Recognition of human motions has become a main area of computer vision due to its potential human-computer interface (HCI) and surveillance. Among those existing recognition techniques for human motions, head detection and tracking is basis for all human motion recognitions. Various approaches have been tried to detect and trace the position of human head in two-dimensional (2D) images precisely. However, it is still a challenging problem because the human appearance is too changeable by pose, and images are affected by illumination change. To enhance the performance of head detection and tracking, the real-time three-dimensional (3D) data acquisition sensors such as time-of-flight and Kinect depth sensor are recently used. In this paper, we propose an effective feature extraction method, called adaptive local binary pattern (ALBP), for depth image based applications. Contrasting to well-known conventional local binary pattern (LBP), the proposed ALBP cannot only extract shape information without texture in depth images, but also is invariant distance change in range images. We apply the proposed ALBP for head detection and tracking in depth images to show its effectiveness and its usefulness.

Maximum likelihood estimation (MLE) of the generalized extreme value distribution (GEVD) is known to sometimes over-estimate the positive value of the shape parameter for the small sample size. The maximum penalized likelihood estimation (MPLE) with Beta penalty function was proposed by some researchers to overcome this problem. But the determination of the hyperparameters (HP) in Beta penalty function is still an issue. This paper presents some data adaptive methods to select the HP of Beta penalty function in the MPLE framework. The idea is to let the data tell us what HP to use. For given data, the optimal HP is obtained from the minimum distance between the MLE and MPLE. A bootstrap-based method is also proposed. These methods are compared with existing approaches. The performance evaluation experiments for GEVD by Monte Carlo simulation show that the proposed methods work well for bias and mean squared error. The methods are applied to Blackstone river data and Korean heavy rainfall data to show better performance over MLE, the method of L-moments estimator, and existing MPLEs.

잡음섞인 관측데이타로부터 AR 모수를 추정하는 방법을 제안하였다. AP 방법이라고 이름붙인 이 방법은 단순하고도 신뢰성있는 적응예측기를 이용하려는 시도의 산물이다. 잡음섞인 입력수열로부터 계산된 AR 모수의 추정치보다 예측수열로부터 계산된 AR 모수의 추정치가 원래의 모수에 스펙트럼상의 거리가 더 가깝다는 것을 이론적으로 증명하였다. 실제 음성 신호와 칼만필터를 사용한 실험결과도 이론과 일치함을 보였다. 대략적으로, AP방법으로 계산된 추정치를 사용하였을때의 잡음감쇠성능은 잡음섞인 입력수열로부터 계산된 AP 모수의 추정치를 사용하였을때보다는 우수하였고, EM반복법에 의한 추정치를 사용하였을때보다는 약간 못한 것으로 나타났다. 그러나, 제안된 방법은 그 단순성으로 인하여 경우에 따라 더 복잡한 다른 방법의 대안으로 사용될 수 있을 것이다.

본 논문에서는 해프톤 패턴 간섭 분석을 통해 모아레 패턴을 효과적으로 제거할 수 있는 새로운 모아레 영역 평활화 방법을 제시한다. 제안한 방법에서는 픽셀의 화소값을 이용하여 모아레 패턴의 세기를 결정하고 그 세기에 따라 평활화 정도를 적응적으로 조정해 주기 때문에, 모아레 패턴을 효과적으로 제거하면서 경계나 텍스쳐 같은 의미 있는 고주파 성분도 효과적으로 보존할 수 있다. 또한 기존의 블록기반 퓨리에 변환 방법과 달리, 미리 만들어진 테이블을 참조하는 과정만으로 모아레 패턴의 세기를 결정하기 때문에 연산 시간측면에서도 효율적이다. 제안한 방법은 칼라 인쇄물을 다루는 다양한 멀티미디어 분야에서 유용하게 활용될 수 있다.

