  • For constructing three-dimensional (3D) spatial information occlusion region problem arises in the process of taking the texture of the building. In order to solve this problem, it is necessary to investigate the automation method to automatically recognize the occlusion region, issue it, and automatically complement the texture. In fact there are occasions when it is possible to generate a very large number of structures and occlusion, so alternatives to overcome are being considered. In this study, we attempt to apply an approach to automatically create an occlusion region based on learning by patterning the blocked region using the recently emerging deep learning algorithm. Experiment to see the performance automatic detection of people, banners, vehicles, and traffic lights that cause occlusion in building walls using two advanced algorithms of Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) technique, Faster Region-based Convolutional Neural Network (R-CNN) and Mask R-CNN. And the results of the automatic detection by learning the banners in the pre-learned model of the Mask R-CNN method were found to be excellent.

  • The sustainable development principle of replacing natural resources with renewable material is an important research topic. In this study, waste LCD (liquid crystal display) glass powder was used to replace cement (0%, 10%, 20% and 30%) through a volumetric method using three water-binder ratios (0.47, 0.59, and 0.71) to make cement mortar. The compressive strength was tested at the ages of 7, 28, 56 and 91 days. The test results show that the compressive strength increases with age but decreases as the water-binder ratio increases. The compressive strength slightly decreases with an increase in the replacement of LCD glass powder at a curing age of 7 days. However, at a curing age of 91 days, the compressive strength is slightly greater than that for the control group (glass powder is 0%). When the water-binder ratios are 0.47, 0.59 and 0.71, the compressive strength of the various replacements increases by 1.38-1.61 times, 1.56-1.80 times and 1.45-2.20 times, respectively, during the aging process from day 7 to day 91. Furthermore, a prediction model of the compressive strength of a cement mortar with waste LCD glass powder was deduced in this study. According to the comparison between the prediction analysis values and test results, the MAPE (mean absolute percentage error) values of the compressive strength are between 2.79% and 5.29%, and less than 10%. Thus, the analytical model established in this study has a good forecasting accuracy. Therefore, the proposed model can be used as a reliable tool for assessing the design strength of cement mortar from early age test results.

  • In this paper, we propose a visual inspection method of automotive parts for injection molding to improve the appearance quality and productivity of automotive parts. Exterior inspection of existing injection molding automobile parts was generally done by manual sampling inspection by human. First, we applied the edge-tolerance vision inspection algorithm ([1] - [4]) for vision inspection of electronic components (TFT-LCD and PCB) And we propose a new visual inspection method to overcome the problem. In the proposed visual inspection, the inspection images of the parts to be inspected are aligned on the basis of the reference image of good quality. Then, after partial adaptive binarization, the binary block matching algorithm is used to compare the good binary image and the test binary image. We verified the effectiveness of the edge-tolerance vision check algorithm and the proposed appearance vision test method through various comparative experiments using actual developed equipment.

  • Recently, research has been actively conducted to utilize blockchain technology in various fields. In particular, blockchain-based smart contracts are applied to various automation systems that require reliability as they have the characteristics of recording data in a distributed ledger environment to verify the integrity and validity of data. However, blockchain does not provide data access control and information security because data is shared among network participants. In this paper, we propose a user dynamic access control mechanism utilizing smart contracts in blockchain environments. The proposed mechanism identifies the user's contextual information when accessing data, allocating the user's role and dynamically controlling the data access range. This can increase the security of the system and the efficiency of data management by granting data access dynamically at the time of user authentication, rather than providing the same services in roles assigned to each user group of the network system. The proposed mechanism is expected to provide flexible authentication capabilities through dynamic data access control by users to enhance the security of data stored within blockchain networks.

  • The void PC slab has a structurally reasonable cross-section by forming the hollow section of the neutral axis that is unnecessary for bending behavior. Domestic PC factories have introduced automation equipment to produce hollow PC slabs, and are achieving hollow sections through inserts. However, since the excessive initial investment cost of the PC factory is the main factor in the increase in production cost, other alternatives are needed. Therefore, in this study, when producing hollow PC slab members, by using a rubber tube as a formwork to form an internal hollow space, it is intended to contribute to securing productivity through molding various hollow shapes, making it larger, lightweight, and enabling rapid production. To implement a hollow PC slab using a rubber tube mold, the shape of a hollow cross-section in which the tube is combined was implemented by considering the shape of the rubber tube first. In addition, to secure the concrete quality of the hollow part, the finish properties of the rubber tube mold and concrete were evaluated, and the hollow PC production process was established.

