In this study we propose a new texture feature extraction method based on an estimation of the brightness and structural uniformity of CT images representing the important characteristics for emphysema recognition. The Center-Symmetric Local Binary Pattern (CS-LBP) is first used to combine gray level in order to describe the brightness uniformity characteristics of the CT image. Then the gradient orientation difference is proposed to generate another CS-LBP code combining with gray level to represent the structural uniformity characteristics of the CT image. The usage of the gray level, CS-LBP and gradient orientation differences enables the proposed method to extract rich and distinctive information from the CT images in multiple directions. Experimental results showed that the performance of the proposed method is more stable with respect to sensitivity and specificity when compared with the SGLDM, GLRLM and GLDM. The proposed method outperformed these three conventional methods (SGLDM, GLRLM, and GLDM) 7.85[%], 22.87[%], and 16.67[%] respectively, according to the diagnosis of average accuracy, demonstrated by the Receiver Operating Characteristic (ROC) curves.

본 논문에서는 컬러 디지털 영상에서의 특징점 추출을 위한 퍼지 임계치 설정기법을 제안한다. 이를 위하여 두 가지 종류의 퍼지 측정자를 사용하여 임계치를 계산하는 퍼지추론 시스템을 구성한다. 퍼지추론 시스템에 사용된 측정자들은 디지털 영상에서의 국부영역 밝기를 매우 잘 반영할 뿐만 아니라 특징점 추출 성능이 매우 우수함을 보여준다. 또한, 퍼지측정자로 사용되는 비선형 스케치 특징점 추출 필터의 특성을 도식적으로 해석하였고 특징점들의 특성이 반영된 퍼지추론 시스템을 설계하였다. 이와 같이 설계된 퍼지추론 시스템을 통해 디지털 영상에 포함된 특징점의 특성이 반영된 임계치를 선택하였다. 실험결과를 통해 제안된 퍼지 임계치 추론 방법이 매우 유용성을 증명할 수 있었다.

Metal additive manufacturing (AM), also known as metal three-dimensional (3D) printing, produces 3D metal products by repeatedly adding and solidifying metal materials layer by layer. During the metal AM process, products experience repeated local melting and cooling using a laser or electron beam, resulting in product defects, such as warpage, cracks, and internal pores. Such defects adversely affect the final product. This paper proposes the in situ monitoring-based warpage prediction of metal AM products with experimental feature extraction. The temperature profile of the metal AM substrate during the process was experimentally collected. Time-domain features were extracted from the temperature profile, and their relationships to the warpage mechanism were investigated. The standard deviation showed a significant linear correlation with warpage. The findings from this study are expected to contribute to optimizing process parameters for metal AM warpage reduction.

본 연구는 단순 전처리 방법과 수정된 지역적 피쳐 추출기법을 이용하여 특성이 다른 적외선영상 자동 기하보정에 초점을 맞추고 있다. 입력영상은 히스토그램 평활화를 통해 중앙값과 절댓값을 이용하여 전처리를 수행하였으며, 추출 피쳐의 유사도를 거리가 아닌 각 개념으로 변경하여 적용함으로써, 영상간 밝기값 차이를 줄이는데 효과적으로 적용할 수 있도록 하였다. 기하보정 결과는 시각적인 방법과 Inverse RMSE 방식을 사용하여 평가하였으며, 영상의 특성 차이로 인해 기존의 지역적 피쳐 추출기법 적용으로 해결될 수 없었던 자동 기하보정이 본 알고리즘을 적용함으로써 높은 정합 신뢰도와 적용 편의성을 보임을 확인할 수 있었다. 이를 통해, 제안 방법이 특정 조건의 다중 센서 영상간 자동 기하보정 기법 중 하나로 사용될 수 있을 것으로 기대한다.

