Today, almost all aspects of life are influenced by technology to simplify these aspects of life. Researching how humans and computers interact is very important to build a good model for better human-computer interaction in the future. Using technology such as computer vision, we can now collect the information we are looking for directly from a human. Humans can use many kinds of modalities to interact with computers. Hands are perhaps the largest source of body language information after the face. To understand the gesture’s meaning, we can use MediaPipe Hands, developed at Google LLC, as a method to track and recognize human hands. However, if we want to understand some kinds of hand gestures using MediaPipe Hands, we need to create a condition using if-else manners. This research tried to collect the wide variety of each hand gesture using the 21 key points in x, y, and z coordinates as a feature. We chose Support Vector Machine (SVM) and Artificial Neural Network (ANN) as classifiers to validate the impact of large sample datasets. This research found that ANN is the best among all the methods we used as a classifier method for the 3D value of 21 key points from the hand skeleton. The accuracy and F1-score from ANN were 98.4% accuracy and 98.2% F1-Score, respectively, representing the best performance for each class of all the methods we used in this research.

Hand gesture is a source of information that contains much information, which has the advantage that this modality does not contain private information as much as information obtained from facial modalities. However, obtaining information from hand gestures still encounters several challenges, one of which is the diversity of gestures within one target class which is influenced by many factors such as the culture and personality of the individual. In this study, we propose a method of combining hand gesture features in the form of keypoints features, convolutional neural network features, and manually generating captions as contexts to improve model performance so that the model can classify hand gestures based on the intent of the hand gesture with context support. As a result, the CNN model, which initially experienced over-fitting when trying to classify hand gestures based on the intent of the hand gesture, can be overcome by this method. Running results show a significant increase in accuracy over training models that just use uni-features, with a model having a training accuracy of 99.95% and a validation accuracy of 99.74%. The final result of the model obtained the ability to understand 6 classes of hand gestures made in 3 classes based on the intent of the hand gestures exhibited when participants try the taste of tea, namely Like, Dislike, and Neutral (So-so).

In this paper, considering the characteristics of hand gestures that occur during a natural, unscripted human conversation, we report the results of experiments involving the data analysis of the video recordings of experiments. The recorded conversations between two subjects and the assistant in the experiments (the first author) are analyzed for findings that might be useful to future human-robot interaction (HRI), findings regarding the recognition of hand gestures in natural conversations. In the experiment, hand gestures that appeared naturally during the conversations were manually selected, and their elapsed times and number of appearances were analyzed. In addition, these unscripted conversations were analyzed with a voice recognition system, and the meanings of the hand gestures that appear in the recorded video were interpreted. It was observed that some gestures were made consciously and others unconsciously. Some gestures appeared multiple times with similar meanings and the same intention, especially gestures involving pointing at something to emphasize a sentence or word. Other observations included that there were times when (i) each subject made different hand gestures to convey the same meaning, (ii) both subjects made the same hand gesture but intended different meanings, and (iii) a specific gesture was made by the same subject but with different intended meanings. After considering the results of these experiments, we conclude that it is better to combine gestures with the utterances at the time in order to interpret their intended meanings correctly.

Indoor localization based on Bluetooth low energy (BLE) beacons has been rapidly developed, and many approaches have been developed to achieve higher estimation accuracy. In these methods, the received signal strength (RSS) is the input. However, the measurement of indoor environments is affected easily; the signal may be reflected and attenuated by obstacles such as the human body, walls, and furniture, which creates a challenge for methods based on signal mapping. In this study, BLE signal characteristics are investigated in an indoor localization setting. An experiment is performed using one BLE beacon and multiple receivers installed at different wall and ceiling positions. The raw RSS is observed, and the relationship between the BLE beacon signal strength characteristics against the human body effect as well as the receiver's placement in the observation area are discussed. Signal mapping is performed, where the signal strength is measured from all receivers simultaneously. The position estimation accuracy is examined based on different data scenarios. The results show that the estimation position estimated by the BLE beacon based on extensive BLE beacon data does not affect the estimation accuracy.

