In this paper, a novel vehicle detection algorithm is proposed that utilizes the color histogram of the image. The color histogram is used to search the image for regions with shadow, block symmetry, and block non-homogeneity, thereby detecting the vehicle region. First, an integral histogram of the input image is computed to decrease the amount of required computation time for the block color histograms. Then, shadow detection is performed and the block symmetry and block non-homogeneity are checked in a cascade manner to detect the vehicle in the image. Finally, the proposed scheme is applied to both still images taken in a parking lot and an on-road video sequence to demonstrate its effectiveness.

In this paper we propose Personal Information Management System for Library Database. It manages personal search pattern for the given user and provide specific book list for library book search system. With the proposed system, the conventional overlap searching time will be decreased with personalized information and search history. This system manages the individual data according to personal searching pattern, sequence and usability. Therefore, the user can locate necessary book information more accurately with their distinct interest and search history.

We consider the visual barcode recognition problem in a noisy video data setup. Unlike most existing single-frame recognizers that require considerable user effort to acquire clean, motionless and blur-free barcode signals, we eliminate such extra human efforts by proposing a robust video-based barcode recognition algorithm. We deal with a sequence of noisy blurred barcode image frames by posing it as an online filtering problem. In the proposed dynamic recognition model, at each frame we infer the blur level of the frame as well as the digit class label. In contrast to a frame-by-frame based approach with heuristic majority voting scheme, the class labels and frame-wise noise levels are propagated along the frame sequences in our model, and hence we exploit all cues from noisy frames that are potentially useful for predicting the barcode label in a probabilistically reasonable sense. We also suggest a visual barcode tracking approach that efficiently localizes barcode areas in video frames. The effectiveness of the proposed approaches is demonstrated empirically on both synthetic and real data setup.

Generally the neural network and the Fuzzy compensative algorithms are applied to forecast the time series for power demand with the characteristics of a nonlinear dynamic system, but, relatively, they have a few prediction errors. They also make long term forecasts difficult because of sensitivity to the initial conditions. In this paper, we evaluate the chaotic characteristic of electrical power demand with qualitative and quantitative analysis methods and perform a forecast simulation of electrical power demand in regular sequence, attractor reconstruction and a time series forecast for multi dimension using Lyapunov Exponent (L.E.) quantitatively. We compare simulated results with previous methods and verify that the present method is more practical and effective than the previous methods. We also obtain the hourly predictability of time series for power demand using the L.E. and evaluate its accuracy.

Aiming at motion analysis and compensation, it is essential to conduct motion detection with images. However, motion detection and tracking from low-altitude images obtained from an unmanned aerial system may pose many challenges due to degraded image quality caused by platform motion, image instability and illumination fluctuation. This research tackles these challenges by proposing a modified joint transform correlation algorithm which includes two preprocessing strategies. In spatial domain, a modified fuzzy edge detection method is proposed for preprocessing the input images. In frequency domain, to eliminate the disturbance of self-correlation items, the cross-correlation items are extracted from joint power spectrum output plane. The effectiveness and accuracy of the algorithm has been tested and evaluated by both simulation and real datasets in this research. The simulation experiments show that the proposed approach can derive satisfactory peaks of cross-correlation and achieve detection accuracy of displacement vectors with no more than 0.03pixel for image pairs with displacement smaller than 20pixels, when addition of image motion blurring in the range of 0~10pixel and 0.002variance of additive Gaussian noise. Moreover,this paper proposes quantitative analysis approach using tri-image pairs from real datasets and the experimental results show that detection accuracy can be achieved with sub-pixel level even if the sampling frequency can only attain 50 frames per second.

