The model reduction method of the high order linear time invariant systems is proposed. The continuous fraction expansion of Auxiliary denominator polynomial is used to obtain denominator polynomial of the reduced order model, and the numerator polynomial of the reduced order model is obtained by equating the first some moments of the original and the reduced order model, using simplified moment function. This methiod does not require the calculation of the reciprocal transformation which should be calculated in Routh approximation, furthemore the stability of the reduced order model is guaranted if original system is stable. Responses of this method showed us good characteristics.

In this paper we propose a facial feature extraction method by using a genetic algorithm. The method uses a facial feature template to model the location of eyes and a mouth, and genetic algorithm is employed to find the optimal solution from the fitness function consisting of invariant moments. The simulation results show that the proposed algorithm can effectively extract facial features from face images with variations in position, size, rotation and expression.

In this paper we propose an efficient content-based image retrieval method using the color and wavelet based features. The color features are extracted from color histograms of the global image and the wavelet based features are extracted from the invariant moments of the high-pass band image through the spatial-frequency analysis of the wavelet transform. The proposed algorithm, called color and wavelet features based query(CWBQ), is composed of two-step query operations for efficient image retrieval: the coarse level filtering operation and the fine level matching operation. In the first filtering operation, the color histogram feature is used to filter out the dissimilar images quickly from a large image database. The second matching operation applies the wavelet based feature to the retained set of images to retrieve all relevant images successfully. The experimental results show that the proposed algorithm yields more improved retrieval accuracy with computationally efficiency than the previous methods.

자동으로 분할된 영상에서 각각의 영역들은 동질의 특징을 가지는 성분들로 구성되어 있다. 그러나 대부분의 경우 하나의 영역만으로는 특정한 혹은 의미 있는 오브젝트를 정확히 표현 할 수 없다. 이 중에서 하나 이상의 영역 즉 비슷한 특징을 갖는 몇몇 영역들의 집합이 사용자에게 있어서 의미 있는 오브젝트를 구성한다고 볼 수 있다 이를 전제로 본 논문에서는 분할된 영상 내에 존재하는 기저 영역들의 모멘트 추출을 기반으로 하는 객체 매칭 기법을 제안한다. 제안된 매칭 방법에서는 자동 영상 분할된 각 영역들로부터 모멘트를 추출하고 이 정보를 이용하여 조합된 영역에 대한 모멘트를 계산하게 되고, 다시 이들 조합된 영역의 모멘트를 이용하여 그 영역의 쉐입(shape) 특징 벡터를 추출한다. 이를 통하여 사용자가 찾고자 하는 영역과 분할영상내의 모든 영역의 조합에 대해서 초기에 추출된 정보만을 이용하여 매칭할 수 있도록 하였다.

In this paper. a robust gesture recognition system is designed and implemented to explore the communication methods between human and computer. Hand gestures in the proposed approach are used to communicate with a computer for actions of a high degree of freedom. The user does not need to wear any cumbersome devices like cyber-gloves. No assumption is made on whether the user is wearing any ornaments and whether the user is using the left or right hand gestures. Image segmentation based upon the skin-color and a shape analysis based upon the invariant moments are combined. The features are extracted and used for input vectors to a radial basis function networks(RBFN). Our "Puppy" robot is employed as a testbed. Preliminary results on a set of gestures show recognition rates of about 87% on the a real-time implementation.

In this paper, we describe a new trademark retrieval system based upon the content or the shape of trademark. The system has an on-line graphical user interface for the World Wide Web (WWW) that allows user to provide a query in forms of a sketch or a visual image to search for similar trademarks from database. User interfaces for the WWW were implemented by utilizing HTML and Java applets. The query can occur in arbitrary size and orientation. A shape representation scheme invariant to scale and rotation was developed to measure the similarity between two trademarks using the magnitude of Zernike moments as a feature set. Performance evaluation has been carried out with a database of 3,000 trademarks. It takes only about 0.6 second for the retrieval on a 200 MHz Pentium PC. The average recall of the original one among top 30 candidates queried by noisy or deformed images was 100%.

