The concept of six sigma was introduced at and popularized by Motorola in its quest to reduce defects of manufactured electronics products. When used as a metric, six sigma technically means having no more than 3.4 defects per million opportunities in any process, product, or service. More important than the technical definition is the concept of six sigma as a disciplined, quantitative approach for improvement of defined metrics in manufacturing, service, or financial processes. This approach derives the overall process of selecting the right projects based on their potential to improve performance metrics and selecting and training the right people to get the business results.

인공지능 기술의 전 산업 분야로 확산되면서 기존 SaaS에 인공지능 서비스가 탑재된 AIaaS가 등장하고 있다. 특히 비IT 분야 기업들에서는 소프트웨어 전문가의 부재, 빅 데이터 모델 훈련의 어려움, 다양한 형태의 데이터들에 대한 수집 및 분석에 대한 어려움 등을 겪고 있다. AIaaS는 인공지능 소프트웨어 개발에 필요한 다양한 IT 자원들 뿐만 아니라 인공지능 소프트웨어에 필요한 기능들을 서비스 형태로 제공함으로써 사용자들에게는 보다 쉽고 경제적으로 시스템을 구축할 수 있게 한다. 따라서 이러한 클라우드 기반의 AIaaS 서비스에 대한 수요와 공급은 점점 급증할 것이다. 그런데 이처럼 AIaaS에 대한 수요와 공급이 증가함에 따라 요구되는 것이 AIaaS에서 제공하는 서비스들의 품질이 중요한 요소가 된다. 그러나, 현재 이를 측정하기 위한 포괄적이고 실용적인 품질 평가 메트릭에 대한 연구가 미흡하다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 AIaaS의 서비스 품질 측정 요소 중 재사용성 평가를 위해 AIaaS가 갖는 특징인 구현성, 편리성, 효율성, 접근성을 기반으로 재사용성 측정에 필요한 4가지 메트릭인 사용성, 교체성, 확장성, 홍보성 메트릭을 개발하여 제안한다. 제안된 메트릭은 AIaaS에서 제공하는 서비스들이 향후 잠재된 사용자들에게 얼마나 재사용할 수 있는지를 예측하는 도구로 사용될 수 있다.

This paper presents NR (No Reference) Quality assessment method for IPTV or mobile IPTV. Because No Reference quality assessment method does not access the original signal so it is suitable for the real-time streaming service. Our proposed method use decoding parameters, such as quantization parameter, motion vector, and packet loss as a major network parameter. To evaluate performance of the proposed algorithm, we carried out subjective test of video quality with the ITU-T P.910 ACR (Absolute Category Rating) method and obtained the mean opinion score (MOS) value for QVGA 180 video sequence coded by H.264/AVC encoder. Experimental results show the proposed quality metric has a high correlation (84%) to subjective quality.

Impact noise is induced in a car when it is driven on a harsh road or over some bumps. This noise occurs with the very high level of sound, which affects passengers in some way or other. Although it is impossible to clearly remove such noise, it is necessary to research an improvement in sound quality for impact noise. A new sound metric for impact sound is presented. This metric is verified by comparison between mean subjective ratings and several sound metrics. In this paper, more objective attributes are considered, which the attributes are expressing the level and modulation of sound. Three sound metrics are employed to get impact sound indexes for each course by the method of multiple linear regressions. The indexes are verified by considering the correlation between the estimated values from the multiple linear regressions and the mean subjective ratings by evaluators. Also, the subjective ratings on the indexes are estimated for the case in which some parts of suspension system are changed. The estimated ratings represent more reasonable or acceptable ratings. Thus, such indexes can be used for modification of the parts of suspension system under considering a good sound quality.

Amid rapidly increasing imagery inputs and their volume in a remote sensing imagery database, Content-Based Image Retrieval (CBIR) is an effective tool to search for an image feature or image content of interest a user wants to retrieve. It seeks to capture salient features from a 'query' image, and then to locate other instances of image region having similar features elsewhere in the image database. For a CBIR approach that uses texture as a primary feature primitive, designing a texture descriptor to better represent image contents is a key to improve CBIR results. For this purpose, an extended feature vector combining the Gabor filter and co-occurrence histogram method is suggested and evaluated for quantitywise and qualitywise retrieval performance criterion. For the better CBIR performance, assessing similarity between high dimensional feature vectors is also a challenging issue. Therefore a number of distance metrics (i.e. L1 and L2 norm) is tried to measure closeness between two feature vectors, and its impact on retrieval result is analyzed. In this paper, experimental results are presented with several CBIR samples. The current results show that 1) the overall retrieval quantity and quality is improved by combining two types of feature vectors, 2) some feature is better retrieved by a specific feature vector, and 3) retrieval result quality (i.e. ranking of retrieved image tiles) is sensitive to an adopted similarity metric when the extended feature vector is employed.

Conventional MSE or PSNR based methods for objective picture quality assessment of moving picture coder are not well correlated with subjective human evaluation. In recent years, the design of better objective quality assessment has attracted much intention and several picture quality metrics based on the properties of Human Visual System has been proposed. This paper proposes new metric which is appropriate for objective picture quality assessment of block based moving picture coder by considering frequency sensitivity, inter-intra channel masking and several distortion artifacts caused by block based coding. The experimental results show that the proposed method is good correlated with subjective assessment.

The purpose of this study is to identify the significant sound quality metric and compose the sound quality index of motor driven roller blind which is part of vehicle sunroof. Before subjective evaluation, sound characteristics of roller blind was analyzed and set the target operating sound for subjective evaluation. Thus, transfer sound of roller blind which has the characteristics of sound modulation was used for subjective evaluation. Linear regression was carried out by chosen Zwicker's metrics which are pointed by comments of jurors. Loudness and sharpness related metrics are prime metrics in sound quality index we composed. Effect of roller blind assay when it is attached to real vehicle was identified to evaluate the validity of index.

CRT디스플레이의 화질 평가에는 위도, 콘트라스트, addressability, 시청거리 등의 다양한 물리적 특성치가 사용된다. 그러나, 최종적인 CRT디스플레이 화질의 비교·평가는 물리적 특성치가 아닌 실제 사용자가 느끼는 화질 즉, 주관적 인지 화질에 의해 이루어진다. 본 논문에서는 4종류 CRT모니터의 SQRI(SQuare Root Integral) 값과 다수의 피험자에 의한 주관적 화질 평가 점수와의 상관성이 비교되었다. 그리고, 이러한 SQRI법의 주관적 화질 평가 척도로서의 타당성을 바탕으로 모니터의 다양한 물리적 특성치가 주관적 화질에 미치는 영향이 검토되었다.

In reverse engineering, existing products are digitized fur the computer modeling. Using the digitized data, surfaces are modeled for new products. However, in the digitizing process measuring errors or deviations can be happened often in practice. Thus, it is important to adjust such errors or deviations during the computer modeling. To adjust the errors, fairing of the modeled surfaces is performed. In this paper, we present a surface fairing algorithm based on various fairness metrics. Fairness metrics can be discrete. We adopt discrete metrics for fairing given 3D point set. The fairness metrics include discrete principal curvatures. In this paper, automatic fairing process is proposed for fairing given 3D point sets for surfaces. The process uses various fairness criteria so that it is adequate to adopt designers'intents.
