Terrain classification is still a challenging issue in image processing, especially with high resolution satellite images. The well-known obstacles include low accuracy in the detection of targets, especially for the case of man-made structures, such as buildings and roads. In this paper, we present an efficient approach to classify and detect building footprints, foliage, grass and road from high resolution grayscale satellite images. Our contribution is to build a strong classifier using AdaBoost based on a combination of co-occurrence and Haar-like features. We expect that the inclusion of Harr-like feature improves the classification performance of the man-made structures, since Haar-like feature is extracted from corner features and rectangle features. Also, the AdaBoost algorithm selects only critical features and generates an extremely efficient classifier. Experimental result indicates that the classification accuracy of AdaBoost classifier is much higher than that of the conventional classifier using back propagation algorithm. Also, the inclusion of Harr-like feature significantly improves the classification accuracy. The accuracy of the proposed method is 98.4% for the target detection and 92.8% for the classification on high resolution satellite images.

This study developed a surveillance robot for a ship. The developed robot consists of ultrasonic sensors, an actuator, a lighting fixture and a camera. The ultrasonic sensors are used to avoid collision with obstacles in the environment. The actuator is a servo motor system. The developed robot has four drive wheels for driving. The lighting fixture is used to guide the robot in a dark environment. To transmit an image, a camera with a pan moving and a tilt moving is equipped on the upper part of the robot. AdaBoost algorithm trained with 15 features, is used for face recognition. In order to evaluate the face recognition of the developed robot, experiments were performed.

In this paper, we introduce an improved adaptive boosting (AdaBoost) classifier and its application, a disguised-face discriminator that discriminates between bare and disguised faces. The proposed classifier is based on an AdaBoost learning algorithm and regression technique. In the process, the lookup table of AdaBoost learning is utilized. The proposed method is verified on the captured images under several real environments. Experimental results and analysis show the proposed method has a higher and faster performance than other well-known methods.

Viola와 Jones가 제안한 AdaBoost(Adaptive Boosting) 알고리즘은 기존의 물체 검출기에 비해 속도와 정확도 면에서 우수하여 실시간 물체 검출기로써 좋은 성능을 보인다. 하지만 여전히 많은 계산량 때문에 성능이 낮은 임베디드 환경에서는 실시간 검출에 대한 아쉬움이 있다. 본 논문에서는 계산량을 줄이기 위해 모션 검출을 통해 배경 영역을 제거하고 얼굴 영역을 추정한다. 제거된 배경 영역은 AdaBoost 알고리즘의 검출 과정에서 제외되며 추정된 얼굴 영역에 대해서만 검출을 하게 된다. 모션검출은 ${\Sigma}-{\Delta}$(Sigma-Delta) 배경 추정에 기반한 알고리즘을 사용한다.

An online mean-shift object tracking algorithm, which consists of a learning stage and an estimation stage, is proposed in this work. The learning stage selects the features for tracking, and the estimation stage composes a likelihood image and applies the mean shift algorithm to it to track an object. The tracking performance depends on the quality of the likelihood image. We propose two schemes to generate and integrate likelihood images: one based on the discrete AdaBoost (DAB) and the other based on the real AdaBoost (RAB). The DAB scheme uses tuned feature values, whereas RAB estimates class probabilities, to select the features and generate the likelihood images. Experiment results show that the proposed algorithm provides more accurate and reliable tracking results than the conventional mean shift tracking algorithms.

본 논문에서는 AdaBoost 알고리즘에서 약분류기(Weak Classifier)의 성능을 개선하기 위한 임계값 설정 방법을 제안한다. 일반적으로 약분류기에 사용되는 임계값은 특징들의 평균값을 많이 사용하지만 이는 특징들의 분포가 고려되지 않았기 때문에 분별력이 많이 떨어진다. 그러므로 각 특징들의 분포를 고려한 약분류기의 임계값 설정방법을 제안한다. 이는 얼굴에 대한 간단한 학습 및 테스트를 통하여 기존 방법에 비하여 더 나은 성능을 보임을 입증한다.

The method proposed in this paper can improve the performance of the Boosting algorithm in machine learning. The proposed Boundary AdaBoost algorithm can make up for the weak points of Normal binary classifier using threshold boundary concepts. The new proposed boundary can be located near the threshold of the binary classifier. The proposed algorithm improves classification in areas where Normal binary classifier is weak. Thus, the optimal boundary final classifier can decrease error rates classified with more reasonable features. Finally, this paper derives the new algorithm's optimal solution, and it demonstrates how classifier accuracy can be improved using the proposed Boundary AdaBoost in a simulation experiment of pedestrian detection using 10-fold cross validation.

In this paper, we focus on solving the classification problem by using semisupervised learning strategy. Traditional classifiers are constructed based on labeled data in supervised learning. Labeled data, however, are often difficult, expensive or time consuming to obtain, as they require the efforts of experienced human annotators. Unlabeled data are significantly easier to obtain without human efforts. Thus, we use AdaBoost algorithm with SVM-KNN classifier to apply semisupervised learning problem and improve the classifier performance. Experimental results on both artificial and UCI data sets show that the proposed methodology can reduce the error rate.

본 논문에서는 실시간 얼굴검출을 위하여 감시카메라에서 입력된 RGB영상을 YCbCr 영상으로 변환한 후 연속된 두 영상의 차를 구하고 Glassfire 라벨링을 실시했다. 라벨링 결과 가장 넓은 구역의 면적과 Area 임계치 값을 비교하여 임계값 이상의 면적이면 동작변환으로 인식하고 영상을 추출하였다. 이렇게 추출된 동작변환 영상을 대상으로 얼굴 검출을 실시하였다. 얼굴 검출에 필요한 특징을 추출하기 위해 AdaBoost알고리즘을 사용하였다.