  • The window cleaning works are manpower-dependent and are performed in an unstable posture at high altitude, so that there is a risk of falling. Therefore, there is an urgent need to improve the safety of workers. In this study, a conceptual design was proposed for the cleaning of exterior windows of a building, and the economic feasibility of the proposed conceptual model was analyzed. The proposed model is designed to avoid protrusions such as window frames, and to be able to respond even if the shapes of the upper and lower parts are different. As a result of analyzing the economic feasibility of the designed conceptual model, the benefit cost ratio was 4.48, which was significantly higher than 1. Therefore, the economic feasibility of the proposed window cleaning device is expected to be sufficient. The results analyzed in this paper will be used in the development and marketing of the window cleaning device.

  • Companies that want to improve their manufacturing processes have recently introduced the smart factory, which is particularly noticeable. The ultimate goal is to maximize the area of the smart factory that performs the process of the production facility completely with minimal manual control and to minimize errors of reasoning. This research is a part of a project for unmanned production, management, packaging, and delivery management and the detection of the start point of rebars to perform the automatic calibration of the rollers through the tracking of the automated facilities of unmanned production. It must meet the requirement to accurately track the position from the start point to the end point. In order to improve the tracking performance, it is important to set the accurate start point. However, the probability of tracking errors is high depending on environments such as illumination and dust through the conventional time-based detection method. In this paper, we propose a starting point detection method using the average brightness change of high speed IR camera to reduce the errors according to the environments, As a result, its performance is improved by more than 15%.

  • The latest volumetric technology's high geometrical accuracy and realism ensure a high degree of correspondence between the real object and the captured 3D model. Nevertheless, since the 3D model obtained in this way constitutes a sequence as a completely independent 3D model between frames, the consistency of the model surface structure (geometry) is not guaranteed for every frame, and the density of vertices is very high. It can be seen that the interconnection node (Edge) becomes very complicated. 3D models created using this technology are inherently different from models created in movie or video game production pipelines and are not suitable for direct use in applications such as real-time rendering, animation and simulation, and compression. In contrast, our method achieves consistency in the quality of the volumetric 3D model sequence by linking re-meshing, which ensures high consistency of the 3D model surface structure between frames and the gradual deformation and texture transfer through correspondence and matching of non-rigid surfaces. And It maintains the consistency of volumetric 3D model sequence quality and provides post-processing automation.

  • Wireless sensor networks are being used in various fields. Wireless sensor networks are applied in many areas, such as security, military detection, environmental management, industrial control, and home automation. There is a problem about the limit of energy that the sensor network basically has. In this paper, we propose the LEACH-CCBD (Low Energy Adaptive Clustering hierarchy - Centrailized with Cluster and Basestation Distance) algorithm that uses energy efficiently by improving network transmission based on LEACH-C among the representative routing protocols. The LEACH-CCBD algorithm is a method of assigning a cluster head to a cluster head by comparing the sum of the distance from the member node to the cluster distance and the distance from the cluster node to the base station with respect to the membership of the member nodes in the cluster when configuring the cluster. The proposed LEACH-CCBD used Matlab simulation to confirm the performance results for each protocol. As a result of the experiment, as the lifetime of the network increased, it was shown to be superior to the LEACH and LEACH-C algorithms.

  • Nowadays, Genomic data constitutes one of the fastest growing datasets in the world. As of 2025, it is supposed to become the fourth largest source of Big Data, and thus mandating adequate high-performance computing (HPC) platform for processing. With the latest unprecedented and unpredictable mutations in severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), the research community is in crucial need for ICT tools to process SARS-CoV-2 RNA data, e.g., by classifying it (i.e., clustering) and thus assisting in tracking virus mutations and predict future ones. In this paper, we are presenting an HPC-based SARS-CoV-2 RNAs clustering tool. We are adopting a data science approach, from data collection, through analysis, to visualization. In the analysis step, we present how our clustering approach leverages on HPC and the longest common subsequence (LCS) algorithm. The approach uses the Hadoop MapReduce programming paradigm and adapts the LCS algorithm in order to efficiently compute the length of the LCS for each pair of SARS-CoV-2 RNA sequences. The latter are extracted from the U.S. National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI) Virus repository. The computed LCS lengths are used to measure the dissimilarities between RNA sequences in order to work out existing clusters. In addition to that, we present a comparative study of the LCS algorithm performance based on variable workloads and different numbers of Hadoop worker nodes.