본 논문은 사용자로 하여금 표정공간으로부터 일련의 표정들을 선택하게 함으로써 3차원 아바타의 표정을 제어할 수 있는 표정공간의 단계적 가시화 기법을 기술한다. 본 기법에 의한 시스템은 무표정 상태를 포함하여 11개의 서로 다른 모션들로 구성된 2400여개의 표정 프레임으로 2차원 표정공간을 구성하였으며, 3차원 아바타의 표정 제어는 사용자가 표정공간을 항해함으로서 수행되어진다. 그러나 표정공간에서는 과격한 표정 변화에서부터 세밀한 표정 변화까지 다양한 표정 제어를 수행할 수 있어야하기 때문에 단계적 가시화 기법이 필요하다. 표정공간을 단계적으로 가시화하기 위해서는 퍼지 클러스터링을 이용한다. 초기 단계에서는 11개의 클러스터 센터를 가지도록 클러스터링하고, 단계가 증가될 때 마다 클러스터 센터의 수를 두 배씩 증가시켜 표정들을 클러스터링한다. 이때 클러스터 센터와 표정공간에 분포된 표정들의 위치는 서로 다른 경우가 많기 때문에, 클러스터 센터에서 가장 가까운 표정상태를 찾아 클러스터 센터로 간주한다. 본 논문은 본 시스템이 어떤 효과가 있는지를 알기 위해 사용자들로 하여금 본 시스템을 사용하여 3차원 아바타의 단계적 표정 제어를 수행하게 하였으며, 그 결과를 평가한다.

비디오 분할은 비디오 질의 시스템을 만드는 첫 번째 단계로서 각 샷이 같은 내용을 가지는 프레임들의 순서를 표현하는 샷들에 대한 비디오 시퀀스 분할을 목적으로 한다. 샷 전환의 형태는 급진적인 샷 전환과 점진적인 샷 전환으로 구분된다. 샷 전환 검출 접근의 중요한 문제는 샷 전환 검출의 실행을 결정하는 정확한 경계값을 구체화하기 어렵다는 것이다. 또한 클러스터 접근에서는 클러스터의 올바를 수를 찾기가 어렵다. 이러한 문제점들을 개선하고자 컬러-X$^2$ 명도 히스토그램 기반 퍼지 c-means 클러스터링 방법을 이용하여 하이브리드 형태의 샷 전환 검출 방법을 제안 하였다.

This paper proposes a novel method for acoustically and wirelessly transmitting data underwater with a high transmission rate. The method uses the most promising physical layer and multiple access technique (i.e., the code division multiple channel access technique) to divide the channel into subchannels. Data is transmitted through these subchannels. The codes are pseudo-random noise (PN) sequences. In the spread-spectrum technique, a signal such as electrical, electromagnetic, acoustic signal generated in a particular bandwidth is deliberately spread in the frequency domain, which results in a signal with a wider bandwidth. This paper reviews the possibility of application of the direct-sequence code division multiple access (DS-CDMA) technique in an underwater system using MATLAB. As the result of our review, we recognize that the DS-CDMA technique can be applied to underwater environments.

Estimating a driver's head pose is an important task in driver-assistance systems because it can provide information about where a driver is looking, thereby giving useful cues about the status of the driver (i.e., paying proper attention, fatigued, etc.). This study proposes a system for estimating the head pose using monocular images, which includes a novel use of backprojection. The system can use a single image to estimate a driver's head pose at a particular time stamp, or an image sequence to support the analysis of a driver's status. Using our proposed system, we compared two previous pose estimation approaches. We introduced an approach for providing ground-truth reference data using a mannequin model. Our experimental results demonstrate that the proposed system provides relatively accurate estimations of the yaw, tilt, and roll angle. The results also show that one of the pose estimation approaches (perspective-n-point, PnP) provided a consistently better estimate compared to the other (pose from orthography and scaling with iterations, POSIT) using our proposed system.

비선형 동력학 시스템으로 구성된 전력 수요의 시계열 데이터를 예측하기 위해 적용된 신경망 및 퍼지 적응 알고리즘 등은 예측오차가 상대적으로 크게 나타났다. 이는 전력수요 시계열 데이터가 가지고 있는 카오스적인 성질에 기인하며 이중 초기값에 민감한 의존성은 장기적인 예측을 더욱더 어렵게 하는 요인으로 작용한다. 전력수요 시계열 데이터가 가지고 있는 카오스적인 성질을 정량 및 정성적인 방식으로 분석 을 수행하고, 시스템 동력학적 특성의 정량분석에 이용되는 Lyapunov 지수를 이용하여 어트랙터 재구성, 다차원 카오스 시계열 데이터를 예측하는 방식으로 수요예측 시뮬레이션을 수행하고 결과를 비교 평가하여 기존 제안방식보다 실용적이며 효과적임을 확인한다.
