Fires are a common cause of catastrophic personal injuries and devastating property damage. Every year, many fires occur and threaten human lives and property around the world. Providing early important sign for early fire detection, and therefore the detection of smoke is always the first step in fire-alarm systems. In this paper we propose an automatic smoke detection system built on camera surveillance and image processing technologies. The key features used in our algorithm are to detect and track smoke as moving objects and distinguish smoke from non-smoke objects using a convolutional neural network (CNN) model for cascade classification. The results of our experiment, in comparison with those of some earlier studies, show that the proposed algorithm is very effective not only in detecting smoke, but also in reducing false positives.

Nowadays, there are many research for recognizing face of people using the machine vision. the machine vision is classification and analysis technology using machine that has sight such as human eyes. In this paper, we propose algorithm for classifying human face using this machine vision system. This algorithm consist of Convolutional Neural Network and cascade face detector. And using this algorithm, we classified the face of subjects. For training the face classification algorithm, 2,000, 3,000, and 4,000 images of each subject are used. Training iteration of Convolutional Neural Network had 10 and 20. Then we classified the images. In this paper, about 6,000 images was classified for effectiveness. And we implement the system that can classify the face of subjects in realtime using USB camera.

This paper presents a combination of the generalized Cascade Correlation and generalized Recurrent Cascade Correlation learning algorithms. The new network will be able to grow with vertical or horizontal direction and with recurrent or without recurrent units for the quick solution of the pattern classification problem. The proposed algorithm was tested learning capability with the sigmoidal activation function and hyperbolic tangent activation function on the contact lens and balance scale standard benchmark problems. And results are compared with those obtained with Cascade Correlation and Recurrent Cascade Correlation algorithms. By the learning the new network was composed with the minimal number of the created hidden units and shows quick learning speed. Consequently it will be able to improve a learning capability.

Viola and Jones object detection algorithm is a representative face detection algorithm. The algorithm uses Haar-like features for face expression and uses a cascade-Adaboost algorithm consisting of strong classifiers, a linear combination of weak classifiers for classification. This algorithm requires several parameter settings for its implementation and the set values affect its performance. This paper analyzes face detection performance according to the parameters set in the algorithm.

In this paper, we suggest an advanced algorithm, to recognize pedestrian/non-pedestrian using second-stage cascade method, which applies Adaboost algorithm to make a strong classification from weak classifications. First, we extract two feature vectors: (i) Histogram of Oriented Gradient (HOG) which includes gradient information and differential magnitude; (ii) Curvature-HOG which is based on four different curvature features per pixel. And then, a strong classification needs to be obtained from weak classifications for composite recognition method using both HOG and curvature-HOG. In the proposed method, we use one feature vector and one strong classification for the first stage of recognition. For the recognition-failed image, the other feature and strong classification will be used for the second stage of recognition. Based on our experiment, the proposed algorithm shows higher recognition rate compared to the traditional method.

Automatic modulation classification is essential in radar emitter identification. We propose a cascade classifier by combining a support vector machine (SVM) and convolutional neural network (CNN), considering that noise might be taken as radar signals. First, the SVM distinguishes noise signals by the main ridge slice feature of signals. Second, the complex envelope features of the predicted radar signals are extracted and placed into a designed CNN, where a modulation classification task is performed. Simulation results show that the SVM-CNN can effectively distinguish radar signals from noise. The overall probability of successful recognition (PSR) of modulation is 98.52% at 20 dB and 82.27% at -2 dB with low computation costs. Furthermore, we found that the accuracy of intermediate frequency estimation significantly affects the PSR. This study shows the possibility of training a classifier using complex envelope features. What the proposed CNN has learned can be interpreted as an equivalent matched filter consisting of a series of small filters that can provide different responses determined by envelope features.

The modern wireless communication system employes the beamforming technique based on a massive array antenna with a number of elements, for supporting the smooth communication services. A reliable beamforming technology requires the Angle-of-Arrival(: AOA) information for the signal incident to the receiving antenna, which is generally estimated by the high-resolution AOA estimation algorithm such as Multiple Signal Classification(: MUSIC). Although the MUSIC algorithm has the excellent estimation performance, it is difficult to estimate AOA in real time for the massive array antenna due to the extremely high computational complexity. In order to enhance this problem, in this paper, we propose the cascade AOA estimation algorithm based on a Flexible Massive Concentric Circular Array(: FMCCA) antenna with the On/Off function for antenna elements. The proposed cascade algorithm consists of the CAPON algorithm using some elements among entire antenna elements and the Beamspace MUSIC algorithm using entire elements. We provide computer simulation results for various scenarios to demonstrate the AOA estimation performance of the proposed approach.

귀납적 학습방법들의 분류성능을 비교 평가하기 위하여 대표적 분류문제의 하나인 신용평가 문제를 사용하였다. 분류기로서 사용된 귀납적 학습방법론들은 통계학의 다변량 판별분석(MDA), 기계학습 분야의 C4.5, 신경망의 다계층 퍼셉트론(MLP) 및 Cascade Correlation Network(CCN)의 4 가지이며, 학습자료로는 국내 3개 신용평가기관이 발표한 신용등급 및 공포된 재무제표를 사용하였다. 신용등급 예측의 정확도에 의한 분류성능을 평가하였는데 연도별 평가와 시계열 평가의 두 가지를 실시하였다. Cascade Correlation Network이 가장 좋은 분류성능을 보였지만 4가지 분류기들 사이에 통계적으로 유의한 차이는 발견되지 않았다. 이는 사용된 학습자료가 갖는 한계로 인한 것으로 추정되지만, 성능평가 과정에 있어 학습자료의 전처리 과정이 분류성과의 제고에 매우 유효함이 입증되었다.

In the next generation wireless communication system, the beamforming technique based on a massive antenna is one of core technologies for transmitting and receiving huge amounts of data, efficiently and accurately. For highly performed and highly reliable beamforming, it is required to accurately estimate the Angle of Arrival (AOA) for the desired signal incident to an antenna. Employing the massive antenna with a large number of elements, although the accuracy of the AOA estimation is enhanced, its computational complexity is dramatically increased so much that real-time communication is difficult. In order to improve this problem, AOA estimation algorithms based on the massive antenna with the low computational complexity have been actively studied. In this paper, we compute and analyze the computational complexity of the cascade AOA estimation algorithm based on the Flexible Massive Concentric Circular Array (FMCCA). In addition, its computational complexity is compared to conventional AOA estimation techniques such as the Multiple Signal Classification (MUSIC) algorithm with the high resolution and the Only Beamspace MUSIC (OBM) algorithm.
