For on-line signature verification, the local shape of a signature is an important information. The current approaches, in which signatures are represented into a function of time or a feature vector without regarding of local shape, have not used the various features of local shapes, for example, local variation of a signer, local complexity of signature or local difficulty of forger, and etc. In this paper, we propose a new technique for on-line signature verification based on a structural signature representation so as to analyze local shape and to make a selection of important local parts in matching process. That is. based on a structural representation of signature, a technique of important of local weighting and personalized decision threshold is newly introduced and its experimental results under different conditions are compared.

In this paper, we propose an adaptive noise detection and modified Gaussian removal algorithm using local statistics for impulse noise. In order to determine constraints for noise detection, the local mean, variance, and maximum values are used. In addition, a modified Gaussian filter that integrates the tuning parameter to remove the detected noises. Experimental results show that our method is significantly better than a number of existing techniques in terms of image restoration and noise detection.

The axial local regression rate of solid fuel of hybrid rocket is one of important parameter for a design and performance. Steeping method is simple and measure a corrcet regression rate of axial direction not being relevant to a shape of fuel and physical characteristics. In this study, the problem of other measuring equipment was improved and this linear steeping method is provide higher accuracy than the other.

This paper presents a segmental scheme for regions-composed images in local normalization process. The scheme is based on local statistics computed through a moving window. The normalization algorithm uses linear or nonlinear functions to transfer the pixel distribution and the homogeneous affine of regions which is corrupted by additive noise. It adjusts the mean and standard deviation for nearest-neighbor interpoint distance between current and the normalized image signals and changes the segmentation performance according to local statistics and parameter variation adaptively. The performance of newly advanced local normalization algorithm is evaluated and compared to the performance of conventional normalization methods. Experimental results are presented to show the region segmentation properties of these approaches.

This paper presents an adaptive non-local means denoising algorithm using down-scaled images. This work provides a method to reduce artifacts and information loss around context region by increasing the number of similar patches for high activity region with down-scaled images. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed algorithm outperforms the non-local means algorithm more than 1.5 (dB).

교각 주위에서의 국부세굴은 교각을 지나는 유체의 복잡한 흐름에 의해 발생한다. 이를 해석하기 위하여 많은 난류모형을 이용한 실내실험 및 수치실험을 수행하였으나 발생하는 와류를 하천 규모에서 전부 계산하기는 매우 어려운 문제다. 따라서 국부세굴 관련으로 최대 관심사인 최대 세굴심은 인공지능 기술에 근거한 다양한 기법을 적용해 계산하여 예측하기도 한다. 본 연구에서는 기계학습 분야 중 하나인 서포트 벡터 머신 (Support Vector Machines)을 이용하여 교각주위 국부세굴을 예측하였다. SVM은 본래 초평면을 이용하여 데이터를 분류시키는 기법이나 Vapnik(1995)이 제안한 ${\varepsilon}$ 서포트 벡터 회귀 (${\varepsilon}$-support vector regression)방법을 통해 회귀분석에도 활용할 수 있게 되었다. 학습을 위해 Charbert and Engeldinger (1956), Shen et al. (1969), Jain and Fischer (1979), 그리고 Dey et al. (1995)의 실험 자료를 이용하였고 검증을 위해 Yanmaz and Altinbilek (1991)의 실험 자료를 이용하였다. 커널함수로는 다항식 함수와 방사 기저 함수를 이용하였고 각 계수는 적합한 값을 찾기 위해 시행착오법을 사용하였다. 민감도 분석을 통해 각 계수들 중 ${\varepsilon}$의 변화가 결과에 가장 민감하게 변화를 일으키는 것을 확인하였고 검증 결과 SVM가 충분히 국부세굴을 잘 예측하는 것을 확인하였다.

The performance of face recognition methods using subspace projection is directly related to the characteristics of their basis images, especially in the cases of local distortion or partial occlusion. In order for a subspace projection method to be robust to local distortion and partial occlusion, the basis images generated by the method should exhibit a part-based local representation. We propose an effective part-based local representation method named locally salient ICA (LS-ICA) method for face recognition that is robust to local distortion and partial occlusion. The LS-ICA method only employs locally salient information from important facial parts in order to maximize the benefit of applying the idea of 'recognition by parts.' It creates part-based local basis images by imposing additional localization constraint in the process of computing ICA architecture I basis images. We have contrasted the LS-ICA method with other part-based representations such as LNMF (Localized Non-negative Matrix Factorization) and LFA (Local Feature Analysis). Experimental results show that the LS-ICA method performs better than PCA, ICA architecture I, ICA architectureII, LFA, and LNMF methods, especially in the cases of partial occlusions and local distortions.

This paper presents a non-local means (NLM) denoising algorithm based on a new weighting function using a mixed norm. The fidelity of the difference between an anchor patch and the reference patch in the NLM denoising depends on noise level and local activity. This paper introduces a new weighting function based on a mixed norm type of which the order is determined by noise level and local activity of an anchor patch, so that the performance of the NLM denoising can be enhanced. Experimental results demonstrate the objective and subjective capability of the proposed algorithm. In addition, it was verified that the proposed algorithm can be used to improve the performance of the other $l_2$ norm based non-local means denoising algorithms

This paper presents a human motion recognition method using both centroid shift and local basis images. The centroid shift based on 1st moment balance technique is applied to get the robust motion images against position or size changes, the extraction of local basis images based on independent component analysis(ICA) is also applied to find a set of statistically independent motion features, which is included in each motions. Especially, ICA of fixed-point(FP) algorithm based on Newton method is used for being quick to extract a local basis images of motions. The proposed method has been applied to the problem for recognizing the 160(1 person * 10 animals * 16 motions) sign language motion images of 240*215 pixels. The 3 distances such as city-block, Euclidean, negative angle are used as measures when match the probe images to the nearest gallery images. The experimental results show that the proposed method has a superior recognition performances(speed, rate) than the method using local eigen images and the method using local basis images without centroid shift respectively.

The aim of this study is to identify the locations at which local wall thinning occurs and to determine the turbulence coefficients related to local wall thinning. Experiments and numerical analyses of the tee sections of different down-scaled piping components were performed and the results were compared. Numerical analyses of full-scale models of actual plants were performed in order to simulate the flow behaviors inside the piping components. In order to determine the relationship between the turbulence coefficients and the rate of local wall thinning, numerical analyses of the tee components in the main feedwater systems were performed. The turbulence coefficients obtained from the numerical analyses were compared with the local wear rate obtained from the measurement data. From the comparison of the results, the vertical flow velocity component (Vr) flowing to the wall after separating in the wall due to the geometrical configuration and colliding with the wall directly at an angle of some degree was analogous to the configuration of local wall thinning.
