This paper presents the results of three-dimensional face point cloud smoothing based on a modified anisotropic diffusion method. The focus of this research was to obtain a 3D face point cloud with a smooth texture and number of vertices equal to the number of vertices input during the smoothing process. Different from other methods, such as using a template D face model, modified anisotropic diffusion only uses basic concepts of convolution and filtering which do not require a complex process. In this research, we used 6D point cloud face data where the first 3D point cloud contained data pertaining to noisy x-, y-, and z-coordinate information, and the other 3D point cloud contained data regarding the red, green, and blue pixel layers as an input system. We used vertex selection to modify the original anisotropic diffusion. The results show that our method has improved performance relative to the original anisotropic diffusion method.

In this paper, we propose a novel technique for noise robust automatic speech recognition (ASR). The development of ASR techniques has made it possible to recognize isolated words with a near perfect word recognition rate. However, in a highly noisy environment, a distinct mismatch between the trained speech and the test data results in a significantly degraded word recognition rate (WRA). Unlike conventional ASR systems employing Mel-frequency cepstral coefficients (MFCCs) and a hidden Markov model (HMM), this study employ histogram of oriented gradient (HOG) features and a Support Vector Machine (SVM) to ASR tasks to overcome this problem. Our proposed ASR system is less vulnerable to external interference noise, and achieves a higher WRA compared to a conventional ASR system equipped with MFCCs and an HMM. The performance of our proposed ASR system was evaluated using a phonetically balanced word (PBW) set mixed with artificially added noise.

This paper addresses a new passive target tracking problem using the range differences measured by cooperative UAVs. In order to solve the range difference based passive target tracking problem within the framework of linear robust state estimation, the uncertain linear measurement model which contains the stochastic parameter uncertainty is derived by using the noisy range difference measurements. To cope with the performance degradation due to the stochastic parameter uncertainty, the recently developed non-conservative robust Kalman filtering technique [1] is applied. For the cruciform formation flying UAVs, the relationship between the target tracking performance and the measurement errors is quantitatively analyzed. The proposed filter has practical advantages over the classical nonlinear filters because, for its recursive linear structure, it can provide satisfactory convergence properties and is suitable for real-time multiple UAVs applications. Through the simulations, the usefulness of the proposed method is demonstrated.

본 연구에서는 부가잡음에 의한 음성신호의 왜곡에 대해 다양한 음성개선 기법을 전처리기로 도입하여 HMM(Hidden Markov Model)에 기반 한 음성인식 시스템의 인식성능을 평가하였다. 음성개선 기법으로는 MMSE(Minimun Mean Square Error) STSA(Short-Time Spectral Amplitude Estimator) 기법과 웨이브렛 영역에서의 UWD(Undecimated Wavelet Denoising), CWD(Conventional Wavelet Denoising) 기법을 적용하였다. 잡음이 없는 데이터로 훈련한 음성인식시스템에 잡음음성을 입력할 때 각 음성개선기법을 전처리기로 사용하여 신호대잡음비(Signal to Noise Ratio)에 따른 인식 성능을 비교하였다.

In this paper, we discuss a gait representation based on the width of silhouette in terms of discriminative power and robustness against the noise in silhouette image for gait recognition. Its sensitivity to the noise in silhouette image are rigorously analyzed using probabilistic noisy silhouette model. In addition, we develop a gait recognition system using width representation and identify subjects using the decision level fusion based on majority voting. Experiments on CASIA gait dataset A and the SOTON gait database demonstrate the recognition performance with respect to the noise level added to the silhouette image.

In this paper, we proposed a discriminative adaptation method for PMC algorithm and achieved improved speech recognition rate. For the adaptation, we adopted modified PMC(MPMC) which is a variant of PMC and discriminatively adapted the association factor for each mixture of the HMM in the MPMC. From the recognition experiments, the proposed method showed better recognition rate than the conventional PMC. Also, compared with STAR algorithm which is another model parameter compensation method, the proposed method showed superior performance when the SNR is very low and the adaptation data is not sufficient.

본 논문에서 제안하는 문맥의존 철자오류 교정은 통계 정보를 이용한 방법으로 통계적 언어처리에서 가장 널리 쓰이는 샤논(Shannon)이 발표한 노이지 채널 모형(noisy channel model)을 기반으로 한다. 선행연구에서 부족하였던 부분의 성능 향상을 위해 교정대상단어의 오류생성 및 통계 데이터의 저장 방식을 개선하여 Default 연산을 적용한 모델을 제안한다. 선행 연구의 모델은 교정대상단어의 오류생성 시 편집거리의 제약을 1로 하여 교정 실험을 하지만 제안한 모델은 같은 환경에서 더욱 높은 검출과 정확도를 보였으며, 오류단어의 편집거리(edit distance) 제약을 넓게 적용하더라도 신뢰도가 있는 검출과 교정을 보였다.

Gradient-based optimization methods are inefficient in applications which require expensive function evaluations, and useless in applications where objective and/or constraint functions are 'noisy' due to modeling and cumulative numerical inaccuracy since gradient evaluation results cannot be reliable. Moreover, it is difficult to be integrated with commercial analysis software, and they cannot be employed when only experimental analysis results are available. In this research an optimization program based on a response surface method has been developed to overcome the aforementioned difficulties. Various methods for design of experiments and new proposed approximation models are implemented in the program. The effectiveness of the optimization program is tested on several test problems and results are discussed.

This paper presents an algorithm of local map building for autonomous robot navigation using LASER range finder information. We develop a model of sensor output for a LASER range finder, and obtain an output data of the LASER range finder for a given environment. From the output data, a local map is obtained through the following procedures: (1) filtering of output data to remove noisy and unnecessary data, (2) comparison of filtered data with the original data to restore useful data, (3) thickening of the map obtained from the restored data, and (4) skeletonizing of the thickened map to get a final local map. Through some simulation studies, a map is obtained from the LASER range finder information for a given indoor environment, and is compared with the environment.