This paper proposes to approach natural hand gestures that occur in natural conversations. Hand gesture recognition in Human-Robot Interaction is considered a preliminary study for the next step, based on the vision system of a humanoid robot. We experimented as a feasibility study on hand gestures recognition in natural conversation. The conversations between an experimental assistant (the first author) and two different subjects (both female) were recorded in the experiment. Each conversation includes two people, one of whom is the subject of the hand gesture detection that appears during the conversation. We manually captured the hand gestures that appear naturally during the session and analyzed their duration and frequency of occurrence from each video. As a result of conversations with two subjects, it was clear that hand gestures significantly impact people's conversations. We observed that hand gestures with the same word or similar meaning appeared several times with the same intention, such as pointing at something and emphasizing a sentence or word. The topic of natural hand-gesture recognition by a robot will be a challenge. Cultural diversity makes the scope of natural hand-gesture broad, but this can be considered a topic in developing the knowledge of human-robot interaction in the future.

The estimation of soil moisture content is required for agriculture, mainly to build the irrigation scheduling model. In this study, we present a smart watering system to deal with various factors derived from the stochastic information in the agricultural operational, i.e., air temperature, air humidity, soil moisture, soil temperature, and light intensity. The methodology consists of exploiting the Internet of Things (IoT) using Low-Bandwidth Distributed Applications (LBDA) in cloud computing to integrate the real data sets collected by the several sensor technologies. We conducted experiments for the watering system used two types of soil and different plant. Here, the Long Short Term Memory Networks (LSTMs) approach in deep learning techniques used to build smart decisions concerning watering requirements and deal with heterogeneous information coming from agricultural environments. Results show that our models can effectively improve the prediction accuracy for the watering system over various soil and plants.

A Speech Emotion Recognition (SER) system can be defined as a collection of methodologies that process and classify speech signals to detect emotions embedded in them [2]. Among the most critical issues to consider in an SER system are: i) definition of the kind of emotions to classify, ii) look for suitable datasets, iii) selection of the proper input features and iv) optimisation of the convenient features. This work will consider four of the well-known dataset in the literature: EmoDB, TESS, SAVEE and RAVDSS. Thus, this study focuses on designing a low-power SER algorithm based on combining one prosodic feature with six spectral features to capture the rhythm and frequency. The proposal compares eleven low-power Classical classification Machine Learning techniques (CML), where the main novelty is optimising the two main parameters of the MFCC spectral feature through the meta-heuristic technique SA: the n_mfcc and the hop_length. The resulting algorithm could be deployed on low-cost embedded systems with limited computational power like a smart speaker. In addition, the proposed SER algorithm will be validated for four well-known SER datasets. The obtained models for the eleven CML techniques with the optimised MFCC features outperforms clearly (more than a 10%) the baseline models obtained with the not-optimised MFCC for the studied datasets.

Considering the increasing number of patients with disabilities, especially of upper extremity, we decided to develop hand rehabilitation virtual reality system for post-stroke patients using leap motion controller. However, as the device has not met the required accuracy of hand position tracking, we created a real-time low-computational cost correction algorithm lessening the problem. This paper outlines the challenges of hand position tracking accuracy identifying the parts contributing to the overall error, proposes a method of correction suitable for each of the parts separately and brings the parts together into an algorithm maximizing the hand position correction. The algorithm was tested on twelve healthy participants in two series of four tasks. Results showed our algorithm improved the hand position accuracy considerably in all the cases.

© 2018 IEEE. In Kansei analysis, impressions of various objects are commonly measured using evaluation words. When using this approach, it is necessary to examine all combinations of three elements: subjects, objects, and evaluation words. However, the exhaustive analysis required is not an easy task because of the enormous number of combinations. Additionally, if it is necessary to reveal the relationship between the impressions and physical features of objects such as colors or shapes, the number of combinations increases enormously and the task becomes unrealistic. In this paper, we introduce a method called the tensor self-organizing map (TSOM) that visualizes the relationships between the elements. We applied the TSOM to Kansei analysis of landscape images and studied how the impressions were dependent on the subjects. We also investigated the relationships between these subject-dependent impressions and the physical features. Through these experiments, we demonstrate that the TSOM can be a useful tool for Kansei analysis.

