In this paper, a novel implementation of a person verification system based on depth-weighted Hausdorff distance (DWHD) using the surface curvature of the face is proposed. The definition of Hausdorff distance is a measure of the correspondence of two point sets. The approach works by finding the nose tip that has a protrusion shape on the face. In feature recognition of 3D face image, one has to take into consideration the orientated frontal posture to normalize after extracting face area from original image. The binary images are extracted by using the threshold values for the curvature value of surface for the person which has differential depth and surface characteristic information. The proposed DWHD measure for comparing two pixel sets were used, because it is simple and robust. In the experimental results, the minimum curvature which has low pixel distribution achieves recognition rate of 98% among the proposed methods.

A new practical implementation of a facial verification system using cumulative histogram of surface curvatures for the local and contour line areas is proposed, in this paper. The approach works by finding the nose tip that has a protrusion shape on the face. In feature recognition of 3D face images, one has to take into consideration the orientated frontal posture to normalize after extracting face area from the original image. The feature vectors are extracted by using the cumulative histogram which is calculated from the curvature of surface for the contour line areas: 20, 30 and 40, and nose, mouth and eyes regions, which has depth and surface characteristic information. The L1 measure for comparing two feature vectors were used, because it was simple and robust. In the experimental results, the maximum curvature achieved recognition rate of 96% among the proposed methods.

The range image is divided into surface regions which are homogeneous in their intrinsic properties. In this paper, we use cooperative relaxational algorithm between curvatures to escape local minima and choose optimal possibility to reserve edge. Cooperative relaxational algorithm between curvatures is relaxation process in which weights of center pixel;s and neighbor pixel's possiblility are determined adaptively by using deviation of curvatures. Experimental resutls show that the proposed method segments and classifies the range images more accurately compared to the other relational algorithms.

본 논문에서는 3차원 메쉬 모델의 중요 영역을 표현하는 메쉬 돌출맵(mesh saliency map)을 생성하기 위하여 다중 스케일 평균 곡률 (multi-scale mean curvature)을 기반으로 정의된 전역 희소치(global rarity)를 이용하는 방법을 제안한다. 제안 방법에서는 우선, 메쉬 모델의 지역 영역 특성을 정의하기 위하여 기존 관련 연구들에서 많이 사용하고 있는 가우시안 가중치 평균곡률(Gaussian-weighted mean curvature)을 5단계 서로 다른 스케일에서 정의하고, 메쉬의 각 정점(vertex)에 대하여 중심주변 연산자(center-surround operator)를 적용하여 5단계 지역 돌출특성(local saliency)을 정의한다. 주어진 메쉬 모델의 전역 희소치를 구하기 위하여 메쉬의 모든 정점쌍 (vertex pair)에 대하여 5단계 지역 돌출 특성 공간에서의 거리를 계산하고, 각 정점별로 5단계 지역 돌출 특성 공간에서의 다른 정점과의 거리의 합으로 전역 희소치를 정의한다. 이러한 전역 희소치를 각 정점의 메쉬 돌출치로 정의한다. 서로 다른 형태의 3차원 모델에 대하여 제안방법에 의한 메쉬 돌출맵과 지역 특성만을 고려한 기존 메쉬 돌출맵을 생성하여 중요 영역 표현 결과를 비교 분석한다.

The surface curvatures extracted from the face contain the most important personal facial information. In particular, the face shape using the depth information represents personal features in detail. In this paper, we develop a method for recognizing the range face images by combining the multiple face regions using fuzzy integral. For the proposed approach, the first step tries to find the nose tip that has a protrusion shape on the face from the extracted face area and has to take into consideration of the orientated frontal posture to normalize. Multiple areas are extracted by the depth threshold values from reference point, nose tip. And then, we calculate the curvature features: principal curvature, gaussian curvature, and mean curvature for each region. The second step of approach concerns the application of eigenface and Linear Discriminant Analysis(LDA) method to reduce the dimension and classify. In the last step, the aggregation of the individual classifiers using the fuzzy integral is explained for each region. In the experimental results, using the depth threshold value 40 (DT40) show the highest recognition rate among the regions, and the maximum curvature achieves 98% recognition rate, incase of fuzzy integral.

Manufacturing the complex surface plates in Stern and Stem is major factor in computing the processing cost of a ship. If these parts are effectively classified, it helps to compute the processing cost and find the way of cut-down on the processing costs. This study is intended to effectively classify surface plates. To solve this problem, we apply Pattern Classification of Neural-Networks.

This article is concerned with container pose estimation using CCD a camera and a range sensor. In particular, the issues of characteristic point extraction and image noise reduction are described. The Euler-Lagrange equation for gaussian and random noise reduction is introduced. The alternating direction implicit(ADI) method for solving Euler-Lagrange equation based on partial differential equation(PDE) is applied. The vertex points as characteristic points of a container and a spreader are founded using k order curvature calculation algorithm since the golden and the bisection section algorithm can't solve the local minimum and maximum problems. The proposed algorithm in image preprocess is effective in image denoise. Furthermore, this proposed system using a camera and a range sensor is very low price since the previous system can be used without reconstruction.
