In this paper, we propose a method to detect contours of a face, eyes, and a mouth of a person in the color image in order to make an avatar automatically. First, we use the HSI color model to exclude the effect of various light conditions, and find skin regions in the input image by using the skin color defined on HS-plane. And then, we use deformable templates and genetic algorithm (GA) to detect contours of a face, eyes, and a mouth. Deformable templates consist of B-spline curves and control point vectors. Those represent various shapes of a face, eyes and a mouth. GA is a very useful search algorithm based on the principals of natural selection and genetics. Second, the avatar is automatically created by using GA-detected contours and Fuzzy C-Means clustering (FCM). FCM is used to reduce the number of face colors. In result, we could create avatars which look like handmade caricatures representing user's identity. Our approach differs from those generated by existing methods.

This paper introduces an evolutionary nonlinear regression based compensation technique for the short-range prediction of wind speed using AWS(Automatic Weather Station) data. Development of an efficient MOS(Model Output Statistics) is necessary to correct systematic errors of the model, but a linear regression based MOS is hard to manage an irregular nature of weather prediction. In order to solve the problem, a nonlinear and symbolic regression method using GP(Genetic Programming) is suggested for a development of MOS wind forecast guidance. Also FCM(Fuzzy C-Means) clustering is adopted to mitigate bias of wind speed data. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the accuracy of the estimation by a GP based nonlinear MOS for 3 days prediction of wind speed in South Korean regions. This method is then compared to the UM model and has shown superior results. Data for 2007-2009, 2011 is used for training, and 2012 is used for testing.

With the technical advances, the amount of big data is increasing day-by-day such that the traditional software tools face a burden in handling them. Additionally, the presence of the imbalance data in big data is a massive concern to the research industry. In order to assure the effective management of big data and to deal with the imbalanced data, this paper proposes a new indexing algorithm for retrieving big data in the MapReduce framework. In mappers, the data clustering is done based on the Sparse Fuzzy-c-means (Sparse FCM) algorithm. The reducer combines the clusters generated by the mapper and again performs data clustering with the Sparse FCM algorithm. The two-level query matching is performed for determining the requested data. The first level query matching is performed for determining the cluster, and the second level query matching is done for accessing the requested data. The ranking of data is performed using the proposed Monarch chaotic whale optimization algorithm (M-CWOA), which is designed by combining Monarch butterfly optimization (MBO) [22] and chaotic whale optimization algorithm (CWOA) [21]. Here, the Parametric Enabled-Similarity Measure (PESM) is adapted for matching the similarities between two datasets. The proposed M-CWOA outperformed other methods with maximal precision of 0.9237, recall of 0.9371, F1-score of 0.9223, respectively.

In this paper, we introduce the fingerprint recognition system based on Radial Basis Function Neural Network(RBFNN). Fingerprints are classified as four types(Whole, Arch, Right roof, Left roof). The preprocessing methods such as fast fourier transform, normalization, calculation of ridge's direction, filtering with gabor filter, binarization and rotation algorithm, are used in order to extract the features on fingerprint images and then those features are considered as the inputs of the network. RBFNN uses Fuzzy C-Means(FCM) clustering in the hidden layer and polynomial functions such as linear, quadratic, and modified quadratic are defined as connection weights of the network. Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) algorithm optimizes a number of essential parameters needed to improve the accuracy of RBFNN. Those optimized parameters include the number of clusters and the fuzzification coefficient used in the FCM algorithm, and the orders of polynomial of networks. The performance evaluation of the proposed fingerprint recognition system is illustrated with the use of fingerprint data sets that are collected through Anguli program.

본 논문은 공간 부호화 패턴들을 이용하여 3차원 얼굴 정보를 정확하게 측정하기 위하여 초기 얼굴 패턴 영상으로부터 이미지 패턴을 검출하기 위한 새로운 알고리즘을 제안한다. 획득된 영상이 불균일하거나 패턴의 경계가 명확하지 않으면 패턴을 분할하기가 어렵다. 그리고 누적된 오류로 인하여 코드화가 되지 않는 영역이 발생한다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 요인에 강하고 코드화가 잘 될 수 있도록 FCM 클러스터링 방법을 이용하였다. 패턴 분할을 위하여 클러스터는 2개, 최대 반복횟수는 100, 임계값은 0.00001로 설정하여 실험하였다. 제안된 패턴 분할 방법은 기존 방법들(Otsu, uniform error, standard deviation, Rioter and Calvard, minimum error, Lloyd)에 비해 8-20%의 분할 효율을 향상시켰다.

