Currently, various sensors have been used for advanced driver assistance systems. In order to overcome the limitations of individual sensors, sensor fusion has recently attracted the attention in the field of intelligence vehicles. Thus, vision and radar based sensor fusion has become a popular concept. The typical method of sensor fusion involves vision sensor that recognizes targets based on ROIs (Regions Of Interest) generated by radar sensors. Especially, because AVM (Around View Monitor) cameras due to their wide-angle lenses have limitations of detection performance over near distance and around the edges of the angle of view, for high performance of sensor fusion using AVM cameras and radar sensors the exact ROI extraction of the radar sensor is very important. In order to resolve this problem, we proposed a sensor fusion scheme based on commercial radar modules of the vendor Delphi. First, we configured multiple radar data logging systems together with AVM cameras. We also designed radar post-processing algorithms to extract the exact ROIs. Finally, using the developed hardware and software platforms, we verified the post-data processing algorithm under indoor and outdoor environments.

To raise the industrial competitiveness in the field of ship-building, it is crucially important that the yard should use production facilities and working space effectively. Among the related works, the management of tremendous blocks' number, the limited area of assembly shops and inefficient personnel and facility management still need to be improved in terms of being exposed to a lot of problems. To settle down these conundrums, the various strategies of block arrangement on the assembly floors have been recently presented and in the results, have increasingly began to be utilized in practice. However, it is a wonder that the sampled or approximated block shapes which usually are standardized projections or the geometrically convex contour only have been prevailed until now. In this study, all parts including the panel, stiffeners, outer shells, and all kinds of outfitting equipment are first extracted using the Volume Primitive plug-in module from the ship customized CAD system and then, the presented system constructs a simpler and more compact ship data structure and finally generates the novel projected contours for the block arrangement system using the adaptive concave hull algorithm.

Correlation Filter was recently demonstrated to have good characteristics in the field of video object tracking. The advantages of Correlation Filter based trackers are reflected in the high accuracy and robustness it provides while maintaining a high speed. However, there are still some necessary improvements that should be made. First, most trackers cannot handle multi-scale problems. To solve this problem, our algorithm combines position estimation with scale estimation. The difference from the traditional method in regard to the scale estimation is that, the proposed method can track the scale of the object more quickly and effective. Additionally, in the feature extraction module, the feature representation of traditional algorithms is relatively simple, and furthermore, the tracking performance is easily affected in complex scenarios. In this paper, we design a novel and powerful feature that can significantly improve the tracking performance. Finally, traditional trackers often suffer from model drift, which is caused by occlusion and other complex scenarios. We introduce a relocation component to detect object at other locations such as the secondary peak of the response map. It partly alleviates the model drift problem.

The technology to inspect and measure an inner structure of micro parts has become an important tool in the semi-conductor industrial field with the development of automation and precision manufacturing. Especially, the inspection skill on the inside of highly integrated electronic device becomes a key role in detecting defects of a completely assembled product. X-ray inspection technology has been focused as a main method to inspect the inside structure. However, there has been insufficient research done on the customized inspection technology for the flip-chip assembly due to the interior connecting part of flip chip which connects the die and PCB electrically through balls positioned on the die. In this study, therefore, it is implemented to detect shape error of flip chip bonding without damaging chips using an x-ray inspection system. At this time, it is able to monitor the solder bump shape by introducing an edge-extracting algorithm (exponential approximation function) according to the attenuating characteristic and detect shape error compared with CAD data. Additionally, the bonding error of solder bumps is automatically detectable by acquiring numerical size information at the extracted solder bump edges.

Due to the development of artificial intelligence and image recognition technology that play important roles in the field of 4th industry, office automation systems and unmanned automation systems are rapidly spreading in human society. The proposed algorithm first finds the variances of the differences between the tile values constituting the learning characters and the experimental character and then recognizes the experimental character according to the distribution of the three learning characters with the smallest variances. In more detail, for 100 learning data characters and 10 experimental data characters, each character is defined as the number of black pixels belonging to 15 tile areas. For each character constituting the experimental data, the variance of the differences of the tile values of 100 learning data characters is obtained and then arranged in the ascending order. After that, three learning data characters with the minimum variance values are selected, and the final recognition result for the given experimental character is selected according to the distribution of these character types. Moreover, we compare the recognition result with the result made by a neural network of basic structure. It is confirmed that satisfactory recognition results are obtained through the processes that subdivide the learning characters and experiment characters into tile sizes and then select the recognition result using variances.

