In this paper, we describe methods that analyze a human gesture. A human interface(HI) system for analyzing gesture extracts the head and hand regions after taking image sequence of and operators continuous behavior using CCD cameras. As gestures are accomplished with operators head and hands motion, we extract the head and hand regions to analyze gestures and calculate geometrical information of extracted skin regions. The analysis of head motion is possible by obtaining the face direction. We assume that head is ellipsoid with 3D coordinates to locate the face features likes eyes, nose and mouth on its surface. If was know the center of feature points, the angle of the center in the ellipsoid is the direction of the face. The hand region obtained from preprocessing is able to include hands as well as arms. For extracting only the hand region from preprocessing, we should find the wrist line to divide the hand and arm regions. After distinguishing the hand region by the wrist line, we model the hand region as an ellipse for the analysis of hand data. Also, the finger part is represented as a long and narrow shape. We extract hand information such as size, position, and shape.

As new luxury brands are becoming more popular, recent new luxury consumers are showing different tendencies of consumption. The purpose of this study is to investigates the specific bond between the product benefits for new luxury fashion brand and the consumer-brand relationship. Specifically this study conceptualizes the dual path which leads to brand loyalty and brand commitment. 300 data from on-line survey were collected from middle class women who had trading up needs and respondents were asked to select their favorable new luxury fashion brand. As a result of an exploratory factor analysis to identify the structural dimensions of product benefit for new luxury brand groups, four factors were extracted; psychological/emotional benefits, social/symbolic benefits, self-expressive benefits, and product functional benefit. Additional results show that brand attitude had more positive effect on brand loyalty and brand attachment had more positive effect on brand commitment. The findings of this study contribute to provide practical implication on market segmentation for new luxury brands.

The brain magnetic resonance images (MRI) is an important imaging biomarker in Alzheimer's disease (AD) as the cerebral atrophy has been shown to strongly associate with cognitive symptoms. The decrease of volume estimates in different structures of the medial temporal lobe related to memory correlates with the decline of cognitive functions in neurodegenerative diseases. During the past decades several methods have been developed for quantifying the disease related atrophy of hippocampus from MRI. Special effort has been dedicated to separate AD and mild cognitive impairment (MCI) related modifications from normal aging for the purpose of early detection and prediction. We trained a multi-class support vector machine (SVM) with probabilistic outputs on a sample (n = 58) of 20 normal controls (NC), 19 individuals with MCI, and 19 individuals with AD. The model was then applied to the cross-validation of same data set which no labels were known and the predictions. This study presents data on the association between MRI quantitative parameters of hippocampus and its quantitative structural changes examination use on the classification of the diseases.

Image processing techniques play an increasingly important role in many aspects of our daily life. For example, it has been shown to improve agricultural productivity in a number of ways such as plant pest detecting or fruit grading. However, massive quantities of images generated in real-time through multi-devices such as remote sensors during monitoring plant growth lead to the challenges of big data. Meanwhile, most current image processing systems are designed for small-scale and local computation, and they do not scale well to handle big data problems with their large requirements for computational resources and storage. In this paper, we have proposed an IPABigData (Image Processing Algorithm BigData) platform which provides algorithms to support large-scale image processing in agriculture based on Hadoop framework. Hadoop provides a parallel computation model MapReduce and Hadoop distributed file system (HDFS) module. It can also handle parallel pipelines, which are frequently used in image processing. In our experiment, we show that our platform outperforms traditional system in a scenario of image segmentation.

In this paper, we develop a real time lip-synch system that activates 2-D avatar's lip motion in synch with an incoming speech utterance. To realize the 'real time' operation of the system, we contain the processing time by invoking merge and split procedures performing coarse-to-fine phoneme classification. At each stage of phoneme classification, we apply the support vector machine (SVM) to reduce the computational load while retraining the desired accuracy. The coarse-to-fine phoneme classification is accomplished via two stages of feature extraction: first, each speech frame is acoustically analyzed for 3 classes of lip opening using Mel Frequency Cepstral Coefficients (MFCC) as a feature; secondly, each frame is further refined in classification for detailed lip shape using formant information. We implemented the system with 2-D lip animation that shows the effectiveness of the proposed two-stage procedure in accomplishing a real-time lip-synch task. It was observed that the method of using phoneme merging and SVM achieved about twice faster speed in recognition than the method employing the Hidden Markov Model (HMM). A typical latency time per a single frame observed for our method was in the order of 18.22 milliseconds while an HMM method applied under identical conditions resulted about 30.67 milliseconds.

In this study, we present a denoising algorithm for high-frame-rate videos in an ultra-low illumination environment on the basis of Kalman filtering model and a new motion segmentation scheme. The Kalman filter removes temporal noise from signals by propagating error covariance statistics. Regarded as the process noise for imaging, motion is important in Kalman filtering. We propose a new motion estimation scheme that is suitable for serious noise. This scheme employs the small motion vector characteristic of high-frame-rate videos. Small changing patches are intentionally neglected because distinguishing details from large-scale noise is difficult and unimportant. Finally, a spatial bilateral filter is used to improve denoising capability in the motion area. Experiments are performed on videos with both synthetic and real noises. Results show that the proposed algorithm outperforms other state-of-the-art methods in both peak signal-to-noise ratio objective evaluation and visual quality.

구어는 프로그래밍 언어와는 달리 주어진 문장 내에서의 해당 어휘의 뜻(semantic information)을 알고 다른 어휘들과의 연관성 (grammatical information)을 알아야만 적절한 형태소분석이 가능하다. 또한 구어는 방대한 양의 어휘들로 구성되어 있으며 사용하는 사람마다의 다양한 응용과 공식화되기 어려운 수많은 예외들로 운용되기 때문에 단순히 찾아보기표와 오토마타만으로는 형태소분석에 한계가 있다. 이에 본 논문에서는 주어진 어휘집과 그 어휘들로 만들어진 다양한 문장들로부터 구어운용의 근본기제를 스스로 학습해나가는 강화학습중심의 언어모델을 제안하고 실제로 한국어 형태소분석에 적용하여 그 성능과 특성을 파악해보았다. 구어파서의 입력은 음절단위의 발음이며 인간이 문장을 듣거나 보는 것과 동일하게 시간에 따라 순차적으로 입력된다. 파서의 출력 또한 시간에 따라 변화되면서 나타나며 입력된 연속음절을 형태소단위로 분리(segmentation)하고 분류(labeling)한 결과를 나타낸다. 생성인식 언어모델이 기존의 언어모델과 다른 점은 구어 파싱에 있어서 필수적인 미등륵어에 대한 유연성과 앞단의 음성인식기 오류에 적절한 반응(fault tolerance)을 나타내는 것이다.
