본 논문에서는 RGB 컬러 정보와 오류 역전파 알고리즘을 이용한 신 차량 번호판 인식 방법을 제안한다. 차량 영상에서 평균 Blue값을 이용하여 차량 영상을 보정한다. 보정된 차량 영상에서 순수 Red픽셀과 현재 픽셀의 차이와 순수 Green 픽셀과 현재의 픽셀의 차이를 각각 구하여 Red 후보 영역과 Green 후보 영역으로 구분한다. 구분된 2개의 후보 영역의 픽셀 값을 오류 역전파 알고리즘에 적용하여 최종 Green 영역을 찾는다. 그리고 오류 역전파 알고리즘에 의해서 Green 영역으로 판명된 영역을 제외한 영역들은 잡음으로 처리한다. 잡음이 제거된 영역에 대해 수평 및 수직 히스토그램의 빈도수를 이용하여 번호판 영역을 추출한다. 추출된 번호판 영역에서 윤곽선 추적 알고리즘을 적용하여 개별 코드들을 추출하고, 오류 역전파 알고리즘을 적용하여 개별 코드들을 인식한다. 제안된 차량 번호판 추출 및 인식 방법의 성능을 평가하기 위하여 실제 비영업용 신 차량 번호판에 적용한 결과, 제안된 번호판 추출 방법이 기존의 HSI 정보를 이용한 번호판 추출 방법보다 추출률이 개선되었고 제안된 차량 번호판 인식 방법이 효율적인 것을 확인하였다.

In this paper, we propose head/rear lamp detection algorithm for stopped and wrong way vehicle recognition. It is shown that our algorithm detected vehicles based on the experimental analysis about the color information of vehicle's lamps. The simulation results show the detection rate about stopped and wrong way vehicles is achieved over 94% and 96% in the tunnel HD(High Definition) video image.

Electrical arc is the final stage of insulation breakdown and has high current density which cause heat and light in insulator. Insulator under electrical arc lost its insulating strength and eternal damages. Conventional criterion of electrical arc resistance in Standards have depended on the change of sound pressure and light color after damages on insulator by electrical arc. The recognition of these changes is done by human himself which was very subjective and resulted in some error to judge whether insulator has damages or not. This paper has shown that antenna method is the appropriate measure to judge electrical arc resistance for insulator. Antenna measures the electromagnetic waves radiated from tungsten electrodes with 6mm gap regulated by KSC2130. Applied voltage cross two tungsten electrodes have two different methods such as 1/8 10 and continuous 10mA. Signal amplitudes obtained by antenna has diminished after the damage of insulator, which will provide objective and good way to judge the electrical arc resistance.

Extracting key visual information from images containing natural scene is a challenging task and an important step for the visually impaired to recognize information based on tactile graphics. In this study, a novel method is proposed for extracting salient regions based on global contrast enhancement and saliency cuts in order to improve the process of recognizing images for the visually impaired. To accomplish this, an image enhancement technique is applied to natural scene images, and a saliency map is acquired to measure the color contrast of homogeneous regions against other areas of the image. The saliency maps also help automatic salient region extraction, referred to as saliency cuts, and assist in obtaining a binary mask of high quality. Finally, outer boundaries and inner edges are detected in images with natural scene to identify edges that are visually significant. Experimental results indicate that the method we propose in this paper extracts salient objects effectively and achieves remarkable performance compared to conventional methods. Our method offers benefits in extracting salient objects and generating simple but important edges from images containing natural scene and for providing information to the visually impaired.

본 논문에서는 기존의 특징점 기반 객체 인식 방법의 확장으로 보완적 특징점 기반의 컬러 정보를 포함하는 기술자를 활용하는 객체 인식 방법을 제안한다. 제안하는 방법은 무늬가 적은 객체에서도 에지의 위치를 샘플링함으로써 보완적 특징점을 생성해 낸다. 그리고 검출된 보완적 특징점으로부터 얻어지는 그레이 값 변화도방향 정보와 컬러 정보를 가지고 있는 기술자를 생성한다. 그리고 생성된 기술자를 객체 단위로 묶어 낼 수 있도록 하는 코드북(Codebook)을 학습함으로써 각 객체를 구분해 낼 수 있는 강건한 히스토그램를 생성한다. 생성된 코드북을 활용함으로써 제안하는 방법은 객체의 크기 및 환경 변화, 3차원 회전의 경우에도 기존의 방법보다 강건하게 인식한다. 실험 결과 제안하는 방법은 75.8% 인식률을 보이는 것을 확인하였다. 이 방법은 증강현실 응용에 정보 제시를 위해 가장 먼저 이루어지는 핵심 기술로써 활용될 수 있다.

