TV 뉴스 여성앵커 재킷의 색상 이미지 연구

TV news anchor woman's appearance, voice, expression, and clothing, etc., have an influence on the reliability of the article to be reported. Among these, clothing is the most crucial factor in forming an anchor woman's image, especially the clothing color factor. This study is aimed at providing the basic foundation for anchor woman when they select the clothing color by analyzing the clothing color image on the screen. For this purpose, the KBS and MBC 9 o'clock news desk and SBS 8 o'clock news of the local major news programs were selected. With the collection of 300 pieces of news clips related to anchor woman's clothing from January to December 2008, they were classified into F/W seasons and analyzed by the clothing color. The surveying method of clothing color was to capture the anchor woman's clothing among the news clips, then pick the representing color by applying Adobe Photoshop, and researching the formed <TEX>$L^*a^*b^*$</TEX> value of color chips. The surveyed color was transformed into value of distant cell, H V/C, and the results were analyzed. As a result, it showed that the White system for anchor woman's clothing during the S/S seasons is most frequently picked, followed by the Red system. In F/W seasons, Gray system is the most favored, then White and Red, respectively. It was revealed that the most frequently selected colors for upper-wear by anchor women in the three broadcasting stations was an achromatic color, such as White or Gray, and then the chromatic color, Red. It shows that there is no big difference in season. The Inner-wear color matched the jackets which were also achromatic in color, white and black being the most favored in the S/S seasons, and in the case of chromatic colors, Red was the most favored. In addition to this, identical coloration with jacket, coloration with similar color, or single color as clothing color were no less frequently adopted. During the F/W seasons, identical coloration accounts for 26%, the most popular colored being White and Red. It was found that the coloration with achromatic colors are highly favored in the three major broadcasting stations alike.

의복스타일별 색채에 대한 이미지 분석

This research investigates the influence of color as an important factor of the visual image created by clothes. First, the factor analysis of the adjectives describing the images of clothes shows that the images of clothes are classified into 4 factors that include attraction, brightness, femininity, and the figure type (of which the attraction factor and brightness factor were found to be important dimensions). Second, as for the images of feminine style clothes colors, violet appears more refined and attractive than other colors in all 3 tones. Red appears as a brilliant and glowing image in a vivid tone. Yellow in a vivid tone and pale tone, and red in deep tone appear as a warm image, while blue appears as a cold image in all 3 tones. Blue and violet appear as a tall and slim image in all 3 tones. As for the images of mannish style clothes colors, yellow in vivid tone, violet in pale tone and red in deep tone appear as the most refined and attractive image, while green in all the tones appears as a rustic and unattractive image. Red in vivid tone, yellow in pale tone and violet in deep tone appear as a very brilliant and glowing image. Red in pale tone and deep tone appear as a warm and feminine image. Third, yellow in all the tones is evaluated to be attractive in the mannish style in the comparison of the image of feminine and mannish style clothes color, while blue in a pale tone in feminine style and in deep tone in mannish style earned high points. Red and violet did not show any significant differences between the two styles.

RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN COLORS AND SOLAR TRANSMITTANCE, REFLECTANCE AND ABSORPTANCE OF CLOTHING

Solar transmittance τcl, reflectance ρcl and absorptance αcl of eight different colors of clothing were measured. Solar transmittance increased and reflectance decreased with decreasing solar incidence angle to clothing. Solar absorptance was nearly constant regardless of solar incidence angle. The relationships between colors of clothing and solar transmittance, reflectance and absorptance were studied. Solar reflectance was expressed as a linear function of Munsell value regardless of hue and chroma. Solar transmittance, reflectance and absorptance were expressed as a function of luminance reflectance Y:τcl = 0.146 + 0.0017Y, ρcl = 0.320+ 0.0052Y, αcl = 0.535 - 0.0069Y.

Color estimation base on a giving color estimation PC-based system

A person's clothes color information was estimated by using a prototype PC-based system. The novel concept can be divided into 3 stages. First, space-variant color filter is put onto the lens of the monochrome security camera. Secondly, when a crime takes place, the camera records suspected person. Finally, just after the crime, characteristics of the space-variant color filter are measured by the police, and the color of the clothes of the suspected person is estimated. In this experiment six kind reference color cloth were used. The result shows using this system to estimate the clothes color is easily, rapidly and precisely.

