Abstract

Color histograms have been used as feature vectors to characterize the color features of given images, but they have a limitation in efficiency by generating high-dimensional feature vectors. In this paper, we present a method to reduce the dimension of the feature vectors by applying PCA (principal components analysis) to the color histogram of a given vehicle image. With SVM (support vector machine) method, the dimension-reduced feature vectors are used to recognize the colors of vehicles. After reducing the dimension of the feature vector by a factor of 32, the successful recognition rate is reduced only 1.42% compared to the case when we use original feature vectors. Moreover, the computation time for the color recognition is reduced by a factor of 31, so we could recognize the colors efficiently.
