Abstract

This paper discusses a graphic user interface(GUI) for the concealed target segmentation. The human subject hiding a metal gun is captured by the passive millimeter wave(MMW) imaging system. The imaging system operates on the regime of 8 mm wavelength. The MMW image is analyzed by the multi-level segmentation to segment and identify a concealed weapon under clothing. The histogram of the passive MMW image is modeled with the Gaussian mixture distribution. LBG vector quantization(VQ) and expectation and maximization(EM) algorithms are sequentially applied to segment the body and the object area. In the experiment, the GUI is implemented by the MFC(Microsoft Foundation Class) and the OpenCV(Computer Vision) libraries and tested in real-time showing the efficiency of the system.

본 논문에서 8mm 파장영역에서 획득한 수동형 밀리미터파 영상을 이용하여 위험물체를 은닉한 대상으로부터 금속표적(권총)을 자동으로 분할하고 식별하는 실시간 그래픽 사용자 인터페이스(Graphic User Interface)를 구현한다. 은닉된 표적의 분할 방법은 다단계 영상 분할 방법을 이용한다. 다단계 영상 분할의 각 단계는 밀리미터파 영상의 히스토그램을 가우시안 혼합 모델(Gaussian Mixture Model)로 가정하고 LBG 양자화(Vector-Quantization)과 추정(Expectation)-최대화(Maximization) 알고리즘으로 구성된다. 첫 번째 단계에서 배경으로부터 몸체 영역을 분할하고 두 번째 단계에서 몸체로부터 은닉된 물체 영역을 순차적으로 분할한다. 실험 및 시뮬레이션에서는 그래픽 사용자 인터페이스 프로그램을 이용하여 분석된 결과를 보여준다.