압축 센싱 (Compressive Sensing, CS)은 많은 응용분야에서 유망한 기술로 널리 연구되고 있다. 압축 센싱 이론에 의하면 어떤 특별한 기저에서 성긴 신호 (sparse signal)이라는 것이 알려졌다면 이 신호는 전통적인 방법이 사용하는 샘플 수보다 훨씬 적은 샘플로 최적화 과정을 통해 복원이 가능하다는 것이다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 압축 센싱 기술을 균일한 선형 배열로 구성된 다중 입출력 레이더 시스템에 적용하고자 한다. 특별히 압축 센싱 기술을 사용하여 DOA (direction-of-arrival)을 찾는 문제를 고찰하고 그 성능을 전통적인 적응형 다중 입출력 기법의 성능과 비교한다. 모의 실험을 통해 압축 센싱 방법은 전통적인 적응형 다중 입출력 기법에 비해 훨씬 적은 샘플로 비슷한 성능을 보임을 확인할 수 있었다.

Energy efficiency is critical for Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) since sensor nodes usually have very limited energy supply from battery. Sleep scheduling and nodes cooperation are two of the most efficient methods to achieve energy conservation in WSNs. In this paper, we propose an adaptive energy optimization approach for target tracking applications, called Energy-Efficient Node Coordination (EENC), which is based on the grid structure. EENC provides an unambiguous calculation and analysis for optimal the nodes cooperation theoretically. In EENC, the sleep schedule of sensor nodes is locally synchronized and globally unsynchronized. Locally in each grid, the sleep schedule of all nodes is synchronized by the grid head, while globally the sleep schedule of each grid is independent and is determined by the proposed scheme. For dynamic sleep scheduling in tracking state we propose a multi-level coordination algorithm to find an optimal nodes cooperation of the network to maximize the energy conservation while preserving the tracking performance. Experimental results show that EENC can achieve energy saving of at least 38.2% compared to state-of-the-art approaches.

Two aspects of the design of a small-scale smart wing are addressed in this work, related to the ability of the wing to modify its cross section assuming the shape of two different airfoils and to the possibility of deflecting the profiles near the trailing edge in order to obtain hingeless control surfaces. The actuation is provided by one-way shape memory alloy wires eventually coupled to springs, Shape Memory Alloys (SMAs) being among the most promising materials for this kind of applications. The points to be actuated along the profiles and the displacements to be imposed are selecetd so that they satisfactorily approximate the change from an airfoil to the other and to result in an adequate deflection of the control surface; the actuators and their performances are designed so that an adequate wing stiffness is guaranteed, in order to prevent excessive deformations and undesired airfoil shape variations due to aerodynamic loads. The effect of the pressure distributions, calculated by way of the XFOIL software, and of the actuators loads, is estimated by FE analyses of the loaded wing. Two prototypes are then realised incorporating the variable airfoil and the hingeless aileron features respectively, and the verification of their shapes in both the actuated and non-actuated states, supported by image analysis techniques, confirms that interesting results are achievable with the proposed lay out and design considerations.

Genetic algorithm (GA) and particle swarm optimization (PSO) are two excellent approaches to multimodal optimization problems. However, slow convergence or premature convergence readily occurs because of inappropriate and inflexible evolution. In this paper, a novel optimization algorithm with a flexible grid optimization (FGO) is suggested to provide adaptive trade-off between exploration and exploitation according to the specific objective function. Meanwhile, a uniform agents array with adaptive scale is distributed on the gird to speed up the calculation. In addition, a dominance centroid and a fitness center are proposed to efficiently determine the potential guides when the population size varies dynamically. Two types of subregion division strategies are designed to enhance evolutionary diversity and convergence, respectively. By examining the performance on four benchmark functions, FGO is found to be competitive with or even superior to several other popular algorithms in terms of both effectiveness and efficiency, tending to reach the global optimum earlier. Moreover, FGO is evaluated by applying it to a parameter decision in a least squares support vector machine (LS-SVM) to verify its practical competence.
