Vision based object recognition in mobile robots has many issues for image analysis problems with neighboring elements in dynamic environments. SURF(Speeded Up Robust Features) is the local feature extraction method of the image and its performance is constant even if disturbances, such as lighting, scale change and rotation, exist. However, it has a difficulty of real-time processing caused by representation of high dimensional vectors. To solve th problem, execution of SURF in GPU(Graphics Processing Unit) is proposed and implemented using CUDA of NVIDIA. Comparisons of recognition rates and processing time for SURF between CPU and GPU by variation of robot velocity and image sizes is experimented.

Recognition of sign language is challenging due to the occlusion of hands, accuracy of hand gestures, and high computational costs. In recent years, deep learning techniques have made significant advances in this field. Although these methods are larger and more complex, they cannot manage long-term sequential data and lack the ability to capture useful information through efficient information processing with faster convergence. In order to overcome these challenges, we propose a word-level sign language recognition (SLR) system that combines a real-time human pose detection library with the minimized version of the gated recurrent unit (GRU) model. Each gate unit is optimized by discarding the depth-weighted reset gate in GRU cells and considering only current input. Furthermore, we use sigmoid rather than hyperbolic tangent activation in standard GRUs due to performance loss associated with the former in deeper networks. Experimental results demonstrate that our pose-based optimized GRU (Pose-OGRU) outperforms the standard GRU model in terms of prediction accuracy, convergency, and information processing capability.

In this paper, we propose an study of the facial emotion recognition considering the dynamical variation of emotional state in facial image sequences. The proposed system consists of two main step: facial image based emotional feature extraction and emotional state classification/recognition. At first, we propose a method for extracting and analyzing the emotional feature region using a combination of Active Shape Model (ASM) and Facial Action Units (FAUs). And then, it is proposed that emotional state classification and recognition method based on Hidden Markov Model (HMM) type of dynamic Bayesian network. Also, we adopt a Harmony Search (HS) algorithm based heuristic optimization procedure in a parameter learning of HMM in order to classify the emotional state more accurately. By using all these methods, we construct the emotion recognition system based on variations of the dynamic facial image sequence and make an attempt at improvement of the recognition performance.

Two chiral stationary phases (CSPs) derived from two diastereomers consisting of (R)- or(S)-α-naphthylethylamine and (S)-naproxen were found to show different chromatographic behaviors in resolving N-(3,5-dinitrobenzoyl)-α-arylalkylamines and N-(3,5-dinitrobenzoyl)-α- or β-amino amides and esters. From the different chromatographic resolution behaviors on the two CSPs, the chiral recognition is proposed to be controlled mainly by the (R)- or (S)-α-naphthylethylamine part of the CSP. In contrast, the (S)-naproxen part of the two CSPs is proposed to exert some subordinate effects on the chiral recognition.

This paper is a study on the implementation of speech recognition mobile robot to which the interactive speech recognition techniques is applied. The speech command uttered the sentential connected word and is asserted through the wireless mic system. This speech signal transferred LPC-cepstrum and shorttime energy which are computed from the received signal on the DSP board to notebook PC. In notebook PC, DP matching technique is used for recognizer and the recognition results are transferred to the motor control unit which output pulse signals corresponding to the recognized command and drive the stepping motor. Grammar network applied to reduce the recognition speed of the recogniger, so that real time recognition is realized. The misrecognized command is revised by interface revision through the conversation with mobile robot. Therefore, user can move the mobile robot to the direction which user wants.

Face recognition technologies using PCA(principal component analysis) recognize faces by deciding representative features of faces in the model image, extracting feature vectors from faces in a image and measuring the distance between them and face representation. Given frequent recognition problems associated with the use of point-to-point distance approach, this study adopted the K-nearest neighbor technique(class-to-class) in which a group of face models of the same class is used as recognition unit for the images inputted on a continual input image. This paper proposes a new PCA recognition in which database of faces.

Korean has a large set of characters, and has a two-dimensional formation: each character is composed of graphemes in two dimensions. Whereas connections between characters are rare, connections inside a grapheme and between graphemes happen frequently and these connections generate many cursive strokes. To deal with the large character set and the cursive strokes, using the graphemes as a recognition unit is an efffective approach, because it naturally accommodates the structural characteristics of the characters. In this paper, we propose a grapheme-based on-line recognition method for cursive korean characters. Our method uses a TDNN recognition engine to segment cursive strokes into graphemes and a graph-algorithmic postprocessor based on korean grapheme composition rule and viterbi search algorithm to find the best recognition score path. We experimented the method on freely hand-written charactes and obtained a recognition rate of 94.5%.

A methodology based on the concept of variable string length GA(VGA) is developed for determining automatically the number of hyperplanes and their appropriate arrangement for modeling the class boundaries of a given training data set in RN. The genetic operators and fitness functionare newly defined to take care of the variability in chromosome length. Experimental results on different artificial and real life data sets are provided.

We propose a hand gesture recognition method that is compatible with a head-up display (HUD) including small processing resource. For fast link adaptation with HUD, it is necessary to rapidly process gesture recognition and send the minimum amount of driver hand gesture data from the wearable device. Therefore, we use a method that recognizes each hand gesture with an inertial measurement unit (IMU) sensor based on revised correlation matching. The method of gesture recognition is executed by calculating the correlation between every axis of the acquired data set. By classifying pre-defined gesture values and actions, the proposed method enables rapid recognition. Furthermore, we evaluate the performance of the algorithm, which can be implanted within wearable bands, requiring a minimal process load. The experimental results evaluated the feasibility and effectiveness of our decomposed correlation matching method. Furthermore, we tested the proposed algorithm to confirm the effectiveness of the system using pre-defined gestures of specific motions with a wearable platform device. The experimental results validated the feasibility and effectiveness of the proposed hand gesture recognition system. Despite being based on a very simple concept, the proposed algorithm showed good performance in recognition accuracy.
