Appearance-based subspace models such as eigenfaces have been widely recognized as one of the most successful approaches to face recognition and tracking. The success of eigenfaces mainly has its origins in the benefits offered by principal component analysis (PCA), the representational power of the underlying generative process for high-dimensional noisy facial image data. The sparse extension of PCA (SPCA) has recently received significant attention in the research community. SPCA functions by imposing sparseness constraints on the eigenvectors, a technique that has been shown to yield more robust solutions in many applications. However, when SPCA is applied to facial images, the time and space complexity of PCA learning becomes a critical issue (e.g., real-time tracking). In this paper, we propose a very fast and scalable greedy forward selection algorithm for SPCA. Unlike a recent semidefinite program-relaxation method that suffers from complex optimization, our approach can process several thousands of data dimensions in reasonable time with little accuracy loss. The effectiveness of our proposed method was demonstrated on real-world face recognition and tracking datasets.

In this paper we propose the method of generating the maximum length sequence based on Self Programmable Cellular Automata. Recently there is a research trend such that increased CA dimensionality and PCA which applies different rules on the same cell at different time steps can make a sequence with a long period. By changing a cell's state transition rules to give the cell dynamic energy at each time step, we can make the period of a sequence longer and the randomness of a sequence higher.

Principal component analysis (PCA) was used to improve image classification by the unsupervised classification techniques, the K-means. To do this, I selected a Landsat TM scene of Jeju Island, Korea and proposed two methods for PCA： unstandardized PCA (UPCA) and standardized PCA (SPCA). The estimated accuracy of the image classification of Jeju area was computed by error matrix. The error matrix was derived from three unsupervised classification methods. Error matrices indicated that classifications done on the first three principal components for UPCA and SPCA of the scene were more accurate than those done on the seven bands of TM data and that also the results of UPCA and SPCA were better than those of the raw Landsat TM data. The classification of TM data by the K-means algorithm was particularly poor at distinguishing different land covers on the island. From the classification results, we also found that the principal component based classifications had characteristics independent of the unsupervised techniques (numerical algorithms) while the TM data based classifications were very dependent upon the techniques. This means that PCA data has uniform characteristics for image classification that are less affected by choice of classification scheme. In the results, we also found that UPCA results are better than SPCA since UPCA has wider range of digital number of an image.

Principal component analysis (PCA) describes the variation of multivariate data in terms of a set of uncorrelated variables. Since each principal component is a linear combination of all variables and the loadings are typically non-zero, it is difficult to interpret the derived principal components. Sparse principal component analysis (SPCA) is a specialized technique using the elastic net penalty function to produce sparse loadings in principal component analysis. When data are structured by groups of variables, it is desirable to select variables in a grouped manner. In this paper, we propose a new PCA method to improve variable selection performance when variables are grouped, which not only selects important groups but also removes unimportant variables within identified groups. To incorporate group information into model fitting, we consider a hierarchical lasso penalty instead of the elastic net penalty in SPCA. Real data analyses demonstrate the performance and usefulness of the proposed method.

When analyzing high dimensional data such as text data, if we input all the variables as explanatory variables, statistical learning procedures may suffer from over-fitting problems. Furthermore, computational efficiency can deteriorate with a large number of variables. Dimensionality reduction techniques such as feature selection or feature extraction are useful for dealing with these problems. The sparse principal component analysis (SPCA) is one of the regularized least squares methods which employs an elastic net-type objective function. The SPCA can be used to remove insignificant principal components and identify important variables from noisy observations. In this study, we propose a dimension reduction procedure for text data based on the SPCA. Applying the proposed procedure to real data, we find that the reduced feature set maintains sufficient information in text data while the size of the feature set is reduced by removing redundant variables. As a result, the proposed procedure can improve classification accuracy and computational efficiency, especially for some classifiers such as the k-nearest neighbors algorithm.

Bioassay-guided fractionation of $CHCl_{3}$ extract from the fermentation broth of a sponge Mycale plumose-derived actinomycete Saccharopolyspora sp. nov., led to the isolation of two known prodigiosin analogs - metacycloprodigiosin (1) and undecylprodigiosin (2). These compounds exhibited significant cytotoxic activities against five cancer cell lines: P388, HL60, A-549, BEL­7402, and SPCA4. This is the first report on the significant cytotoxicity of metacycloprodigiosin (1) against human cancer cell lines.

