This study explored the effects of recent 'single life' media contents on the spread of singlehood culture for Korean youth. Extant research on the changing trends across present-centered vs. future-oriented lifestyles had focused mainly on demographic or sociological factors. "Lifestyle transforming (entertainment) reality contents" perspective suggests that reality contents revealing one's personal daily life provides not just entertaining enjoyment but also and more importantly meaningful life-changing experiences for viewers. Given the dependency of single household youth on media use, it is expected that 'singlehood life' media contents such as reality television and YouTube Vlog would have greater influence on viewers' own reality and lifestyles. Survey results indicate that viewership of 'singlehood life' contents showed significant impacts on youth viewers' identification and unmarriedness, as well as present-centered and future-oriented lifestyles. Theoretical and practical implications of these results were discussed.

In this paper, we implement an unmanned delivery robot system with Robot Operating System(ROS)-based mobile manipulator, and introduce the technologies employed for the system implementation. The robot consists of a mobile robot capable of autonomous navigation inside the building using an elevator and a Selective Compliance Assembly Robot Arm(SCARA)-Type manipulator equipped with a vacuum pump. The robot can determines the position and orientation for picking up a package through image segmentation and corner detection using the camera on the manipulator. The proposed system has a user interface implemented to check the delivery status and determine the real-time location of the robot through a web server linked to the application and ROS, and recognizes the shipment and address at the delivery station through You Only Look Once(YOLO) and Optical Character Recognition(OCR). The effectiveness of the system is validated through delivery experiments conducted within a 4-story building.

Measuring the growth of fish in fish farms still uses a laborious method. This method requires a lot of labor and causes stress to the fish, which has a negative impact on mortality. To solve this problem, we propose the Fish Growth Regression System (FGRS), a system to automate the growth of fish. FGRS consists of two modules. The first is a module that detects fish based on Yolo v8, and the second consists of a module that predicts the growth of fish using fish image data and a CNN-based neural network model. As a result of the simulation, the average prediction error before learning was 134.2 days, but after learning, the average error decreased to 39.8 days. It is expected that the system proposed in this paper can be used to predict the growing date and use the growth prediction of fish to contribute to automation in fish farms, resulting in a significant reduction in labor and cost savings.

Purpose: We would like to confirm that the false positive rate of flames/smoke is high when detecting fires. Propose a method and dataset to recognize and classify fire situations to reduce the false detection rate. Method: Using the video as learning data, the characteristics of the fire situation were extracted and applied to the classification model. For evaluation, the model performance of Yolov8 and Slowfast were compared and analyzed using the fire dataset conducted by the National Information Society Agency (NIA). Result: YOLO's detection performance varies sensitively depending on the influence of the background, and it was unable to properly detect fires even when the fire scale was too large or too small. Since SlowFast learns the time axis of the video, we confirmed that detects fire excellently even in situations where the shape of an atypical object cannot be clearly inferred because the surrounding area is blurry or bright. Conclusion: It was confirmed that the fire detection rate was more appropriate when using a video-based artificial intelligence detection model rather than using image data.

With a continuous occurrence of right-turn traffic accidents at intersections, there is an increasing demand for measures to address these incidents. In response, a technology has been developed to detect the presence of pedestrians through object detection in CCTV footage at right-turn areas and display warning messages on the screen to alert drivers. The YOLO (You Only Look Once) model, a type of object detection model, was employed to assess the performance of object detection. An algorithm was also devised to address misidentification issues and generate warning messages when pedestrians are detected. The accuracy of recognizing pedestrians or objects and outputting warning messages was measured at approximately 82%, suggesting a potential contribution to preventing right-turn accidents

Accidents at construction sites have a very high rate of fatalities due to the nature of being prone to severe injury patients. In order to reduce the mortality rate of severely injury patients, quick response is required, and some systems that detect accidents using AI technology and cameras have been devised to respond quickly to accidents. However, since existing accident detection systems use only a single camera, there are blind spots, Thus, they cannot detect all accidents at a construction site. Therefore, in this paper, we present the system that minimizes the detection blind spot by using multiple cameras. Our implemented system extracts feature points from the images of multiple cameras with the YOLO-pose library, and inputs the extracted feature points to a Long Short Term Memory-based recurrent neural network in order to detect accidents. In our experimental result, we confirme that the proposed system shows high accuracy while minimizing detection blind spots by using multiple cameras.

