Recently, one of the received attraction fields in web based service is 'Human Relationship Service' that is called SNS. This relationship map service is able to deliver information to user more easily and visually because it is intuitive data that is linked with offline real world. While past map service put physical real information in the map, present map service is evolving into new communicative platform that expresses social relationship beyond simple search platform that shows real world. In this paper, we propose smart social grid system using sketch map that is based on online map service structure. This system has features such as standardized interface provision for various SNS, use to governance hub tool in case of establishing a personal network through expanded social grid, a role of bridge to mashup software linked with other SNS, user environment construction that reproduces social grid data, and the faster service setup by improved search technology.

This paper deals with a real-time image based relighting system for tangible video teleconference. The proposed image based relighting system renders the extracted human object using the virtual environmental images. The proposed system can homogenize virtually the lighting environments of remote users on the video teleconference, or render the humans like they are in the virtual places. To realize the video teleconference, the paper obtains the 3D object models of users in real-time using the controlled lighting system. In this paper, we use single color camera and synchronized two directional flash lights. Proposed system generates pure shading images using on and off flash images subtraction. One pure shading reflectance map generates a directional normal map from multiplication of each reflectance map and basic normal vector map. Each directional basic normal map is generated by inner vector calculation of incident light vector and camera viewing vector. And the basic normal vector means a basis component of real surface normal vector. The proposed system enables the users to immerse video teleconference just as they are in the virtual environments.

There are three types of noise generated inside the vehicle: BSR (Buzz, Squeak, Rattle). In this paper, we propose a classifier that automatically classifies automotive BSR noise by using features extracted from deep convolutional neural networks. In the preprocessing process, the features of above three noises are represented as noise-map using STFT (Short-time Fourier Transform) algorithm. In order to cope with the problem that the position of the actual noise is unknown in the part of the generated noise map, the noise map is divided using the sliding window method. In this paper, internal parameter of the deep convolutional neural networks is visualized using the t-SNE (t-Stochastic Neighbor Embedding) algorithm, and the misclassified data is analyzed in a qualitative way. In order to analyze the classified data, the similarity of the noise type was quantified by SSIM (Structural Similarity Index) value, and it was found that the retractor tremble sound is most similar to the normal travel sound. The classifier of the proposed method compared with other classifiers of machine learning method recorded the highest classification accuracy (99.15 %).

A DCT map and new cldebook design algorithm based on a two-dimension discrete cosine transform (2D-DCT) is presented for coder of image vector quantizer. We divide the image into smaller subblocks, then, using 2D DCT, separate it into blocks which are hard to code but it bears most of the visual information and easy to code but little visual information, and DCT map is made. According to this map, the significant features of training image are extracted by using the 2D DCT. A codebook is generated by partitioning the training set into a binary tree based on tree-structure. Each training vector at a nonterminal node of the binary tree is directed to one of the two descendants by comparing a single feature associated with that node to a threshold. Compared with the pairwise neighbor (PPN) and classified VQ(CVQ) algorithm, about 'Lenna' and 'Boat' image, the new algorithm results in a reduction in computation time and shows better picture quality with 0.45 dB and 0.33dB differences as to PNN, 0.05dB and 0.1dB differences as to CVQ respectively.

포인트 클라우드는 객체 또는 장면을 재구성하기 위한 3D 데이터의 표현 방식 중 하나로써 가상 및 증강 현실을 포함한 다양한 분야에서 활용되고 있다. 포인트 클라우드 데이터는 품질에 따라 수많은 포인트로 이루어질 수 있으며, 이와 관련된 데이터의 양은 2차원 영상의 데이터보다 상당히 많다. 따라서 포인트 클라우드 데이터를 사용하여 다양한 서비스를 제공하기 위해서는 포인트 클라우드의 특징을 고려한 효율적인 압축 기술이 요구되며, 이에 따라 국제 표준화 단체의 Moving Picture Experts Group은 포인트 클라우드 데이터의 효율적인 압축을 위한 V-PCC 표준을 제정하였다. V-PCC는 포인트 클라우드 데이터를 다수의 2차원 공간으로 투영하여 점유 맵, 기하 영상, 그리고 속성 영상을 생성하고 각 2차원 영상을 기존의 비디오 코덱을 활용하여 압축하는 방식이다. 기존의 코덱을 사용하여 압축함에 따라 활용성이 높지만, 3차원 데이터를 다수의 2차원 영상을 통하여 압축하기 때문에 압축의 효율성을 높이기 위한 많은 연구가 필요하다. 본 논문에서는 V-PCC의 부호화 효율을 높이기 위해 점유 맵의 투영 정보를 활용한 속성 영상의 효율적인 압축 방법을 소개하고 이를 위한 적응적 SAO 방법을 제안한다. 실험에서 제안 방법은 V-PCC의 속성 영상에 대해 약 3.2%의 부호화 효율을 보인다.

In this paper proposed a feature fusion and spatial attention-based modified YOLOv4S for small and occluded detection. Conventional YOLOv4S is a lightweight network and lacks feature extraction capability compared to the method of the deep network. The proposed method first combines feature maps of different scales with feature fusion to enhance semantic and low-level information. In addition expanding the receptive field with dilated convolution, the detection accuracy for small and occluded objects was improved. Second by improving the conventional spatial information with spatial attention, the detection accuracy of objects classified and occluded between objects was improved. PASCAL VOC and COCO datasets were used for quantitative evaluation of the proposed method. The proposed method improved mAP by 2.7% in the PASCAL VOC dataset and 1.8% in the COCO dataset compared to the Conventional YOLOv4S.

In this paper, we proposed an Atrous Residual U-Net (AR-UNet) to improve the segmentation accuracy of semantic segmentation method based on U-Net. The U-Net is mainly used in fields such as medical image analysis, autonomous vehicles, and remote sensing images. The conventional U-Net lacks extracted features due to the small number of convolution layers in the encoder part. The extracted features are essential for classifying object categories, and if they are insufficient, it causes a problem of lowering the segmentation accuracy. Therefore, to improve this problem, we proposed the AR-UNet using residual learning and ASPP in the encoder. Residual learning improves feature extraction ability and is effective in preventing feature loss and vanishing gradient problems caused by continuous convolutions. In addition, ASPP enables additional feature extraction without reducing the resolution of the feature map. Experiments verified the effectiveness of the AR-UNet with Cityscapes dataset. The experimental results showed that the AR-UNet showed improved segmentation results compared to the conventional U-Net. In this way, AR-UNet can contribute to the advancement of many applications where accuracy is important.

This paper proposes a robust lane detection algorithm for bumpy or slope changing roads by estimating extrinsic camera parameters, which represent the pose of the camera mounted on the car. The proposed algorithm assumes that two lanes are parallel with the predefined width. The lane detection and the extrinsic camera parameter estimation are performed simultaneously by utilizing B-snake in motion compensated and merged feature map with consecutive sequences. The experimental results show the robustness of the proposed algorithm in various road environments. Furthermore, the accuracy of extrinsic camera parameter estimation is evaluated by calculating the distance to a preceding car with the estimated parameters and comparing to the radar-measured distance.
