Abstract:
The present invention relates to a system and a method for image classification using a color histogram. The method for image classification of the present invention comprises the steps of normalizing an image to a certain size; quantizing RGB values of the normalized image to certain levels; extracting a color histogram based on the quantized RGB values and corresponding frequencies as axes by measuring the frequencies of the quantized RGB values; and determining similarity by comparing the color histogram of the image with a color histogram of another image, thereby classifying multiple images by similar images using dominant colors of the images.

PURPOSE: A label area division method is provided to enable a user to receive or purchase a product including a label by recognizing a label area from an input image. CONSTITUTION: An importance area creation unit creates a predetermined area of an input image as an importance area(S1000). A vertical edge detection unit detects two vertical edges from the importance area and creates an area which is covered with the vertical edges as a label candidate area(S2000). A label area encoding unit creates encoded label area code by calculating the similarity of a direction and a size between pixels in a boundary of the label candidate area(S4000). A label area separation unit separates an area matched with the label area code from the input image(S5000).

Abstract:
The present invention relates to an automatic object segmentation method for automatically segmenting an object from a background using a block clustering algorithm. The automatic object segmentation method is capable of improving user′s convenience and efficiency by automation to supplement the weakness of providing information on the object by a user in the existing GrabCut implementation. The automatic object segmentation method of the present invention comprises an object interest region estimation step of estimating an interest region of an object for image information including segmentation information of a background and the object. In the object interest region estimation step, cluster dispersion information of an image is analyzed to distinguish the cluster according to the size of a dispersion region, and the image is segmented into the predetermined number of blocks and is determined as an object cluster and a background cluster depending on the object area and the background area within an individual block, and a color mean value of the block.

PURPOSE: An object dividing method using a gaussian mixture model and an RGB clustering is provided to automatically divide an object domain of an object material on an input image without a direct handling by a user. CONSTITUTION: A first sub image generator leads a computer equipment to calculate normal distributions of pixels of each input image, and to produce a first sub image generator (S1200). A second sub image generator leads the computer equipment to calculate color mean values of each candidate area, to calculate Euclidean distance between the each pixel and the each color mean value, and to produce a second sub image (S1300). An object divider leads the computer equipment to produce a result image comprising the object division area comprising the pixels which are positioned on an overlapped spot among each pixel of the first and second object candidate area (S1400).

Abstract:
PURPOSE: A system and a method for detecting interstitial lung diseases at a CT image are provided to automatically detect and quantify the initial interstitial lung disease using the CT image. CONSTITUTION: A lung dividing unit(10) divides and extracts a lung area from a CT image. A texture feature point extracting unit(20) extracts one or more texture features in an interest region. A classifying unit(30) classifies corresponding pixel into positivity or negativity with regard to interstitial lung diseases. A detection volume calculating unit(40) calculates the volume of all areas which are classified into positivity. A classification score calculating unit(50) calculates a volume ratio of a positive area to the whole area of a lung.
