This paper deals with the dynamic hand gesture recognition based on computer vision using neural networks. This paper proposes a global search method and a local search method to recognize the hand gesture. The global search recognizes a hand among the hand candidates through the entire image search, and the local search recognizes and tracks only the hand through the block search. Dynamic hand gesture recognition method is based on the skin-color and shape analysis with the invariant moment and direction information. Starting point and ending point of the dynamic hand gesture are obtained from hand shape. Experiments have been conducted for hand extraction, hand recognition and dynamic hand gesture recognition. Experimental results show the validity of the proposed method.

Counters for the various kinds of banknotes require high-speed distinctive point extraction and recognition. In this paper we propose a new point extraction and recognition algorithm for Euro banknotes. For distinctive point extraction we use a coordinate data extraction method from specific parts of a banknote representing the same color. To recognize banknotes, we trained 5 neural networks. One is used for inserting direction and the others are used for face value. The algorithm is designed to minimize recognition time by using a minimal amount of recognition data. The simulated results show a high recognition rate and a low training period. The proposed method can be applied to high speed banknote counting machines.

In this paper, we propose a Hangul character recognition method in which new letter components as recognition units are introduced and the MLP (multilayer perceptrons) neural networks are employed for two-step recognition of Hangul. To recognize Hangul character, we divide it into two or three recognition units and extract the direction angle features of them to be fed to the corresponding neural network recognizers. The recognition results of neural network recognizers are combined by another neural network. The experiments were conducted on the Hangul characters from real letter envelopes which are collected in the mail centers in Korea and the results showed that our method performs better than the conventional one.

This study proposes a method to quickly and accurately acquire distance information on direction signs. The proposed method is composed of the recognition of the sign, pre-processing to facilitate the acquisition of the road sign distance, and the acquisition of the distance data. The road sign recognition uses color detection including gamma correction in order to mitigate various noise issues. In order to facilitate the acquisition of distance data, this study applied tilt correction using linear factors, and resolution correction using Fourier transform. To acquire the distance data, morphological operation was used to highlight the area, along with labeling and template matching. By acquiring the distance information on the direction sign through such a processes, the proposed system can be output the distance remaining to the next junction. As a result, when the proposed method is applied to system it can process the data in real-time using the fast calculation speed, average speed was shown to be 0.46 second per frame, with accuracy of 0.65 in similarity value.

The study has proposed a method that simultaneously takes advantage of each projection matrix acquired by using column-directional two-dimensional PCA(C2DPCA) and row-directional two-dimensional LDA(R2DLDA). The proposed method can acquire a great secure recognition rate, with no relation to the number of training images, with acquired low-dimensional feature matrixes including both the horizontal and the vertical features of a face. Besides, in the alternate experiment of PCA and LDA to row-direction and column-direction respectively(C2DPCA & R2DLDA, C2DLDA & R2DPCA), we could make sure the system of 2 dimensional LDA with row-directional feature(C2DPCA & R2DLDA) obtain higher recognition rate with low dimension than opposite case. As a result of experimenting that, the proposed method has showed a greater recognition rate of 99.4% than the existing methods such as 2DPCA and 2DLDA, etc. Also, it was proved that its recognition processing is over three times as fast as that of 2DPCA or 2DLDA.

Face recognition of face images is an active subject in the area of computer pattern recognition, which has a wide range of potential. Automatic extraction of face image of the feature points is an important step during automatic face recognition. Whether correctly extract the facial feature has a direct influence to the face recognition. In this paper, a new method of facial feature extraction based on Discrete Wavelet Transform is proposed. Firstly, get the face image by using PC Camera. Secondly, decompose the face image using discrete wavelet transform. Finally, we use the horizontal direction, vertical direction projection method to extract the features of human face. According to the results of the features of human face, we can achieve face recognition. The result show that this method could extract feature points of human face quickly and accurately. This system not only can detect the face feature points with great accuracy, but also more robust than the tradition method to locate facial feature image.

Lately, variety of algorithms using encryption technology has been adopted as methods of unlocking smartphone. It is advancing toward the direction to solve through human biometrics technology which has already succeeded in commercialization. These include finger print recognition, face recognition, and iris recognition. In this study, we selected biometrics recognition technology and pattern recognition and password input methods which are already commercialized as evaluation items. The evaluation items are five algorithms including finger print recognition, face recognition iris recognition, pattern recognition and password input method. Based on these algorithms, analytic hierarchy process is used to analyze the preference of smartphone users. Also, the theoretical implications are presented based on the analysis results.

In our study, we investigated the effects of position of endorser and endorser's gaze direction(direct/averted_image/averted_text) on advertising attitude, purchase intent and brand recognition using eye-tracking method. Focusing on the printed cosmetic ads which the role of endorser is important and indirect persuade route is relatively is emphasized, we conducted experiment on 36 participants in 20s. As prior studies, our results shows that participants paid attention to more and faster on specific element which the endorser is gazing at. But it was not reflected to ad attitude and purchase intent directly. When the endorser is positioned in left the side, the highest purchase intent was shown in direct gaze condition, while when the endorser is on the right side, the highest ad attitude was shown in gazing image condition. Additionally, the brand recognition task following eye-tracking experiment shows that recognition accuracy was higher only in condition which the endorser is in the left side looking at the product image. These results demonstrated that the gaze direction of endorser plays a role as attentional guidance, which means it can lead customer's attention to particular region in the printed ad, but the effect can be varied depending on the position of endorser and which type of information the endorser is gazing at. Therefore, ultimately, to increase customer's ad attitude and purchase intent, complex consideration of not only the gazing direction of the endorser, but the position of endorser and other diverse elements is necessary.

This paper proposes a face recognition technique that effectively combines elastic graph matching (EGM) and Fisherface algorithm. EGM as one of dynamic lint architecture uses not only face-shape but also the gray information of image, and Fisherface algorithm as a class specific method is robust about variations such as lighting direction and facial expression. In the proposed face recognition adopting the above two methods, the linear projection per node of an image graph reduces dimensionality of labeled graph vector and provides a feature space to be used effectively for the classification. In comparison with a conventional method, the proposed approach could obtain satisfactory results in the perspectives of recognition rates and speeds. Especially, we could get maximum recognition rate of 99.3% by leaving-one-out method for the experiments with the Yale Face Databases.
