Due to the fast development in computer and communication technologies, a video is now being more widely used than ever in many areas. The current information analyzing systems are originally built to process text-based data. Thus, it has little bits problems when it needs to correctly represent the ambiguity of a video, when it has to process a large amount of comments, or when it lacks the objectivity that the jobs require. We would like to purpose an algorithm that is capable of analyze a large amount of video efficiently. In a video, divided areas use a region growing and region merging techniques. To sample the color, we translate the color from RGB to HSI and use the information that matches with the representative colors. To sample the shape information, we use improved moment invariants(IMI) so that we can solve many problems of histogram intersection caused by current IMI and Jain. Sampled information on characteristics of the streaming media will be used to find similar frames.

This paper describes the design and implementation of a real-time, high-precision vision system and its application to SMT(surface mounting technology) automation. The vision system employs a 32 bit MC68030 as a main processor, and consists of image acquisition unit. DSP56001 DSP based vision processor, and several algorithmically dedicated hardware modules. The image acquisition unit provides 512*480*8 bit image for high-precision vision tasks. The DSP vision processor and hardware modules, such as histogram extractor and feature extractor, are designed for a real-time excution of vision algorithms. Especially, the implementation of multi-processing architecture based on DSP vision processors allows us to employ more sophisticated and flexible vision algorithms for real-time operation. The developed vision system is combined with an Adept Robot system to form a complete SMD system. It has been found that the vision guided SMD assembly system is able to provide a satisfactory performance for SND automation.

Image retrieval is one of the most exciting and fastest growing research fields in the area of multimedia technology. As the amount of digital contents continues to grow users are experiencing increasing difficulty in finding specific images in their image libraries. This paper proposes an efficient image descriptor which uses a local color and texture in the non-overlapped block images. To evaluate the performance of the proposed method, we assessed the retrieval efficiency in terms of ANMRR with common image dataset. The experimental trials revealed that the proposed algorithm exhibited a significant improvement in ANMRR, compared to Dominant Color Descriptor and Edge Histogram Descriptor.

최근 지능형 차량과 ADAS(Advanced Driver Assistance System) 개발에 있어 차량 영상을 이용한 도로 정보 분석이 중요한 화두로 떠오르고 있다. 다양한 도로 정보 중에서 도로표지판 검출 및 판단은 차량 운행 환경을 파악할 수 있는 중요한 과정이 될 수 있다. 이에 본 논문에서는 차량 영상에서의 색상 정보를 이용하여 표지판의 후보 영역을 추출(Candidate Generation)하고, 후보 영상에 대한 HOG(Histogram of Gradient) 특징 분석을 통해 도로표지판 여부와 그 종류를 판단(Object Classification)하는 알고리즘을 구현하였다. 또한 구현 알고리즘은 실시간 처리가 가능한 속도를 보여주어 지능형 차량 또는 ADAS에서의 실제 적용이 가능하도록 하였다.

Among the technologies for implementing autonomous vehicles, advanced driver assistance system is a key technology to support driver's safe driving. In the technology using the vision sensor having a high utility, various preprocessing methods are used prior to feature extraction for lane detection. However, in the existing methods, the unnecessary lane candidates such as cars, lawns, and road separator in the road area are false positive. In addition, there are cases where the lane candidate itself can not be extracted in the area under the overpass, the lane within the dark shadow, the center lane of yellow, and weak lane. In this paper, we propose an efficient preprocessing method using k-means clustering for image division and the HSV color model. When the proposed preprocessing method is applied, the true positive region is maximally maintained during the lane detection and many false positive regions are removed.

Lip reading is a field of image processing to assist the process of sound recognition. In some environment, the capture of sound signal usually has significant noise and therefore, the recognition rate of sound signal decreases. Lip reading can be a good feature for the increase of recognition rates. Conventional lip extraction methods have been proposed widely. Maia et. al. proposed a method by the sum of Cr and Cb. However, there are two problems as follows: the point with maximum saturation is not always regarded as lips region and the inner part of lips such as oral cavity and teeth can be classified as lips. To solve these problems, this paper proposes a method which adopts the histogram-based classifier for the extraction of lips region. The proposed method consists of two stages, learning and test. The amount of computation is minimized because this method has no color conversion. The performance of proposed method gives 66.8% of detection rate compared to 28% of conventional ones.

효율적인 영상 검색 시스템을 구축하기 위하여 칼라, 형태, 질감등과 같은 특징을 추출하여 검색하는 방법들이 연구되어 지고 있다. 이 중 기존의 형태 정보를 이용한 방법은 적용 대상을 국한하여 연구되거나 특징 추출을 위한 계산의 복잡성에 비해 좋은 효과를 보이지 않고 있다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 문제점을 해결하고 다양한 영상에 적용할 수 있는 특징을 추출하고자 통계적인 방법중의 하나인 히스토그램을 이용하고자 한다. 히스토그램을 이용한 방법은 계산이 용이할 뿐 아니라 검색 결과면에서도 높은 효율을 보이고 있다. 영상으로부터 추출한 선분을 각도에 따라 18개의 빈으로 양자화 하여 각 빈에 속한 선분들의 길이의 합을 이용하여 비교하는 각도 히스토그램(angular histogram), 그리고 선분들이 공간 분포에 대한 정보를 얻기 위하여 각도 히스토그램에서 각 빈에 속한 선분들의 대표 좌표들의 1차, 2차, 3차 모멘트를 구하여 사용하는 방법과 특정 각도를 가진 선분들 사이의 거리를 이용한 각도 Correlogram을 제안한다.

This paper proposes a building recognition algorithm using watershed image segmentation algorithm and integrated region matching (IRM). To recognize a building, a preprocessing algorithm which is using Gaussian filter to remove noise and using canny edge extraction algorithm to extract edges is applied to input building image. First, images are segmented by watershed algorithm. Next, a region adjacency graph (RAG) based on the information of segmented regions is created. And then similar and small regions are merged. Second, a color distribution feature of each region is extracted. Finally, similar building images are obtained and ranked. The building recognition algorithm was evaluated by experiment. It is verified that the result from the proposed method is superior to color histogram matching based results.

With the wide deployment of biometric authentication systems, several issues pertaining security and privacy of the biometric template have gained great attention from the research community. To resolve these issues, a number of biometric template protection methods have been proposed. However, the design of a template protection method to satisfy four criteria, namely diversity, revocability and non-invertibility is still a challenging task, especially performance degradation when template protection method is employed. In this paper, we propose a novel method to generate a revocable minutiae-based fingerprint template. The proposed method consists of feature extraction from fingerprint minutiae pairs, quantization, histogram binning, binarization and eventually binary bit-string generation. The contributions of our method are two fold: alignment-free and good performance. Various experiments on FVC2004 DB1 demonstrated the effectiveness of the proposed methods.

We introduce a vision-based hand gesture recognition fer understanding musical time and patterns without extra special devices. We suggest a simple and reliable vision-based hand gesture recognition having two features First, the motion-direction code is proposed, which is a quantized code for motion directions. Second, the conducting feature point (CFP) where the point of sudden motion changes is also proposed. The proposed hand gesture recognition system extracts the human hand region by segmenting the depth information generated by stereo matching of image sequences. And then, it follows the motion of the center of the gravity(COG) of the extracted hand region and generates the gesture features such as CFP and the direction-code finally, we obtain the current timing pattern of beat and tempo of the playing music. The experimental results on the test data set show that the musical time pattern and tempo recognition rate is over 86.42% for the motion histogram matching, and 79.75% fer the CFP tracking only.
