This paper studies the skewness of the absolute value GARCH(1, 1) models with Gaussian mixture innovations (Gaussian mixture AVGARCH(1, 1) models). The maximum estimated-likelihood estimator (MELE) employed (a two- step estimation method in order to estimate the skewness of Gaussian mixture AVGARCH(1, 1) models. Through the real data analysis, the adequacy of adopting Gaussian mixture innovations is exhibited in reflecting the skewness of two major Korean stock indices.

We propose an efficient mixture Gaussian synthesis method for decision tree based state tying that produces better context-dependent models in a short period of training time. This method makes it possible to handle mixture Gaussian HMMs in decision tree based state tying algorithm, and provides higher recognition performance compared to the conventional HMM training procedure using decision tree based state tying on single Gaussian GMMs. This method also reduces the steps of HMM training procedure. We applied this method to training of PBS, and we expect to achieve a little point improvement in phoneme accuarcy and reduction in training time.

It is essential to estimate the vehicle localization for an autonomous safety driving. In particular, since LIDAR provides precise scan data, many studies carried out to estimate the vehicle localization using LIDAR and pre-generated map. The road marking always exists on the road because of provides driving information. Therefore, it is often used for map information. In this paper, we propose to generate the Gaussian mixture map based on road-marking information and localization method using this map. Generally, the probability distributions map stores the single Gaussian distribution for each grid. However, single resolution probability distributions map cannot express complex shapes when grid resolution is large. In addition, when grid resolution is small, map size is bigger and process time is longer. Therefore, it is difficult to apply the road marking. On the other hand, Gaussian mixture distribution can effectively express the road marking by several probability distributions. In this paper, we generate Gaussian mixture map and perform vehicle localization using Gaussian mixture map. Localization performance is analyzed through the experimental result.

We propose a method for target detection in Infrared images. In order to effectively detect a target region from an image with noises and clutters, spatial information of the target is first considered by analyzing pixel distributions of projections in horizontal and vertical directions. These distributions are represented as Gaussian distributions, and Gaussian Mixture Model is created from these distributions in order to find thresholding points of the target region. Through analyzing the calculated Gaussian Mixture Model, the target region is detected by eliminating various backgrounds such as noises and clutters. This is performed by using a novel thresholding method which can effectively detect the target region. As experimental results, the proposed method has achieved better performance than existing methods.

Gaussian error distributions are a common choice in traditional regression models for the maximum likelihood (ML) method. However, this distributional assumption is often suspicious especially when the error distribution is skewed or has heavy tails. In both cases, the ML method under normality could break down or lose efficiency. In this paper, we consider the log-concave and Gaussian scale mixture distributions for error distributions. For the log-concave errors, we propose to use a smoothed maximum likelihood estimator for stable and faster computation. Based on this, we perform comparative simulation studies to see the performance of coefficient estimates under normal, Gaussian scale mixture, and log-concave errors. In addition, we also consider real data analysis using Stack loss plant data and Korean labor and income panel data.

Images are unavoidably contaminated with different types of noise during the processes of image acquisition and transmission. The main forms of noise are impulse noise (is also called salt and pepper noise) and Gaussian noise. In this paper, an effective method of removing mixed noise from images is proposed. In general, different types of denoising methods are designed for different types of noise; for example, the median filter displays good performance in removing impulse noise, and the wavelet denoising algorithm displays good performance in removing Gaussian noise. However, images are affected by more than one type of noise in many cases. To reduce both impulse noise and Gaussian noise, this paper proposes a denoising method that combines adaptive median filtering (AMF) based on impulse noise detection with the wavelet threshold denoising method based on a Gaussian mixture model (GMM). The simulation results show that the proposed method achieves much better denoising performance than the median filter or the wavelet denoising method for images contaminated with mixed noise.

A camera is mounted vertically downwards viewing the people heads from the top. This configuration is successful in people counting technique especially when only a few isolated people pass through a counting region in a non-crowded situation. Thus, this paper describes object counting which detects and count moving people using mixture of gaussian and motion vector. This method is intended to estimates the number of people in outdoor environment. This method use single gaussian background modeling which is more robust an noise and has adaptiveness. The experimental results that is based on mixture of gaussian and motion vector is also helpful to design intelligent surveillance.

Recently, due to the increase of the use of scanned images, the text segmentation techniques, which play critical role to optimize the quality of the scanned images, are required to be updated and advanced. In this study, an algorithm has been developed based on the modification of Gaussian mixture model (GMM) by integrating the calculation of Gaussian detection gradient and the estimation of the number clusters. The experimental results show an efficient method for text segmentation in natural scenes such as storefronts, street signs, scanned journals and newspapers at different size, shape or color of texts in condition of lighting changes and complex background. These indicate that our model algorithm and research approach can address various issues, which are still limitations of other senior algorithms and methods.

이 논문은 입술의 형태를 효과적으로 인식하는 방법을 제안하였다. 입술은 PDM(Point Distribution Model)을 기반으로 점들의 집합으로 표현하였다. 주성분 분석법을 적용하여 입술 모델을 구하고 모델에서 사용하는 형태계수의 분포를 GMM(Gaussian Mixture Model)을 이용하여 구하였다. 이 과정에서 계수를 정하기 위하여 EM(Expectation Maximization) 알고리듬을 사용하였다. 입술 경계선 모델은 입술을 구성하는 각 점과 주변 영역에서의 화소간 변화를 이용하여 구성하였으며 입술 탐색시 사용되었다. 여러 영상을 대상으로 실험한 결과 좋은 결과를 얻었다.
