In this paper, for recognize a night pedestrian from an infrared video, a new method differentiated from the existing feature vector is proposed and experimented. The new approach focuses on the shape feature vector of the structure and shape of the pedestrian image divided by the human body seven split ratio. The pedestrian images are divided into 7 square blocks from the still image of the preprocessing process. And to reduce the dimension, the square block is converted into a mosaic block. The scalar and direction of the shape feature vector is calculated by the brightness and position of the element in the mosaic. For practicality of infrared video system, the proposed method simplifies the data to be processed by reducing the amount of data in the preprocessing in order to continuously batch process the entire system in real time. Through the experiments, we verified the validity of the proposed shape feature vector. In comparison to the existing method, we propose a new shape feature vector generation method as the feature vector for night pedestrian recognition.

Purpose In the many face-related application such as head pose estimation, 3D face modeling, facial appearance manipulation, the robust and fast facial feature extraction is necessary. We present the facial feature extraction method based on shape regression and feature selection for real-time facial feature extraction. Materials and Methods The facial features are initialized by statistical shape model and then the shape of facial features are deformed iteratively according to the texture pattern which is selected on the feature pool. Results We obtain fast and robust facial feature extraction result with error less than 4% and processing time less than 12 ms. The alignment error is measured by average of ratio of pixel difference to inter-ocular distance. Conclusion The accuracy and processing time of the method is enough to apply facial feature based application and can be used on the face beautification or 3D face modeling.

Recently, several nonlinear shape normalization methods have been proposed in order to compensate for the shape distortions in handwritten characters. In this paper, we review these nonlinear shape normalization methods from the two points of view : feature projection and feature density equalization. The former makes feature projection histogram by projecting a certain feature at each point of input image into horizontal-or vertical-axis and the latter equalizes the feature densities of input image by re-sampling the feature projection histogram. A systematic comparison of these methods has been made based on the following criteria: recognition rate, processing speed, computational complexity and measure of variation. Then, we present the result of quantitative evaluation of each method based on these criteria for a large variety of handwritten Hangul syllables.

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.

This study develops an algorithm that automatically performs reverse engineering on three-dimensional (3D) sweeping shapes using a user's pre-defined feature templates and 3D point cloud data (PCD) of sweeping shapes. Existing methods extract 3D sweeping shapes by extracting points on a PCD cross section together with the center point in order to perform curve fitting and connect the center points. However, a drawback of existing methods is the difficulty of creating a 3D sweeping shape in which the user's preferred feature center points and parameters are applied. This study extracts shape features from cross-sectional points extracted automatically from the PCD and compared with pre-defined feature templates for similarities, thereby acquiring the most similar template cross-section. Fitting the most similar template cross-section to sweeping shape modeling makes the reverse engineering process automatic.

A fuzzy weighted mean method on a 2D shape recognition system is introduced in this paper. The bispectrum based on third order cumulant is applied to the contour sequence of each image for the extraction of a feature vector. This bispectral feature vector, which is invariant to shape translation, rotation and scale, represents a 2D planar image. However, to obtain the best performance, it should be considered certain criterion on the calculation of weights for the fuzzy weighted mean method. Therefore, a new method to calculate weights using means by differences of feature values and their variances with the maximum distance from differences of feature values. is developed. In the experiments, the recognition results with fifteen dimensional bispectral feature vectors, which are extracted from 11.808 aircraft images based on eight different styles of reference images, are compared and analyzed.

이 논문의 주요 목적은 내용을 기반으로 하는 이미지 검색에서 이미지 객체의 외형특징을 추출하는 방법을 제시하는 것이다. 대부분의 실질적인 객체들의 외형은 불규칙적이고, 이러한 객체를 수치화하기위한 일반적인 방법은 없다. 특히 전자 카타로그들은 상품들을 나타내는 많은 이미지를 포함하고 있다. 이 논문에서는 이미지 전체가 아닌 이미지내의 개별 객체들을 기반으로 특징을 추출하는 방법을 제시한다. 왜냐하면 제시된 방법은 한 이미지내에서 RLC lines을 사용하여 각 객체들의 외형을 기반으로하는 방법을 사용하기 때문이다. 실험결과는 일반적으로 가장 많이 사용하는 특징인 Texture와 비교를 했고 제시된 외형을 나타내는 변수들이 전자카타로그의 이미지 객체들을 뚜렷하게 나타냈고, 보다 정확하게 객체들을 분류하고 구별하였다.

In this paper, we propose a new affine shape adaptation scheme for the affine invariant feature detector, in which the convergence stability is still an opening problem. This paper examines the relation between the integration scale matrix of next iteration and the current second moment matrix and finds that the convergence stability of the method can be improved by adjusting the relation between the two matrices instead of keeping them always proportional as proposed by previous methods. By estimating and updating the shape of the integration kernel and differentiation kernel in each iteration based on the anisotropy of the current second moment matrix, we propose a coarse-to-fine affine shape adaptation scheme which is able to adjust the pace of convergence and enable the process to converge smoothly. The feature matching experiments demonstrate that the proposed approach obtains an improvement in convergence ratio and repeatability compared with the current schemes with relatively fixed integration kernel.

Topographical images, in case of aerial or satellite images, are usually similar in colors and textures, and complex in shapes. Thus we have to use shape features of images for efficiently retrieving a query image from topographical image databases. In this paper, we propose a shape feature extraction method which is suitable for topographical images. This method, which improves the existing projection in the Cartesian coordinates, performs the projection operation in the polar coordinates. This method extracts three attributes, namely the number of region pixels, the boundary pixel length of the region from the centroid, the number of alternations between region and background, along each angular direction of the polar coordinates. It extracts the features of complex shape objects which may have holes and disconnected regions. An advantage of our method is that it is invariant to rotation/scale/translation of images. Finally we show the advantages of our method through experiments by comparing it with CSS which is one of the most successful methods in the area of shape feature extraction
