chromatic coordinations and soft texture. Mannish-modern image was well-expressed by H silhouette, loose apparel-fit, chromatic and chromatic color coordinations and hard texture. Minimal-modern image was well-expressed by H silhouette, tight or loose apparel-fit and soft texture. 3. modern image was positioned into mostly hard or masculine on image scale.
