Texture transfer is a NPR technique for expressing various styles according to source (reference) image. By late 2000s, there are many texture transfer researches. But video base researchers are not active. Moreover, they didn't use important feature like directional information which need to express detail characteristics of target. So, we propose a new method to generate texture transfer animation (using video) with directional effect for maintaining temporal coherence and controlling coherence direction of texture. For maintaining temporal coherence, we use optical flow and confidence map to adapt for occlusion/disocclusion boundaries. And we control direction of texture for taking structure of input. For expressing various texture effects according to different regions, we calculate gradient based on directional weight. With these techniques, our algorithm can make animation result that maintain temporal coherence and express directional texture effect. It is reflect the characteristics of source and target image well. And our result can express various texture directions automatically.

본 논문에서는 실시간 CCD 카메라 입력 영상으로부터 다중 컬러 정보를 이용하여 얼굴 영역을 검출 및 추적하고 기울어진 얼굴을 보정하는 알고리즘을 제안하였다. 제안한 알고리즘은 먼저 획득된 RGB 영상에서 YCbCr컬러 모델과 YIQ컬러 모델로 변환한 후 Cr성분과 I성분을 추출하여 얼굴 피부색을 검출, 얼굴 영역 추출에 사용하였다. 또한 추출된 얼굴 후보 영역에서 수평, 수직 투영(Projection)정보로부터 최종 얼굴 영역으로 검출한 다음 검출된 얼굴 중심 좌표와 이전에 검출된 얼굴 중심 좌표 값을 유클리드언 거리로 얼굴을 추적하였으며 검출된 얼굴로부터 레이블링(Labeling)기법으로 눈 특징자를 검출, 눈의 기울기 각도를 보정함으로써 얼굴 기울기를 보정하였다. 제안한 얼굴 추적 및 기울기 보정 알고리즘을 사용하여 실험한 결과 다중 색상 정보를 사용함으로써 주위환경 변화에 강인하게 실시간 얼굴 영역 김출 및 추적이 가능하였고, 기울어진 얼굴 영상을 자동 보정함으로써 인식에 용이하였다.

Various 2D Shape deformation techniques has been presented recently. Concerning intuitive control of deformation, gradient domain 2D deformation techniques have an advantage over FFD(Free-form deformation) approaches, since they can deform objects with less control points. However, semantic shape properties such as thickness or length are difficult to handle in these approaches due to they treat the whole shape as a simple flat shape without structural meaning. In this paper, we propose a 2D shape deformation algorithm that deforms shapes using thin, deformable skeletal structure called freeform deformation axis (FDA). This concept separates the target shape and the deformable structure and thus enables user to manipulate shapes more intuitively.

Heart sound is used for a basic clinical examination to check for abnormalities in the lungs and heart that can be heard with a stethoscope or phonocardiography. In this paper, we try to find an easier and non-invasive method to diagnose heart diseases using neural network classifier. The classifier has been developed for one normal heart sound and five murmurs by using Shannon entropy and conjugate scaled back propagation algorithm. The experimental results showed that the classification is possible with 1.63185e-6 of classification error.

This paper describes the application of a neural network based adaptive line enhancer (ALE) for enhancement of the weak QRS complex corrupted with background noise. Modified fully-connected recurrent neural network is used as a nonlinear adaptive filter in the ALE. The connecting weights between network nodes as well as the parameters of the node activation function are updated at each iteration using the gradient descent algorithm. The real ECG signal buried with moderate and severe background noise is applied to the ALE. Simulation results show that the neural network based ALE performs well the enhancement of the QRS complex from noisy ECG signals.

As a new type of spectrometer, that based on filters with different transmittance features attracts a lot of attention for its advantages such as small-size, low cost, and simple optical structure. It uses post-processing algorithms to achieve target spectrum reconstruction; therefore, the performance of the spectrometer is severely affected by noise. The influence of noise on the spectral reconstruction results is studied in this paper, and suggestions for solving the spectral reconstruction problem under noisy conditions are given. We first list different spectral reconstruction methods, and through simulations demonstrate that these methods show unsatisfactory performance under noisy conditions. Then we propose to apply the gradient projection for sparse reconstruction (GRSR) algorithm to the spectral reconstruction method. Simulation results show that the proposed method can significantly reduce the influence of noise on the spectral reconstruction process. Meanwhile, the accuracy of the spectral reconstruction results is dramatically improved. Therefore, the practicality of the filter-based spectrometer will be enhanced.

In order to ensure second-order multi-agent systems (MAS) realizing consensus more quickly in a limited time, a new protocol is proposed. In this new protocol, the gradient algorithm of the overall cost function is introduced in the original protocol to enhance the connection between adjacent agents and improve the moving speed of each agent in the MAS. Utilizing Lyapunov stability theory, graph theory and homogeneity theory, sufficient conditions and detailed proof for achieving a finite-time consensus of the MAS are given. Finally, MAS with three following agents and one leading agent is simulated. Moreover, the simulation results indicated that this new protocol could make the system more stable, more robust and convergence faster when compared with other protocols.

3차원 볼륨데이터에서 분할 대상영역의 밝기 값이 다양하면서 밝기 값이 유사한 영역과 인접한 경우 3차원 영역확장(region growing) 방법을 사용하여 영역을 분할하기 위해서는 영역확장의 중요한 요인인 동질성 기준 값의 적절한 선택이 요구된다. 본 논문에서는 영역 복셀(voxel)의 1차 미분 값의 크기인 기울기 크기(gradient magnitude)만으로 영역의 경계를 찾기가 쉽지않은 대상의 분할을 위해 볼륨데이터의 지역적인 밝기 값의 변화의 특징을 고려하면서 분할 대상영역의 복셀의 2차 미분(second partial derivation)을 행렬의 요소(element)로 갖는 Hessian 행렬의 고유치(eigenvalue)를 영역확장의 문턱치 결정에 이용하였다. 제안한 알고리즘은 3차원 영역확장의 결과에 가장 큰 영향을 미치는 적절한 문턱치의 선택으로 대상영역의 분할을 성공적으로 수행하여 3차원 영역확장의 단점을 보완하였다.

Bokeh effect is a stylistic technique that can produce blurring the background of photos. This paper implements to produce a bokeh effect with a single image by post processing. Generating depth map is a key process of bokeh effect, and depth map is an image that contains information relating to the distance of the surfaces of scene objects from a viewpoint. First, this work presents algorithms to determine the depth map from a single input image. Then, we obtain a sparse defocus map with gradient ratio from input image and blurred image. Defocus map is obtained by propagating threshold values from edges using matting Laplacian. Finally, we obtain the blurred image on foreground and background segmentation with bokeh effect achieved. With the experimental results, an efficient image processing method with bokeh effect applied using a single image is presented.

In this paper we propose a new stability theorem and a robust stability condition for linguistic fuzzy model systems in state space. First we define a stability in linear sense. After representing the fuzzy model by a system with disturbances, A necessary and sufficient condition for the stability is derived. This condition is proved to be a sufficient condition of the fuzzy model. The Q in the Lyapunov equation is iteratively adjusted by an gradient-based algorithm to improve its stability test. Finally, stability robustness bounds of a system having modeling error is derived. An example is also included to show that the stability test is powerful.