© 2018 IEEE. During the past couple of years, a considerable number of digital images are gathered by search engines, or uploaded by users in different social websites. These images could contain a variety of variables such as different faces, scenes, and unusual objects. The advancement of digital face recognition algorithms is sensational, recognition algorithms used by some of the social websites are even stronger than most secret service establishments. However, there is always a concern about how to protect the user's privacy when they do not want to be recognized automatically by these services. In this research, a SURF-based face recognition algorithm along with a featurebased attack to mislead this type of scheme is proposed. The recognition algorithm use different machine learning technique along with second layer descriptor counting function which makes it more powerful. However the primary focus of this research is to provide a method which can mislead this type of recognition systems with a smallest possible degradation to the image representation. The experimental results show that the proposed plan is successful to fool the SURF algorithm and its recognition system by 70%.

In this paper, we discuss existing indoor localization approaches, focusing on the signal strength fingerprint approaches, to which belongs the presented study and based on Bluetooth Low Energy signal. The proposed approach employs the Radial Basis Functions (RBF) to create model that describe the real signal strength-position relationship. The present method is fully implemented on a smart phone, namely, offline data collection, model computation and online position estimation. This allow updating the model by collecting more signal data, therefore improving the localization accuracy with small efforts. The presented results shows that updating the model effectively improves the accuracy of estimation.

© 2017 IEEE. In recent years, with the improvement of digital manipulation tools, image forgeries have become a genuine social issue. Copy-move forgery is an important type of digital manipulation which is done by duplicating some parts of the image with the purpose of hiding specific information. Verifying the authenticity of the digital image can become vital for different forensic organizations. In this paper, an efficient copy-move detection algorithm with three level of Ward linkage based clustering is proposed. The proposed algorithm extracts the local image features with the help of Scale-invariant feature transform algorithm (SIFT). In the proposed method, a Ward-based clustering scheme followed by three levels of false-descriptor elimination is applied. The proposed elimination system utilizes Euclidean distance to improve the accuracy of the region detection scheme. The efficiency of the proposed algorithm is examined against several different post-processing attacks such as multilevel forgeries, noises, and JPEG compression. Experimental results illustrate that the proposed algorithm improves the detection accuracy by eliminating false descriptors.

© 2018 IEEE. Currently, automatic face detection systems are widely used in various social media. The improvement of the automated intelligent face recognition can easily result in the invasion of the user 's privacy if the predefined functions for their so- called artificial intelligent systems are designed with no respect to the user privacy, this means that users do not get the right to prevent these types of automatic face detection. The problem does not stop here, and recently some organization attempted to use automated face recognition system as a digital personal judgment tools. For instance, judging if a person is criminal only based on the attributes of his/her face. In the present technology, spreading the personal information such as individual digital images are fast and inevitable. Thus, in this paper, some of the techniques to evade automatic face recognition is investigated. The focused of this article is to highlight the advantages of different Half-Toning algorithms concerning avoiding unwanted automated face detection/recognition. In the experimental phase, the result of varying filtering and modification algorithms compared to the proposed filtering technique.

© 2017 IEEE. Color is a powerful tool to describe and interpret information from an image. Colors can be stored in an array called color palette. In the world of product design, palettes are mostly used to inspire creativeness and Interactive Genetic Algorithm has been widely increased to develop wide creativity solutions and generate new ideas for colors. When it comes to the choice of colors, the users do not normally have a clear idea about it. What users can do is use the color palette that is available as the standard palette and produce a color combination of their own choice. Thereafter, from the creation of a new palette, impression words also be shown to the user appeared to represent matching ideas or feelings from the user about the new palette. The aim of this research is to achieve user satisfaction of color palette and try to assist in the selection process by directing the process of optimizing the color combination. This solution can improve the interface designs in term of enhancing human perception skill.