In this paper, we propose a hybrid camera system that combines cameras with different focal lengths and LiDAR (Light Detection and Ranging) sensors to address the core components of autonomous driving perception technology, which include object recognition and distance measurement. We extract objects within the scene and generate precise location and distance information for these objects using the proposed hybrid camera system. Initially, we employ the YOLO7 algorithm, widely utilized in the field of autonomous driving due to its advantages of fast computation, high accuracy, and real-time processing, for object recognition within the scene. Subsequently, we use multi-focal cameras to create depth maps to generate object positions and distance information. To enhance distance accuracy, we integrate the 3D distance information obtained from LiDAR sensors with the generated depth maps. In this paper, we introduce not only an autonomous vehicle platform capable of more accurately perceiving its surroundings during operation based on the proposed hybrid camera system, but also provide precise 3D spatial location and distance information. We anticipate that this will improve the safety and efficiency of autonomous vehicles.

The COVID-19 pandemic has led to the widespread adoption of contactless transactions, resulting in a noticeable increase in the trend towards fully unmanned stores. In such stores, all operational processes are automated, primarily using artificial intelligence (AI) technology. However, this AI technology has several security vulnerabilities, which can be critical in the environment of fully unmanned stores. This paper analyzes the security vulnerabilities that AI-based fully unmanned stores may face, focusing particularly on the object detection model YOLO, demonstrating that Hiding Attacks and Altering Attacks using adversarial patches are possible. It is confirmed that objects with adversarial patches attached may not be recognized by the detection model or may be incorrectly recognized as other objects. Furthermore, the paper analyzes how Data Augmentation techniques can mitigate security threats by providing a defensive effect against adversarial patch attacks. Based on these results, we emphasize the need for proactive research into defensive measures to address the inherent security threats in AI technology used in fully unmanned stores.

In addressing the prominent issues of climate change, resource scarcity, and environmental pollution associated with household waste, extensive research has been conducted on intelligent waste classification methods. These efforts range from traditional classification algorithms to machine learning and neural networks. However, challenges persist in effectively classifying waste in diverse environments and conditions due to insufficient datasets, increased complexity in neural network architectures, and performance limitations for real-world applications. Therefore, this paper proposes i-YOLOX as a solution for rapid classification and improved accuracy. The proposed model is evaluated based on network parameters, detection speed, and accuracy. To achieve this, a dataset comprising 10,000 samples of household waste, spanning 17 waste categories, is created. The i-YOLOX architecture is constructed by introducing the Involution channel convolution operator and the Convolution Branch Attention Module (CBAM) into the YOLOX structure. A comparative analysis is conducted with the performance of the existing YOLO architecture. Experimental results demonstrate that i-YOLOX enhances the detection speed and accuracy of waste objects in complex scenes compared to conventional neural networks. This confirms the effectiveness of the proposed i-YOLOX architecture in the detection and classification of multiple household waste objects.

Coastal debris presents a significant environmental threat globally. This research sought to improve the monitoring methods for coastal debris by employing deep learning and remote sensing technologies. To achieve this, an object detection approach utilizing the You Only Look Once (YOLO)v8 model was implemented to develop a comprehensive image dataset for 11 primary types of coastal debris in our country, proposing a protocol for the real-time detection and analysis of debris. Drone imagery was collected over Sinja Island, situated at the estuary of the Nakdong River, and analyzed using our custom YOLOv8-based analysis program to identify type-specific hotspots of coastal debris. The deployment of these mapping and analysis methodologies is anticipated to be effectively utilized in managing coastal debris.
