This paper proposes a robust human detection method irrespective of their pose variation using the multiple oriented 2D elliptical filters (MO2DEFs). The MO2DEFs can detect the humans regardless of their poses unlike existing object oriented scale adaptive filter (OOSAF). To overcome OOSAF's limitation, we introduce the MO2DEFs whose shapes look like the oriented ellipses. We perform human detection by applying four different 2D elliptical filters with specific orientations to the 2D spatial-depth histogram and then by taking the thresholds over the filtered histograms. In addition, we determine the human pose by using convolution results which are computed by using the MO2DEFs. We verify the human candidates by either detecting the face or matching head-shoulder shapes over the estimated rotation. The experimental results showed that the accuracy of pose angle estimation was about 88%, the human detection using the MO2DEFs outperformed that of using the OOSAF by $15{\sim}20%$ especially in case of the posed human.

The purpose of this study was to investigate muscle activity of cervical erector spinae & upper trapezius while using a smartphone according to anterior pelvic tilt & posterior pelvic tilt in sitting position. & we also want to obtain basic data necessary for development of IoT devices. Fifteen healthy men & women aged 20-30 were enolled, After anterior pelvic tilt & posterior pelvic tilt in sitting position were adjusted, they used a smartphone for 5 minutes & EMG signal was measured simultaneously. We used median 3 minutes of measured EMG signal. The results of this study were as follows: In the sitting position, the use of smartphone in anterior pelvic tilt had significantly lower %RVC values in both cervical erector spinae (p <.001), left upper trapezius (p <.001) & right upper trapezius (p <.002) in comparison with posterior pelvic tilt. This means that anterior pelvic tilt make vertebrae maintain normal curvature & prevent forward head posture occurred while using a smartphone. It reduces loads around neck & shoulders, so that %RVC value is significantly lowered. In the future, new posture corrected IoT devices with an aspect of pelvic tilt should be developed.

In this paper, we present a novel local descriptor, Local Prominent Directional Pattern (LPDP), to represent the description of facial images for gender recognition purpose. To achieve a clearly discriminative representation of local shape, presented method encodes a target pixel with the prominent directional variations in local structure from an analysis of statistics encompassed in the histogram of such directional variations. Use of the statistical information comes from the observation that a local neighboring region, having an edge going through it, demonstrate similar gradient directions, and hence, the prominent accumulations, accumulated from such gradient directions provide a solid base to represent the shape of that local structure. Unlike the sole use of gradient direction of a target pixel in existing methods, our coding scheme selects prominent edge directions accumulated from more samples (e.g., surrounding neighboring pixels), which, in turn, minimizes the effect of noise by suppressing the noisy accumulations of single or fewer samples. In this way, the presented encoding strategy provides the more discriminative shape of local structures while ensuring robustness to subtle changes such as local noise. We conduct extensive experiments on gender recognition datasets containing a wide range of challenges such as illumination, expression, age, and pose variations as well as sketch images, and observe the better performance of LPDP descriptor against existing local descriptors.

본 연구는 공간적 정보의 청각적 제시 가능성을 확인하기 위해 머리전달함수(head-related transfer function: HRTF)를 통해 생성된 3D 사운드를 가상공간상 대상 위치의 직각형태(orthogonal pattern), 혹은 대각형태(diagonal pattern)의 조합으로 배열하여 투시장치(See-Through HMD)로 증강현실을 경험하고 있는 사용자 과제수행의 정확성을 측정하였다. 본 연구에서 실시한 실험들의 결과를 종합하면, 3D 사운드로 대상의 위치 정보를 제시할 때는 사용자로부터의 방향은 직각으로 위치시키는 정보 배열이 정확성을 확보할 수 있고, 또한 가상적 깊이를 이용하여 정보를 배열하는 것도 그 깊이를 구분할 수 있으나 정확성이 떨어짐을 확인하였다. 특히 보다 현실적인 과제 상황에서의 수행을 비교하기 위해 일차과제(primary task)를 하는 동안 제시된 청각자극 조건에서 이런 정확성의 차이가 마찬가지로 나타났다. 이런 결과를 통해 3D 사운드로 대상의 위치와 같은 공간적 정보를 제시 가능한 최적의 배열 형태를 제안하는데, 이는 어떤 패턴으로 정보를 구조화하여 제시하느냐에 따라 청각적 위치 정보 제시의 성공 여부가 결정된다는 것을 의미한다.

