Pattern recognition of a cucumber were conducted to detect directly the binary images by using thresholding method, which have the threshold level at the optimum intensity value. By restricting conditions of learning pattern, output patterns could be extracted from the same and similar input patterns by the algorithm. The algorithm of pattern recognition was developed to determine the position of the cucumber from a real image within working condition. The algorithm, designed and developed for this project, learned two, three or four learning pattern, and each learning pattern applied it to twenty sample patterns. The restored success rate of output pattern to sample pattern form two, three or four learning pattern was 65.0%, 45.0%, 12.5% respectively. The more number of learning pattern had, the more number of different out pattern detected when it was conversed. Detection of feature pattern of cucumber was processed by using auto scanning with real image of 30 by 30 pixel. The computing times required to execute the processing time of cucumber recognition took 0.5 to 1 second. Also, five real images tested, false pattern to the learning pattern is found that it has an elimination rate which is range from 96 to 98%. Some output patterns was recognized as a cucumber by the algorithm with the conditions. the rate of false recognition was range from 0.1 to 4.2%.

Fingerprint recognition is a biometric technology to identify individual by using fingerprint features such ridges and valleys. Most fingerprint systems perform the recognition based on minutiae points after acquiring a fingerprint image from contact type sensor. They have an advantage of acquiring a clear image of uniform size by touching finger on the sensor. However, they have the problems of the image quality can be reduced in case of severely dry or wet finger due to the variations of touching pressure and latent fingerprint on the sensor. To solve these problems, the contactless capturing devices for a fingerprint image was introduced in previous works. However, the accuracy of detecting minutiae points and recognition performance are reduced due to the degradation of image quality by the illumination variation. So, this paper proposes a new LDP-based fingerprint recognition method. It can effectively extract fingerprint patterns of iterative ridges and valleys. After producing histograms of the binary codes which are extracted by the LDP method, chi square distance between the enrolled and input feature histograms is calculated. The calculated chi square distance is used as the score of fingerprint recognition. As the experimental results, the EER of the proposed approach is reduced by 0.521% in comparison with that of the previous LBP-based fingerprint recognition approach.

In the medical image application the difference of intensity is widely used for the image segmentation and feature extraction, and a well known method is the threshold technique that determines a threshold value and generates a binary image based on the threshold. A frequently-used threshold technique is the Otsu algorithm that provides efficient processing and effective selection criterion for choosing the threshold value. However, we cannot get good segmentation results by applying the Otsu algorithm to chest X-ray images. It is because there are various organic structures around lung regions such as ribs and blood vessels, causing unclear distribution of intensity levels. To overcome the ambiguity, we propose in this paper an effective algorithm to extract pulmonary regions that utilizes the Otsu algorithm after removing the background of an X-ray image, constructs intensity-level maps, and uses them for segmenting the X-ray image. To verify the effectiveness of our method, we compared it with the existing 1-dimensional and 2-dimensional Otsu algorithms, and also the results by expert's naked eyes. The experimental result showed that our method achieved the more accurate extraction of pulmonary regions compared to the Otsu methods and showed the similar result as the naked eye's one.

Recently, the number of APT(Advanced Persistent Threats) attack using malware has been increasing, and research is underway to prevent and detect them. While it is important to detect and block attacks before they occur, it is also important to make an effective response through an accurate analysis for attack case and attack type, these respond which can be determined by analyzing the attack group of such attacks. Therefore, this paper propose a framework based on genetic algorithm for analyzing malware and understanding attacker group's features. The framework uses decompiler and disassembler to extract related code in collected malware, and analyzes information related to author through code analysis. Malware has unique characteristics that only it has, which can be said to be features that can identify the author or attacker groups of that malware. So, we select specific features only having attack group among the various features extracted from binary and source code through the authorship clustering method, and apply genetic algorithm to accurate clustering to infer specific features. Also, we find features which based on characteristics each group of malware authors has that can express each group, and create profiles to verify that the group of authors is correctly clustered. In this paper, we do experiment about author classification using genetic algorithm and finding specific features to express author characteristic. In experiment result, we identified an author classification accuracy of 86% and selected features to be used for authorship analysis among the information extracted through genetic algorithm.

