Recently, there have been many research efforts proposed on trajectory information. Most of them mainly focus their attention on those objects moving in Euclidean space. Many real-world applications such as telematics, however, deal with objects that move only over road networks, which are highly restricted for movement. Thus, the existing methods targeting Euclidean space cannot be directly applied to the road network space. This paper proposes a new clustering scheme for a large volume of trajectory information of objects moving over road networks. To the end, we first define a trajectory on a road network as a sequence of road segments a moving object has passed by. Next, we propose a similarity measurement scheme that judges the degree of similarity by considering the total length of matched road segments. Based on such similarity measurement, we propose a new clustering algorithm for trajectories by modifying and adjusting the FastMap and hierarchical clustering schemes. To evaluate the performance of the proposed clustering scheme, we also develop a trajectory generator considering the observation that most objects tend to move from the starting point to the destination point along their shortest path, and perform a variety of experiments using the trajectories thus generated. The performance result shows that our scheme has the accuracy of over 95% in comparison with that judged by human beings.

Semantic clustering is important to various fields in the modem information society. In this work we applied the Independent Component Analysis method to the extraction of the features of latent concepts. We used verb and object noun information and formulated a concept as a linear combination of verbs. The proposed method is shown to be suitable for our framework and it performs better than a hierarchical clustering in latent semantic space for finding out invisible information from the data.

공간 색인의 하나인 그리드 파일은 공간 데이터 영역을 격자 형태의 셀로 분할하여 구성하는데 특히, 셀들의 크기가 모두 동일한 값으로 고정되어진 것을 고정 그리드(fixed grid)라고 한다. 셀들의 크기가 고정된으로 인해 샐 분할선 상에 객체가 존재하는 경우가 자주 발생하게 되고 이러한 객체들은 하나 이상의 셀에 의해 중복으로 참조된다. 중복 참조 객체는 1/10 시간을 증가시켜 질의 처리 시 성능 저하의 주요한 원인이 된다. 따라서 중복 객체를 효율적으로 처리 할 수 있는 클러스터링 알고리즘의 고안이 필요하다. 이 논문에서는 중복 참조 객체를 처리하기 위한 객체 클러스터링(Object clustering)과 셀 단위로 클러스터하기 위한 셀 클러스터링(Cell clustering) 알고리즘을 구현한다. 그리고 공간 질의 수행 시에 각 클러스터기법들에 대한 성능을 평가한다.

The zone clustering problem arising from several area such as deciding the optimal location of ambient measuring stations is to devide the 2-dimensional area into several sub areas in which included individual zone shows simimlar properties. In general, the optimal solution of this problem is very hard to obtain. Therefore, instead of finding an optimal solution, the generation of near optimal solution within the limited time is more meaningful. In this study, the combination of a genetic algorithm and the modified k-means method is used to obtain the near optimal solution. To exploit the genetic algorithm effectively, a representation of chromsomes and appropriate genetic operators are proposed. The k-means method which is originally devised to solve the object clustering problem is modified to improve the solutions obtained from the genetic algorithm. The experiment shows that the proposed method generates the near optimal solution efficiently.

Biclustering is a method to extract subsets of objects and features from a dataset which are characterized in some way. In contrast to traditional clustering algorithms which group objects similar in a whole feature set, biclustering methods find groups of objects which have similar values or patterns in some features. Both in clustering and biclustering, validating how much the result is informative or reliable is a very important task. Whereas validation methods of cluster solutions have been studied actively, there are only few measures to validate bicluster solutions. Furthermore, the existing validation methods of bicluster solutions have some critical problems to be used in general cases. In this paper, we review several well-known validation measures for cluster and bicluster solutions and discuss their limitations. Then, we propose several improved validation indices as modified versions of existing ones.

In this paper, an object recognition method based on the depth information from the RGB-D camera, Xtion, is proposed for an indoor mobile robot. First, the RANdom SAmple Consensus (RANSAC) algorithm is applied to the point cloud obtained from the RGB-D camera to detect and remove the floor points. Next, the removed point cloud is classified by the k-means clustering method as each object's point cloud, and the normal vector of each point is obtained by using the k-d tree search. The obtained normal vectors are classified by the trained multi-layer perceptron as 18 classes and used as features for object recognition. To distinguish an object from another object, the similarity between them is measured by using Levenshtein distance. To verify the effectiveness and feasibility of the proposed object recognition method, the experiments are carried out with several similar boxes.

The construction industry is suffering from aging workers, frequent accidents, as well as low productivity. With the rapid development of information technologies in recent years, automatic construction, especially automatic cranes, is regarded as a promising solution for the above problems and attracting more and more attention. However, in practice, limited by the complexity and dynamics of construction environment, manual inspection which is time-consuming and error-prone is still the only way to recognize the search object for the operation of crane. To solve this problem, an image-processing-based automated object recognition approach is proposed in this paper, which is a fusion of Convolutional-Neutral-Network (CNN)-based and traditional object detections. The search object is firstly extracted from the background by the trained Faster R-CNN. And then through a series of image processing including Canny, Hough and Endpoints clustering analysis, the vertices of the search object can be determined to locate it in 3D space uniquely. Finally, the features (e.g., centroid coordinate, size, and color) of the search object are extracted for further recognition. The approach presented in this paper was implemented in OpenCV, and the prototype was written in Microsoft Visual C++. This proposed approach shows great potential for the automatic operation of crane. Further researches and more extensive field experiments will follow in the future.

Recently, self-driving research has been actively studied in various institutions. Accurate recognition is important because information about surrounding objects is needed for safe autonomous driving. This study mainly deals with the signal processing of LiDAR among sensors for object recognition. LiDAR is a sensor that is widely used for high recognition accuracy. First, we clustered and tracked objects by predicting relative position and speed of objects. The characteristic points of all objects were extracted using point cloud data of each objects through proposed algorithm. The Classification between vehicle and pedestrians is estimated using number of characteristic points and distances among characteristic points. The algorithm for classifying cars and pedestrians was implemented and verified using test vehicle equipped with LiDAR sensors. The accuracy of proposed object classification algorithm was about 97%. The classification accuracy was improved by about 13.5% compared with deep learning based algorithm.

K-means algorithm is one of the most popular and widely used clustering method because it is easy to implement and very efficient. However, this method has the limitation to be used with fixed number of clusters because of only considering the intra-cluster distance to evaluate the data clustering solutions. Silhouette is useful and stable valid index to decide the data clustering solution with number of clusters to consider the intra and inter cluster distance for unsupervised data. However, this valid index has high computational burden because of considering quality measure for each data object. The objective of this paper is to propose the fast and simple speed-up method to overcome this limitation to use silhouette for the effective large-scale data clustering. In the first step, the proposed method calculates and saves the distance for each data once. In the second step, this distance matrix is used to calculate the relative distance rate ($V_j$) of each data j and this rate is used to choose the suitable number of clusters without much computation time. In the third step, the proposed efficient heuristic algorithm (Group search optimization, GSO, in this paper) can search the global optimum with saving computational capacity with good initial solutions using $V_j$ probabilistically for the data clustering. The performance of our proposed method is validated to save significantly computation time against the original silhouette only using Ruspini, Iris, Wine and Breast cancer in UCI machine learning repository datasets by experiment and analysis. Especially, the performance of our proposed method is much better than previous method for the larger size of data.