Fuzzy system-based real-time face tracking in a multi-subject environment with a pan-tilt-zoom camera

This paper proposes real-time face tracking in a multi-subject environment with a pan-tilt-zoom camera using the fuzzy system technique. Tracking is based on detected faces in the Hue–Saturation–Value (HSV) color space. To detect faces, a fuzzy classifier segments skin colors in the HS color space. To reduce the influence of illumination, a fuzzy system is designed to adaptively determine the fuzzy classifier segmentation threshold according the V color space of an image. Detected skin regions are considered face candidates. Shape and color features serve as another fuzzy classifier inputs, leading to a final detection. For face tracking, a Kalman filter algorithm predicts face detection regions and corrects tracking trajectory. When no face is detected, the consecutive frame difference is employed to track the moving person to avoid tracking lost. To track a specific person among multiple persons, a clothing color histogram in the HS space serves as the determination criterion. The performance of the proposed face detection method is compared to other real-time face detection methods. In real-time operations, the tracking system uses camera panning, tilting, and zooming operations to keep the tracked person within the camera view and maintain a suitable face size in the image.

청소년의 의복색 선호가 자기표현욕구와 패션관심도에 미치는 영향

In this study, the effect of clothing color preferences of adolescents on their self expression desires and fashion interest were investigated. These investigations were intended to understand some psychological aspects of adolescents and to make a contribution to guiding them in forming self identities and expressing themselves confidently through clothing. This research was based on 452 copies of questionnaires distributed to middle and high school students living in Seoul and other metropolitan areas from the middle of March to the beginning of April, 2008. The results were as follows. First, there was a significant difference in clothing color preference and clothing color tone preference between male students and female students. Second, the factor analysis which has been performed by taking assimilation, individuality, recognition, and image management as composing dimensions of self expression desire shows significant differences between these dimensions. Third, the difference in the self expression desires according to clothing color preference showed that the group preferring cool colors and the group preferring warm colors possessed the same highest self expression desires. And, it was revealed that the clothing color preference was a significant variable influencing fashion interest. Fourth, the effect of self expression desire on the fashion interest degree showed that recognition was the most significant factor and image management was the next.

The Association between Skin Characteristics and Skin Cancer Prevention Behaviors

Behaviors such as sunscreen use and wearing sun-protective clothing are thought to prevent certain types of skin cancer and precancerous lesions, but few studies have examined differences in these prevention behaviors by skin type. We carried out a cross-sectional study (n = 6,858) nested within a community-based prospective cohort in Washington County, Maryland. We measured the associations between skin type, complexion, freckling, and eye color, and sunscreen and sun-protective clothing use. The prevalence of regular sunscreen use was 23% and regular sun-protective clothing use was 21%. There were consistent trends indicating those with the most sun-sensitive skin type were most likely to engage in prevention behaviors. For example, compared with those who tan without burning, those who develop blistering sunburns were more likely to use sunscreen [odds ratio (OR), 6.04; 95% confidence interval (95% CI), 2.82-12.95 men; OR, 4.89; 95% CI, 3.34-7.16 women] and sun-protective clothing (OR, 2.87; 95% CI, 1.71-4.80 men; OR, 4.44; 95% CI, 2.88-6.85 women). Health-related characteristics such as body mass index and cigarette smoking were also significantly inversely associated with prevention behaviors. The overall prevalence of prevention behaviors was low. Those with phenotypic risk factors for skin cancer were most likely to use sunscreen and sun-protective clothing. Those with high-risk skin cancer phenotypes may also be those who are most receptive to skin cancer prevention educational interventions.

Reliable people tracking approach for mobile robot in indoor environments

There is a great challenge that a mobile robot reliably and continuously tracks a specific person in indoor environments. In this paper, a novel method is presented, which can effectively recognize and reliably track a target person based on mobile robot vision. Gabor wavelet and hidden Markov model (HMM) are firstly employed for identifying the target person. In order to effectively track the specific person and reduce the computational cost in tracking stage, horizontal-projecting probability histogram (HPPH) of upper body color clothes region is proposed for extracting the pattern features, which significantly improves the tracking reliability and, at the same time, unscented particle filter (UPF) is integrated and PID operator is introduced for controlling the robot to follow the person. Experimental results validate the robustness and the reliability of this approach.