International Journal of Affective Engineering 17 ( 2 ) 81 - 88 2017年01月

記述言語：英語掲載種別：研究論文（学術雑誌）

The problems facing elderly who are living independently, are considered to be one of the most important motivations of the activity recognition research. The advances in sensing technologies allow collecting several types of data and communicate it wirelessly. However, most existing activity recognition systems requires pre-calculated pattern recognition models. This paper lays the theoretical foundations of a real-time methodology for activity and emotional recognition based on body and environment sensors simultaneously, then tackles one aspect of the method which is the path estimation using chest-mounted IMU sensor, for which a zero velocity update criteria is proposed. Finally path estimation results for sitting down, laying down, falling down and standing up are discussed.

© 2016 IEEE.Here, measures for unfairness in resource allocation problems are studied. The extremity of such measures should match with an intuitive concept of an unfair allocation. To achieve a computational model for unfairness, various fairness models are extended to cover a related meaning of unfairness as well. In addition to the lexicographic maxmax relation, a model based on exponential utilities is introduced. Furthermore, a new mean, the symmetric Lehmer mean is identified as being able to favour allocations restricted to a subset of users only. Case examples of network flow control problems show feasibility of the proposed unfairness measures, as well as specific differences. Especially the symmetric Lehmer mean appears capable to handle unfairness in a much more nuanced way, while lexicographic maxmax appears as the computationally most convenient and also most intuitive measure. In all cases it can be shown that unfair allocations are not always efficient and that there is a price of unfairness as well.

© 2015 IEEE.In this paper, we provide the idea of analyzing the infrared vein patterns in the back of the hand combined with the appendant optical picture of the back of the hand for biometric purposes. We present results of an experiment which will demonstrate differences between near infrared and far infrared images as initial images for creating templates for biometrical purposes. Near infrared images offer a good quality for extracting hand veins on the one hand but contain no thermographic information as far infrared images do. The idea of this paper is to make counterfeit more difficult by using the infrared image with thermographic information and the appendant optical image with spatial information. That is why only far infrared images are useable in this case. This Paper will show a possibility to create a biometrical template based on far infrared images.

We suggest the font generation system consists of font definition phase and font creation phase. For font definition phase, the tool to export font element parameters represented by XML format has implemented. For font creation phase, the font creation application PALETTE (Personal Adapted LETTEr) has designed to emerge various fonts based on user's Kansei without hand drawing and developed as Adobe AIR application. It enables to generate a new font by selecting user's favorite fonts from displayed candidates, save font as an image according to users input text, and reuse stored font to the next font creation. To design PALETTE, we focused on Interactive Genetic Algorithm (IGA) technique to take user's subjective desire on font shape into the system. IGA is well known as a method to use user's subjective evaluation interactively. PALETTE has the following modules; (i) create new font candidates base on general font, or stored font characteristics with Kansei label, (ii) generate new fonts using genetic algorithm which can modify each element of the selected candidates, and (iii) export font image and save font characteristics. In this paper, we explain the font generation system and show the experimental results. © 2010 TSI Press.

Fuzzification of maxmin fairness relation based on subvector dominance degree 査読有り

Köppen M., Yoshida K., Tsuru M.

Proceedings - 2nd International Conference on Intelligent Networking and Collaborative Systems, INCOS 2010 344 - 349 2010年12月

記述言語：英語掲載種別：研究論文（国際会議プロシーディングス）

Maxmin fairness can be characterized as a state obtained from the application of the bottleneck flow control algorithm, allowing for a formally efficient definition of a fairness concept. But a number of problems with the related maxmin fairness vector relation, esp. non-uniqueness of the maximum, preference for improving least components, artefacts appearing in the discrete domain, and lack of numerical representation have already been noted. For this reason, we propose a fuzzy fairness, based on subvector dominance. The fuzzy fairness, here called subvector maxmin dominance degree, is based on the ratio of the number of all maxmin fair dominating subvectors to the number of all possible subvectors. It is shown how this definition extends the maxmin fairness relation, how it helps to solve the problems with maxmin fairness, and how it numerically emphasises fairness states against other states. © 2010 IEEE.
