This paper proposes a new method for facial feature extraction, and the method could be used to normalize face images for 3D face recognition. 3D images are much less sensitive than intensity images at a source of illumination, so it is possible to recognize people individually. But input face images may have variable poses such as rotating, Panning, and tilting. If these variances ire not considered, incorrect features could be extracted. And then, face recognition system result in bad matching. So it is necessary to normalize an input image in size and orientation. It is general to use geometrical facial features such as nose, eyes, and mouth in face image normalization steps. In particular, nose is the most prominent feature in 3D face image. So this paper describes a nose feature extraction method using 3D nasal masks that are similar to real nasal shape.

This paper proposed the real time face area detection using Wavelet transform and the strong detection algorithm that satisfies the efficiency of computation and detection performance at the same time was proposed. The detected face image recognizes the face by configuring the low-dimensional face symbol through the principal component analysis. The proposed method is well suited for real-time system construction because it doesn't require a lot of computation compared to the existing geometric feature-based method or appearance-based method and it can maintain high recognition rate using the minimum amount of information. In addition, in order to reduce the wrong recognition or recognition error occurred during face recognition, the input symbol of Hidden Markov Model is used by configuring the feature values projected to the unique space as a certain symbol through clustering algorithm. By doing so, any input face will be recognized as a face model that has the highest probability. As a result of experiment, when comparing the existing method Euclidean and Mahananobis, the proposed method showed superior recognition performance in incorrect matching or matching error.

We propose soft user data input on LDPC codes with parity encoded by the (1, 7) run length limited (RLL) code for perpendicular magnetic recording channel. The user data are encoded by maximum transition run (MTR) (3;11) code. In order to minimize the loss of code rate, the (1, 7) RLL code only encode the parity of LDPC. Also, to increase performance, we propose only user data part applied soft output Viterbi algorithm (SOVA). The performance using the SOVA showed good performance lower than 26 dB. In contrast, it showed worse performance high than 26 dB. This is because of incorrect soft information by high jitter noise and two different input types for LDPC decoder.

This paper describes a recurrent neural network (RNN) for the fault classification of a blade pitch system of a spar-type floating wind turbine. An artificial neural network (ANN) can effectively recognize multiple faults of a system and build a training model with training data for decision-making. The ANN comprises an encoder and a decoder. The encoder uses a gated recurrent unit, which is a recurrent neural network, for dimensionality reduction of the input data. The decoder uses a multilayer perceptron (MLP) for diagnosis decision-making. To create data, we use a wind turbine simulator that enables fully coupled nonlinear time-domain numerical simulations of offshore wind turbines considering six fault types including biases and fixed outputs in pitch sensors and excessive friction, slit lock, incorrect voltage, and short circuits in actuators. The input data are time-series data collected by two sensors and two control inputs under the condition that of one fault of the six types occurs. A gated recurrent unit (GRU) that is one of the RNNs classifies the suggested faults of the blade pitch system. The performance of fault classification based on the gate recurrent unit is evaluated by a test procedure, and the results indicate that the proposed scheme works effectively. The proposed ANN shows a 1.4% improvement in its performance compared to an MLP-based approach.

Incorrect information on public sites can cause serious problem. One of relevant countermeasures against this problem is to detect of buried underground utilities in real time. Although there have been several method to detect of buried underground utilities, such as investigating of gravity and elastic wave and electric field, they have not been so efficient tools. Because it is too expensive and difficult to use. In this paper, magnetic sensors which could provide an easier and more efficient method are used to detect of buried underground utilities. Also fluxgate method of self detection are used. Input signal is used $1\~10kHz$ frequency. Filtering and signal processing of output signal are used labview software. After experiment, detection system of buried underground utilities which used magnetic shows possibility of precise detecting of laying object based on theorectical analysis for electromagnetic field.

In this paper, we propose an on-line recognition system of chinese characters using an adaptive resonance theory-1(ART-1) neural network. Strokes, primitive components of chinese characters are usually warped into a cursive form and classifying them is very difficult. To deal with such cursive strokes, we use an ART-1 neural network that has the following advantages: (1) it automatically assembles similar patterns together to form classes in a self-organized manner: (2) it directly accesses the recognition codes corresponding to binary input patterns after self-stabilizing; (3) it doesn't tends to get trapped in local minima, or globally incorrect solutions. A database for character recognition also dynamically constructed with generalized character lists, and a new character can be included simply by adding a new sequence to the list. Character recognition is achieved by traversing the chinese datbase with a sequence of recognized strokes and positional relations between the strokes. To verify the performance of the system. We tested it for 1800 daily-used basic chinese second per character. This results suggest that the proposed system is pertinent to be put into practical use.

Despite the highly sophisticated development of finite element analysis, a finite element model for structural dynamic analysis can be inaccurate or even incorrect due to the difficulties of correct modelling, uncertainties on the finite element input data and geometrical oversimplification, while the modal data extracted from measurement are supposed to be correct, even though incomplete. The assumption that the test results represent the true dynamic behaviour of the structure, however, may not be correct because of various measurement errors. The measurement errors are investigated and their effects on estimated frequency response functions(FRFs) are also investigated.

Recently, interest in the precast concrete (PC) construction method has been increasing. The PC construction process consists of i) design, ii) production, iii) transportation, and iv) installation. A PC field manager at the site submits a shipment request form to the factory one to three days before the installation of the PC component. Numerous matters should be considered in writing a shipment request form. Incorrect shipment request forms may cause standby resources, waste of resources, premature work conclusion, or excessive work. These issues can lead to an increase in construction costs, replanning of PC component installation, or rework. In order to prevent such problems, PC component installation should be simulated based on the shipment request form. Accordingly, this study aims to identify factors influencing the operability of shipment request forms for PC construction. To this end, this study derived factors influencing i) initiation of the activity, ii) addition or deletion of activities, and iii) an increase or decrease in the activity execution time. As a result, this study identified flow, the features of PC components, condition of PC components, unloading location, installation location, input equipment and labor, number of anchors, number of supports, weather, strike, and accident. Further studies should verify the factors derived in this study based on focus group interviews.

In the area of the speech recognition processing, background noises are caused the incorrect response to the speech input, therefore the speech recognition rates are decreased by the background noises. Accordingly, a more high level noise processing techniques are required since these kinds of noise countermeasures are not simple. Therefore, this paper proposes an algorithm to distinguish between the stationary background noises or non-stationary background noises and the speech signal having short time duration in the noisy environments. The proposed algorithm uses the characteristic parameter of the improved speech signal as an important measure in order to distinguish different types of the background noises and the speech signals. Next, this algorithm estimates various kinds of the background noises using a multi-layer perceptron neural network. In this experiment, it was experimentally clear the estimation of the background noises and the speech signals.

Many problems in computer vision are mainly based on mathematical models. Their optimal solutions can be found by estimating the parameters of each model. However, provided an input data set is involved outliers which are relative]V larger than normal noises, they lead to incorrect results. RANSAC is a representative robust algorithm which is used to resolve the problem. One major problem with RANSAC is that it needs priori knowledge(i.e. a percentage of outliers) of the distribution of data. To solve this problem, we propose a FRANSAC algorithm which improves the rejection rate of outliers and the accuracy of solutions. This is peformed by categorizing all data into good sample set, bad sample set and vague sample set using a fuzzy classification at each iteration and sampling in only good sample set. In the experimental results, we show that the performance of the proposed algorithm when it is applied to the linear regression and the calculation of a homography.
