A driver assistance system is critical to improve a convenience and stability of vehicle driving. Several systems have been already commercialized such as adaptive cruise control system and forward collision warning system. Efficient vehicle detection is very important to improve such driver assistance systems. Most existing vehicle detection systems are based on a radar system, which measures distance between a host and leading (or oncoming) vehicles under various weather conditions. However, it requires high deployment cost and complexity overload when there are many vehicles. A camera based vehicle detection technique is also good alternative method because of low cost and simple implementation. In general, night time vehicle detection is more complicated than day time vehicle detection, because it is much more difficult to distinguish the vehicle's features such as outline and color under the dim environment. This paper proposes a method to detect vehicles at night time using analysis of a captured color space with reduction of reflection and other light sources in images. Four colors spaces, namely RGB, YCbCr, normalized RGB and Ruta-RGB, are compared each other and evaluated. A suboptimal threshold value is determined by Otsu algorithm and applied to extract candidates of taillights of leading vehicles. Statistical features such as mean, variance, skewness, kurtosis, and entropy are extracted from the candidate regions and used as feature vector for SVM(Support Vector Machine) classifier. According to our simulation results, the proposed statistical feature based SVM provides relatively high performances of leading vehicle detection with various distances in variable nighttime environments.

Local Binary Pattern (LBP) and its variants have powerful discriminative capabilities but most of them just consider each LBP code independently. In this paper, we propose sub oriented histograms of LBP for smoke detection and image classification. We first extract LBP codes from an image, compute the gradient of LBP codes, and then calculate sub oriented histograms to capture spatial relations of LBP codes. Since an LBP code is just a label without any numerical meaning, we use Hamming distance to estimate the gradient of LBP codes instead of Euclidean distance. We propose to use two coordinates systems to compute two orientations, which are quantized into discrete bins. For each pair of the two discrete orientations, we generate a sub LBP code map from the original LBP code map, and compute sub oriented histograms for all sub LBP code maps. Finally, all the sub oriented histograms are concatenated together to form a robust feature vector, which is input into SVM for training and classifying. Experiments show that our approach not only has better performance than existing methods in smoke detection, but also has good performance in texture classification.

본 논문에서는 SIFT 기술자를 이용한 얼굴 특징과 SVM 분류기로 표정인식을 수행하는 방법에 대하여 제안한다. 기존 SIFT 기술자는 물체 인식 분야에 있어 키포인트 검출 후, 검출된 키포인트에 대한 특징 기술자로써 주로 사용되나, 본 논문에서는 SIFT 기술자를 얼굴 표정인식의 특징벡터로써 적용하였다. 표정인식을 위한 특징은 키포인트 검출 과정 없이 얼굴영상을 서브 블록 영상으로 나누고 각 서브 블록 영상에 SIFT 기술자를 적용하여 계산되며, 표정분류는 SVM 알고리즘으로 수행된다. 성능평가는 기존의 LBP 및 LDP와 같은 이진패턴 특징기반의 표정인식 방법과 비교 수행되었으며, 실험에는 공인 CK 데이터베이스와 JAFFE 데이터베이스를 사용하였다. 실험결과, SIFT 기술자를 이용한 제안방법은 기존방법보다 CK 데이터베이스에서 6.06%의 향상된 인식결과를 보였으며, JAFFE 데이터베이스에서는 3.87%의 성능향상을 보였다.

Indian herbal plants are used in agriculture and in the food, cosmetics, and pharmaceutical industries. Laboratory-based tests are routinely used to identify and classify similar herb species by analyzing their internal cell structures. In this paper, we have applied computer vision techniques to do the same. The original leaf image was preprocessed using the Chan-Vese active contour segmentation algorithm to efface the background from the image by setting the contraction bias as (v) -1 and smoothing factor (µ) as 0.5, and bringing the initial contour close to the image boundary. Thereafter the segmented grayscale image was fed to a leaky capacitance fired neuron model (LCFN), which differentiates between similar herbs by combining different groups of pixels in the leaf image. The LFCN's decay constant (f), decay constant (g) and threshold (h) parameters were empirically assigned as 0.7, 0.6 and h=18 to generate the 1D feature vector. The LCFN time sequence identified the internal leaf structure at different iterations. Our proposed framework was tested against newly collected herbal species of natural images, geometrically variant images in terms of size, orientation and position. The 1D sequence and shape features of aloe, betel, Indian borage, bittergourd, grape, insulin herb, guava, mango, nilavembu, nithiyakalyani, sweet basil and pomegranate were fed into the 5-fold Bayesian regularization neural network (BRNN), K-nearest neighbors (KNN), support vector machine (SVM), and ensemble classifier to obtain the highest classification accuracy of 91.19%.

