본 논문에서는 이미지에서 사용자가 관심을 갖는 영역(ROI)의 내용을 나타내는 특성값과 영역의 위치를 함께 고려하여 이미지를 검색하는 방법을 제안한다. 제안한 방법은 검색 대상 이미지를 일정 크기의 블록으로 구분한 후 사용자가 선택한 다중 ROI와 가장 근접하는 특성을 가진 블록을 선택한다. 블록의 특성값은 MPEG-7의 도미넌트 컬러 기술자를 사용한다. 사용자가 선택한 블록의 특성값과 함께 블록의 위치를 측정한 후, 검색 대상 이미지의 블록들의 특성값 및 위치와 비교하여 유사도를 측정한다. 본 논문에서는 실험결과 제안한 방법이 전역 이미지 검색이나 동일한 위치의 블록만 비교하는 경우보다 다중 ROI의 내용과 위치를 함께 고려하는 방법이 다른 방법에 비해 우수한 성능을 나타냈다.

In this paper, we propose an Overlapped Block and an Hanning Window to prevent a Block Discontinuity when we use an algorithm to eliminate ringing artifact which is based on a block structure. The algorithm to eliminate ringing artifact operates with a block structure and 24-RGB data and is based on a modified K-means algorithm. The proposed overlapped block method is piled up one on another per an half of the size of unit-block when an input image is split into several unit-blocks. Therefore, we define a data unit as the unit-block of the block size, $16{\times}16$ pixels. We reconstruct the processed data units into the original form of input image by using an isotropic form of Hanning Window. Finally, in order to evaluate the performance of the abovementioned algorithms, we compare three image, an input image with ringing artifact, an image result obtained by conventional method (non-overlapped), and an image result obtained the proposed method.

본 논문에서는 화면 내 블록 카피 (IntraBC: Intra Block Copy) 예측 기술의 압축 성능 분석과 향상된 해쉬 기법을 통한 HEVC (High Efficiency Video Coding) 스크린 콘텐츠 코딩 성능 기법을 제안한다. 현재 SCM (Screen Content Coding Test Model) 에 채택 된 화면 내 블록 카피 기술에서는 $16{\times}16$ 블록에는 1차원 탐색을 수행하고 $8{\times}8$블록에서는 해쉬기반 전역 탐색을 수행하여 해쉬가 일치하는 블록들과 RD-Cost를 수행한다. 현재의 해쉬기반 전역탐색에는 기울기 (Gradient) 위주의 해쉬 구성으로 인해 해쉬가 고르게 분포하지 않아, RD-Cost 수행횟수가 과도하게 많아지는 문제가 있다. 제안하는 방법은 전역적 화면 내 블록 카피의 해쉬 구성 방법을 개선함으로써, 기존 SCM-6.1 대비 0.46%의 BDBR 향상을 확인하였다.

This paper describes a sensor-based remote monitoring technique for ship block assembly and implementation of a prototype system. Instead of manual processing or optical measuring devices, the proposed approach attaches some distance-measuring sensor nodes to ship blocks. Remote monitoring of the assembly status makes it possible to minimize marginal errors during ship block assembly process, and helps efficient ship building.

This paper proposes an efficient depth-map coding method. The adaptive block-based depth-map coding method decides the number of bit planes to be encoded according to the quantization parameters to obtain the desired bit rates. So, the depth-map coding using the block-based decision of the bit-plane to be encoded proposes to free from the constraint of the quantization parameters. Simulation results show that the proposed method, in comparison with the adaptive block-based depth-map coding method, improves the average BD-rate savings by 3.5% and the average BD-PSNR gains by 0.25dB.

정보보호 평가는 크게 시스템 평가인 CC평가와 암호모듈 평가인 CMVP평가고 나눌 수 있다. 본 논문은 암호모듈 평가 방법으로 북미 CMVP의 3가지 블록 알고리즘시험방법인 KAT(Known Answer Test), MCT(Monte Calro Test), MMT(Multi-block Message Test)를 JAVA환경에 적용하여 시범 구현하였다. 대상 알고리즘은 CMVP의 4가지 블록 알고리즘(DES, TDES, AES, Skipjack)을, 테스트 방법으로 MOVS, TMOVS, AESAVS를 선정하여 FIPS표준을 적용하였다. 구현 환경으로는 JCA기반의 Cryptix를 채택하여 CMVP의 블록 암호 알고리즘 테스트 시스템 중 일부를 구현하였다.

본 논문은 isophote 제약조건을 사용한 유전자 알고리즘(Genetic Algorithms) 기반의 효율적인 오류 은닉 방법을 제안한다. 제안된 방법은 먼저 오류 블록을 경계선 정합 알고리즘(Boundary Matching Algorithm)을 사용하여 오류 블록의 주변과 가장 유사한 블록을 이전 프레임에서 찾아 교체한 후, isophote를 제약조건으로 가진 유전자 알고리즘을 사용하여 교체된 오류 블록을 재구성하는 것이다. Isophote들은 영상에서 일정한 밝기 값을 가지는 곡선들로, 본 논문에서는 비디오 통신 시 화질을 개선하기 위해, 전송 오류에 의한 끊어진 isophote들을 부드럽게 연결한다. 끊어진 isophote들을 연결하기 위해, isophote를 제약조건으로 가진 적합도 함수를 최소화하는 픽셀 값을 유전자 알고리즘을 사용하여 추정하고, 그 값을 isephote 방향으로 투영한다. 실험 결과, 제안된 방법이 다른 오류 은닉 방법 보다 좀 더 화질을 개선시킬 수 있다.

In this paper, a method is proposed that enhances the performance of the facial expression recognition using template matching of Local Binary Pattern(LBP) histogram. In this method, the face image is segmented into blocks, and the LBP histogram is constructed to be used as the feature of the block. Block dissimilarity is calculated between a block of input image and the corresponding block of the model image. Image dissimilarity is defined as the weighted sum of the block dissimilarities. In conventional methods, the block weights are assigned by intuition. In this paper a new method is proposed that optimizes the weights from training samples. An experiment shows the recognition rate is enhanced by the proposed method.

Binary connected-component labeling is widely used in the fields of the image processing and the computer vision. Many kinds of labeling techniques have been developed, and two-scan is known as the fastest method among them. Traditionally pixel-based scan masks have been used for the first stage of the two-scan. Recently, block-based labeling techniques were introduced by C. Grana et. al. and L. He et. al. They are faster than pixel-based labeling methods. In this paper, we propose a new binary connected-component labeling technique with block-based labels and a pixel-based scan mask. The experimental results with various images show that the proposed method is faster than the He's which is known as the fastest method currently. The amount of performance enhancement is averagely from 3.9% to 22.4% according to the sort of the images.

Recently, there are high expectations of a society benefitting from a digital sharing economy. However, to establish a digital sharing economy, one needs to first create a reliable social structure. Transparency is recognized as the most important measure of value in not just politics or economics, but also in all domains of our lives. Although all nations strive to create "societies based on credit and trust," in truth, rigidity, irregularity, corruption, and inefficiency are widespread in all aspects of society. Thus, there is a growing interest in blockchain technology, also called the "second Internet revolution," seeking trust in digital environments, although it is difficult to obtain trust in such environments. However, the principles and methods of evaluating blockchain technologies are still unclear and not standardized. This study addresses the evaluation indexes such as transaction per second, maximum data size per one transaction, accuracy and blockchain technology application methods in the digital sharing economy and suggest ways to safely vitalize a blockchain-based digital sharing economy.
