This paper proposes an automatic indexing algorithm of golf video using audio information. In the proposed algorithm, the input audio stream is demultiplexed into the stream of video and audio. By means of Adaboost-cascade classifier, the continuous audio stream is classified into announcer's speech segment recorded in studio, music segment accompanied with players' names on TV screen, reaction segment of audience according to the play, reporter's speech segment with field background, filed noise segment like wind or waves. And golf swing sound including drive shot, iron shot, and putting shot is detected by the method of impulse onset detection and modulation spectrum verification. The detected swing and applause are used effectively to index action or highlight unit. Compared with video based semantic analysis, main advantage of the proposed system is its small computation requirement so that it facilitates to apply the technology to embedded consumer electronic devices for fast browsing.

This paper presents a method for real-time face detection and tracking which combined Adaboost and Camshift algorithm. Adaboost algorithm is a method which selects an important feature called weak classifier among many possible image features by tuning weight of each feature from learning candidates. Even though excellent performance extracting the object, computing time of the algorithm is very high with window size of multi-scale to search image region. So direct application of the method is not easy for real-time tasks such as multi-task OS, robot, and mobile environment. But CAMshift method is an improvement of Mean-shift algorithm for the video streaming environment and track the interesting object at high speed based on hue value of the target region. The detection efficiency of the method is not good for environment of dynamic illumination. We propose a combined method of Adaboost and CAMshift to improve the computing speed with good face detection performance. The method was proved for real image sequences including single and more faces.

This paper proposes an algorithm to effectively detect the traffic lights and recognize the traffic signals using a monocular camera mounted on the front windshield glass of a vehicle in day time. The algorithm consists of three main parts. The first part is to generate the candidates of a traffic light. After conversion of RGB color model into HSI and YCbCr color spaces, the regions considered as a traffic light are detected. For these regions, edge processing is applied to extract the borders of the traffic light. The second part is to divide the candidates into traffic lights and non-traffic lights using Haar-like features and Adaboost algorithm. The third part is to recognize the signals of the traffic light using a template matching. Experimental results show that the proposed algorithm successfully detects the traffic lights and recognizes the traffic signals in real time in a variety of environments.

In this paper, we suggest an advanced algorithm, to recognize pedestrian/non-pedestrian using differential haar-like feature, which applies Adaboost algorithm to make a strong classification from weak classifications. First, we extract two feature vectors: horizontal haar-like feature and vertical haar-like feature. For the next, we calculate the proposed feature vector using differential haar-like method. And then, a strong classification needs to be obtained from weak classifications for composite recognition method using the differential area of horizontal and vertical haar-like. In the proposed method, we use one feature vector and one strong classification for the first stage of recognition. Based on our experiment, the proposed algorithm shows higher recognition rate compared to the traditional method for the pedestrian and non-pedestrian.

We propose a multi-class AdaBoost algorithm for en efficient classification of multi-class data in this paper. Traditional AdaBoost algorithm is basically a binary classifier and it has limitations when applied to multi-class data problems even though multi-class versions are available. In order to overcome the problems on the AdaBoost algorithm for multi-class classification problems, we devise an AdaBoost architecture with a training algorithm that utilizes multi-class classifiers for its weak classifiers instead of series of binary classifiers. Experiments on a image classification problem using collected Caltech Image Database are preformed. The results show that the proposed AdaBoost architecture can reduce its training time while maintaining its classification accuracy competitive when compared to Adaboost.M2.

방송 콘텐츠 제작에는 카메라, VCR, NLE, 인코더 등의 장비가 사용되고 있으며, VCR 헤더 불량, 테이프 노후화/보관불량, NLE 편집 오류, 인코더 장비 불량 등의 다양한 이유로 콘텐츠에 예기치 않은 비디오 및 오디오 오류가 발생할 수 있다. 이러한 문제점을 해결하기 위하여 콘텐츠에 포함된 다양한 비디오 및 오디오 오류를 자동으로 검사할 수 있는 자동 검사 시스템이 요구된다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 다양한 오류를 자동으로 검사할 수 있는 방법 중 특히 비디오 내에 종종 포함되는 블록 오류를 대상으로 하는 고속 오류 검출 방법을 설명한다. 제안한 방법은 비디오 내의 매 프레임의 코너 수를 계산하고, 시간 증가에 따른 코너 수의 변화량을 검사하여 블록 오류가 포함될 것으로 예상되는 후보 프레임을 찾는 1단계 과정과, 후보 프레임을 대상으로 Adaboost 인식 기술을 사용하여 학습한 분류기를 통해 최종 블록 오류가 포함된 프레임을 검출하는 2단계 과정으로 구성된다. 시스템 구현 실험 결과, 비디오 내에 포함된 블록 오류를 프레임 단위로 정확하게 고속 검출 하는 것이 가능함을 확인하였다. SD급의 경우 실시간 대비 2.3배속 가량의 고속 검사가 가능하고 HD의 경우에도 0.8배속 수준의 고속 검사가 가능하였다.

In recent decades, the study of human brain function has dramatically increased thanks to the advent of Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging. This is a powerful tool which provides a deep view of the activities of the brain. From fMRI data, the neuroscientists analyze which parts of the brain have responsibility for a particular action and finding the common pattern representing each state involved in these tasks. This is one of the most challenges in neuroscience area because of noisy, sparsity of data as well as the differences of anatomical brain structure of each person. In this paper, we propose the use of appropriate discriminant methods, such as Fisher Discriminant Ratio and hypothesis testing, together with strong boosting ability of Adaboost classifier. We prove that discriminant methods are effective in classifying cognitive states. The experiment results show significant better accuracy than previous works. We also show that it is possible to train a successful classifier without prior anatomical knowledge and use only a small number of features.