In this paper, we propose the fast image retrieval method based on object regions using bidirectional round filter in the wavelet transform region. A conventional method that extracts feature vectors on the whole of subband is reduced retrieval efficiency, because of unnecessary background information. The proposed method that extracts feature vectors on the only object region of subband by using bidirectional round filter improve retrieval efficiency, because of removing of background information. And it certainly maintains retrieval efficiency in case of reduction of feature vectors according to color information. Consequently, the retrieval efficiency is improved with 2.5%∼5.3% values, which have a little changes according to characteristics of image.

AR은 VR과 달리 실세계 공간의 객체에 대한 서비스를 제공하므로 서비스 개발을 방해하는 많은 요인들이 발생한다. 이를 보완하기위해 비주얼 마커, SLAM, 객체인식 등 여러 AR 기술이 존재한다. 본 논문은 AR 기술 중에서 객체인식의 정확도 향상을 위해 지역가변 이진화(Local variable binarization)와 색상의 군집화를 사용해서 이미지에서 객체를 추출하는 방법을 제안한다. 지역 가변화는 픽셀을 순차적으로 읽어 들이면서 픽셀 주위의 값의 평균을 구하고, 이 값을 해당 픽셀의 임계 값으로 사용하는 알고리즘이다. 픽셀마다 주위 색상 값에 의해 임계 값이 변화되므로 윤곽선 표현이 기존의 이진화보다 뚜렷이 나타난다. 색상의 군집화는 객체의 중요색상과 배경의 중요색상을 중심으로 유사한 색상끼리 군집화 하는 것이다. 객체 내에서 가장 많이 나온 값과 객체 외에 가장 많이 나온 값을 각 각 기준으로 색조와 채도의 값을 Euclidean 거리를 사용해 객체의 색상과 배경 색상을 분리했다.

Objective : This study is planned to determine the neurocognitive difficulties of hydrocephalic adults. Methods : The research group contained healthy adults (control group, n : 15), and hydrocephalic adults (n : 15). Hydrocephalic group consisted of patients with idiopathic aquaduct stenosis and post-meningitis hydrocephalus. All patients were followed with shunted hydrocephalus and not gone to shunt revision during last two years. They were chosen from either asymptomatic or had only minor symptoms without motor and sensorineural deficit. A neuropsychological test battery (Raven Standart Progressive Matrices, Bender-Gestalt Test, Cancellation Test, Clock Drawing Test, Facial Recognition Test, Line Orientation Test, Serial Digit Learning Test, Stroop Color Word Interference Test-TBAG Form, Verbal Fluency Test, Verbal Fluency Test, Visual-Aural Digit Span Test-B) was applied to all groups. Results : Neuropsychological assessment of hydrocephalic patients demonstrated that they had poor performance on visual, semantic and working memory, visuoconstructive and frontal functions, reading, attention, motor coordination and executive function of parietal lobe which related with complex and perseverative behaviour. Eventually, these patients had significant impairment on the neurocognitive functions of their frontal, parietal and temporal lobes. On the other hand, the statistical analyses performed on demographic data showed that the aetiology of the hydrocephalus, age, sex and localization of the shunt (frontal or posterior parietal) did not affect the test results. Conclusion : This prospective study showed that adult patients with hydrocephalus have serious neuropsychological problems which might be directly caused by the hydrocephalus; and these problems may cause serious adaptive difficulties in their social, cultural, behavioral and academic life.

In this paper, we implemented a deep learning-based automatic object tracking and handy motion control drone system and analyzed the performance of the proposed system. The drone system automatically detects and tracks targets by analyzing images obtained from the drone's camera using deep learning algorithms, consisting of the YOLO, the MobileNet, and the deepSORT. Such deep learning-based detection and tracking algorithms have both higher target detection accuracy and processing speed than the conventional color-based algorithm, the CAMShift. In addition, in order to facilitate the drone control by hand from the ground control station, we classified handy motions and generated flight control commands through motion recognition using the YOLO algorithm. It was confirmed that such a deep learning-based target tracking and drone handy motion control system stably track the target and can easily control the drone.

In this paper, we studied about the extraction of the parameter and implementation of speechreading system to recognize the Korean 8 vowel. Face features are detected by amplifying, reducing the image value and making a comparison between the image value which is represented for various value in various color space. The eyes position, the nose position, the inner boundary of lip, the outer boundary of upper lip and the outer line of the tooth is found to the feature and using the analysis the area of inner lip, the hight and width of inner lip, the outer line length of the tooth rate about a inner mouth area and the distance between the nose and outer boundary of upper lip are used for the parameter. 2400 data are gathered and analyzed. Based on this analysis, the neural net is constructed and the recognition experiments are performed. In the experiment, 5 normal persons were sampled. The observational error between samples was corrected using normalization method. The experiment show very encouraging result about the usefulness of the parameter.
