The objective of this paper is to develop an algorithm for a real-time automatic fingerprint recognition system. The algorithm employs the Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) in determining the directions of ridges in fingerprint images, and utilizes statistical information in recognizing the fingerprints. The information used in fingerprint recognition is based on the dircetions along ridge curves and characteristic points such as core points and delta points. In order to find ridge directions, the algorithm applies the FFT to a small block of the size 8x8 pixels, and decides the directions by interpreting the resulted Fourier spectrum. By using the FFT, the algorithm does not require conventional preprocessing procedures such as smoothing, binarization, thinning, and restorationl. Finally, in matching two fingerprint images, the algorithm searches and compares two kinds of feature blocks, one as the blocks where the dircetions cannot be defined from the Fourier spectrum, and the other as the blocks where the changes of directions become abrupt. The proposed algorithm has been implemented on a SunSparc-2 workstation under the Open Window environment. In the experiment, the proposed algorithm has been applied to a set of fingerprint images obtained by a prism system. The result has shown that while the rate of Type II error - Incorrect recognition of two different fingerprints as the identical fingerprints - is held at 0.0%, the rate of Type I error - Incorrect recognition of two identical fingerprints as the different ones - is 2.2%.

This paper presents an application of an optimal smoothing filter for moving target tracking problem based on measured noise source. In order to measure distance and velocity for the moving target, a beamforming method is applied to use the noise source by using microphone array. Also a Kalman filter and an optimal smoothing algorithm are adopted to improve accuracy of trajectory estimation by using a Singer target model. The simulation is conducted with a missile dynamics to verify performance of the optimal smoothing filter, and a model rocket is used for experiment environment to compare the trajectory estimation results between the beamforming, the Kalman filter, and the smoother. The Kalman filter results show better tracking performance than the beamforming technique, and the estimation results of the optimal smoother outperform the Kalman filter in terms of trajectory accuracy in the experiment results.

In this paper, we propose a several smoothing techniques are compared and applied to increase the application of the LSTM-based learning model and its effectiveness. The applied smoothing technique is Savitky-Golay, exponential smoothing, and weighted moving average. Through this study, the LSTM algorithm with the Savitky-Golay filter applied in the preprocessing process showed significant best results in prediction performance than the result value shown when applying the LSTM model to Bitcoin data. To confirm the predictive performance results, the learning loss rate and verification loss rate according to the Savitzky-Golay LSTM model were compared with the case of LSTM used to remove complex factors from Bitcoin price prediction, and experimented with an average value of 20 times to increase its reliability. As a result, values of (3.0556, 0.00005) and (1.4659, 0.00002) could be obtained. As a result, since crypto-currencies such as Bitcoin have more volatility than stocks, noise was removed by applying the Savitzky-Golay in the data preprocessing process, and the data after preprocessing were obtained the most-significant to increase the Bitcoin prediction rate through LSTM neural network learning.

A new method which uses distance fields scheme and marching cube algorithm is proposed in order to get an accurate offset model of arbitrary shapes composed of triangular net. In the method, the space bounding the triangular net is divided into smaller cells. For the efficient calculation of distance fields, valid cells which will generate a portion of offset model are selected previously by the suggested detection algorithm. These valid cells are divided again into much smaller voxels which assure required accuracy. At each voxel distance fields are created by calculating the minimum distances between corner points of voxels and triangular net. After generating the whole distance fields, the offset surface were constructed by using the conventional marching cube algorithm together with mesh smoothing scheme. The effectiveness and validity of this new offset method was demonstrated by performing numerical experiments for the various types of triangular net.

Color enhancement basically deals with color manipulation in digital images. Recently, the technique has become widely used as a result of the increasing use of digital cameras. Retinex-based colorenhancement algorithms are a popular technique. In this paper, retinex with bilateral filtering is proposed to improve the quality of poorly illuminated images. Generally, it consists of three main steps: first, a retinex-based algorithm with color restoration; second, transformation mapping using histogram matching; and finally, smoothing the image using a bilateral filter. The experimental results demonstrate that the proposed method can successfully enhance image contrast while avoiding the halo effect and maintaining the color distribution in the image.

The hydrodynamic coefficients estimation (HCE) is important to design the autopilot and to predict the maneuverability of an underwater vehicle. In this paper, a system identification is proposed for an HCE of an underwater vehicle. First, we attempt to design the HCE algorithm which is insensitive to initial conditions and has good convergence, and which enables the estimation of the coefficents by using measured displacements only. Second, the sensor and measurement system which gauges the data from the full scale trials is constructed and the data smoothing algorithm is also designed to filter the noise due to irregular fluid flow without changing the data characteristics itself. Lastly the hydrodynamic coefficients are estimated by applying the measured data of full scale trials to the developed algorithm, and the estimated coefficients are verified by full scale trials.

In this work, we develop on-line traffic prediction algorithm for real-time VBR traffic. There are a number of important issues: (i) The traffic prediction algorithm should exploit the stochastic characteristics of the underlying traffic and (ii) it should quickly adapt to structural changes in underlying traffic. GOP ARIMA model effectively addresses this issues and it is used as basis in our bandwidth prediction. Our prediction model deploy Kalman filter to incorporate the prediction error for the next prediction round. We examine the performance of GOP ARIMA based prediction with linear prediction with LMS and double exponential smoothing. The proposed prediction algorithm exhibits superior performam againt the rest.

For an ordinary engineer or researcher there are too diversified branches or even disciplines which have their own jargon to complicate an easy access, Nevertheless in many cases an isomorphism or even identity of notions exist to escape our grasp when expressed in different discipline or context, In this paper the masterwork of Box and Jenkins is introduced to accustom a few terms of statisticiens, to be followed by the technique of smoothing filtering of Wiener and Kalman - Bucy. The advantages of a transform (for example Hadamard) technique are explaned as well as authors personal philosophical views.

Bayesian MAP-EM approaches have been quite useful or tomographic reconstruction in that they can stabilize the instability of well-known ML-EM approaches, and can incorporate a priori information on the underlying emission object. However, MAP reconstruction algorithms with expressive priors often suffer from the optimization problem when their objective unctions are nonquadratic. In our previous work [1], we showed that the use of deterministic annealing method greatly reduces computational burden or optimization and provides a good solution or nonquadratic objective unctions. Here, we further investigate the convergence of the deterministic annealing algorithm; our experimental results show that, while the solutions obtained by a simple quenching algorithm depend on the initial conditions, the estimates converged via deterministic annealing algorithm are consistent under various initial conditions.
