Existing People Counting System using a single overhead mounted camera has limitation in object recognition and counting in various environments. Those limitations are attributable to overlapping, occlusion and external factors, such as over-sized belongings and dramatic light change. Thus, this paper proposes the new concept of People Counting System by Facial Age Group using two depth cameras, at overhead and frontal viewpoints, in order to improve object recognition accuracy and robust people counting to external factors. The proposed system is counting the pedestrians by five process such as overhead image processing, frontal image processing, identical object recognition, facial age group classification and in-coming/out-going counting. The proposed system developed by C++, OpenCV and Kinect SDK, and it target group of 40 people(10 people by each age group) was setup for People Counting and Facial Age Group classification performance evaluation. The experimental results indicated approximately 98% accuracy in People Counting and 74.23% accuracy in the Facial Age Group classification.

Cell counting is extensively used to analyze cell growth in biomedical research, and as a result automated cell counting methods have been developed to provide a more convenient and means to analyze cell growth. However, there are still many challenges to improving the accuracy of the cell counting for cells that proliferate abnormally, divide rapidly, and cluster easily, such as cancer cells. In this paper, we present an automated cell counting method for HeLa cells, which are used as reference for cancer research. We recognize and classify the morphological conditions of the cells by using a cell segmentation algorithm based on cell membrane extraction, and we then apply a cell back-tracking algorithm to improve the cell counting accuracy in cell clusters that have indistinct cell boundary lines. The experimental results indicate that our proposed segmentation method can identify each of the cells more accurately when compared to existing methods and, consequently, can improve the cell counting accuracy.

본 논문에서는 다중 심도 카메라 기반의 실시간 피플 카운팅 시스템을 제안 한다. 카메라 영상으로부터 사람을 감지하고 추적하는 시스템 및 그 방법에 관한 것으로, 피플 카운팅 시스템은 쇼핑몰이나 대형건물의 출입구 등과 같은 다양한 환경에 적용될 수 있다. 기존 피플 카운팅 시스템에서의 급격한 조명의 변화나 겹침 현상, 가림 현상에 대한 해결 방법으로, 다중 심도 카메라 환경에서 동일 객체 추적을 위해 RLM(Range Laser Method)를 적용하고, 조명 등 환경 변화에 강인한 배경 제거 및 물체 검출 기법으로 가우시안 혼합 모델(Gaussian Mixture Model)을 적용해 객체인식에 대한 정확도를 높인다. 또한, 객체를 블랍(Blob)으로 지정해 확장 칼만 필터(Extended Kalman Filter, EKF) 방법으로 객체를 추적한다. 본 제안은 피플 카운팅 시스템에의 객체 검출 및 인식에 대한 정확도를 향상시킬 수 있으리라 기대된다.

n개의 이진 변수 집합 중에 k개를 선택하는 카운팅 문제(Counting Problem)들은 여러 방법으로 풀이가 가능하다. 본 논문에서는 카운팅 문제를 풀기 위해 SAT, PB, SMT를 소개하고, 칸 칠하기(Fill-a-Pix) 퍼즐을 예로 들어 카운팅 문제의 인코딩 방법을 제시하고 처리 결과를 비교해 보았다. SAT이 상대적으로 인코딩은 가장 복잡했으나, 처리 시 가장 우수한 성능을 보였다. 따라서 본 논문은 카운팅 문제를 다룰 때에는 SAT이 가장 적합하다는 것을 제안한다.

Counting Bloom filters (CBFs) have been popularly used in many network algorithms and applications for the membership queries of dynamic sets, since CBFs can provide delete operations, which are not provided in a standard 1-bit vector Bloom filter. However, because of the counting functions, a CBF can have overflows and accordingly false negatives. CBFs composed of 4-bit counters are generally used, but the 4-bit CBF wastes memory spaces by allocating 4 bits for every counter. In this paper, we propose a simple alternative of a 4-bit CBF named ternary Bloom filter (TBF). In the proposed TBF structure, if two or more elements are mapped to a counter in programming, the counters are not used for insertion or deletion operations any more. When the TBF consumes the same amount of memory space as a 4-bit CBF, it is shown through simulation that the TBF provides a better false positive rate than the CBF as well as the TBF does not generate false negatives.

In this paper, we propose an audience counting method in an auditorium based on pattern comparison. The previous counting methods based on object detection can't exactly count the audience in real time because auditorium has coarse illumination condition and so many audiences. Therefore, in this paper, we count the audience in an auditorium with fixed seats by the method which the pattern from each reference seat is compared to the pattern from each input seat. Especially, to overcome limitations based on either illumination or noise, two pattern comparison methods are efficiently employed and combined. One is based on the amplitude projection, and the other is based on Walsh-Hadamard Kernel. Walsh-Hadamard Kernel has the characteristic which complements amplitude projection. Therefore, we ran achieve the accurate counting in the presence of coarse illumination and noise. The experimental results show that our method performs well on sequences of images acquired in an auditorium. We also verify a realistic possibility for other applications applying our method to the parking positioning system.

Studies for counting and detecting X-rays for the improvement of image quality and material analysis are active. In this work, the detector for X-ray photon counting was designed using Multi-pixel photon counter (MPPC) array and the detector characteristics were evaluated through simulation. Geant4 Application for Tomographic Emission (GATE) was used to obtain the position where the X-ray and the scintillation interacted, and this position was used as the light generation position of DETECT2000. 0.5 mm and 1 mm thick Gadolinium Aluminium Gallium Garnet (GAGG) scintillators were used and the light generated through a $4{\times}4$ array of MPPCs was acquired. The spatial resolution of the designed detector was evaluated by reconstructed image using the light signal acquired for each channel. We obtained images of more than 2 lp/mm in both 0.5 mm and 1 mm thick GAGG scintillation. When this detector is used in a X-ray system, a low-cost system capable of photon counting can be made.

데이터의 폭발적인 증가로 우리는 빅데이터 시대를 맞이하게 되었다. 빅데이터의 파일 시스템 내에는 아주 큰 트리구조로 이루어진 디렉토리와 파일이 무수히 존재한다. 이 커다란 트리구조에서 사용자가 요청하는 디렉토리와 파일을 탐색하는 것은 매우 어려운 작업이다. 이에 우리는 카운팅 블룸필터를 이용한 디렉토리 탐색 기법을 제시한다. SDP(SSD-based Directory Parsing)는 최근 또는 자주 액세스한 디렉토리와 파일의 메타데이터를 보관하는 SSD 기반의 캐시이다. 대규모 파일 시스템에서 사용자가 파일을 요청했을 때 파일 시스템은 저장 장치에 메타데이터를 검색하기 위해 여러 번 액세스한다. 이러한 비효율적인 SSD에 대한 액세스를 방지하기 위해 카운팅 블룸필터를 이용하여 메타데이터를 빠르고 효율적으로 검색하는 기법을 제시한다.
