CCTV is used for various purposes such as crime prevention, public safety reinforcement, and traffic management. However, as the range and resolution of the camera improve, there is a risk of exposing personal information in the video. Therefore, there is a need for new technologies that can identify individuals while protecting personal information in images. In this paper, we propose histogram-based singular value decomposition for object identification and tracking. The proposed method distinguishes different objects present in the image using color information of the object. For object recognition, YOLO and DeepSORT are used to detect and extract people present in the image. Color values are extracted with a black-and-white histogram using location information of the detected person. Singular value decomposition is used to extract and use only meaningful information among the extracted color values. When using singular value decomposition, the accuracy of object color extraction is increased by using the average of the upper singular value in the result. Color information extracted using singular value decomposition is compared with colors present in other images, and the same person present in different images is detected. Euclidean distance is used for color information comparison, and Top-N is used for accuracy evaluation. As a result of the evaluation, when detecting the same person using a black-and-white histogram and singular value decomposition, it recorded a maximum of 100% to a minimum of 74%.

A vision based hand-gesture interface method for substituting a pointing device is proposed in this paper, which is used the ratio and size variation of Gesture Region. Proposed method uses the skin hue&saturation of the hand region from the HSI color model to extract the hand region effectively. This method can remove the non-hand region, and reduces the noise effect by the light source. Also, as the computation quantity is reduced by detecting not the static hand-shape recognition, but the ratio and size variation of hand-moving from the clipped hand region in real time, more response speed is guaranteed. In order to evaluate the performance of the our proposed method, after applying to the computerized self visual acuity testing system as a pointing device. As a result, the proposed method showed the average 86% gesture recognition ratio and 87% coordinate moving recognition ratio.

This study was conducted to investigate the preference for and recognition of Makgeolli by foreign students to determine its potential for export. From March 15 to 29, 2010, 300 students from four universities (Kyung-Hee University, Hankuk University of Foreign Studies, Yonsei University, Chung-Ang University) were surveyed and data from 287 subjects were used for subsequent analyses. The recognition of Makgeolli was as follows: 40.3% knew that Makgeolli's was fermented alcohol; 49.5% knew its proof; 85.7% knew that rice and wheat were the main ingredients of Makgeolli; 72.8% knew it was Korean traditional alcohol. The preference for Makgeolli's was as follows: flavor (3.46), color (3.43), aroma (3.30), texture (3.28), reverberation (3.36), shape of glass (3.51) and Korean bar (3.72), which were slightly high. However, hangover (3.02) and plastic bottle (3.08) had lower values than the other variables. Overall, participants were likely to recommend Makgeolli to others (Male 3.57, Female 3.72), but they did not think that it is a good ingredient for food (2.91). The opportunity for the globalization of Makgeolli appeared to be high (Male 3.57, Female 3.74). To improve the export of Makgoelli, respondents reported that a better marketing strategy (37%) and new type of bottle (42.8%) were needed.

The recognition of car plate was investigated by means of the enhanced fuzzy ART algorithm. The morphological information of horizontal and vertical edges was used to extract a plate area from a car image. In addition, the contour tracking algorithm by utilizing the SOFM was applied to extract the specific area which includes characters from an extracted plate area. The extracted characteristic area was recognized by using the enhanced fuzzy ART algorithm. In this study we propose the novel fuzzy ART algorithm different from the conventional fuzzy ART algorithm by the dynamical establishment of the vigilance threshold which shows a tolerance limit of unbalance between voluntary and saved patterns for clustering. The extraction rate obtained by using the morphological information of horizontal and vertical edges showed better results than that from the color information of RGB and HSI. Furthermore, the recognition rate of the enhanced fuzzy ART algorithm was improved much more than that of the conventional fuzzy ART and SOFM algorithms.

In this thesis, we develop a vision based hand motion recognition system using a camera with two rotational motors. Existing systems were implemented using a range camera or multiple cameras and have a limited working area. In contrast, we use an uncalibrated camera and get more wide working area by pan-tilt motion. Given an image sequence provided by the pan-tilt camera, color and pattern information are integrated into a tracking system in order to find the 2D position and direction of the hand. With these pose information, we estimate 3D motion plane on which the gesture motion trajectory from approximately forms. The 3D trajectory of the moving finger tip is projected into the motion plane, so that the resolving power of the linear gesture patterns is enhanced. We have tested the proposed approach in terms of the accuracy of trace angle and the dimension of the working volume.

We proposed an enhanced extraction method of vehicle plate, in which both the brightness variation of gray and the Hue value of HSI color model were used. For the extraction of the vehicle plate from a vehicle image, first of all, candidate regions for the vehicle plate were extracted from the image by using the property of brightness variation of the image. A real place region was determined among candidate regions by the density of pixels with the Hue value of green and white. For- extracting the feature area containing characters from the extracted vehicle plate, we used the histogram-based approach of individual characters. And we proposed and applied for the recognition of characters the enhanced ART2 algorithm which support the dynamical establishment of the vigilance threshold with the genera]iced union operator of Yager. In addition, we propose an enhanced SOSL algorithm which is integrated both enhanced ART2 and supervised learning methods. The performance evaluation was performed using 100's real vehicle images and the evaluation results demonstrated that the extraction rates of tole proposed extraction method were improved, compared with that of previous methods based un brightness variation, RGB and HSI individually . Furthermore, the recognition rates of the proposed algorithms were improved much more than that of the conventional ART2 and BP algorithms.

In order to have robust performance under various illumination conditions, the fuzzy color filter is proposed in facial image extraction algorithm. In facial component extraction algorithm, the virtual face model is used to give information for high accuracy analysis. Finally, the simulations are given in order to check and evaluate the performance.

In this paper, a neural network architecture which can extract map symbols by being based on the results of physiological and neuropsychological studies on pattern recognition is proposed. This network is composed of multi-layers and synaptic activities of combining layers are implemented by spatial filters which approximate receptive fields of optic nerve cells. In pattern recognition which is followed by color classification for extracting of map symbols from input image, this network is searching for candidatepoints in lower layers (layer 2, 3) by using local features such as lines and end-points and then processing symbols recognition on those points in upper layer(layer 4) by using global features.

A next generation video based car navigation is researched to supplement the drawbacks of existed 2D based navigation and to provide the various services for safety driving. The components of this navigation system could be a load object database, identification module for load lines, and crossroad identification module, etc. In this paper, we proposed the traffic lights and road sign recognition method which can be effectively exploited for crossroad recognition in video-based car navigation systems. The method uses object color information and other spatial features in the video image. The results show average 90% recognition rate from 30m to 60m distance for traffic lights and 97% at 40-90m distance for load sign. The algorithm also achieves 46msec/frame processing time which also indicates the appropriateness of the algorithm in real-time processing.