대기 중 이산화질소(NO₂)는 주로 인위적인 배출요인으로 발생하며 화학 반응을 통해 이차오염 물질 및 오존 형성에 매개 역할을 하는 인체 건강에 악영향을 미치는 물질이다. 우리나라는 지상 관측소에 의한 실시간 NO₂ 모니터링을 수행하고 있지만, 이는 점 기반의 관측 값으로써 미관측 지역의 공간 분포 분석이 어렵다는 한계점을 지닌다. 본 연구에서는 선형 회귀 기반 모델인 다중 선형 회귀와 회귀 크리깅, 기계학습 알고리즘인 Random Forest (RF), Support Vector Regression (SVR)을 적용한 공간 내삽 모델링을 통해 서울 지역의 지상 NO₂ 농도 지도를 제작하였고, 일별 Leave-One-Out Cross Validation (LOOCV) 교차 검증을 시행하였다. 2020년 연구기간 내 일별 LOOCV에서 MLR, RK, SVR 모델의 일별 평균 Index of agreement (IOA)는 약 0.57로 유사한 성능을 보였으며, RF (0.50)보다 높은 성능이 확인되었다. RK의 일별 평균 nRMSE는 0.9483%으로 MLR (0.9501%)보다 상대적으로 낮은 오차를 나타냈다. MLR과 RK, RF 모델의 계절별 공간 분포는 비슷한 양상을 보였으며, RF는 다른 모델에 비해 좁은 NO₂ 농도 범위가 확인되었다. 본 연구에서 제안된 선형 회귀 기반 공간 내삽은 지상 NO₂ 뿐 아니라 다른 대기 오염 물질의 도시 지역 공간 내삽을 위해 활용 가능성이 높을 것으로 기대된다.

There have been various research efforts for pedestrian recognition in embedded imaging systems. However, many suffer from their heavy computational complexities. SVM classification method has been widely used for pedestrian recognition. The reduction of candidate region is crucial for low-complexity scheme. In this paper, We propose a real time HOG based pedestrian detection system on GPU which images are captured by a pair of cameras. To speed up humans on road detection, the proposed method reduces a number of detection windows with disparity-search and near-search algorithm and uses the GPU and the NVIDIA CUDA framework. This method can be achieved speedups of 20% or more compared to the recent GPU implementations. The effectiveness of our algorithm is demonstrated in terms of the processing time and the detection performance.

*In this paper, we propose a real-time face tracking system using an adaptive face detector and a tracking algorithm. An image is divided into the regions of background and face candidate by a real-time updated skin color identifying system in order to accurately detect facial features. The facial characteristics are extracted using the five types of simple Haar-like features. The extracted features are reinterpreted by Principal Component Analysis (PCA), and the interpreted principal components are processed by Support Vector Machine (SVM) that classifies into facial and non-facial areas. The movement of the face is traced by Kalman filter and Mean shift, which use the static information of the detected faces and the differences between previous and current frames. The proposed system identifies the initial skin color and updates it through a real-time color detecting system. A similar background color can be removed by updating the skin color. Also, the performance increases up to 20% when the background color is reduced in comparison to extracting features from the entire region. The increased detection rate and speed are acquired by the usage of Kalman filter and Mean shift.

Autonomous vehicles must obey the traffic laws in order to drive actual roads. Traffic signs erected at the side of roads explain the road traffic information or regulations. Therefore, traffic sign recognition is necessary for the autonomous vehicles. In this paper, color characteristics are first considered to detect traffic sign candidates. Subsequently, we establish HOG (Histogram of Oriented Gradients) features from the detected candidate and recognize the traffic sign through a SVM (Support Vector Machine). However, owing to various circumstances, such as changes in weather and lighting, it is difficult to recognize the traffic signs robustly using only SVM. In order to solve this problem, we propose a tracking algorithm with RANSAC-based motion estimation. Using two-point motion estimation, inlier feature points within the traffic sign are selected and then the optimal motion is calculated with the inliers through a bundle adjustment. This approach greatly enhances the traffic sign recognition performance.

Smoke detection is helpful for early fire detection. With its large coverage area and low cost, vision-based smoke detection technology is the main research direction of outdoor smoke detection. We propose a two-stage smoke detection method combined with block Deep Normalization and Convolutional Neural Network (DNCNN) and visual change image. In the first stage, each suspected smoke region is detected from each frame of the images by using block DNCNN. According to the physical characteristics of smoke diffusion, a concept of visual change image is put forward in this paper, which is constructed by the video motion change state of the suspected smoke regions, and can describe the physical diffusion characteristics of smoke in the time and space domains. In the second stage, the Support Vector Machine (SVM) classifier is used to classify the Histogram of Oriented Gradients (HOG) features of visual change images of the suspected smoke regions, in this way to reduce the false alarm caused by the smoke-like objects such as cloud and fog. Simulation experiments are carried out on two public datasets of smoke. Results show that the accuracy and recall rate of smoke detection are high, and the false alarm rate is much lower than that of other comparison methods.
