Biometric user authentications, day after day, propagate more to human life instead of traditional systems which use passwords and ID cards. However, most of these systems have many problems for given biometric information such noisy data, low-quality data, a limitation of recognition rate, and so on. To deal with these problems, I used Dual QML which is non-linear classification for classifying correctly the real-world data and then proposed preprocessing method for increasing recognition rate and performance by segmenting a specific region on an image. The previous published Dual QML used face, palmprint, ear for the experiment. In this paper, I used iris for experiment and then proved excellence of Dual QML at iris recognition. Finally I demonstrated these results (e.g. increasing recognition rate and performance, suitability for iris recognition) through experiments.

This paper is study on real-time hand gesture recognition system based on vision for intelligent robot control. We are proposed a recognition system using PCA and BP algorithm. Recognition of hand gestures consists of two steps which are preprocessing step using PCA algorithm and classification step using BP algorithm. The PCA algorithm is a technique used to reduce multidimensional data sets to lower dimensions for effective analysis. In our simulation, the PCA is applied to calculate feature projection vectors for the image of a given hand. The BP algorithm is capable of doing parallel distributed processing and expedite processing since it take parallel structure. The BP algorithm recognized in real time hand gestures by self learning of trained eigen hand gesture. The proposed PCA and BP algorithm show improvement on the recognition compared to PCA algorithm.

In this paper, we propose a method for measuring the volume of packages for the efficient handling of the packages. Using the geometrical characteristics of the rectangular parallelepiped type objects, the method measures the volume of packages with one camera only in real time. In preprocessing of volume measurement, the method extracts outer lines of the object and then crossing points of the lines as feature points or vertexes. From these cross points(-feature points-), the volume of the package is calculated. Compared to the direct feature extraction, the proposed method shows especially the blurring robust result by using the line for feature extraction. Additionally, the method can get the stable result by considering object's direction. From experimental results, it is demonstrated that this method is very effective for the real time volume measurement of the rectangular parallelepiped.

In a process of insect footprint recognition, basic footprint segments should be extracted from a whole insect footprint image in order to find out appropriate features for classification. In this paper, we used a clustering method as a preprocessing stage for extraction of basic insect footprint segments. In general, sizes and strides of footprints may be different according to type and sire of an insect for recognition. Therefore we proposed an improved ART2 algorithm for extraction or basic insect footprint segments regardless of size and stride or footprint pattern. In the proposed ART2 algorithm, threshold value for clustering is determined automatically using contour shape of the graph created by accumulating distances between all the spots of footprint pattern. In the experimental results applying the proposed method to two kinds of insect footprint patterns, we could see that all the clustering results were accomplished correctly.

Purpose: This study aimed to derive clues for the franchise industry to overcome difficulties such as various legal regulations and social responsibility demands and to continuously develop by analyzing the research trends related to franchises published in Korea. Research design, data and methodology: As a result of searching for 'franchise' in ScienceON, abstracts were collected from papers published in domestic academic journals from 1994 to June 2021. Keywords were extracted from the abstracts of 1,110 valid papers, and after preprocessing, keyword analysis, TF-IDF analysis, and topic modeling using LDA algorithm, along with trend analysis of the top 20 words in TF-IDF by year group was carried out using the R-package. Results: As a result of keyword analysis, it was found that businesses and brands were the subjects of research related to franchises, and interest in service and satisfaction was considerable, and food and coffee were prominently studied as industries. As a result of TF-IDF calculation, it was found that brand, satisfaction, franchisor, and coffee were ranked at the top. As a result of LDA-based topic modeling, a total of 12 topics including "growth strategy" were derived and visualized with LDAvis. On the other hand, the areas of Topic 1 (growth strategy) and Topic 9 (organizational culture), Topic 4 (consumption experience) and Topic 6 (contribution and loyalty), Topic 7 (brand image) and Topic 10 (commercial area) overlap significantly. Finally, the trend analysis results for the top 20 keywords with high TF-IDF showed that 10 keywords such as quality, brand, food, and trust would be more utilized overall. Conclusions: Through the results of this study, the direction of interest in the franchise industry was confirmed, and it was found that it was necessary to find a clue for continuous growth through research in more diverse fields. And it was also considered an important finding to suggest a technique that can supplement the problems of topic trend analysis. Therefore, the results of this study show that researchers will gain significant insights from the perspectives related to the selection of research topics, and practitioners from the perspectives related to future franchise changes.