This paper studies secure wireless transmission from a multi-antenna transmitter to a single-antenna intended receiver overheard by multiple eavesdroppers with considering the imperfect channel state information (CSI) of wiretap channel. To enhance security of communication link, the artificial noise (AN) is generated at transmitter. We first design the robust joint optimal beamforming of secret signal and AN to minimize transmit power with constraints of security quality of service (QoS), i.e., minimum allowable signal-to-interference-and-noise ratio (SINR) at receiver and maximum tolerable SINR at eavesdroppers. The formulated design problem is shown to be nonconvex and we transfer it into linear matrix inequalities (LMIs). The semidefinite relaxation (SDR) technique is used and the approximated method is proved to solve the original problem exactly. To verify the robustness and tightness of proposed beamforming, we also provide a method to calculate the worst-case SINR at eavesdroppers for a designed transmit scheme using semidefinite programming (SDP). Additionally, the secrecy rate maximization is explored for fixed total transmit power. To tackle the nonconvexity of original formulation, we develop an iterative approach employing sequential parametric convex approximation (SPCA). The simulation results illustrate that the proposed robust transmit schemes can effectively improve the transmit performance.

본 연구는 무감독영상해석(Unsupervised Classification)에서 주성분 분석법(Principal Component Analysis)의 응용성을 연구하기 위하여, 주성분 분석법을 K-means, ISODATA 두가지 무감독분류법에 적용하였다. 적용대상지역은 제주도이다. 본 연구에서 주성분 분석 방법중에서 비정규형 주성분 분석방법 (Unstandardized PCA)과 정규형 주성분 분석방법(Standardized PCA) 두가지 경우로 나누어서 각각 연구하였다. 이를 위하여 제주도의 Landsat TM영상과 국토연구원에서 조사한 제주도 식생분류 조사자료와 현장조사 자료 그리고 1/25,000 수치지도를 이용하였다. 그리고 분석된 자료의 정확도를 평가하기 위하여 오차행렬(Error Matrix)을 도입하여 계산하였다. 우선 비정규형 주성분 분석법으로 구한 주성분 영상과 Landsat TM 원래 영상을 오차행렬을 이용하여 제주도의 식생 분류에 각각 적용하였다. 그 결과, K-means 무감독분류법에서는 Landsat TM 자료를 직접 이용한 경우에는 바다와 육상의 분류가 잘 되지 않았으며, 또한 전반적인 영상분류결과가 관측치와 많은 차이를 보였다. 그러나, 주성분 분석법으로 계산된 주성분 영상으로 K-means방법으로 분류 한 결과는 관측치와 잘 일치를 하였다. ISODATA의 경우, Landsat TM 원래영상을 계산하면, K-means으로 분류한 결과보다는 좋은 값을 나타냈으나, 주성분 분석법으로 구한 영상의 계산결과와 비교하면, 주성분 영상으로 구한 분류결과의 정확도가 약 15%정도 높게 나타났다. 정규형 주성분 분석법의 경우를 보면 K-means에서는 Landsat TM원래 자료보다 우수한 결과를 보여주었으나, 비정규형 주성분 분석법으로 계산된 결과보다는 정확도가 다소 떨어지는 단점이 있었고, ISODATA의 경우도 Landsat TM원래 자료보다 약 7%정도의 높은 정확도를 보였으나, 비정규형 영상보다는 약8%정도 낮은 정확도를 보였다. 본 연구에서 주성분 분석법으로 계산된 결과에서 주목되는 것은, 주성분 분석법으로 구한 주성분 영상은 분류방법(K-means, ISODATA, artificial neural networks)에 따라 분류된 결과값이 비슷하게 나타난 반면, Landsat TM원래 자료는 분류방법에 따라 결과값이 많은 차이를 보여 주었다. 그리고 주성분 분석 방법 중에서도 비정규형 주성분 분석법(Unstandardized PCA)이 정규형 주성분 분석법(Standardized PCA)보다 영상분석에서 더 좋은 결과를 보여주는 것으로 나타났다.

BACKGROUND: The scab, which is caused by Venturia nashicola, gives serious damages to pear trees. 'Niitaka' accounts for 82% of areas in pear cultivation. However 'Niitaka' is a scab susceptible cultivar. So, most of Korean farmers who growing pear trees have suffered by economic losses with the scab. In this research, we evaluated the scab resistance among elite pear seedlings to clarify genetics about the scab resistance. And we analyzed photosynthetic features with these seedlings to develop suitable cultivar which is advantageous for producing quality fruits during the growth and development of plants. METHODS AND RESULTS: We measured the rates of scab incidence among seedlings in a field experiment condition and an in-vitro test. An in-vitro test has been done with field experiment-based results. We made plant materials by grafting branches of each seedlings with 'Kongbae' rootstocks. And they had been grown for one month. Then, scab conidia suspension is sprayed to seedlings and sustained for 40 days under the controlled environment. As the results, 6 seedlings displayed lower incidence rates than other seedlings and 'Niitaka'. We also measured instant photosynthetic rates of each seedlings to determine the correlation between photosynthetic rates and fruit characteristics. However, it seemed that there is no correlation between them. CONCLUSION(S): Among the seedlings, 6 seedlings displayed the higher resistance to scab than other seedlings and 'Niitaka'. This characteristics is considered to be come from the gene expression of European pear. And we found that photosynthetic rate in trees rarely does not influence the fruit characteristics. It is considered to be affected by cultivar's own characteristics.
