This paper presents a scale and rotation-invariant gait recognition method using R-transform, which is computed by projecting squared coefficients of Radon transform. Since R-transform is invariant to translation, rotation, and scaling, it particularly suitable for extracting object poses without camera calibration. Coefficients of R-transform are used to compute correlation, and the maximum correlation value determines the similarity between two gait images. The proposed method requires neither camera calibration nor geometric compensation, and as a result, it makes robust gait recognition possible without additional compensation for translation, rotation, and scaling.

In this paper, we propose a place modeling based on the distribution of scale-invariant features, and a place recognition method that recognizes places by comparing the place model in a database with the extracted features from input data. The proposed method is based on the assumption that every place can be represented by unique feature distributions that are distinguishable from others. The proposed method uses global information of each place where one place is represented by one distribution model. Therefore, the main contribution of the proposed method is that the time cost corresponding to the increase of the number of places grows linearly without increasing exponentially. For the performance evaluation of the proposed method, the different number of frames and the different number of features are used, respectively. Empirical results illustrate that our approach achieves better performance in space and time cost comparing to other approaches. We expect that the Proposed method is applicable to many ubiquitous systems such as robot navigation, vision system for blind people, wearable computing, and so on.

In this paper, we propose an effective method for recognizing daily human activities from a stream of three dimensional body poses, which can be obtained by using Kinect-like RGB-D sensors. The body pose data provided by Kinect SDK or OpenNI may suffer from both the view variance problem and the scale variance problem, since they are represented in the 3D Cartesian coordinate system, the origin of which is located on the center of Kinect. In order to resolve the problem and get the view-invariant and scale-invariant features, we transform the pose data into the spherical coordinate system of which the origin is placed on the center of the subject's hip, and then perform on them the scale normalization using the length of the subject's arm. In order to represent effectively complex internal structures of high-level daily activities, we utilize Hidden state Conditional Random Field (HCRF), which is one of probabilistic graphical models. Through various experiments using two different datasets, KAD-70 and CAD-60, we showed the high performance of our method and the implementation system.

Shadow is a common phenomenon observed in natural scenes, but it has a negative influence on image analysis such as object recognition, feature detection and scene analysis. Therefore, the process of detecting and removing shadows included in digital images must be considered as a pre-processing process of image analysis. In this paper, the existing methods for acquiring 1D invariant images, one of the feature elements for detecting and removing shadows contained in a single natural image, are described, and a method for obtaining 1D invariant images based on linear regression has been proposed. The proposed method calculates the log of the band-ratio between each channel of the RGB color image, and obtains the grayscale image line by linear regression. The final 1D invariant images were obtained by projecting the log image of the band-ratio onto the estimated grayscale image line. Experimental results show that the proposed method has lower computational complexity than the existing projection method using entropy minimization, and shadow detection and removal based on 1D invariant images are performed effectively.

This is a following study of the preceding study, Flexibility of mind and divergent thinking in problem solving process that was performed by Choi & Do in 2005. In this paper, we discuss the relationship between ability to shift a viewpoint and insight into invariance, another major consideration in mathematical creativity, in the process of mathematical problem solving.

In this study, 3-D object recognition and restoration independent of the object translation for automotive kind recognition in parking administration system using an ultrasonic sensor array, neural networks and invariant moments are presented. Using invariant moment vectors of the acquired data 16$\times$8 pixels, 3-D objects could be classified by SCL (Simple Competitive Learning) neural networks. Modified SCL neural networks using the 16$\times$8 low resolution image was used for object restoration of 32$\times$32 high resolution image. Invariant moment vectors kept constant independent of the object translation. The recognition rates for the training and the testing data were 98[%] and 95[%], respectively. The experimental results have shown that ultrasonic sensor array with the neural networks could be applied for the detection of the automobiles and classification of the automotive kind.
