In this study, fur the shape-based image retrieval, a method using local differential invariants is proposed. This method calculates the differential invariant feature vector at every feature point extracted by Harris comer point detector. Then through vector quantization using LBG algorithm, all feature vectors are represented by a codebook index. All images are indexed by the histogram of codebook index, and by comparing the histograms the similarity between images is obtained. The proposed method is compared with the existing method by performing experiments for image database including various 1100 trademarks.

본 논문은 화자 독립의 음성인식을 위한 연구로써, DMS 모델에 의한 DMSVQ(Dynamic Multi-Section Vector Quantization) 코드북과 이중 스펙트럼 특징을 이용한 HMM(Hidden Markov Model) 음성인식 방법을 제안한다. 정적 스펙트럼 특징으로서는 LPC ?S스트럼 계수를 이용하였고, 동적 스펙트럼 특징으로는 LPC ?S스트럼의 회귀계수를 사용하였다. 이들 두개의 스펙트럼 특징들을 각각 VQ 코드북으로 양자화되고, DMS 모델을 이용한 HMM은 입력으로써 정적 스펙트럼 특징과 동적 스펙트럼 특징을 받아드림으로써 모델링된다. 제안된 방법에 의한 인식 실험은 기존의 다양한 인식 방법에 의한 인식 실험들과 비교를 위해 동일한 데이터와 조건 하에서 수행하였다. 실험 결과, 본 연구에서 제안한 방법이 기존의 방법들보다 우수한 방법임을 입증하였다.

Most of previous visual attention system finds attention regions based on saliency map which is combined by multiple extracted features. The differences of these systems are in the methods of feature extraction and combination. This paper presents a new system which has an improvement in feature extraction method of color and motion, and in weight decision method of spatial and temporal features. Our system dynamically extracts one color which has the strongest response among two opponent colors, and detects the moving objects not moving pixels. As a combination method of spatial and temporal feature, the proposed system sets the weight dynamically by each features' relative activities. Comparative results show that our suggested feature extraction and integration method improved the detection rate of attention region.

One of the most widely used methods for dimensionality reduction is principal component analysis (PCA). However, the reduced dimensions from PCA do not provide a clear interpretation with respect to the original features because they are linear combinations of a large number of original features. This interpretation problem can be overcome by feature selection approaches that identifying the best subset of given features. In this study, we propose an unsupervised feature selection method based on the geometrical information of PCA loading vectors. Experimental results from a simulation study demonstrated the efficiency and usefulness of the proposed method.

Global localization is one of the essential issues for mobile robot navigation. In this study, an indoor global localization method is proposed which uses a Kinect sensor and a monocular upward-looking camera. The proposed method generates an environment map which consists of a grid map, a ceiling feature map from the upward-looking camera, and a spatial feature map obtained from the Kinect sensor. The method selects robot pose candidates using the spatial feature map and updates sample poses by particle filter based on the grid map. Localization success is determined by calculating the matching error from the ceiling feature map. In various experiments, the proposed method achieved a position accuracy of 0.12m and a position update speed of 10.4s, which is robust enough for real-world applications.

Feature-based similarity retrieval has become an important research issue in multimedia database systems. The features of multimedia data are useful for discriminating between multimedia objects (e 'g', documents, images, video, music score, etc.). For example, images are represented by their color histograms, texture vectors, and shape descriptors, and are usually high-dimensional data. The performance of conventional multidimensional data structures(e'g', R- Tree family, K-D-B tree, grid file, TV-tree) tends to deteriorate as the number of dimensions of feature vectors increases. The R＊-tree is the most successful variant of the R-tree. In this paper, we propose a SOM-based R＊-tree as a new indexing method for high-dimensional feature vectors.The SOM-based R＊-tree combines SOM and R＊-tree to achieve search performance more scalable to high dimensionalities. Self-Organizing Maps (SOMs) provide mapping from high-dimensional feature vectors onto a two dimensional space. The mapping preserves the topology of the feature vectors. The map is called a topological of the feature map, and preserves the mutual relationship (similarity) in the feature spaces of input data, clustering mutually similar feature vectors in neighboring nodes. Each node of the topological feature map holds a codebook vector. A best-matching-image-list. (BMIL) holds similar images that are closest to each codebook vector. In a topological feature map, there are empty nodes in which no image is classified. When we build an R＊-tree, we use codebook vectors of topological feature map which eliminates the empty nodes that cause unnecessary disk access and degrade retrieval performance. We experimentally compare the retrieval time cost of a SOM-based R＊-tree with that of an SOM and an R＊-tree using color feature vectors extracted from 40, 000 images. The result show that the SOM-based R＊-tree outperforms both the SOM and R＊-tree due to the reduction of the number of nodes required to build R＊-tree and retrieval time cost.

In this paper, we propose efficient content-based image retrieval methods using the automatic extraction of the low-level visual features as image content. Two new feature extraction methods are presented. The first one os an advanced color feature extraction derived from the modification of Stricker's method. The second one is a texture feature extraction using some DCT coefficients which represent some dominant directions and gray level variations of the image. In the experiment with an image database of 200 natural images, the proposed methods show higher performance than other methods. They can be combined into an efficient hierarchical retrieval method.

본 논문은 두 가지 속성 삭제 방법인 ReliefF와 SVM-REF를 조합하여 유전자 선택을 위한 속성 삭제에 기반을 둔 최적화된 분류법(OCFE)을 제안한다. ReliefF 알고리즘은 데이터의 중요도에 따라 데이터 순위를 매기고 필터(filter) 속성 선택 알고리즘이다. SVM-RFE 알고리즘은 속성의 가중치 기반으로 데이터 순위를 매기고 데이터를 감싸는 래퍼(wrapper) 속성 선택 알고리즘이다. 이러한 두 가지 기법을 조합함으로써, 우리는 SVM-RFE는 0.3096779이고 OCFE는 0.3016138으로 에러율 평균이 좀 더 낮게 나타났다. 또한, 제안된 기법은 SVM-RFE가 69%이고 OCFE는 70%으로 좀 더 정확한 것으로 나타났다.

Image stitching is a process of combining two or more images with overlapping area to create a panorama of input images, which is considered as an active research area in computer vision, especially in the field of augmented reality with 360 degree images. Image stitching techniques can be categorized into two general approaches: direct and feature based techniques. Direct techniques compare all the pixel intensities of the images with each other, while feature based approaches aim to determine a relationship between the images through distinct features extracted from the images. This paper proposes a novel image stitching method based on feature pixels with approximated clustering filter. When the features are extracted from input images, we calculate a meaning of the minutiae, and apply an effective feature extraction algorithm to improve the processing time. With the evaluation of the results, the proposed method is corresponding accurate and effective, compared to the previous approaches.
