첨단 기술의 발전과 함께 장애인 및 노약자의 삶의 질에 대한 관심이 증가함에 따라 사용자가 각종 시스템들을 보다 쉽게 제어할 수 있는 방법들이 많이 연구되고 있다. 그 중 하나로 정의된 손 움직임 동작을 인식하여 가전기기 혹은 환경 제어 시스템, 홈 로봇 등에 명령을 내리는 기술을 예로 들 수 있다. 하지만, 정의된 손 움직임이 일상생활에서 발생하는 동작과 비슷한 경우 오작동을 일으킬 가능성이 있으며, 이를 차단하기 위해 복잡한 동작을 명령어로 사용할 경우 사용자의 편의성을 떨어뜨린다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 문제를 해결하기 위해 비슷한 동작 중에서 특정 동작을 검출할 수 있는 퍼지 가비지 모델을 제안한다. 퍼지 가비지 모델이란 인식하고자 하는 특정 동작을 제외한 다른 유사 동작의 특성을 반영하여 구현한 퍼지 모델을 말한다. 따라서 사용자의 동작으로부터 특징 값을 구한 후 이를 특정 동작에 대한 퍼지 모델과 퍼지 가비지 모델에 각각 대입하여 얻은 결과를 비교해서 어떤 동작이 발생하였는지 결정한다. 또한 사용자의 행동 특성은 개인마다 다르게 나타나고 동일 사용자라 하더라도 경우에 따라 동작에 편차가 나타날 수 있기 때문에 특정 사용자에 대한 시스템의 적응이 필요하다. 이를 위해 다양한 경우를 고려하여 최적화된 값을 찾을 수 있는 진화 알고리즘을 이용하여 퍼지 모델 파라미터를 갱신하는 방법을 제안한다. 제안한 방법의 타당성을 검증하기 위해 5명의 사용자로부터 명령 동작과 의미 없는 유사 동작의 데이터를 획득하여 실험 결과를 보인다.

In this paper, we propose a scene adaptive method to obtain two LDR images with proper shutter speeds which capture the irradiance of scene effectively. The proposed method adaptively selects two shutter speeds across the video frame even when the illumination varies continuously. For the performance evaluation, we compute the PNSR to the ground truth which is obtained by the state-of-the-art HDR imaging method. It shows that the proposed method is able to select approximately optimal shutter speeds while avoiding the exhaustive search of every possible pair of shutter speeds.

In this paper, we discussed the region-based image retrieval method using image segmentation. We proposed a segmentation method which can reduce the effect of a irregular light sources. The image segmentation method uses a region-merging, and candidate regions which are merged were selected by the energy values of high frequency bands in discrete wavelet transform. The content-based image retrieval is executed by using the segmented region information, and the images are retrieved by a color, texture, shape feature vector. The similarity measure between regions is processed by the Euclidean distance of the feature vectors. The simulation results shows that the proposed method is reasonable.

It is known that septin gene encodes the filament in Saccharomyces cerevisiae and it has importants roles in bud formation and cytokinesis. Four septin genes have been cloned in S. cerevisiae and it was found in Drosophila melanogaster and mouse. In this study, we cloned the septin gene in Schizosaccahromyces pombe by use of PCR technique. The septin gene in S. pombe has an 1,143 bp open reading frame and encodes a protein of 380 amino acids with a molecular weight of 42 kd. Comparison of the predicted amano acid sequences between the septin gene in S. pombe and CDC12 gene in S. cerevisiae reveals the 51.8% of simility.

기계학습의 군집화(clustering) 기법은 예제들 간의 유사성에 근거하여 주어진 예제들을 무리 짓는 방법이다. 준감독(semi-supervised) 군집화는 카테고리가 부여된(labeled) 소수의 예제들을 적극적으로 활용하여 군집형태가 보다 자연스럽게 형성되도록 유도하는 군집화 방법이다. 준감독 군집화 문제에서 예제에 카테고리를 부여하는 작업은 현실적으로 극히 제한적이거나 카테고리를 부여하는데 소요되는 비용이 상당하므로, 제한된 자원 내에서 군집화에 효용성이 높을 예제들을 선정하여 카테고리를 부여하는 것이 필요하다. 본 논문에서는 기존 연구에서 능동적 학습의 초기 훈련예제 선정을 위해 제안된 군집기반 훈련예제 선정 방법을 준감독 군집화에 적용하여 군집 결과의 질을 향상시키고자 한다. 군집화를 이용한 예제 선정 방법은 유사한 예제들은 동일한 카테고리에 속할 가능성이 높다는 가정하에 전체 예제를 활용하여 선정하고자 하는 예제 수만큼 군집을 생성 한 후. 각 군집의 중심점에 가장 가까운 예제들을 대표 예제로 선정하여 훈련 집합을 구성하는 방법이다 본 논문에서는 문서를 대상으로 하는 준감독 군집화 실험을 통해, 카테고리를 부여할 예제를 임의로 선정한 경우에 비해 군집화를 이용한 훈련 예제들로 준감독 군집화를 수행한 경우가 보다 좋은 군집을 형성함을 확인하였다.

