In this paper, we propose a complex-valued support vector machine (SVM) classifier which process the complex valued signal measured by pulse doppler radar (PDR) to identify moving targets from the background. SVM is widely applied in the field of pattern recognition, but features which used to classify are almost real valued data. Proposed complex-valued SVM can classify the moving target using real valued data, imaginary valued data, and cross-information data. To design complex-valued SVM, we consider slack variables of real and complex axis, and use the KKT (Karush-Kuhn-Tucker) conditions for complex data. Also we apply radial basis function (RBF) as a kernel function which use a distance of complex values. To evaluate the performance of the complex-valued SVM, complex valued data from PDR were classified using real-valued SVM and complex-valued SVM. The proposed complex-valued SVM classification was improved compared to real-valued SVM for dog and human, respectively 8%, 10%, have been improved.

In this paper, we propose a classification algorithm based on the obtained EEG(Electroencephalogram) signal for the control of 'left' and 'right' turnings of which a driving system composed of EEG sensor, Labview, DAQ, Matlab and driving robot. The proposed algorithm uses features extracted from frequency band information obtained by DWT (Discrete Wavelet Transform) and selects features of high discrimination by using Fisher score. We, also propose the number of feature vectors for the best classification performance by using SVM(Support Vector Machine) classifier and propose a decision pending algorithm based on MLD (Maximum Likelihood Decision) to prevent malfunction due to misclassification. The selected four feature vectors for the proposed algorithm are the mean of absolute value of voltage and the standard deviation of d5(2-4Hz) and d2(16-32Hz) frequency bands of P8 channel according to the international standard electrode placement method. By using the SVM classifier, we obtained 98.75% accuracy and 1.25% error rate. Also, when we specify error probability of 70% for decision pending, we obtained 95.63% accuracy and 0% error rate by using the proposed decision pending algorithm.

This paper presents the polygon-based Q-leaning and Cascade Support Vector Machine algorithm for object search with multiple robots. We organized an experimental environment with ten mobile robots, twenty five obstacles, and an object, and then we sent the robots to a hallway, where some obstacles were lying about, to search for a hidden object. In experiment, we used four different control methods: a random search, a fusion model with Distance-based action making (DBAM) and Area-based action making (ABAM) process to determine the next action of the robots, and hexagon-based Q-learning and dodecagon-based Q-learning and Cascade SVM to enhance the fusion model with DBAM and ABAM process.

Voice is one of the promising biometrics because it is one of the most convenient ways human would distinguish someone from others. The target of speaker verification is to divide the client from imposters. Support Vector Machine(SVM) is in the limelight as a binary classifier, so it can work well in speaker verification. In this paper, we combined SVM with genetic algorithm(GA) to reduce the dimensionality of input feature. Experiments were conducted with Korean connected digit database using different feature dimensions. The verification accuracy of SVM with GA is slightly lower than that of SVM, but the proposed algorithm has greater strength in the memory limited systems.

In this paper, we focus on solving the classification problem by using semisupervised learning strategy. Traditional classifiers are constructed based on labeled data in supervised learning. Labeled data, however, are often difficult, expensive or time consuming to obtain, as they require the efforts of experienced human annotators. Unlabeled data are significantly easier to obtain without human efforts. Thus, we use AdaBoost algorithm with SVM-KNN classifier to apply semisupervised learning problem and improve the classifier performance. Experimental results on both artificial and UCI data sets show that the proposed methodology can reduce the error rate.

Recent intelligent video surveillance system asks for development of more advanced technology for analysis and recognition of video data. Especially, machine learning algorithm such as Support Vector Machine (SVM) is used in order to recognize objects in video. Because SVM training demands massive amount of computation, parallel processing technique is necessary to reduce the execution time effectively. In this paper, we propose a parallel processing method of SVM training with a multi-core processor. The results of parallel SVM on a 4-core processor show that our proposed method can reduce the execution time of the sequential training by a factor of 2.5.

In this paper, we propose a fault diagnosis method using artificial neural network and SVM (Support Vector Machine) to detect and isolate faults in the nonlinear systems. The proposed algorithm consists of two main parts: fault detection through threshold testing using a artificial neural network and fault isolation by SVM fault classifier. In the proposed method a fault is detected when the errors between the actual system output and the artificial neural network nominal system output cross a predetermined threshold. Once a fault in the nonlinear system is detected the SVM fault classifier isolates the fault. The computer simulation results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed SVM and artificial neural network based fault diagnosis method.

When oil pressure of damper is lost or relative stiffness of spring drops in vibration system, it can be fatally dangerous situation. A fault diagnosis method for vibration system using Support Vector Machine(SVM)is suggested in the paper. SVM is used to classify input data or applied to function regression. System status can be classified by judging input data based on optimal separable hyperplane obtained using SVM which learns normal and abnormal status. It is learned from the relationship of system state variables in term of spring, mass and damper. Normal and abnormal status are learned using phase plane as in put space, then the learned SVM is used to construct algorithm to predict the system status quantitatively

In this paper, we propose an improved single view metrology (SVM) algorithm to accurately measure the height of objects. In order to accurately measure the size of objects, vanishing points have to be correctly estimated. There are two methods to estimate vanishing points. First, the user has to choose some horizontal and vertical lines in real world. Then, the user finds the cross points of the lines. Second, the user can obtain the vanishing points by using software algorithm such as [6-9]. In the former method, the user has to choose the lines manually to obtain accurate vanishing points. On the other hand, the latter method uses software algorithm to automatically obtain vanishing points. In this paper, we apply image resizing and edge sharpening as a pre-processing to the algorithm in order to improve performance. The estimated vanishing points algorithm create four vanishing point candidates: two points are horizontal candidates and the other two points are vertical candidates. However, a common image has two horizontal vanishing points and one vertical vanishing point. Thus, we eliminate a vertical vanishing point candidate by analyzing the histogram of angle distribution of vanishing point candidates. Experimental results show that the proposed algorithm outperforms conventional methods, [6] and [7]. In addition, the algorithm obtains similar performance with manual method with less than 5% of the measurement error.

This paper presents an algorithm which extends the rapidly-exploring random tree (RRT) framework to deal with change of the task environments. This algorithm called the Retrieval RRT Strategy (RRS) combines a support vector machine (SVM) and RRT and plans the robot motion in the presence of the change of the surrounding environment. This algorithm consists of two levels. At the first level, the SVM is built and selects a proper path from the bank of RRTs for a given environment. At the second level, a real path is planned by the RRT planners for the: given environment. The suggested method is applied to the control of $KUKA^{TM}$, a commercial 6 DOF robot manipulator, and its feasibility and efficiency are demonstrated via the cosimulatation of $MatLab^{TM}\;and\;RecurDyn^{TM}$.
