  • We present a robust speaker identification algorithm that uses novel features based on soft bag-of-word representation and a simple Naive Bayes classifier. The bag-of-words (BoW) based histogram feature descriptor is typically constructed by summarizing and identifying representative prototypes from low-level spectral features extracted from training data. In this paper, we define a generalization of the standard BoW. In particular, we define three types of BoW that are based on crisp voting, fuzzy memberships, and possibilistic memberships. We analyze our mapping with three common classifiers: Naive Bayes classifier (NB); K-nearest neighbor classifier (KNN); and support vector machines (SVM). The proposed algorithms are evaluated using large datasets that simulate medical crises. We show that the proposed soft bag-of-words feature representation approach achieves a significant improvement when compared to the state-of-art methods.

  • This paper describes the algorithm that lowers the dimension, maintains the gesture recognition and significantly reduces the eigenspace configuration time by combining the higher correlation feature information and Principle Component Analysis. Since the suggested method doesn't require a lot of computation than the method using existing geometric information or stereo image, the fact that it is very suitable for building the real-time system has been proved through the experiment. In addition, since the existing point to point method which is a simple distance calculation has many errors, in this paper to improve recognition rate the recognition error could be reduced by using several successive input images as a unit of recognition with K-Nearest Neighbor which is the improved Class to Class method.

  • This paper presents a personal identification method using teeth images. The method uses images for teeth expressions of anterior and posterior occlusion state and LDA-based technique. Teeth images give merits for recognition because teeth, rigid objects, cannot be deformed at the moment of image acquisition. In the experiments, personal identification for 12 people was successful. It was shown that our method can contribute to multi-modal authentication systems.

  • 외판원 문제(Traveling Salesman Problem)는 주어진 n개의 도시들과 그 도시들간의 거리 비용이 주어졌을 매, 처음 출발도시에서부터 정확히 한 도시는 한 번씩만 방문하여 다시 출발도시로 돌아오면서 방문한 도시들을 연결하는 최소의 비용이 드는 경로를 찾는 문제로 최적해(optimal value)를 구하는 것은 전형적인 NP-완전 문제중의 하나이다[2,4,5, 8]. 따라서 이들의 수행시간을 줄이고자 하는 연구가 많이 진행된다. 본 논문에서는 외판원 문제의 최적의 해를 구하는데. 휴리스틱 알고리즘인 최근접 휴리스틱을 이용한다. 물론 수행 시간을 줄이고자 최적화 문제에서 좋은 성능을 보이는 유전 알고리즘 (Genetic Algorithm)으로 얻은 근사해(near optimal)를 초기 분기 함수로 사용하고, 근거리 통신망(Local Area Network)에 기반한 분산 처리 환경에서 여러 프로세서에 분산시켜 병렬성을 살린다.

  • The stamp is one of the crucial information of traditional historical and cultural for nations. In this paper, we purpose to detect official stamps from scanned document and recognize the Mongolian traditional, historical stamps. Therefore we performed following steps: first, we detect official stamps from scanned document based on red-color segmentation and document standard. Then we collected 234 traditional stamp images with 6 classes and 100 official stamp images from scanned document images. Also we implemented the processing algorithms for noise removing, resize and reshape etc. Finally, we proposed a new scale invariant classification algorithm based on KNN (k-nearest neighbor). In the experimental result, our proposed a method had shown proper recognition rate.

  • Human emotions are expressed in various ways. It can be expressed through language, facial expression and gestures. In particular, the facial expression contains many information about human emotion. These vague human emotion appear not in single emotion, but in combination of various emotion. This paper proposes a emotional expression algorithm using Active Appearance Model(AAM) and Fuzz k- Nearest Neighbor which give facial expression in similar with vague human emotion. Applying Mahalanobis distance on the center class, determine inclusion level between center class and each class. Also following inclusion level, appear intensity of emotion. Our emotion recognition system can recognize a complex emotion using Fuzzy k-NN classifier.

  • Locating text data in images automatically has been a challenging task. In this approach, we build a three stage system for text detection purpose. This system utilizes tensor voting and Completed Local Binary Pattern (CLBP) to classify text and non-text regions. While tensor voting generates the text line information, which is very useful for localizing candidate text regions, the Nearest Neighbor classifier trained on discriminative features obtained by the CLBP-based operator is used to refine the results. The whole algorithm is implemented in MATLAB and applied to all images of ICDAR 2011 Robust Reading Competition data set. Experiments show the promising performance of this method.

  • Recently, with the sensor technology, research about the electronic nose system which imitated the olfactory organ are being pushed actively. But, in case of general electronic nose system, an aroma is measured at the laboratory space where blocked external environment and is analyzed a part of measured data. In this paper, we propose the system which can measure and recognize an aroma in natural environment. We propose the Entropy algorithm which can detect the sensor reaction section among the continuous detection processing about an aroma. And we implement the aroma recognition system using the PCA(Principal Components Analysis) and K-NN(K-Nearest Neighbor) about the detected aroma. In order to evaluate the performance, we measured the aroma pattern, about 9 aroma oil, 50 times respectively. And we experimented the aroma detection and recognition using this. There was an error of 0.2s in the aroma detection and we get 84.3% recognition rate of the aroma recognition.

  • 본 연구에서는 낙동강 임하댐 유역을 대상으로 엔트로피 이론(혼합분포 적용)과 관측소의 공간적 분포를 동시에 고려하여 강우관측망을 평가하였다. 일반적으로 혼합분포를 이용하는 강우관측망 평가는 연속분포를 이용하는 경우 비해 강우의 시공간적 간헐성을 고려할 수 있다는 장점이 있다. 아울러 유역의 면적평균강우량을 산정시 강우관측소는 균등하게 설치된 경우가 가장 이상적이며, 이를 최근린 지수(Nearest neighbor index)를 이용하여 강우관측소 간에 공간적 분포를 등급화하였다. 최근린 지수는 임의의 점에 가장 가까운 인접 점들 간의 거리 특성을 이용하는 방법으로 점의 분포를 보다 지리적으로 파악할 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 엔트로피의 최대 정보전달량 및 강우관측소의 등급을 동시에 고려하기 위해 유클리디언 거리를 이용하여 2개의 목적함수를 통합하였으며, 이를 MOGA(Multi Objective Genetic Algorithm)를 이용하여 최적관측망을 선정하였다. 그 결과 MOGA를 이용하여 관측망을 평가한 경우 엔트로피 이론만을 적용했을 때보다 최적관측소가 보다 분산됨을 확인하였다.
