We propose a new saliency map model for selecting an attended location in an arbitrary visual scene, which is one of the most important characteristics of human vision system. In selecting an attended location, an edge information can be considered as a feature basis to construct the saliency map. Edge filters are obtained from the independent component analysis(ICA) that is the best way to find independent edges in natural gray scenes. In order to reflect the non-uniform density in our retina, we use a multi-scaled pyramid input image instead of using an original input image. Computer simulation results show that the proposed saliency map model with multi-scale property successfully generates the plausible attended locations.

최근 자동차 산업과 IT 기술의 융합이 활발해지면서 스마트카, 자율주행 자동차(무인 자동차)와 같은 지능형 자동차 개발이 활발히 진행되고 지능형 자동차의 비전 기반 기술개발도 활발히 진행되고 있다. 고속도로와 같이 포장된 도로나 자갈길과 같은 비포장 도로에서도 운전자의 승차감을 고려한 능동적 안전시스템과 안정적인 자율주행 자동차의 주행능력을 보장하는 기술들 중 도로 유형을 판단하는 것이 중요 요소 중 하나이다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 가중치 기반 클러스터링 기술을 이용하여 도로표면 유형을 분류하는 알고리즘을 제안한다. 아스팔트, 자갈길, 흙길, 눈길의 도로표면 영상 데이터를 히스토그램의 분포도와 최고점 위치, 에지 영상의 에지량, 채도성분을 이용하여 특징값을 추출하고 클러스터를 구성한다. 분류할 입력 도로표면 영상에 대해 특징값을 분석한 후 탐색범위 내 선택된 각 클러스터의 벡터와의 거리를 측정하여 가중치를 계산하고 가중치가 높은 클러스터를 분류하여 입력 영상에 대한 도로표면을 결정한다. 실험결과 제안하는 방법이 각 도로표면 영상의 특징값과 이를 이용한 가중치만을 이용하여 약 91.25%의 정확도로 도로의 표면을 분류해 내는 것을 볼 수 있었다.

The sea cucumber, which is distributed over 1,500 species worldwide, is a highly value-added variety that has been considered an important source of marine resources in many countries for a long period of time. Most of the research on sea cucumbers involves the effectiveness of food and its extractions; however, there was no research on the extraction of sea cucumbers. In response, this research suggested a boundary detection algorithm to extract the special spot of sea cucumbers Therefore, in order to capture a large quantity of high value-added in sea cucumbers and we believe that they will be a great help to the sea cucumber recognition program in the future.

본 논문에서는 다양한 조명 조건 및 배경 조건하에서도 정확하게 얼굴의 윤곽선 영역을 검출하기 위한 방법을 제안한다. 입력영상은 조명 조건과 배경 조건에 따라 색상 분포나 에지의 분포가 다르기 때문에 정확한 윤곽선 검출을 위해서는 입력 영상 마다 얼굴 윤곽선을 검출하기 위한 기준을 설정하여야 한다. 이를 위해 입력 영상의 히스토그램을 분석하여 얼굴 후보 영역을 추출하기 위한 임계값을 계산하고 이들의 임계값을 사용하여 얼굴 윤곽선 영역을 검출하였다. 그 결과 제안된 방법은 기존의 방법 보다 뛰어난 성능으로 얼굴 윤곽선을 검출함을 보여 주었다.

This paper presents compression of image sequences based on the classification of interframe difference image blocks. classification process consists of image activity classification and energy distribution classification. In the activity classification, interframe difference image blocks are classified into activity blocks and non-activity blocks using the edge detection. In the distribution classification, activity blocks are further classified into vertical blocks, horizontal blocks, and small activity blocks using the AC energy distribution features. The RBFN, trained with numerical classification results, successfully classifies difference image blocks according to image details. Image sequence compressing based on the classification of interframe difference image blocks using the RBFN shows better compression results and less training time than the classical sorting method and the MLP network.

In this paper, we propose a novel method of adult image classification by combining skin color regions and edges in an input image. The proposed method consists of four steps. In the first step, initial skin color regions are detected by logical AND operation of all skin color regions detected by the existing methods of skin color detection. In the second step, a skin color probability map is created by modeling the distribution of skin color in the initial regions. Then, a binary image is generated by using threshold value from the skin color probability map. In the third step, after using the binary image and edge information, we detect final skin color regions using a region growing method. In the final step, adult image classification is performed by support vector machine(SVM). To this end, a feature vector is extracted by combining the final skin color regions and neighboring edges of them. As experimental results, the proposed method improves performance of the adult image classification by 9.6%, compared to the existing method.

In this paper time series wave data measured continuously for 24 hours during a storm in Yura Sea Area are used to investigate statistical characteristics of nonlinear waves. The exceedance probability of wave height is compared using the Rayleigh distribution and the Edgeworth-Rayleigh (ER) distribution. Wave data which show stationary state for 10 hours contain 4600 waves approximately. The Gram-Chalier distribution fits the probability of wave elevation better than the Gaussian distribution. The Rayleigh ($H_{rms}$) distribution follows the exceedance probability of wave height in general and predicts the probability of freak waves well. The ER distribution overpredicts the exceedance probability of wave heights and the occurrence of freak waves. If wave data measured for 30 minute period which contains 250 waves are used, the ER distribution can predict the occurrence probability of freak waves well. But it overpredicts the probability of overall wave height If no freak wave occurs, the Rayleigh ($H_{rms}$) distribution agrees well with wave height distribution for the most of wave height ranges. The wave height distribution of freak waves of which height are less than 10 m shows similar tendency compared with freak waves greater than 10 m. The value of $H_{max}/H_{1/3}$ is related to the kurtosis of wave elevation. It seems that there exists threshold value of the kurtosis for the occurrence of freak waves.

The local binary pattern (LBP) scheme that is one of the texture classification methods normally uses the distribution of flat, edge and corner patterns. However, it cannot examine the edge direction and the pixel difference because it is a sort of binary pattern caused by thresholding. Furthermore, since it cannot consider the pixel distribution, it shows lower performance as the image size becomes larger. In order to solve this problem, we propose a sub-classification method using the edge direction distribution and eigen-matrix. The proposed sub-classification is applied to the particular texture patches which cannot be classified by LBP. First, we quantize the edge direction and compute its distribution. Second, we calculate the distribution of the largest value among eigenvalues derived from structure matrix. Simulation results show that the proposed method provides a higher classification performance of about 8 % than the existing method.

In this paper we present a facial region detection algorithm for real-time image with complex background and various illumination using spatial and temporal methods. For Detecting Human region It used summation of Edge-Difference Image between continuous image sequences. Then, Detected facial candidate region is vertically divided two objected. Non facial region is reduced using Analysis of Major Color Component. Non facial region has not available Major Color Component. And then, Background is reduced using boundary information. Finally, The Facial region is detected through horizontal, vertical projection of Images. The experiments show that the proposed algorithm can detect robustly facial region with complex background various illumination images.

In this paper, we study efficient gene selection methods by using conditional mutual information. We suggest gene selection methods using conditional mutual information based on semiparametric methods utilizing multivariate normal distribution and Edgeworth approximation. We compare our suggested methods with other methods such as mutual information filter, SVM-RFE, Cai et al. (2009)'s gene selection (MIGS-original) in SVM classification. By these experiments, we show that gene selection methods using conditional mutual information based on semiparametric methods have better performance than mutual information filter. Furthermore, we show that they take far less computing time than Cai et al. (2009)'s gene selection but have similar performance.
