Human faces have been broadly studied in digital image and video processing fields. An appearance-based method, the adaptive boosting learning algorithm using integral image representations has been successfully employed for face detection, taking advantage of the feature extraction's low computational complexity. In this paper, we propose a face-detection postprocessing method that equalizes instantaneous facial regions in an efficient hardware architecture for use in real-time multimedia applications. The proposed system requires low hardware resources and exhibits robust performance in terms of the movements, zooming, and classification of faces. A series of experimental results obtained using video sequences collected under dynamic conditions are discussed.

In this paper, we studied about the extraction of the parameter and implementation of speechreading system to recognize the Korean 8 vowel. Face features are detected by amplifying, reducing the image value and making a comparison between the image value which is represented for various value in various color space. The eyes position, the nose position, the inner boundary of lip, the outer boundary of upper lip and the outer line of the tooth is found to the feature and using the analysis the area of inner lip, the hight and width of inner lip, the outer line length of the tooth rate about a inner mouth area and the distance between the nose and outer boundary of upper lip are used for the parameter. 2400 data are gathered and analyzed. Based on this analysis, the neural net is constructed and the recognition experiments are performed. In the experiment, 5 normal persons were sampled. The observational error between samples was corrected using normalization method. The experiment show very encouraging result about the usefulness of the parameter.

Vision system is an indispensable part of constructing the chess-playing robot. Chessboard detection and pieces localization in the captured image of robot's camera are important steps for processes followed such as pieces recognition, move calculation, and robot controlling. We present a method for detecting the Janggi chessboard and pieces based on the edge and color feature. Hough transform combined with line extraction is used for segmenting the chessboard and warping it to form the rectangle shape in order to detect and interpolate the lines of chessboard. Then we detect the existence of pieces and their side by applying the saliency map and checking the color distribution at piece locations. While other methods either work only with the empty chessboard or do not care about the piece existence, our method could detect sufficiently side and position of pieces as well as lines of the chessboard even if the occlusion happens.

This paper proposes a new method that detects the intersection points of handwritten Hangul strokes using run-length. The method firstly finds the strokes' width of handwritten Hangul characters using both horizontal and vertical run-lengths, secondly extracts horizontal and vertical strokes of a character utilizing the strokes' width, and finally detects the intersection points of the strokes exploiting horizontal and vertical strokes. The analysis of both the horizontal and the vertical strokes doesn't use the strokes' angles but both the strokes' width and the changes of the run-lengths. The intersection points of the strokes become the candidated parts for phoneme segmentation, which is one of main techniques for off-line handwritten Hangul recognition. The segmented strokes represent the feature for handwritten Hangul recognition.

Monitoring of plasma etch processes for fault detection is one of the hallmark procedures in semiconductor manufacturing. Optical emission spectroscopy (OES) has been considered as a gold standard for modeling plasma etching processes for on-line diagnosis and monitoring. However, statistical quantitative methods for processing the OES data are still lacking. There is an urgent need for a statistical quantitative method to deal with high-dimensional OES data for improving the quality of etched wafers. Therefore, we propose a robust relevance vector machine (RRVM) for regression with statistical quantitative features for modeling etch rate and uniformity in plasma etch processes by using OES data. For effectively dealing with the OES data complexity, we identify seven statistical features for extraction from raw OES data by reducing the data dimensionality. The experimental results demonstrate that the proposed approach is more suitable for high-accuracy monitoring of plasma etch responses obtained from OES.

이 논문에서는 곤충 발자국의 패턴을 인식하기 위해, 인식의 기본 단위인 세그먼트를 자동 추출하는 기법과 Trace transform을 이용하여 발자국 인식에 필요한 특징을 추출하는 기법을 제안하였다. Trace transform 방법을 이용하면 패턴의 크기, 이동, 회전, 반사에 불변하는 특징값을 얻을 수 있다. 이러한 특징값들은 곤충 발자국과 같이 다양한 변형이 존재하는 패턴을 인식하는 데에 적합하다. 특징값을 도출하기 위한 첫 번째 단계로는 추출된 세그먼트에 대한 Trace transform을 통해 새로운 Trace 이미지를 생성시킨다. 그런 다음 병렬로 표현되는 trace-line을 따라 특성 함수에 의해 특징들이 일차적으로 도출되고, 또 다시 도출된 특징들은 diametric, circus 단계의 함수를 거치면서 새로운 특징값으로 재구성된다. 2가지 서로 다른 곤충의 발자국 패턴을 이용하여 실험한 결과 곤충 발자국의 크기, 이동, 회전, 반사에 관계없이 인식에 적합한 특징값들이 추출됨을 확인할 수 있었다.

In this paper, we propose a neural network for extracting dashed lines from map images based on the feature extracting path be found in a cat and monkey's visual cortex. The proposed system converts a color image to a binary image and extracts the lines per orientation. Next, the system removes the lines longer than the dashed line and extracts the dashed lines by finding the consecutive short lines. The proposed system for extracting the dashed lines was tested using 1/25,000 scaled maps published by the National Geographic Institute of Korea. This paper shows that the proposed system can extract the dashed-lines from maps.

In this work a new method for on-line scene segmentation is developed. In remote sensing a scene is represented by the pixel-oriented features. It is possible to reduce data redundancy by an unsupervised segment-feature extraction process, where the segment-features, rather than the pixelfeatures, are used for multispectral scene representation. The algorithm partitions the observation space into exhaustive set of disjoint segments. Then, pixels belonging to each segment are characterized by segment features. Illustrative examples are presented, and the performance of features is investigated. Results show an average compression more than 25, the classification performance is improved for all classes, and the CPU time required for classification is reduced by the same factor.

Vehicle localization is one of the core technologies for autonomous driving. Image-based localization provides location information efficiently, and various related studies have been conducted. However, the image-based localization methods using feature points or lane information has a limitation that positioning accuracy may be greatly affected by road and driving environments. In this study, we propose a line segment matching framework for accurate vehicle localization. The proposed framework consists of four steps: line segment extraction, merging, overlap area detection, and MSLD-based segment matching. The proposed framework stably performed line segment matching at a sufficient level for vehicle positioning regardless of vehicle speed, driving method, and surrounding environment.

최근 정보 관련 산업 발달과 더불어 공간 정보의 중요성이 점점 강조되어, 국가 차원의 지리정보체계가 구현되고 있다. 국토지리정보원이 구축하고 있는 수치지도는 DXF로 제작되는데, 이 DXF맵은 GIS분야에서 필요한 속성정보나 위상정보를 갖지 못하여 지리정보 통합에 어려움이 있다. 지리정보의 여러 분야에 걸쳐 효율적인 데이터의 공유가 가능하도록 DXF파일에서 공간 개체를 추출하는 연구는 매우 중요하다. 본 논문에서는 DXF 파일에서 다양한 공간 개체를 추출하는 효율적인 공간 개체 추출기를 제안한다. 공간 개체 추출기는 DXF파일을 구성하는 요소들 중에 POLYLINE, POINT, CIRCLE, TEXT, ARC, LINE의 수치값을 비교하여 그에 해당하는 좌표값을 DAT 파일에 저장한다. 제안된 시스템은 웹상에서도 사용할 수 있다. 사용자는 단순히 웹서버에 DXF 파일을 업로드해서 공간 개체 추출기를 실행하여 결과를 다운로드 받아 활용할 수 있다.
