A robot needs a human detection algorithm for interaction with a human. This paper proposes a method that finds people using a SVM (support vector machine) classifier and a stereo camera. Feature vectors of SVM are extracted by HoG (histogram of gradient) within images. After training extracted vectors from the clustered images, the SVM algorithm creates a classifier for human detection. Each candidate for a human in the image is generated by clustering of depth information from a stereo camera and the candidate is evaluated by the classifier. When compared with the existing method of creating candidates for a human, clustering reduces computational time. The experimental results demonstrate that the proposed approach can be executed in real time.

In this paper, we propose the visual tracking algorithm that takes advantage of multiple random walkers. We first show the tracking method based on support vector machine as [1] and suggest a method that suppresses feature vectors extracted from backgrounds while preserve features vectors from foregrounds. We also show how to discriminate between foregrounds and backgrounds. Learned by reducing influences of backgrounds, support vector machine can clearly distinguish foregrounds and backgrounds from the image whose target objects are similar to backgrounds and occluded by another object. Thus, the algorithm can track target objects well. Furthermore, we introduce a simple method improving tracking speed. Finally, experiments validate that proposed algorithm yield better performance than the state-of-the-art trackers on the widely-used benchmark dataset with high speed.

Fingerprint classification is useful to reduce the matching time of a huge fingerprint identification system by categorizing fingerprints into predefined classes according to their global features. Although global features are distributed diversly because of the uniqueness of a fingerprint, previous fingerprint classification methods extract global features non-adaptively from the fixed region for every fingerprint. We propose an novel method that extracts features adaptively for each fingerprint in order to classify various fingerprints effectively. It extracts ridge directional values as feature vectors from the region after searching the feature region by calculating variations of ridge directions, and classifies them using support vector machines. Experimental results with NIST4 database show that we have achieved a classification accuracy of 90.3% for the five-class problem and 93.7% for the four-class problem, and proved the validity of the proposed adaptive method by comparison with non-adaptively extracted feature vectors.

We suggest a feature reduction method to classify mouse function data sets, which integrate several biological data sets represented as high dimensional vectors. To increase classification accuracy and decrease computational overhead, it is important to reduce the dimension of features. To do this, we employed Hybrid Huberized Support Vector Machine with kernels used for a kernel logistic regression method. When compared to support vector machine, this a pproach shows the better accuracy with useful features for each mouse function.

In order to classify a web page as being benign or malicious, we designed 14 basic and 16 extended features. The basic features that we implemented were selected to represent the essential characteristics of a web page. The system heuristically combines two basic features into one extended feature in order to effectively distinguish benign and malicious pages. The support vector machine can be trained to successfully classify pages by using these features. Because more and more malicious web pages are appearing, and they change so rapidly, classifiers that are trained by old data may misclassify some new pages. To overcome this problem, we selected an adaptive support vector machine (aSVM) as a classifier. The aSVM can learn training data and can quickly learn additional training data based on the support vectors it obtained during its previous learning session. Experimental results verified that the aSVM can classify malicious web pages adaptively.

Face membership authentication is to decide whether an incoming person is an enrolled member or not using face recognition, and basically belongs to two-class classification where support vector machine (SVM) has been successfully applied. The previous SVMs used for face membership authentication have been trained and tested using image feature vectors extracted from member face images of each class (enrolled class and unenrolled class). The SVM so trained using image feature vectors extracted from members in the training set may not achieve robust performance in the testing environments where configuration and size of each class can change dynamically due to member's joining or withdrawal as well as where testing face images have different illumination, pose, or facial expression from those in the training set. In this paper, we propose an effective class discriminating feature vector-based SVM for robust face membership authentication. The adopted features for training and testing the proposed SVM are chosen so as to reflect the capability of discriminating well between the enrolled class and the unenrolled class. Thus, the proposed SVM trained by the adopted class discriminating feature vectors is less affected by the change in membership and variations in illumination, pose, and facial expression of face images. Through experiments, it is shown that the face membership authentication method based on the proposed SVM performs better than the conventional SVM-based authentication methods and is relatively robust to the change in the enrolled class configuration.

OC-SVM(One Class Support Vector Machine) avoids solving a full density estimation problem, and instead focuses on a simpler task, estimating quantiles of a data distribution, i.e. its support. OC-SVM seeks to estimate regions where most of data resides and represents the regions as a function of the support vectors, Although OC-SVM is powerful method for data description, it is difficult to incorporate human subjective importance into its estimation process, In order to integrate the importance of each point into the OC-SVM process, we propose a fuzzy version of OC-SVM. In FOC-SVM (Fuzzy One-Class Support Vector Machine), we do not equally treat data points and instead weight data points according to the importance measure of the corresponding objects. That is, we scale the kernel feature vector according to the importance measure of the object so that a kernel feature vector of a less important object should contribute less to the detection process of OC-SVM. We demonstrate the performance of our algorithm on several synthesized data sets, Experimental results showed the promising results.

Recently, support vector learning attracts great interests in the areas of pattern classification, function approximation, and abnormality detection. It is well-known that among the various support vector learning methods, the so-called no-versions are particularly useful in cases that we need to control the total number of support vectors. In this paper, we consider the problem of function approximation utilizing both predetermined basis functions and a no-version support vector learning called $\nu-SVR$. After reviewing $\varepsilon-SVR$, $\nu-SVR$, and a semi-parametric approach, this paper presents an extension of the conventional $\nu-SVR$ method toward the direction that can utilize Predetermined basis functions. Moreover, the applicability of the presented method is illustrated via an example.

An efficient and accurate classification method for failure modes of reinforced concrete (RC) columns was proposed based on key characteristic parameters. The weight coefficients of seven characteristic parameters for failure modes of RC columns were determined first based on the support vector machine-recursive feature elimination. Then key characteristic parameters for classifying flexure, flexure-shear and shear failure modes of RC columns were selected respectively. Subsequently, a support vector machine with key characteristic parameters (SVM-K) was proposed to classify three types of failure modes of RC columns. The optimal parameters of SVM-K were determined by using the ten-fold cross-validation and the grid-search algorithm based on 270 sets of available experimental data. Results indicate that the proposed SVM-K has high overall accuracy, recall and precision (e.g., accuracy>95%, recall>90%, precision>90%), which means that the proposed SVM-K has superior performance for classification of failure modes of RC columns. Based on the selected key characteristic parameters for different types of failure modes of RC columns, the accuracy of SVM-K is improved and the decision function of SVM-K is simplified by reducing the dimensions and number of support vectors.
