In this paper, a fire detection algorithm based on video processing is proposed. At the first stage, background image extracted from CCTV video input signal, and then foreground image were separated by differencing CCTV input signal from background image. At the second stage, candidated area were extracted by using color information from foreground image. At the final stage, smoke or flame characteristic area were separated by using Gaussian mixture modeling applied to candidated area, and then fire can be detected. Through real experiments at the inner room, it is shown that the proposed system works well.

Generally, wavelet coefficients can be classified into two categories: large coefficients with much signal information and small coefficients with little signal component. This statistical characteristic of wavelet coefficient is approximated to Gaussian mixture model and efficiently applied to noise reduction. In this paper, we propose an image denoising method using mixture modeling of wavelet coefficients. Binary mask value is generated by proper threshold which classifies wavelet coefficients into two categories. Information of binary mask value is used to remove image noise. We also develope an enhancement method of mask value using morphological filter, and apply it to image denoising for improvement of the proposed method. Simulation results shows the proposed method have better PSNRs than those of the state of art denoising methods.

Synchronous multi-pressure measurements were carried out with relatively long time duration for a double-layer reticulated shell roof model in the atmospheric boundary layer wind tunnel. Since the long roof is open at two ends for the storage of coal piles, three different testing cases were considered as the empty roof without coal piles (Case A), half coal piles inside (Case B) and full coal piles inside (Case C). Based on the wind tunnel test results, non-Gaussian time-dependent statistics of net wind pressure on the shell roof were quantified in terms of skewness and kurtosis. It was found that the direct statistical estimation of high-order moments and peak factors is quite sensitive to the duration of wind pressure time-history data. The maximum value of COVs (Coefficients of variations) of high-order moments is up to 1.05 for several measured pressure processes. The Mixture distribution models are proposed for better modeling the distribution of a parent pressure process. With the aid of mixture parent distribution models, the existing translated-peak-process (TPP) method has been revised and improved in the estimation of non-Gaussian peak factors. Finally, non-Gaussian peak factors of wind pressure, particularly for those observed hardening pressure process, were calculated by employing various state-of-the-art methods and compared to the direct statistical analysis of the measured long-duration wind pressure data. The estimated non-Gaussian peak factors for a hardening pressure process at the leading edge of the roof were varying from 3.6229, 3.3693 to 3.3416 corresponding to three different cases of A, B and C.

In this study, we analyze the dependence structure of KOSPI and NYSE indices based on a two-step estimation procedure. In the rst step, we adopt ARMA-GARCH models with Gaussian mixture innovations for marginal processes. In the second step, time-varying copula parameters are estimated. By using these, we measure the dependence between the two returns with Kendall's tau and Spearman's rho. The two dependence measures for various copulas are illustrated.

This paper describes the use of pitch information for speaker identification. The recognition system is a GMM based one with 4 connected Korean digits speech database. The mean of the pitch period in voiced sections of speech are shown to be ,useful at discriminating between speakers. Utilizing this feature with Gaussian mixture model in the speaker identification system gave a marked improvement, maximum 6% improvement comparing to the baseline Gaussian mixture model.

움직이는 객체를 검출하기 위해서 정확한 배경을 사용하기 위해 널리 사용되는 방법으로는 가우시안 혼합 모델이다. 가우시안 혼합 모텔은 확률적 학습 방법을 사용하는데, 이 방법은 움직이는 배경일 경우와 이동하던 물체가 정지하는 경우 배경을 정확히 모델링하지 못한다. 본 논문에서는 확률적 모델링을 통해 혼잡한 배경을 모델링하고 객체의 계층적 처리를 통해 보다 정확한 배경으로 갱신할 수 있는 학습 방법을 제안한다.

본 논문에서는 Gaussian Mixture Model을 이용한 Gustafson-Kessel 알고리즘의 성능을 개선하였다. 분포 및 밀도가 다른 데이터에 대하여 적절한 클러스터 파라미터를 추정함으로써 클러스터링의 성능을 개선한다. 일반적인 클러스터링 알고리즘의 경우, 데이터가 편중되거나 각 데이터의 밀도가 서로 틀린 경우 클러스터의 파라미터가 정확하게 클러스터를 표현하지 못하는 문제점을 가지고 있다. 제안된 방법에서는 Gustafson-Kessel 알고리즘을 이용하여 클러스터 파라미터를 추정하며 알고리즘내의 파라미터 일부를 Gaussian Mixture Model을 이용하여 동적으로 갱신하였다 시뮬레이션을 통하여 제안된 방법의 유용성을 보인다.

In this paper, we present a new segmentation algorithm for color images based on mathematical morphology and a Gaussian mixture model(GMM). We use the morphological operations to determine the number of components in a mixture model and to detect their modes of each mixture component. Next, we have adopted the GMM to represent the probability distribution of color feature vectors and used the deterministic annealing expectation maximization (DAEM) algorithm to estimate the parameters of the GMM that represents the multi-colored objects statistically. Finally, we segment the color image by using posterior probability of each pixel computed from the GMM. The experimental results show that the morphological operation is efficient to determine a number of components and initial modes of each component in the mixture model. And also it shows that the proposed DAEM provides a global optimal solution for the parameter estimation in the mixture model and the natural color images are segmented efficiently by using the GMM with parameters estimated by morphological operations and the DAEM algorithm.

In this paper, we propose a probabilistic framework for model-based clustering of direction of arrival (DOA) data to obtain stable sound source localization (SSL) estimates. Model-based clustering has been shown capable of handling highly overlapped and noisy datasets, such as those involved in DOA detection. Although the Gaussian mixture model is commonly used for model-based clustering, we propose use of the von Mises mixture model as more befitting circular DOA data than a Gaussian distribution. The EM framework for the von Mises mixture model in a unit hyper sphere is degenerated for the 2D case and used as such in the proposed method. We also use a histogram of the dataset to initialize the number of clusters and the initial values of parameters, thereby saving calculation time and improving the efficiency. Experiments using simulated and real-world datasets demonstrate the performance of the proposed method.

In Bayesian multi-target tracking, the Poisson multi-Bernoulli mixture (PMBM) filter is a state-of-the-art filter based on the methodology of random finite set which is a conjugate prior composed of Poisson point process (PPP) and multi-Bernoulli mixture (MBM). In order to improve the random finite set-based filter utilized in multi-target tracking of sensor scanning, this paper introduces the Poisson multi-Bernoulli mixture filter into time-matching Bayesian filtering framework and derive a tractable and principled method, namely: the time-matching Poisson multi-Bernoulli mixture (TM-PMBM) filter. We also provide the Gaussian mixture implementation of the TM-PMBM filter for linear-Gaussian dynamic and measurement models. Subsequently, we compare the performance of the TM-PMBM filter with other RFS filters based on time-matching method with different birth models under directional continuous scanning and out-of-order discontinuous scanning. The results of simulation demonstrate that the proposed filter not only can effectively reduce the influence of sampling time diversity, but also improve the estimated accuracy of target state along with cardinality.