We propose the Sparse Feature Convolutional Neural Network (SFCNN) to reduce the volume of convolutional neural networks (CNNs). Despite the superior classification performance of CNNs, their enormous network volume requires high computational cost and long processing time, making real-time applications such as online-training difficult. We propose an advanced network that reduces the volume of conventional CNNs by producing a region-based sparse feature map. To produce the sparse feature map, two complementary region-based value extraction methods, cluster max extraction and local value extraction, are proposed. Cluster max is selected as the main function based on experimental results. To evaluate SFCNN, we conduct an experiment with two conventional CNNs. The network trains 59 times faster and tests 81 times faster than the VGG network, with a 1.2% loss of accuracy in multi-class classification using the Caltech101 dataset. In vehicle classification using the GTI Vehicle Image Database, the network trains 88 times faster and tests 94 times faster than the conventional CNNs, with a 0.1% loss of accuracy.

Facial feature detection is a fundamental function in the field of computer vision such as security, bio-metrics, 3D modeling, and face recognition. There are many algorithms for the function, active shape model is one of the most popular local texture models. This paper addresses issues related to face detection, and implements an efficient extraction algorithm for extracting the facial feature points to use on iOS platform. In this paper, we extend the original ASM algorithm to improve its performance by four modifications. First, to detect a face and to initialize the shape model, we apply a face detection API provided from iOS CoreImage framework. Second, we construct a weighted local structure model for landmarks to utilize the edge points of the face contour. Third, we build a modified model definition and fitting more landmarks than the classical ASM. And last, we extend and build two-dimensional profile model for detecting faces within input images. The proposed algorithm is evaluated on experimental test set containing over 500 face images, and found to successfully extract facial feature points, clearly outperforming the original ASM.

본 논문에서는 영상의 다양한 특징 정보 중에서 색상 특징과 모양 특징을 이용한 영상 검색 시스템을 제안한다. 색상 특징은 지역별 색상 분포 히스토그램을 추출하고, 각 지역의 히스토그램 중에 가장 큰 값을 가지는 4개의 값을 특징 정보로 이용한다. 모양 특징을 추출하기 위한 전처리 과정은 경계면 추출과정, 경계면에 대한 무게 중심 추출 과정, angular sampling 과정으로 구성되고, 무게 중심으로부터 경계면까지의 거리의 합, 표준 편차, 장축/단축 비율을 특징 정보로 이용한다. 각 질의 영상들의 특징 정보와 데이터베이스에 저장된 영상들의 특징 정보들 비교하여 유사도 순위에 따라 후보영상들이 검색된다. 200개의 폐곡선을 이루는 상표영상에 대한 검색 실험을 통하여 색상 정보와 모양 정보에 대한 정확도를 측정하였다. 실험 결과 평균 Recall/Precision이 0.72/0.83를 보임으로써 제안된 방법이 유용함을 보였다.

The extraction and recognition of human motion characteristics need to combine biometrics to determine and judge human behavior in the movement and distinguish individual identities. The so-called biometric technology, the specific operation is the use of the body's inherent biological characteristics of individual identity authentication, the most noteworthy feature is the invariance and uniqueness. In the past, the behavior recognition technology based on the single characteristic was too restrictive, in this paper, we proposed a mixed feature which combined global silhouette feature and local optical flow feature, and this combined representation was used for human action recognition. And we will use the KTH database to train and test the recognition system. Experiments have been very desirable results.

In this paper a new feature extraction and target classification method is proposed for the recognition part of FLIR(Forwar Looking Infrared)-image-based ATR system. Proposed feature extraction method is "cluster(=set of classes)-based"version of previous fisherfaces method that is known by its robustness to illumination changes in face recognition. Expecially introduced class clustering and cluster-based projection method maximizes the performance of fisherfaces method. Proposed target image classification method is based on the mixture of experts model which consists of RBF-type experts and MLP-type gating networks. Mixture of experts model is well-suited with ATR system because it should recognizee various targets in complexed feature space by variously mixed conditions. In proposed classification method, one expert takes charge of one cluster and the separated structure with experts reduces the complexity of feature space and achieves more accurate local discrimination between classes. Proposed feature extraction and classification method showed distinguished performances in recognition test with customized. FLIR-vehicle-image database. Expecially robustness to pixelwise sensor noise and un-wanted intensity variations was verified by simulation.
