Abstract
In this research, we propose a color extraction method for deciding the best color threshold to remove
noises except an ellipse target object selected by human from color static image obtained by an omnidirectional
camera. In this method, the automatic tuning of color extraction threshold is performed by genetic algorithm
(GA) that searches the best color threshold according to the color information in the area selected by human.
We report experimental results with the threshold information before or aftar GA search. By these experimental
results, the performance of proposed color extraction method are also evaluated by comparing the extraction
result by human to GA.
