We present an ATM switch architectures based on the multistage interconnection network(MIN) for the efficient multicast traffic control. Many of these applications require multicast connections as well as point-to-point connections. Muiticast connection in which the same message is delivered from a source to arbitrary number of destinations is fundamental in the areas such as teleconferencing, VOD(video on demand), distributed data processing, etc. In designing the multicast ATM switches to support those services, we should consider the fairness(impartiality) and priority control, in addition to the overflow problem, cell processing with large number of copies, and the blocking problem. In particular, the fairness problem which is to distribute the incoming cells to input ports smoothly is occurred when a cell with the large copy number enters upper input port. In this case, the upper input port sends before the lower input port because of the calculating method of running sum, and therefore cell arrived into lower input port Is delayed to next cycle to be sent and transmission delay time becomes longer. In this paper, we propose the cell splitting and group splitting algorithm, and also the fairness scheme on the basis of the nonblocking characteristics for issuing appropriate copy number depending on the number of Input cell in demand. We evaluate the performance of the proposed schemes in terms of the throughput, cell loss rate and cell delay.

This paper proposed a watermark embedding/extracting method using CABAC(Context-based Adaptive Binary Arithmetic Coding) which is the entropy encoder for the main profile of MPEG-4 Part 10 H.264/AVC. This algorithm selects the blocks and the coefficients in a block on the bases of the contexts extracted from the relationship to the adjacent blocks and coefficients. A watermark bit is embedded without any modification of coefficient or with replacing the LSB(Least Significant Bit) of the coefficient with a watermark bit by considering both the absolute value of the selected coefficient and the watermark bit. Therefore, it makes it hard for an attacker to find out the watermarked locations. By selecting a few coefficients near the DC coefficient according to the contexts, this algorithm satisfies the robustness requirement. From the results from experiments with various kinds and various strengths of attacks the maximum error ratio of the extracted watermark was 5.02% in maximum, which makes certain that the proposed algorithm has very high level of robustness. Because it embeds the watermark during the context modeling and binarization process of CABAC, the additional amount of calculation for locating and selecting the coefficients to embed watermark is very small. Consequently, it is highly expected that it is very useful in the application area that the video must be compressed right after acquisition.

This paper proposes a high-speed and high-quality haze removal method based on dual dark channels. In the conventional method, the halo artifacts are suppressed by the additional transmission refinement, but the transmission refinement is computationally intensive and the quality of the haze removal is sometimes unsatisfactory because of the residual halo artifacts. In the proposed method, the transmission is estimated with the mixture of the two dark channels with different window size. By mixing the two dark channels so as to avoid the halo artifacts, the proposed method realizes a high-quality haze removal even without the transmission refinement. Experimental results demonstrate that the quality of the results by the proposed method is superior to those by the conventional method and the speed of the haze removal is about 14.2 times higher than that of the conventional method.

As blockchain technology has emerged as a security issue for IoT, technology which integrates block chain into IoT is being studied. In this paper is a research concerning token-based IoT service access control technology for data sharing, which propose a possessor focused data sharing technic by using the permissioned blockchain. To share IoT health data, a Hyperledger Fabric Network consisting of three organizations was designed to provide a way to share data by applying different access control policies centered on device owners for different services. In the proposed system, the device owner issues access control tokens with different security levels applied to the participants in the organization, and the token issue information is shared through the distributed ledger of the HFN. In IoT, it is possible to lightweight the access control processing of IoT devices by granting tokens to service requesters who request access to data. Furthmore, by sharing token issuance information among network participants using HFN, the integrity of the token is guaranteed and all network participants can trust the token. The device owners can trust that their data is being used within their authorized rights, and control the collection and use of data.

