최근 IT기술 영역에서 미래기술로 촉망받는 증강현실(AR)과 가상현실(VR)환경을 구축함에 있어서, 마우스나 키보드 등의 별도 장치 없이 기기에 원하는 동작을 입력 하도록 하는 NUI(Natural User Interface)기술이 각광받고 있다. 또한 NUI를 구현하는데 중요한 기술 중 하나로 손동작 인식 기술, 얼굴 인식 기술 등이 대두되고 있다. 이에 본 논문은 적외선 센서의 일종인 Leapmotion 센서를 사용하여 손동작 인식을 구현하고자 하였다. 첫 번째로 우선 거리변환 행렬을 사용하여 손바닥의 중심을 찾았다. 이후 각각의 손가락을 convex hull 알고리즘을 사용하여 추출한다. 제안한 알고리즘에서는 손가락, 손바닥 부분의optical flow를 구한 후, 두 optical flow의 특성을 사용하여 손의 이동, 정지, 클릭 동작을 구분 할 수 있도록 하였다.

In order to realize the virtual prototyping (VP) of digital products, it is important to provide the people involved in product development with the appropriate visualization and interaction of the products, and the vivid simulation of user interface (UI) behaviors in an interactive 3D virtual environment. In this paper, we propose an approach to web-based 3D virtual experience using Unity and Leap Motion. We adopt Unity as an implementation platform which easily and rapidly implements the visualization of the products and the design and simulation of their UI behaviors, and allows remote users to get an easy access to the virtual environment. Additionally, we combine Leap Motion with Unity to embody natural and immersive interaction using the user's hand gesture. Based on the proposed approach, we have developed a testbed system for web-based 3D virtual experience and applied it for the design evaluation of various digital products. Button selection test was done to investigate the quality of the interaction using Leap Motion, and a preliminary user study was also performed to show the usefulness of the proposed approach.

Purpose: The purposes of this study were to develop a workstation computer that allowed intraoperative touchless control of diagnostic and surgical images by a surgeon, and to report the preliminary experience with the use of the system in a series of cases in which dental surgery was performed. Materials and Methods: A custom workstation with a new motion sensing input device (Leap Motion) was set up in order to use a natural user interface (NUI) to manipulate the imaging software by hand gestures. The system allowed intraoperative touchless control of the surgical images. Results: For the first time in the literature, an NUI system was used for a pilot study during 11 dental surgery procedures including tooth extractions, dental implant placements, and guided bone regeneration. No complications were reported. The system performed very well and was very useful. Conclusion: The proposed system fulfilled the objective of providing touchless access and control of the system of images and a three-dimensional surgical plan, thus allowing the maintenance of sterile conditions. The interaction between surgical staff, under sterile conditions, and computer equipment has been a key issue. The solution with an NUI with touchless control of the images seems to be closer to an ideal. The cost of the sensor system is quite low; this could facilitate its incorporation into the practice of routine dental surgery. This technology has enormous potential in dental surgery and other healthcare specialties.

This study introduces a smart wrist band system with pressure measurements using wrist skin curvature variation due to finger motion. It is easy to wear and take off without pre-adaptation or surgery to use. By analyzing the depth variation of wrist skin curvature during each finger motion, we elaborated the most suitable location of each Force Sensitive Resistor (FSR) to be attached in the wristband with anatomical consideration. A 3D depth camera was used to investigate distinctive wrist locations, responsible for the anatomically de-coupled thumb, index, and middle finger, where the variations of wrist skin curvature appear independently. Then sensors within the wristband were attached correspondingly to measure the pressure change of those points and eventually the finger motion. The smart wrist band was validated for its practicality through two demonstrative applications, i.e., one for a real-time control of prosthetic robot hands and the other for natural human-computer interfacing. And hopefully other futuristic human-related applications would be benefited from the proposed smart wrist band system.

An online social network is a platform that is continuously expanding, which enables groups of people to share their views and communicate with one another using the Internet. The social relations among members of the public are significantly improved because of this gesture. Despite these advantages and opportunities, criminals are continuing to broaden their attempts to exploit people by making use of techniques and approaches designed to undermine and exploit their victims for criminal activities. The field of digital forensics, on the other hand, has made significant progress in reducing the impact of this risk. Even though most of these digital forensic investigation techniques are carried out manually, most of these methods are not usually appropriate for use with online social networks due to their complexity, growth in data volumes, and technical issues that are present in these environments. In both civil and criminal cases, including sexual harassment, intellectual property theft, cyberstalking, online terrorism, and cyberbullying, forensic investigations on social media platforms have become more crucial. This study explores the use of machine learning techniques for addressing criminal incidents on social media platforms, particularly during forensic investigations. In addition, it outlines some of the difficulties encountered by forensic investigators while investigating crimes on social networking sites.

본 논문에서는 지구전기장 왜란신호를 전위차로 변환하는 EPIC(Electric Potential Integrated Circuit) 센서를 이용한 NUI(Natural User Interface) 기술의 요소기술인 신호검출 전자회로를 기반으로 LED 조명을 제어하는 시스템을 구현하였다. 기존에는 CIB 개발 장비를 통해서만 제한적인 형태로 이용 가능했던 신호를 모든 EPIC 센서 각각의 신호를 추출할 수 있도록 개발된 신호검출 전자회로를 이용하였다. 이렇게 추출한 신호는 이후 손동작 인식프로세스에서 특징추출 등의 과정에서 더 많은 자유도와 성능개선 효과를 보여준다. 설계되어 제작된 회로의 실제 응용시스템으로서 적용성을 검증하기 위하여 4개의 손동작으로 LED 조명의 on/off 와 밝기를 조정할 수 있는 시스템을 설계하였다. 기존의 EPIC 센서를 이용하여 명령체계를 구축하고 인터페이스 제어신호를 이용하여 보다 빠른 패턴인식 처리 속도를 얻을 수 있었다.
