컴퓨터 기술과 정보통신 기술의 발달로 인터넷 사용이 손쉬워 짐에 따라 청소년들에게 무제한으로 유해 사이트가 공개되어 많은 사회적인 문제가 되고 있다. 본 논문에서는 인터넷 사용자에게 음란 정보를 담고 있는 웹사이트 접근을 차단하는 방법에 관한 것으로 칼라 영상에서 인체를 검출하는 새로운 방법을 제안하였다. 효율적인 인체 검출을 위해 인체의 특징의 하나인 피부색을 HSI(Hue, Saturation, Intensity)의 공간에서 조명의 강도 및 각도 차에 영향이 적은 H값과 피부색을 이루는 RGB(Red, Green, Blue)공간에서 R값의 비를 이용하여 추출하고, 미디언 필터를 사용하여 1차적으로 잡음 제거를 하고, 라벨링을 통하여 임계값보다 작은 라벨을 제거함으로써 2차적인 잡음을 제거한다. 다양한 자세의 전신을 템플릿으로 DB화하고, 유형을 2차적인 잡음을 제거한 영상의 크기와 동일하게 확대 한 다음, 템플릿 매칭으로 유사성을 비교하여 인체를 검출하는 방법을 제안하였다. 실험 결과, 피부색을 검출하는 제안 방법이 명암 차를 극복하였고, 다양한 피부색 검출에 양호한 방법임을 확인할 수 있었다. 또한 다양한 템플릿을 만들어, 1차 잡음제거와 라벨링으로 2차 잡음제거를 한 입력 영상과의 템플릿 매칭으로 다양한 자세의 인체를 검출할 수 있었다.

IPresented is a small and handy remotely piloted vehicle(RPV) that can be used for military and non-military surveillance operations. The RPV is equipped with an on-board high resolution color camera to transmit the analog video images and on-board electronics to provide real-time flight information to the pilot, thereby enabling him/her to remotely pilot within the range of 5 km radius. This paper describes the RPV system including its design, manufacturing and flight test results which manifest the stability of on-board mission and flight equipment as well as the remote piloting capability. A future plan for necessary improvements identified from the flight tests are also discussed.

From the BV images of the metal-poor globular cluster NGC 1904 obtained with the 2K CCD camera equipped on the BOAO 1.8m telescope, we construct (B - V, V) color-magnitude diagram of the cluster. The apparent V magnitudes of the RGB bump and tip have been measured from the luminosity function of the iteratively selected RGB stars in NGC 1904. Theoretical absolute $M_v$ magnitudes of the RGB bump and tip are estimated using the Yonsei-Yale isochrones. The distance modulus of NGC 1904 has been derived by comparing the observed apparent V magnitude with the estimated absolute $M_v$ magnitude of the RGB bump and tip.

In the images of a video camera employed for surveillance, detecting targets by extracting foreground image is of great importance. The foreground regions detected, however, include not only moving targets but also their shadows. This paper presents a novel technique to detect shadow pixels in the foreground image of a video camera. The image characteristics of video cameras employed, a web-cam and a CCD, are first analysed in the HSV color space and a pixel-level shadow detection technique is proposed based on the analysis. Compared with existing techniques where unified criteria are used to all pixels, the proposed technique determines shadow pixels utilizing a fact that the effect of shadowing to each pixel is different depending on its brightness in background image. Such an approach can accommodate local features in an image and hold consistent performance even in changing environment. In experiments targeting pedestrians, the proposed technique showed better results compared with an existing technique.

Triadenum breviflorum (Wallich ex Dyer) Y. Kimura in Nakai & Honda (Hypericaceae), previously known only in northeast India, China and Taiwan, was found in a few wetlands of Jeju Island in 2008. Additionally, some images online of T. breviflorum suggest that it exists in other places on the Korean peninsula but that it has been misidentified as Triadenum japonicum. This species is distinguished from the latter by white petals, inflorescence from nodes 6-11, linear to narrowly elliptic leaves, and an attenuated base. The local name Huin-kkot-mul-go-chu-na-mul implies a white flower rather than the flesh-pink color of T. japonicum. The morphological characteristics of the species are provided with photographs of the habitat.

A human gaze detection and tracing method is importantly required for HMI(Human-Machine-Interface) like a Human-Serving robot. This paper proposed a novel three-dimension (3D) human gaze estimation method by using a face recognition, an orientation estimation and SVMs (Support Vector Machines). 2,400 images with the pan orientation range of $-90^{\circ}{\sim}90^{\circ}$ and tilt range of $-40^{\circ}{\sim}70^{\circ}$ with intervals unit of $10^{\circ}$ were used. A stereo camera was used to obtain the global coordinate of the center point between eyes and Gabor filter banks of horizontal and vertical orientation with 4 scales were used to extract the facial features. The experiment result shows that the error rate of proposed method is much improved than Liddell's.

Tracking of an object in 3D space performed in real-time is a significant task in different domains from autonomous robots to smart vehicles. In traditional methods, specific data acquisition equipments such as radars, lasers etc, are used. Contemporary computer technology development accelerates image processing, and it results in three-dimensional stereo vision to be used for localizing and object tracking in space. This paper describes a system for tracking three dimensional motion of an object using color information in real time. We create stereo images using pair of a simple web camera, raw data of an object positions are collected under realistic noisy conditions. The system has been tested using OpenCV and Matlab and the results of the experiments are presented here.

A real-time face detection is to find human faces robustly under the cluttered background free from the effect of occlusion by other objects or various lightening conditions. We propose a face detection system for real-time applications using wavelet decomposition method based on Gabor features. Firstly, skin candidate regions are extracted from the given image by skin color filtering and projection method. Then Gabor-feature based template matching is performed to choose face cadidate from the skin candidate regions. The chosen face candidate region is transformed into 2-level wavelet decomposition images, from which feature vectors are extracted for classification. Based on the extracted feature vectors, the face candidate region is finally classified into either face or nonface class by the Levenberg-Marguardt back-propagation neural network.

The theory of Bartleson and Breneman that the perceived image contrast changes with surround luminance (the lighter surround provides higher contrast) was tested an over bright condition($8500d/m^2$). Contrarily to the Bartleson and Breneman's results, we observed the fact that perceived constrast was decreased when surround huminance increased from dark to over bright through two sets of psychophysical experiments based upon both uniform gray patches and complex color images.

본 논문에서는 내시경 영상에 대해 위암 영역을 자동으로 추출하는 방법을 제안한다. 본 논문에서는 내시경 영상을 획득하는 과정에서 발생하는 조명에 의한 잡음과 굴곡에 의해 발생하는 그림자에 의한 잡음 부분을 해결하기 위해서 HSI의 채도와 밝기 값을 이용하여 잡음 영역을 제거한다. 그리고 헤모글로빈 색소 정보를 나타내는 IHb값을 이용하여 전자 내시경 영상에서 유사한 헤모글로빈 색소 정보를 가지는 영역으로 분할한다. 분할된 영역들 중에서 RGB의 각 채널과 헤모글로빈 색소가 높게 나타나면 후보 영역으로 설정한다. 설정된 후보 영역 중에서 위암 영역의 형태학적인 특징 정보를 이용하여 위암 영역을 추출한다. 실제 전문의가 제공한 20개의 내시경 영상을 대상으로 실험한 결과, 제안된 위암 추출 방법으로 17개가 정확히 추출되었고 3개의 내시경 영상에서는 위암 영역이 정확히 추출되지 않았다.
