We found a diffuse Hα feature with a large size of ~2' around a Herbig star, MWC 1080. It shows a strong correlation with the elongated outflow cavity centered on the star. To investigate the diffuse Hα source and the molecular cavity in detail, we carried out the high-resolution NIR spectroscopy using IGRINS. We detected six hydrogen Brackett line series, seven H2 lines, and an [Fe II] forbidden line. With the obtained spatial, kinematic, and line ratio results, we discuss the characteristics of the central MWC 1080A, the NE outflow cavity, and the SE molecular cloud regions separately. Most of the bright Brγ sources around MWC 1080A were found to be reflection nebulae, but a point-like Brγ source close to another young star, MWC 1080E, was identified as a distinct source due to MWC 1080E itself. The narrow components of the H2 lines observed around MWC 1080A were found to trace PDRs located on the wall of the main outflow cavity. Based on the shock-excited H2 and [Fe II] lines detected just inside a bow-shock shape Hα feature, we suggest that it represents the actual shock at the head of the NE outflow from MWC 1080A. Also, we newly detected the shock-excited H2 and [Fe II] lines with highly blueshifted velocities in the SE molecular cloud region. They could be related to unrevealed outflows from other young stars existing around MWC 1080A.

A reliable wind speed forecasting method is crucial for the applications in wind engineering. In this study, the generalized S-transform (GST) is innovatively applied for wind speed forecasting to uncover the time-frequency characteristics in the non-stationary wind speed data. The improved grey wolf optimizer (IGWO) is employed to optimize the adjustable parameters of GST to obtain the best time-frequency resolution. Then a hybrid method based on IGWO-optimized GST is proposed to validate the effectiveness and superiority for multi-step non-stationary wind speed forecasting. The historical wind speed is chosen as the first input feature, while the dynamic time-frequency characteristics obtained by IGWO-optimized GST are chosen as the second input feature. Comparative experiment with six competitors is conducted to demonstrate the best performance of the proposed method in terms of prediction accuracy and stability. The superiority of the GST compared to other time-frequency analysis methods is also discussed by another experiment. It can be concluded that the introduction of IGWO-optimized GST can deeply exploit the time-frequency characteristics and effectively improving the prediction accuracy.

We propose an efficient block classification of the document images using the second-order statistical texture features computed from spatial gray level dependence matrix (SGLDM). We studied on the techniques that will improve the block speed of the segmentation and feature extraction speed and the accuracy of the detailed classification. In order to speedup the block segmentation, we binarize the gray level image and then segmented by applying smoothing method instead of using texture features of gray level images. We extracted seven texture features from the SGLDM of the gray image blocks and we applied these normalized features to the BP (backpropagation) neural network, and classified the segmented blocks into the six detailed block categories of small font, medium font, large font, graphic, table, and photo blocks. Unlike the conventional texture classification of the gray level image in aerial terrain photos, we improve the classification speed by a single application of the texture discrimination mask, the size of which Is the same as that of each block already segmented in obtaining the SGLDM.

In this paper, adaptive Facial Emotional Recognition system based on Gabor Wavelet Neural Network, considering six feature Points in face image to extract specific features of facial expression, is proposed. Levenberg-Marquardt-based training methodology is used to formulate initial network, including feature extraction stage. Therefore, heuristics in determining feature extraction process can be excluded. Moreover, to make an adaptive network for new user, Q-learning which has enhanced reward function and unsupervised fuzzy neural network model are used. Q-learning enables the system to ge optimal Gabor filters' sets which are capable of obtaining separable features, and Fuzzy Neural Network enables it to adapt to the user's change. Therefore, proposed system has a good on-line adaptation capability, meaning that it can trace the change of user's face continuously.

In this study, based on the analysis of texture feature values of statistical properties. And we examined the normal and the applicability of the computer-aided diagnosis of cerebral infarction in the brain computed tomography images. The experiment was analyzed to evaluate the ROC curve recognition rate of disease using six parameters representing the feature values of the texture. As a result, it showed average mean 88%, variance 92%, relative smoothness 94%, uniformity of 88%, a high disease recognition rate of entropy 84%. However, it showed a slightly lower disease recognition rate and 58% for skewness. In the analysis using ROC curve, the area under the curve for each parameter indicates 0.886 (p = 0.0001) or more, resulted in a meaningful recognition of the disease. Further, to determine the cut-off values for each parameter are determined to be the prediction of disease through the computer-aided diagnosis.

Automatic fall-detection algorithms using video-data are proposed. Six types of fall-feature parameters are defined applying the optical flows extracted from differential images to principal component analysis(PCA). One fall-detection algorithm is the simple threshold method that a fall is detected when a fall-feature parameter is over a threshold, another is to use the HMM, and the other is to combine the simple threshold and HMM. Comparing the performances of three types of fall-detection algorithm, the algorithm combining the simple threshold and HMM requires less computational resources than HMM and exhibits a higher accuracy than the simple threshold method.

This paper proposes an automatic facial expression generation system of vector graphic character using gaussian process model. Proposed method extracts the main feature vectors from twenty-six facial data of character redefined based on Russell's internal emotion state. Also by using new gaussian process model, SGPLVM, we find low-dimensional feature data from extracted high-dimensional feature vectors, and learn probability distribution function (PDF). All parameters of PDF are estimated by maximization the likelihood of learned expression data, and these are used to select wanted facial expressions on two-dimensional space in real time. As a result of simulation, we confirm that proposed facial expression generation tool is working in the small facial expression datasets and can generate various facial expressions without prior knowledge about relation between facial expression and emotion.

The Brightness, color and texture included in a multispectral satellite data are used as important factors to analyze and to apply the image data for a proper use. One of the most significant process in the satellite data analysis using texture or color information is to extract features effectively expressing the information of original image. It was described in this paper that six features were introduced to extract useful features from the analysis of the satellite data, and also a classification network using the back-propagation neural network was constructed to evaluate the classification ability of each vector feature in SPOT imagery. The vector features were adopted from the training set selection for the interesting region, and applied to the classification process. The classification results showed that each vector feature contained many merits and demerits depending on each vector's characteristics, and each vector had compatible classification ability. Therefore, it is expected that the color and texture features are effectively used not only in the classification process of satellite imagery, but in various image classification and application fields.

This study aimed to propose an accurate diagnostic method for osteoporosis by realizing a computer-aided diagnosis system with the application of the statistical analysis of texture features using digital images of lateral lumbar spine of patients with osteoporosis and providing reliable supplementary diagnostic information by model experimental research for early diagnosis of diseases. For these purposes, digital images of lateral lumbar spine of normal individuals and patients with osteoporosis were used in the experiments, and the values of statistical texture features on the set ROI were expressed in six parameters. Among the texture feature values of the six parameters of osteoporosis, the highest and lowest recognition rates of 95 and 80% were shown in average gray level and uniformity, respectively. Moreover, all the six parameters showed recognition rates of over 80% for osteoporosis: 82.5% in average contrast, 90% in smoothness, 87.5% in skewness, and 87.5% in entropy. Therefore, if a program developing into a computer-aided diagnosis system for medical images is coded based on the results of this study, it is considered possible to be applied to preliminary diagnostic data for automatic detection of lesions and disease diagnosis using medical images, to provide information for definite diagnosis of diseases, to diagnose by limited device, and to be used to shorten the time to analyze medical images.
