There are many ways to perform face recognition. The first step of face recognition is the face detection step. If the face is not found in the first step, the face recognition fails. Face detection research has many difficulties because it can be varied according to face size change, left and right rotation and up and down rotation, side face and front face, facial expression, and light condition. In this study, facial features are extracted and the extracted features are geometrically reconstructed in order to improve face recognition rate in extracted face region. Also, it is aimed to adjust face angle using reconstructed facial feature vector, and to improve recognition rate for each face angle. In the recognition attempt using the result after the geometric reconstruction, both the up and down and the left and right facial angles have improved recognition performance.

The purpose of condition monitoring and fault diagnosis is to detect faults occurring in machinery in order to improve the level of safety in plants and reduce operational and maintenance costs. The recognition performance is important not only to gain a high recognition rate bur a1so to minimize the diagnosis failures error rate by using off effective rejection module. We examined the problem of performance evaluation for the rejection scheme considering the accuracy of individual c1asses in order to increase the recognition performance. We use the Smith's method among the previous studies related to rejection method. Nearest neighbor classifier is used for classifying the machine conditions from the vibration signals. The experiment results for the performance evaluation of rejection show the modified optimum rejection method is superior to others.

In order to process a vast amount of data, there is demand for a new system with higher processing speed and lower energy consumption. To prevent 'memory wall' in von Neumann architecture, RRAM, which is a neuromorphic device, has been researched. In this paper, we summarize the features of RRAM and propose the device structure for characteristic improvement. RRAM operates as a synapse device using a change of resistance. In general, the resistance characteristics of RRAM are nonlinear and random. As synapse device, linearity and uniformity improvement of RRAM is important to improve learning recognition rate because high linearity and uniformity characteristics can achieve high recognition rate. There are many method, such as TEL, barrier layer, NC, high oxidation properties, to improve linearity and uniformity. We proposed a new device structure of TiN/Al doped TaO_x/AlO_x/Pt that will achieve high recognition rate. Also, with simulation, we prove that the improved properties show a high learning recognition rate.

As smart devices get popular, research on gesture recognition using their embedded-accelerometer draw attention. As Dynamic Time Warping(DTW), recently, has been used to perform gesture recognition on data sequence from accelerometer, in this paper we propose Feature-Strengthened Gesture Recognition(FsGr) Model which can improve the recognition success rate when DTW is used. FsGr model defines feature-strengthened parts of data sequences to similar gestures which might produce unsuccessful recognition, and performs additional DTW on them to improve the recognition rate. In training phase, FsGr model identifies sets of similar gestures, and analyze features of gestures per each set. During recognition phase, it makes additional recognition attempt based on the result of feature analysis to improve the recognition success rate, when the result of first recognition attempt belongs to a set of similar gestures. We present the performance result of FsGr model, by experimenting the recognition of lower case alphabets.

In this paper, we propose the modified VQ, applied correlation between codewords in order to reduce the error rate due to personal and speakers' temporal variation. Such a modified VQ is used in the stage of preprocessing of HMM and the temporal variation is absorbed by nonlinear Decimation and Interpolation of vowel part that we obtain higher recognition rate than not so case. The objects of experiment are Korea 142 DDD regional names and we show that the proposed method increase the recognition rate.

Broadcast news transcription is one of the hardest tasks in speech recognition because broadcast speech signals have much variability in speech quality, channel and background conditions. We developed a Korean broadcast news speech recognizer. We used a morpheme-based dictionary and a language model to reduce the out-of·vocabulary (OOV) rate. We concatenated the original morpheme pairs of short length or high frequency in order to reduce insertion and deletion errors due to short morphemes. We used a lexicon with multiple pronunciations to reflect inter-morpheme pronunciation variations without severe modification of the search tree. By using the merged morpheme as recognition units, we achieved the OOV rate of 1.7% comparable to European languages with 64k vocabulary. We implemented a hidden Markov model-based recognizer with vocal tract length normalization and online speaker adaptation by maximum likelihood linear regression. Experimental results showed that the recognizer yielded 21.8% morpheme error rate for anchor speech and 31.6% for mostly noisy reporter speech.

In this paper, we describe the implementation of a microphone input level control algorithm and the speech improvement with this level controller in personal computer environment. The volume of speech obtained through a microphone affects the speech recognition rate directly. Therefore, proper input volume level control is desired fur better recognition. We considered some conditions for the successful volume controller implementation firstly, then checked its usefulness on our speech recognition system with common office environment speech database. Cepstral mean subtraction is also utilized far the channel-effect compensation of the database. Our implemented controller achieved approximately 50% reduction, i.e., improvement in speech recognition error rate.

The success of iris recognition depends mainly on two factors: image acquisition and an iris recognition algorithm. In this study, we present a system that considers both factors and focuses on the latter. The proposed algorithm aims to find out the most efficient wavelet family and its coefficients for encoding the iris template of the experiment samples. The algorithm implemented in software performs segmentation, normalization, feature encoding, data storage, and matching. By using the Haar and Biorthogonal wavelet families at various levels feature encoding is performed by decomposing the normalized iris image. The vertical coefficient is encoded into the iris template and is stored in the database. The performance of the system is evaluated by using the number of degrees of freedom, False Reject Rate (FRR), False Accept Rate (FAR), and Equal Error Rate (EER) and the metrics show that the proposed algorithm can be employed for an iris recognition system.

This study proposes a method of recognizing postpositions and suffixes in Korean spoken language, using prosodic information. We detect grammatical boundaries automatically at first, by using prosodic information of the accentual phrase, and then we recognize grammatical function words by backward-tracking from the boundaries. The experiment employs 300 sentential speech data of 10 men's and 5 women's voice spoken in standard Korean, in which 1080 accentual phrases and 11 postpositions and suffixes are included. The result shows the recognition rate of postpositions in two cases. In one case in which only correctly detected boundaries are included, the recognition rate is 97.5%, and in the other case in which all detected boundaries are included, the recognition rate is 74.8%.

Image calibration at preprocessing step is very important for face recognition rate improvement, and background noise deletion affects accuracy of face recognition specially. In this paper, a method is proposed to remove background area utilizing elliptical model at preprocessing step for face recognition rate improvement. As human face has the shape of ellipse, a face contour can be easily detected by using the elliptical model in face images.
