In this research, for the first time, we tried to analyse Raman hyperspectral dentin data using Independent Component Analysis (ICA) to see its possibility of adoption for the dental analysis software. We captured hyperspectral dentin data on 569 spots on a molar with dental lesion by HR800 Micro Raman Spectrometer at UMKC-CRISP (University of Missouri at Kansas City-Center for Research on Interfacial Structure and Properties). Each spot has 1,005 hyperspectral data. We applied ICA to the captured hyperspectral data of dentin for evaluating ICA approach, and compared it with the well known multivariate analysis method, PCA. As a result of the experiment, ICA approach shows better local characteristic of dentin than the result of PCA. We confirmed that ICA also could be a good method along with PCA in the dental analysis software.

The information-theoretic approach to face recognition is based on the compact coding where face images are decomposed into a small set of basis images. Most popular method for the compact coding may be the principal component analysis (PCA) which eigenface methods are based on. PCA based methods exploit only second-order statistical structure of the data, so higher- order statistical dependencies among pixels are not considered. Independent component analysis (ICA) is a signal processing technique whose goal is to express a set of random variables as linear combinations of statistically independent component variables. ICA exploits high-order statistical structure of the data that contains important information. In this paper we employ the ICA for the efficient feature extraction from face images and show that ICA outperforms the PCA in the task of face recognition. Experimental results using a simple nearest classifier and multi layer perceptron (MLP) are presented to illustrate the performance of the proposed method.

In this paper, a novel human activity recognition method is proposed which utilizes independent components of activity shape information from image sequences and Hidden Markov Model (HMM) for recognition. Activities are represented by feature vectors from Independent Component Analysis (ICA) on video images, and based on these features; recognition is achieved by trained HMMs of activities. Our recognition performance has been compared to the conventional method where Principle Component Analysis (PCA) is typically used to derive activity shape features. Our results show that superior recognition is achieved with our proposed method especially for activities (e.g., skipping) that cannot be easily recognized by the conventional method.

Independent component analysis (ICA) is a signal processing technique used for un-mixing of the mixed recorded signals. In wireless communication, ICA is mainly used in multiple input multiple output (MIMO) systems. Most of the existing work regarding the ICA applications in MIMO systems assumed static or quasi static wireless channels. Performance of the ICA algorithms degrades in case of time varying wireless channels and is further degraded if the data block lengths are reduced to get the quasi stationarity. In this paper, we propose an ICA based MIMO transceiver that performs well in time varying wireless channels, even for smaller data blocks. Simulation is performed over quadrature amplitude modulated (QAM) signals. Results show that the proposed transceiver system outperforms the existing MIMO system utilizing the FastICA and the OBAICA algorithms in both the transceiver systems for time varying wireless channels. Performance improvement is observed for different data blocks lengths and signal to noise ratios (SNRs).

본 논문에서는 수동 선배열 소나의 저주파 영역에서 수신된 표적 신호로부터 간섭신호를 분리해 내기 위해 독립성분분석 알고리즘을 적용하는 방안을 제안하고 기존 알고리즘들의 성능을 비교해 보았다. 저주파 대역 신호의 경우 비교적 넓은 방위로부터 수신되기 때문에 인접 빔 신호를 관측신호로 활용하여 독립성분분석을 수행할 수 있다. 신호분리에 사용한 독립성분분석 알고리즘은 FastICA(Fast Independent Component Analysis), NNMF (Non-negative Matrix Factorization), JADE (Joint Approximation Diagonalization of Eigen-matrices)이다. 실측 선배열 수동소나신호를 이용하여 독립성분분석을 수행한 결과 제안한 방법으로 간섭신호분리가 가능함을 확인하였으며, JADE 알고리즘의 신호 분리 성능이 가장 우수한 것으로 나타났다.

기존 음성 인식의 실세계 적용에서 큰 문제점은 잡음이다. 본 논문에서는 잡음이 섞인 음성 신호로부터 잡음 성분을 분리해 내는 방법을 제안한다. 이 방법은 잡음이 섞인 음성 신호에 독립성분분석(ICA:Independent Component Analysis)을 사용한 암묵신호 분리(blind source separation)를 적용하여 잡음 성분을 제거하게 된다. 잡음이 혼합된 음성 신호에 독립성분분석을 전처리(preprocessing) 과정에 이용함으로써 인식성능을 향상시킬 수 있다. 깨끗한 음성 신호에 음악과 거리잡음을 섞었을 경우 인식률이 잡음 없는 음성의 인식률보다 각각 최대 14.98%, 13.78%까지 저하되었다. 그러나 독립성분분석으로 복원된 음성의 경우 잡음 없는 음성의 인식률 수준(각각 97.39%, 96.49%)으로 나타났으며, 독립성분분석을 이용한 음성의 잡음 제거가 인식률 향상에 좋은 결과를 가져옴을 확인 할 수 있다.

In this paper, a new method for the mixed image separation is presented using the independent component analysis, the innovation process, and the expectation-maximization. In general, the independent component analysis (ICA) is one of the widely used statistical signal processing scheme that represents the information from observations as a set of random variables in the form of linear combinations of another statistically independent component variables. In various useful applications, ICA provides a more meaningful representation of the data than the principal component analysis through the transformation of the data to be quasi-orthogonal to each other, which can be utilized in linear p...

Sparse coding은 최소한의 active한 (non-orthogonal) basis vector를 이용하여 데이터를 표시하는 하나의 방법이다. Sparse coding에서 basis coefficient들이 statistically independent 하다는 constraint를 주기에 sparse coding은 independent component analysis(ICA)와 밀접한 관계를 가지고 있다. 본 논문에서는 sparse representation을 위하여 super-Gaussian prior를 이용한 ICA, 즉 sparse ICA 방법을 제시한다. Sparse ICA 방법을 이용하여 natural scenes의 basis vector를 찾고 이와 sparse coding과의 관계를 고찰한다. 여러 가지 super-Gaussian prior들을 고려하지 않고 이들이 ICA에 미치는 영향에 대해 살펴본다.

This paper presents a hybrid method for recognizing the faces by using principal component analysis(PCA) and fixed-point independent component analysis(FP-ICA). PCA is used to whiten the data, which reduces the effects of second-order statistics to the nonlinearities. FP-ICA is applied to extract the statistically independent features of face image. The proposed method has been applied to the problems for recognizing the 20 face images(10 persons * 2 scenes) of 324*243 pixels from Yale face database. The 3 distances such as city-block, Euclidean, negative angle are used as measures when match the probe images to the nearest gallery images. The experimental results show that the proposed method has a superior recognition performances(speed, rate). The negative angle has been relatively achieved more an accurate similarity than city-block or Euclidean.

Various methods for blind source separation (BSS) are based on independent component analysis (ICA) which can be viewed as a nonlinear extension of principal component analysis (PCA). Most existing ICA methods require certain nonlinear functions (which leads to higher-order statistics) depending on the probability distributions of sources, whereas PCA is a linear learning method based on second-order statistics. In this paper we show that the PCA can be applied to the task of BBS, provided that source are spatially uncorrelated but temporally correlated. Since the resulting method is based on only second-order statistics, it avoids the nonlinear function and is able to separate mixtures of several colored Gaussian sources, in contrast to the conventional ICA methods.