Characteristics of Color Produced by Awa Natural Indigo and Synthetic Indigo

Color of cloth dyed with Awa natural indigo is quantitatively compared with color of the cloth dyed with synthetic indigo. Results showed that: 1) color produced by Awa natural indigo is bluer and brighter than color produced by synthetic indigo; 2) a single Gaussian function fits the profile of the running of color produced by Awa natural indigo and the running of color produced by synthetic indigo prepared with sodium hydrosulfite approximates a linear sum of two Gaussian functions; 3) before and after washing, color is quantitatively more uneven when produced by Awa natural indigo than when produced by synthetic indigo; 4) the diffusion coefficient of Awa natural indigo is lower than that of synthetic indigo; 5) color superiority of Awa natural indigo relates to smaller diffusion coefficient, slower reduction, poorer penetration, and higher dye aggregation.

VIDEO-BASED FACE RECOGNITION AND TRACKING FROM A ROBOT COMPANION

This paper deals with video-based face recognition and tracking from a camera mounted on a mobile robot companion. All persons must be logically identified before being authorized to interact with the robot while continuous tracking is compulsory in order to estimate the person's approximate position. A first contribution relates to experiments of still-image-based face recognition methods in order to check which image projection and classifier associations give the highest performance of the face database acquired from our robot. Our approach, based on Principal Component Analysis (PCA) and Support Vector Machines (SVM) improved by genetic algorithm optimization of the free-parameters, is found to outperform conventional appearance-based holistic classifiers (eigenface and Fisherface) which are used as benchmarks. Relative performances are analyzed by means of Receiver Operator Characteristics which systematically provide optimized classifier free-parameter settings. Finally, for the SVM-based classifier, we propose a non-dominated sorting genetic algorithm to obtain optimized free-parameter settings. The second and central contribution is the design of a complete still-to-video face recognition system, dedicated to the previously identified person, which integrates face verification, as intermittent features, and shape and clothing color, as persistent cues, in a robust and probabilistically motivated way. The particle filtering framework, is well-suited to this context as it facilitates the fusion of different measurement sources. Automatic target recovery, after full occlusion or temporally disappearance from the field of view, is provided by positioning the particles according to face classification probabilities in the importance function. Moreover, the multi-cue fusion in the measurement function proves to be more reliable than any other individual cues. Evaluations on key-sequences acquired by the robot during long-term operations in crowded and continuously changing indoor environments demonstrate the robustness of the tracker against such natural settings. Mixing all these cues makes our video-based face recognition system work under a wide range of conditions encountered by the robot during its movements. The paper concludes with a discussion of possible extensions.

실물사진과 컴퓨터그림에 의한 남성 캐주얼웨어 이미지 지각 연구

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of the types and the colors of men's casual wear, hairstyles, and the methods of stimulus manufacture on men's image perception. The subjects were 360 women from the metropolitan area of Seoul. The clothing types used for the study were a sweater and a jumper(casual jacket) with jean pants. The clothing colors were beige, indigo, and red. Two hairstyles, the short and the medium length hairs, were compared. Two types of stimuli, the photograph and the computer simulation picture, were used. The results of the factor analysis disclosed five dimensions on men's image: neatness, individuality, ability, activity, and sociability. In general, the photograph stimuli were evaluated more positively in activity, individuality, and sociability than the picture stimuli. The sweaters were perceived higher in ability, activity, and sociability than the jumpers. The Indigo color was evaluated as neat. The medium length hairstyles were perceived as neat and the short hairstyles were perceived as sociable. The jumpers were evaluated lower in individuality in the picture stimuli than in the photograph stimuli. The beige and indigo colors were evaluated to be neater in the picture stimuli than in the photograph. When using the picture stimuli, the men's image wearing the sweaters with the medium length hairstyles were evaluated lower in individuality. When using the photograph stimuli, the men's image wearing the sweater with the short hairstyles were evaluated higher in activity. Men's image wearing the indigo jumper and the beige sweater with medium length hairs were evaluated as high in neatness.