This paper proposes a method to detect a facial region and extract facial features which is crucial for visual recognition of human faces. In this paper, we extract the MER(Minimum Enclosing Rectangle) of a face and facial components using projection analysis on both edge image and binary image. We use an active contour model(snakes) for extraction of the contours of eye, mouth, eyebrow, and face in order to reflect the individual differences of facial shapes and converge quickly. The determination of initial contour is very important for the performance of snakes. Particularly, we detect Minimum Enclosing Rectangle(MER) of facial components and then determine initial contours using general shape of facial components within the boundary of the obtained MER. We obtained experimental results to show that MER extraction of the eye, mouth, and face was performed successfully. But in the case of images with bright eyebrow, MER extraction of eyebrow was performed poorly. We obtained good contour extraction with the individual differences of facial shapes. Particularly, in the eye contour extraction, we combined edges by first order derivative operator and zero crossings by second order derivative operator in designing energy function of snakes, and we achieved good eye contours. For the face contour extraction, we used both edges and grey level intensity of pixels in designing of energy function. Good face contours were extracted as well.

This study attempts to redefine the concept of 'fairness' of Korean public broadcasting and tries to build a new model for evaluating the fairness of Korean public broadcasting. The author insists that the fairness in public broadcasting consists of binary components of the public and rightful reporting, and views that the public reporting represents of neutralness, balance and impartiality while the rightful reporting represents of factuality, multiplicity and the protection of social minorities. The author suggests that two criteria of the public and rightful reporting results in four models of 'shepherd', 'acrobat', 'tribune', and 'trumpeter' in accord with its focus on the public and the rightful reporting. Survey toward the professionals in public broadcasting in academia was conducted and addressed the fact that Korean public broadcasting is close to the trumpeter model with some feature of acrobat.

There has been increasing interest in automatic term recognition (ATR), which recognizes technical terms for given domain specific texts. ATR is composed of 'term extraction', which extracts candidates of technical terms and 'term selection' which decides whether terms in a term list derived from 'term extraction' are technical terms or not. 'term selection' is a process to rank a term list depending on features of technical term and to find the boundary between technical term and general term. The previous works just use statistical features of terms for 'term selection'. However, there are limitations on effectively selecting technical terms among a term list using the statistical feature. The objective of this paper is to find effective features for 'term selection' by considering various aspects of technical terms. In order to solve the ranking problem, we derive various features of technical terms and combine the features using machine-learning algorithms. For solving the boundary finding problem, we define it as a binary classification problem which classifies a term in a term list into technical term and general term. Experiments show that our method records 78-86% precision and 87%-90% recall in boundary finding, and 89%-92% 11-point precision in ranking. Moreover, our method shows higher performance than the previous work's about 26% in maximum.

Recently, with increase and development of the wireless access network area, u-GIS Service is supported in various fields. Especially, spatio-temporal data is used in the mobile environment for the u-GIS service. However, there is no standard for the spatio-temporal data used in different spaces, spatio-temporal data processing technology is necessary to makes interoperability among mobile u-GIS services. Furthermore, it is also necessary to develop the system of gathering, storing, and managing the spatio-temporal data in consideration of small capacity and low performance of mobile devices. Therefore, in this paper, we designed and implemented a spatio-temporal query processing system based on GML to manage spatio-temporal data efficiently in the mobile environment. The spatio-temporal query processing system based on GML can offer a structured storage method which maps a GML schema to a storage table and a binary XML storage method which uses the Fast Infoset technique, so as to support interoperability that is an important feature of GML and increase storage efficiency. we can also provide spatio-temporal operators for rapid query processing of spatio-temporal data of GML documents. In addition, we proved that this system can be utilized for the u-GIS service to implement a virtual scenario.

Recently, data-driven decision-making technology has become a key technology leading the data industry, and machine learning technology for this requires high-quality training datasets. However, real-world data contains missing values for various reasons, which degrades the performance of prediction models learned from the poor training data. Therefore, in order to build a high-performance model from real-world datasets, many studies on automatically imputing missing values in initial training data have been actively conducted. Many of conventional machine learning-based imputation techniques for handling missing data involve very time-consuming and cumbersome work because they are applied only to numeric type of columns or create individual predictive models for each columns. Therefore, this paper proposes a new data imputation technique called 'Denoising Self-Attention Network (DSAN)', which can be applied to mixed-type dataset containing both numerical and categorical columns. DSAN can learn robust feature expression vectors by combining self-attention and denoising techniques, and can automatically interpolate multiple missing variables in parallel through multi-task learning. To verify the validity of the proposed technique, data imputation experiments has been performed after arbitrarily generating missing values for several mixed-type training data. Then we show the validity of the proposed technique by comparing the performance of the binary classification models trained on imputed data together with the errors between the original and imputed values.
