This paper concerns extracting 3D motion information from a 3D input device in real time focused to enabling effective human-computer interaction. In particular, we develop a novel algorithm for extracting 6 degrees-of-freedom motion information from a 3D input device by employing an epipolar geometry of stereo camera, color, motion, and structure information, free from requiring the aid of camera calibration object. To extract 3D motion, we first determine the epipolar geometry of stereo camera by computing the perspective projection matrix and perspective distortion matrix. We then incorporate the proposed Motion Adaptive Weighted Unmatched Pixel Count algorithm performing color transformation, unmatched pixel counting, discrete Kalman filtering, and principal component analysis. The extracted 3D motion information can be applied to controlling virtual objects or aiding the navigation device that controls the viewpoint of a user in virtual reality setting. Since the stereo vision-based 3D input device is wireless, it provides users with a means for more natural and efficient interface, thus effectively realizing a feeling of immersion.

This paper presents a method for combining classifier which is constructed by fuzzy and neural network classifiers and uses classifier fusion algorithms and selection algorithms. The input space of combing classifier is divided by the extended hyperbox region proposed in this paper to guarantee non-overlapped data property. To fuse the fuzzy classifier and the neural network classifier, we propose the fusion parameter for the overlapped data. In addition, the adaptive learning algorithm also proposed to maximize classifier performance. Finally, simulation examples are given to illustrate the effectiveness of the method.

This paper presents an efficient fast motion estimation algorithm and image segmentation method for low bit-rate coding. First, with region split information, the algorithm splits the image having homogeneous and semantic regions like face and semantic regions in image. Then, in these regions, We find the motion vector using adaptive search window adjustment. Additionally, with this new segment based fast motion estimation, we reduce blocking artifacts by intensively coding our interesting region(face or arm) in input image. The simulation results show the improvement in coding performance and image quality.

In this paper, I propose a detection algorithm that can reliably separate moving objects from noisy background in the image sequence received from a camera at the fixed position. The proposed algorithm consists of four processes: generation of the difference image between the input image and the reference image. multilevel quantization of the difference image, and multistage merging in the quantized image, detection of the moving object using a back propagation in a neural network. The test results show that the proposed algorithm can detect moving objects very effectively in noisy environment.

Cognitive map (CM) has long been used as an effective way of constructing the human thinking process. In literature regarding CM, a number of successful researches were reported, where CM based what-if analysis could enhance firm's performance. However, there exit very few researches investigating the CM generation method. Therefore this study proposes a GENCOM (Genetic Algorithm based Cognitive Map Generator). In this model combined with CM and GA, GA will find the optimal weight and input vector so that the CM generation. To empirically prove the effectiveness of GENCOM, we collected valid questionnaires from expert in S/W sales cases. Empirical results showed that GENCOM could contribute to effective CM simulation and very useful method to extracting the tacit knowledge of sales experts.

In this paper proposes the optimal fuzzy controller design method using the genetic algorithm. Proposed method is that fuzzy rules and input - output scaling factors of the fuzzy controller are determined by using genetic algorithm that is very effectively in the optimization problem. The optimal fuzzy rules of servo system uses the fitness function which are the performance index in fuzzy controller. In order to verify excellent control performances of the proposed control method, we compare the control performance and characteristics about the proposed control method with a conventional fuzzy control method through a lot of simulations and experiments with one link manipulator.

Function approximation from a set of input-output pairs has numerous applications in scientific and engineering areas. Support vector machine (SVM) is a new and very promising classification, regression and function approximation technique developed by Vapnik and his group at AT&TG Bell Laboratories. However, it has failed to establish itself as common machine learning tool. This is partly due to the fact that this is not easy to implement, and its standard implementation requires the use of optimization package for quadratic programming (QP). In this appear we present simple iterative Kernel Adatron (KA) algorithm for function approximation and compare it with standard SVM algorithm using QP.

This paper presents a new saliency map which is constructed by providing dynamic weights on individual features in an input image to search ROI(Region Of Interest) or FOA(Focus Of Attention). To construct a saliency map on there is no a priori information, three feature-maps are constructed first which emphasize orientation, color, and intensity of individual pixels, respectively. From feature-maps, conspicuity maps are generated by using the It's algorithm and their information quantities are measured in terms of entropy. Final saliency map is constructed by summing the conspicuity maps weighted with their individual entropies. The prominency of the proposed algorithm has been proved by showing that the ROIs detected by the proposed algorithm in ten different images are similar with those selected by one-hundred person's naked eyes.

Voltage sourced converter (VSC) based direct-current (DC) grid has the ability to control power flow flexibly and securely, thus it has become one of the most valid approaches in aspect of large-scale renewable power generation, oceanic island power supply and new urban grid construction. To solve the optimal power flow (OPF) problem in DC grid, an adaptive particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithm based on fuzzy control theory is proposed in this paper, and the optimal operation considering both power loss and voltage quality is realized. Firstly, the fuzzy membership curve is used to transform two objectives into one, the fitness value of latest step is introduced as input of fuzzy controller to adjust the controlling parameters of PSO dynamically. The proposed strategy was applied in solving the power flow issue in six terminals DC grid model, and corresponding results are presented to verify the effectiveness and feasibility of proposed algorithm.

In this paper, we propose a method that optimizes the parameters of fuzzy logic controller : centers and widths of membership functions and scaling factors using genetic algorithm. Before fuzzy logic controller controls a plant in real time, first off it is optimized by genetic algorithm. We select error and error variation between reference trajectory and real output for the input signals of fuzzy controller. We compared and investigated conventional fuzzy control method and proposed method through simulation and experiment using one link manipulator with nonlinear characteristic.
