Multi-modal Open World User Identification

User identification is an essential step in creating a personalised long-term interaction with robots. This requires learning the users continuously and incrementally, possibly starting from a state without any known user. In this article, we describe a multi-modal incremental Bayesian network with online learning, which is the first method that can be applied in such scenarios. Face recognition is used as the primary biometric, and it is combined with ancillary information, such as gender, age, height, and time of interaction to improve the recognition. The Multi-modal Long-term User Recognition Dataset is generated to simulate various human-robot interaction (HRI) scenarios and evaluate our approach in comparison to face recognition, soft biometrics, and a state-of-the-art open world recognition method (Extreme Value Machine). The results show that the proposed methods significantly outperform the baselines, with an increase in the identification rate up to 47.9% in open-set and closed-set scenarios, and a significant decrease in long-term recognition performance loss. The proposed models generalise well to new users, provide stability, improve over time, and decrease the bias of face recognition. The models were applied in HRI studies for user recognition, personalised rehabilitation, and customer-oriented service, which showed that they are suitable for long-term HRI in the real world.

RESEARCH INFORMATION SYSTEM OF IMAGE RECOGNITION

Data classification in presence of noise can lead to much worse results than expected for pure patterns. In paper was investigated problem of the research is the process of user recognition and identification in the video sequence. The main contributions presented in this paper are experimental examination of influence of different types of noise and to the increase the security of an IT company by developing a computer system for recognizing and identifying users in the video sequence. Based on the study of methods and algorithms for finding faces in images, the Viola-Jones method, wavelet transform and the method of principal components were chosen. These methods are among the best in terms of the ratio of recognition efficiency and work speed. However, the training of classifiers is very slow, but the face search results are very fast.

Visual Algorithm of VR E-Sports for Online Health Care

The need for non-face-to-face online health care has emerged through the era of “untact”. However, there is a lack of standardization work and research cases on the exercise effect of immersive content. In this study, the possibility of the exercise effect of VR e-sports among e-sports cases were presented through a visual algorithm analysis. In addition, the evaluation criteria were established. The research method compares and analyzes e-sports cases and VR e-sports cases by applying existing evaluation research cases. It also sets up a new evaluation standard. As for the analysis result, the device immersion method and interaction range were set through an algorithm analysis; FOV and frame immersion were set through typification; the user recognition method and interaction method were set through the visual diagram. Then, each derived result value was quantified and a new evaluation criterion was proposed.

Recognition Using DNN with Bacterial Foraging Optimization Using MFCC Coefficients

Speech is an important mode of communication for people. For a long time, researchers have been working hard to develop conversational machines which will communicate with speech technology. Voice recognition is a part of a science called signal processing. Speech recognition is becoming more successful for providing user authentication. The process of user recognition is becoming more popular now a days for providing security by authenticating the users. With the rising importance of automated information processing and telecommunications, the usefulness of recognizing an individual from the features of user voice is increasing. In this paper, the three stages of speech recognition processing are defined as pre-processing, feature extraction and decoding. Speech comprehension has been significantly enhanced by using foreign languages. Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR) aims to translate text to speech. Speaker recognition is the method of recognizing an individual through his/her voice signals. The new speaker initially privileges identity for speaker authentication, and then the stated model is used for identification. The identity argument is approved when the match is above a predefined threshold. The speech used for these tasks may be either text-dependent or text-independent. The article uses Bacterial Foraging Optimization Algorithm (BFO) for accurate speech recognition through Mel Frequency Cepstral Coefficients (MFCC) model using DNN. Speech recognition efficiency is compared to that of the conventional system.

A Study on User Recognition Using the Generated Synthetic Electrocardiogram Signal

Electrocardiogram (ECG) signals are time series data that are acquired by time change. A problem with these signals is that comparison data that have the same size as the registration data must be acquired every time. A network model of an auxiliary classifier based generative adversarial neural network that is capable of generating synthetic ECG signals is proposed to resolve the data size inconsistency problem. After constructing comparison data with various combinations of the real and generated synthetic ECG signal cycles, a user recognition experiment was performed by applying them to an ensemble network of parallel structure. Recognition performance of 98.5% was demonstrated when five cycles of real ECG signals were used. Moreover, 98.7% and 97% accuracies were provided when the first cycle of synthetic ECG signals and the fourth cycle of real ECG signals were repetitively used as the last cycle, respectively, in addition to the four cycles of real ECG. When two cycles of synthetic ECG signals were used with three cycles of real ECG signals, 97.2% accuracy was shown. When the last third cycle was repeatedly used with the three cycles of real ECG signals, the accuracy was 96%, which was 1.2% lower than the performance obtained while using the synthetic ECG. Therefore, even if the size of the registration data and that of the comparison data are not consistent, the generated synthetic ECG signals can be applied to a real life environment, because a high recognition performance is demonstrated when they are applied to an ensemble network of parallel structure.