최근 국내에서는 상용화된 뇌파기반 인터페이스(BCI) 구현을 위한 연구가 활발히 진행되고 있다. 이에 본 논문에서는 안전한 비침습형 뇌파 측정 방법을 사용하여 뇌전도(EEG)를 측정하고 증폭된 데이터를 사용하여 RC카의 4방향 제어가 가능한 알고리즘을 제안한다. 뇌파측정기로 수집된 데이터 셋은 고속 푸리에 변환을 거쳐 사전 정의된 7가지 뇌파의 필터를 통해 집중도와 이완도를 검출하게 된다. 검출된 데이터는 아두이노 우노에 연결된 원격컨트롤러를 통하여 RC카의 전진 및 후진 제어를 담당한다. 또한 추가로 설치된 자이로센서를 통해 입력된 전자신호는 칼만 필터를 이용하여 좌회전 및 우회전 제어를 담당한다. 훈련된 실험자에 의해 실내 외에서 검출된 뇌파가 각기 다른 특성과 머리 회전만으로 상황을 구분하여 RC카 제어를 할 수 있음을 확인하였다.

The method of 3D sound realization using 2 speakers provides two advantages: cheap and easy to build. In the case, crosstalk between 2 speakers has to be eliminated. To calculate and remove the effect of the crosstalk it is essential to find a rotation angle of human head correctly. In the paper, we suggest an algorithm to find the head angle of 2 channel system. We first detect a face area of the given image using Haar-like feature. After that, the eve detection using pre-processor and morphology method. Finally, we calculate the face rotation angle with the face andi the eye location. As a result of the experiment on various face images, the proposed method improves the efficiency much better than the conventional methods.

Companies and consumers are highly interested in online activities such as word-of-mouth(W.O.M) as marketing paradigm moved to online context. In this study, the research identified major variables affecting product review reference rate online and analyzed the difference based on those variables. According to the results, remarkable differences were discovered in four variable such as 'brand reference', 'review symbol', 'affirmation' and 'information offering'. In addition, the researcher found 'brand reference' and 'information offering' are most important factors deciding review reference rate using regression tree analysis method. Based on the results, the practical implications and further research directions for utilizing consumer online W.O.M were discussed.

Stellate ganglion block(SGB) is a widely used sympathetic block to diagnose or treat various painful conditions. We experienced a rare case who exhihited a contralateral Horner's syndrome following SGB. A 64-year-old female patient suffering from postherpetic neuralgia on mandibular branch of trigeminal nerve visited our pain clinic. She complained of severe burning and shooting pain on right side lower lip, ear and temporal area. We modified her previous medications and performed repeated right SGB daily, in combination with mandibular or mental and auriculotemporal nerve blocks twice a week. Her symptoms were progressively improved. A contralateral Horner's syndrome occured after the thirteenth SGB, which was performed under several attempts in the same manner and the same physician. She had no evidence of subarachnoid or brachial plexus blocks. She did not need any special treatment and returned home 2 hours later. Subsquent blocks were followed on ipsilateral Horner's syndromes.

본 논문은 "주역(周易)" 원도(圓道)의 기본원리(基本原理)를 이용하여 임독맥(任督脈)이 순환(循環)하는 원도(圓道)의 특징을 논한 것이다. "건(乾)은 머리가 되고,곤(坤)은 배가 된다"는 것과 "사람 몸의 음양으로 말하면 등은 양(陽)이 되고 배는 음(陰)이 된다."는 규칙에 의하여,임맥(任脈)은 음효(陰爻)에 속하고 독맥(督脈)은 양효(陽爻)에 속한다고 보면 임독(任督) 이맥(二脈)이 건곤(乾坤) 이괘(二卦)와 같으니 십이경맥(十二經脈)의 부모(父母)가 된다고 볼 수 있다. 임독(任督) 이맥(二脈)이 서로 만나는 구조는 순환하고 포괄하며 폐쇄된 원도(圓道)의 형식을 이루고 있다. 위로 향하여 순환하는 것은 이미 임맥(任脈)은 오르고 독맥(督脈)은 내려가는 (정방향의) 영기(營氣)의 순환방식이 존재할 뿐만 아니라 또한 독맥(督脈)은 오르고 임맥(任脈)은 내려가는 (반대방향의) 원기(元氣)의 순환 방식도 존재하므로 정(正)과 반(反)이 서로 혼합(混合)된 태극의 양식을 구성하고 있다. 임독(任督)은 또한 생명(生命)이 기원(起源)하는 기초(基礎)이며 곡기(穀氣) 이도(二道)의 요로(要路)이며 기기(氣機) 승강(升降)의 동력(動力)이며 삼초명문(三焦命門)의 지도리이고, 생리(生理), 병리(病理)와 양생(養生), 치료(治療) 등에 있어서 모두 십이정경(十二正經)의 강령이 된다.
