The paper introduces a high-frame-rate and high-resolution image acquisition system with DVI Interface, which uses the CMOS image sensor of 2.3 million pixels as the light-sensitive chip and a high-performance FPGA as the main processor. In order to get better image quality and correct the unrealistic color, the image preprocessing is implemented based on FPGA, including color space conversion ...

In this experiment a system has been developed that uses threshold values to segment an image. An image is treated as a one dimensional array of pixel values. In this work, the segmentation is performed in YCbCr color space. In this experiment, the segmented image will have 2 different colors, which are black and white, and for this reason the segmentation is done using local thresholding value...

The contribution deals with the Matlab application used for television colorimetry and color spaces analysis. The mathematical description of known color spaces (RGB, XYZ, YUV, YIQ, YCbCr, HSV, CMY, CMYK) is introduced including their reciprocal transformation. The application allows selection of input color image, direct and backward transformation into the selected space including MKO, CIE an...

We propose and implement a new method of detecting hand signs by combining skin color detection in transformed 2D normalized RGB or YCbCr color space, PCAbased detection of hand gestures and movement tracking of hand centroids. Hand gesture recognition is a field of research with growing applications, and the implemented system uses movement-tracking pairing for more granular recognition and co...

Video-based face recognition has attracted significant attention in many applications such as media technology, network security, human-machine interfaces, and automatic access control system in the past decade. The usual way for face recognition is based upon the grayscale image produced by combining the three color component images. In this work, we consider grayscale image as well as color s...

“Color space” refers to a specific system of coordinates that allows us to describe a particular color of light. In this article we discuss the concept of the color of light and the concept of a “color model”—which if precisely specified is today most often described as a “color space”. We then describe in some detail a number of specific color spaces used in a wide range of fields. TABLE OF CO...

This paper presents color processing for face recognition systems and proposes new directions for them. We show that color information helps performance of face recognition and found that specifically YCbCr and YCg'Cr' color spaces are the most appropriate for face recognition. In this paper, the performance of the principal component analysis (PCA)-based face recognition algorithm is performed...

Steganography is one of the methods used for secret communication. Steganography attempts to hide the existence of the information. The object used to hide the secret information is called as cover object. Images are the most popular cover objects used for steganography. Different techniques have to be used for color image steganography and grey scale image steganography since they are stored i...

Construction progress monitoring has been recognized as one of the key elements that lead to the success of a construction project. The first requirement for effective progress monitoring is the collection and analysis of construction progress information. Through the use of image retrieval, progress information about structural components can be derived from the construction site image. In thi...
