The statistical analysis of the feature extraction and the neural networks are proposed to recognize a human face. In the preprocessing step, the normalized skin color map with Gaussian functions is employed to extract the region of face candidate. The feature information in the region of the face candidate is used to detect the face region. In the recognition step, as a tested, the 120 images of 10 persons are trained by the backpropagation algorithm. The images of each person are obtained from the various direction, pose, and facial expression. Input variables of the neural networks are the geometrical feature information and the feature information that comes from the eigenface spaces. The simulation results of 10 persons show that the proposed method yields high recognition rates.

This paper describes a new pattern classifier neural network to extract the feature from a letter. The proposed pattern classifier is based on relative distance, which is measure between an input datum and the center of cluster group. So, the proposed classifier neural network is called relative neural network(RNN). According to definitions of the distance and the learning rule, the structure of RNN is designed and the pseudo code of the algorithm is described. In feature extraction of letter, RNN, in spite of deletion of learning rate, resulted in the identical performance with those of winner-take-all(WTA), and self-organizing-map(SOM) neural network. Thus, it is shown that RNN is suitable to extract the feature of a letter.

For development of landslide risk assessment techniques using GIS(Geographic Information System), this study classifies the category of socioeconomic factors. The landslide quantitative risk assessment performs first prediction of flow trajectory and runout distance of debris flow over natural terrain. Based on those results, it can be analyzed the factors of socioeconomic which are directly related to the magnitude of risk due to landslide hazards. Those risk assessment results can deliver factual damage situation prediction to policy making for the landslide damage mitigation. Therefore, this study is based on feature classification of the digital map ver. 2.0 provided by the National Geographic Information Institute. The category of factors can be used as useful data in preventing landslide.

We present a self-localization method for mobile robots using vertical line features of indoor environment. When a 2D map including feature points and color information is given, a mobile robot moves to the destination, and acquires images from the surroundings having vertical line edges by one camera. From the image, vertical line edges are detected, and pattern vectors meaning averaged color values of the left and right regions of the each line are computed by using the properties of the line and a region growing method. The pattern vectors are matched with the feature points of the map by comparing the color information and the geometrical relationship. From the perspective transformation and rigid transformation of the corresponded points, nonlinear equations are derived. Localization is carried out from solving the equations by using Newton's method. Experimental results show that the proposed method using mono view is simple and applicable to indoor environment.

This paper presents a new algorithm for the self-localization of a mobile robot using one degree perspective Invariant(Cross Ratio). Most of conventional model-based self-localization methods have some problems that data structure building, map updating and matching processes are very complex. Use of a simple cross ratio can be effective to the above problems. The algorithm is based on two basic assumptions that the ground plane is flat and two locally parallel sloe-lines are available. Also it is assumed that an environmental map is available for matching between the scene and the model. To extract an accurate steering angle for a mobile robot, we take advantage of geometric features such as vanishing points. Feature points for cross ratio are extracted robustly using a vanishing point and intersection points between two locally parallel side-lines and vertical lines. Also the local position estimation problem has been treated when feature points exist less than 4points in the viewed scene. The robustness and feasibility of our algorithms have been demonstrated through real world experiments In Indoor environments using an indoor mobile robot, KASIRI-II(KAist Simple Roving Intelligence).

본 논문에서는 패턴 매칭 방법에 근거하여 인식 단위가 음소인 음소 기반 인식 시스템을 구성하였다. 선택한 신경망 구조는 생물학적 신경망인 코호넨(T. Kohonen)의 SOFM(Self-Organizing Feature Map)으로 패턴 매칭 과정 중 cluster로 사용하였다. SOFM 신경망은 신호 공간에 대해서 최적의 국소(局所) 해부적 사사에 의한 자기 조직화 과정을 수행하며, 그 결과 인식 문제에 있어서 상당히 높은 정확도를 나타낸다. 따라서 SOFM 신경망은 음소 인식에도 효과적으로 응용될 수 있다. 또한 음소 인식 시스템의 성능 향상을 위해 K-means 클러스터링 알고리즘이 결합된 학습 알고리즘을 제안하였다. 제안된 음소 인식 시스템의 성능을 평가하기 위해, 먼저, 우리말 음소들을 모음, 파열음, 마찰음, 파찰음, 유음 및 비음, 종성의 6개 음소군으로 분류하고 각 음소군에 대한 특징 지도를 구성하여 labeler의 기능을 수행하게 하였다. 화자 종속 인식실험 결과 87.2%의 인식률을 보였으며 제안한 학습법의 빠른 수렴성과 인식률 향상을 확인하였다.

백터양자와를 위한 신경망을 사용은 그것의 적응적 설계 특성으로 더 좋은 코드북을 설계할 수 있을 것으로 기대되며, 또한 설계된 코드북의 코드워드는 자동정렬되어 실시간 탐색을 가능케 한다. 신경망의 이러한 장점을 살리기 위하여 본 논문에서는 KSFM(Kohonen`s Self-organizing Feature Map)을 수정하고, K-means 알고리즘을 결함한 새로운 코드북 설계 할고리즘을 제안한다. 실험결과로 부터 제안된 알고리즘의 성능향상과 실시간 처리를 위한 코드북의 부분탐색 가능성을 확인하였다.

This paper describes a method for obstacle avoidance and map building for mobile robots using one CCD camera. The captured image from one camera has the feature that some parts where focused look fine but the other parts look blear (this is the out-focusing effect). Using this feature a mobile robot can find obstacles in his way from the captured image. After Processing the image, a robot can not only determine whether an obstacle is in front of him or not, but also calculate the distance from obstacles based on image data and the focal distance of its camera lens. Finally, robots can avoid the obstacle and build the map using this calculated data.

Maps are one of the most complicated types of drawings. Drawing recognition technology is not yet sophisticated enough for automated map reading. To automatically extract a road map directly form more complicated topographical maps, a very complicated algorithm is needed, simce the image generally involves such complicated patterns as symbols, characters, residential sections, rivers,etc. This paper describes a new feature extraction method based on the human optical neural field. We apply this method to extract complete set of road segments from topographical maps. The proposed method successfully extract road segments from various areas.
