Recognition of human motions has become a main area of computer vision due to its potential human-computer interface (HCI) and surveillance. Among those existing recognition techniques for human motions, head detection and tracking is basis for all human motion recognitions. Various approaches have been tried to detect and trace the position of human head in two-dimensional (2D) images precisely. However, it is still a challenging problem because the human appearance is too changeable by pose, and images are affected by illumination change. To enhance the performance of head detection and tracking, the real-time three-dimensional (3D) data acquisition sensors such as time-of-flight and Kinect depth sensor are recently used. In this paper, we propose an effective feature extraction method, called adaptive local binary pattern (ALBP), for depth image based applications. Contrasting to well-known conventional local binary pattern (LBP), the proposed ALBP cannot only extract shape information without texture in depth images, but also is invariant distance change in range images. We apply the proposed ALBP for head detection and tracking in depth images to show its effectiveness and its usefulness.

비젼기반 지능형교통정보시스템(ITS, Intelligent Transportation System) 환경에서 도로영역의 분할이 가장 기초적인 역할을 한다. 따라서 본 논문은 입력영상에서 도로 영역과 하늘 영역을 분할하기 위해 적응적 패턴 추출을 통한 영역분할 방법을 제안한다. 제안된 방법은 첫째, Mean Shift 알고리즘을 이용한 초기분할 단계, 둘째, 정적 패턴매칭 방법에 기반한 후보영역선별 단계, 셋째, 동적 패턴매칭 방법에 기반한 영역확장 단계로 구성된다. 제안된 방법은 적응적 패턴을 현 분할영역의 주변 영역으로부터 추출하여 영역병합에 사용함으로서 보다 신뢰성 높은 영역병합결과를 얻을 수 있다. 제안된 방법의 장점을 평가하기 위해 정적인(static) 패턴만을 사용해서 영역을 병합하는 방법과 비교하였다. 제안된 방법의 실험결과에서는 적응적인 패턴 추출방법을 사용하였을 때가 정적인 패턴 추출에 의한 영역병합 방법보다 8.12%의 성능이 향상됨을 보였다. 제안된 방법은 수시로 변화하는 도로환경에서 안정적으로 도로나 하늘영역을 추출할 수 있으며, 비전기반 지능형교통정보시스템의 핵심적인 역할을 할 것으로 기대한다.

In this paper, an adaptive image binarization scheme is proposed for automated surface strain measurement. At first, we reviewed an image based 3D deformation factor measurement briefly. Then, a new adaptive thresholding method is proposed for the extraction of lattice pattern from a deformed plate image using its local mean and variance. Some experimental results are presented to verify the effectiveness of our approaches.

This paper presents an arificial neuro-fuzzy technique based prtial discharge (PD) pattern classifier to power system application. This may require a complicated analysis method employ -ing an experts system due to very complex progressing discharge form under exter-nal stress. After referring briefly to the developments of artificical neural network based PD measurements, the paper outlines how the introduction of new emerging technology has resulted in the design of a number of PD diagnostic systems for practical applicaton of residual lifetime prediction. The appropriate PD data base structure and selection of learning data size of PD pattern based on fractal dimentsional and 3-D PD-normalization, extraction of relevant characteristic fea-ture of PD recognition are discussed. Some practical aspects encountered with unknown stress in the neuro-fuzzy techniques based real time PD recognition are also addressed.

Facial expressions provide significant clues about one's emotional state; however, it always has been a great challenge for machine to recognize facial expressions effectively and reliably. In this paper, we report a method of feature-based adaptive motion energy analysis for recognizing facial expression. Our method optimizes the information gain heuristics of ID3 tree and introduces new approaches on (1) facial feature representation, (2) facial feature extraction, and (3) facial feature classification. We use minimal reasonable facial features, suggested by the information gain heuristics of ID3 tree, to represent the geometric face model. For the feature extraction, our method proceeds as follows. Features are first detected and then carefully "selected." Feature "selection" is finding the features with high variability for differentiating features with high variability from the ones with low variability, to effectively estimate the feature's motion pattern. For each facial feature, motion analysis is performed adaptively. That is, each facial feature's motion pattern (from the neutral face to the expressed face) is estimated based on its variability. After the feature extraction is done, the facial expression is classified using the ID3 tree (which is built from the 1728 possible facial expressions) and the test images from the JAFFE database. The proposed method excels and overcomes the problems aroused by previous methods. First of all, it is simple but effective. Our method effectively and reliably estimates the expressive facial features by differentiating features with high variability from the ones with low variability. Second, it is fast by avoiding complicated or time-consuming computations. Rather, it exploits few selected expressive features' motion energy values (acquired from intensity-based threshold). Lastly, our method gives reliable recognition rates with overall recognition rate of 77%. The effectiveness of the proposed method will be demonstrated from the experimental results.

The process of extracting external boundary of an object is a very important process for recognizing an object in the image. The proposed extraction method consists of two processes: External Boundary Extraction and Thinning. In the first step, external boundary extraction process separates the region representing the object in the input image. Then, only the pixels adjacent to the background are selected among the pixels constituting the object to construct an outline of the object. The second step, thinning process, simplifies the outline of an object by eliminating unnecessary pixels by examining positions and interconnection relations between the pixels constituting the outline of the object obtained in the previous extraction process. As a result, the simplified external boundary of object results in a higher recognition rate in the next step, the object recognition process.

This paper proposes an efficient method for improving the performance of polynomial adaline using the dimension reduction of independent variables. The adaptive principal component analysis is applied for reducing the dimension by extracting efficiently the features of the given independent variables. It can be solved the problems due to high dimensional input data in the polynomial adaline that the principal component analysis converts input data into set of statistically independent features. The proposed polynomial adaline has been applied to classify the patterns. The simulation results shows that the proposed polynomial adaline has better performances of the classification for test patterns, in comparison with those using the conventional polynomial adaline. Also, it is affected less by the scope of the smoothing factor.

Mobile authentication/identification has grown into a priority issue nowadays because of its existing outdated mechanisms, such as PINs or passwords. In this paper, we introduce gait recognition by using a mobile accelerometer as not only effective but also as an implicit identification model. Unlike previous works, the gait recognition only performs well with a particular mobile specification (e.g., a fixed sampling rate). Our work focuses on constructing a unique adaptive mechanism that could be independently deployed with the specification of mobile devices. To do this, the impact of the sampling rate on the preprocessing steps, such as noise elimination, data segmentation, and feature extraction, is examined in depth. Moreover, the degrees of agreement between the gait features that were extracted from two different mobiles, including both the Average Error Rate (AER) and Intra-class Correlation Coefficients (ICC), are assessed to evaluate the possibility of constructing a device-independent mechanism. We achieved the classification accuracy approximately $91.33{\pm}0.67%$ for both devices, which showed that it is feasible and reliable to construct adaptive cross-device gait recognition on a mobile phone.
