We propose a method to select representative views of single objects and classes of objects for 3D object retrieval and classification. Our method is based on projected 2D shapes, or views, of the 3D objects, where the representative views are selected by applying affinity propagation to cluster uniformly sampled views. Affinity propagation assigns prototypes to each cluster during the clustering process, thereby providing a natural criterion to select views. We recursively apply affinity propagation to the selected views of objects classified as single classes to obtain representative views of classes of objects. By enabling classification as well as retrieval, effective management of large scale databases for retrieval can be enhanced, since we can avoid exhaustive search over all objects by first classifying the object. We demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method for both retrieval and classification by experimental results based on the Princeton benchmark database [16].

Applications of 3D data increase with advancement of multimedia technique and contents, and it is necessary to manage and to retrieve for 3D data efficiently. In this paper, we propose a new method using the sliced shape which extracts efficiently a feature description for shape-based retrieval of 3D models. Since the feature descriptor of 3D model should be invariant to translation, rotation and scale for its model, normalization of models requires for 3D model retrieval system. This paper uses principal component analysis(PCA) method in order to normalize all the models. The proposed algorithm finds a direction of each axis by the PCA and creates orthogonal n planes in each axis. These planes are orthogonalized with each axis, and are used to extract sliced shape image. Sliced shape image is the 2D plane created by intersecting at between 3D model and these planes. The proposed feature descriptor is a distribution of Euclidean distances from center point of sliced shape image to its outline. A performed evaluation is used for average of the normalize modified retrieval rank(ANMRR) with a standard evaluation from MPEG-7. In our experimental results, we demonstrate that the proposed method is an efficient 3D model retrieval.

본 논문에서는 형상기억합금의 특징적인 거동을 모사하기위한 구성방정식을 제안한다. 제안되는 구성방정식은 기존의 소성모델을 기초로 하는 현상학적인 모델로, 소성 경화이론에서 사용되는 항복곡면에 대응되는 상변이 곡면을 정의하여 형상기억합금의 비선형 거동을 모사한다. 단, 상변이 곡면이 1개만 존재하는 소성모델과는 다르게, 오스테나이트에서 마르텐사이트로의 정방향 상변이와 마르텐사이트에서 오스테나이트로의 역방향 상변이를 각각 해석하기위해 독립적인 2개의 상변이 곡면을 정의해주게 된다. 기계적 하중만이 아닌 열적 하중의 변화에도 비선형 거동을 보이는 형상기억합금의 특성을 반영하기위해 상변이 곡면은 응력과 온도의 함수로 정의되며, 이렇게 정의된 상변이 곡면을 바탕으로 리턴 매핑 알고리즘을 적용하여 열적하중과 기계적하중의 변화에 따른 형상기억합금의 거동을 모사하는 구성방정식을 제안하였다.

This paper proposes the method of implementation of practical online face verification system based on multiple feature combination and a similarity space. The main issue in face verification is to deal with the variability in appearance. It seems difficult to solve this issue by using a single feature. Therefore, combination of mutually complementary features is necessary to cope with various changes in appearance. From this point of view, we describe the feature extraction approaches based on multiple principal component analysis and edge distribution. These features are projected on a new intra-person/extra-person similarity space that consists of several simple similarity measures, and are finally evaluated by a support vector machine. From the experiments on a realistic and large database, an equal error rate of 0.029 is achieved, which is a sufficiently practical level for many real- world applications.

Changeable biometrics identify a person using transformed biometric data instead of original biometric data in order to enhance privacy and security in biometrics when biometric data is compromised. In this paper, a novel scheme which generates changeable face templates for statistical appearance-based face recognition is proposed. Two different original face feature vectors are extracted from two different appearance-based approaches, respectively, each original feature vector is normalized, and its elements are re-ordered. Finally a changeable face template is generated by weighted addition between two normalized and scrambled feature vectors. Since the two feature vectors are combined into one by a two to one mapping, the original two feature vectors are not easily recovered from the changeable face template even if the combining rule is known. Also, when we need to make new changeable face template for a person, we change the re-ordering rule for the person and make a new feature vector for the person. Therefore, the security and privacy in biometric system can be enhanced by using the proposed changeable face templates. In our experiments, we analyze the proposed method with respect to performance and security using an AR-face database.

The use of gestures provides an attractive alternate to cumbersome interface devices for human-computer interaction. This has motivated a very active research area concerned with computer vision-based analysis and interpretation of hand gestures. The most important issues in gesture recognition are the simplification of algorithm and the reduction of processing time. The mathematical morphology based on geometrical set theory is best used to perform the processing. A key idea of proposed algorithm in this paper is to apply morphological shape decomposition. The primitive elements extracted to a hand gesture include in very important information on the directivity of the hand gestures. Based on this characteristic, we proposed the morphological gesture recognition algorithm using feature vectors calculated to lines connecting the center points of a main-primitive element and sub-primitive elements. Through the experiment, we demonstrated the efficiency of proposed algorithm. Coupling natural interactions such as hand gesture with an appropriately designed interface is a valuable and powerful component in the building of TV switch navigating and video contents browsing system.

Metal 3D printing, which is an additive metal manufacturing (AMM) process, enables the development of full-density metallic tools and parts using metal powders that are precisely delivered and controlled for deposition with no powder bed. However, some unknown geometric defects and irregular geometric features on an STL model can possibly result in incorrect metal part fabrication after the build. This study first proposes a methodical approach for verifying the build part, including the missing facet problems in an STL model, by defining some irregular features that possibly exist on the part. Second, 2D tool paths on each build layer were investigated for detecting any singular region inside the layer. The method was implemented for building two sample STL models using a direct energy deposition process, and finally, it was visually simulated for diagnosis.

In this study, the analytic solutions and numerical methods were used to estimate the shape and size effects on the stability of underground openings. The stability of underground openings was evaluated by scrutinizing the effects of the rock mass quality, the state of in-situ stresses and the lateral earth pressure coefficient on the displacement, the stress concentration and the plastic region developed in the vicinity of the openings. The analytic solutions have shown that the stress concentration factor is inversely proportional to the radius of curvature of openings. Through parametric study on the various shapes and sizes of underground openings the characteristics of the controlling factors concerned with the stability were analyzed. Then, the study was extended to the horseshoe-shaped openings commonly used for under ground storage. Through the extended study the effects of the stress ratio and the height-towidth ratio of openings on the maximum displacement and plastic region developed around the openings were estimated. The results have shorn that the height-to-width ratio of domestic storage caverns can be increased economically without stability problem, as far as the lateral earth pressure coefficient is appropriate.

In this study, the concrete aggregate shape features were extracted from the cross-section of a normal concrete strength cylinder, and the compressive strength of the cylinder was predicted using artificial neural networks and image processing technology. The distance-angle features of aggregates, along with general aggregate shape features such as area, perimeter, major/minor axis lengths, etc., were numerically expressed and utilized for the compressive strength prediction. The results showed that compressive strength can be predicted using only the aggregate shape features of the cross-section without using major variables. The artificial neural network algorithm was able to predict concrete compressive strength within a range of 4.43% relative error between the predicted strength and test results. This experimental study indicates that various material properties such as rheology, and tensile strength of concrete can be predicted by utilizing aggregate shape features.
