We Propose a new feature normalization scheme based on eigenspace for achieving robust speech recognition. In general, mean and variance normalization (MVN) is Performed in cepstral domain. However, another MVN approach using eigenspace was recently introduced. in that the eigenspace normalization Procedure Performs normalization in a single eigenspace. This Procedure consists of linear PCA matrix feature transformation followed by mean and variance normalization of the transformed cepstral feature. In this method. 39 dimensional feature distribution is represented using only a single eigenspace. However it is observed to be insufficient to represent all data distribution using only a sin91e eigenvector. For more specific representation. we apply unique na independent eigenspaces to cepstra, delta and delta-delta cepstra respectively in this Paper. We also normalize training data in eigenspace and get the model from the normalized training data. Finally. a feature space rotation procedure is introduced to reduce the mismatch of training and test data distribution in noisy condition. As a result, we obtained a substantial recognition improvement over the basic eigenspace normalization.

본 논문은 주성분 분석으로 시점 기반 고유얼굴(view-based eigenface)을 생성하고, 그에 기반한 얼굴 인식을 수행하고자 한다. 주성분 분석을 통한 고유얼굴 생성은 얼굴 인식의 어려운 문제 중 하나인 특징 선택과 추출이라는 문제를 해결해 준다. 또한 얼굴 표정이나 방향의 변화에도 인식률이 저하되는 것을 방지할 수 있다. 얼굴 영상을 특징공간(고유공간)으로 변환할 때, 원 얼굴영상의 정보를 최대한으로 나타낼 수 있는 최적의 고유치 개수 선택은 얼굴 데이터베이스의 크기와 인식 속도에 영향을 끼친다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 고유치 개수를 고유치의 누적기여율을 이용해서 구한다. 이는 64$\times$64(=4096)차원의 원 얼굴 영상을 5~7차원으로 표현 가능하게 하였다. 그리고, 각 얼굴 방향에 따라 특징공간을 분리해서 생성함으로써 얼굴 방향의 변화에 따라 오인식률을 줄였다. 축소된 차원과 분리된 특징공간은 메모리 사용과 인식속도의 향상에 기여한다. 본 논문에서 얼굴의 인식은 Mahalanobis distance와 재구성 오차율을 고려해서 이루어졌다. 실험은 개인당 세가지 다른 방향을 가지는 얼굴 영상을 이용하여 이루어졌고, 실험결과, 약 93%의 인식률을 보여주었다.

The popular eigenfaces-based face recognition among proposed face recognition methods utilizes the eigenfaces obtained from applying PCA to a training face image set. Thus, it may not achieve a reliable performance under illumination environments different from that of training face images. In this paper, we propose an illumination-separate eigenfaces-based face recognition method, which excludes the effects of illumination as much as possible. The proposed method utilizes the illumination-separate eigenfaces which is obtained by orthogonal decomposition of the eigenface space of face model image set with respect to the constructed face illumination subspace. Through experiments, it is shown that the proposed face recognition method based on the illumination-separate eigenfaces performs more robustly under various illumination environments than the conventional eigenfaces-based face recognition method.

Robust face recognition under various illumination environments is difficult to achieve. For robust face recognition with respect to illumination variations, illumination normalization of face images is usually applied as a preprocessing step. Most of previously proposed illumination normalization methods cannot handle cast shadows in face images effectively. In this paper, We propose a new face illumination normalization method based on the illumination-separated face identity texture subspace. Since the face identity texture subspace is constructed so as to be separated from the effects of illumination variations, the projection of face images into the subspace produces a good illumination-normalized face images. Through experiments, it is shown that the proposed face illumination normalization method can effectively eliminate cast shadows as well as attached shadows and achieves a good face illumination normalization.

Robust face recognition under various illumination environments is difficult to achieve. For face recognition robust to illumination changes, usually face images are normalized with respect to illumination as a preprocessing step before face recognition. The anisotropic smoothing-based illumination normalization method, known to be one of the best illumination normalization methods, cannot handle casting shadows. In this paper, we present an efficient illumination normalization method for face recognition. The proposed illumination normalization method separates the effect of illumination from eigenfaces and constructs an illumination-separated eigenface subspace. Then, an incoming face image is projected into the subspace and the obtained projected face image is rendered so that illumination effects including casting shadows are reduced as much as possible. Application to real face images shows the proposed illumination normalization method.

Weak target detection and localization in the presence of loud surface ship noise is a critical problem for matched field processing (MFP) in shallow water. For stationary sources, each signal component of received signal can be separated and interference can be suppressed using eigen space analysis schemes. However, source motion, in realistic cases, causes spreading of signal energies in their subspace. In this case, eigenvalues of target and interfere signal components are mixed and hard to be separated with usual phone space eigenvector decomposition (EVD) approaches. Our technique is based on mode space and utilizes the difference in their physical characteristics of surface and submerged sources. Performing EVD for modal cross spectral density matrix, interference components in the mode amplitude subspace can be classified and eliminated. This technique is demonstrated with synthetic data, and results are discussed.

Reliable face recognition under various illumination environments is essential for successful commercialization. Feature-based face recognition relies on a good choice of feature vectors. Gabor feature vectors are known to be more robust to variations of pose and illumination than any other feature vectors so that they are popularly adopted for face recognition. However, they are not completely independent of illuminations. In this paper, we propose an illumination-robust face recognition method based on the Gabor feature vector illumination PCA model. We first construct the Gabor feature vector illumination PCA model where Gator feature vector space is rendered to be decomposed into two orthogonal illumination subspace and face identity subspace. Since the Gabor feature vectors obtained by projection into the face identity subspace are separated from illumination, the face recognition utilizing them becomes more robust to illumination. Through experiments, it is shown that the proposed face recognition based on Gabor feature vector illumination PCA model performs more reliably under various illumination and Pose environments.

가상공간에서 탑승자에게 운동감을 제공하기 위해서 수많은 형태의 모션 시뮬레이터가 개발되어 왔다. 하지만 이러한 형태의 시뮬레이터들은 그 고유한 형태에 의해 정해진 동역학과 워시아웃 알고리즘을 거쳐야만 정밀한 시뮬레이터가 될 수 있다. 본 논문은 기존의 좁은 시야공간에서의 시뮬레이터가 아닌 넓은 시야를 제시하고, 모션 베이스와 독립적으로 운영되는 영상 제시기를 이용하여 탑승자에게 운동감을 제공하는 분리형 시뮬레이터를 대상으로 하여 영상과 모션을 동기화시켜서 제시하는 방법에 대해 논의하고자 한다.

1D PCA utilized in the face appearance-based face recognition methods such as eigenface-based face recognition method may lead to less face representative power and more computational cost due to the resulting 1D face appearance data vector of high dimensionality. To resolve such problems of 1D PCA, 2D PCA-based face recognition methods had been developed. However, the face representation model obtained by direct application of 2D PCA to a face image set includes both face common features and face distinctive identity features. Face common features not only prevent face recognizability but also cause more computational cost. In this paper, we first develope a model of a face distinctive identity feature subspace separated from the effects of face common features in the face feature space obtained by application of 2D PCA analysis. Then, a novel robust face recognition based on the face distinctive identity feature subspace model is proposed. The proposed face recognition method based on the face distinctive identity feature subspace shows better performance than the conventional PCA-based methods (1D PCA-based one and 2D PCA-based one) with respect to recognition rate and processing time since it depends only on the face distinctive identity features. This is verified through various experiments using Yale A and IMM face database consisting of face images with various face poses under various illumination conditions.
