With the increased value in digital contents, the influence of social media has increased exponentially over the past years. Focused around those in their teens and twenties, social media has spread its influence to people regardless of one's age or gender. This increased attention is reflected by the public's interest in pets, especially those dealt with in the personal media sector. This paper will focus on the two most popular Korean cat youtube channels called "CreamHeroes" and "SuriNoel." By analyzing the top thirty most viewed videos on each channel, real time streaming, goods based on the cats starring on the channel, and comments left by the channels' subscribers, it can be concluded that people watching videos categorized as "Viewnimal" derive surrogate pleasure from their viewings. The following creates the potential for increased conversation regarding the subject of shelter animals and animal abuse.

YouTube, the world's largest video sharing platform, is loved by many users in that it provides numerous videos and makes it easy to get helpful information. However, the ratio of like/hate for each video varies according to the subject or upload time, even though they are in the same channel; thus, previous studies try to understand the reason by inspecting some numerical statistics such as the ratio and view count. They can help know how each video is preferred, but there is an explicit limitation to identifying the cause of such preference. Therefore, this study aims to determine the reason that affects the preference through matching between topic words extracted from comments in each video and non-sympathetic types defined in advance. Among the top 10 channels in the field of 'pets' and 'cooking', where outliers occur a lot, the top 10 videos (the threshold of pet: 4.000, the threshold of cooking: 0.723) with the highest ratio were selected. 11,110 comments collected totally, and topics were extracted and matched with non-sympathetic types. The experimental results confirmed that it is possible to predict whether the rate of like/hate would be high or which non-sympathetic type would be by analyzing the comments.

Cats have strong wildness so they have a characteristic of hiding diseases well. The disease may have already worsened when the guardian finds out that the cat has a disease. It will be of great help in treating the cat's disease if the owner can recognize the cat's polydipsia, polyuria, and frequent urination more quickly. In this paper, 1) Efficient version of DeepLabCut for pose estimation, 2) YOLO v4 for object detection, 3) LSTM is used for behavior prediction, and 4) BoT-SORT is used for object tracking running on an artificial intelligence device. Using artificial intelligence technology, it predicts the cat's next, polyuria and frequency of urination through the analysis of the cat's behavior pattern from the home CCTV video and the weight sensor of the water bowl. And, through analysis of cat behavior patterns, we propose an application that reports disease prediction and abnormal behavior to the guardian and delivers it to the guardian's mobile and the server system.

The proportion of cat cats among companion animals has been increasing at an average annual rate of 25.4% since 2012. Cats have strong wildness compared to dogs, so they have a characteristic of hiding diseases well. Therefore, when the guardian finds out that the cat has a disease, the disease may have already worsened. Symptoms such as anorexia (eating avoidance), vomiting, diarrhea, polydipsia, and polyuria in cats are some of the symptoms that appear in cat diseases such as diabetes, hyperthyroidism, renal failure, and panleukopenia. It will be of great help in treating the cat's disease if the owner can recognize the cat's polydipsia (drinking a lot of water), polyuria (a large amount of urine), and frequent urination (urinating frequently) more quickly. In this paper, 1) Efficient version of DeepLabCut for posture prediction running on an artificial intelligence server, 2) yolov4 for object detection, and 3) LSTM are used for behavior prediction. Using artificial intelligence technology, it predicts the cat's next, polyuria and frequency of urination through the analysis of the cat's behavior pattern from the home CCTV video and the weight sensor of the water bowl. And, through analysis of cat behavior patterns, we propose an application that reports disease prediction and abnormal behavior to the guardian and delivers it to the guardian's mobile and the main server system.

As pet dogs rapidly increase in number, abandoned and lost dogs are also increasing in number. In Korea, animal registration has been in force since 2014, but the registration rate is not high owing to safety and effectiveness issues. Biometrics is attracting attention as an alternative. In order to increase the recognition rate from biometrics, it is necessary to collect biometric images in the same form as much as possible-from the face. This paper proposes a method to determine whether a dog is facing front or not in a real-time video. The proposed method detects the dog's eyes and nose using deep learning, and extracts five types of directional face information through the relative size and position of the detected face. Then, a machine learning classifier determines whether the dog is facing front or not. We used 2,000 dog images for learning, verification, and testing. YOLOv3 and YOLOv4 were used to detect the eyes and nose, and Multi-layer Perceptron (MLP), Random Forest (RF), and the Support Vector Machine (SVM) were used as classifiers. When YOLOv4 and the RF classifier were used with all five types of the proposed face orientation information, the face recognition rate was best, at 95.25%, and we found that real-time processing is possible.
