본 논문은 선형분류기인 LDA 융합모델과 최소거리패턴분류법을 이용한 얼굴표정인식 알고리즘 연구에 관한 것이다. 제안된 알고리즘은 얼굴 표정을 인식하기 위해 두 단계의 특징 추출과정과 인식단계를 거치게 된다. 먼저 특징추출 단계에서는 얼굴 표정이 담긴 영상을 PCA를 이용해 고차원에서 저차원의 공간으로 변환한 후, LDA 이용해 특징벡터를 클래스 별로 나누어 분류한다. 다음 단계로 LDA융합모델을 통해 계산된 특징벡터에 최소거리패턴분류법을 적용함으로서 얼굴 표정을 인식한다. 제안된 알고리즘은 6가지 기본 감정(기쁨, 화남, 놀람, 공포, 슬픔, 혐오)으로 구성된 데이터베이스를 이용해 실험한 결과, 기존알고리즘에 비해 향상된 인식률과 특정 표정에 관계없이 고른 인식률을 보임을 확인하였다.

본 논문에서는 얼굴 인식 시스템에서 정면 얼굴 영상의 관심 영역을 추출하는 효율적인 방법을 소개한다. 얼굴 인식 시스템은 얼굴 요소의 특징 을 이용하여 자동으로 얼굴을 구별하는 시스템이며, 얼굴 요소로는 눈, 코, 입과 눈썹을 주로 사용한다. 본 논문에서는 동적 모델을 이용하여 눈과 입을 관심영역으로 하여 이 영역을 세 단계로 나누어 추출한다. 첫 번째로 전체 얼굴 모델을 이용하여 similarity 변환을 적용하여 얼굴의 대략적인 위치를 찾는다. 두 번째 단계에서는 얼굴 근처에서 각각의 눈, 입 모델을 비선형 변환을 적용하여 정확한 눈과 입을 찾는다. 최종 단계에서는 이렇게 맞춘 모델로부터 전체 모델을 변형시킨 후에 변형전과 후의 적합성을 판단하여 최종 위치를 정한다. 제안한 알고리즘을 130명의 영상에 대하여 적용한 결과 눈을 정확하게 추출한 경우는 120명이고, 입을 정확히 추출한 경우는 119명이었다. 본 논문에서 제안하는 관심 영역 추출 방법은 일반적인 모델 방법에 특정 목적에 적합한 모델을 혼합한 방법으로 일반적인 모델만을 적용한 방법과 프로젝션 분석 등의 특정 목적만을 위한 방법보다 좋은 결과를 얻을 수 있었다.

Non-negative matrix factorization (NMF) is one of the typical parts-based representation in which images are expressed as a linear combination of basis vectors that show the lcoal features or objects in the images. In this paper, we represent face images using various NMF methods and recognize their face identities based on extracted features using a learning vector quantization. We analyzed the various NMF methods by comparing extracted basis vectors. Also we confirmed the availability of NMF to the face recognition by verification of recognition rate of the various NMF methods.

This paper describes a novel global shape (GS) feature based on radial basis function network (RBFN) and the extraction method of the proposed feature for 3D face recognition. RBFN is the weighted sum of RBfs, it well present the non-linearity of a facial shape using the linear combination of RBFs. It is the proposed facial feature that the weights of RBFN learned by the horizontal profiles of a face. RBFN based feature expresses the locality of the facial shape even if it is GS feature, and it reduces the feature complexity like existing global methods. And it also get the smoothing effect of the facial shape. Through the experiments, we get 94.7% using the proposed feature and hidden markov model (HMM) to match the features for 100 gallery set with those for 300 test set.

In passive sonar system, frequency lines generated by underwater target are very important for detection, tracking and classification. In this paper, the extraction method of unstable frequency line from the time samples of the radiated noise of underwater target is studied. As unstable frequency line is time varying, an extended Kalman filter algorithm which is desirable for nonlinear system is applied to extract unstable frequency line. The proposed method shows good extraction of unstable frequency line by application of simulated signal and real target.

