In this paper, a method for estimating the illuminant chromaticity of a scene for an input image is proposed. The illuminant chromaticity is estimated using the illuminant reference region. The conventional method uses a certain number of reference lighting information. By comparing the chromaticity distribution of pixels from the input image with the chromaticity set prepared in advance for the reference illuminant, the reference illuminant with the largest overlapping area is regarded as the scene illuminant for the corresponding input image. In the process of calculating the overlapping area, the weights for each reference light were applied in the form of a Gaussian distribution, but a clear standard for the variance value could not be presented. The proposed method extracts an independent reference chromaticity region from a given reference illuminant, calculates the characteristic values in the r-g chromaticity plane of the RGB color coordinate system for all pixels of the input image, and then calculates the independent chromaticity region and features from the input image. The similarity is evaluated and the illuminant with the highest similarity was estimated as the illuminant chromaticity component of the image. The performance of the proposed method was evaluated using the database image and showed an average of about 60% improvement compared to the conventional basic method and showed an improvement performance of around 53% compared to the conventional Gaussian weight of 0.1.

문자 인식 및 영상 인식 분야의 대부분의 연구들은 이진영상(binary image)을 바탕으로 이루어진다. 하지만, 입력영상에서 보다 많은 정보를 얻기 위해 명도영상(grayscale image) 으로 입력받아 필요한 정보를 추출한후 이진영상으로 변환하여 처리하는 방법도 많이 사용되고 있다. 이런 경우, 명도영상으로부터의 보다 깨끗한 이진영상의 획득 여부는 시스템의 성능과도 밀접한 관계가 있다. 본 논문에서는 기존의 대부분의 이진화 방법과는 달리, 실제 이진화를 수행하기 이전에 여러 가지 필터링 기법을 사용하여 영상의 질을 개선시키는 영상개선기법을 사용한후, 기존의 이진화방법을 사용하여 명도영상을 이진화하는 방법을 제안하고자 한다. 영상의 질을 개선시키기 위해서 BM 필터링, 경게선 개선 필터링, Erosion필터링 방법을 사용하였으며 , 기존의 이진화방법으로는 전역적 이진화 방법중 하나로써 클래스간 분산을 이용한 Ostu 방법[1]을 사용하였다. 다양한 종류의 문서를 대상으로 실험하였는데 평가실험에 사용된 영상은 문서 특성에 따라 균일하지 않은 배경을 가진 영상, 순수하게 텍스트로만 구성된 영상, 선성분이 많으며 명도값이 다양하게 나타나는 영상, 텍스트와 선성분이 함께있는 영상 등 크게 4가지 부류로 구분하였고, 평가대상 영상에 대해 매개변수의 개수, 끊어진/잃어버린 /뭉게진 물체가 적은 정도, 실행속도, 매개변수 결정의 용이성, 잡영이 적은 정도를 평가기준으로 선정한 후, 정량적인 평가가 어려운 항목에 대해서는 9개의 등급으로 나누어 이진화 된 영상의 특성을 분석, 평가하였다.

Recently, animation contents has become extensively available along with the development of cultural industry. In this paper, we propose a method to analyze a face of animation character and extract 3D rotational information of the face. The suggested method first generates a dominant color model of a face by learning the face image of animation character. Our system then detects the face and its components with the model, and establishes two coordinate systems: base coordinate system and target coordinate system. Our system estimates three dimensional rotational information of the animation character face using the geometric relationship of the two coordinate systems. Finally, in order to visually represent the extracted 3D information, a 3D face model in which the rotation information is reflected is displayed. In experiments, we show that our method can extract 3D rotation information of a character face reasonably.

