In this work a Discrete Cosine Transform (DCT)-based feature dimensionality reduced approach for fingerprint matching is proposed. The DCT is applied on a small region around the core point of fingerprint image. The performance of our proposed method is evaluated on a small database of Bologna University and two large databases of FVC2000. A dimensionally reduced feature vector is formed using only approximately 19%, 7%, and 6% DCT coefficients for the three databases from Bologna University and FVC2000, respectively. We compared the results of our proposed method with the discrete wavelet transform (DWT) method, the rotated wavelet filters (RWFs) method, and a combination of DWT+RWF and DWT+(HL+LH) subbands of RWF. The proposed method reduces the false acceptance rate from approximately 18% to 4% on DB1 (Database of Bologna University), approximately 29% to 16% on DB2 (FVC2000), and approximately 26% to 17% on DB3 (FVC2000) over the DWT based feature extraction method.

This study has proposed visual-feature extraction methods for each band in wavelet domain with both spatial frequency features and multi resolution features. In addition, it has brought forward similarity measurement method using fuzzy theory and new color feature expression method taking advantage of the frequency of the same color after color quantization for reducing quantization error, a disadvantage of the existing color histogram intersection method. Experiments are performed on a database containing 1,000 color images. The proposed method gives better performance than the conventional method in both objective and subjective performance evaluation.

유동 가시화란 가시화 기술의 한 영역으로, 벡터 데이터를 2차원 또는 3차원의 형태로 시각적으로 표출하는 것을 말한다. 즉, 일반적으로 벡터 데이터는 (x, y, z)의 형식으로 이루어져 있는 수열의 집합인데, 이를 사람이 그 특징을 쉽게 인지할 수 있도록 그림 또는 애니메이션으로 표시하는 것을 말한다. 유동 가시화 기법에는 여러 가지가 있지만 영상 기반 유동 가시화 기법(IBFV)은 현존하는 조밀한 인티그레이션 기법들 중 가장 빠른 기법 중 하나이다. 본 논문에서는 GPU를 이용해서 영상 기반 유동 가시화 기법을 가속하고 이를 구현했는데, 특히, 메쉬어드벡션 (mesh advection)을 꼭지점 프로그램을 이용해서 가속했다.

Clustering is one of the most fundamental algorithms in machine learning. The performance of clustering is affected by the distribution of data, and when there are more data or more dimensions, the performance is degraded. For this reason, we use a stacked auto encoder, one of the deep learning algorithms, to reduce the dimension of data which generate a feature vector that best represents the input data. We use k-means, which is a famous algorithm, as a clustering. Sine the feature vector which reduced dimensions are also multi dimensional, we use the Euclidean distance as well as the cosine similarity to increase the performance which calculating the similarity between the center of the cluster and the data as a vector. A deep clustering networks combining a stacked auto encoder and k-means re-trains the networks when the k-means result changes. When re-training the networks, the loss function of the stacked auto encoder and the loss function of the k-means are combined to improve the performance and the stability of the network. Experiments of benchmark image ad document dataset empirically validated the power of the proposed algorithm.

지속적으로 우주파편이 증가하고 있는 상황에서 국가 우주자산을 안전하게 보호하고 우주개발국으로서 우주환경 보호에 관심을 가지는 것은 중요하다. 우주파편의 급격한 증가를 막기 위한 효과적인 방법 중 하나는 충돌위험이 큰 우주파편들, 그리고 임무가 종료된 폐기위성을 직접 제거해 나가는 것이다. 본 논문에서는 영상기반 우주파편 추적시스템의 안정적인 인식모델을 위해 인공신경망을 적용한 연구에 대해 다루었다. 한국항공우주연구원에서 개발한 지상기반 우주쓰레기 청소위성 테스트베드인 KARICAT을 활용하여 우주환경이 모사된 영상을 획득하였고, 깊이불연속성에 기인한 영상분할 후 각 객체에 대한 구조 및 색상 기반 특징을 부호화한 벡터를 추출하였다. 특징벡터는 3차원 표면적, 점군의 주성분 벡터, 2차원 형상정보, 색상기반 정보로 구성되어있으며, 이 범주를 기반으로 분리한 특징벡터를 입력으로 하는 인공신경망 모델을 설계하였다. 또한 인공신경망의 성능 향상을 위해 입력되는 특징벡터의 범주에 따라 모델을 분할하여 각 모델 별 학습 후 앙상블기법을 적용하였다. 적용 결과 앙상블 기법에 따른 인식 모델의 성능 향상을 확인하였다.

In retrieving large database of image data, the clustering is essential for fast retrieval. However, it is difficult to cluster a number of image data adequately. Moreover, current retrieval methods using similarities are uncertain of retrieval accuracy and take much retrieving time. In this paper, a suggested image retrieval system combines Fuzzy ART neural network algorithm to reinforce defects and to support them efficiently. This image retrieval system takes color and texture as specific feature required in retrieval system and normalizes each of them. We adapt Fuzzy ART algorithm as neural network which receive normalized input-vector and propose improved Fuzzy ART algorithm. The result of implementation with 200 image data shows approximately retrieval ratio of 83%.

Multi-Instance Learning(MIL) performs well to deal with inherently ambiguity of images in multimedia retrieval. In this paper, an effective framework for Contented-Based Image Retrieval(CBIR) with MIL techniques is proposed, the effective mechanism is based on the image segmentation employing improved Mean Shift algorithm, and processes the segmentation results utilizing mathematical morphology, where the goal is to detect the semantic concepts contained in the query. Every sub-image detected is represented as a multiple features vector which is regarded as an instance. Each image is produced to a bag comprised of a flexible number of instances. And we apply a few number of MIL algorithms in this framework to perform the retrieval. Extensive experimental results illustrate the excellent performance in comparison with the existing methods of CBIR with MIL.

For many years, researchers in face description area have been representing and recognizing faces based on different methods that include subspace discriminant analysis, statistical learning and non-statistics based approach etc. But still automatic face recognition remains an interesting but challenging problem. This paper presents a novel and efficient face image representation method based on Optimized Local Ternary Pattern (OLTP) texture features. The face image is divided into several regions from which the OLTP texture feature distributions are extracted and concatenated into a feature vector that can act as face descriptor. The recognition is performed using nearest neighbor classification method with Chi-square distance as a similarity measure. Extensive experimental results on Yale B, ORL and AR face databases show that OLTP consistently performs much better than other well recognized texture models for face recognition.

For human-robot interaction, a robot should recognize the meaning of human behavior. In the case of static behavior such as face expression and sign language, the information contained in a single image is sufficient to deliver the meaning to the robot. In the case of dynamic behavior such as gestures, however, the information of sequential images is required. This paper proposes behavior classification by using fuzzy classifier to deliver the meaning of dynamic behavior to the robot. The proposed method extracts feature points from input images by a skeleton model, generates a vector space from a differential image of the extracted feature points, and uses this information as the learning data for fuzzy classifier. Finally, we show the effectiveness and the feasibility of the proposed method through experiments.

Hand gesture recognition based on vision is a challenging task in human-robot interaction. The sign language of finger spelling alphabets has been tested as a kind of hand gesture. In this paper, we test hand gesture recognition by detecting the contour shape and orientation of hand with visual image. The method has three stages, the first stage of finding hand component separated from the background image, the second stage of extracting the contour feature over the hand component and the last stage of comparing the feature with the reference features in the database. Here, finger spelling alphabets are used to verify the performance of our system and our method shows good performance to discriminate finger alphabets.
