최근 많은 지능형 보안 시나리오 및 범죄수사에서는 사진이 아닌 얼굴 영상과 다수의 정면 사진과의 매칭을 요구한다. 기존의 얼굴 인식 시스템은 이러한 요구를 충분히 충족시킬 수 없다. 본 논문에서는 동일 인물의 스케치와 사진 간의 양식 차이를 줄임으로써, 이질적 얼굴 인식 시스템의 성능을 향상시키는 알고리즘을 제안한다. 제안하는 알고리즘은 텍스처 기술자들(그레이 레벨 동시 발생 행렬, 멀티스케일 지역 이진 패턴)을 통하여 영상의 텍스처 특징들을 각각 추출하고, 이를 바탕으로 고유특징 정규화 및 추출기법을 통해 변환 행렬을 생성하게 된다. 이렇게 생성된 벡터들 간 계산된 스코어 값은 스코어 정규화 방식들을 통하여 최종적으로 스케치 영상의 신원을 인식하게 된다.

As the exploration of the seabed is extended ever further, automated recognition and classification of sonar images become increasingly important. However, most of the methods ignore the directional information and its effect on the image textures produced. To deal with this problem, we apply 2D Gabor filters to extract the features of sonar images. The filters are designed with constrained parameters to reduce the complexity and to improve the calculation efficiency. Meanwhile, at each orientation, the optimal Gabor filter parameters will be selected with the help of bandwidth parameters based on the Fisher criterion. This method can overcome some disadvantages of the traditional approaches of extracting texture features, and improve the recognition rate effectively.

In retrieving large database of image data, the clustering is essential for fast retrieval. However, it is difficult to cluster a number of image data adequately. Moreover, current retrieval methods using similarities are uncertain of retrieval accuracy and take much retrieving time. In this paper, a suggested image retrieval system combines Fuzzy ART neural network algorithm to reinforce defects and to support them efficiently. This image retrieval system takes color and texture as specific feature required in retrieval system and normalizes each of them. We adapt Fuzzy ART algorithm as neural network which receive normalized input-vector and propose improved Fuzzy ART algorithm. The result of implementation with 200 image data shows approximately retrieval ratio of 83%.

This paper attempts to classify known facial expressions and to establish the correlations between two regions (eye + eyebrows and mouth) in identifying the six prototypic expressions. Covariance is used to describe region texture that captures facial features for classification. The texture captured exhibit the pattern observed during the execution of particular expressions. Feature matching is done by simple distance measure between the probe and the modeled representations of eye and mouth components. We target JAFFE database in this experiment to validate our claim. A high classification rate is observed from the mouth component and the correlation between the two (eye and mouth) components. Eye component exhibits a lower classification rate if used independently.

We investigated whether the CT images of hepatic lesions could be analyzed by computer-aided diagnosis (CAD) tool. We retrospectively reanalyzed 14 liver CT images (10 hepatocellular cancers and 4 benign liver lesions; patients who presented with hepatic masses). The hepatic lesions on CT were segmented by rectangular ROI technique and the morphologic features were extracted and quantitated using fractal texture analysis. The contrast enhancement of hepatic lesions was also quantified and added to the differential diagnosis. The best discriminating function combining the textural features and the values of contrast enhancement of the lesions was created using linear discriminant analysis. Textural feature analysis showed moderate accuracy in the differential diagnosis of hepatic lesions, but statistically insignificant. Combining textural analysis and contrast enhancement value resulted in improved diagnostic accuracy, but further studies are needed.

In the last few years rapid improvements in hardware technology have made it possible to process, store and retrieve huge amounts of data ina multimedia format. As a result, Content-Based Image Retrieval(CBIR) has been receiving widespred interest during the last decade. This paper propose the content-based retrieval system as a method for performing image retrieval throught the effective feature analysis of the object of significant meaning by using texture descriptor.

