Recently, a feature extraction method based on decision boundary has been proposed for neural networks. The method is based on the fact that all the features necessary to achieve the same classification accuracy as in the original space can be obtained from the vectors normal to decision boundaries. However, the normal vector was estimated numerically. resulting in inaccurate estimation and a long computational time. In this paper. we propose a new method to calculate the normal vector analytically. Experiments show that the proposed method provides a better performance.

Surface segmentation and edge feature lines extraction from fractured fragments of relics are essential steps for computer assisted restoration of fragmented relics. As these fragments were heavily eroded, it is a challenging work to segment surface and extract edge feature lines. This paper presents a novel method to segment surface and extract edge feature lines from triangular meshes of irregular fractured fragments. Firstly, a rough surface segmentation is accomplished by using a clustering algorithm based on the vertex normal vector. Secondly, in order to differentiate between original and fracture faces, a novel integral invariant is introduced to compute the surface roughness. Thirdly, an accurate surface segmentation is implemented by merging faces based on face normal vector and roughness. Finally, edge feature lines are extracted based on the surface segmentation. Some experiments are made and analyzed, and the results show that our method can achieve surface segmentation and edge extraction effectively.

Motor imagery classification in electroencephalography (EEG)-based brain-computer interface (BCI) systems is an important research area. To simplify the complexity of the classification, selected power bands and electrode channels have been widely used to extract and select features from raw EEG signals, but there is still a loss in classification accuracy in the state-of- the-art approaches. To solve this problem, we propose a discriminative feature extraction algorithm based on power bands with principle component analysis (PCA). First, the raw EEG signals from the motor cortex area were filtered using a bandpass filter with ${\mu}$ and ${\beta}$ bands. This research considered the power bands within a 0.4 second epoch to select the optimal feature space region. Next, the total feature dimensions were reduced by PCA and transformed into a final feature vector set. The selected features were classified by applying a support vector machine (SVM). The proposed method was compared with a state-of-art power band feature and shown to improve classification accuracy.

본 논문은 내용 기반 이미지 검색 시스템에서 이미지의 위치 및 모양 정보에 의한 회귀선을 추정하여 효율적으로 특징 벡터 추출함과 동시에 같은 도메인상의 특징 벡터가 일정 수준보다 많아질 경우 효율적으로 특징 벡터의 차원을 줄이는 기법을 제안한다. 특히, 특징 벡터의 차원을 줄이는 제안된 기법은 특징 벡터의 수에 관계없이 특정한 n개의 특징 벡터로의 변환이 가능하다. 본 논문에서 제안된 기법들은 실제 내용 기반 이미지 검색 시스템의 구현을 통해 기존의 방법보다 효율적인 검색은 물론 다차원 특징 벡터를 특정 n차원의 특징 벡터로 변환함으로써 다차원 색인 기법이 가지고 있는 가장 큰 단점인 '차원의 저주' 문제를 근본적으로 해결할 수 있는 방법임을 보인다.

Underwater ambient noise originating from geophysical, biological, and man-made acoustic sources contains information on the source and the ocean environment. Such noise affectsthe performance of sonar equipment. In this paper, three steps are used to identify the ambient noise source, detection, feature extraction, and similarity measurement. First, we use the zero-crossing rate to detect the ambient noisesource from background noise. Then, a set of feature vectors is proposed forthe ambient noise source using the Hilbert-Huang transform and the Karhunen-Loeve transform. Finally, the Euclidean distance is used to measure the similarity between the standard feature vector and the feature vector of the unknown ambient noise source. The developed algorithm is applied to the observed ocean data, and the results are presented and discussed.

Background: Accuracy in feature extraction is an important factor in image classification and retrieval. In this paper, a breast tissue density classification and image retrieval model is introduced for breast cancer detection based on thermographic images. The new method of thermographic image analysis for automated detection of high tumor risk areas, based on two-directional two-dimensional principal component analysis technique for feature extraction, and a support vector machine for thermographic image retrieval was tested on 400 images. The sensitivity and specificity of the model are 100% and 98%, respectively.

There has been a lot of attention paid recently to analyze dynamic human gestures that vary over time. Most attention to dynamic gestures concerns with spatio-temporal features, as compared to analyzing each frame of gestures separately. For accurate dynamic gesture recognition, motion feature extraction algorithms need to find representative features that uniquely identify time-varying gestures. This paper proposes a new feature-extraction algorithm using temporal self-similarity based on a hierarchical human model. Because a conventional temporal self-similarity method computes a whole movement among the continuous frames, the conventional temporal self-similarity method cannot recognize different gestures with the same amount of movement. The proposed model-based temporal self-similarity method groups body parts of a hierarchical model into several sets and calculates movements for each set. While recognition results can depend on how the sets are made, the best way to find optimal sets is to separate frequently used body parts from less-used body parts. Then, we apply a multiclass support vector machine whose optimization algorithm is based on structural support vector machines. In this paper, the effectiveness of the proposed feature extraction algorithm is demonstrated in an application for taebo gesture recognition. We show that the model-based temporal self-similarity method can overcome the shortcomings of the conventional temporal self-similarity method and the recognition results of the model-based method are superior to that of the conventional method.

Recently, various methods to effectively eliminate the noise are researched in image processing techniques. However, the conventional noise filtering techniques, which remove most of the noise, are less efficient for remained noise detection after filtering due to exploiting no face feature information. In this paper, we proposed a feature vector generation technique in the mouth region by distinguishing and revising the remained noise through gradient correction, when the outline is extracted after performing noise filtering.

This paper explores an image segmentation and representation method using Vector Quantization(VQ) on color and texture for content-based image retrieval system. The basic idea is a transformation from the raw pixel data to a small set of image regions which are coherent in color and texture space. These schemes are used for object-based image retrieval. Features for image retrieval are three color features from HSV color model and five texture features from Gray-level co-occurrence matrices. Once the feature extraction scheme is performed in the image, 8-dimensional feature vectors represent each pixel in the image. VQ algorithm is used to cluster each pixel data into groups. A representative feature table based on the dominant groups is obtained and used to retrieve similar images according to object within the image. The proposed method can retrieve similar images even in the case that the objects are translated, scaled, and rotated.

웨이블릿 변환(Wavelet Transform)은 공간-주파수 영역에서 신호의 국소특성을 효율적으로 구현할 수 있다 하지만, 웨이블릿 변환을 패턴 인식을 위한 특징 추출에 적용할 경우, 입력 신호의 위치 이동에 따라 추출된 특징 값이 변화하게 되어 인식률이 낮아지는 결함이 있다. 본 논문에서는 웨이블릿 변환을 패턴 인식에 적용할 경우 발생하는 입력 신호의 위치 이동에 따른 문제점을 보완하여 노이즈에 강인한 홍채인식 알고리즘을 제안한다. 실험을 통하여 제안한 알고리즘의 우수성을 보여 준다.