This study is carried out the investigation of nonlinear characteristics of the field wave observation data acquired in the western sea area in Jeju island during one year. It is aimed to offer the fundamental data for Freak wave forecasting in real sea. For this, the nonlinear parameters of ocean waves, which are Skewness, Atiltness, Kurtosis and Spectrum band width parameter et al., are introduced, and the parameters are compared and discussed with some characteristics wave components, ie, significant wave height, maximum wave height, and so on. As a results, we know that the parameters describe nonlinear characteristics of observed wave spectrum broadly, are feebly related with occurrence of abnormal maximum wave height, namely freak event, however the Kurtosis, $K_t$ which is a degree of peakness of mode of surface elevation distribution, has better relationship than others.

얼굴의 표정은 얼굴의 구성요소 같은 기하학적 정보와 조명이나 주름 같은 세부적인 정보들로 표현된다. 얼굴 표정은 기하학적 변형만으로는 실감적인 표정을 생성하기 힘들기 때문에 기하학적 변형과 더불어 텍스쳐 같은 세부적인 정보도 함께 변형해야만 실감적인 표현을 할 수 있다. 표정비율이미지 (Expression Ratio Image)같은 얼굴 텍스처의 세부적인 정보를 변형하기 위한 기존 방법들은 조명에 따른 피부색의 변화를 정확히 표현할 수 없는 단점이 있다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 이러한 문제를 해결하기 위해 서로 다른 조명 조건에서도 실감적인 표정 텍스처 정보를 적용할 수 있는 비선형 피부색 모델 기반의 표정 합성 방법을 제안한다. 제안된 방법은 동적 외양 모델을 이용한 자동적인 얼굴 특징 추출과 와핑을 통한 표정 변형 단계, 비선형 피부색 변화 모델을 이용한 표정 생성 단계, Euclidean Distance Transform (EDT)에 의해 계산된 혼합 비율을 사용한 원본 얼굴 영상과 생성된 표정의 합성 등 총 3 단계로 구성된다. 실험결과는 제안된 방법이 다양한 조명조건에서도 자연스럽고 실감적인 표정을 표현한다는 것을 보인다.

In content-based image retrieval (CBIR), most conventional approaches assume a linear relationship between different features and require users themselves to assign the appropriate weights to each feature. However, the linear relationship assumed between the features is too restricted to accurately represent high-level concepts and the intricacies of human perception. In this paper, a neural network-based image retrieval (NNIR) model is proposed. It has been developed based on a human-computer interaction approach to CBIR using a radial basis function network (RBFN). By using the RBFN, this approach determines the nonlinear relationship between features and it allows the user to select an initial query image and search incrementally the target images via relevance feedback so that more accurate similarity comparison between images can be supported. The experiment was performed to calculate the level of recall and precision based on a database that contains 1,015 images and consists of 145 classes. The experimental results showed that the recall and level of the proposed approach were 93.45% and 80.61% respectively, which is superior than precision the existing approaches such as the linearly combining approach, the rank-based method, and the backpropagation algorithm-based method.

In this paper, we propose a method for nonlinear grapheme segmentation in Korean printed character type classification. The characters are subdivided into six types based on character type information. The feature vector is consist of mesh features, vertical projection features and horizontal projection features which are extracted from gray-level images. We classify characters into 6 types using Back propagation. Character segmentation regions are determined based on character type information. Then, an optimal nonlinear grapheme segmentation path is found using multi-stage graph search algorithm. As the result, a proposed methodology is proper to classify character type and to find nonlinear char segmentation paths.

For the fault diagnosis of three-phase induction motors, we propose a diagnosis algorithm based on mutual information and linear discriminant analysis (LDA). The experimental unit consists of machinery module for induction motor drive and data acquisition module to obtain the fault signal. As the first step for diagnosis procedure, DFT is performed to transform the acquired current signal into frequency domain. And then, frequency components are selected according to discriminate order calculated by mutual information As the next step, feature extraction is performed by LDA, and then diagnosis is evaluated by k-NN classifier. The results to verify the usability of the proposed algorithm showed better performance than various conventional methods.
