Polycarbonate diol-based waterborne polyurethane (WPU) was prepared by prepolymer mixing process. The prepolymer mixture contained the polycarbonate diol, isophorone diisocyanate (IPDI), dimethylol propionic acid, triethylamine, and ethylenediamine (EDA). The NCO/OH ratio in the prepolymer was adjusted by controlling the molar ratio of IPDI, and its effects on the properties of WPU were studied. The structure of WPU was characterized by fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. The average particle size increased and viscosity decreased with increasing NCO/OH ratio and EDA content in WPU. The reduced phase separation between soft and hard segments increased glass transition temperature. The reduction in the thermal decomposition temperature could be attributed to the low bond energy of urethane and urea groups, which constituted the hard segment. Additionally, the polyurethane chain mobility was restricted, elongation decreased, and tensile strength increased. The hydrogen bond between the hard segments formed a dense structure that hindered water absorption.

Intelligent monitoring, life entertainment, medical rehabilitation, and other fields are only a few examples where visual image technology is becoming increasingly sophisticated and playing a significant role. Recognizing Wushu, or martial arts, movements through the use of visual image technology helps promote and develop Wushu. In order to segment and extract the signals of Wushu movements, this study analyzes the denoising of the original data using the wavelet transform and provides a sliding window data segmentation technique. Wushu movement The Wushu movement recognition model is built based on the hidden Markov model (HMM). The HMM model is trained and taught with the help of the Baum-Welch algorithm, which is then enhanced using the frequency weighted training approach and the mean training method. To identify the dynamic Wushu movement, the Viterbi algorithm is used to determine the probability of the optimal state sequence for each Wushu movement model. In light of the foregoing, an HMM-based martial arts movements recognition model is developed. The recognition accuracy of the HMM model increases to 99.60% when the number of samples is 4,000, which is greater than the accuracy of the SVM (by 0.94%), the CNN (by 1.12%), and the BP (by 1.14%). From what has been discussed, it appears that the suggested system for detecting martial arts acts is trustworthy and effective, and that it may contribute to the growth of martial arts.

본 논문에서는 입력된 FISH 세포영상을 군집세포영역과 독립세포영역으로 분류하고, 군집세포영역에 대해서는 하나의 세포를 분리하는 알고리즘을 제안한다. 먼저 입력된 영상에 대해서 가우시안혼합모델과 세포의 명암도 값에 대한 최대 우도 함수를 사용하여 세포영역과 배경영역을 분할해줄 임계값을 정의하게 된다. 이렇게 얻어진 전경세포영역에 대해서 보다 정확한 세포 분석을 위해서 군집세포와 독립세포를 분류하게 된다. 세포 영역의 분류과정을 위해서는 베이지안 네트워크와 확률밀도함수를 사용한다. 학습데이터로부터 밀집도(compactness), 평활도(smoothness), 후-모멘트(Hu-moment)에 대한 형태학적 특징값을 추출하여 확률밀도함수를 구성하고, 이를 기반으로 베이지안 네트워크를 사용하여 두 영역을 분류하게 된다. 군집세포로 분류된 영역에 대해서는 그 군집세포를 구성하고 있는 독립세포로 각각 분리한다. 먼저, 명암도 기울기 변환(intensity gradient transform) 영상과 워터쉐드 알고리즘을 이용하여 군집세포 영역을 작은 영역으로 분할하게 된다. 작게 분할된 영역을 하나의 세포영역으로 병합시키기 위해서, 군집세포에 존재하는 독립세포의 수만큼의 마커를 결정 침식 연산을 사용하여 추출하고, 추출된 마커를 중심으로 단계적 병합 알고리즘을 제안한다. 본 논문에서 제안한 방법은 166개의 FISH 세포를 사용하여 테스트한 결과 99.29%의 정확한 분리결과를 보여줬으며 기존의 다른 알고리즘보다도 뛰어난 성능과 빠른 실행시간을 보여주었다.

In this paper, we propose a method to build an accurate initial trimap for the GrabCut algorithm without the need for human interaction. First, we identify a rough candidate for the label region of a bottle by applying a saliency map to find a salient area from the image. Then, the Hough Transformation method is used to detect the left and right borders of the label region, and the k-means algorithm is used to localize the upper and lower borders of the label of the bottle. These four borders are used to build an initial trimap for the GrabCut method. Finally, GrabCut segments accurate regions for the label. The experimental results for 130 wine bottle images demonstrated that the saliency map extracted a rough label region with an accuracy of 97.69% while also removing the complex background. The Hough transform and projection method accurately drew the outline of the label from the saliency area, and then the outline was used to build an initial trimap for GrabCut. Finally, the GrabCut algorithm successfully segmented the bottle label with an average accuracy of 92.31%. Therefore, we believe that our method is suitable for product label recognition systems that automatically segment product labels. Although our method achieved encouraging results, it has some limitations in that unreliable results are produced under conditions with varying illumination and reflections. Therefore, we are in the process of developing preprocessing algorithms to improve the proposed method to take into account variations in illumination and reflections.

