칼라 정보를 이용하여 영상을 정합하기 위해서는 적은 수의 칼라 집합으로 영상을 표현하는 영상 양자화 과정이 필요하다. 적응적 양자화를 사용하는 경우에는 균일 양자화에 비해 높은 정합 성능을 기대할 수 있지만 상이한 칼라 집합의 생성으로 인해 영상 정합 과정이 힘들게 된다. 이에 본 논문에서는 상이한 칼라 집합을 갖는 영상을 정합할 수 있는 기초적인 연구를 수행하였다. 영상 정합을 위해 우선 STR(sort-tile-recursive) 방법[1]을 응용하여 질의 영상의 각 칼라에 대한 유사 칼라를 DB 영상으로부터 빠르게 선정할 수 있는 방법을 개발하였다. 질의 칼라와 유사 칼라간의 유사도를 정의하고 이를 기반으로 영상간의 유사도를 계산함으로써 영상 정합에 이용할 수 있도록 하였다. 칼라간의 유사도는 칼라 차이가 고려되어 정의되는데 칼라 차이는 칼라 공간에서의 칼라 거리로 계산된다. 칼라 거리를 계산하기 위해 유클리디언 거리를 이용할 경우 많은 계산량이 요구되므로 기존의 시티블록 거리나 체스보드 거리에 비해 유클리디언 거리를 좀더 유사하게 근사화하면서 빠른 계산이 가능한 거리 계산 방법을 개발하였다.

A color based segmentation procedure and a modified signature technique have been applied to the detection and analyses of complicated void shapes in cemented materials. The gray-scale segmentation and available signature methods were found to be inefficient especially for the analyses of complicated void shapes. The applicability of the developed methodology has been demonstrated on artificially prepared cemented materials made of self compacted concrete material. In order to characterize the void shapes in the investigated sample images, two new shape parameters called as coefficients of inclusion and exclusion have been proposed. When compared with the traditional use of the signature method, it was found that the methodology followed herein would better characterize complicated void shapes. The methodology followed in this study may be applied to the analysis of complicated void shapes that are often encountered in other cementitious materials such as clays and rocks.

The visual inspection method is widely used for corrosion damage analysis of steel plate due to the cost-efficient, fast and reasonably accurate results. However, visual inspection of corrosion deteriorated degree has a problem that the reliability of results differs depending on the inspector's individual knowledge and experience. In this study, we evaluated the degree of corrosion from a given image by using image segmentation method based on the grabcut and HSV(Hue, Saturation, Value) color image processing techniques for the development of an automatic inspection tool. The code written in Python based OpenCV-python libraries was used to categorize the images.

It is commonplace that high false detection rates interfere with immediate vision-based fire monitoring system. To circumvent this challenge, we propose a fire detection algorithm that can accommodate color variations of RGB in temporal domain, aiming at reducing false detection rates. Despite interrupting images (e.g., background noise and sudden intervention), the proposed method is proved robust in capturing distinguishable features of fire in temporal domain. In numerical studies, we carried out extensive real data experiments related to fire detection using 24 video sequences, implicating that the propose algorithm is found outstanding as an effective decision rule for fire detection (e.g., false detection rate <10%).

Understanding how ram pressure stripping (RPS) affects the star formation activity of cluster galaxies is one of the important issues in astrophysics. To examine whether we can identify any discernible trend in the star formation activity of galaxies undergoing ram pressure stripping, we study the star formation properties of galaxies in the Virgo cluster for which high-resolution HI images are available. We first classify galaxies in the Extended Virgo Cluster Catalog into different stages of RPS based on their HI morphology, HI deficiency, and location in phase space. We then examine various star formation activity indicators of these galaxies, which include starburstiness, g - r color, and WISE [3.4]-[12] color. No noticeable enhancement in star formation was identified for galaxies undergoing early or active stripping. Our results suggest that star formation activity at best seems to be enhanced locally in such galaxies, making it challenging to detect with integrated photometry. With the combination of HI deficiencies and locations in phase space, we were instead able to capture the overall quenching of star formation activity with increasing degree of ram pressure stripping, which agree with previous studies.

As an important part of image processing, image demosaicking has been widely researched. It is especially necessary to propose an efficient interpolation algorithm with good visual quality and performance. To improve the limitations of residual interpolation (RI), based on RI algorithm, minimalized-Laplacian RI (MLRI), and iterative RI (IRI), this paper focuses on adaptive RI (ARI) and proposes an improved ARI (IARI) algorithm which obtains more distinct R, G, and B colors in the images. The proposed scheme fully considers the brightness information and edge information of the image. Since the ARI algorithm is not completely adaptive, IARI algorithm executes ARI algorithm twice on R and B components according to the directional difference, which surely achieves an adaptive algorithm for all color components. Experimental results show that the improved method has better performance than other four existing methods both in subjective assessment and objective assessment, especially in the complex edge area and color brightness recovery.

Image processing has been applied to steel bridge defect recognition since 1990s. Compare to human visual inspection, image processing provides a more objective and accurate way of assessment. Since shade and shadow may sometimes occur when taking bridge coating images, non-uniform illumination problems should be considered. By means of color image processing, this paper aims to mitigate the illumination effect for bridge coating assessment. Furthermore, the adaptable ellipse method (AEM) is proposed to recognize mild rust colors. Finally, AEM will be compared to the K-Means algorithm, a popular recognition method, to show its advantage.

서로 다른 색상의 조명환경에서 촬영된 영상으로부터 동일 객체를 자동으로 검출하기 위하여 객체의 색상 비교가 요구된다. 본 논문에서는 서로 다른 조명 영상들에서 비교 대상 객체들의 색상을 비교 분석하기 위하여, 조명 차이 요소를 제거하고, 입력영상을 목표 조명영상으로 변환하기 위한 색 보정 기법을 제안한다. 제안 색상 보정 기법은 촬영전에 색상 팔렛트를 이용하여 조명색상 정보를 분석하여 각 조명간 RGB 색상 요소별 차이를 전처리 단계에서 계산한다. 각 조명환경에서 촬영한 영상에 대해, 미리 계산된 조명간 차이값을 입력되는 각 영상화소값에 반영함으로써 영상의 색상을 보정한다. 실험에서, 서로 다른 색상의 조명 조건에서 촬영된 두 영상에 대하여 하나의 영상을 기준 영상으로 선정하고, 다른 하나의 영상에 제안 보정처리를 수행한다. 보정 전후 영상과 기준 영상과의 가시적인 비교 방법과 히스토그램 비교에 의하여 제안 보정 기법의 성능을 평가한다.

This paper proposes a hybrid algorithm combining K-means clustering and watershed algorithms for flower segmentation and counting. We use the K-means clustering algorithm to obtain the main colors in a complex background according to the cluster centers and then take a color space transformation to extract pixel values for the hue, saturation, and value of flower color. Next, we apply the threshold segmentation technique to segment flowers precisely and obtain the binary image of flowers. Based on this, we take the Euclidean distance transformation to obtain the distance map and apply it to find the local maxima of the connected components. Afterward, the proposed algorithm adaptively determines a minimum distance between each peak and apply it to label connected components using the watershed segmentation with eight-connectivity. On a dataset of 30 images, the test results reveal that the proposed method is more efficient and precise for the counting of overlapped flowers ignoring the degree of overlap, number of overlap, and relatively irregular shape.

In this paper, Aesthetic Measure measurements were performed on user images. Aesthetic Measure refers to the sensibility that our sensory organs are stimulated from outside to produce sensations or perceptions. Using this Aesthetic Measure, the problem of color harmony and disharmony treated as emotion was calculated numerically.
