This paper presents a method for facial feature representation and recognition from the Covariance Matrices of the Gabor-filtered images. Gabor filters are a very powerful tool for processing images that respond to different local orientations and wave numbers around points of interest, especially on the local features on the face. This is a very unique attribute needed to extract special features around the facial components like eyebrows, eyes, mouth and nose. The Covariance matrices computed on Gabor filtered faces are adopted as the feature representation for face recognition. Geodesic distance measure is used as a matching measure and is preferred for its global consistency over other methods. Geodesic measure takes into consideration the position of the data points in addition to the geometric structure of given face images. The proposed method is invariant and robust under rotation, pose, or boundary distortion. Tests run on random images and also on publicly available JAFFE and FRAV3D face recognition databases provide impressively high percentage of recognition.

In this paper, the algorithm that recognizes the gesture by configuring the feature information obtained through Improved Higher Order Local Correlation Features as low dimensional gesture symbol was described. Since the proposed method doesn't require a lot of computations compared to the existing geometric feature based method or appearance based methods and it can maintain high recognition rate by using the minimum information, it is very well suited for real-time system establishment.

Feature Simplification is an essential method for multiple representations of spatial features in GIS. However, spatial features re various, complex and a alrge size. Among spatial features which describe spatial information. linear feature is the msot common. Therefore, an efficient linear feature simplification method is most critical for spatial feature simplification in GIS. This paper propose an original method, by which the problem of linear feature simplification is mapped into the signal processing field. This method avoids conventional geometric computing in existing methods and exploits the advantageous properties of wavelet transform. Experimental results are presented to show that the proposed method outperforms the existing methods and achieves the time complexity of O(n), where n is the number of points of a linear feature. Furthermore, this method is not bound to two-dimension but can be extended to high-dimension space.

Not all line or point features capable of being extracted by sonar sensors from cluttered home environments are useful for simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM) due to their ambiguity because it is difficult to determine the correspondence of line or point features with previously registered feature. Confused line and point features in cluttered environments leads to poor SLAM performance. We introduce a sonar feature structure suitable for a cluttered environment and the extended Kalman filter (EKF)-based SLAM scheme. The reliable line feature is expressed by its end points and engaged togather in EKF SLAM to overcome the geometric limits and maintain the map consistency. Experimental results demonstrate the validity and robustness of the proposed method.

A feature-based inspection planning system is proposed in this research to develop more efficient measuring methodology for the OMM(On-Machine Measurement) or CMM(coordinate Measuring Machine) for complicated workpiece having many primitive form features. This paper is proposed solution that optimum inspection sequence of the objective features. The sequences are determined by analyzing the feature information such as the nearest relationship and the possible probe-approach direction(PAD) of the features, and forming feature groups. A series of heuristic rules are developed to accomplish it. Also, each feature is decomposed into its constituent geometric elements for inspection process, and then the number of sampling points, location of the measuring points, optimum probing path are determined.

A feature-based inspection planning system is proposed in this research to develop more efficient measuring methodology for the OMM (On-machine measurement) for complicated workpiece having many primitive form features. This paper focuses on the development of the CAIP (computer-aided inspection system) methodologies. The optimum inspection sequences for the features are determined by analyzing the feature information such as the nested relations and the possible probe approaching directions of the features, and forming feature groups. A series of heuristic rules are developed to accomplish it. Also, each feature is decomposed into its constituent geometric elements, and then the number of sampling points, the locations of the measuring point, the optimum probing path are determined by applying the fuzzy logic, Hammersley's method, and the TSP algorithm. To verify the proposed methodologies, simulations are carried out and the results are analyzed.

컴퓨터 비전을 이용한 다양한 응용 분야에 있어서, 특징점을 이용한 응용 분야가 많이 이루어지고 있다. 그 중에 Global feature는 표현의 위험성과 부정확성으로 인해서 많이 사용되고 있지 않으며, Local feature를 이용한 연구가 주로 이루고 있다. 그 중에 SURF(Speeded-Up Robust Features) 알고리즘은 다수의 영상에서 같은 물리적 위치에 있는 동일한 특징점을 찾아서 매칭하는 방법으로 널리 알려진 특징점 매칭 알고리즘이다. 하지만 SURF 알고리즘을 이용하여 특징점을 매칭하여 정합 쌍을 구하였을 때 매칭되는 특징점들의 정확도가 떨어지는 단점이 있다. 본 논문에서는 특징점 매칭 알고리즘인 SURF를 사용하여 대응되는 특징점들을 들로네 삼각형의 기하학적 특징을 이용하여 정확도가 높은 특징점을 분류하여 SURF 알고리즘의 매칭되는 대응점들의 정확도를 높이는 방법을 제안한다.

A way of quantitatively describing the tissue architecture we have investigated when developing a computer program for malignancy grading of transitional cell bladder carcinoma. The minimum spanning trees, MST was created by connecting the center points of the nuclei in the tissue section image. These nuclei were found by thresholding the image at an automatically determined threshold followed by a connected component labeling and a watershed algorithm for separation of overlapping nuclei. Clusters were defined in the MST by thresholding the edge lengths. For these clusters geometric and densitometric features were measures. These features were compared by multivariate statistical methods to the subjective grading by the pathologists and the resulting correspondence was 85% on a material of 40 samples.

The synthesis of supplementary features of injection molded parts has been done empirically, since it requires profound knowledge about the features' moldability and causal effects on the properties of the part, which are not available to designers through current CAD systems. RIBBER is a knowledge module which contains knowledge to permit non-experts as well as mold design experts to generate acceptable supplementary features of injection molded parts. A knowledge-based CAD system is constructed by adding the knowledge module, RIBBER, for mold feature synthesis and appropriate CAE programs for mold design analysis to an existing geometric modeler in order to provide designers, at the initial design stage, with comprehensive process knowledge-based CAD system is a new tool which enables the concurrent design and CIM with integrated and balanced design decisions at the initial design stage of injection molding.

Point-based methods with experienced human operators are processed well in traditional photogrammetric activities but not the autonomous environment of digital photogrammetry. To develop more robust and accurate techniques, higher level objects of straight linear features accommodating element other than points are adopted instead of points in aerial triangulation. Even though recent advanced algorithms provide accurate and reliable linear feature extraction, extracting linear features is more difficult than extracting a discrete set of points which can consist of any form of curves. Control points which are the initial input data and break points which are end points of piecewise curves are easily obtained with manual digitizing, edge operators or interest operators. Employing high level features increase the feasibility of geometric information and provide the analytical and suitable solution for the advanced computer technology.
