This paper presents a new system for facial expression recognition based in dimension model of internal states. The information of facial expression are extracted to the three steps. In the first step, Gabor wavelet representation extracts the edges of face components. In the second step, sparse features of facial expressions are extracted using fuzzy C-means(FCM) clustering algorithm on neutral faces, and in the third step, are extracted using the Dynamic Model(DM) on the expression images. Finally, we show the recognition of facial expression based on the dimension model of internal states using a multi-layer perceptron. The two dimensional structure of emotion shows that it is possible to recognize not only facial expressions related to basic emotions but also expressions of various emotion.

Multi-layered perceptrons that are a nonlinear neural network model, have been widely used for various applications mainly thanks to good function approximation capability for nonlinear fuctions. However, for digital hardware implementation of the multi-layere perceptrons, the quantization scheme using "look-up tables (LUTs)" is commonly employed to handle nonlinear signmoid activation functions in the neworks, and thus requires large amount of storage to prevent unacceptable quantization errors. This paper is concerned with a new effective methodology for digital hardware implementation of multi-layered perceptrons, and proposes a "piecewise affine approximation" method in which input domain is divided into (small number of) sub-intervals and nonlinear sigmoid function is linearly approximated within each sub-interval. Using the proposed method, we develop an expression and an error backpropagation type learning algorithm for a multi-layered perceptron, and compare the performance with the quantization method through Monte Carlo simulations on XOR problems. Simulation results show that, in terms of learning convergece, the proposed method with a small number of sub-intervals significantly outperforms the quantization method with a very large storage requirement. We expect from these results that the proposed method can be utilized in digital system implementation to significantly reduce the storage requirement, quantization error, and learning time of the quantization method.quantization method.

We propose a new algorithm to generate additional training patterns using the brain-style information processing algorithm, that is, supervised and unsupervised learning models. This will be useful in the case that we do not have enough number of training patterns because of limitation such as time consuming, economic problem, and so on. We adopt the independent component analysis as an unsupervised model for generating exempalr patterns and multilayer perceptions as supervised models for verifying usefulness of the generated patterns. After statistical analysis of the proposed pattern generation algorithm, we verify successful operations of our algorithm through simulation of handwritten digit recognition with various numbers of training patterns.

Diffraction systematically causes error in acoustic measurements. Most probes are designed to reduce this phenomenon. On the contrary, this paper proposes a spherical probe a] lowing acoustic inten sity measurements in three dimensions to be made, which creates a diffracted field that is well-defined, thanks to analytic solution of diffraction phenomena. Six microphones are distributed on the surface of the sphere along three rectangular axes. Its measurement technique is not based on finite difference approximation, as is the case for the ID probe but on the analytic solution of diffraction phenomena. In fact, the success of sound source identification depends on the inverse models used to estimate inverse diffraction phenomena, which has nonlinear properties. In this paper, we propose the concept of nonlinear inverse diffraction modeling using a neural network and the idea of 3 dimensional sound source identification with better performances. A number of computer simulations are carried out in order to demonstrate the diffraction phenomena under various angles. Simulations for the inverse modeling of diffraction phenomena have been successfully conducted in showing the superiority of the neural network.

Injured peoples usually care their body at medical institutions. But if they need some more rehabilitation to the affected area thus exist. These medical institutions according to the scale there are significant differences in rehabilitation programs, most of the small-scale rehabilitation program for medical doctors and patients to be progression of the conversation is an issue. In this paper, in a small medical facility rehabilitation to assist in the accuracy and reliability, physical contact and force sensors that can measure a combination of substitution and the tactile sensor and tactile sensor alternative with a similar function is proposed. Perceptron neural networks by applying the contact evaluation according to the algorithm to determine the pattern is applied.

Camera calibration is the process of determining the coordinate relationship between a camera image and its real world space. Accurate calibration of a camera is necessary for the applications that involve quantitative measurement of camera images. However, if the camera plane is parallel or near parallel to the calibration board on which 2 dimensional objects are defined(this is called "ill-conditioned"), existing solution procedures are not well applied. In this paper, we propose a neural network-based approach to camera calibration for 2D images formed by a mono-camera or a pair of cameras. Multi-layer perceptrons are developed to transform the coordinates of each image point to the world coordinates. The validity of the approach is tested with data points which cover the whole 2D space concerned. Experimental results for both mono-camera and stereo-camera cases indicate that the proposed approach is comparable to Tsai's method［8］. Especially for the stereo camera case, the approach works better than the Tsai's method as the angle between the camera optical axis and the Z-axis increases. Therefore, we believe the approach could be an alternative solution procedure for the ill -conditioned camera calibration.libration.

In this paper, we observe one of the aquatic insect, fish(Medaka)'s behavior which reacts to giving toxic chemicals until lethal conditions using automatic tracking sl$.$stem. For the result, we define the Pattern A is a normal movement of fish and Pattern B is after giving the chemicals. In order to detect the movement of fish automatically, these patterns are selected for the training data of the artificial neural networks. The average recognition rates of the pattern B are remarkably increased after inputs of toxic chemical(diazinon) while the Pattern A is decreased distinctively. This study demonstrates that artificial neural networks are useful method for detecting presence of toxicoid in environment as for an alternative of in-situ behavioral monitoring tool.

시선의 추출을 통해 사용자의 관심 방향을 알고자하는 연구는 여러 분야에 응용될 수 있는데, 대표적인 것이 장애인의 컴퓨터 이용이나, 다중 윈도우에서 마우스의 기능 대용 및, VR에서의 위치 추적 장비의 대용 그리고 원격 회의 시스템에서의 view controlling등이다. 기존의 대부분의 연구들에서는 얼굴의 입력된 동영상으로부터 얼굴의 3차원 움직임량(rotation, translation)을 구하는데 중점을 두고 있으나 [1][2], 모니터, 카메라, 얼굴 좌표계간의 복잡한 변환 과정때문에 이를 바탕으로 사용자의 응시 위치를 파악하고자하는 연구는 거으 이루어지지 않고 있다. 본 논문에서는 일반 사무실 환경에서 입력된 얼굴 동영상으로부터 얼굴 영역 및 얼굴내의 눈, 코, 입 영역 등을 추출함으로써 모니터의 일정 영역을 응시하는 순간 변화된 특징점들의 위치 및 특징점들이 형성하는 기하학적 모양의 변화를 바탕으로 응시 위치를 계산하였다. 이때 앞의 세 좌표계간의 복잡한 변환 관계를 해결하기 위하여, 신경망 구조(다층 퍼셉트론)을 이용하였다. 신경망의 학습 과정을 위해서는 모니터 화면을 15영역(가로 5등분, 세로 3등분)으로 분할하여 각 영역의 중심점을 응시할 때 추출된 특징점들을 사용하였다. 이때 학습된 15개의 응시 위치이외에 또 다른 응시 영역에 대한 출력값을 얻기 위해, 출력 함수로 연속적이고 미분가능한 함수(linear output function)를 사용하였다. 실험 결과 신경망을 이용한 응시위치 파악 결과가 선형 보간법[3]을 사용한 결과보다 정확한 성능을 나타냈다.
