Multimodal biometric-based recognition has been an active topic because of its higher convenience in recent years. Due to high user convenience of finger, finger-based personal identification has been widely used in practice. Hence, taking Finger-Print (FP), Finger-Vein (FV) and Finger-Knuckle-Print (FKP) as the ingredients of characteristic, their feature representation were helpful for improving the universality and reliability in identification. To usefully fuse the multimodal finger-features together, a new robust representation algorithm was proposed based on hierarchical model. Firstly, to obtain more robust features, the feature maps were obtained by Gabor magnitude feature coding and then described by Local Binary Pattern (LBP). Secondly, the LGBP-based feature maps were processed hierarchically in bottom-up mode by variable rectangle and circle granules, respectively. Finally, the intension of each granule was represented by Local-invariant Gray Features (LGFs) and called Hierarchical Local-Gabor-based Gray Invariant Features (HLGGIFs). Experiment results revealed that the proposed algorithm is capable of improving rotation variation of finger-pose, and achieving lower Equal Error Rate (EER) in our homemade database.

There are no authentic solutions in a face region extraction problem though it is an important part of pattern recognition and has diverse application fields. It is not easy to develop the facial region extraction algorithm because the facial image is very sensitive according to age, sex, and illumination. In this paper, to solve these difficulties, a fuzzy color filer based on the facial region extraction algorithm is proposed. The fuzzy color filter makes the robust facial region extraction enable by modeling the skin color. Especially, it is robust in facial region extraction with various illuminations. In addition, to identify the fuzzy color filter, a linear matrix inequality(LMI) optimization method is used. Finally, the simulation result is given to confirm the superiority of the proposed algorithm.

To avoid influences caused by pose, illumination and facial expression variations, we propose a robust three-step algorithm based on ASM and POEM for facial landmark localization. Firstly, Model Selection Factor is utilized to achieve a pose-free initialized shape. Then, we use the global shape model of ASM to describe the whole face and the texture model POEM to adjust the position of each landmark. Thirdly, a second localization is presented to discriminatively refine the subtle shape variation for some organs and contours. Experiments are conducted in four main face datasets, and the results demonstrate that the proposed method accurately localizes facial landmarks and outperforms other state-of-the-art methods.

In the most of speaker recognition system, speaker's characteristics is extracted from acoustic parameter by speech analysis and we make speaker's reference pattern. Parameters used in speaker recognition system are desirable expressing speaker's characteristics fully and being a few difference whenever it is spoken. Therefore we su99est following to solve this problem. This paper is proposed to use strong spectrum characteristic in non-noise circumstance and prosodic information in noise circumstance. In a stage of making code book, we make the number of data we need to combine spectrum characteristic and Prosodic information. We decide acceptance or rejection comparing test pattern and each model distance. As a result, we obtained more improved recognition rate than we use spectrum and prosodic information especially we obtained stational recognition rate in noise circumstance.

In this paper, we studied design and implementation of a robust speech recognition system in noisy car environment. The reference pattern used in the system is DMS(Dynamic Multi-Section). Two separate acoustic models, which are selected automatically depending on the noisy car environment for the speech in a car moving at below 80km/h and over 80km/h are proposed. PLP(Perceptual Linear Predictive) of order 13 is used for the feature vector and OSDP (One-Stage Dynamic Programming) is used for decoding. The system also has the function of editing the phone-book for voice dialing. The system yields a recognition rate of 89.75% for male speakers in SI (speaker independent) mode in a car running on a cemented express way at over 80km/h with a vocabulary of 33 words. The system also yields a recognition rate of 92.29% for male speakers in SI mode in a car running on a paved express way at over 80km/h.

This paper proposes an efficient method for automatically distinguishing various facial expressions. To recognize the emotions from facial expressions, the facial images are obtained by digital cameras, and a number of feature points were extracted. The extracted feature points are then transformed to 49-dimensional feature vectors which are robust to scale and translational variations, and the facial emotions are recognized by statistical pattern classifiers such Naive Bayes, MLP (multi-layer perceptron), and SVM (support vector machine). Based on the experimental results with 5-fold cross validation, SVM was the best among the classifiers, whose performance was obtained by 50.8% for 6 emotion classification, and 78.0% for 3 emotions.

Recognition of numeral fields is a very important task for many document automation applications. Conventional methods are based on the two-steps process, segmentation of touching numerals and recognition of the individual numerals. However, due to a large variation of touching types this approach has not produced a robust result. In this paper, we present a new segmentation-free method for recognizing the two touching numerals. In this approach, two touching numerals are regarded as a single pattern coming from 100 classes ('00', '01', '02', ..., '98', '99'). For the test set, we manually extract two touching numerals from the data set of NIST numeral fields. Due to the limitation of conventional neural network in case of large-set classification, we use a modular neural network and Drove its superiority through recognition experimen.

Behavior of intelligent video surveillance system is recognized by analyzing the pattern of the object of interest by using the frame information of video inputted from the camera and analyzes the behavior. Detection of object's certain behaviors in the crowd has become a critical problem because in the event of terror strikes. Recognition of object's certain behaviors is an important but difficult problem in the area of computer vision. As the realization of big data utilizing machine learning, data mining techniques, the amount of video through the CCTV, Smart-phone and Drone's video has increased dramatically. In this paper, we propose a multiple-sliding window method to recognize the cumulative change as one piece in order to improve the accuracy of the recognition. The experimental results demonstrated the method was robust and efficient learning units in the classification of certain behaviors.

Interests in face recognition area have been increasing due to diverse emerging applications. Face recognition algorithm from a two-dimensional source could be challenging in dealing with some circumstances such as face orientation, illuminance degree, face details such as with/without glasses and various expressions, like, smiling or crying. Hopfield Network capabilities have been used specially within the areas of recalling patterns, generalizations, familiarity recognitions and error corrections. Based on those abilities, a specific experimentation is conducted in this paper to apply the Redundant Parallel Hopfield Network on a face recognition problem. This new design has been experimentally confirmed and tested to be robust in any kind of practical situations.

Most neural network learning schemes are derived from learning systems which are generally iterative in nature. But, when the given input-output training vector pairs satisfy a PLI condition, the training and the application of a hard-limited neural network can be achieved non-iteratively with very short training time and very robust recognition when it is applied to recognize any untrained patterns. In this paper, a method of expanding the dimension of training pattern data is suggested. The proposed method demonstrates better performance and robustness.
