보행 보조 로봇의 효과적인 보조를 위해서는 사용자의 보행 유형을 인식하는 것이 중요하다. 본 논문에서는 end-to-end 분류 네트워크 기반 보행 환경 인식 방법을 사용하여 사용자의 보행 유형을 강인하게 추정한다. 실외 보행 환경을 오르막길, 평지, 내리막길 3 가지로 분류하는 딥러닝 모델을 학습시켰으며, 엣지 디바이스에서 이를 사용하기 위해 네트워크 경량화를 진행하였다. 경량화 후 추론 속도는 약 47FPS 수준으로 실시간으로 보행 보조 로봇에 적용 가능한 것을 검증했으며, 정확도 측면에서도 97% 이상의 성능을 얻을 수 있었다.

This paper presents a real-time hand gesture recognition approach for controlling a computer. We define hand gestures as continuous hand postures and their movements for easy expression of various gestures and propose a Two-layered Bayesian Network (TBN) to recognize those gestures. The proposed method can compensate an incorrectly recognized hand posture and its location via the preceding and following information. In order to vertify the usefulness of the proposed method, we implemented a Virtual Mouse interface, the gesture-based interface of a physical mouse device. In experiments, the proposed method showed a recognition rate of 94.8% and 88.1% for a simple and cluttered background, respectively. This outperforms the previous HMM-based method, which had results of 92.4% and 83.3%, respectively, under the same conditions.

For competitiveness of national B2C (Business to Customer) service industry, improvement of process and analysis focused on customer and change of service system are needed. In other words, a business and an organization should deduce and provide what kind of services customers want. Then, evaluate customers' satisfaction and improve the service quality. To achieve this goal, accurate feedbacks from customers play an important role; however, there are not quantitative and standard systems a lot in nation. Recently, the researches about ICT (Information and Communication Technology) that can recognize emotion of human being are on the increase. The facial expression recognition among them is known as most efficient and natural human interface. This research analyzes about more efficient facial expression recognition and suggests a customer satisfaction feedback system using that.

In the this paper, a gesture-based user interface based on object detection using predefined gesture and the tracking of the detected object is proposed. For object detection, moving objects in a frame are computed by comparing multiple previous frames and predefined gesture is used to detect the target object among those moving objects. Any object with the predefined gesture can be used to control. We also propose an object tracking algorithm, namely density based meanshift algorithm, that uses color distribution of the target objects. The proposed object tracking algorithm tracks a target object crossing the background with a similar color more accurately than existing techniques. Experimental results show that the proposed object detection and tracking algorithms achieve higher detection capability with less computational complexity.

The baby-tech industry, which combines IT with existing parenting product, is attracting increasing amounts of attention. Consequently various types of baby products incorporating functionality and design are being launched. In recent years, particularly as the market segments increases for babywearing products, parenting products that account for the child's comfort and parents' convenience are required. Therefore, this study examines the characteristics and consumer perception of babywear products, which are important for the emotional stability, development, and rearing of children. The study utilizes text mining and a network analysis by collecting unstructured text data. An examination of the network, based on the frequency of keywords for each babywear product and the degree of the connection to the centering index, revealed that consumers value convenience and price when purchasing products. The consumer perception and consideration factors that appear individually according to the product were also identified. In addition, studying body parts with high TF-IDF values revealed a difference in the body parts considered by consumers for each product. Lastly, through the visualization data based on the keywords that appeared in public, commonly appearing keywords, and those that appeared individually were examined. Through SNS, product characteristics as well as a new parenting culture that shared child-rearing routines were confirmed. This study suggests planning and marketing directions for the development of babywear products that meet consumer needs.

The current AI technology has been developing rapidly enough to realize or even exceed the level of abilities that only humans had in the past. In the near future, it is predicted that humans and AI will influence each other as members of the metaverse society. Therefore, this study emphasizes the importance of empathy as a core competency for humans to pursue happiness while maintaining the dignity of humans in the era when AI and humans will coexist in the metaverse. In this study, 'Digital Human Empathy Index (DHEI)' is developed that reflects the social nature of computer-mediated communication in the metaverse As a result, DHEI consisted of a total of 7 factors, which are Perspective Taking, Self/Other Awareness, Contextual Understanding of Systemic Barriers, Impact Assessment, Solidarity, Being Peaceful, and Anthropomorphism. This study is expected to contribute to setting the direction of future education by suggesting a new measure of empathy.

In this study, a survey was conducted on the development of meal kits for children's foodservice to increase the convenience of the cooking process. It was performed among the foodservice managers in the 141 children's foodservice facilities registered in the Center for Children's Foodservice Management about meal-kits in Changwon areas. The survey results were analyzed according to the children's foodservice scale type. The biggest problem in a foodservice system was "difficult to purchase food ingredients directly every week" (38.4%) in small-scale children's foodservices, and "difficult to use the served menu without modification" (38.2%) in institutional children's foodservices (P<0.001). The most important factor when choosing the meal kit was "quality" (41.1%). Respondents on having an experience with using the meal kit were low at 34.8%, and the reasons for not using the meal kits were "expensive" (67.3%) and "not fresh food ingredients" (18.4%). The main reasons for not using children's foodservice meal kits were "expensiveness" (64.4%) and "necessity of adding disinfection process" (16.1%). Most of the reasons for not wanting to use children's foodservice meal kits were that they did not trust the safety of the meal kits. The use of meal kits in children's foodservices may reduce the preparation process and increase the efficiency of foodservice although the safety and quality of meal kits should be guaranteed. The appropriate hygiene management standards need to be set, and HACCP should be applied to develop meal kits for children's foodservices.
