Face recognition is very challenging because of the unexpected changes of pose, expression, and illumination. Facial detection in the mobile environments has additional difficulty since the computational resources are very limited. This paper discusses face detection based on frequency domain matched filtering in the mobile environments. Face detection is performed by a linear or phase-only matched filter and sequential verification stages. The candidate window regions are selected by a number of peaks of the matched filtering outputs. The sequential stages comprise a skin-color test and an edge mask filtering tests, which aim to remove false alarms among selected candidate windows. The algorithms are built with JAVA language on the mobile device operated by the Android platform. The simulation and experimental results show that real-time face detection can be performed successfully in the mobile environments.

In this paper, we propose an iterative soft dimension reduction based multi-input multi-output (MIMO) detection for coded spatial multiplexing system. In spite of better performance of iterative MIMO detection, its computational complexity gives a significant burden to the receivers. To mitigate this problem, we propose a scheme employing all ordering successive interference cancellation (AOSIC) for hard-decision detection and dimension reduction soft demodulator (DRSD) with iterative decoding for soft-decision detectors, respectively. This scheme can reduce complexity of iterative soft MIMO detection and provide better performance than other conventional detectors.

This paper proposed the multi characters detection algorithm using Color segmentation and the closing curve feature of LoG Operator in order to complement the demerit of the existing research which is weak in complexity of background, variety of light and disordered line and similarity of left and background color, etc. The proposed multi characters detection algorithm divided into three parts : The feature detection, characters format and characters detection Parts in order to be possible to apply to image of various feature. After preprocess that the new multi characters detection algorithm that proposed in this paper used wavelet, morphology, hough transform which is the synthesis logical model in order to raise detection rate by acquiring the non-perfection characters as well as the perfection characters with processing OR operation after processing each color area by AND operation sequentially. And the proposal algorithm is simulated with natural images which include natural character area regardless of size, resolution and slant and so on of image. And the proposal algorithm in this paper is confirmed to an excellent detection rate by compared with the conventional detection algorithm in same image.

비즈니스 프로세스란 기업의 모든 고객에게 적절한 서비스를 제공하기 위해 순차적 또는 동시적으로 발생할 수 있는 모든 연관된 업무의 집합을 의미한다. 이러한 비즈니스 프로세스는 프로세스 설계 작업을 통하여 시스템 차원에서 관리함으로써 프로세스의 생산성 및 효율성 등을 확대하게 된다. 하지만 프로세스 설계 작업은 주로 사람에 의해 수행되기 때문에 예상하지 못한 오류들이 발생할 수 있게 된다. 이러한 설계 오류들은 기업이 원하는 과정으로 프로세스가 진행하지 않을 수 있으며, 이는 기업의 막대한 인적 손실 및 비용 손실을 초래하게 된다. 그러므로 비즈니스 프로세스 설계 단계에서 오류가 없도록 설계 하거나 또는 미리 정의된 오류 유형들을 설계 도구를 통하여 검출 할 수 있는 작업이 필요하다. 본 논문에서는 비즈니스 프로세스 설계 단계에서의 오류 검출 작업에 활용될 수 있도록 유형 별로 설계 오류들을 분석 하고 정의하였다.

In this paper, we propose a real-time two-dimensional bar code detection system even at long range using a vision technique. We first perform short-range detection, and then long-range detection if the short-range detection is not successful. First, edge map generation, image binarization, and connect component labeling (CCL) are performed in order to select a region of interest (ROI). After interpolating the selected ROI using bilinear interpolation, a location symbol pattern is detected as the same as for short-range detection. Finally, the symbol pattern is arranged by applying inverse perspective transformation to localize bar codes. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed system successfully detects bar codes at two or three times longer distance than existing ones even at indoor environment.

In this paper, we propose a robust deinterlacing algorithm which combines edge dependent interpolation (EDI) and global motion compensation (GMC). Generally, EDI algorithm shows a visually better performance than any other deinterlacing algorithm using one field. However, due to the restriction of information in one field, a high duality progressive image from Interlaced sources cannot be acquired by intrafield methods. On the contrary, since algorithms based on motion compensation make use of not only spatial information but also temporal information, they yield better results than those of using one field. However, performance of algorithms based on motion compensation depends on the performance of motion estimation. Hence, the proposed algorithm makes use of mixing process of EDI and GMC. In order to obtain the best result, an adaptive thresholding algorithm for detecting the failure of GMC is proposed. Experimental results indicate that the proposed algorithm outperforms the conventional approaches with respect to both objective and subjective criteria.

We consider some problems of the Modified SPRT(Sequential Probability Ratio Test) method for fault detection and isolation of inertial redundant sensor systems and propose an Advanced SPRT method which solves the problems of the Modified SPRT method. The problems of the Modified SPRT method to apply to inertial sensor system come from the effect of inertial sensor errors and the correlation of parity vector components. We use a two-stage Kalman filter to remove effects of the inertial sensor errors and propose the modified parity vector and the controlled parity vector which reduces the effect of correlation of parity vector components. The Advanced SPRT method is derived form the modified parity vector and the controlled party vector. Some simulation results are presented to show the usefulness of the Advanced SPRT method to redundant inertial sensor systems.

This paper proposes the noise robust algorithm to detect the starting point of music. Detection of starting point of music is necessary to solve computational-waste problem and retrieval-comparison problem with inconsistent input data in music content based retrieval system. In particular, such detection is even more necessary in time sequential retrieval method that compares data in the sequential order of time in contents based music retrieval system. Whereas it has the long point that the retrieval is fast since it executes simple comparison in the order of time, time sequential retrieval method has the short point that data starting time to be compared should be the same. However, digitalized music cannot guarantee the equity of starting time by bit rate conversion. Therefore, this paper ensured that recognition rate shall not decrease even while executing high speed retrieval by applying time sequential retrieval method through detection of music starting point in the pre-processing stage of retrieval. Starting point detection used minimum wave model that can detect effective sound, and for strength against noise, the noises existing in mute sound were swapped. The proposed algorithm was confirmed to produce about 38% more excellent performance than the results to which starting point detection was not applied, and was verified for the strength against noise.
