The conventional object tracking techniques using PTZ camera detects object movements by analyzing acquired image. However, this technique requires expensive hardware devices to perform a complex image processing. And it is occasionally hard to detect object movements, if an acquired image is low quality or image acquisition is impossible. In this paper, we proposes a smart security CCTV system applying to wireless sensor network technique based on IEEE 802.15.4 standard to overcome the problems of conventional object tracking technique, which enables to track suspicious objects by detecting object movements and GPS data in sensor node. This system enables an efficient control of PTZ camera to observe a wide area, decreasing image processing complexity. Also, wireless sensor network is implemented using mesh networks to increase the efficiency of installing sensor node.

Gas leak detection system is a key to minimize the loss of life due to the explosiveness and toxicity of gas. Most of the leak detection systems detect by gas sensors or thermal imaging cameras. To improve the performance of gas leak detection system using single-modal methods, the paper propose multimodal approach to gas sensor data and thermal camera data in developing a gas type identification model. MultimodalGasData, a multimodal open-dataset, is used to compare the performance of the four models developed through multimodal approach to gas sensors and thermal cameras with existing models. As a result, 1D CNN and GasNet models show the highest performance of 96.3% and 96.4%. The performance of the combined early fusion model of 1D CNN and GasNet reached 99.3%, 3.3% higher than the existing model. We hoped that further damage caused by gas leaks can be minimized through the gas leak detection system proposed in the study.

우리 춤은 우리 고유의 정서를 담고 있는 종합예술이므로 우리 춤을 분석하고 이해하는 것은 큰 의미가 있다. 본 논문에서는 기존의 춤 동작의 정량적인 분석을 통한 감정인식 기술을 이용하여 우리 춤에 내포된 감정 패턴의 변화를 살펴본다. 먼저 한국 전통춤으로부터 무용전문가들의 정성적 분석에 기반하여 추출된 우리 춤사위를 정해진 각 감정별로 재구성하여 창작하고 창작된 우리 춤을 무용전문가가 시연한다. 이를 카메라를 이용하여 획득하고, 영상처리를 통해서 시연자의 실루엣을 뽑아낸 후, 정량적 특징량들을 추출한다. 이어 신경회로망을 이용하여 각 감정별 춤사위를 학습 시킨 후, 임의의 춤사위에 내포된 감정을 인식 한다. 본 논문에서는 정면, 좌, 우 세 시점에서 획득된 다시점 영상을 이용하여 학습시킴으로써 보다 안정적으로 동작하는 인식 시스템을 제안한다. 그리고, 시스템에 의해 인식된 감정 패턴과 변화의 정성적 의미를 이해하기 위해 무용전문가들에 의해 정립된 정성적 분석 결과와 비교, 분석한다. 이는 정성적인 분석에만 국한되던 우리 춤의 특성에 대한 이해를 객관적이고 정량화된 분석을 통한 이해의 차원으로 확장시키는 것으로, 우리 춤의 특성을 새롭게 정의하는 계기를 마련할 수 있다. 다양한 장르의 한국 전통춤 가운데 우리 춤을 대표할 수 있는 춤사위를 선정하고, 정성적/정량적으로 분석함으로써 우리 춤의 특성을 이해하기 위한 체계적인 틀을 제공하고자 한다.

Recently, there have been previous research about the iris recognition in mobile device to increase portability, whose accuracy is affected by the quality of iris image. Iris image is affected by illumination environment during the image acquisition. The existing system has high accuracy in indoor environment. However the accuracy is degraded in outdoor environment, because the gray levels of iris patterns in image are changed, and ghost and eyelash shading regions are produced by the sunlight of various wavelengths into iris region. To overcome these problems, we propose new mobile iris camera system which uses the near-infrared (NIR) light illuminator of 850 nm and band pass filter (BPF) of 850 nm. To measure the performance of the proposed system, we compared it to the existing one with the iris images captured in indoor and outdoor sunlight environments in terms of the equal error rates (EER) based on false acceptance rate (FAR) and false rejection rate (FRR). The experimental result showed that the proposed system had the lower EERs than those of previous system by 0.96% (with frontal light in indoors), 4.94% (with frontal light in outdoor), 9.24% (with side light in outdoor), and 7% (with back light in outdoor), respectively.