Mystical State, Beautiful Dance --- Annotating Charm of Southeast Asian Dances

The Southeast Asia dance rhythm to be slow, expresses feelings, exquisitely, the gentle rhythm, grows perceptibly free and easy beautifully. It has congeals builds up, the summary, the embodiment to contain, romantically and so on artistic characteristics. Must appreciate Southeast Asia to dance, should better have such elementary knowledge: Should understand the Indian two big epic poems: “Romania and Morocco spread out that”, “Morocco to scold husband's mother Luo to be many”, with Buddhism, Hinduism's elementary knowledge. Because this area is the religious country, believes Buddhism most, believes in Islamism individually. This area's traditional dance’s story content has a lot to do with the Indian epic poem, and the Buddhism story concerns. If has mastered the above knowledge, as soon as in these dance's character enters the stage, so long as pays attention listens to music, to look carefully the mask and comes up the distinguish from clothing's color, apparent role status.

2006 F/W 런던/파리, 뉴욕, 서울 크로스 컬쳐럴 스트릿 패션 고찰

The purpose of this study was to identify differences or similarities across the ensembles of 2006 F/W fashion trends in the big fashion centers such as Paris, London, New York, and Seoul, by street fashion research. The study focuses on understanding of localized fashion trend in the marketplace. We used photograph observation and analyzed data by SPSS program. We found there is a significant difference in winter outfits at these different global fashion mega cities. Most Korean women were wearing light colored outer jackets and blue jeans were dominant style for pants. The majority of Paris/London, New York and Seoul people on the street were wearing wool/wool like coat. Padded coats were worn more by New Yorkers than by people in Seoul. For the bottom, there is a similarity between Paris/London, and New York City, in that skinny pants were popular. Koreans were wearing skinny pants mostly, but the percentage of mini skirts/shorts was also higher than any other cities. We found that the cross-cultural fashion mega trend is similar in clusters, but there is a slight difference of trend in clothing color, style and design details, and accessories by localized fashion cities. Not only direct observation but also identification of cultural characteristics and consumer behavior through the years will bring much more contributions to apparel industries.

A computer‐assisted colour selection system based on aesthetic measure for colour harmony and fuzzy logic theory

AbstractAn aesthetic measure based approach for constructing a colour design/selection system is proposed in this article. In this model, an image data base for the relationships between the psychological preference of customers and clothing colour tones is built using the membership functions of a fuzzy set, and an aesthetic measure calculation method based on colour harmony is also proposed. In addition, a skin colour detection theory is proposed to construct a skin colour detection program to detect the skin colour of a customer, which is then taken as the major colour in matching the skin, polo shirt, and(or) pant colours to select the best colour combination. Integrating the skin colour detection theory, colour harmony theory, aesthetic measure method, and fuzzy set theory, a program is constructed to build an aesthetic measure based colour design/selection system. With the aid of this system, one can get proper cloth colours to match his/her skin colour and image requirement by starting with inputting one's colour photo, catching image with a camera, or inputting R, G, B values of his/her skin. The theoretical results for the ranks of clothing colours proposed by the system are examined with the experimental results and the result shows they are very close, suggesting that the proposed colour selection system is acceptable. Although the selection of clothing colours is taken as an example to specify the methodology, it can also be used to develop a system for other products. © 2008 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