본 논문은 비전장비의 결함 검사 시스템을 위한 불균일한 휘도분포를 가지는 TFT-LCD 영상에서 결함 영역을 분할하는 방법을 다룬다. 불균일한 휘도분포 때문에 결함의 영역을 찾기 어려우며 이를 위해 많은 방법들이 제안되었다. Kamel과 Zhoa는 문자 및 그래픽의 분할을 위해 논리적 단계화 방법을 제안하였고, 이 방법은 공간상에서 수행되어지는 지역적 분할 방법으로 불균일한 분포 상에서도 문자가 잘 분할되는 장점이 있다. TFT-LCD의 저해상도 영상도 배경의 분포가 불균일하여 본 논문에서는 Kamel과 Zhoa의 방법을 답습하여 새로운 결함 영역 분할 방법을 제안한다. 제안한 방법은 결함주위에 발생하는 과검출(Ghost object)이 적은 장점이 있으며 제안 방법의 성능을 증명하기위해 실제 결함이 존재하는 TFT-LCD 영상을 이용하여 실험하고, 주파수상에서 많이 사용되는 FFT의 밴드패스 필터를 이용한 분할 방법과 비교하였다.

본 논문에서는 화상에 존재하는 디지털 직선을 고정밀도로 검출하는 방법을 제안한다. 화상의 크기를 $N{\times}N$로 하면, 이 계산량은 $O(N^4)$이지만 실제 사용하기는 곤란하므로, 검출 정밀도의 열화를 억제하면서 계산량을 $O(N^3)$로 하는 알고리즘을 검토하였다. 국소영역에서 Hough 변환하여 추출된 선분을 연신처리(stretching treatment)하고, 화상으로부터 직선을 검출하는 방법은 길거나 짧은 여러 가지의 직선을 고속으로 검출할 수 있는 훌륭한 방법이지만, 기울어진 선분의 검출 정밀도는 약간 떨어진다. 본 논문에서는 사선의 검출 정밀도를 향상시킨 직선 검출방법을 국소영역에 적용함으로써 처리속도가 감소되지 않고, 직선을 고정밀도로 검출하는 방법에 관해서 논술한다. 실험 결과 제안된 방법은 기존의 방법과 같은 정도 이하의 시간에서 정밀도가 높은 직선을 검출할 수 있다는 것을 확인하였다.

Internet of things (IoT) is a new paradigm for collecting, processing and analyzing various contents in order to detect anomalies and to monitor particular patterns in a specific environment. The collected data can be used to discover new patterns and to offer new insights. IoT-enabled data mashup is a new technology to combine various types of information from multiple sources into a single web service. Mashup services create a new horizon for different applications. Environmental monitoring is a serious tool for the state and private organizations, which are located in regions with environmental hazards and seek to gain insights to detect hazards and locate them clearly. These organizations may utilize IoT - enabled data mashup service to merge different types of datasets from different IoT sensor networks in order to leverage their data analytics performance and the accuracy of the predictions. This paper presents an IoT - enabled data mashup service, where the multimedia data is collected from the various IoT platforms, then fed into an environmental cognition service which executes different image processing techniques such as noise removal, segmentation, and feature extraction, in order to detect interesting patterns in hazardous areas. The noise present in the captured images is eliminated with the help of a noise removal and background subtraction processes. Markov based approach was utilized to segment the possible regions of interest. The viable features within each region were extracted using a multiresolution wavelet transform, then fed into a discriminative classifier to extract various patterns. Experimental results have shown an accurate detection performance and adequate processing time for the proposed approach. We also provide a data mashup scenario for an IoT-enabled environmental hazard detection service and experimentation results.

Energetic thermoplastic elastomers (ETPEs) based on glycidyl azide polymer (GAP) and carboxylated GA copolymers [GAP-ETPE and poly(GA-carboxylate)-ETPEs] were synthesized using isophorone diisocyanate (IPDI), dibutyltin dilaurate (DBTDL), 1,4-butanediol (1,4-BD), and soft segment oligomers such as GAP and poly(GA-carboxylate). The synthesized GAP-ETPE and poly(GA-carboxylate)-ETPEs were characterized by Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR), gel permeation chromatography (GPC), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), universal testing machine (UTM), calorimetry and sensitivity towards friction and impact. DSC and TGA results showed that the introduction of carboxylate group in GAP helped to have better thermal properties. Glass transition temperatures of poly(GA-carboxylate)-ETPEs decreased from -31 ℃ to -33 ℃ compared to that of GAP-ETPE (-29 ℃). The first thermal decomposition temperature in poly(GA_0.8-octanoate_0.2)-ETPE (242 ℃) increased in comparison to that of GAP-ETPE (227 ℃). Furthermore, from calorimetry data, poly(GA-carboxylate)-ETPEs exhibited negative formation enthalpies (-6.94 and -7.21 kJ/g) and higher heats of combustion (46713 and 46587 kJ/mol) compared to that of GAP-ETPE (42,262 kJ/mol). Overall, poly(GA-carboxylate)-ETPEs could be good candidates for a polymeric binder in solid propellant due to better energetic, mechanical and thermal properties in comparison to those of GAP-ETPE. Such properties are beneficial to application and processing of ETPE.

The object classification using the images' contents is a big challenge in computer vision. The superpixels' information can be used to detect and classify objects in an image based on locations. In this paper, we proposed a methodology to detect and classify the image's pixels' locations using enhanced bag of words (BOW). It calculates the initial positions of each segment of an image using superpixels and then ranks it according to the region score. Further, this information is used to extract local and global features using a hybrid approach of Scale Invariant Feature Transform (SIFT) and GIST, respectively. To enhance the classification accuracy, the feature fusion technique is applied to combine local and global features vectors through weight parameter. The support vector machine classifier is a supervised algorithm is used for classification in order to analyze the proposed methodology. The Pascal Visual Object Classes Challenge 2007 (VOC2007) dataset is used in the experiment to test the results. The proposed approach gave the results in high-quality class for independent objects' locations with a mean average best overlap (MABO) of 0.833 at 1,500 locations resulting in a better detection rate. The results are compared with previous approaches and it is proved that it gave the better classification results for the non-rigid classes.
