The goal of this research is to improve the quality of reconstructed speech in the Distributed Speech Recognition (DSR) system. For the extended DSR, we estimate the variable Maximum Voiced Frequency (MVF) from Mel-Frequency Cepstral Coefficient (MFCC) based on Gaussian Mixture Model (GMM), to implement realistic harmonic plus noise model for the excitation signal. For the standard DSR, we also make the voiced/unvoiced decision from MFCC based on GMM because the pitch information is not available in that case. The perceptual test reveals that speech reconstructed by the proposed method is preferred to the one by the conventional methods.

This paper proposes an efficient global covariance-based principal component analysis (GCPCA) for speaker identification. Principal component analysis (PCA) is a feature extraction method which reduces the dimension of the feature vectors and the correlation among the feature vectors by projecting the original feature space into a small subspace through a transformation. However, it requires a larger amount of training data when performing PCA to find the eigenvalue and eigenvector matrix using the full covariance matrix by each speaker. The proposed method first calculates the global covariance matrix using training data of all speakers. It then finds the eigenvalue matrix and the corresponding eigenvector matrix from the global covariance matrix. Compared to conventional PCA and Gaussian mixture model (GMM) methods, the proposed method shows better performance while requiring less storage space and complexity in speaker identification.

Object segmentation is a challenging task in image processing and computer vision. In this paper, we present a visual attention based segmentation method to segment small sized interesting objects in natural images. Different from the traditional methods, we first search the region of interest by using our novel saliency-based method, which is mainly based on band-pass filtering, to obtain the appropriate frequency. Secondly, we applied the Gaussian Mixture Model (GMM) to locate the object region. By incorporating the visual attention analysis into object segmentation, our proposed approach is able to narrow the search region for object segmentation, so that the accuracy is increased and the computational complexity is reduced. The experimental results indicate that our proposed approach is efficient for object segmentation in natural images, especially for small objects. Our proposed method significantly outperforms traditional GMM based segmentation.

Many mobile robot navigation methods utilize laser scanners, ultrasonic sensors, vision camera, and so on for detecting obstacles and path following. However, human utilizes only vision(e.g. eye) information for navigation. In this paper, we study a mobile robot control method based on only the camera vision. The Gaussian Mixture Model and a shadow removal technology are used to divide the foreground and the background from the camera image. The mobile robot uses a combined CAMSHIFT and KLT feature tracker algorithms based on the information of the foreground to follow a person. The algorithm is verified by experiments where a person is tracked and followed by a robot in a hallway.

Retreiving indoor scene reference image from database using visual information is important issue in Robot Navigation. Scene matching problem in navigation robot is not easy because input image that is taken in navigation process is affinly distorted. We represent probabilistic framework for the feature matching between features in input image and features in database reference images to guarantee robust scene matching efficiency. By reconstructing probabilistic scene matching framework we get a higher precision than the existing feaure-feature matching scheme. To construct probabilistic framework we represent each image as Gaussian Mixture Model using Expectation Maximization algorithm using SIFT(Scale Invariant Feature Transform).

Accurate locating for the mobile target remains a challenge in various applications of wireless sensor networks (WSNs). Unfortunately, most of the typical localization algorithms perform well only in the WSN with densely distributed sensor nodes. The non-localizable problem is prone to happening when a target moves into the WSN with sparsely distributed sensor nodes. To solve this problem, we propose a collaborative and predictive localization algorithm (CPLA). The Gaussian mixture model (GMM) is introduced to predict the posterior trajectory for a mobile target by training its prior trajectory. In addition, the collaborative and predictive schemes are designed to solve the non-localizable problems in the two-anchor nodes locating, one-anchor node locating and non-anchor node locating situations. Simulation results prove that the CPLA exhibits higher localization accuracy than other tested predictive localization algorithms either in the WSN with sparsely distributed sensor nodes or in the WSN with densely distributed sensor nodes.

Due to boundedness and sum constraint, compositional data are often transformed by logratio transformation and their transformed data are put into traditional binary classification or discriminant analysis. However, it may be problematic to directly apply traditional multivariate approaches to the transformed data because class distributions are not Gaussian and Bayes decision boundary are not polynomial on the transformed space. In this study, we propose to use flexible classification approaches to transformed data for compositional data classification. Empirical studies using synthetic and real examples demonstrate that flexible approaches outperform traditional multivariate classification or discriminant analysis.

본 논문에서는 음성과 얼굴 정보를 분석하여 자동차환경에서 운전자를 검증하는 기술을 소개한다. 음성정보를 이용한 화자검증을 위해서는 잘 알려진 Mel-scale Frequency Cepstral Coefficients(MFCCs)를 음성 특징으로 사용하였으며, 동영상을 이용한 얼굴검증에 대해서는 AdaBoost를 이용하여 검출된 얼굴 영역에 대해 주성분 분석을 수행하여 데이터의 크기가 현저히 줄어든 특징벡터를 추출하였다. 기존의 화자검증 방식에 비해 본 논문에서는 추출된 음성 및 얼굴 특징들을 Gaussian Mixture Models(GMM)-Supervector기반의 Support Vector Machine(SVM)커넬 방식에 적용하여 운전자의 음성과 얼굴을 효과적으로 검증하는 방식을 제안하였다. 실험결과 제안한 방법은 단순한 GMM 방식이나 SVM 방식보다 운전자 검증성능을 향상시킴을 알 수 있었다.

Determination of the most meaningful structural modes and gaining insight into how these modes evolve are important issues for long-term structural health monitoring of the long-span bridges. To address this issue, modal parameters identified throughout the life of the bridge need to be compared and linked with each other, which is the process of mode tracking. The modal frequencies for a long-span bridge are typically closely-spaced, sensitive to the environment (e.g., temperature, wind, traffic, etc.), which makes the automated tracking of modal parameters a difficult process, often requiring human intervention. Machine learning methods are well-suited for uncovering complex underlying relationships between processes and thus have the potential to realize accurate and automated modal tracking. In this study, Gaussian mixture model (GMM), a popular unsupervised machine learning method, is employed to automatically determine and update baseline modal properties from the identified unlabeled modal parameters. On this foundation, a new mode tracking method is proposed for automated mode tracking for long-span bridges. Firstly, a numerical example for a three-degree-of-freedom system is employed to validate the feasibility of using GMM to automatically determine the baseline modal properties. Subsequently, the field monitoring data of a long-span bridge are utilized to illustrate the practical usage of GMM for automated determination of the baseline list. Finally, the continuously monitoring bridge acceleration data during strong typhoon events are employed to validate the reliability of proposed method in tracking the changing modal parameters. Results show that the proposed method can automatically track the modal parameters in disastrous scenarios and provide valuable references for condition assessment of the bridge structure.