4차 산업혁명의 도래로 사회기반시설물의 계획 및 운영관리에 있어 데이터 분석을 통한 가치추출에 대한 관심은 매우 높은 상황이다. 데이터의 가용성과 접근성, 정부 지원 등을 평가하는 공공데이터 개방지수에서 한국은 1점 만점에 0.93점을 획득하여 경제협력개발기구 회원국 중 1위(2019년 기준)를 할 정도로 매우 높은 수준(평균 0.60점)이다. 그러나 공식적으로 발표 및 배포되는 사회기반시설물 관련 정보와 심도 있는 연구 분석이 필요한 정보는 접근이 여전히 제한적이라 할 수 있다. 특히 대표적인 사회기반시설물인 상수도시스템은 대부분 국가중요시설로 지정되어 있어 다양한 정보를 획득하고 분석하는데 제약이 존재하며, 관련 국가통계인 상수도통계에서는 누수사고 등과 같은 비정상적 상황에 대한 사고지점, 원인 등과 같은 세부정보는 제공하고 있지 않다. 본 연구에서는 웹크롤링 및 빅데이터 분석기술을 활용하여 과거 일정기간 발생한 지자체의 상수도 누수사고 관련 뉴스를 전수조사하고 도출된 사고건수를 국가 공인 정보인 상수도통계자료와 비교·분석하였다. 독립적인 누수사고 기사를 추출하기 위해서 중복기사의 제거, 누수 관련 키워드 정립, 상수도분야 이외의 관련기사 제거 등의 절차가 필요하며, 이와 같은 기법은 R프로그래밍을 통해 구현되었다. 추가적으로 뉴스기사의 자연어 처리기반 정보추출기법을 통해 누수사고 건수 뿐만 아니라 사고발생일, 위치, 원인, 피해정도, 그리고 대상 관로의 크기 등을 획득하여 상수도 통계에서 제시하고 있는 정보보다 많은 가치를 추출하여 연계할 수 있는 방안을 제시하였다. 제시된 방법론을 국내 A광역시에 적용하여 누수사고 건수를 비교한 결과 상수도통계에서 제시하고 있는 누수발생건수와 유사한 규모의 사고건수를 뉴스기사분석을 통해 도출할 수 있었다. 제안된 방법론은 추가적인 정보의 추출이 가능하다는 점에서 향후 활용성이 높을 것으로 기대된다.

Computer and Information Literacy(CIL) is one of Key Competences in 21st century. Many countries, including Korea, have adopted related contents in their national curriculum for conducting software education. With this movement, many book-type instruction materials for software education have been developed in Korea. However, it is scarce to find researches that evaluate the instruction materials from the perspective of CIL. In this study, we selected 4 instruction materials which were distributed by government with 'SW centered society' web site as well as were developed to teach physical computing for elementary students. Also, we analyzed if they can foster students' CIL. First of all, the evaluation framework was developed based on 'The Manual for Authorized and Approved Textbook' and 'The 2018 ICILS(International Computer and Information Literacy Study) Assessment Framework'. Then, 12 school teachers who have professional insight of software education evaluated the 4 instruction materials with the framework. Averaging the score given by evaluators, we determined that which instruction materials were superior or not. Finally, we figured out the characteristics of superior and inferior instructional materials. Based on the results of this study, we suggested implications for developing instruction materials for physical computing education to build students' CIL.

In general construction project planning ratio of manpower and quantity of outputs produced, such as the construction estimate standard, is used as the criterion for labor productivity. This method is highly effective in construction projects with repetitive work, however, there is a limit to apply in large-scale projects with high complexity. This is because the influence of non-work time caused by various work interruption factors that act complexly on the productivity of the project is greater than the average labor productivity derived from the performance data of the project. Therefore, this study proposes a productivity measurement method that can evaluate the characteristics of construction works and the cause of non-working time. To this end, first, detailed work processes and their non-work factors for each work type are defined, and the Adv-FMR technique is developed for quantitatively measuring them. Next, based on the concept of obtainable productivity, methods for comparative productivity analysis by work type, evaluating non-work factors, and deriving productivity improvement methods are proposed. Finally, a case study is conducted to validate that the analysis results based on Adv-FMR data can support the decision-making of construction managers on productivity management.

Improving software product quality is a key to increasing user satisfaction and to achieving competitive edge. There are two approaches to assure high software product quality; development process-oriented and product-oriented. There have been many efforts for improving software quality through process certification, for example, CMM, ISO 9000 family, ISO/IEC 12207, SPICE and Bootstrap. However, a good process alone cannot guarantee good product quality. A need for the evaluation of software product quality by an independent third party is growing rapidly for several reasons. We are concerned with an application of Statistical Quality Control (SQC) to the evaluation of software product quality to obtain the efficiency of evaluation processes and the objectivity of evaluation results. Methods for selecting test cases using a random sampling approach have been discussed and methods for selecting acceptance criteria with respect to software product quality have also been suggested.

It is necessary to register precisely Digital Elevation Model (DEM) generated from SPOT -5 stereo images in order to monitor the topographic and environmental changes of important topographic features such as Mt. Baekdu. The SPOT-5 DEM is registered taking SRTM DEM as a reference DEM. If SPOT-5 DEM is transformed with single 3D rigid equation, it has many errors. Therefore, this study extracted uniformly ground control points over study area and estimated locally adapted transformation equation. The accuracy of proposed method was evaluated with comparison to scale-based and GCP-based transformation method.