Biometric technology using finger veins is receiving a lot of attention due to its high security, convenience and accuracy. And the recent development of deep learning technology has improved the processing speed and accuracy for authentication. However, the training data is a subset of real data not in a certain order or method and the results are not constant. so the amount of data and the complexity of the artificial neural network must be considered. In this paper, the deep learning model of Inception-Resnet-v2 was used to improve the high accuracy of the finger vein recognizer and the performance of the authentication system, We compared and analyzed the performance of the deep learning model of DenseNet-201. The simulations used data from MMCBNU_6000 of Jeonbuk National University and finger vein images taken directly. There is no preprocessing for the image in the finger vein authentication system, and the results are checked through EER.

In this paper, the classification performance of learning algorithms is compared for TAB digit recognition. The TAB digits that are segmented from TAB musical notes contain TAB lines and musical symbols. The labeling method and non-linear filter are designed and applied to extract fret digits only. The shift operation of the 4 directions is applied to generate more data. The selected models are Bayesian classifier, support vector machine, prototype based learning, multi-layer perceptron, and convolutional neural network. The result shows that the mean accuracy of the Bayesian classifier is about 85.0% while that of the others reaches more than 99.0%. In addition, the convolutional neural network outperforms the others in terms of generalization and the step of the data preprocessing.

Rapidly detecting and warning of fires is necessary for minimizing human injury and property damage. Generally, when fires occur, both the smoke and the flames are generated, so fire detection systems need to detect both the smoke and the flames. However, most fire detection systems only detect flames or smoke and have the disadvantage of slower processing speed due to additional preprocessing task. In this paper, we implemented a fire detection system which predicts the flames and the smoke at the same time by constructing a CNN model that supports multi-labeled classification. Also, the system can monitor the fire status in real time by using Grad-CAM which visualizes the position of classes based on the characteristics of CNN. Also, we tested our proposed system with 13 fire videos and got an average accuracy of 98.73% and 95.77% respectively for the flames and the smoke.

Recently, the importance of signal processing has become gradually significant, as the frequency of video media increases in various fields. However, numerous kinds of noise generated in the transmission and reception processes can possibly affect the signal information, and the noise removal is for that reason essential as a preprocessing step. In this paper, we propose an algorithm to remove the mixed noise which is composed of impulse noise and AWGN. This algorithm is used for image restoration by noise judgment for efficient noise removal in a complex noise environment, and the noise is removed by considering spatial characteristics and pixel variations. Simulation results show that unlike existing methods, the algorithm has excellent noise cancellation characteristics by minimizing both noise effects and consequently eliminating the mixed noise; for objective judgment, we compared and analyzed the data using PSNR and profile.

The automatic defect sorting function of machinery parts is being introduced to the automation of the manufacturing process. In the final stage of automation of the manufacturing process, it is necessary to apply computer vision rather than human visual judgment to determine whether there is a defect. In this paper, we introduce a deep learning method to improve the classification performance of typical mechanical parts, such as welding parts, galvanized round plugs, and electro galvanized nuts, based on the results of experiments. In the case of poor welding, the method to further increase the depth of layer of the basic deep learning model was effective, and in the case of a circular plug, the surrounding data outside the defective target area affected it, so it could be solved through an appropriate pre-processing technique. Finally, in the case of a nut plated with zinc, since it receives data from multiple cameras due to its three-dimensional structure, it is greatly affected by lighting and has a problem in that it also affects the background image. To solve this problem, methods such as two-dimensional connectivity were applied in the object segmentation preprocessing process. Although the experiments suggested that the proposed methods are effective, most of the provided good/defective images data sets are relatively small, which may cause a learning balance problem of the deep learning model, so we plan to secure more data in the future.
