An eigenspace projection clustering method is proposed for structural damage detection by combining projection algorithm and fuzzy clustering technique. The integrated procedure includes data selection, data normalization, projection, damage feature extraction, and clustering algorithm to structural damage assessment. The frequency response functions (FRFs) of the healthy and the damaged structure are used as initial data, median values of the projections are considered as damage features, and the fuzzy c-means (FCM) algorithm are used to categorize these features. The performance of the proposed method has been validated using a three-story frame structure built and tested by Los Alamos National Laboratory, USA. Two projection algorithms, namely principal component analysis (PCA) and kernel principal component analysis (KPCA), are compared for better extraction of damage features, further six kinds of distances adopted in FCM process are studied and discussed. The illustrated results reveal that the distance selection depends on the distribution of features. For the optimal choice of projections, it is recommended that the Cosine distance is used for the PCA while the Seuclidean distance and the Cityblock distance suitably used for the KPCA. The PCA method is recommended when a large amount of data need to be processed due to its higher correct decisions and less computational costs.

In a case of mushroom (Lentinus Edodes L.) , visual features are crucial for grading and the quantitative evaluation of the growth state. The extracted quantitative visual features can be used as a performance index for the drying process control or used for the automatic sorting and grading task. First, primary external features of the front and back sides of mushroom were analyzed. And computer vision based algorithm were developed for the extraction and measurement of those features. An automatic thresholding algorithm , which is the combined type of the window extension and maximum depth finding was developed. Freeman's chain coding was modified by gradually expanding the mask size from 3X3 to 9X9 to preserve the boundary connectivity. According to the side of mushroom determined from the automatic recognition algorithm size thickness, overall shape, and skin texture such as pattern, color (lightness) ,membrane state, and crack were quantified and measured. A portion of t e stalk was also identified and automatically removed , while reconstructing a new boundary using the Overhauser curve formulation . Algorithms applied and developed were coded using MS_C language Ver, 6.0, PC VISION Plus library functions, and VGA graphic function as a menu driven way.

Facial feature extraction and tracking are essential steps in human-robot-interaction (HRI) field such as face recognition, gaze estimation, and emotion recognition. Active shape model (ASM) is one of the successful generative models that extract the facial features. However, applying only ASM is not adequate for modeling a face in actual applications, because positions of facial features are unstably extracted due to limitation of the number of iterations in the ASM fitting algorithm. The unaccurate positions of facial features decrease the performance of the emotion recognition. In this paper, we propose real-time facial feature extraction and tracking framework using ASM and LK optical flow for emotion recognition. LK optical flow is desirable to estimate time-varying geometric parameters in sequential face images. In addition, we introduce a straightforward method to avoid tracking failure caused by partial occlusions that can be a serious problem for tracking based algorithm. Emotion recognition experiments with k-NN and SVM classifier shows over 95% classification accuracy for three emotions: "joy", "anger", and "disgust".

이 논문에서는 위상회전에 의한 오목구조의 짐출로서 필기체 한글을 인식하는 한 방법을 검토한다. 문자 Pattern를 오목구조적인 기본 Segment로 분해하여 집합으로 분류하고, 그들 집함에 대한 각 Segment의 폐상태와 위상특징을 logic으로 표현한다. 다음 그들 logic pattern의 위상회전으로서 오목구조의 topological성질과 위상특징을 검출하여 문자를 결정한다. 이 방법은 필기체의 변화와 문자의 대소, 경사 띤 위치 변위에 대한 식별의 유연성을 가지며, 인식율이 높다. In this paper, a method is proposed for the recognition of hand-written Hangeul. This is peiformed by extraction of the concave structural segments by phase rotation. Character patterns can be decomposed into the fundamental concave structural segments which are also categorized into segment sects, and the closure and phase features of each segment in set is represented by logics. By rotating the logic pattern, the topological and phase features of segment are extracted for the reliable recognition of the character. It is also evaluated that this method applies to a wide variety of shape, position and declination of the character.

