This paper presents a method for designing circular template used in similarity measurement for image registration. Circular template has translation and rotation invariant property, which results in correct matching of control points for image registration under the condition of translation and rotation between reference and sensed images. Circular template consisting of the pixels located on the multiple circumferences of the circles whose radii vary from zero to a certain distance, is converted to two-dimensional Discrete Polar Coordinate Matrix (DPCM), whose elements are the pixels of the circular template. For sensed image, the same type of circular template and DPCM are created by rotating the circular template repeatedly by a certain degree in the range between 0 and 360 degrees and then similarity is calculated using mutual information of the two DPCMs. The best match is determined when the mutual information for each rotation angle at each pixel in search area is maximum. The proposed algorithm was tested using KOMPSAT-2 images acquired at two different times and the results indicate high accurate matching performance under image rotation.

This study developed a new distance metric for vessel trajectories, applicable to marine traffic control services in the Korean coastal waters. The proposed metric is designed through the weighted summation of the traditional Hausdorff distance, which measures the similarity between spatiotemporal data and incorporates the differences in the average Speed Over Ground (SOG) and the variance in Course Over Ground (COG) between two trajectories. To validate the effectiveness of this new metric, a comparative analysis was conducted using the actual Automatic Identification System (AIS) trajectory data, in conjunction with an agglomerative clustering algorithm. Data visualizations were used to confirm that the results of trajectory clustering, with the new metric, reflect geographical distances and the distribution of vessel behavioral characteristics more accurately, than conventional metrics such as the Hausdorff distance and Dynamic Time Warping distance. Quantitatively, based on the Davies-Bouldin index, the clustering results were found to be superior or comparable and demonstrated exceptional efficiency in computational distance calculation.

In this paper, we propose a new technique of codification. The purpose of this method is to take in consideration the natural language nuances and the fuzziness that characterizes the human reasoning. So, we warranted a means of more flexible encoding that translates as well the linguistic descriptions. Its principle is simple and intuitive. It consists simply in replacing in ambiguous cases, a unique number by an interval. The introduction of the new codification necessitates the elaboration of metric or similarity in order to compare two intervals. This comparison must take in consideration the difference of their size, the remoteness of their center and the width of their intersection. In consequence, we defined three new fuzzy concepts : "fuzzy inclusion degree", "fuzzy resemblance degree," and " fuzzy curve".

3차원 형상 모델의 비교 연구는 의학, 분자 생물학, 컴퓨터 그래픽스 등의 분야에서 다루게 되는 기본적인 문제들 중의 하나이다. 본 논문에서는 3차원 형상 모델간의 유사성을 측정하기 위한 방법을 제안한다. 본 시스템은 삼각형 메쉬 모델을 유사성 평가에 사용한다. 유사성 비교를 위해 실루엣 영상을 이용하고, 유사 점도의 계산을 위한 측도(metric)로는 부피(Volume), 곡률(Curvature), 직선거리(Euclidean Distance)를 사용한다. 또한 다양한 방식에 의해 획득된 형상 모델의 비교를 위하여 먼저 포즈 정규화(Pose Normalization)를 한 후 유사성 평가 작업을 수행한다. 본 논문에서 제시한 3차원 형상 비교 시스템은 형상 비교대상들에 대한 전체 변형 및 부분 변형, 그리고 회전등에 강인함을 보였다.

본 논문에서는 여러 가지 클러스터링 기법들을 사용하여 키워드 유사도롤 순위화하여 사용자의 질의를 확장하는 기법을 제안한다. 클러스터링 기법에는 연관(Association) 클러스터링, 메트릭(Metric) 클러스터링, 스칼라(Scalar) 클러스터링 기법을 사용하고, 이들간의 가중치를 적절히 조절하여 검색 시스템을 만든다. 사용자의 질의가 주어졌을 때, 질의 키워드와 연관된 키워드들을 순위화 하여 사용자에게 보여주고, 사용자의 추가입력을 받아서 질의를 확장한다. 사용자가 적당한 질의어로 판단하여 확장된 질의로 검색을 수행할 때까지 이 과정을 반복한다. 실험에서 사용한 문헌집합은 Korea Herald의 2003년 1월과 2월의 경제 관련 기사들을 수집하여 사용하였고, 실험을 거쳐서 질의를 확장한 결과 만족할 만한 결과가 도출되었다.

Superpixel methods are widely used in the preprocessing stage as a method to reduce computational complexity by simplifying images while maintaining the characteristics of the images in the computer vision applications. It is common to generate superpixels of similar size and shape based on the pixel values rather than considering the characteristics of the image. In this paper, we propose a method to control the sizes and shapes of generated superpixels, considering the contents of an image. The proposed method consists of two steps. The first step is to over-segment an image so that the boundary information of the image is well preserved. In the second step, generated superpixels are merged based on similarity to produce the target number of superpixels, where the shapes of superpixels are controlled by limiting the maximum size and the proposed roundness metric. Experimental results show that the proposed method preserves the boundaries of the objects in an image more accurately than the existing method.

The purpose of this paper is to propose a securely personalized context-aware cooperative query that supports a multi-level data abstraction hierarchy and conceptual distance metric among data values, while considering privacy concerns around user context awareness. The conceptual distance expresses a semantic similarity among data values with a quantitative measure, and thus the conceptual distance enables query results to be ranked. To show the feasibility of the methodology proposed in this paper we have implemented a prototype system in the area of site search in a large-scale shopping mall.

In Taguchi's quadratic expected loss function used as robustness metric of performance characteristics, the mean and variance contributions are confounded. The consolidation of the mean and variance in the expected loss function may not always be the ideal approach. This paper presents a procedure for multi-attributes design optimization, where the mean and variance of performance characteristics are considered as separate attributes having designer's relative preferences for them and Technique for Order Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution(TOPSIS) is introduced to attain robust optimal design. The effectiveness of proposed approach is shown with an example of a weld line minimization problem in the injection molding process.

In an effort to enhance the quality of feature vector classification and thereby reduce the recognition error rate of the speaker-independent speech recognition, we employ the Mahalanobis distance in the calculation of the similarity measure between feature vectors. It is assumed that the metric matrix of the Mahalanobis distance be diagonal for the sake of cost reduction in memory and time of calculation. We propose that the diagonal elements be given in terms of the variations of the feature vector components. Geometrically, this prescription tends to redistribute the set of data in the shape of a hypersphere in the feature vector space. The idea is applied to the speech recognition by hidden Markov model with fuzzy vector quantization. The result shows that the recognition is improved by an appropriate choice of the relevant adjustable parameter. The Viterbi score difference of the two winners in the recognition test shows that the general behavior is in accord with that of the recognition error rate.

Social network has been expected to increase the value of social capital through online user interactions which remove geographical boundary. However, online users in social networks face challenges of assessing whether the anonymous user and his/her providing information are reliable or not because of limited experiences with a small number of users. Therefore. it is vital to provide a successful trust model which builds and maintains a web of trust. This study aims to propose a prediction method for the interpersonal trust which measures the level of trust about information provider in Facebook. To develop the prediction method. we first investigated behavioral research for trust in social science and extracted 5 antecedents of trust : lenience, ability, steadiness, intimacy, and similarity. Then we measured the antecedents from the history of interactive behavior and built prediction models using the two decision trees and a computational model. We also applied the proposed method to predict interpersonal trust between Facebook users and evaluated the prediction accuracy. The predicted trust metric has dynamic feature which can be adjusted over time according to the interaction between two users.
