본 논문에서는 초음파 영상에서 로그 전력 스펙트럼(log power spectrum)을 이용한 장기 인식 알고리듬을 제시한다. 제안한 알고리듬은 크게 특징추출과 특징분류의 두 단계로 구성된다. 특징추출에서는 이동불변의 성질을 가지는 로그 전력 스펙트럼을 이용하여 전처리를 수행한 입력 영상으로부터 장기 조직의 반향(echo of the tissue) 성분을 추출한다. 특징 분류에서는 마하라노비스(Mahalanobis) 거리를 사용하여 입력영상으로부터 추출한 특징벡터와 각 영상 부류의 평균벡터 사이의 유사도를 측정한다. 실제 초음파 영상에 대한 실험결과는 제안된 알고리듬이 전력 스펙트럼(power spectrum)과 유클리드(Euclid) 거리를 이용한 인식 알고리듬보다 최대 30% 향상된 인식률을, 또 가중 큐프런시(weighted quefrency) 복소 켑스트럼(complex cepstrum)을 이용한 알고리듬보다 10∼40% 향상된 인식률을 보여준다.

This paper proposes an efficient feature extraction of the images by using independent component analysis(ICA) based on neural networks of the hybrid learning algorithm. The proposed learning algorithm is the fixed point(FP) algorithm based on Newton method and moment. The Newton method, which uses to the tangent line for estimating the root of function, is applied for fast updating the inverse mixing matrix. The moment is also applied for getting the better speed-up by restraining an oscillation due to compute the tangent line. The proposed algorithm has been applied to the 10,000 image patches of $12{\times}12$-pixel that are extracted from 13 natural images. The 144 features of $12{\times}12$-pixel and the 160 features of $16{\times}16$-pixel have been extracted from all patches, respectively. The simulation results show that the extracted features have a localized characteristics being included in the images in space, as well as in frequency and orientation. And the proposed algorithm has better performances of the learning speed than those using the conventional FP algorithm based on Newton method.

There has been a lot of attention paid recently to analyze dynamic human gestures that vary over time. Most attention to dynamic gestures concerns with spatio-temporal features, as compared to analyzing each frame of gestures separately. For accurate dynamic gesture recognition, motion feature extraction algorithms need to find representative features that uniquely identify time-varying gestures. This paper proposes a new feature-extraction algorithm using temporal self-similarity based on a hierarchical human model. Because a conventional temporal self-similarity method computes a whole movement among the continuous frames, the conventional temporal self-similarity method cannot recognize different gestures with the same amount of movement. The proposed model-based temporal self-similarity method groups body parts of a hierarchical model into several sets and calculates movements for each set. While recognition results can depend on how the sets are made, the best way to find optimal sets is to separate frequently used body parts from less-used body parts. Then, we apply a multiclass support vector machine whose optimization algorithm is based on structural support vector machines. In this paper, the effectiveness of the proposed feature extraction algorithm is demonstrated in an application for taebo gesture recognition. We show that the model-based temporal self-similarity method can overcome the shortcomings of the conventional temporal self-similarity method and the recognition results of the model-based method are superior to that of the conventional method.

This paper describes an implementation of linear feature extraction algorithms for satellite images and a method of automatic GCP(Ground Control Point) filing using the extracted linear feature. We propose a new linear feature extraction algorithm which uses magnitude and direction information of edges. The result of applying the proposed algorithm to satellite images are presented and compared with those of the other algorithms. By using the proposed algorithm, automatic GCP filing was successfully performed.

There are numerous emotions in the human world. Human expresses and recognizes their emotion using various channels. The example is an eye, nose and mouse. Particularly, in the emotion recognition from facial expression they can perform the very flexible and robust emotion recognition because of utilization of various channels. Hybrid-feature extraction algorithm is based on this human process. It uses the geometrical feature extraction and the color distributed histogram. And then, through the independently parallel learning of the neural-network, input emotion is classified. Also, for the natural classification of the emotion, advancing two-dimensional emotion space is introduced and used in this paper. Advancing twodimensional emotion space performs a flexible and smooth classification of emotion.

