최근에 인터넷을 통한 전자경매가 보편화되면서 경매 물품의 가격 결정에 대한 관심이 증가하고 있다. 또한, 경매물품의 낙찰가를 판매자가 결정하거나 정보 검색이론의 사례 유사도에 기초하여 생성하는 에이전트가 연구되고 있다. 그러나, 이것은 경매 물품에 대한 최근의 변화 요인을 반영하지 못하고, 상품 추천에서 사용하는 사례 유사도를 가격 결정에 적용하여 잘못된 가격이 생성되는 경우가 많다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 문제점을 해결하고자 시계열 예측에서 사용하는 지수평활법을 이용하여 최근의 경매자료로부터 경매 등륵 물품의 낙찰 예정가를 자동으로 생성하는 시스템을 제안한다. 성능 실험 결과, 본 시스템을 사용할 경우에 경매 물품의 실제 낙찰가와 차이를 줄여 낙찰률을 높이고, 경매 물품의 객관적인 가격형성이 가능함을 보인다. 또한 기존의 사례 유사도를 이용한 낙찰 예정가 생성 방식과의 성능 비교를 통하여 새로운 방법의 효율성을 나타낸다.

This paper presents an alternative solution for applying MetaHuman facial animations using MediaPipe, providing a versatile option to the Live Link iPhone system. Our approach involves capturing facial expressions with various camera devices, including webcams, laptop cameras, and Android phones, processing the data for landmark detection, and applying these landmarks in Unreal Engine Blueprint to animate MetaHuman characters in real-time. Techniques such as the Eye Aspect Ratio (EAR) for blink detection and the One Euro Filter for data smoothing ensure accurate and responsive animations. Experimental results demonstrate that our system provides a cost-effective and flexible alternative for iPhone non-users, enhancing the accessibility of advanced facial capture technology for applications in digital media and interactive environments. This research offers a practical and adaptable method for real-time facial animation, with future improvements aimed at integrating more sophisticated emotion detection features.

A comparative study was conducted to evaluate the relationship of investing medium to the amount of vertical occlusal changes and to the differences of surface smoothness during denture construction. Three groups of 20 dentures, 30 sets of upper and lower were fabricated of conventional heatcuring acrylic denture base resin, using silicone-gypsum molding techniques, with or without covering the occlusal surfaces of the teeth by artificial stone and all-gypsum molding techniques. The distance between the two reference points indented by 1/2 round bur on the upper and lower frontal surfaces of each articulator were measured and recorded before processing and again after processing and remounting of each denture on the articulator. The differences between the two recordings indicated the amount of vertical opening during denture processing. The difference of surface smoothness were investigated and determined by 3 observers continual comparing of the two randomly selected dentures with each other, which were seperately selected as pairs from the different two groups of 20. The results obtained were as follows: 1. During resin processing no statistically significant differences of the amount of vertical occlusal changes were detected between any of the two groups of two silicone-gypsum and one allgypsum molding techniques, although the amount of vertical opening was somewhat increased when silicone-gypsum molding technique was used. 2. Surface smoothness of the processed denture was makedly by increased when silicone-gypsum molding technique was used.

Various time series representation methods have been suggested in order to process time series data efficiently and effectively. SAX is the representative time series representation method combining segmentation and discretization techniques, which has been successfully applied to the time series classification task. But SAX requires a large number of segments in order to represent the meaningful dynamic patterns of time series accurately, since it loss the dynamic property of time series in the course of smoothing the movement of time series. Therefore, this paper suggests a new time series representation method that combines PIPs detection and Persist discretization techniques. The suggested method represents the dynamic movement of high-diemensional time series in a lower dimensional space by detecting PIPs indicating the important inflection points of time series. And it determines the optimal discretizaton ranges by applying self-transition and marginal probabilities distributions to KL divergence measure. It minimizes the information loss in process of the dimensionality reduction. The suggested method enhances the performance of time series classification task by minimizing the information loss in the course of dimensionality reduction.

