In this paper, it was presented that broadly delivered scanner devices can also used in finger print recognition process and then modified existing steps of fingerprint image processing. First, using the adaptive binary method, that effect was certified already, increased the effect of the results. And then, applying table mapping methods that looks for elements from look-up table, decreased the processing time, too. Finally, it was presented that ridge-direction characteristics extracted from these processes can used effectively in the area of fingerprint recognition system.

In this paper, we propose the system which recognize the gaze using Random Forests in vehicular environment based on smart-phone. Proposed system is mainly composed of the following: face detection using Adaboost, face component estimation using Histograms, and gaze recognition based on Random Forests. We detect a driver based on the image information with a smart-phone camera, and the face component of driver is estimated. Next, we extract the feature vectors from the estimated face component and recognize gaze direction using Random Forest recognition algorithm. Also, we collected gaze database including a variety gaze direction in real environments for the experiment. In the experiment result, the face detection rate and the gaze recognition rate showed 82.02% and 84.77% average accuracies, respectively.

In vision measurement systems based on structured light, the key point of detection precision is to determine accurately the central position of the projected laser line in the image. The purpose of this research is to extract laser line centers based on a decision function generated to distinguish the real centers from candidate points with a high recognition rate. First, preprocessing of an image adopting a difference image method is conducted to realize image segmentation of the laser line. Second, the feature points in an integral pixel level are selected as the initiating light line centers by the eigenvalues of the Hessian matrix. Third, according to the light intensity distribution of a laser line obeying a Gaussian distribution in transverse section and a constant distribution in longitudinal section, a normalized model of Hessian matrix eigenvalues for the candidate centers of the laser line is presented to balance reasonably the two eigenvalues that indicate the variation tendencies of the second-order partial derivatives of the Gaussian function and constant function, respectively. The proposed model integrates a Gaussian recognition function and a sinusoidal recognition function. The Gaussian recognition function estimates the characteristic that one eigenvalue approaches zero, and enhances the sensitivity of the decision function to that characteristic, which corresponds to the longitudinal direction of the laser line. The sinusoidal recognition function evaluates the feature that the other eigenvalue is negative with a large absolute value, making the decision function more sensitive to that feature, which is related to the transverse direction of the laser line. In the proposed model the decision function is weighted for higher values to the real centers synthetically, considering the properties in the longitudinal and transverse directions of the laser line. Moreover, this method provides a decision value from 0 to 1 for arbitrary candidate centers, which yields a normalized measure for different laser lines in different images. The normalized results of pixels close to 1 are determined to be the real centers by progressive scanning of the image columns. Finally, the zero point of a second-order Taylor expansion in the eigenvector's direction is employed to refine further the extraction results of the central points at the subpixel level. The experimental results show that the method based on this normalization model accurately extracts the coordinates of laser line centers and obtains a higher recognition rate in two group experiments.

Deep Learning has become the most important technology in the field of artificial intelligence machine learning, with its high performance overwhelming existing methods in various applications. In this paper, an interactive window service based on object recognition technology is proposed. The main goal is to implement an object recognition technology using this deep learning technology to remove the existing eye tracking technology, which requires users to wear eye tracking devices themselves, and to implement an eye tracking technology that uses only usual cameras to track users' eye. We design an interactive system based on efficient eye detection and pupil tracking method that can verify the user's eye movement. To estimate the view-direction of user's eye, we initialize to make the reference (origin) coordinate. Then the view direction is estimated from the extracted eye pupils from the origin coordinate. Also, we propose a blink detection technique based on the eye apply ratio (EAR). With the extracted view direction and eye action, we provide some augmented information of interest without the existing complex and expensive eye-tracking systems with various service topics and situations. For verification, the user guiding service is implemented as a proto-type model with the school map to inform the location information of the desired location or building.

This study is a study on the recognition and policy direction of welfare service for the disabled. For this, it aims to draw implications about the policy direction of welfare service for the disabled using basic investigation of welfare for the disabled among $2^{nd}$, $3^{rd}$ community social welfare plans of Jeollanam-do. As study results, it was analysed that the demand of welfare service for the disabled is increasing from providing the past livelihood such as establishing the foundation for basic livelihood to customized welfare service such as supplying jobs for enhancing the quality of life of the disabled. That is judged to be caused by needs for human's basic rights according to economic development and improvement in income level, and it will be appropriate to set up the software-focused policy for the disabled individuals rather than to set up the hardware-focused policy like the past. Despite the implications like these, however, this study has limitation that its subject is restricted to D-gun, so henceforth it needs to draw more general conclusions through comprehensive research about more extensive regions.

In this paper, we propose a feature vector and its applying method which can be utilized for the extraction of the car license plate region. The proposed feature vector is extracted from direction code histogram of edge direction of gradient vector of image. The feature vector extracted is forwarded to the MLP classifier which identifies character and garbage and then the recognition of the numeral and the location of the license plate region are performed. The experimental results show that the proposed methods are properly applied to the identification of character and garbage, the rough location of license plate, and the recognition of numeral in license plate region.

In this Paper. we propose a recognition method of machine printed characters based on the combination of recognition units using multiple neural networks. In our recognition method, the input character is classified into one of 7 character types among which the first 6 types are for Hangul character and the last type is for non-Hangul characters. Hangul characters are recognized by several MLP (multilayer perceptron) neural networks through two stages. In the first stage, we divide Hangul character image into two or three recognition units (HRU : Hangul recognition unit) according to the combination fashion of graphemes. Each recognition unit composed of one or two graphemes is recognized by an MLP neural network with an input feature vector of pixel direction angles. In the second stage, the recognition aspect features of the HRU MLP recognizers in the first stage are extracted and forwarded to a subsequent MLP by which final recognition result is obtained. For the recognition of non-Hangul characters, a single MLP is employed. The recognition experiments had been performed on the character image database collected from 50,000 real letter envelope images. The experimental results have demonstrated the superiority of the proposed method.

In this paper we have presented approach to automatic the direction feature vectors detection, which detects the ridge line directly in gray scale images. In spite of a greater conceptual complexity, we have shown that our technique has less computational complexity than the complexity of the techniques which require binarization and thinning. Afterwards a various direction feature vectors is changed four direction feature vectors. In this paper used matching method is four direction feature vectors based matching. This four direction feature vectors consist feature patterns in fingerprint images. This feature patterns were used for identification of individuals inputed multilayer Neural Networks(NN) which has capability of excellent pattern identification.
