A new concept is introduced to extract the essential and distinct characteristics of images by means of smart image processing. The key idea is to introduce the eigen pattern, which consists of intensity, tone and color component of a digital image.
A color graphics image on two-dimensional plane is represented by a set of the pixels containing the red, green and blue color information, and represented by geometrical arrangement of intensity, tone and color component. Thereby, color graphics images depend on their resolution and the spatial position on the screen.
The eigen pattern removes the location, angle and size information on the screen, and extracts the essential characteristics of images. We apply the notion of eigen pattern to image cognition by means of smart image processing. As a result, we have succeeded in cognizing images exactly.
