Object-based image retrieval method is addressed. A new image segmentation algorithm and image comparing method between segmented objects are proposed. For image segmentation, color and texture features are extracted from each pixel in the image. These features we used as inputs into VQ (Vector Quantization) clustering method, which yields homogeneous objects in terns of color and texture. In this procedure, colors are quantized into a few dominant colors for simple representation and efficient retrieval. In retrieval case, two comparing schemes are proposed. Comparing between one query object and multi objects of a database image and comparing between multi query objects and multi objects of a database image are proposed. For fast retrieval, dominant object colors are key-indexed into database.

In this study, an algorithm for dithering true color image to 8-bit indexded color image using Artificial Neural Network was proposed. An adaptive vector quantization algorithm based on Artificial neural network was proposed for dithering color images. To evaluate the proposed algorithm, Mean Square Error(MSE) and quality between original image and dithered image was compared to those of other algorithm. As a results, MSE of proposed algorithm was lower than that of other algorithm used in commercial application and quality of dithered image was also highly improved.

Joint photographic experts group (JPEG) is a standard still-image compression technique, established by the international organization for standardization (ISO) and international telecommunication standardization sector (ITUT). The standard is intended to be utilized in the various kinds of color still imaging systems as a standard color image coding format. Because JPEG is a lossy compression, the decompressed image pixel values are not the same as the value before compression. Various distortions of JPEG compression and JPEG recompression has been reported in various papers. The Image compressed by JPEG is often recompressed by same type compression method in JPEG. In general, JPEG is a lossy compression and the quality of compressed image is predicted that is varied in according to recompression Q-factor. In this paper, four difference color samples(photo image, gradient image, gradient image, vector drawing image, text image) were compressed in according to various Q-factor, and then the compressed images were recompressed according to various Q-factor once again. As the result, this paper evaluate the variation of image quality and file size in JPEG recompression and recommed the optimum recompression factor.

A robust and efficient text extraction is very important for an accuracy of Optical Character Recognition (OCR) systems. Natural scene images with degradations such as uneven illumination, perspective distortion, complex background and multi color text give many challenges to computer vision task, especially in text extraction. In this paper, we propose a method for extraction of the text in signboard images based on a combination of mean shift algorithm and weighting scheme of hue and saturation in HSI color space for clustering algorithm. The number of clusters is determined automatically by mean shift-based density estimation, in which local clusters are estimated by repeatedly searching for higher density points in feature vector space. Weighting scheme of hue and saturation is used for formulation a new distance measure in cylindrical coordinate for text extraction. The obtained experimental results through various natural scene images are presented to demonstrate the effectiveness of our approach.

This paper describes a real-time face tracking system using effective detector and Kalman filter. In the proposed system, an image is separated into a background and an object using a real-time updated face color for effective face detection. The face features are extracted using the five types of simple Haar-like features. The extracted features are reinterpreted using Principal Component Analysis (PCA), and interpreted principal components are used for Support Vector Machine (SVM) that classifies the faces and non-faces. The moving face is traced with Kalman filter, which uses the static information of the detected faces and the dynamic information of changes between previous and current frames. The proposed system sets up an initial skin color and updates a region of a skin color through a moving skin color in a real time. It is possible to remove a background which has a similar color with a skin through updating a skin color in a real time. Also, as reducing a potential-face region using a skin color, the performance is increased up to 50% when comparing to the case of extracting features from a whole region.

This paper proposes a framework of superpixel-based vehicle detection method using plane normal vector in disparity space. We utilize two common factors for detecting vehicles: Hypothesis Generation (HG) and Hypothesis Verification (HV). At the stage of HG, we set the regions of interest (ROI) by estimating the lane, and track them to reduce computational cost of the overall processes. The image is then divided into compact superpixels, each of which is viewed as a plane composed of the normal vector in disparity space. After that, the representative normal vector is computed at a superpixel-level, which alleviates the well-known problems of conventional color-based and depth-based approaches. Based on the assumption that the central-bottom of the input image is always on the navigable region, the road and obstacle candidates are simultaneously extracted by the plane normal vectors obtained from K-means algorithm. At the stage of HV, the separated obstacle candidates are verified by employing HOG and SVM as for a feature and classifying function, respectively. To achieve this, we trained SVM classifier by HOG features of KITTI training dataset. The experimental results demonstrate that the proposed vehicle detection system outperforms the conventional HOG-based methods qualitatively and quantitatively.

