In this paper, a new model for isolated word recognition called segment probability model is proposed. The proposed model is composed of two procedures of segmentation and modelling each segment. Therefore the spoken word is devided into arbitrary segments and observation probability in each segments is obtained using vector quantization. The proposed model is compared with pattern matching method and hidden Markov model by recognition experiment. The experimental results show that the proposed model is better than exsisting methods in terms of recognition rate and caculation amounts.

본 논문에서는 SVM에 기반 하여 template matching 기법을 도입한 얼굴 검출 알고리즘을 제안한다. 또한 얼굴의 기하학적 특징에 기반 해 얼굴일 확률이 낮은 경우 비 얼굴로 인식하는 방법으로 SVM의 적용 횟수를 줄여 검출속도를 향상 시켰다. 그리고 single response criterion을 적용하여 얼굴을 중복검출하거나 얼굴 영역 내에서 얼굴을 찾는 경우를 제거하여 속도를 개선하였다.

We propose a novel monitoring system for diagnosing crack faults of the wind turbine using image information. The proposed method classifies a normal state and a abnormal state for the blade parts of the wind turbine. Specifically, the images are input to the proposed system in various states of wind turbine rotation. according to the blade condition. Then, the video of rotating blades on the wind turbine is divided into several image frames. Motion vectors are estimated using the previous and current images using the motion estimation, and the change of the motion vectors is analyzed according to the blade state. Finally, we determine the final blade state using the Support Vector Machine (SVM) classifier. In SVM, features are constructed using the area information of the blades and the motion vector values. The experimental results showed that the proposed method had high classification performance and its $F_1$ score was 0.9790.

Vector quantization for image compression needs expensive encoding time to find the closest codeword to the input vector. This paper proposes a search algorithm for fast vector quantization encoding. Firstly, we derive a robust condition based on the efficient topological structure of the codebook to dramatically eliminate unnecessary matching operations from the search procedure. Then, we Propose a fast search algorithm using the elimination condition. Simulation results show that with little preprocessing and memory cost, the encoding time of the proposed algorithm is reduced significantly while the encoding quality remains the same with respect to the full search algorithm. It is also found that the Proposed algorithm outperforms the existing search algorithms.

Recently in the field of telecommunication, there is much interest in geo-surface characteristics of urban areas. Geophysical properties of urban features are now incorporated with accurate positional information to model the telecommunication environment. In this study, three-dimensional buildings are geometrically reconstructed from existing vector maps and aerial images. Accurate digital vector maps are easily available in Korea. However existing maps, which had been produced for GIS applications, do not have height information which is critical to three dimensional building reconstruction. Image matching techniques were applied to aerial image stereopairs to automatically extract the height information of buildings. Planimetric coordinates from vector maps were used as initial guides in the process. Future studies will be undertaken to link geophysical properties to the three-dimensional spatial objects reconstructed from this study thus bringing the telecommunication environment model closer to reality.

This paper discuss an index-based subsequence matching that supports time warping in large sequence databases. Time warping enables finding sequences with similar patterns even when they are of different lengths. In earlier work, Kim et al. suggested an efficient method for whole matching under time warping. This method constructs a multidimensional index on a set of feature vectors, which are invariant to time warping, from data sequences. For filtering at feature space, it also applies a lower-bound function, which consistently underestimates the time warping distance as well as satisfies the triangular inequality. In this paper, we incorporate the prefix-querying approach based on sliding windows into the earlier approach. For indexing, we extract a feature vector from every subsequence inside a sliding window and construct a multidimensional index using a feature vector as indexing attributes. For query processing, we perform a series of index searches using the feature vectors of qualifying query prefixes. Our approach provides effective and scalable subsequence matching even with a large volume of a database. We also prove that our approach does not incur false dismissal. To verify the superiority of our approach, we perform extensive experiments. The results reveal that our approach achieves significant speedup with real-world S&P 500 stock data and with very large synthetic data.

This paper is a study on the isolated word recognition of speaker independent which proposes to newly improved MSVQ(multisection vector quantization) recognition system which improve the classical MSVQ recognition system. It is a difference that test pattern has on more section than reference pattern in recognition system 146 DDD area names are selected as recognition vocabulary. 12th LPC cepstral coefficients is used as feature parameter. and when codebook is generated, MINSUM and MINMAX are used in finding the centroid. According to the experiment result. it is proved that this method is better than VQ(vector quantization) recognition methods, DTW(dynamic time warping) pattern matching methods and classical MSVQ methods for recognition rate and recognition time.

MJoin is proposed as an algorithm to join multiple data streams efficiently, whose characteristics are unpredictably changed. It extends a symmetric hash join to handle multiple data streams. Whenever a tuple arrives from a remote stream source, MJoin checks whether all of hash tables have matching tuples. However, when a join involves many data streams with low join selectivity, the performance of this checking process is significantly influenced by the checking order of hash tables. In this paper, we propose a BiHT-Join algorithm which extends MJoin to conduct this checking in a constant time regardless of a join order. BiHT-Join maintains a bit-vector which represents the existence of tuples in streams and decides a successful/unsuccessful join through comparing a bit-vector. Based on the bit-vector comparison, BiHT-Join can conduct a hash join only for successful joining tuples based on this decision. Our experimental results show that the proposed BiHT-Join provides better performance than MJoin in the processing of multiple streams.

A motion vector re-estimation algorithm for image downscaling in discrete consine transform domain is presented. Kernel functions are difined using SAD (Aum of Absolute Difference) and edge information of a macroblock. The proposed method uses these kernel functions to re-estimate a new motion vector of the downscaled image. The motion vectors from the incoming bitstream of transcoder are reused to reduce computation burden of the block-matching motion estimation, and we also reuse the given motion vectors. Several experiments in this paper show that the computation efficiency and the PSNR (Peak Signal to Noise Ratio) and better than the previous methods.

A video stream can be represented by a sequence of data points in a multidimensional space. In this paper, we introduce a trend vector that approximates values of data points in a sequence and represents the moving trend of points in the sequence, and present a pattern similarity matching method for data sequences using the trend vector. A sequence is partitioned into multiple segments, each of which is represented by a trend vector. The query processing is based on the comparison of these vectors instead of scanning data elements of entire sequences. Using the trend vector, our method is designed to filter out irrelevant sequences from a database and to find similar sequences with respect to a query. We have performed an extensive experiment on synthetic sequences as well as video streams. Experimental results show that the precision of our method is up to 2.1 times higher and the processing time is up to 45% reduced, compared with an existing method.
