특징 기반 영상 인식 방법은 객체의 특징을 이용하므로 템플릿 정합에 비해 고속으로 수행될 수 있다. 불변 특징 기반의 파노라마 생성은 영상 인식의 한 응용으로서, 두 영상 간의 특징점 정합에 많은 처리 시간이 필요하다. 본 논문에서는 특징 강도 정보를 이용하여 특징점 정합 속도를 향상시키는 방법을 제안한다. SURF 알고리즘으로 특징점들을 추출한 후, 특징 강도 정보를 계산하여 강한 특징점들을 선택하여 특징 정합에 사용한다. 특징 강도가 강한 특징점들은 그렇지 않은 특징점들 보다 더 의미 있다고 볼 수 있다. 실험에서 $320{\times}240$ 크기의 칼라 영상에 대해 제안한 방법은 특징 강도 정보를 사용하지 않았을 때보다 40% 이상 처리 속도의 향상을 보였다.

In this paper we propose the CBIR algorithm which is based on a novel image block method that combined both color and edge feature. The main drawback of global histogram representation is dependent of the color without spatial or shape information, a new image block method that divided the image to 8 related blocks which contained more information of the image is utilized to extract image feature. Based on these 8 blocks, histogram equalization and edge detection techniques are also used for image retrieval. The experimental results show that the proposed image block method has better ability of characterizing the image contents than traditional block method and can perform the retrieval system efficiently.

This paper explores an image segmentation and representation method using Vector Quantization(VQ) on color and texture for content-based image retrieval system. The basic idea is a transformation from the raw pixel data to a small set of image regions which are coherent in color and texture space. These schemes are used for object-based image retrieval. Features for image retrieval are three color features from HSV color model and five texture features from Gray-level co-occurrence matrices. Once the feature extraction scheme is performed in the image, 8-dimensional feature vectors represent each pixel in the image. VQ algorithm is used to cluster each pixel data into groups. A representative feature table based on the dominant groups is obtained and used to retrieve similar images according to object within the image. The proposed method can retrieve similar images even in the case that the objects are translated, scaled, and rotated.

Large-scale retrieval algorithm is problem for visual analyses applications, along its research track. In this paper, we propose a high-efficiency region division-based image retrieve approaches, which fuse low-level local color histogram feature and texture feature. A novel image region division is proposed to roughly mimic the location distribution of image color and deal with the color histogram failing to describe spatial information. Furthermore, for optimizing our region division retrieval method, an image descriptor combining local color histogram and Gabor texture features with reduced feature dimensions are developed. Moreover, we propose an extended Canberra distance method for images similarity measure to increase the fault-tolerant ability of the whole large-scale image retrieval. Extensive experimental results on several benchmark image retrieval databases validate the superiority of the proposed approaches over many recently proposed color-histogram-based and texture-feature-based algorithms.

최근 디지털 카메라 기술의 발전으로 이미지를 쉽게 생성할 수 있어 이를 활용한 컴퓨터 비전분야의 연구가 활발하게 진행되고 있다. 특히 디지털 이미지에서 특징점을 추출하고 이를 활용하는 연구가 활발하게 진행되고 있다. 이미지 스티칭은 여러 이미지에서 특징점을 추출하고 이를 정합하여 하나의 고해상도 이미지를 생성하는 것으로 군사용, 의료용뿐만 아니라 실생활의 다양한 분야에서 활용되고 있다. 본 논문에서는 특징점 기술자의 차원을 효과적으로 감소시켜 정확하면서도 빠르게 정합점을 찾을 수 있는 SURF 기반의 빠른 특징점 기술자 추출 및 정합을 이용한 효율적인 이미지 스티칭 기법을 제안한다. 추출된 특징점에서 불필요한 특징점을 분류하여 특징점 기술자를 생성한다. 이때 특징점 기술자의 연산량을 줄이면서도 효율적인 정합을 위해 기술자의 차원을 줄이고 방향 윈도우를 확장하였다. 실험 결과 특징점 정합 및 전체 이미지 스티칭 속도가 기존의 알고리즘보다 빠르면서도 자연스러운 스티칭된 이미지를 생성할 수 있었다.

이미지를 분류하고 검색하는 기술(Image retrieval)중 하나인 Bag of visual words(BoVW)는 특징점(feature point)을 이용하는 방법으로 데이터베이스의 이미지 특징벡터들의 분포를 통해 쿼리 이미지를 자동으로 분류하고 검색해주는 시스템이다. Words를 구성하는데 특징벡터만을 이용하는 기존의 방법은 이용자가 원하지 않는 이미지를 검색하거나 분류할 수 있다. 이러한 단점을 해결하기 위해 특징벡터뿐만 아니라 이미지의 전체적인 분위기를 표현할 수 있는 색상정보나 반복되는 패턴 정보를 표현할 수 있는 텍스처 정보를 Words를 구성하는데 포함시킴으로서 다양한 검색을 가능하게 한다. 실험 부분에서는 특징정보만을 가진 words를 이용해 이미지를 분류한 결과와 색상정보와 텍스처 정보가 추가된 words를 가지고 이미지를 분류한 결과를 비교하였고 새로운 방법은 80~90%의 정확도를 나타내었다.

Feature detection and description are key ingredients of common image processing and computer vision applications. Most existing algorithms focus on robust feature matching under challenging conditions, such as inplane rotations and scale changes. Consequently, they usually fail when the scene is blurred by camera shake or an object's motion. To solve this problem, we propose a new feature description algorithm that is robust to image blur and significantly improves the feature matching performance. The proposed algorithm builds a feature descriptor by considering the integral projection along four angular directions ($0^{\circ}$, $45^{\circ}$, $90^{\circ}$, and $135^{\circ}$) and by combining four projection vectors into a single highdimensional vector. Intensive experiment shows that the proposed descriptor outperforms existing descriptors for different types of blur caused by linear motion, nonlinear motion, and defocus. Furthermore, the proposed descriptor is robust to intensity changes and image rotation.

Recently, the interest and research on 360 camera and 360 image production are expanding. In this paper, we describe the feature extraction algorithm, alignment and image blending that make up the feature-based stitching system. And it deals with the theory of representative algorithm at each stage. In addition, the feature-based stitching system was implemented using OPENCV library. As a result of the implementation, the brightness of the two images is different, and it feels a sense of heterogeneity in the resulting image. We will study the proper preprocessing to adjust the brightness value to improve the accuracy and seamlessness of the feature-based stitching system.

Image stitching is a process of combining two or more images with overlapping area to create a panorama of input images, which is considered as an active research area in computer vision, especially in the field of augmented reality with 360 degree images. Image stitching techniques can be categorized into two general approaches: direct and feature based techniques. Direct techniques compare all the pixel intensities of the images with each other, while feature based approaches aim to determine a relationship between the images through distinct features extracted from the images. This paper proposes a novel image stitching method based on feature pixels with approximated clustering filter. When the features are extracted from input images, we calculate a meaning of the minutiae, and apply an effective feature extraction algorithm to improve the processing time. With the evaluation of the results, the proposed method is corresponding accurate and effective, compared to the previous approaches.
