Recently, most presentations have been presented on the screen using the computer. This paper suggests that the computer can be controlled by the gesturing recognition, without the help of any person or tools. If we use only information in the form of images, we should have a high-resolution camera for capturing the images and a computer that can treat high-resolution images. However, this paper will present a solution whereby a low-resolution camera can be used at the stage. It uses the supersonic sensor to trace the presenter's location and a low-resolution camera for capturing the necessary limited and small area. The gesture is defined by the number of fingers and one's hand positions which are recognized by the Erosion / Dilation and Subtraction algorithm. The system this paper addresses has improved 13%, when comparing tests between the image-only data system and this paper's system. The gesture recognition tests have a 98% success rate.

License plate recognition system for an exclusive bus-lane is made of 5 core parts which are vehicle detection, image acquisition individual character extraction, character recognition and data transmission. Among them, the accuracy of license plate extraction can bring effect significantly to the accuracy of a whole system recognition rate also the more exact extraction of license plate is required in various weather and environment conditions. Therefore in this paper we propose a plat extraction algorithm that makes pyramid structure to reduced the extraction processing time binarizes plate's template region using adaptive thresholding extracts candidate region containing plate, and verifies a final region using plate character distribution characteristics among the candidates. Experimenal results were exactly extracted the license plate region by using proposed method to the image obtained in an exclusive bus-lane with various weather and environment conditions.

This paper proposes a real-time algorithm of recognizing speed limit signs for intelligent vehicles. Contrary to previous works which use all the pixel values in the ROI (Region Of Interest) after preprocessing image at ROI and need a lot of operations, the proposed algorithm uses fewer DCT coefficients in the ROI as features of each image to reduce the number of operations. Choosing a portion of DCT coefficients which satisfy discriminant criteria for recognition, the proposed algorithm recognizes the speed limit signs using the information obtained in the selected features through LDA and MD. It selects one having the highest probability among the recognition results calculated by accumulating the classification results of consecutive individual frames. Experimental results show that the recognition rate for consecutive frames reaches to 100% with test images. When compared with the previous algorithm, the numbers of multiply and add operations are reduced by 58.6% and 38.3%, respectively.

The potential of neural networks for the recognition of the printed Korean characters is examined. In spite of good classification capability of neural networks, it is difficult to train a neural network to recognize Korean characters. The difficulty is due to a large number of Korean characters, the similarities among the characters, and the large number of data from the character images. To reduce the input image data, DC components are extracted from each input images. These preprocessed data are used as input to the neural network. The output nodes are composed to represent the characteristics of Korean characters. A MLP (multilayer perceptron) with one hidden layer was trained with a modified BEP algorithm, This method gives good recognition rate for the standard positioned characters of more than 2,300. The result shows that neural networks are well suited for the recognition of printed Korean characters.

This paper defines a distance graph for a hand region in a depth image and proposes an algorithm detecting finger using it. The distance graph is a graph expressing the hand contour with angles and Euclidean distances between the center of palm and the hand contour. Since the distance graph has local maximum at fingertips' position, we can detect finger points and recognize the number of them. The hand contours are always divided into 360 angles and the angles are aligned with the center of the wrist as a starting point. And then the proposed algorithm can well detect fingers without influence of the size and orientation of the hand. Under some limited recognition test conditions, the recognition test's results show that the recognition rate is 100% under 1~3 fingers and 98% under 4~5 fingers and that the failure case can also be recognized by simple conditions to be available to add.

We propose an automatic modulation recognition scheme which extracts pre-defined key features from the received signal and then applies equal gain combining method to determine the used modulation. Moreover, we compare and analyze the performance of the proposed algorithm with that of decision-theoretic algorithm. Our scheme extracts five pre-defined key features from each data segment, a data unit for the key feature extraction, which are then averaged over all the segments to recognize the modulation according to the decision procedure. We check the performance of the proposed algorithm through computer simulations for analog modulations such as AM, FM, SSB and for digital modulations such as FSK2, FSK4, PSK2, and PSK4, by measuring recognition success rate varying SNR and data collection time. The result shows that the performance of the proposed scheme is comparable to that of the decision-theoretic algorithm with less complexity.

This paper presents how to recognize the new-type vehicle license plate using multi-link recognizer after extract the features from characters. In order to assist this task, this paper proposed FE-MCBP to recognize each character that got through image preprocess, extract range of vehicle license plate and extract process of each character. FE-MCBP is the recognizer based on the features of the character, The recognizer is employed to identify the new-type vehicle licence plates which have both the hangul and the arabic numeral characters. And its recognition rate is improved 9.7 percent than the back propagation recognizer before. Also it makes use of extract of linear component and region coordinate generation technology to normalize a image of the tilted vehicle license plate. The recognition system of the new-type vehicle license plate make possible recognize a image of the tilted vehicle license plate when using this system. Also, this system can recognize the tilted or imperfect vehicle licence plates.

The purpose of this study is to seek the recognition and development method of the competency assessment in order to set up the competency assessment system introduced for the manager promotion in B metropolitan city. The following conclusion were obtained by studying the recognition of competency assesment system of candidates for promotion and non-candidates. First, it is found that non-candidates have a higher recognition of the necessity of competency assessment system and its credibility, fairness and influence on relieving nepotism than candidates for promotion. Second, competency factors that recognized to be necessary for the performance of manager's role were direction guidance, fostering members, integrative thinking and communication in sequence by candidates for promotion, while direction guidance, communication, integrative thinking and management of organization in sequence the non-candidates. Third, in terms of the operational aspect of the competency assessment system, both candidates and non-candidates wanted a pass rate of 70~90%. And the time required for the assessment task was most favored for 1~2hrs, and the judges of the competency assessment were preferred in the order of professors, public official, consultants, and headhunters. Fourth, $1^{st}$ candidates than non-candidates recognized that the person who are from $5^{th}$ or $7^{th}$ class appointment are younger, have high education, are better at presenting, are in administrative positions, and are more optimistic would be more advantageous in competency assessment.

Multiple-model based speech recognition framework (MMSR) has been known to be very successful in speech recognition. Since it uses multiple hidden Markov modes (HMMs) that corresponds to various noise types and signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) values, the selected acoustic model can have a close match with the test noisy speech. However, since the number of HMM sets is limited in practical use, the acoustic mismatch still remains as a problem. In this study, we experimentally determined the optimal SNR mapping between the test noisy speech and the HMM set to mitigate the mismatch between them. Improved performance was obtained by employing the SNR mapping instead of using the estimated SNR from the test noisy speech. When we applied the proposed method to the MMSR, the experimental results on the Aurora 2 database show that the relative word error rate reduction of 6.3% and 9.4% was achieved compared to a conventional MMSR and multi-condition training (MTR), respectively.