Fuzzy C-means (FCM) algorithm is a most usually technique for medical image segmentation. But conventional FCM fails to perform well enough on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) data with the noise and intensity inhomogeneity (IIH). In the paper, we propose a Gamma correction conditional FCM algorithm with spatial information (GcsFCM) to solve this problem. Firstly, the pre-processing, Gamma correction, is introduced to enhance the details of images. Secondly, the spatial information is introduced to reduce the effect of noise. Then we introduce the effective neighborhood mechanism into the local space information to improve the robustness for the noise and inhomogeneity. And the mechanism describes the degree of participation in generating local membership values and building clusters. Finally, the adjustment mechanism and the spatial information are combined into the weighted membership function. Experimental results on four image volumes with noise and IIH indicate that the proposed GcsFCM algorithm is more effective and robust to noise and IIH than the FCM, sFCM and csFCM algorithms.

자기공명영상은 다른 의료영상에 비해서 보다 정확한 해부학적인 진단 정보를 제공해 주므로 널리 이용되고 있다. 본 논문에서는 이차원 축단면 뇌 자기총명영상을 분할하는 자동화 알고리즘과 병별에 의해서 손상된 슬라이스를 검출하는 알고리즘을 제안하였다. 영상분활 과정은 두단계로 구성되어 있는데, 첫 단계에서는 이진화와 형태학적 연산을 이용하여 대뇌영역을 추출하고, 둘째 단계에서는 FCM(Fuzzy C-means)알고리즘을 이용하여 추출된 대뇌 내부의 각 조직을 분할하였다. FCM알고리즘은 분할하는 조직의 수가 증가할수록 급격하게 많은 실행시간을 요구하므로 제안하는 두단계 영상분할 과정을 통하여 실행시간을 향상시켰다. 병변 인식은 해부학적지식과 패턴매칭을 이용하였다.

Recognition of radar emitter signals is one of core elements in radar reconnaissance systems. A novel method based on singular value decomposition (SVD) and the main ridge slice of ambiguity function (AF) is presented for attaining a higher correct recognition rate of radar emitter signals in case of low signal-to-noise ratio. This method calculates the AF of the sorted signal and ascertains the main ridge slice envelope. To improve the recognition performance, SVD is employed to eliminate the influence of noise on the main ridge slice envelope. The rotation angle and symmetric Holder coefficients of the main ridge slice envelope are extracted as the elements of the feature vector. And kernel fuzzy c-means clustering is adopted to analyze the feature vector and classify different types of radar signals. Simulation results indicate that the feature vector extracted by the proposed method has satisfactory aggregation within class, separability between classes, and stability. Compared to existing methods, the proposed feature recognition method can achieve a higher correct recognition rate.

본 논문에서는 소동물 양전자방출단층촬영 영상(Positron Emission Tomography, PET) 내 종양영역을 자동분할하고 분할된 윤곽선주변의 기하학적 위험구간에 따른 종양의 형태특성을 분석하기 위한 방법을 제시한다. PET 영상내 검출된 종양영역의 신뢰성을 위해 위음성(False negative, FN) 및 위양성(False positive, FP)의 위험구간을 같이 제공하는 것이 필요하다. 따라서, 방사선 특이적 특성이 반영된 명암값을 기반으로 Fuzzy C-Means(FCM) 클러스터링을 수행하여 종양영역을 자동 분할한다. 분활된 종양영역의 위험구간은 클러스터 간 공유되는 영역의 소속값을 이용하여 위음성, 위양성을 계산한다. 또한, 임의의 소속값 임계치 변화를 통해 위험구간의 변화에 따른 종양의 형태적 특성변화를 관측한다. 이러한 지역적 변화의 관측을 통해 위험구간의 형태학적 위치를 판단할 수 있어 위험구간에 따른 추가적인 잔여 암의 위치 및 형태 파악을 용이하게 한다.
