  • This study presents an effective vision-based system for cable bridge damage detection. In theory, cable bridges need to be inspected the outer as well as the inner part. Starting from August 2010, a new research project supported by Korea Ministry of Land, Transportation Maritime Affairs(MLTM) was initiated focusing on the damage detection of cable system. In this study, only the surface damage detection algorithm based on a vision-based system will be focused on, an overview of the vision-based cable damage detection is given in Fig. 1. Basically, the algorithm combines the image enhancement technique with principal component analysis(PCA) to detect damage on cable surfaces. In more detail, the input image from a camera is processed with image enhancement technique to improve image quality, and then it is projected into PCA sub-space. Finally, the Mahalanobis square distance is used for pattern recognition. The algorithm was verified through laboratory tests on three types of cable surface. The algorithm gave very good results, and the next step of this study is to implement the algorithm for real cable bridges.

  • In this paper, we proposed an algorithm to detect aggressive driving status by analysing six kinds of driving patterns, which was achieved by comparing for the feature vectors using mahalanobis distance. The first step is to construct feature matrix of $6{\times}2$ size using frequency response of the time-series accelerometer data. Singular value decomposition makes it possible to find the dominant eigenvalue and its corresponding eigenvector. We use the eigenvector as the feature vector of the driving pattern. We conducted real experiments using three drivers to see the effects of recognition. Although there exists differences from individual drivers, we showed that driving patterns can be recognized with about 80% accuracy. Further research topics will include the development of aggressive driving warning system by improving the proposed technique and combining with post-processing of accelerometer signals.

  • Morphometrics of the sensory appendages for host plant discrimination such as antenna, leg, rostrum of S. furcifera sampled from Korea, China, and Philippines were determined and compared. Computed discriminant scores of 89 characters produced scatter diagrams and group centroids revealing discrete segregations of the three populations.

  • In this paper, a technique is described for classifying normal cases and abnormal cases in automatic spinal deformity detection by computer based on moire topographic images of human backs. Displacement is evaluated statistically between the middle line extracted from the entire moire image and the middle line obtained from a small rectangle area defined on the moire image. The middle line is calculated employing a developed potential symmetry analysis technique. The displacement is calculated in several regions and the mean and the standard deviation of the displacement values are chosen as two features. A linear discriminant function (LDF) is defined on the 2-D feature space based on the Mahalanobis distance and the features are classified into two categories, i.e., normal and ...

  • 본 논문은 주성분 분석으로 시점 기반 고유얼굴(view-based eigenface)을 생성하고, 그에 기반한 얼굴 인식을 수행하고자 한다. 주성분 분석을 통한 고유얼굴 생성은 얼굴 인식의 어려운 문제 중 하나인 특징 선택과 추출이라는 문제를 해결해 준다. 또한 얼굴 표정이나 방향의 변화에도 인식률이 저하되는 것을 방지할 수 있다. 얼굴 영상을 특징공간(고유공간)으로 변환할 때, 원 얼굴영상의 정보를 최대한으로 나타낼 수 있는 최적의 고유치 개수 선택은 얼굴 데이터베이스의 크기와 인식 속도에 영향을 끼친다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 고유치 개수를 고유치의 누적기여율을 이용해서 구한다. 이는 64$\times$64(=4096)차원의 원 얼굴 영상을 5~7차원으로 표현 가능하게 하였다. 그리고, 각 얼굴 방향에 따라 특징공간을 분리해서 생성함으로써 얼굴 방향의 변화에 따라 오인식률을 줄였다. 축소된 차원과 분리된 특징공간은 메모리 사용과 인식속도의 향상에 기여한다. 본 논문에서 얼굴의 인식은 Mahalanobis distance와 재구성 오차율을 고려해서 이루어졌다. 실험은 개인당 세가지 다른 방향을 가지는 얼굴 영상을 이용하여 이루어졌고, 실험결과, 약 93%의 인식률을 보여주었다.

  • This paper focuses on the problem of detecting multiple leverage points and outliers in multivariate linear models. It is well known that he identification of these points is affected by masking and swamping effects. To identify them, Rousseeuw(1985) used robust estimators of MVE(Minimum Volume Ellipsoids), which have the breakdown point of 50% approximately. And Rousseeuw and van Zomeren(1990) suggested the robust distance based on MVE, however, of which the computation is extremely difficult when the number of observations n is large. In this study, e propose a new algorithm to reduce the computational difficulty of MVE. The proposed method is powerful in identifying multiple leverage points and outlies and also effective in reducing the computational difficulty of MVE.

  • We proposed a procedure for detecting of multiple outliers in multivariate data. Rousseeuw and van Zomeren (1990) have suggested the robust distance $RD_i$ by using the Resampling Algorithm. But $RD_i$ are based on the assumption that X is in the general position.(X is said to be in the general position when every subsample of size p+1 has rank p) From the practical points of view, this is clearly unrealistic. In this paper, we proposed a computing method for approximating MVE, which is not subject to these problems. The procedure is easy to compute, and works well even if subsample is singular or nearly singular matrix.

  • The linear and quadratic discrimination functions based on normal theory are widely used to classify an observation to one of predefined groups. But the discriminant functions are sensitive to outliers. A high breakdown procedure to estimate location and scatter of multivariate data is the minimum volume ellipsoid or MVE estimator To obtain high breakdown classifiers outliers in multivariate data are detected by using the robust Mahalanobis distance based on MVE estimators and the weighted estimators are inserted in the functions for classification. A samll-sample MOnte Carlo study shows that the high breakdown robust procedures perform better than the classical classifiers.

  • To improve fault isolation performance of the Bayes isolator, this paper proposes the Fuzzy-Bayes isolator, which uses the Fuzzy-Bayes classifier as a fault isolator. The Fuzzy-Bayes classifier is composed of the Bayes classifier and weighting factor, which is determined by fuzzy inference logic. The Mahalanobis distance derivative is mapped to the weighting factor by fuzzy inference logic. The Fuzzy-Bayes fault isolator is designed for the BLDC motor fault diagnosis system. Fault isolation performance is evaluated by the experiments. The research results indicate that the Fuzzy-Bayes fault isolator improves fault isolation performance and that it can reduce the transition region chattering that is occurred when the fault is injected. In the experiment, chattering is reduced by about half that of the Bayes classifier's.
