Modeling of fighter pilots, which is a fundamental technology for war games using defense M&S (Modeling & Simulation) becomes one of the prominent research issues as the importance of defense M&S increases. Especially, the recent accumulation of combat logs makes it possible to adopt statistical learning methods to pilot modeling, and an HMM (Hidden Markov Model) which is able to utilize the sequential characteristic of combat logs is suitable for the modeling. However, since an HMM works only by using one type of features, discrete or continuous, to apply an HMM to heterogeneous features, type integration is required. Therefore, we propose a dPCA-HMM method, where dPCA (Discrete Principal Component Analysis) is combined with an HMM for the type integration. From experiments conducted on combat logs acquired from a simulator furnished by agency for defense development, the performance of the proposed model is evaluated and was satisfactory.

In this paper, we propose a HMM(Hidden Markov Model)-based segmentation method to model shadows as well as foreground and background regions. The shadow of moving objects often keeps from visual tracking. We propose an HMM-based segmentation method which classifies each object in real time. In the case of traffic monitoring movies, the effectiveness of the proposed method was proved by experiments.

In this paper, we propose an HMM(Hidden Markov modeJ)-MLP(Multi-layer perceptron) hybrid model for recognizing legal words on the English bank check. We adopt an explicit segmentation-based word level architecture to implement an HMM engine with nonscaled and non-normalized symbol vectors. We also introduce an MLP for implicit segmentation-based word recognition. The final recognition model consists of a hybrid combination of the HMM and MLP with a new hybrid probability measure. The main contributions of this model are a novel design of the segmentation-based variable length HMMs and an efficient method of combining two heterogeneous recognition engines. ExperimenLs have been conducted using the legal word database of CENPARMI with encouraging results.

Wake Up Word (WUW) is a short utterance used to convert speech recognizer to recognition mode. The WUW defined by the user who actually use the speech recognizer is called user-defined WUW. In this paper, to recognize user-defined WUW, we construct traditional Gaussian Mixture Model-Hidden Markov Model (GMM-HMM), Linear Discriminant Analysis (LDA)-GMM-HMM and LDA-Deep Neural Network (DNN)-HMM based system and compare their performances. Also, to improve recognition accuracy of the WUW system, a threshold method is applied to each model, which significantly reduces the error rate of the WUW recognition and the rejection failure rate of non-WUW simultaneously. For LDA-DNN-HMM system, when the WUW error rate is 9.84 %, the rejection failure rate of non-WUW is 0.0058 %, which is about 4.82 times lower than the LDA-GMM-HMM system. These results demonstrate that LDA-DNN-HMM model developed in this paper proves to be highly effective for constructing user-defined WUW recognition system.

This paper discribes the method associated with modeling of Korean phonemes. Hidden Markov models(HMM's) may be viewed as an effective technique for modeling the inherent nonstationarity of speech signal. We propose a 3-state phoneme model to represent the sequentially changing characteristics of phonemes, i.e., transition-to-stationary-to-transition. Also we clarify that the duration of a phoneme is an important factor to have an effect in recognition accuracy and show that improvement in recognition rate can be obtained by using duration-dependent 3-state hidden Markov models.

Hidden Markov Model is one of the most successful and popular tools for modeling real world sequential data. Real world signals come in a variety of shapes and variabilities, among which temporal and spectral ones are the prime targets that the HMM aims at. A new problem that is gaining increasing attention is characterizing missing observations in incomplete data sequences. They are incomplete in that there are holes or omitted measurements. The standard HMM algorithms have been developed for complete data with a measurements at each regular point in time. This paper presents a modified algorithm for a discrete HMM that allows substantial amount of omissions in the input sequence. Basically it is a variant of Baum-Welch which explicitly considers the case of isolated or a number of omissions in succession. The algorithm has been tested on online handwriting samples expressed in direction codes. An extensive set of experiments show that the HMM so modeled are highly flexible showing a consistent and robust performance regardless of the amount of omissions.

Distinct from the Markov random field or pseudo 2D HMM models for image analysis, this paper proposes a new model of 2D hidden Markov mesh chain(HMMM) model which subsumes the definitions of and the assumptions underlying the conventional HMM. The proposed model is a new theoretical realization of 2D HMM with the causality of top-down and left-right progression and the complete lattice constraint. These two conditions enable an efficient mesh decoding for model estimation and a recursive maximum likelihood estimation of model parameters. Those algorithms are developed in theoretical perspective and, in particular, the training algorithm, it is proved, attains the optimal set of parameters.

In this paper, we propose an algorithm to detect semantic events in golf video using Hidden Markov Model. The purpose of this paper is to identify and classify the golf events to facilitate highlight-based video indexing and summarization. In this paper we first define 4 semantic events, and then design HMM model with states made up of each event. We also use 10 multiple visual features based on MPEG-7 visual descriptors to acquire parameters of HMM for each event. Experimental results showed that the proposed algorithm provided reasonable detection performance for identifying a variety of golf events.

In vocabulary recognition using HMM(Hidden Markov Model) by model for the observation of a discrete probability distribution indicates the advantages of low computational complexity, but relatively low recognition rate has the disadvantage that require sophisticated smoothing process. Gaussian mixtures in order to improve them with a continuous probability density CHMM (Continuous Hidden Markov Model) model is proposed for the optimization of the library system. In this paper is system configuration thread control in recognition Gaussian mixtures model provides a model to optimize of the CHMM vocabulary recognition. The result of applying the proposed system, the recognition rate of 98.1% in vocabulary recognition, respectively.

Several studies regarding drought indices and criteria have been widely studied in the literature. If one defines the onset, severity, and end of droughts, in general, a certain threshold needs to be set to assess the drought events. However, the uncertainty associated with the threshold is a critical problem in drought analysis. To take full advantage of the inherent features in the rainfall series, a Hidden Markov Model (HMM) based probabilistic drought analysis was proposed rather than using the existing threshold based analysis. As a result, the proposed HMM based probabilistic drought analysis scheme shows better performance in terms of defining drought state and understanding underlying characteristics of the drought. In addition, the HMM based approach is capable of quantifying the uncertainties associated with the classifying meteorological drought condition in a systematic way.