영상 처리를 통한 특징 추출은 영상 검색, 객체 인식, 영상 인덱싱을 포함하는 다양한 분야에서 전처리 과정으로 사용되어 왔다. 특히, 영상 질감 분석에서는 질감 특성 추출을 더 용이하게 하기 위해 질감의 대비를 증가시키는 방법을 사용한다. 생체 현미경 영상에서 두드러진 질감중의 하나는 주름이며 주름의 특징은 노화 관련 응용에 유용한 정보를 다양하게 제공한다. 본 논문에서는 피부 영상에서 나이 관련 특징을 추출하는 기존 방법을 개선하여 피부 나이 측정의 정확도를 높이는 방법을 제안한다.

Software fault prediction is a method to compute fault in the software sections using software properties which helps to evaluate the quality of software in terms of cost and effort. Recently, several software fault detection techniques have been proposed to classifying faulty or non-faulty. However, for such a person, and most studies have shown the power of predictive errors in their own databases, the performance of the software is not consistent. In this paper, we propose a hybrid soft computing technique for SFP based on optimal feature extraction and classification (HST-SFP). First, we introduce the bat induced butterfly optimization (BBO) algorithm for optimal feature selection among multiple features which compute the most optimal features and remove unnecessary features. Second, we develop a layered recurrent neural network (L-RNN) based classifier for predict the software faults based on their features which enhance the detection accuracy. Finally, the proposed HST-SFP technique has the more effectiveness in some sophisticated technical terms that outperform databases of probability of detection, accuracy, probability of false alarms, precision, ROC, F measure and AUC.

본 논문은 영상 속 객체와 배경의 컬러 특징을 이용한 주요 객체의 자동 추출 방법에 관한 연구이다. 인간이 객체를 판단할 때에는 배경과 객체의 색상 차이를 이용하는데 이러한 요소를 객체 추출 방법에 적용시키기 위해서는 배경과 객체의 색차를 강조하여야 한다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 원 RGB 영상을 인간의 시각 시스템과 유사한 HSV 색 공간으로 변환하고 각기 다른 분포도의 메디안 필터를 적용한 두 개의 영상을 생성한 뒤 두 개의 메디안 필터가 적용된 영상들을 합산하였고 데이터 군집화 방법인 Mean Shift 알고리즘을 적용하여 색상 특징을 그룹화 하였다. 마지막으로 이진화 작업을 위하여 영상의 채널 수를 3 채널에서 1 채널로 정규화 한 뒤 영상 내 픽셀들의 평균값을 임계값으로 이용하는 이진화 방법으로 객체 지도 영상을 생성하였고 주요 객체를 추출하였다.

The vast number of biomedical literature is an important source of biomedical interaction information discovery. However, it is complicated to obtain interaction information from them because most of them are not easily readable by machine. In this paper, we present a method for extracting biomedical interaction information assuming that the biomedical Named Entities (NEs) are already identified. The proposed method labels all possible pairs of given biomedical NEs as INTERACTION or NO-INTERACTION by using a Maximum Entropy (ME) classifier. The features used for the classifier are obtained by applying various NLP techniques such as POS tagging, base phrase recognition, parsing and predicate-argument recognition. Especially, specific verb predicates (activate, inhibit, diminish and etc.) and their biomedical NE arguments are very useful features for identifying interactive NE pairs. Based on this, we devised a twostep method: 1) an interaction verb extraction step to find biomedically salient verbs, and 2) an argument relation identification step to generate partial predicate-argument structures between extracted interaction verbs and their NE arguments. In the experiments, we analyzed how much each applied NLP technique improves the performance. The proposed method can be completely improved by more than 2% compared to the baseline method. The use of external contextual features, which are obtained from outside of NEs, is crucial for the performance improvement. We also compare the performance of the proposed method against the co-occurrence-based and the rule-based methods. The result demonstrates that the proposed method considerably improves the performance.
