In this paper, we propose a loitering detection using trajectory probability distribution and local direction descriptor for intelligent surveillance system. We use a background modeling method for detecting moving object and extract the motion features from each moving object for making feature vectors. After that, we detect the loitering behavior person using K-Nearest Neighbor classifier. We test the proposed method in real world environment and it can achieve real time and robust detection results.

본 논문에서 Pan, Tilt 카메라를 이용한 객체 추적을 위하여 초기 지역정보를 이용하여 객체를 검출하고 검출된 객체의 색 정보를 이용하여 능동 객체를 추적하는 기술을 제안한다. 외부 환경의 잡음을 제거하기 위해 적응적인 가우시안 혼합 모델링을 이용하여 배경과 객체를 분리한다. 객체가 정해지면 카메라가 이동하는 동안에도 추적이 가능한 CAMShift 추적 알고리즘을 이용하여 객체를 실시간으로 추적한다. CAMShift 추적 알고리즘은 객체의 크기를 계산하므로 객체의 크기가 변하더라도 유동적인 객체 판별이 가능하다. Pan, Tilt의 위치는 구좌표계(Spherical coordinates system)를 이용하여 계산하였다. 이렇게 구해진 Pan, Tilt 위치는 Pan, Tilt 프로토콜을 이용하여 객체의 위치를 화면의 중심에 놓이게 함으로써 적합한 추적을 가능하게 한다.

An adaptive segmentation algorithm is used to efficiently target decisions in local non-stationary images. Until now, several adaptive approaches have been proposed as a method of segmentation. However, they can't be directly used for radar target detection because a radar signal has different characteristics from general images. Generally, a histogram of radar signal shows that targets have a relatively small number of frequency functions compared to the background and distribution of background, which have several shapes as the environment changes. In this paper, we propose an adaptive segmentation algorithm using a histogram chord which is a right-down line from maximum pick of frequency function. The proposed method provides thresholds which are optimum for several radar environments because the used chord for threshold search is not significantly effected by interference conditions. Simulation results show that the proposed method is superior to the traditional algorithms, global threshold method and distribution median method, with respect to detection performance.

본 논문에서는, 원거리 음성인식을 위한 서브밴드 필터링 기반의 빠르고 효율적인 에코제거 시스템을 제안한다. 제안하는 에코제거 시스템은 우선 채널간 유사도 (correlation) 가 높을 경우 적응필터가 오작동하는 것을 방지하기 위해 spatial decorrelation 을 적용하게 된다. 그리고 tree 형태를 가지는 IIR filterbank 기반의 subband 구조를 채택함으로써, 적은 차수로도 효과적인 analysis, synthesis 필터링을 수행할 수 있도록 한다. 이 과정에서 불가피하게 발생하는 서브 밴드간 spectral aliasing은 notch filter를 적용해 해결할 수 있다. 또한 적응 필터로는 improved proportionate normalized least-mean-square (IP-NLMS) 알고리즘을 사용해 수렴속도 및 에코제거 성능에서 우수함을 확인하였다. 마지막으로 decision-directed estimation 기반의 residual echo suppressor를 적용해 잔여 에코를 제거하게 된다. 본 논문에서는 각 단계를 구성하게 된 이론적인 배경을 소개하고, 실제 에코가 존재하는 환경에서 ERLE, 원거리 음성 인식률, computational complexity를 통해 제안하는 에코제거 시스템의 효과를 입증하도록 한다.

In this paper, we propose a robust clutter pre-thresholding method using background adaptive Threshold Map for the clutter rejection in the complex coastal environment. The proposed algorithm is composed of the use of Threshold Map's and method of its calculation. Additionally we also suggest an automatic decision method of Thresold Map's update. Experimental results on some sets of real infrared image sequence show that the proposed method could remove clutters effectively without any loss of detection rate for the aim target and reduce processing time dramatically.

This paper proposes an efficient coding method of the depth-map which is different from the natural images. The depth-map are so smooth in both inner parts of the objects and background, but it has sharp edges on the object-boundaries like a cliff. In addition, when a depth-map block is decomposed into bit planes, the characteristic of perfect matching or inverted matching between bit planes often occurs on the object-boundaries. Therefore, the proposed depth-map coding scheme is designed to have the bit-plane unit coding method using the adaptive XOR method for efficiently coding the depth-map images on the object-boundary areas, as well as the conventional DCT-based coding scheme (for example, H.264/AVC) for efficiently coding the inside area images of the objects or the background depth-map images. The experimental results show that the proposed algorithm improves the average bit-rate savings as 11.8 % ~ 20.8% and the average PSNR (Peak Signal-to-Noise Ratio) gains as 0.9 dB ~ 1.5 dB in comparison with the H.264/AVC coding scheme. And the proposed algorithm improves the average bit-rate savings as 7.7 % ~ 12.2 % and the average PSNR gains as 0.5 dB ~ 0.8 dB in comparison with the adaptive block-based depth-map coding scheme. It can be confirmed that the proposed method improves the subjective quality of synthesized image using the decoded depth-map in comparison with the H.264/AVC coding scheme. And the subjective quality of the proposed method was similar to the subjective quality of the adaptive block-based depth-map coding scheme.

In automatic target recognition(ATR) systems, target extraction techniques are very important because ATR performance depends on segmentation result. So, this paper proposes a multi-sensor image fusion method based on adaptive weights. To incorporate the FLIR image and CCD image, we used information such as the bi-modality, distance and texture. A weight of the FLIR image is derived from the bi-modality and distance measure. For the weight of CCD image, the information that the target's texture is more uniform than the background region is used. The proposed algorithm is applied to many images and its performance is compared with the segmentation result using the single image. Experimental results show that the proposed method has the accurate extraction performance.

Near targets in the infrared (IR) images have the steady feature for inner region and the transient feature for the boundary region. Based on these features, this paper proposes a new method to extract the fine target shape of near targets in the IR images. First, we detect the boundary region of the candidate targets using the local variance weighted information entropy (WIE) of the original images. And then, a coarse target region can be estimated based on the labeling of the boundary region. For the coarse target region, we use the opening filter with an adaptive structure element to extract the fine target shape. The decision of the adaptive structure element size is optimized for the width information of target boundary by calculating the average WIE in the enlarged windows. The experimental results show that a proposed method has better extraction performance than the previous threshold algorithms.
