Generative adversarial networks are methods of generating images by opposing two neural networks. When generating the image, randomly generated noise is rearranged to generate the image. The image generated by this method is not generated well depending on the noise, and it is difficult to generate a proper image when the number of pixels of the image is small In addition, the speed and size of data accumulation in data classification increases, and there are many difficulties in labeling them. In this paper, to solve this problem, we propose a technique to generate noise based on random noise using real data. Since the proposed system generates an image based on the existing image, it is confirmed that it is possible to generate a more natural image, and if it is used for learning, it shows a higher hit rate than the existing method using the hostile neural network respectively.

Several hypotheses for the origin of cultivated sweetpotato [Ipomoea batatas L. (Lam)] have been suggested but the exact progenitor is still unknown. Based on the results of RFLP patterns, microsatellite markers, SNP markers, FISH analyses, and genome analyses of haplotypes, wild species belonging to batatas group, I. trifida, I. leucantha, I. littoralis, I. tabascana, I. tenuissima, I. tiliacea, and I. triloba have been suggested as a progenitor. However, recently, advanced genomic technologies and characterization of the inserted T-DNA fragments of Agrobacterium in the genome of cultivated sweetpotato and wild species through horizontal gene transfer suggest that there may be an older progenitor than the wild species suggested so far.

Recently, the need for improving image quality of the image is increasing in various fields smartphones, cameras, and portable devices. How a significant impact on improving image quality of the image is a contrast enhancement, as a representative method to improve the contrast, the process of histogram equalization, various studies have been made. However, the method of histogram equalization general, by readjusting the only brightness, when the image histogram is biased to one side, due to changes in the excess brightness, distortions such as blocking phenomenon occurs. In this paper, we provide a contrast enhancement techniques through the compression and re-distribution of a well-balanced average brightness of the histogram distribution. By be differential compression histogram based on the histogram frequency in order to suppress the supersaturation phenomenon due to the increase in contrast ratio excessive repositioning well-balanced histogram lopsided, the proposed method, the balance of the brightness of the image I want to to take. The experimental results, the image brightness is balanced manner compared to conventional methods, the proposed method showed a good effect to improve the contrast without supersaturation phenomenon as compared with the conventional methods.

The study of ecosystem assessment(ES) is based on land cover information, and primarily it is performed at the global scale. However, these results as data for decision making have a limitation at the aspects of range and scale to solve the regional issue. Although the Ministry of Environment provides available land cover data at the regional scale, it is also restricted in use due to the intrinsic limitation of on screen digitizing method and temporal and spatial difference. This study of objective is to generate UAV land cover map. In order to classify the imagery, we have performed resampling at 5m resolution using UAV imagery. The results of object-based image segmentation showed that scale 20 and merge 34 were the optimum weight values for UAV imagery. In the case of RapidEye imagery;we found that the weight values;scale 30 and merge 30 were the most appropriate at the level of land cover classes for sub-category. We generated land cover imagery using example-based classification method and analyzed the accuracy using stratified random sampling. The results show that the overall accuracies of RapidEye and UAV classification imagery are each 90% and 91%.

This paper proposes a multitoning method using threshold modulation of MJBNM(Modified Jointly Blue Noise Mask) for banding artifacts reduction. As banding artifacts in multitoning appear as uniform dot distributions around the intermediate output levels, such multitone output results in discontinuity and visually unpleasing patterns in smooth transition regions. Therefore, to reduce these banding artifacts, the proposed method rearranges the dot distribution by introducing pixels in the neighborhood of output levels that occurs banding artifacts. First of all principal cause of banding artifacts are analyzed using mathematical description. Based on this analytical result, a threshold modulation technique of MJBNM which takes account of chrominance error and correlation between channels is applied. The original threshold range of MJBNM is first scaled linearly sot that the minimum and maximum of the scaled range include two pixel more than adjacent two output levels that cover an input value. In an input value is inside the vicinity of any intermediate output levels produce banding artifacts, the output is set to one of neighboring output levels based on the pointwise comparison result according to threshold modulation parameter that determines the dot density and distribution. In this case, adjacent pixels are introduced at the position where the scaled threshold values are located between two output levels and the minimum and maximum threshold values. Otherwise, a conventional multitoning method is applied. As a result, the proposed method effectively decreased the appearance of banding artifacts around the intermediate output levels. To evaluate the quality of the multitone result, HVS-WRMSE according to gray level for gray ramp image and S-CIELAB color difference for color ramp image are compared with other methods.