최근 인터넷과 멀티미디어 기술이 발달함에 따라 이미지 데이터의 양이 급속히 증가하고 있다. 증가하는 이미지를 효과적으로 관리하고 검색하기 위해 내용기반 이미지 검색에 대한 연구가 활발히 진행되고 있다. 대부분의 내용 기반 이미지 검색 시스템은 색상, 모양, 질감 특징을 이용한 유사도-기반검색에 초점을 맞추고 있다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 이미지에 나타나는 주요 색상과 색상의 공간적 특성을 포함하는 픽셀샘플링, 그리고 이미지의 외형적 변경에 강인함을 갖는 불변 모멘트 값을 이용한 내용기반 이미지 검색 시스템을 제안한다. 첫 번째 유사성 검사 단계에서는 이미지의 영역별로 가중치를 부여하여 추출한 대표색상을 사용하여, 유사하지 않은 이미지를 제거하여 검색대상의 수를 줄이며, 두 번째 유사성 검사 단계에서는 첫 번째 단계에서 선별된 후보 이미지에 색상의 공간적 정보를 포함한 픽셀샘플링을 이용하여 색상의 공간적인 위치까지 유사한 이미지만을 선별한다. 두 번째 유사성 검사단계에서 이미지가 외형적으로 변형된 유사이미지의 검출이 어려운 점을 보완하는 방법으로 이미지의 불변 모멘트를 이용하여 검색의 정확성을 높인다. 제안한 이미지 검색 방법은 10000개의 다양한 이미지로 구성된 데이터베이스에서 검색을 효율성을 실험하였다.

This paper investigates the longitudinal flight dynamics and stability of flapping-wing micro air vehicles. Periodic external forces and moments due to the flapping motion characterize the dynamics of this system as NLTP (Non Linear Time Periodic). However, the averaging theorem can be applied to an NLTP system to obtain an NLTI (Non Linear Time Invariant) system which allows us to use a standard eigen value analysis to assess the stability of the system with linearization around a reference point. In this paper, we investigate the dynamics and stability of a hawkmoth-scale flapping-wing air vehicle by establishing an LTI (Linear Time Invariant) system model around a hovering condition. Also, a direct time integration of full nonlinear equations of motion of the flapping-wing micro air vehicle is conducted to see how the longitudinal flight dynamics appear in the time domain beyond the reference point, i.e. hovering condition. In the study, the flapping-wing air vehicle exhibited three distinct dynamic modes of motion in the longitudinal plane of motion: two stable subsidence modes and one unstable oscillatory mode. The unstable oscillatory mode is found to be a combination of a pitching velocity state and a forward/backward velocity state.

In this paper, we propose a new composite feature consists of both color and shape information that are suitable for the task of character image retrieval. This approach extracts shape-based information using Zernike moments from Y image in YCbCr color space. Zernike moments can extract shape-based features that are invariant to rotation, translation, and scaling. We also extract color-based information from the DCT coefficients of Cr and Cb image. This approach is good method reflecting human visual property and is suitable for web application such as large image database system and animation because higher retrieval rate has been achieved using only 36 features. In experiment, this method is applied to 3,834 character images. We confirmed that this approach brought about excellent effect by ANMRR(Average of Normalized, Modified Retrieval Rank), which is used in the evaluation measure of MPEG-7 color descriptor and BEP(Bull's Eye Performance), which is used in evaluation measure of shape descriptor in character image retrieval.

In this paper we propose a new feature vector for recognition of the facial expression based on Gibbs distributions which are well suited for representing the spatial continuity. The extracted feature vectors are invariant under translation rotation, and scale of an facial expression imege. The Algorithm for recognition of a facial expression contains two parts： the extraction of feature vector and the recognition process. The extraction of feature vector are comprised of modified 2-D conditional moments based on estimated Gibbs distribution for an facial image. In the facial expression recognition phase, we use discrete left-right HMM which is widely used in pattern recognition. In order to evaluate the performance of the proposed scheme, experiments for recognition of four universal expression (anger, fear, happiness, surprise) was conducted with facial image sequences on Workstation. Experiment results reveal that the proposed scheme has high recognition rate over 95%.