In the process of the sonar image textures produced, the orientation and scale factors are very significant. However, most of the related methods ignore the directional information and scale invariance or just pay attention to one of them. To overcome this problem, we apply Gabor wavelet to extract the features of sonar images, which combine the advantages of both the Gabor filter and traditional wavelet function. The mother wavelet is designed with constrained parameters and the optimal parameters will be selected at each orientation, with the help of bandwidth parameters based on the Fisher criterion. The Gabor wavelet can have the properties of both multi-scale and multi-orientation. Based on our experiment, this method is more appropriate than traditional wavelet or single Gabor filter as it provides the better discrimination of the textures and improves the recognition rate effectively. Meanwhile, comparing with other fusion methods, it can reduce the complexity and improve the calculation efficiency.

Local Binary Pattern (LBP) is becoming a popular tool for various machine vision applications such as face recognition, classification and background subtraction. In this paper, we propose a new extension of LBP, called the Diagonal LBP (DLBP), to handle the image-based gender classification problem arise in interactive display systems. Instead of comparing neighbor pixels with the center pixel, DLBP generates codes by comparing a neighbor pixel with the diagonal pixel (the neighbor pixel in the opposite side). It can reduce by half the code length of LBP and consequently, can improve the computation complexity. The Support Vector Machine is utilized as the gender classifier, and the texture profile based on DLBP is adopted as the feature vector. Experimental results revealed that our approach based on the diagonal LPB is very efficient and can be utilized in various real-time pattern classification applications.

In this paper, we introduce a technique for 360-degree panoramic video streaming with multiple virtual cameras in real-time. The proposed technique consists of generating 360-degree panoramic video data by ORB feature point detection, texture transformation, panoramic video data compression, and RTSP-based video streaming transmission. Especially, the generating process of 360-degree panoramic video data and texture transformation are accelerated by CUDA for complex processing such as camera calibration, stitching, blending, encoding. Our experiment evaluated the frames per second (fps) of the transmitted 360-degree panoramic video. Experimental results verified that our technique takes at least 30fps at 4K output resolution, which indicates that it can both generates and transmits 360-degree panoramic video data in real time.

SOFM(Self-organizing Feature Map)은 고차원의 데이타를 군집화(clustering)하거나 시각화(visualization)하기 위해 많이 사용되고 있는 비교사 학습 신경망(unsupervised neural network)의 한 종류이며, 컴퓨터비전이나 패턴인식 분야에서 다양하게 활용되고 있다. 최근 SOFM이 실제 응용분야에 다양하게 활용되고 좋은 결과를 보이고 있지만, 학습된 SOFM의 뉴론(neuron)을 다시 군집화해야 하는 후처리가 필요하며, 대부분의 경우 수동으로 이루어지고 있다. 후처리를 자동으로 하기 위해 k-means와 같은 기존의 군집화 알고리즘을 많이 이용하지만, 이 방법은 특히 다양한 모양의 클래스를 가진 고차원의 데이타에서 만족스럽지 못한 결과를 보인다. 다양한 모양의 클래스에서 좋은 성능을 보이기 위해, 본 논문에서는 그래프 컷(graph cut)을 이용하여 학습된 SOFM을 자동으로 군집화하는 방법을 제안한다. 그래프 컷을 이용할 때 터미널(terminal)이라는 두 개의 추가적인 정점(vertex)이 필요하며, 터미널과 각 정점 사이의 가중치는 대부분 사용자에 의해 입력받은 사전정보를 기반으로 설정된다. 제안된 방법은 SOFM의 거리 매트릭스(distance matrix)를 기반으로 한 모드 탐색(mode-seeking)과 모드의 군집화를 통하여 자동으로 사전정보를 설정하며, 학습된 SOFM의 군집화를 자동으로 수행한다. 실험에서 효율성을 검증하기 위해 제안된 방법을 텍스처 분할(texture segmentation)에 적용하였다. 실험 결과에서 제안된 방법은 기존의 군집화 알고리즘을 이용한 방법보다 높은 정확도를 보였으며, 이는 그래프기반의 군집화를 통해 다양한 모양의 클러스터를 처리할 수 있기 때문이다.