Purpose: This pilot study aimed to clarify features of motor module during walking in exercise experts who experienced lately repeated training for sports skill. To identify motor modules, autoencoder machine learning algorithm was used, and modules were extracted from muscle activities of lower extremities. Research design, data and methodology: A total of 10 university students were participated. 5 students did not experience any sports training before, and 5 students did experience sports training more than 5 years. Eight muscle activities of dominant lower extremity were measured. After modules were extracted by autoencoder, the numbers of modules and spatial muscle weight values were compared between two groups. Results: There was no significant difference in the minimal number of motor modules that explain more than 90% of original data between groups. However, in similarity analysis, three motor modules were shown high similarity (r>0.8) while one module was shown low similarity (r<0.5). Conclusions: This study found not only common motor modules between exercise novice and expert during walking, but also found that a specific motor module, which would be associated with high motor control ability to distinguish the level of motor performance in the field of sports.

One of the major topic of tokamak research is the determination of the magnetic profile due to magnetic coil fields and plasma current by mean of data from magnetic probes. The most practical approach is to use the current filament method, which models the plasma column with multiple current carrying filaments and the total current of these filaments is equal to the plasma current. Determining the plasma boundary in Alvand-U tokamak is the main purpose of this paper. In order to determine the magnetic field profile and plasma boundary, information concerning the magnetic coils, their position, and current is required in the computing code. Then, the plasma shape is determined and finally the plasma boundary is extracted by the code. In the conducted research, we discuss how to determine the plasma boundary and the performance of the computing code for extraction of the plasma boundary. The developed algorithm shows to be effective by running it in the regular pc machine with characteristics of Intel (R) core (TM) i3-10100 CPU @3.60 GHz and 8.00 GB of RAM. Finally, we present results of a test run for computing code using a typical experimental pulse.

Multimode fibers (MMFs) possess high information throughput and small core diameter, making them highly promising for applications such as endoscopy and communication. However, modal dispersion hinders the direct use of MMFs for image transmission. By training neural networks on time-series waveforms collected from MMFs it is possible to reconstruct images, transforming blurred speckle patterns into recognizable images. This paper proposes a fully convolutional neural-network model, MSMDFNet, for image restoration in MMFs. The network employs an encoder-decoder architecture, integrating multiscale convolutional modules in the decoding layers to enhance the receptive field for feature extraction. Additionally, attention mechanisms are incorporated from both spatial and channel dimensions, to improve the network's feature-perception capabilities. The algorithm demonstrates excellent performance on MNIST and Fashion-MNIST datasets collected through MMFs, showing significant improvements in various metrics such as SSIM.

본 논문에서는 GPU(Graphics Processing Unit)에서 데이터를 처리할 수 있게 하여 단일 영상에서 효율적으로 깊이를 추정하는 방법을 제안한다. 단일 영상은 카메라의 투영 과정에 의해 깊이 정보가 소실되게 되며 영상에서 소실된 깊이를 추정하기 위해서 단안 단서를 이용한다. 제안하는 깊이 추정 알고리즘은 좀 더 신뢰성 있는 깊이를 추정하고자 여러 단안 단서를 이용하며 에너지 최소화를 통해 단안 단서들을 결합한다. 그러나 여러 단안 단서들을 고려해야하기 때문에 처리해야 할 데이터가 많은 단점이 존재한다. 따라서 GPGPU(General Purpose Graphics Processing Unit)를 통해 데이터를 병렬적으로 처리하게 하여 효율적으로 깊이를 추정하는 방법을 제안한다. 객관적인 효율성을 검증하기 위해 PSNR(Peak Signal to Noise Ratio)을 통해 실험하였으며 GPGPU을 이용함으로써 알고리즘의 수행시간을 평균 61.22% 감소시켰다.

스티칭 기술은 고화질의 360 VR 영상을 제작하는 과정에서 가장 중요한 요소 기술들 중의 하나이다. 스티칭 기술의 성능을 저하시키는 원인들에는 특징점 추출 과정의 오류, seam finding 과정에서 사용되는 마스크의 왜곡으로 발생하는 오류, 각 영상들의 밝기 보상 오류 등 다양한 원인들이 존재한다. 본 논문에서는 합성되는 각 영상들 간의 시차(View Disparity)가 존재함으로써 스티칭 성능이 저하되는 현상을 분석하고, 이 문제를 해결하기 위해 이음부 탐색(seam finding)의 전처리 과정에서 사용되는 효율적인 알고리즘을 제안한다. 본 논문에서 제안하는 기술을 통해 기존 방법보다 개선된 마스크들을 제작하여 효율적인 이음부 탐색(seam finding)이 수행되도록 하고, 그 결과 개선된 화질을 갖는 360 VR 영상을 얻을 수 있음을 설명한다. 본 논문에서 실시된 다양한 실험들을 통해, 제안된 기술이 시차 왜곡이 존재하는 영상 신호들을 합성하는 과정에 효율적이면서 동작 복잡도도 높지 않음을 보이고 있다.
