With the widespread use of vision-based surveillance systems, the capability for person identification is now an essential component. However, the CCTV cameras used in surveillance systems tend to produce relatively low-resolution images, making it difficult to use face recognition techniques for person identification. Therefore, an algorithm is proposed for person identification in CCTV camera images based on the clothing. Whenever a person is authenticated at the main entrance of a building, the clothing feature of that person is extracted and added to the database. Using a given image, the clothing area is detected using background subtraction and skin color detection techniques. The clothing feature vector is then composed of textural and color features of the clothing region, where the textural feature is extracted based on a local edge histogram, while the color feature is extracted using octree-based quantization of a color map. When given a query image, the person can then be identified by finding the most similar clothing feature from the database, where the Euclidean distance is used as the similarity measure. Experimental results show an 80% success rate for person identification with the proposed algorithm, and only a 43% success rate when using face recognition.

Rock classification is fundamental discipline of exploring geological and geotechnical features in a site, which, however, may not be easy works because of high diversity of rock shape and color according to its origin, geological history and so on. With the great success of convolutional neural networks (CNN) in many different image-based classification tasks, there has been increasing interest in taking advantage of CNN to classify geological material. In this study, a feasibility of the deep CNN is investigated for automatically and accurately identifying rock types, focusing on the condition of various shapes and colors even in the same rock type. It can be further developed to a mobile application for assisting geologist in classifying rocks in fieldwork. The structure of CNN model used in this study is based on a deep residual neural network (ResNet), which is an ultra-deep CNN using in object detection and classification. The proposed CNN was trained on 10 typical rock types with an overall accuracy of 84% on the test set. The result demonstrates that the proposed approach is not only able to classify rock type using images, but also represents an improvement as taking highly diverse rock image dataset as input.

In this study, a preliminary study was undertaken for development of a tunnel incident automatic detection system based on a machine learning algorithm which is to detect a number of incidents taking place in tunnel in real time and also to be able to identify the type of incident. Two road sites where CCTVs are operating have been selected and a part of CCTV images are treated to produce sets of training data. The data sets are composed of position and time information of moving objects on CCTV screen which are extracted by initially detecting and tracking of incoming objects into CCTV screen by using a conventional image processing technique available in this study. And the data sets are matched with 6 categories of events such as lane change, stoping, etc which are also involved in the training data sets. The training data are learnt by a resilience neural network where two hidden layers are applied and 9 architectural models are set up for parametric studies, from which the architectural model, 300(first hidden layer)-150(second hidden layer) is found to be optimum in highest accuracy with respect to training data as well as testing data not used for training. From this study, it was shown that the highly variable and complex traffic and incident features could be well identified without any definition of feature regulation by using a concept of machine learning. In addition, detection capability and accuracy of the machine learning based system will be automatically enhanced as much as big data of CCTV images in tunnel becomes rich.

Steganalysis is to detect information hidden by steganography inside general data such as images. There are stegoanalysis techniques that use machine learning (ML). Existing ML approaches to steganalysis are based on extracting features from stego images and modeling them. Recently deep learning-based methodologies have shown significant improvements in detection accuracy. However, all the existing methods, including deep learning-based ones, have a critical limitation in that they can only detect stego images that are created by a specific steganography method. In this paper, we propose a generalized steganalysis method that can model multiple types of stego images using deep learning. Through various experiments, we confirm the effectiveness of our approach and envision directions for future research. In particular, we show that our method can detect each type of steganography with the same level of accuracy as that of a steganalysis method dedicated to that type of steganography, thereby demonstrating the general applicability of our approach to multiple types of stego images.

In this paper, we suggest an advanced algorithm, to recognize pedestrian/non-pedestrian using second-stage cascade method, which applies Adaboost algorithm to make a strong classification from weak classifications. First, we extract two feature vectors: (i) Histogram of Oriented Gradient (HOG) which includes gradient information and differential magnitude; (ii) Curvature-HOG which is based on four different curvature features per pixel. And then, a strong classification needs to be obtained from weak classifications for composite recognition method using both HOG and curvature-HOG. In the proposed method, we use one feature vector and one strong classification for the first stage of recognition. For the recognition-failed image, the other feature and strong classification will be used for the second stage of recognition. Based on our experiment, the proposed algorithm shows higher recognition rate compared to the traditional method.

