Visual place recognition is widely researched area in robotics, as it is one of the elemental requirements for autonomous navigation, simultaneous localization and mapping for mobile robots. However, place recognition in changing environment is a challenging problem since a same place look different according to the time, weather, and seasons. This paper presents a feature extraction method using a deep convolutional auto-encoder to recognize places under severe appearance changes. Given database and query image sequences from different environments, the convolutional auto-encoder is trained to predict the images of the desired environment. The training process is performed by minimizing the loss function between the predicted image and the desired image. After finishing the training process, the encoding part of the structure transforms an input image to a low dimensional latent representation, and it can be used as a condition-invariant feature for recognizing places in changing environment. Experiments were conducted to prove the effective of the proposed method, and the results showed that our method outperformed than existing methods.

Objectives: The purpose of the study is to investigate recognition and adequacy of dental service providers regarding dental prosthodontic treatment covered by dental auto insurance system. Methods: A self-reported questionnaire was completed by 320 dentists and dental hygienists in Seoul, Gyeonggido, and Incheon from February 22 to March 21, 2016. The questionnaire consisted of recognition and needs of auto insurance (4 items), and recognition of prosthodontic treatment covered by dental auto insurance system. Likert five point scale was used in the questionnaire. Data were analyzed by SPSS 21.0 program. Cronbach's alpha was 0.856 in the study. Results: The average of recognition was 2.62 and that of adequacy of auto insurance coverage was 1.98. The reasonable price of crown treatment was from 400,000 to 500,000 Korean Won in 67.9 percent of the dentists. But 49.8 percent of the dental hygienists answered that the reasonable price of crown was 300,000 to 400,000 Korean Won. The dentists preferred to treatment fee covered by dental auto insurance. The dental hygienists had a preference to combination of dental auto insurance and medical insurance fee. Conclusions: The opinion of the dental care providers should be considered and the adequate coverage of insurance would improve the dental health care.

In complicated environment, context information plays an important role in image segmentation/labeling. The recently proposed auto-context algorithm is one of the effective context-based methods. However, the standard auto-context approach samples the context locations utilizing a fixed radius sequence, which is sensitive to large scale-change of objects. In this paper, we present a scale invariant auto-context (SIAC) algorithm which is an improved version of the auto-context algorithm. In order to achieve scale-invariance, we try to approximate the optimal scale for the image in an iterative way and adopt the corresponding optimal radius sequence for context location sampling, both in training and testing. In each iteration of the proposed SIAC algorithm, we use the current classification map to estimate the image scale, and the corresponding radius sequence is then used for choosing context locations. The algorithm iteratively updates the classification maps, as well as the image scales, until convergence. We demonstrate the SIAC algorithm on several image segmentation/labeling tasks. The results demonstrate improvement over the standard auto-context algorithm when large scale-change of objects exists.

The officer of the deck(OOD) may sometimes have to carry out lookout as well as handling of auto pilot without a quartermaster at sea. The purpose of this paper is to develop the ship's auto pilot control module using speech recognition in order to reduce the potential risk of one man bridge system. The feature parameters predicting the OOD's intention was extracted from the sample wheel orders written in SMCP(IMO Standard Marine Communication Phrases). We designed a pre-recognition procedure which could make some candidate words using DTW(Dynamic Time Warping) algorithm, a post-recognition procedure which made a final decision from the candidate words using the feature parameters. To evaluate the effectiveness of these procedures the experiment was conducted with 500 wheel orders.

In this paper, a robust feature compensation method is proposed for improving the performance of speech recognition. The proposed method is incorporated into the auto-regressive moving average (ARMA) based feature compensation. We employ variable weights for the ARMA filter according to the degree of speech activity, and pass the normalized cepstral sequence through the weighted ARMA filter. Additionally when normalizing the cepstral sequences in training, the cepstral means and variances are estimated from total training utterances. Experimental results show the proposed method significantly improves the speech recognition performance in the noisy and reverberant environments.

본 논문에서는 Zigbee를 이용한 자동인식 시스템에 관한 연구를 하였다. RFID 시스템은 통신 거리가 제한적이고, 통신망이 손실되면 통신이 불가능하다. 따라서 RFID 시스템과 모니터링 시스템과의 통신망 설치가 어렵거나, RFID 시스템의 설치 위치가 유동적인 지역에서는 설치가 쉽고 낮은 비용의 무선 시스템이 필요하다. 제안된 자동인식 시스템은 멜렉시스사의 MLX12115 RFID 칩을 이용한 13.56MHz RFID 시스템과, 칩콘사의 CC2420 지그비 칩을 이용한 무선 센서노드 시스템을 하나의 시스템으로 구현하였다. 연구결과, 무선으로 Tag의 정보 취득이 용이하며, 회로의 구성이 간단하고 작은 크기의 자동 인식시스템을 구현하였다.

딥러닝의 급속한 발전은 패턴인식 분야의 성능을 혁신했으며 몇몇 문제에서는 인간 수준을 넘어서는 결과들을 보여주고 있다. 데이타를 분류하는 패턴인식과 달리 본 논문에서는 주어진 몇개의 한국어 문장으로부터 비슷한 문장들을 생성하는 문제를 다룬다. 이를위해 생성모델 중의 하나인 Variational Auto-Encoder 기반의 모델을 한국어 생성에 맞게 개선하고 적용하는 방법들을 논의한다. 첫째, 교착어인 한국어의 특성상 띄어쓰기를 기준으로 단어 생성시 단어의 개수가 너무 많아 이를 줄이기 위해 조사 및 어미들을 분리할 필요가 있다. 둘째, 한국어는 어순이 비교적 자유롭고 주어 목적어 등이 생략되는 경우가 많아 기존의 단방향 인코더를 양방향으로 확장한다. 마지막으로, 주어진 문장들을 기반으로 비슷하지만 새로운 문장들을 생성하기 위해 기존 문장들의 인코딩된 벡터표현들로부터 새로운 벡터를 찾아내고, 이 벡터를 디코딩하여 문장을 생성한다. 실험 결과를 통해 제안한 방법의 성능을 확인한다.

Hidden Markov Model(HMM) has been widely used in speech recognition, however, its use in machine condition monitoring has been very limited despite its good potential. In this paper, HMM is used to recognize rotor fault pattern. First, we set up rotor kit under unbalance and oil whirl conditions. Time signals of two failure conditions were sampled and translated to auto power spectrums. Using filter bank, feature vectors were calculated from these auto power spectrums. Next, continuous HMM and discrete HMM were trained with scaled forward/backward variables and diagonal covariance matrix. Finally, each HMM was applied to all sampled data to prove fault recognition ability. It was found that HMM has good recognition ability despite of small number of training data set in rotor fault pattern recognition.

In this study, a traffic light recognition algorithm was implemented and validated for low-speed special purpose vehicles in an urban environment. Real-time image data using a camera and YOLO algorithm were applied. Two methods were presented to increase the accuracy of the traffic light recognition algorithm, and it was confirmed that the second method had the higher accuracy according to the traffic light type. In addition, it was confirmed that the optimal YOLO algorithm was YOLO v5m, which has over 98% mAP values and higher efficiency. In the future, it is thought that the traffic light recognition algorithm can be used as a dual system to secure the platform safety in the traffic information error of C-ITS.

A prompter software is used, behind the camera, to scroll the script for a TV narrator. So far it has been manually operated by an assistant, who scrolls the caption following narrator's speech. Automating this procedure using a speech recognition technology has been investigated in this project. The developed auto-scrolling software was tested in offline and online, which shows performance good enough to replace an existing prompter software. This paper describes the whole development process and concerns to be cared.
