This paper proposes an algorithm for human sensibility evaluation using 4-channel EEG signals of the prefrontal and the parietal lobes. The algorithm uses an artificial neural network and the multiple templates. The linear prediction coefficients are used as the feature parameters of human sensibility. Comfortableness and temperature/humidity are evaluated. Many conventional researches have emphasized that a wave of left prefrontal lobe is activated in case of positive sensibility and that of right prefrontal lobe is activated in case of negative sensibility. So the power ratio of n wave is obtained from for computation and the results are compared. The results of the comfortableness evaluation for temperature and humidity showed that the outputs of the proposed algorithm coincided with corresponding sensibilities depending on the task of the temperature and the humidity. The conventional method using a wave is hardly related with comfortableness. And it is also observed that the uncomfortable state due to the high temperature and humidity can be easily changed to the comfortable state by small drop of the temperature and the humidity.

Solar power generation influenced by the weather. Using the weather forecast information, it is possible to predict the short-term solar power generation in the future. However, in limited circumstances such as islands or mountains, it can not be use weather forecast information by the disconnection of the network, it is impossible to use solar power generation prediction model using weather forecast. Therefore, in this paper, we propose a system that can predict the short-term solar power generation by using the information that can be collected by the system itself. We developed a short-term prediction model using the prior information of temperature and power generation amount to improve the accuracy of the prediction. We showed the usefulness of proposed prediction model by applying to actual solar power generation data.

제6세대 컴퓨터로 불리는 신경컴퓨터는 학습과 병렬처리에 의해 인간의 두뇌 기능을 모방한다. 인간의 두뇌는 시각인식, 음성인식, 촉각감지 등 패턴인식뿐 아니라 인간의 복잡한 신체구조를 시각, 촉각 같은 감각기관의 도움을 얻어 움직이는 중요한 역할도 한다. 바로 이 모터제어(motor control) 역시 신경회로가 담당하기 때문에 이를 기계적 신체에 해당하는 로보트 또는 광범위하게 기계, 비행기, 산업공정에 응용하는 것은 매우 자연스럽게 보인다. 이처럼 신경회로가 제어에 응용되는 것을 신경제어 (neurocontrol)라 하고 이를 이용한 기계를 지능기계(intelligent machinery)라 한다. 지능기계는 기본적으로 인간처럼 경험축적 학습 불확실한 환경에서의 적응 자기진단 등의 장점을 가지고 있다. 신경회로의 지극히 광범위한 응용분야중 신경제어는 가장 먼저 실현될 가능성이 높다. 실제로 로보트나 공정제어(process control)처럼 복잡한 비선형 시스템의 제어는 다량의 센서 정보에 기초한 실시간 제어를 필수로 하며 이는 신경회로를 사용함으로써 가장 효율적, 경제적으로 구현할 수 있다. 실제로 신경제어는 전세계적으로 이미 시스템 제어에 응용되어 좋은 결과를 내고 있다. 신경회로의 로보트나 자동화 응용은 학술적인 측면에서는 복잡한 비선형 시스템의 지능제어 (intelligent control)문제에 대한 신선한 해결책을 마련해줄 뿐 아니라 산업자동화라는 막대한 시장을 뒤로 하고 있어 이론에서 실제에 걸쳐 가장 광범위한 파급효과를 가지는 최첨단 기술로 보여진다. 고부가가치 상품을 통한 국제 경쟁력 제고의 차원에서도 정부, 기업 등의 과감한 연구 개발투자가 선행되어야 한다. 특히 이 분야의 연구는 선진국도 최근에 시작한 점으로 보아 정부, 기업이 이에 대한 연구 개발투자를 현명하게 할 경우에 세계적 기술 경쟁력도 확보할 수 있을 것이다. 본 해설에서는 로보트 및 시스템 제어에 관한 기초 이론을 설명하고 신경회로 적용기술을 소개하고 기존 방법과 비교 했을 때의 우월성, 전세계적인 응용연구, 국내외 연구개발 현황, 상업화 가능성, 산업계 응용례, 기술상의 문제점, 향후 전망 등을 다루기로 한다.

Recently, studies of facial attribute editing have obtained realistic results using generative adversarial net (GAN) and encoder-decoder structure. Spatial attention GAN (SaGAN), one of the latest researches, is the method that can change only desired attribute in a face image by spatial attention mechanism. However, sometimes unnatural results are obtained due to insufficient information on face areas. In this paper, we propose an improved SaGAN (MSaGAN) using a guide mask for learning and applying multitask learning approach to improve the limitations of the existing methods. Through extensive experiments, we evaluated the results of the facial attribute editing in therms of the mask loss function and the neural network structure. It has been shown that the proposed method can efficiently produce more natural results compared to the previous methods.

The application of object recognition technology has been increased with a growing need to introduce automated system in industry. However, object transformed by noises and shadows appeared from illumination causes challenge problem in object detection and recognition.

Identifying Emerging Technology Trends is crucial for decision makers of nations and organizations in order to use limited resources, such as time, money, etc., efficiently. Many researchers have proposed emerging trend detection systems based on a popularity analysis of the document, but this still needs to be improved. In this paper, an emerging trend detection classifier is proposed which uses both academic and industrial data, SCOPUS and PATSTAT. Unlike most pre-vious research, our emerging technology trend classifi-er utilizes supervised, semi-automatic, machine learning techniques to improve the precision of the results. In addition, the citation information from among the SCOPUS data is analyzed to identify the early signals of emerging technology trends.

In this paper, we propose an improved numeric character recognition method which can recognize numeric characters well under low-illuminated and shade-illuminated environment. The LN(Local Normalization) preprocessing method is used in order to enhance low-illuminated and shade-illuminated image quality. The reading area is detected using line segment information extracted from the illumination-normalized meter images, and then the three-phase procedures are performed for segmentation of numeric characters in the reading area. Finally, an efficient hybrid classifier is used to classify the segmented numeric characters. The proposed numeric character classifier is a combination of multi-layered feedforward neural network and template matching module. Robust heuristic rules are applied to classify the numeric characters. Experiments using meter image database were conducted. Meter image database was made using various kinds of meters under low-illuminated and shade-illuminated environment. The experimental results indicates the superiority of the proposed numeric character recognition method.