In order to retrieve the rotated image within database by the content based image retrieval system, the algorithms with rotation robustness is usually applied in the procedure of the feature extraction. In that case, it requires much calculation time for feature extraction and much indexed data for feature indexing. Thus. in this paper. we propose the rotation robust algorithm using the block variance of the projected vector. The algorithm does not require additional calculation for feature extraction and is executed within query time by comparing the extracted data. Proposed method can be processed through database including various size of images with shape information and executed with fast response time in implementation.

본 연구에서는 여러 제조 공정에서 발생하는 주기 신호의 불규칙한 길이를 보정하기 위하여 시불변 특징점 추출 및 정합(Time Invariant Feature point Extraction and Matching, 이하 TIFEM)을 이용한 길이보정 알고리즘을 제안한다. 신호 중간에 길이 변동이 발생 하는 주기신호의 경우 정확하게 길이를 보정하기 위해서는 더 많은 수의 특징점이 필요하며, 추출된 특징점은 신호의 패턴 정보를 포함하고 시간과 크기에 불변한 성질을 가져야 한다. 본 연구에서 제안하는 TIFEM알고리즘은 위의 성질을 가지는 신호 고유의 특성을 추출하고 추출한 특성들을 각각 시점에 해당하는 특성 벡터로 구성한다. 구성된 특성 벡터에서 유효한 벡터만을 걸러내어 길이보정을 위한 특징점으로 선정한다. 선정된 특징점들을 정합한 후 구간별로 길이를 보정하여 보다 정확한 주기 신호의 길이보정을 수행한다. 제안한 알고리즘의 성능을 검증하기 위하여 실제 반도체 공정에서 발생되는 3종류의 신호를 모방하여 생성한 실험데이터를 이용하여 실험을 수행하였다.

This paper introduces a new local feature extraction method and image matching method for the localization and classification of targets. Proposed method is based on the block-by-block projection associated with directional pattern of blocks. Each pattern has its own eigen-vertors called as CEBs(Classified Eigen-Blocks). Also proposed block-based image matching method is robust to translation and occlusion. Performance of proposed feature extraction and matching method is verified by the face localization and FLIR-vehicle-image classification test.

Accurate and robust image registration is important task in many applications such as image retrieval and computer vision. To perform the image registration, essential required steps are needed in the process: feature detection, extraction, matching, and reconstruction of image. In the process of these function, feature extraction not only plays a key role, but also have a big effect on its performance. There are two representative algorithms for extracting image features, which are scale invariant feature transform (SIFT) and speeded up robust feature (SURF). In this paper, we present and evaluate two methods, focusing on comparative analysis of the performance. Experiments for accurate and robust feature detection are shown on various environments such like scale changes, rotation and affine transformation. Experimental trials revealed that SURF algorithm exhibited a significant result in both extracting feature points and matching time, compared to SIFT method.

얼굴 분석은 얼굴 인식 머리 움직임과 얼굴 표정을 이용한 인간과 컴퓨터사이의 인터페이스, 모델 기반 코딩, 가상현실 등 많은 응용 분야에서 유용하게 활용된다. 이러한 응용 분야에서는 얼굴의 특징점들을 정확하게 추출해야 한다. 본 논문에서는 눈, 눈썹, 입술의 코너와 같은 얼굴 특징을 자동으로 추출하는 방법을 제안한다. 먼저, 입력 영상으로부터 AdaBoost 기반의 객체 검출 기법을 이용하여 얼굴 영역을 추출한다. 그 다음에는 계곡 에너지. 명도 에너지, 경계선 에너지의 세 가지 특징 에너지를 계산하여 결합한다. 구해진 특징 에너지 영상에 대하여 에너지 값이 큰 수평 방향향의 사각형을 탐색함으로써 특징 영역을 검출한다. 마지막으로 특징 영역의 가장자리 부분에서 코너 검출 알고리즘을 적용함으로써 눈, 눈썹, 입술의 코너를 검출한다. 본 논문에서 제안된 얼굴 특징 추출 방법은 세 가지의 특징 에너지를 결합하여 사용하고 계곡 에너지와 명도 에너지의 계산이 조명 변화에 적응적인 특성을 갖도록 함으로써, 다양한 환경 조건하에서 견고하게 얼굴 특징을 추출할 수 있다.