In this paper, we propose new coding techniques for photometry data of three-dimensional(3-D) mesh models. We make a good use of geometry and connectivity information to improve coding efficiency of color, normal vector, and texture data. First of all, we determine the coding order of photometry data exploiting connectivity information. Then, we exploit the obtained geometry information of neighboring vortices through the previous process to predict the photometry data. For color coding, the predicted color of the current vertex is computed by a weighted sum of colors for adjacent vortices considering geometrical characteristics between the current vortex and the adjacent vortices at the geometry predictor. For normal vector coding, the normal vector of the current vertex is equal to one of the optimal plane produced by the optimal plane generator with distance equalizer owing to the property of an isosceles triangle. For texture coding, our proposed method removes discontinuity in the texture coordinates and reallocates texture image segments according to the coding order. Simulation results show that the proposed compression schemes provide improved performance over previous works for various 3-D mesh models.

본 논문에서는 입출력 응용을 위해 collective I/O 기법을 기반으로 한 실행시간 시스템의 설계, 구현 그리고 그 성능평가를 기술한다. 여기서는 모든 프로세서가 동시에 I/O 요구에 따라 스케쥴링하며 I/O를 수행하는 collective I/O 방안과 프로세서들이 여러 그룹으로 묶이어, 다음 그룹이 데이터를 재배열하는 통신을 수행하는 동안 오직 한 그룹만이 동시에 I/O를 수행하는 pipelined collective I/O 등의 두 가지 설계방안을 살펴본다. Pipelined collective I/O의 전체 과정은 I/O 노드 충돌을 동적으로 줄이기 위해 파이프라인된다. 이상의 설계 부분에서는 동적으로 충돌 관리를 위한 지원을 제공한다. 본 논문에서는 다른 노드의 메모리 영역에 이미 존재하는 데이터를 재 사용하여 I/O 비용을 줄이기 위해 collective I/O 방안에서의 소프트웨어 캐슁 방안과 두 가지 모형에서의 chunking과 온라인 압축방안을 기술한다. 그리고 이상에서 기술한 방안들이 입출력을 위해 높은 성능을 보임을 기술하는데, 이 성능결과는 Intel Paragon과 ASCI/Red teraflops 기계 상에서 실험한 것이다. 그 결과 응용 레벨에서의 bandwidth는 peak point가 55%까지 측정되었다.Abstract In this paper we present the design, implementation and evaluation of a runtime system based on collective I/O techniques for irregular applications. We present two designs, namely, "Collective I/O" and "Pipelined Collective I/O". In the first scheme, all processors participate in the I/O simultaneously, making scheduling of I/O requests simpler but creating a possibility of contention at the I/O nodes. In the second approach, processors are grouped into several groups, so that only one group performs I/O simultaneously, while the next group performs communication to rearrange data, and this entire process is pipelined to reduce I/O node contention dynamically. In other words, the design provides support for dynamic contention management. Then we present a software caching method using collective I/O to reduce I/O cost by reusing data already present in the memory of other nodes. Finally, chunking and on-line compression mechanisms are included in both models. We demonstrate that we can obtain significantly high-performance for I/O above what has been possible so far. The performance results are presented on an Intel Paragon and on the ASCI/Red teraflops machine. Application level I/O bandwidth up to 55% of the peak is observed.he peak is observed.

Cancelable biometrics is a robust and secure biometric recognition method using revocable biometric template in order to prevent possible compromisation of the original biometric data. In this paper, we present a new cancelable bits extraction method for the facial data. We use our previous cancelable feature template for the bits extraction. The adopted cancelable template is generated from two different original face feature vectors extracted from two different appearance-based approaches. Each element of feature vectors is re-ordered, and the scrambled features are added. With the added feature, biometric bits string is extracted using helper data based method. In this technique, helper data is generated using statistical property of the added feature vector, which can be easily replaced with straightforward revocation. Because, the helper data only utilizes partial information of the added feature, our proposed method is a more secure method than our previous one. The proposed method utilizes the helper data to reduce feature variance within the same individual and increase the distinctiveness of bit strings of different individuals for good recognition performance. For a security evaluation of our proposed method, a scenario in which the system is compromised by an adversary is also considered. In our experiments, we analyze the proposed method with respect to performance and security using the extended YALEB face database

In this paper, we proposed a blind watermarking algerian to use characteristics of a scalar quantizer which is the recommended in the JPEG2000 and JPEG. The proposed algorithm shifts a quantization index according to the value of each watermark bit to prevent losing the watermark information during the compression by quantization. Therefore, the watermark is embedded during the process of quantization, not an additional process for watermarking, and is adaptively applied as a assigned quantizer according application areas. Before embedding process, a LFSR(Linear feedback shift register) rearranged the watermark for the security of the watermark itself and in the embedding process, a LFSR is used to hide the watermarking positions. Therefore the embedded watermark can he extracted by only the owner who knows the initial value of LFSR without the original image. The visual recognizable pattern such as a binary image was used as the watermark. The experimental results showed that the proposed algerian satisfies the robustness and imperceptibility corresponding to the major requirement of watermarking. The results showed the largest error rate to be $5.7\%$ for attack. The experimental result which compares the proposed algorithm with the Mohamed algorithm showed that the proposed algorithm was better than it, exactly $4\~5$ times for the attacks of JPEG and JPEG2000.
