본 논문에서는 접촉된 숫자들에 대한 효과적인 분할 기반 인식 방법을 제안하였다. 접촉 숫자들을 연결획 정보와 분할 후보점을 기반으로 여섯 개의 접촉 유형으로 구분하였다. 전체 후보 분할점을 해석하여 네 개의 최종 후보 분할점을 도출하므로써 과 분할로 인한 오인식을 줄일 수 있도록 하였다. 이 방법에서는 다수의 분할 후보점으로부터 신뢰성이 높은 소규모의 분할 후보점들에 대해 우선권을 부여하는 방식으로 최종 분할 후보점들을 찾고 인식을 시도하기 때문에 전통적으로 분할기반 방식의 인식에서 초래되는 오분할에 의한 치명적인 오인식률을 줄일 수 있도록 하였다. NIST 접촉숫자 데이터 베이스에 대한 실험 결과 92.5%의 비교적 높은 인식 성능을 얻을 수 있었다.

In this paper, we propose an HMM(Hidden Markov modeJ)-MLP(Multi-layer perceptron) hybrid model for recognizing legal words on the English bank check. We adopt an explicit segmentation-based word level architecture to implement an HMM engine with nonscaled and non-normalized symbol vectors. We also introduce an MLP for implicit segmentation-based word recognition. The final recognition model consists of a hybrid combination of the HMM and MLP with a new hybrid probability measure. The main contributions of this model are a novel design of the segmentation-based variable length HMMs and an efficient method of combining two heterogeneous recognition engines. ExperimenLs have been conducted using the legal word database of CENPARMI with encouraging results.

In vision-based interfaces for video games, gestures are used as commands of the games instead of pressing down a keyboard or a mouse. In these Interfaces, unintentional movements and continuous gestures have to be permitted to give a user more natural interface. For this problem, this paper proposes a novel gesture spotting method that combines spotting with recognition. It recognizes the meaningful movements concurrently while separating unintentional movements from a given image sequence. We applied our method to the recognition of the upper-body gestures for interfacing between a video game (Quake II) and its user. Experimental results show that the proposed method is on average $93.36\%$ in spotting gestures from continuous gestures, confirming its potential for a gesture-based interface for computer games.

MR 영상에서 간의 인식은 간에 존재하는 질병을 파악하는 것뿐만 아니라 간에 대한 치료 방법이나 수술방법을 결정하는 중요한 정보를 제공한다. 이러한 일반적인 간의 인식 방법은 영역 분할 알고리즘을 기반으로 처리되어진다. IT분야에서의 영역 분할 알고리즘은 대부분 밝기 정보, 형태 정보, 패턴 분석 등 다양한 입력 정보의 컴퓨팅 처리를 통해 처리되어 진다. 그러나 이러한 컴퓨팅 방법으로는 앞서 언급된 입력정보들이 의미가 없을 경우, 영역 분할에 많은 제약이 따르게 된다. 따라서 본 논문은 이러한 컴퓨팅 처리의 근본적인 제약사항을 해결하고자, MR 이론의 R2-map정보 기반의 효과적인 영역 분할 방법은 제안하였다. 본 방법은 간 영역이 포함된 영상에서 실험하였으며, R2-map맵의 일부 특징점을 Region growing의 Seed point로 설정하여 경계가 모호하더라도 영역 분할이 가능하게끔 하였다. 해당 영상의 실험 결과 8.5%의 평균 오차로 일반적인 영역 분할 알고리즘에 비해 높은 정확도가 산출되었다.

본 논문에서는 획기반 필기한글 문자분할 방법을 제안하고 이를 한글단어인식에 적용하였다. 제안된 방법에서는 획 단위의 문자분할을 시도함으로써 불필요한 분할점을 줄일 수 있었을 뿐 아니라 문자간 획의 접촉이나 겹침을 해결할 수 있었다. 실험에서는 이를 단어인식에 적용하여 비교적 높은 인식률을 얻음으로써 제안된 방법의 가능성을 입증하였다. 실험에서 이용한 문자인식기의 성능이 낮음에도 불구하고 비교적 높은 단어인식률을 얻을 수 있었던 것은 의미 있는 획 단위의 문자분할을 통해 불필요한 분할 가능성을 줄였고, 단어사전을 이용함으로써 사전정보를 충분히 활용할 수 있었기 때문이다.

An important aspect of video program indexing and retrieval is the ability to segment video program into meaningful segments, in other words, the ability of content-based video program segmentation. In this paper, a new approach using speech recognition technology has been proposed for content-based video program segmentation. This approach uses speech recognition technique to synchronize closed caption with speech signal. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed scheme is very promising for content-based video program segmentation.

This paper presents recognition of unconstrained handwritten numeral strings using decision value generator, which is combined with both isolated digit identifier and recognizer designed with structural characteristics of digits. Numerical string recognition system is composed of three modules, which are pre-segmentation, segmentation and recognition. Pre-segmentation module classifies a numeral string into sub-images, which are isolated digit, touched digits or broken digit, using confidence value of decision value generator. Segmentation module segments touched digits using reliability value of decision value generator that will separate the leftmost digit from touched string of digits. Segmentation-based and segmentation-free methods have used for classification and segmentation, respectively. To evaluate proposed method, experiments have carried out with handwritten numeral strings of NIST SD19 and higher recognition performance than previous works has obtained with 96.7%.

The local appearance-based method is one of the face recognition methods that divides face image into small areas and extracts features from each area of face image using statistical analysis. It collects classification results of each area and decides identity of a face image using a voting scheme by integrating classification results of each area of a face image. The conventional local appearance-based method divides face images into small pieces and uses all the pieces in recognition process. In this paper, we propose a local appearance-based method that makes use of only the relatively important facial components. The proposed method detects the facial components such as eyes, nose and mouth that differs much from person to person. In doing so, the proposed method detects exact locations of facial components using support vector machines (SVM). Based on the detected facial components, a number of small images that contain the facial parts are constructed. Then it extracts features from each facial component image using principal components analysis (PCA). We compared the performance of the proposed method to those of the conventional methods. The results show that the proposed method outperforms the conventional local appearance-based method while preserving the advantages of the conventional local appearance-based method.

This paper presents an integrated solution for the content-based news video indexing and the retrieval. Currently, it is impossible to automatically index a general video, but we can index a specific structural video such as news videos. Our proposed model extracts automatically the key frames by using the structured knowledge of news and consists of the news item segmentation, caption recognition and search browser modules. We present above three modules in the following: the news event segmentation module recognizes an anchor-person shot based on face recognition, and then its news event are divided by the anchor-person's frame information. The caption recognition module detects the caption-frames with the caption characteristics, extracts their character region by the using split-merge method, and then recognizes characters with OCR software. Finally, the search browser module could make a various of searching mechanism possible.

The active control of a vehicle based on vehicle recognition is one of key technologies for the intelligent vehicle, and the part-based image representation is necessary to recognize vehicles with only partial shapes of vehicles especially in urban scene where occlusions frequently occur. In this paper, we implemented a part-based image representation scheme using non-negative tensor factorization(NTF) and realized a robust vehicle recognition system using the NTF feature. The result shows that the proposed method gives more intuitive part-based representation and more robust recognition in urban scene.