Recently, disaster accidents have occurred frequently over the world, and disaster have been continuously studied using remote sensing due to large scale and hard-to-reach features. The collapse of Laos Xe pian-Xe namnoy dam in 2018 also caused a lot of human and economic damage. This study's purpose is to change detect water system due to the collapse of Xe pian-Xe namnoy dam in Laos and to derive areas where future flooding is expected. The water system is extracted from each image of KOMPSAT-5 before and after the dam collapse in order to quantitatively change detect in the water system. The result of the water system area increased more than 10 times after the dam collapse. In addition, it is confirmed that the newly created water system is thickly created in areas of low altitude area. This study result can be used in the future to systematize the pre-response to abnormalities and issues in existing operating dams. And then, if combined with other remote sensing data, more diverse and specific results could be obtained.

Digital maps are made by experts who digitize the data from aerial image and field survey. And the digital maps are updated every 2 years in National Geographic Information Institute. Conventional Digitizing methods take a lot of time and cost. And geographic information needs to be modified and updated appropriately as geographical features are changing rapidly. Therefore in this paper, we modify the digital map updates the road information for rapid high-resolution aerial orthophoto taken at different times were performed HSI color conversion. Road area of the cassification was performed the region growing methods. In addition, changes in the target area for analysis by applying the CVA technique to compare the changed road area by analyzing the accuracy of the proposed extraction.

The weak classifier of AdaBoost algorithm is a central classification element that uses a single criterion separating positive and negative learning candidates. Finding the best criterion to separate two feature distributions influences learning capacity of the algorithm. A common way to classify the distributions is to use the mean value of the features. However, positive and negative distributions of Haar-like feature as an image descriptor are hard to classify by a single threshold. The poor classification ability of the single threshold also increases the number of boosting operations, and finally results in a poor classifier. This paper proposes a weak classifier that uses multiple criterions by adding a probabilistic criterion of the positive candidate distribution with the conventional mean classifier: the positive distribution has low variation and the values are closer to the mean while the negative distribution has large variation and values are widely spread. The difference in the variance for the positive and negative distributions is used as an additional criterion. In the learning procedure, we use a new classifier that provides a better classifier between them by selective switching between the mean and standard deviation. We call this new type of combined classifier the "Mixed Weak Classifier". The proposed weak classifier is more robust than the mean classifier alone and decreases the number of boosting operations to be converged.

Land cover types of Hustai National Park (HNP) in Mongolia, a hotspot area with rare species, were classified and their temporal changes were evaluated using Landsat MSS TM/ETM data between 1994 and 2000. Maximum likelihood classification analysis showed an overall accuracy of 88.0% and 85.0% for the 1994 and 2000 images, respectively. Kappa coefficients associated with the classification were resulted to 0.85 for 1994 and 0.82 for 2000 image. Land cover types revealed significant temporal changes in the classification maps between 1994 and 2000. The area has increased considerably by $166.5km^2$ for mountain steppe. By contrast, agricultural areas and degraded areas affected by human being activity were decreased by $46.1km^2$ and $194.8km^2$ over the six year span, respectively. These areas were replaced by mountain steppe area. Specifically, forest area was noticeably fragmented, accompanied by the decrease of $\sim400$ ha. The forest area revealed a pattern with systematic gain and loss associated with the specific phenomenon called as forest free-south slope. We discussed the potential environmental conditions responsible for the systematic pattern and addressed other biological impacts by outbreaks of forest pests and ungulates.

In this paper, we propose an object tracking system which can be convinced of moving area shaped on objects through color sequential images, decided moving directions of foot messengers or vehicles of image sequences. In static camera, we suggests a new evaluating method extracting co-occurrence matrix with feature vectors of RGB after analyzing and blocking difference images, which is accessed to field of camera view for motion. They are energy, entropy, contrast, maximum probability, inverse difference moment, and correlation of RGB color vectors. we describe how to analyze and compute corresponding relations of objects between adjacent frames. In the clustering, we apply an algorithm of FCM(fuzzy c means) to analyze matching and clustering problems of adjacent frames of the featured vectors, energy and entropy, gotten from previous phase. In the matching phase, we also propose a method to know correspondence relation that can track motion each objects by clustering with similar area, compute object centers and cluster around them in case of same objects based on membership function of motion area of adjacent frames.