With the recent increase in dementia patients due to aging, measures to prevent their wandering behavior and disappearance are urgently needed. To solve this problem, various authentication methods and location detection techniques have been introduced, but the security problem of personal authentication and a system that can check indoor and outdoor overall was lacking. In order to solve this problem, various authentication methods and location detection techniques have been introduced, but it was difficult to find a system that can check the security problem of personal authentication and indoor/outdoor overall. In this study, we intend to propose a system that can identify personal authentication, basic health status, and overall location indoors and outdoors by using wristband-type wearable devices in a private blockchain environment. In this system, personal authentication uses ECG, which is difficult to forge and highly personally identifiable, Bluetooth beacon that is easy to use with low power, non-contact and automatic transmission and reception indoors, and DGPS that corrects the pseudorange error of GPS satellites outdoors. It is intended to detect wandering behavior and abnormal signs by locating the patient. Through this, it is intended to contribute to the prompt response and prevention of disappearance in case of wandering behavior and abnormal symptoms of dementia patients living at home or in nursing homes.

With the rise of a decentralized finance market (so called, DeFi) using blockchain technology, users and capital liquidity of decentralized finance applications are increasing significantly. The Automated Market Maker (AMM) is a protocol that automatically calculates the asset price based on the liquidity of the decentralized trading platform, and is currently most commonly used in the decentralized exchanges (DEX), since it can proceed the transactions by utilizing the liquidity pool of the trading platform even if the buyers and sellers do not exist at the same time. However, Automated Market Maker have some disadvantages since the cost efficiency of each transaction using Automated Market Maker depends on the liquidity size of some liquidity pools used for the transaction, so the smaller the size of the liquidity pool and the larger the transaction size, the smaller the cost efficiency of the trade. To solve this problem, some platforms are adopting Transaction Path Routing Algorithm that bypasses transaction path to other liquidity pools that have relatively large size to improve cost efficiency, but this algorithm can be further improved because it uses only a single transaction path to proceed each transaction. In addition to just bypassing transaction path, in this paper we proposed a Multi-Path Routing Algorithm that uses multiple transaction paths simultaneously by distributing transaction size, and showed that the cost efficiency of transactions can be further improved in the Automated Market Maker-based trading environment.

제로트리 부호화 알고리즘 중 효율적이며 잘 알려진 SPIHT는 높은 메모리 요구로 인해 하드웨어 구현에 큰 어려움을 가지고 있다. 이 논문에서는 저 메모리 사용과 빠른 제로트리 부호화 알고리즘을 제안한다. 메모리를 줄이고 빠른 코딩을 위한 방법으로 다음 3가지를 사용한다. 첫 번째, 리프팅을 이용한 웨이블릿 변환은 기존의 필터뱅크 방식의 변환보다 저 메모리와 계산량의 감소를 가진다. 두 번째, 웨이블릿 변환된 계수들은 블럭으로 나누어져 각각 코딩된다. 여기서 블록은 제로트리 구조가 유지되는 STB(spatial tree-based block)이다. 세 번째, Wheeler 와 Pearlman이 제안한 NLS (no list SPIHT)를 이용한 부호화이다. NLS는 효율성에서 SPIHT와 거의 같으며 작고 고정된 메모리와 빠른 부호화 속도를 보여준다.

본 논문에서는 영상 내 존재하는 의미 있는 객체단위로 초상권을 보호하는 기법을 제안한다. 제안된 방법은 초상권 보호 객체선택 단계와 객체에 마스크를 적용하는 단계 그리고 마스크가 적용된 객체를 추적하는 단계로 나누어진다. 초상권 보호 객체선택 단계에서는 블록분류(block classification) 및 워터쉐드(watershed) 알고리듬을 이용하여 분할된 결과영상을 얻고 이를 이용하여 사용자가 원하는 객체를 마우스로 클릭함으로써 손쉽게 초상권 보호법을 적용시킬 객체를 추출할 수 있다. 이렇게 정의된 객체는 다음 단계에서 마스크를 적용 받게 된다. 첫 번째 프레임에서 마스크가 적용되면 다음 프레임부터는 객체추적과정에서 연된 화면사이의 움직임 및 밝기정보에 의해 객체를 추적, 계속 마스크를 적용함으로써 초상권을 보호할 수 있다. 제안된 알고리듬은 초상권 보호를 위한 모자이크 처리 시 화질 저하에 따른 시청자의 화면 거부감을 최소화시키고, 반자동영상분할 알고리듬을 사용하여 객체 단위로 초상권 마스크를 적용하여 초상권 보호대상물을 놓치지 않고 추적할 수 있어 신뢰도를 높일 수 있는 장점을 가지고 있다.
