Multi-level thresholding is a method that is widely used in image segmentation. However most of the existing methods are not suited to be directly used in applicable fields and moreover expanded until a step of image segmentation. This paper proposes region-based multi-level thresholding as an image segmentation method. At first we classify pixels of each color channel to two clusters by using EWFCM(Entropy-based Weighted Fuzzy C-Means) algorithm that is an improved FCM algorithm with spatial information between pixels. To obtain better segmentation results, a reduction of clusters is then performed by a region-based reclassification step based on a similarity between regions existing in a cluster and the other clusters. The clusters are created using the classification information of pixels according to color channel. We finally perform a region merging by Bayesian algorithm based on Kullback-Leibler distance between a region and the neighboring regions as a post-processing method as many regions still exist in image. Experiments show that region-based multi-level thresholding is superior to cluster-, pixel-based multi-level thresholding, and the existing mettled. And much better segmentation results are obtained by the post-processing method.

In order to increase energy efficiency, developments of the advanced metering infrastructure (AMI) in the smart grid technology have recently been actively conducted. An essential part of AMI is analyzing power consumption and forecasting consumption patterns. In this paper, we analyze the power consumption and summarized the data errors. Monthly power consumption patterns are also analyzed using the k-means clustering algorithm. Forecasting the consumption pattern by each household is difficult. Therefore, we first classify the data into 100 clusters and then predict the average of the next day as the daily average of the clusters based on the deep neural network. Using practically collected AMI data, we analyzed the data errors and could successfully conducted power forecasting based on a clustering technique.

K-means is one of the simplest unsupervised learning algorithms that solve the clustering problem. However K-means suffers the basic shortcoming: the number of clusters k has to be known in advance. In this paper, we propose extensions of X-means, which can estimate the number of clusters using Bayesian information criterion(BIC). We introduce two different versions of algorithm: modified X-means(MX-means) and generalized X-means(GX-means), which employ one full covariance matrix for one cluster and so can estimate the number of clusters efficiently without severe over-fitting which X-means suffers due to its spherical cluster assumption. The algorithms start with one cluster and try to split a cluster iteratively to maximize the BIC score. The former uses K-means algorithm to find a set of optimal clusters with current k, which makes it simple and fast. However it generates wrongly estimated centers when the clusters are overlapped. The latter uses EM algorithm to estimate the parameters and generates more stable clusters even when the clusters are overlapped. Experiments with synthetic data show that the purposed methods can provide a robust estimate of the number of clusters and cluster parameters compared to other existing top-down algorithms.

이진 특징 기술자는 실수 벡터 형태의 특징 기술자보다 빠르게 특징점 추출 및 정합이 가능하고 메모리 공간도 적게 차지하는 장점이 있다. 하지만, 특징점의 수가 많아질수록 정합에 많은 시간이 소요되므로 실시간 처리가 중요한 객체 추적에 적용하기 위해서는 정합의 고속화 방법에 대한 연구가 필요하다. 이에 본 논문에서는 이진 특징 기술자의 군집화를 통한 특징점의 고속 정합 방법을 제안한다. 제안된 방법은 k-means 군집화 알고리즘을 기반으로 정합을 위한 기술자 탐색을 효과적으로 수행함으로써 군집화를 사용하지 않는 기존의 정합 방법에 비해 빠르면서도 높은 정확도를 유지한다.

Recent developments in ICT technology have increased interest in the care and health of pets such as dogs and cats. In this paper, cluster analysis was performed based on the component data of pet food to be used in various fields of the pet industry. For cluster analysis, the similarity was analyzed by analyzing the correlation between components of 300 dogs and cats in the market. In this paper, clustering techniques such as Hierarchical, K-Means, Partitioning around medoids (PAM), Density-based, Mean-Shift are clustered and analyzed. We also propose a personalized recommendation system for pets. The results of this paper can be used for personalized services such as feed recommendation system for pets.

In the information retrieval system, document clustering technique is to provide user convenience and visual effects by rearranging documents according to the specific topics from the retrieved ones. In this paper, we clustered documents using K-Means algorithm and present the effect of index terms weighting scheme on the document clustering. To verify the experiment, we applied Latent Semantic Indexing approach to illustrate the clustering results and analyzed the clustering results in 2-dimensional space. Experimental results showed that in case of applying local weighting, global weighting and normalization factor, the density of clustering is higher than those of similar or same weighting schemes in 2-dimensional space. Especially, the logarithm of local and global weighting is noticeable.

A clustering algorithm for Gaussian Probability Distribution Function (GPDF) data called Centroid Neural Network with a Bhattacharyya Kernel (BK-CNN) is proposed in this paper. The proposed BK-CNN is based on the unsupervised competitive Centroid Neural Network (CNN) and employs a kernel method for data projection. The kernel method adopted in the proposed BK-CNN is used to project data from the low dimensional input feature space into higher dimensional feature space so as the nonlinear problems associated with input space can be solved linearly in the feature space. In order to cluster the GPDF data, the Bhattacharyya kernel is used to measure the distance between two probability distributions for data projection. With the incorporation of the kernel method, the proposed BK-CNN is capable of dealing with nonlinear separation boundaries and can successfully allocate more code vector in the region that GPDF data are densely distributed. When applied to GPDF data in an image classification probleml, the experiment results show that the proposed BK-CNN algorithm gives 1.7%-4.3% improvements in average classification accuracy over other conventional algorithm such as k-means, Self-Organizing Map (SOM) and CNN algorithms with a Bhattacharyya distance, classed as Bk-Means, B-SOM, B-CNN algorithms.

Network intrusion detection system based on machine learning methods is quite dependent on the selected features in terms of accuracy and efficiency. Nevertheless, choosing the optimal combination of features from generally used features to detect network intrusion requires extensive computing resources. For instance, the number of possible feature combinations from given n features is $2^n-1$. In this paper, to tackle this problem we propose a optimal feature selection algorithm. Proposed algorithm is based on the local search algorithm, one of representative meta-heuristic algorithm for solving optimization problem. In addition, the accuracy of clusters which obtained using selected feature components and k-means clustering algorithm is adopted to evaluate a feature assembly. In order to estimate the performance of our proposed algorithm, comparing with a method where all features are used on NSL-KDD data set and multi-layer perceptron.