폐쇄회로 카메라에서 운동에너지를 이용한 모션인식과 의상색상 및 얼굴인식을 통한 특정인 추적 알고리즘

특정인을 추적하는 기술은 인간처럼 행동하는 로봇기술에서 가장 많이 등장하는 기술이다. 이 기술은 세 가지 영역에서 접근하고 있는데 첫 째가 특정인의 의상 색상이고 두 번째가 특정인의 얼굴과 그 표정이며 세 번째가 특정인의 제스처나 머리의 움직임이다. 그러나 로봇은 센서를 통해 색상이나 제스처를 감지할 수 있기 때문에 폐쇄회로 카메라를 통해 획득한 영상만으로 특정인을 추적하는 것과는 다르다. 폐쇄회로 카메라에서 가장 큰 문제점은 시스템 속도인데 입력된 영상에서 다시 계산에 의해 특정인을 추적하기위해서는 계산수를 줄여야한다. 시스템 속도를 높이기 위해 색상 추적은 통계치를 사용하는 것이 좋고 얼굴인식은 고유 얼굴을 사용하는 것이 바람직하다. 색상과 얼굴인식만으로는 추적에 어려움이 있기 때문에 모션 분석이 필요하다. 기존의 모션 분석이 주어진 영상의 전체 영역에서 형상을 바탕으로 이루어지기 때문에 속도가 느리고 인식률도 떨어진다. 본 논문에서는 얼굴 인식 시 찾아진 얼굴영역에 대한 모션분석을 계산속도가 빠른 운동에너지를 써서 인식률과 인식 속도를 높였다. 본 논문이 제안한 알고리즘과 Girondel, V. 등이 제시한 방법을 같은 동영상에서 실험한 결과 동일한 인식률을 얻었으며 인식속도는 제안한 알고리즘이 더 빨랐으며 LDA를 사용할 경우 속도는 비슷하나 인식률은 더 나은 결과를 얻었으며 특정인을 찾는 것은 제안한 알고리즘이 더 효과적이었다. It is well known that the tracking a certain person is a vary needed technic in the humanoid robot. In robot technic, we should consider three aspects that is cloth color matching, face recognition and motion analysis. Because a robot technic use some sensors, it is many different with the robot technic to track a certain person through the CCTV images. A system speed should be fast in CCTV images, hence we must have small calculation numbers. We need the statistical variable for color matching and we adapt the eigen-face for face recognition to speed up the system. In this situation, motion analysis have to added for the propose of the efficient detecting system. But, in many motion analysis systems, the speed and the recognition rate is low because the system operates on the all image area. In this paper, we use the moving energy only on the face area which is searched when the face recognition is processed, since the moving energy has low calculation numbers. When the proposed algorithm has been compared with Girondel, V. et al's method for experiment, we obtained same recognition rate as Girondel, V., the speed of the proposed algorithm was the more faster. When the LDA has been used, the speed was same and the recognition rate was better than Girondel, V.'s method, consequently the proposed algorithm is more efficient for tracking a certain person.

A Study on Exterior Features and Characteristics of Gloves in the Modern Fashion

This study is on the characteristics of gloves in the modern fashion and has the purpose to review the style and the feature of gloves coordinated with clothes variously. The study started firstly with reviewing the related literature for the information of the origin, the process of development and the sort of gloves and then verified the results with photographs in the fashion magazines and collections at home and abroad since 1990s. The first characteristic is utility. Lining and covered materials use the materials excellent for keeping warm as the original purpose of wearing gloves is to protect hands against cold weather. It is demonstrated in the fashion collections that coordinating sieves appeals more often in fall-winter season than in spring-summer season. The second is sense of fashion. Gloves are normally coordinated with same materials and colors of clothes. But, gloves could create infinite varieties, make sufficient images through stressing splendid colors on achromatic colored clothes, shaping unique styles, transforming with various materials and ornaments. The last is sense of deconstruction. Gloves are transformed as a sort of clothes beyond the original use. Gloves are coordinated transcending the conventional thoughts, which makes it possible that Stoves appear in summer season, not in winter. Coordinating gloves appears free and unique through atypical formation.

A Comparison of the Relationship between Color of Wearing Clothes and Fashion Consciousness in Japan and Korea

On the basis of a color of clothes, we analyzed a psychological/a sensibility factor of a person, and studied the relationship between consciousness of wearer and phenomenon of wearing clothes both in Japan and Korea. The Koreans tended to wear clothes in high chroma, whereas the Japanese those in low chroma. They made a great difference in consciousness related to self-revelation, expectation for approval by others, and self-expression with clothes. The color of their wearing clothes in high chroma in Korea seems to be related to strong exhibitionism expressing their personality. On the other hand, the Japanese tend to wear subdued clothes in the low value and chroma, so that they might not stand out or give impact on others, because they have the strong senses of willingness to be accepted by the society, society model characteristics to mind how another person looks, and group model characteristics to want to be the same as others. Through this research, we were able to connect a color of clothes with fashion awareness.