This paper proposes an efficient method for automatically distinguishing various facial expressions. To recognize the emotions from facial expressions, the facial images are obtained by digital cameras, and a number of feature points were extracted. The extracted feature points are then transformed to 49-dimensional feature vectors which are robust to scale and translational variations, and the facial emotions are recognized by statistical pattern classifiers such Naive Bayes, MLP (multi-layer perceptron), and SVM (support vector machine). Based on the experimental results with 5-fold cross validation, SVM was the best among the classifiers, whose performance was obtained by 50.8% for 6 emotion classification, and 78.0% for 3 emotions.

Finding texts in general scene images and recognizing their contents is a very important task that can be used as a basis for robot vision, visual assistance, and so on. However, for the low-resolution text images, the degradations, such as noise or blur included in text images, are more noticeable, which leads to severe performance degradation of text recognition accuracy. In this paper, we propose a new Korean text image super-resolution based on a Transformer-based model, which generally shows higher performance than convolutional neural networks. In the experiments, we show that text recognition accuracy for Korean text images can be improved when our proposed text image super-resolution method is used. We also propose a new Korean text image dataset for training our model, which contains massive HR-LR Korean text image pairs.

Hand-signal is an effective communication means in the situation where voice cannot be used for expression especially for soldiers. Vision-based approaches using cameras as input devices are widely suggested in the literature. However, these approaches are not suitable for soldiers that have unseen visions in many cases. in addition, existing special-glove approaches utilize the information of fingers only. Thus, they are still lack for soldiers' hand-signal recognition that involves not only finger motions, but also additional information such as the rotation of a hand. In this paper, we have designed and implemented a new recognition system for six military hand-signal motions, i. e., 'ready', 'move', quick move', 'crawl', 'stop', and 'lying-down'. For this purpose, we have proposed a finger-recognition method and motion-recognition methods. The finger-recognition method discriminate how much each finger is bended, i. e., 'completely flattened', 'slightly flattened', 'slightly bended', and 'completely bended'. The motion-recognition algorithms are based on the characterization of each hand-signal motion in terms of the three axes. Through repetitive experiments, our system have shown 91.2% of correct recognition.

In this study, cable tension was measured using the vibration method, and a vision-based system was applied as a sensor to measure the displacement response of a cable in a non-contact method. In the vision-based system, the camera is installed in a location that considers the target structure and the field of view of the camera. However, it can be difficult to recognize the control points required to measure the displacement response of a structure as the target structure and other structures such as vehicles may be included in the image at the intended installation location. In this study, a distorted image including a vehicle shows inaccurate results in image analysis due to the installation position of the vision-based system. Accordingly, the image including the vehicle was eliminated by calculating the similarity between the two images. To verify the validity of the method of estimating the cable tension of cable-stayed bridges using the proposed method, the vibration method was applied to cable-stayed bridges in service to measure the tension.

Respiratory infections such as COVID-19 mainly occur within enclosed spaces. The presence or absence of abnormal symptoms of respiratory infectious diseases is judged through initial symptoms such as fever, cough, sneezing and difficulty breathing, and constant monitoring of these early symptoms is required. In this paper, image matching correction was performed for the RGB camera module and the thermal imaging camera module, and the temperature of the thermal imaging camera module for the measurement environment was calibrated using a blackbody. To detection the target recommended by the standard, a deep learning-based object recognition algorithm and the inner canthus recognition model were developed, and the model accuracy was derived by applying a dataset of 100 experimenters. Also, the error according to the measured distance was corrected through the object distance measurement using the Lidar module and the linear regression correction module. To measure the performance of the proposed model, an experimental environment consisting of a motor stage, an infrared thermography temperature screening system and a blackbody was established, and the error accuracy within 0.28℃ was shown as a result of temperature measurement according to a variable distance between 1m and 3.5 m.
