This paper presents a new approach to translation and rotation invariant feature extraction for image texture retrieval. For the rotation invariant feature extraction, we invent angular projection along angular frequency in Polar coordinate system. The translation and rotation invariant feature vector for representing texture images is constructed by the averaged magnitude and the standard deviations of the magnitude of the Fourier transform spectrum obtained by the proposed angular projection. In order to easily implement the angular projection, the Radon transform is employed to obtain the Fourier transform spectrum of images in the Polar coordinate system. Then, angular projection is applied to extract the feature vector. We present our experimental results to show the robustness against the image rotation and the discriminatory capability for different texture images using MPEG-7 data set. Our Experiment result shows that the proposed rotation and translation invariant feature vector is effective in retrieval performance for the texture images with homogeneity, isotropy and local directionality.

In this paper, a new character segmentation algorithm of machine printed character recognition is proposed. The new approach of the proposed character segmentation algorithm overcomes the weak points of both feature-based approaches and recognition-based approaches in character segmentation. This paper defines side profiles of touching characters. The character segmentation algorithm gives a candidate single character in touching characters by side profiles, without any help of character recognizer. It segments touching characters and decides the candidate single character by side profiles. This paper also defines cutting cost, which makes the proposed character segmentation find an optimal segmenting path. The performance of the proposed character segmentation algorithm in this paper has been obtained using a real envelope reader system, which can recognize addresses in U.S. mail pieces and sort the mail pieces. 3359 mail pieces were tested. The improvement was from $68.92\%\;to\;80.08\%$ by the proposed character segmentation.

본 논문에서는 음성 신호를 이용해서 화자의 감정을 인식하기 위해 3가지 시스템을 구축하고 이들의 성능을 비교해 보았다. 인식 대상으로 하는 감정은 기쁨, 슬픔, 화남, 두려움, 지루함, 평상시의 감정이고, 각 감정에 대한 감정 음성 데이터베이스를 직접 구축하였다. 피치와 에너지 정보를 감성 인식의 특징으로 이용하였고, 인식 알고리듬은 MLB(Maximum-Likelihood Bayes)분류기, NN(Nearest Neighbor)분류기 및 HMM(Hidden Markov Model)분류기를 이용하였다. 이 중 MLB 분류기와 NN 분류기에서는 특징벡터로 피치와 에너지의 평균과 표준편차, 최대값 등 통계적인 정보를 이용하였고, TMM 분류기에서는 각 프레임에서의 델타 피치와 델타델타 피치, 델타 에너지와 델타델타 에너지 등 시간적 정보를 이용하였다. 실험은 화자종속, 문장독립형 방식으로 하였고, 인식 실험 결과는 MLB를 이용해서 $68.9\%, NN을 이용해서 $66.7\%를 얻었고, HMM 분류기를 이용해서 $89.30\%를 얻었다.

The simultaneous operation of multiple UAV's makes it possible for us to raise the mission accomplishment and cost efficiency. For this we need an easily scalable control algorithm, and swarm intelligence having the characteristics such as flexibility, robustness, decentralized control and self-organization comes into the spotlight as a practical substitute. In this paper the features of swarm intelligence are described, and various research results are introduced which show that the application of swarm intelligence to the control of multiple UAV's enables the missions of surveillance, path planning, target tracking and attack to be accomplished efficiently by simulations and tests.

The algorithm developed in this paper allows us to generate or synthesize a large amount of data sets using only a small amount of signal features obtained from the original data set. Because the simulated density profiles of yarns retain the original features without a significant loss of information on the location of imperfections, the resulting fabric images are likely to resemble the original images. The data expansion system developed could generate a large area of fabric images by combining the Monte Carlo simulation and the wavelet sub-band exchange algorithm developed. The system has proven effective for simulating realistic fabric images by retaining the location of imperfections such as neps, thin and thick places.

This paper describes a method for making the "disparity pattern" which is basis of image matching with brightness difference; called disparity, between multiple model images, and an algorithm which recognizes hand shape by utilizing the pattern in measuring the distance between a input image and model images. The virtue of the algorithm is that only simple brightness difference calculated from multiple images by managing a whole image as the fundamental processing unit is patterned in two dimensional shape and then is used in the recognition process. Consequently, this method is very useful for other recognition algorithm requiring comparison of large scale image since correlation among multiple model images is applied simultaneously in recognition process.

This paper proposes an automatic equalizer control method in automobile audio system. The proposed method discriminates the music segment from the consecutive real-time audio stream of the radio and the equalizer is controlled automatically according to the classified genre of the music segment. For enhancing the accuracy of the music genre classification in real-time, timbre feature and rhythm feature extracted from the consecutive audio stream is applied to GMM(Gaussian mixture model) classifier. The proposed method evaluates the performance of the music genre classification, which classified various audio segments segmented from the audio signal of the radio broadcast in automobile audio system into one of five music genres.

Fault diagnosis and condition monitoring for rotating machines are important for efficiency and accident prevention. The process of fault diagnosis is to extract the feature of signals and to classify each state. Conventionally, fault diagnosis has been developed by combining signal processing techniques for spectral analysis and pattern recognition, however these methods are not able to diagnose correctly for certain rotating machines and some faulty phenomena. In this paper, we add a minimum detection error algorithm to the previous method to reduce detection error rate. Vibration signals of the induction motor are measured and divided into subband signals. Each subband signal is processed to obtain the RMS, standard deviation and the statistic data for constructing the feature extraction vectors. We make a study of the fault diagnosis system that the feature extraction vectors are applied to K-means clustering algorithm and minimum detection error algorithm.

In this paper, we propose the algorithm for making panoramic background and object tacking using pan-tilt-zoom camera. We draw an analogy relation between images for cylinder projection, rearrange of images, stitching, and blending. We can then make the panoramic background, and can track the object use the panoramic background. After generated the background, the proposed algorithm tracks the moving object. Therefore it can detect the wide area, and it tracks the object continuously. So the proposed algorithm is able to use at wide area to detect and track the object.
