When a satellite image has low spatial resolution, it is difficult to detect small objects. In this research, we aim to check the effect of super resolution on object detection. Super resolution is a software method that increases the resolution of an image. Unpaired super resolution network is used to improve Sentinel-2's spatial resolution from 10 m to 3.2 m. Faster-RCNN, RetinaNet, FCOS, and S²ANet were used to detect vessels in the Sentinel-2 images. We experimented the change in vessel detection performance when super resolution is applied. As a result, the Average Precision (AP) improved by at least 12.3% and up to 33.3% in the ship detection models trained with the super-resolution image. False positive and false negative cases also decreased. This implies that super resolution can be an important pre-processing step in object detection, and it is expected to greatly contribute to improving the accuracy of other image-based deep learning technologies along with object detection.

In order to monitor nuclear activity in inaccessible areas, it is necessary to establish a methodology to analyze changesin nuclear activity-related objects using high-resolution satellite images. However, traditional object detection and change detection techniques using satellite images have difficulties in applying detection results to various fields because effects of seasons and weather at the time of image acquisition. Therefore, in this paper, an object of interest was detected in a satellite image using a deep learning model, and object changes in the satellite image were analyzed based on object detection results. An initial training of the deep learning model was performed using an open dataset for object detection, and additional training dataset for the region of interest were generated and applied to transfer learning. After detecting objects by multitemporal and multisensory satellite images, we tried to detect changes in objects in the images by using them. In the experiments, it was confirmed that the object detection results of various satellite images can be directly used for change detection for nuclear activity-related monitoring in inaccessible areas.

As interest in traffic safety increases, research on autonomous driving, which reduces the incidence of traffic accidents, is increased. Object recognition and detection are essential for autonomous driving. Therefore, research on object recognition and detection through traffic image big data is being actively conducted to determine the road conditions. However, because most existing studies use only daytime data, it is difficult to recognize objects on night roads. Particularly, in the case of a light source object, it is difficult to use the features of the daytime as it is due to light smudging and whitening. Therefore, this study proposes Yolo based light source object detection for traffic image big data processing. The proposed method performs image processing by applying color model transitions to night traffic image. The object group is determined by extracting the characteristics of the object through image processing. It is possible to increase the recognition rate of light source object detection on a night road through a deep learning model using candidate group data.

최근 로봇에 관한 연구가 꾸진히 진행 중인 가운데, 로봇이 현재 상황을 파악하고 적절한 서비스를 제공해 주기 위하여 위치 정보가 많이 활용되고 있다. 이러한 위치 정보는 월드 모델링(world modeling)을 통하여 로봇이 처한 환경에서 사용자(nomadic human)의 위치 경로와 공간에 구성되어 있는 객체들의 위치를 비교하거나 관계를 탐지하고 적절한 규칙을 사용해 추론함으로써 사용자의 서비스 요청을 수행하기 위해 쓰일 수 있다. 본 논문은 로봇 환경에서의 상황인지를 위한 월드 모델링을 제안한다. 제안된 월드 모델링은 로봇과 사람과의 관계와 사랑과 사물(object)간의 관계를 정의하며 시간의 흐름에 따른 위치변화를 이용하여 각 대상간의 관계의 변화와 그에 따른 의미(semantic) 도출을 목적으로 한다. 본 시스템은 크게 네 개의 계층으로 구성되어 있다. 첫째, 센서 계층(Sensor layer)은 센서로부터 객체의 위치정보를 얻어내어 센서 데이터를 구성한다. 둘째, 질적 관계 계층(qualitative layer)은 센서 데이터를 기반으로 하여 객체간의 상대적인 위치 관계를 탐지한다. 셋째, 시공간적 관계 계층(relational layer)은 시간에 따라 축적되는 질적 관계 계층의 데이터를 기반으로 하여 객체간의 시간적, 공간적인 위치 관계를 추론한다. 마지막으로 의미적 계층(semantic layer)에서는 객체간의 상황에 맞는 의에를 추론하는데 이런 계층들은 모두 월드 모델을 공유(share)함으로써 정보 도출이 가능하다.

With high social demands for the diverse utilizations of forest lands, the illegal forest land use changes have increased. We studied change detection technique to detect changes in forest land use using an object-oriented segmentation of RED bands differencing in multi-temporal aerial photographs. The new object-oriented segmentation method consists of the 5 steps, "Image Composite - Segmentation - Reshaping - Noise Remover - Change Detection". The method enabled extraction of deforested objects by selecting a suitable threshold to determine whether the objects was divided or merged, based on the relations between the objects, spectral characteristics and contextual information from multi-temporal aerial photographs. The results found that the object-oriented segmentation method detected 12% of changes in forest land use, with 96% of the average detection accuracy compared by visual interpretation. Therefore this research showed that the spatial data by the object-oriented segmentation method can be complementary to the one by a visual interpretation method, and proved the possibility of automatically detecting and extracting changes in forest land use from multi-temporal aerial photographs.

Shot boundary detection is an essential step for efficient browsing, sorting, and classification of video data. Robust shot detection method should overcome the disturbances caused by pixel brightness and object movement between frames. In this paper, two shot boundary detection methods are presented to address these problem by using segmentation, object movement, and pixel brightness. The first method is based on the histogram that reflects object movements and the morphological dilation operation that considers pixel brightness. The second method uses the pixel brightness information of segmented and whole blocks between frames. Experiments on digitized video data of National Archive of Korea show that the proposed methods outperforms the existing pixel-based and histogram-based methods.

Satellite imaging is an effective supplementary data source for detecting and verifying nuclear activity. It is also highly beneficial in regions with limited access and information, such as nuclear installations. Time series analysis, in particular, can identify the process of preparing for the conduction of a nuclear experiment, such as relocating equipment or changing facilities. Differences in the semantic segmentation findings of time series photos were employed in this work to detect changes in meaningful items connected to nuclear activity. Building, road, and small object datasets made of KOMPSAT 3/3A photos given by AIHub were used to train deep learning models such as U-Net, PSPNet, and Attention U-Net. To pick relevant models for targets, many model parameters were adjusted. The final change detection was carried out by including object information into the first change detection, which was obtained as the difference in semantic segmentation findings. The experiment findings demonstrated that the suggested approach could effectively identify altered pixels. Although the suggested approach is dependent on the accuracy of semantic segmentation findings, it is envisaged that as the dataset for the region of interest grows in the future, so will the relevant scope of the proposed method.

In order to acquire a wide range of land that changes in real time and quickly and accurately grasp it, we plan to utilize the recently released high-resolution S.Korea's satellite image data and artificial intelligence (AI). Compared to existing satellite images, the spectral and periodic resolutions of S.Korea's satellite are higher, making them a more suitable data source for periodically monitoring changes in land. Therefore, this study aims to acquire S.Korea's satellite, select 8 types of objects to detect land changes, construct data sets for them, and apply AI models to analyze them. In order to confirm the optimal model and variable conditions for detecting 8 types of objects of various types, several experiments are performed and AI-based image analysis is technically reviewed.
