This paper presents a new feature extraction technique, correlation coefficient and Manhattan distance (MD) based method for recognition of rotated object in an image. This paper also represented a new concept of intensity invariant. We extracted global features of an image and converts a large size image into a one-dimensional vector called circular feature vector's (CFVs). An especial advantage of the proposed technique is that the extracted features are same even if original image is rotated with rotation angles 1 to 360 or rotated. The proposed technique is based on fuzzy sets and finally we have recognized the object by using histogram matching, correlation coefficient and manhattan distance of the objects. The proposed approach is very easy in implementation and it has implemented in Matlab7 on Windows XP. The experimental results have demonstrated that the proposed approach performs successfully on a variety of small as well as large scale rotated images.

To classifying and filtering of adult images, in recent the computer vision techniques are actively investigated because rapidly increase for the amount of adult images accessible on the Internet. In this paper, we investigate and develop the tool filtering of adult images using skin color model. The tool is consisting of two steps. In the first step, we use a skin color classifier to extract skin color regions from an image. In the nest step, we use a region feature classifier to determine whether an image is an adult image or not an adult image depending on extracted skin color regions. Using histogram color model, a skin color classifier is trained for RGB color values of adult images and not adult images. Using SVM, a region feature classifier is trained for skin color ratio on 29 regions of adult images. Experimental results show that suggested classifier achieve a detection rate of 92.80% with 6.73% false positives.

Most image segmentation methods are to represent observed feature vectors at each pixel, which are assumed as appropriated probability models. These models can be used by statistical estimating or likelihood clustering algorithms of feature vectors. EM algorithms have some calculation problems of maximum likelihood for unknown parameters from incomplete data and maximum value in post probability distribution. First, the performance is dependent upon starting positions and likelihood functions are converged on local maximum values. To solve these problems, we mixed the Gausian function and histogram at all the level values at the image, which are proposed most suitable image segmentation methods. This proposed algoritms are confirmed to classify most edges clearly and variously, which are implemented to MFC programs.

In order to process video data effectively, it is required that the content information of video data is loaded in database and semantic- based retrieval method can be available for various query of users. In this paper, we propose semantic-based video retrieval system for Environment Education Contents which support semantic retrieval of various users by feature-based retrieval and annotation-based retrieval of massive video data. By user's fundamental query and selection of image for key frame that extracted form query, the agent gives the detail shape for annotation of extracted key frame. Also, key frame selected by user become query image and searches the most similar key frame through feature based retrieval method that propose. From experiment, the designed and implemented system showed high precision ratio in performance assessment more than 90 percents.

Texture is one of the most useful features in classifying and segmenting images. The LBP-based approach previously presented in the literature has been successful in many applications. However, it's theoretical foundation is based only on the difference of pixel values, and consequently it has a number of drawbacks like it performs poorly for the images corrupted with noise, and especially it cannot be used as a multiscale texture descriptor due to the exploding increase of feature vector dimension with increase of the number of neighbor pixels. In this paper, we present a method to address these drawbacks of LBP-based approach. More specifically, our approach quantizes the range of pixels values and construct a 3D histogram which captures the correlative information of pixels. This histogram is used as a texture feature. Several tests with texture images show that the proposed method outperforms the LBP-based approach in the problem of texture classification.

Since a variety of sound occur in same place and similar sound occurs in other places, the performance of acoustic scene classification is not guaranteed in case of insufficient training data. A Bag of Words (BOW) based histogram feature is foreseen as a method to overcome the problem. However, since the histogram features is made by using a feature distribution, the ordering of sequence of features is ignored. A temporal information such as periodicity and stationarity are also important for acoustic scene classification. In this paper, temporal features about a periodicity and a stationarity are extracted by using a recurrent quantification analysis. In the experiment, performance of the proposed method is shown better than other baseline methods.

Prior research works in indoor-outdoor classification have been conducted based on a simple combination of low-level features. However, since there are many challenging problems due to the extreme variability of the scene contents, most methods proposed recently tend to combine the low-level features with high-level information such as the presence of trees and sky. To extract these regions from videos, we need to conduct additional tasks, which may yield the increasing number of feature dimensions or computational burden. Therefore, an efficient indoor-outdoor scene classification method is proposed in this paper. First, the video is divided into the five same-sized blocks. Then we define and use the edge and color orientation histogram (ECOH) descriptors to represent each sub-block efficiently. Finally, all ECOH values are simply concatenated to generated the feature vector. To justify the efficiency and robustness of the proposed method, a diverse database of over 1200 videos is evaluated. Moreover, we improve the classification performance by using different weight values determined through the learning process.

In this paper, we propose a pothole detection method using various features of intensity and motion. Segmentation, decision steps of pothole detection are processed according to the values which are derived from feature characteristics. For segmentation using intensity, we use a binarization method using histogram to separate pothole region from background. For segmentation using motion, we filter using high pass filter and get standard deviation value. This value is divided by regression value according to camera environment such as photographing angle, height, velocity, etc. We get binary image by histogram based binarization. For decision, candidate regions are decided whether pothole or not using comparison of candidate and background's features. Experimental results show that our proposed pothole detection method has better results than existing methods and good performance in discrimination between pothole and similar patterns.

Human face detection technique plays an important role in computer vision area. It has lots of applications such as face recognition, video surveillance, human computer interface, face image database management, and querying image databases. In this paper, a fast face detection approach using Principal Component Analysis (PCA) and Support Vector Machines (SVM) is proposed based on the previous study on face detection technique. In the proposed detection system, firstly it filter the face potential area using statistical feature which is generated by analyzing the local histogram distribution the detection process is speeded up by eliminating most of the non-face area in this step. In the next step, PCA feature vectors are generated, and then detect whether there are faces present in the test image using SVM classifier. Finally, store the detection results and output the results on the test image. The test images in this paper are from CMU face database. The face and non-face samples are selected from the MIT data set. The experimental results indicate the proposed method has good performance for face detection.

Radar signal identification of electronic warfare is a technology that recognizes the pulse repetition interval (PRI) from a set of pulse description words (PDWs) generated by the signal receiver. Conventionally batch processing is widely used in which a number of PDWs are collected as a unit and identifies PRI from the batch. In this paper, we propose a feature extraction algorithm based on the streaming process. This technique does not wait to form a batch. Whenever a PDW(Pulse Description Word) is generated from the signal receiver, the streaming process tries to form a cluster of PDWs, and makes the DTOA (Difference of Time of Arrival) histogram, finds out the frame PRI based on the concentration ratio, and decides the number of stagger stages. Experiments proved that the proposed algorithm derives stable recognition results as the cluster size increases.
