본 논문에서는 다중 지역 이진 패턴(Multi-scale Bock LBP, MB-LBP) 특징과 랜덤 포레스트에 기반한 새로운 기법의 머리 방향 분류 기법을 제안한다. 제안 기법에서는 occlusion 과 조명의 변화에 강인한 분류 정확도를 얻기 위해서 랜덤화된 트리를 학습하는 것을 목표로 한다. 우선, 얼굴 이미지로부터 많은 MB-LBP 특징을 추출하고, 얼굴 영상들을 랜덤하게 입력하고 MB-LBP 크기 파라미터와 같은 랜덤 특징과 블록 좌표들을 사용하여 트리를 생성한다. 게다가 각 노드에서 정보 이득을 최대화 하는 트리의 내부 노드를 생성하기 위해서 uniform LBP 의 특성을 고려한 분할 함수를 개발한다. 랜덤화된 트리는 랜덤 포레스트에 포함되어 있으며 마지막 결정단계에서 Maximum-A-Posteriori criterion 으로 최종 결정을 한다. 실험 결과는 제안 기법이 다양한 조명, 자세, 표현, occlusion 상황에서 기존의 방법보다 개선된 성능으로 머리 방향을 분류 할 수 있음을 보여준다.

본 논문에서는 MB-LBP(Multi-scale Block Local Binary Patterns)와 공간피라미드를 이용하여 생성된 특징을 랜덤 포레스트(Random Forest) 분류기에 적용하여 영상내의 표지판 속도를 인식하는 알고리즘을 제안한다. 입력 영상에서 표지판 영역은 다양한 위치와 크기를 가지며 주위 배경이 후보 영역에 포함되므로 먼저 입력 영상에 원형 Hough Transform을 적용하여 원형의 표지판 후보 영역만을 검출한다. 그 후 영상의 화질을 향상시키기 위해 히스토그램 평활화와 모폴로지 연산을 적용하여 표지판의 숫자 영역과 배경 영역의 대비를 높이도록 한다. 표지판의 크기 변화에 강건한 시스템의 구현을 위해 후보 영역에서 LBP(Local Binary Patterns)보다 우수한 성능을 보이는 MB-LBP를 적용하고, 다양한 크기의 속도 표지판을 인식하기 위해 공간 피라미드를 사용하여 지역적 특징과 전역적 특징 모두를 추출하였다. 추출된 특징은 랜덤 포레스트(Random Forest)를 이용하여 각 9개의 속도 표지판으로 분류, 각 속도별 클래스에 대한 인식 성능을 측정하였다.

Embedded devices with the development of modern computer technology also began equipped with a variety of functions. In this study, to provide a method of tracking efficient face with a small instrument of resources, such as built-in equipment that uses an image sensor in recent years has been actively carried out. It uses a face detection method using the features of the MB-LBP in order to obtain an accurate face, specify the region (Region of Interest) around the face when the face detection for the face object tracking in the next video did. And in the video can not be detected faces, to track objects using the CAM-Shift key is a conventional object tracking method, which make it possible to retain the information without loss of object information. In this study, through the comparison with the previous studies, it was confirmed the precision and high-speed performance of the object tracking system.

In this paper, we propose an robust CAMShift method to track stage objects with a camera. In order to solve the problem of tracking object misdetection in existing CAMShift technique, MBR region is detected to separate the background and the subject, and the subject size of the region of interest is calculated to solve the problem of erroneously detecting a large region having a similar color distribution ratio. Also, by applying the color corelogram and MB-LBP to the part that can not be solved by the color ratio and the size limitation, accurate texture tracking is enabled by reflecting the texture characteristics. Experimental results show that the proposed method has good tracking performance for objects that do not deviate from the size of the subject set in the area of interest and accurately extracts the texture characteristics of different subjects with similar color distribution ratios.

In general LPR(License Plate Recognition) in outdoor image is not so simple differently from in the image captured from manmade environment, because of geometric shape distortion and large illumination changes. this paper proposes three techniques for LPR in outdoor images captured from CCTV. At first, a serially connected multi-stage Adaboost LP detector is proposed, in which different complementary features are used. In the proposed detector the performance is increased by the Haar-like Adaboost LP detector consecutively connected to the MB-LBP based one in serial manner. In addition the technique is proposed that makes image processing easy by the prior determination of LP type, after correction of geometric distortion of LP image. The technique is more efficient than the processing the whole LP image without knowledge of LP type in that we can take the appropriate color to gray conversion, accurate location for separation of text/numeric character sub-images, and proper parameter selection for image processing. In the proposed technique we use DBN(Deep Belief Network) to achieve a robust character recognition against stroke loss and geometric distortion like slant due to the incomplete image processing.

The automatic traffic sign detection and recognition has been one of the highly researched and an important component of advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS). They are designed especially to warn the drivers of imminent dangers such as sharp curves, under construction zone, etc. This paper presents a traffic sign recognition (TSR) system using morphological operations and multiple descriptors. The TSR system is realized in three stages: segmentation, shape classification and recognition stage. The system is designed to attain maximum accuracy at the segmentation stage with the inclusion of morphological operations and boost the computation time at the shape classification stage using MB-LBP descriptor. The proposed system is tested on the German traffic sign recognition benchmark (GTSRB) and on Korean traffic sign dataset.

최근 컴퓨터 기술의 발전과 함께 임베디드 기기 또한 다양한 기능을 갖추기 시작했다. 본 연구에서는 최근 활발하게 진행되고 있는 영상센서를 사용한 임베디드 기기 등 자원이 적은 기기에서 효율적인 얼굴 추적 방식을 제안한다. 정확한 얼굴을 얻기 위하여 MB-LBP 특징을 사용한 얼굴 검출 방식을 사용했으며, 다음 영상에서 얼굴 객체 추적을 위하여 얼굴 검출시 얼굴 주변 영역(Region of Interest)을 지정하였다. 그리고 얼굴을 검출을 못하는 영상에서는 기존의 객체 추적 방식인 CAM-Shift를 사용해 객체를 추적해 객체 정보의 손실 없이 정보를 유지 할 수 있도록 하였다. 본 연구는 기존 연구와의 비교를 통하여 객체 추적 시스템의 정확성과 빠른 성능을 확인하였다.

Although two-dimensional principal component analysis (2DPCA) has been shown to be successful in face recognition system, it is still very sensitive to illumination variations. To reduce the effect of these variations, texture-based techniques are used due to their robustness to these variations. In this paper, we explore several texture-based techniques and determine the most appropriate one to be used with 2DPCA-based techniques for face recognition. We also propose a new distance metric computation in 2DPCA called Row Assembled Matrix Distance (RowAMD). Experiments on Yale Face Database, Extended Yale Face Database B, AR Database and LFW Database reveal that the proposed RowAMD distance computation method outperforms other conventional distance metrics when Local Line Binary Pattern (LLBP) and Multi-scale Block Local Binary Pattern (MB-LBP) are used for face authentication and face identification, respectively. In addition to this, the results also demonstrate the robustness of the proposed RowAMD with several texture-based techniques.