Homology-specific transcriptional and post-transcriptional silencing, an intrinsic mechanism of gene regulation in most eukaryotes, can be induced by anti-sense, co-suppression, or hairpin-based double-stranded RNA. Hairpin-based RNA interference (RNAi) has been applied to analyze gene function and genetically modify crops. However, RNAi vector construction usually requires high-cost cloning steps and large amounts of time, or involves methods that are protected by intellectual property rights. We describe a more effective method for generating intron-spliced RNAi constructs. To produce intron-spliced hairpin RNA, an RNAi cassette was ligated with the first intron and splicing sequences of the Brassica rapa ssp. pekinensis histone deacetylase 1 gene. This method requires a single ligation of the PCR-amplified target gene to SpeI-NcoI and SacI-BglII enzyme sites to create a gene-specific silencing construct. We named the resulting binary vector system pKHi and verified its functionality by constructing a vector to silence DIHYDROFLAVONOL 4-REDUCTASE (DFR), transforming it into tobacco plants, and confirming DFR gene-silencing via PCR, RT-qPCR, and analysis of the accumulation of small interfering RNAs. Reduction of anthocyanin biosynthesis was also confirmed by analyzing flower color of the transgenic tobacco plants. This study demonstrates that small interfering RNAs generated through the pKHi vector system can efficiently silence target genes and could be used in developing genetically modified crops.

영상은 색상, 형태, 위치, 질감 같은 다양한 특성을 갖고 있기 때문에 하나의 특성만을 이용하여 일괄적으로 영상을 검색할 경우, 만족할 만한 검색효율을 얻기가 어렵다. 특히, 대용량의 영상 데이터베이스일수록 그 같은 현상은 빈번하게 일어나기 때문에 기존의 내용 기반 영상 검색 시스템들은 대부분 하나 이상의 특성을 이용하여 검색효율 향상을 죄하고 있다. 본 논문에서는 Centroid 위치벡터를 이용하여 영상 내의 색상 정보뿐만 아니라, 특정 색상에 대한 위치정보를 고려하는 기법을 제안한다. 질의영상의 한 색상에 대해 Centroid 위치벡터를 추출하고 비교영상의 같은 색상의 Centroid 위치벡터와의 거리를 비교하여 그 거리가 짧을수록 각 색상의 위치 유사도를 높게 책정하는 방식을 제안한다. 제안된 검색 기법은 기존의 색상 분포만을 이용하는 검색 기법에 비해, 원근 처리된 영상에 강인하고, 회전되거나 뒤집힌 영상의 변별력이 향상되었다. 또한, 제안된 방식은 색상정보와 위치정보의 추출을 이원화시키지 않고 동시에 추출함으로써 계산량을 줄이고, 효율적인 색인 파일을 생성하여 검색속도를 향상시켰다.

본 논문에서는 컬러 히스토그램과 CNN 모델을 이용한 객체 추적 기법 알고리즘을 제안한다. CNN (convolutional neural network) 모델기반 객체 추적 알고리즘인 GOTURN (generic object tracking using regression network)의 정확도를 높이기 위해 컬러 히스토그램 기반 mean-shift 추적 알고리즘을 합성하였다. 두 알고리즘을 SVM (support vector machine)을 통해 분류하여 추적 정확도가 더 높은 알고리즘을 선택하도록 설계하였다. Mean-shift 추적 알고리즘은 객체 추적에 실패할 때 경계 박스가 큰 범위로 움직이는 경향이 있어 경계 박스의 이동거리에 제한을 두어 정확도를 향상시켰다. 또한 영상 평균 밝기, 히스토그램 유사도를 고려하여 두 알고리즘의 추적 시작 위치를 초기화하여 성능을 높였다. 결과적으로 기존 GOTURN 알고리즘보다 본 논문에서 제안한 알고리즘이 전체적으로 정확도가 1.6% 향상되었다.
