In this study, a fully automatic pose and expression invariant 3D face alignment algorithm is proposed to handle frontal and profile face images which is based on a two pass course to fine alignment strategy. The first pass of the algorithm coarsely aligns the face images to an intrinsic coordinate system (ICS) through a single 3D rotation and the second pass aligns them at fine level using a minimum nose tip-scanner distance (MNSD) approach. For facial recognition, multi-view faces are synthesized to exploit real 3D information and test the efficacy of the proposed system. Due to optimal separating hyper plane (OSH), Support Vector Machine (SVM) is employed in multi-view face verification (FV) task. In addition, a multi stage unified classifier based face identification (FI) algorithm is employed which combines results from seven base classifiers, two parallel face recognition algorithms and an exponential rank combiner, all in a hierarchical manner. The performance figures of the proposed methodology are corroborated by extensive experiments performed on four benchmark datasets: GavabDB, Bosphorus, UMB-DB and FRGC v2.0. Results show mark improvement in alignment accuracy and recognition rates. Moreover, a computational complexity analysis has been carried out for the proposed algorithm which reveals its superiority in terms of computational efficiency as well.

This paper discusses the method of vision based sensor fusion system for biped robot walking. Most researches on biped walking robot have mostly focused on walking algorithm itself. However, developing vision systems for biped walking robot is an important and urgent issue since biped walking robots are ultimately developed not only for researches but to be utilized in real life. In the research, systems for environment recognition and tele-operation have been developed for task assignment and execution of biped robot as well as for human robot interaction (HRI) system. For carrying out certain tasks, an object tracking system using modified optical flow algorithm and obstacle recognition system using enhanced template matching and hierarchical support vector machine algorithm by wireless vision camera are implemented with sensor fusion system using other sensors installed in a biped walking robot. Also systems for robot manipulating and communication with user have been developed for robot.

To improve classification accuracy in this paper, we proposed an algorithm for the chromosome image reconstruction in the image preprocessing part and also proposed the pattern classification method using the hierarchical multilayer neural network(HMNN) to classify the chromosome karyotype. It reconstructed chromosome images for twenty normal human chromosome by the image reconstruction algorithm. The four morphological and ten density feature parameters were extracted from the 920 reconstructed chromosome images. The each combined feature parameters of ten human chromosome images were used to learn HMNN and the rest of them were used to classify the chromosome images. The experimental results in this paper were composed to optimized HMNN and also obtained about 98.26％ to recognition ratio.

음악 연구에 따른 컴퓨터의 역할이 점자 중요한 비중을 차지함에 따라 보다 효과적인 악보 인식과 효율적인 악보의 편집 및 수정 방법이 요구된다. 기존의 수동 입력 방식에서는 악보를 부정확하게 입력하여 수정하는 경우에는 작업 시간이 많이 소요되며, 각 수정 프로그램에서 만든 악보는 특정 프로그램에서만 재수정이 가능하다는 단점이 있다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 단점을 보완하기 위하여 이미 작성 되어있는 악보들을 자동으로 인식하는 방법을 제안한다. 제안된 악보 인식 방법은 수평 히스토그램을 이용하여 악보 이미지의 오선을 제거한 후, 4방향 윤곽선 추적 알고리즘을 적용하여 잡음을 제거하고 Grassfire 알고리즘을 적용하여 악보 구성 기호들을 추출한다. 추출된 악보 구성 기호들은 Hierarchical ART2 알고리즘을 적용하여 인식한다. 인식된 악보구성 기초들을 이용하여 악보 구성 기호들이 속하는 마디의 위치 정보를 각각 저장하고 향후에 악보 구성 기호의 편집과 수정이 용이하게 한다. 제안된 악보 인식 방법의 성능을 평가하기 위해 100장의 악보 영상을 대상으로 실험한 결과, 제시된 Hierarchical ART2 알고리즘을 이용한 악보 영상의 인식 방법이 실험을 통해서 효율적인 것을 확인하였다.

In this paper, we propose an object recognition system that can effectively find out its category, its instance name, and several attributes from the color and depth images of an object with hierarchical feature learning. In the preprocessing stage, our system transforms the depth images of the object into the surface normal vectors, which can represent the shape information of the object more precisely. In the feature learning stage, it extracts a set of patch features and image features from a pair of the color image and the surface normal vector through two-layered learning. And then the system trains a set of independent classification models with a set of labeled feature vectors and the SVM learning algorithm. Through experiments with UW RGB-D Object Dataset, we verify the performance of the proposed object recognition system.

Worker's awkward postures and unreasonable physical load can be corrected by monitoring construction activities, thereby increasing the safety and productivity of construction workers and projects. However, manual identification is time-consuming and contains high human variance. In this regard, an automated activity recognition system based on inertial measurement unit can help in rapidly and precisely collecting motion data. With the acceleration data, the machine learning algorithm will be used to train classifiers for automatically categorizing activities. However, input acceleration data are extracted either from designed experiments or simple construction work in previous studies. Thus, collected data series are discontinuous and activity categories are insufficient for real construction circumstances. This study aims to collect acceleration data during long-term continuous work in a construction project and validate the feasibility of activity recognition algorithm with the continuous motion data. The data collection covers two different workers performing formwork at the same site. An accelerator, as well as portable camera, is attached to the worker during the entire working session for simultaneously recording motion data and working activity. The supervised machine learning-based models are trained to classify activity in hierarchical levels, which reaches a 96.9% testing accuracy of recognizing rest and work and 85.6% testing accuracy of identifying stationary, traveling, and rebar installation actions.

This paper proposes a new method to recognize map. In order to minimize the ripple effect of one recognition result affecting another, the structural information is represented with a hierarchical model. and the model is used in both the recognition and verification process. Furthermore, lines related to an entity are searched in a used in both the recognition and verification process. Furthermore, lines related to an entity are searched in a reduced search space by defining some relations between lines. When there is a mis-recognition after verificaiton, recognition process will be retired. In the process, the accurate result can obtained through the change of the parameter values used in the algorithm. As a result, the search space is reduced effectively, and even objects that embodies the broken lines and the crossed lines are recognized.

The mobile visual search service uses a query image to acquire linkage information through pre-constructed DB search. From the standpoint of this purpose, it would be more useful if you could perform a search on a web-based keyword search system instead of a pre-built DB search. In this paper, we propose a representative query extraction algorithm to be used as a keyword on a web-based search system. To do this, we use image classification labels generated by the CNN (Convolutional Neural Network) algorithm based on Deep Learning, which has a remarkable performance in image recognition. In the query extraction algorithm, dictionary meaningful words are extracted using Wikipedia, and hierarchical categories are constructed using WordNet. The performance of the proposed algorithm is evaluated by measuring the system response time.