This study aimed at analyzing the sensitivity of ozone simulation in accordance with the meteorological nudging for a high nocturnal ozone episode. To demonstrate the effectiveness of nudging methods (e.g., nudging techniques and application domains), the following six experiments were designed: (1) control without nudging, (2) experiment with application of observation nudging to all domains (domain 1~4), and (3)~(6) experiments with application of grid nudging to domain 1, domain 1~2, domain 1~3 and all domains, respectively. As a result, the meteorological nudging had a direct (improvement of input data) and indirect (estimate natural emission) effect on ozone simulation. Nudging effects during the daytime were greater than those during the nighttime due to low accuracy of wind direction during the nighttime. On comparison of the nudging techniques, the experiments in which grid nudging was applied showed more improved results than the experiments in which observation nudging was applied. At this time point, the simulated concentrations were generally similar to the observed concentrations due to the increase in the nudging effect when grid nudging was applied up to the sub-domain. However, for high nocturnal ozone uptakes, the experiment in which grid nudging was applied do domain 1~3 showed better results than the other experiments. This is because, when grid nudging was applied to the high resolution domain (e.g., domain 4 with 1 km), the local characteristics were removed due to the smoothing effects of meteorological conditions.

Real-time traffic data are readily obtainable by traffic surveillance systems of intelligent transportation systems (ITS). Such data greatly support further applications in the field of traffic operations, planning, and safety. However, traffic data should be appropriately processed to fully exploit the benefits of data collection capability. Rather than developing individual data processing techniques, which is major concern of existing studies, this study proposes a novel methodology for evaluating data processing techniques in an integrated manner. Also, a tool for implementing the proposed methodology is developed. Users can extract useful and more reliable traffic data based upon their ultimate purpose of data usage by the evaluation tool developed in this study. Actual freeway traffic data are, as an example, fed into the evaluation tool, and results are discussed.

In this paper, we study two important topics in stereoscopic image communication system. One is a disparity estimation (DE) method to obtain the depth information of a scene at the transmitter and the other is an intermediate view reconstruction(IVR) method at the receiver. We propose a new DE method using an edge-preserving directional regularization technique. The proposed DE method smooths disparity vectors in smooth regions and preserves edges without over-smoothing problem. It provides better reconstructed stereoscopic images and improved coding efficiency than the existing regularization techniques. In addition. we propose a new IVR method using interpolation and extrapolation techniques. The proposed IVR method preserves edge regions as well as occlusion regions well. Thus. it gives better intermediate views than the existing IVR methods.

Images can be contaminated with different types of noise, for different reasons. The neighborhood averaging and smoothing by image averaging are the classical image processing techniques for noise removal. The classical spatial filtering refers to the aggregate of pixels composing an image and operating directly on these pixels. To reduce or remove effectively noise in image sequences, it usually needs to use noise reduction filter based on space or time domain such as method of spatial or temporal filter. However, the method of spatial filter can generally cause that signals of objects as the target are also blurred. In this paper, we propose temporal filter using the piece-wise quadratic function model and enhancement algorithm of image quality for the performance improvement of target detection and tracking by heterogeneous noise reduction. Image tracking simulation that utilizes real IIR(Imaging Infra-Red) images is employed to evaluate the performance of the proposed image processing algorithm.

Since a construction project is a series of works that utilizes resources to accomplish the project goal for a given time period, efficient resource management is a prerequisite for the success of the project. Two major areas of resource management are resource constrained scheduling focusing on the limited resource availability and resource leveling focusing on smoothing resource usage pattern on the fixed project completion time. It is not available, however, to apply both techniques to a project at the same time. This paper proposes a model to enhance the minimum moment algorithm of resource leveling, aiming to find an efficient usage of resources and an appropriate project completion time. A survey is performed to evaluate the major five factors using the AHP.

Damage detection methods based on modal analysis have been widely studied in recent years. However the calculation of mode shapes in real structures can be time consuming and often requires dedicated software programmes. In the present paper the combined application of proper orthogonal decomposition and gapped smoothing method to structural damage detection is presented. The first is used to calculate the dynamic shapes of a damaged structural element using only the time response of the system while the second is used to derive a reference baseline to which compare the data coming from the damaged structure. Experimental verification is provided for a beam case while numerical analyses are conducted on plates. The introduction of a stiffener on a plate is investigated and a method to distinguish its influence from that of a defect is presented. Results highlight that the derivatives of the proper orthogonal modes are more effective damage indices than the modes themselves and that they can be used in damage detection when only data from the damaged structure are available. Furthermore the stiffened plate case shows how the simple use of the curvature is not sufficient when analysing complex components. The combined application of the two techniques provides a possible improvement in damage detection of typical aeronautical structures.