Localizing an object in image is a common task in the field of computer vision. As the existing methods provide a detection for the single object in an image, they have an utilization limit for the use of the application, due to similar objects are in the actual picture. This paper proposes an efficient method of object localization for image recognition. The new proposed method uses color correlation back-projection in the YCbCr chromaticity color space to deal with the object localization problem. Using the proposed algorithm enables users to detect and locate primary location of object within the image, as well as candidate regions can be detected accurately without any information about object counts. To evaluate performance of the proposed algorithm, we estimate success rate of locating object with common used image database. Experimental results reveal that improvement of 21% success ratio was observed. This study builds on spatially localized color features and correlation-based localization, and the main contribution of this paper is that a different way of using correlogram is applied in object localization.

Collaborative filtering recommends products using customers' preferences, so it cannot recommend products to the new customer who has no preference information. This paper proposes a novel approach to new customer recommendations using the social network analysis which is used to search relationships among social entities such as genetics network, traffic network, organization network, etc. The proposed recommendation method identifies customers most likely to be neighbors to the new customer using the centrality theory in social network analysis and recommends products those customers have liked in the past. The procedure of our method is divided into four phases : purchase similarity analysis, social network construction, centrality-based neighborhood formation, and recommendation generation. To evaluate the effectiveness of our approach, we have conducted several experiments using a data set from a department store in Korea. Our method was compared with the best-seller-based method that uses the best-seller list to generate recommendations for the new customer. The experimental results show that our approach significantly outperforms the best-seller-based method as measured by F1-measure.

Moxibustion is utilized not only to cure disease but also to increase immunity. However, it may lead to undesired effects including severe pains(blisters and burns) because of the difficulty of controlling heat intensity. To overcome these problems we developed the RF heat stimulation system which can control stimulus. Also, we developed the RF stimulation protocol for effective heat transfer in subcutaneous tissue of rabbit. RF stimulator consists of a medical RF capacitive heating device, isolation probe, isolation plate, negative pressure control part and temperature measurement part. For the designed stimulus protocol, we measured the temperature distribution on epidermis and in subcutaneous(5mm, 10mm) area of rabbit during moxibustion. A stimulation protocol was designed by controlling the ON/OFF duty ratio, repeating number, and energy of applied pulse to get the temperature distribution similar with that by moxibustion. In results, the correlation coefficients between temperature distribution by moxibustion and that of stimulator were 95% and 91% from 5mm and 10mm thick respectively. However, temperature distribution on epidermis by stimulator was remarkably lower than that of the moxibustion. Finally, the RF stimulation system showed that it can not only transfer effectively heat similar with moxibustion to the subcutaneous area, but also the influence by unwanted side effects can be minimized.

In this paper, we present a novel approach for contents-based medication image retrieval from a medication image database using the shape classification and color information of the medication. One major problem in developing a contents-based drug image retrieval system is there are too many similar images in shape and color and it makes difficult to identify any specific medication by a single feature of the drug image. To resolve such difficulty in identifying images, we propose a hybrid approach to retrieve a medication image based on shape and color features of the medication. In the first phase of the proposed method we classify the medications by shape of the images. In the second phase, we identify them by color matching between a query image and preclassified images in the first phase. For the shape classification, the shape signature, which is unique shape descriptor of the medication, is extracted from the boundary of the medication. Once images are classified by the shape signature, Hue and Saturation(HS) color model is used to retrieve a most similarly matched medication image from the classified database images with the query image. The proposed system is designed and developed especially for specific population- seniors to browse medication images by using visual information of the medication in a feasible fashion. The experiment shows the proposed automatic image retrieval system is reliable and convenient to identify the medication images.
