Fouling is an inevitable problem in membrane water treatment plant. It can be measured by trans-membrane pressure (TMP) in the constant flux operation, and chemical cleaning is carried out when TMP reaches a critical value. An early fouilng alarm is defined as warning the critical TMP value appearance in advance. The alarming method was developed using one of machine learning algorithms, decision tree, and applied to a ceramic microfiltration (MF) pilot plant. First, the decision tree model that classifies the normal/abnormal state of the filtration cycle of the ceramic MF pilot plant was developed and it was then used to make the early fouling alarm method. The accuracy of the classification model was up to 96.2% and the time for the early warning was when abnormal cycles occurred three times in a row. The early fouling alram can expect reaching a limit TMP in advance (e.g., 15-174 hours). By adopting TMP increasing rate and backwash efficiency as machine learning variables, the model accuracy and the reliability of the early fouling alarm method were increased, respectively.

Recent developments in the use of drones on battlefields, extending beyond reconnaissance to firepower support, have greatly increased the importance of technologies for early automatic drone identification. In this study, to identify an effective image classification model that can distinguish drones from other aerial targets of similar size and appearance, such as birds and balloons, we utilized a dataset of 3,600 images collected from the internet. We adopted a transfer learning approach that combines the feature extraction capabilities of three pre-trained convolutional neural network models (VGG16, ResNet50, InceptionV3) with an additional classifier. Specifically, we conducted a comparative analysis of the performance of these three pre-trained models to determine the most effective one. The results showed that the InceptionV3 model achieved the highest accuracy at 99.66%. This research represents a new endeavor in utilizing existing convolutional neural network models and transfer learning for drone identification, which is expected to make a significant contribution to the advancement of drone identification technologies.

Biometric recognition is one of the major challenging topics which needs high performance of recognition accuracy. Most of existing methods rely on a single source of biometric to achieve recognition. The recognition accuracy in biometrics is affected by the variability of effects, including illumination and appearance variations. In this paper, we propose a new multimodal biometrics recognition using convolutional neural network. We focus on multimodal biometrics from face and periocular regions. Through experiments, we have demonstrated that facial multimodal biometrics features deep learning framework is helpful for achieving high recognition performance.

Living in the age of information people face problems related to information overload. Information is easy to produce, store and distribute through various communication channels, one of which is emails. With the appearance of the mobile devices, such as smart phones and tabs, people can have access to email inbox at any moment of time from everywhere. In this paper we present information extraction system with a specific goal of extracting meeting location from the announcement of seminar or conference. We apply a machine learning method (conditional random fields, CRF), train the system using annotated corpus of seminar and conference announcements and validate results by applying various extracted correction rules and patterns. Furthermore, we normalize extracted location, and reference using geo-coding databases, OpenStreetMap and Wikipedia resources to determine real geographical coordinates.

This paper presents a system of road extraction for traffic images from a single camera. The road in the images is subject to large changes in appearance because of environmental effects. The proposed system is based on the integration of color correlograms and random forest. The color correlogram depicts the color properties of an image properly. Using the random forest, road extraction is formulated as a learning paradigm. The combined effects of color correlograms and random forest create a robust system capable of extracting the road in very changeable situations.

Human faces have been broadly studied in digital image and video processing fields. An appearance-based method, the adaptive boosting learning algorithm using integral image representations has been successfully employed for face detection, taking advantage of the feature extraction's low computational complexity. In this paper, we propose a face-detection postprocessing method that equalizes instantaneous facial regions in an efficient hardware architecture for use in real-time multimedia applications. The proposed system requires low hardware resources and exhibits robust performance in terms of the movements, zooming, and classification of faces. A series of experimental results obtained using video sequences collected under dynamic conditions are discussed.

Methods of voice rehabilitation in laryngectomees include training of esophageal speech, use of electrolarynx and pneumatic speech aid and surgical methods, etc. In this paper, we introduce the experimental model of obturator-type electrolarynx which has several advantages for use such as ease of learning, no disagreeable appearance, and both hands not being occupied. We compared it to normal voice and other voice rehabilitation methods such as esophageal voice, japanese pneumatic speech aid and cervical electrolarynx in intelligibility and sonagraphic evaluation. The results are as follows; 1) Obturator-type electrolarynx exhibited the lowest intelligibility. 2) In sonagraphic evaluation, the spectrogram produced by the obturator-type electrolarynx was the most different from those of normal voice.

Visual place recognition is widely researched area in robotics, as it is one of the elemental requirements for autonomous navigation, simultaneous localization and mapping for mobile robots. However, place recognition in changing environment is a challenging problem since a same place look different according to the time, weather, and seasons. This paper presents a feature extraction method using a deep convolutional auto-encoder to recognize places under severe appearance changes. Given database and query image sequences from different environments, the convolutional auto-encoder is trained to predict the images of the desired environment. The training process is performed by minimizing the loss function between the predicted image and the desired image. After finishing the training process, the encoding part of the structure transforms an input image to a low dimensional latent representation, and it can be used as a condition-invariant feature for recognizing places in changing environment. Experiments were conducted to prove the effective of the proposed method, and the results showed that our method outperformed than existing methods.

Robust tracking of infrared (IR) pedestrian targets with various backgrounds, e.g. appearance changes, illumination variations, and background disturbances, is a great challenge in the infrared image processing field. In the paper, we address a new tracking method for IR pedestrian targets via multi-feature local sparse representation (SR), which consists of three important modules. In the first module, a multi-feature local SR model is constructed. Considering the characterization of infrared pedestrian targets, the gray and edge features are first extracted from all target templates, and then fused into the model learning process. In the second module, an effective tracker is proposed via the learned model. To improve the computational efficiency, a sliding window mechanism with multiple scales is first used to scan the current frame to sample the target candidates. Then, the candidates are recognized via sparse reconstruction residual analysis. In the third module, an adaptive dictionary update approach is designed to further improve the tracking performance. The results demonstrate that our method outperforms several classical methods for infrared pedestrian tracking.
