In this study, we investigated the effects of mixing on the aggressive behavior of commercially housed pigs. The behavioral patterns of 36 groups of pigs (a total of 360 animals) were observed over 3 consecutive days directly after weaning ($25{\pm}1.2$ days of age), and 25 and 50 days later with the aid of video technology. Fight latency and total duration and frequency of fighting were significantly different among the age groups. The aggressive behaviors decreased in 75-day old pigs if compared to 25- and 50-day old animals. Moreover, dominance index (DI) was higher in 25-day old and lower in 75-day old pigs. A comparison of dominant (DI>0) and submissive (DI<0) pigs showed significant differences (p<0.05) for major aggressive behaviors in all age groups. Dominant pigs were involved in more aggressive interactions, had longer fights, and initiated more fights than submissive pigs. Post-mixing aggressive behavior was altered by previous experience of mixing. Aggressive behavior and DI are suitable methods for analyzing the effects of mixing on commercially housed growing pigs.

Virtual Reality is broadly recognized as an "empathy machine". This reputation is due to the feeling of 'presence' that it provides to users, which is the sensation of being bodily present in a space, even when that space is virtual. The possibility of complete immersion attracts many creators looking to induce empathy and awareness about the most diverse subjects. One of the first types of VR non-fiction productions to be released was in the morally sensitive humanitarian documentary genre. This research aims to explore how VR productions differ from non-VR productions with a focus on humanitarian communication. Rather than targeting mechanical aspects of VR technology, this article compares the visual and narrative storytelling characteristics in VR and non-VR media. First, humanitarian communication and its nuances are explained. Then, 360° video filming characteristics are analyzed, followed by a comparison table contrasting VR and non-VR non-fiction. After evaluating VR non-fiction empirical studies, a discussion is initiated over the betterment of VR non-fiction storytelling in a way that could help it generate more empathy, since many productions seem to purely rely on the technology as a production novelty, and end up lacking emotional depth and audience engagement through story.

Supporting user perceptual QoE-guaranteed IP-based multimedia service such as IPTV and Mobile IPTV, we represent an efficient QoE-aware transport stream assessment schemes to apply realtime mobile IPTV's contents distorted by various network errors such as bandwidth, delay, jitter, and packet loss. This paper proposes in detail an efficient matching and QoE-aware measurement methods. The brightness of the digitized contents per each frames of transport streams is used and applied to reduced-reference method. The hybrid video quality metric is designed by QoE-indicators such as blur, block, edge busyness, and color error. We compare original with processed source to evaluate them in a high precision degree of accuracy.

본 논문에서는 새로운 율모델을 기반으로한 프레임 단위 HEVC 율제어 기법을 제안한다. 기존의 비디오 압축표준과는 달리 HEVC 는 계층 구조를 지닌 쿼드트리 기반 움직임 예측 및 변환 부호화를 수행한다. 본 논문에서는 쿼드트리 계층의 깊이에 따라 신호의 통계적 특성이 매우 달라지는 것은 이용하여 라플라시안 확률 모델을 각 쿼드트리 계층에 독립적으로 이용한 새로운 율모델을 이용한 율제어 기법을 제안한다. 제안방법에서는 계층적 부호화 단위인 CU 를 계층 깊이에 따라 세 가지 카테고리로 분류하고 각 카테고리에 따라 변환 계수에 대한 라플라시안 확률 분포 함수를 율-양자화 모델을 만든다. 제안된 율모델은 특성이 매우 다른 각 CU 깊이에 따라 독립적인 라플라이안 확률 분포 함수를 이용하기 때문에 매우 정확하고 적응적인 비트율 예측이 가능하므로 보다 안정적이고 정확한 율제어가 가능하다. 실험결과는 제안된 율제어 기법이 단일 확률 분포 함수를 사용했을 경우보다 평균 0.16dB 의 PSNR 향상이 있었음을 보여주었으며 제안된 방법은 각 프레임에 대한 목표 비트에 보다 안정적으로 부호화하는 것을 보여주었다.

현재 통신 시장의 상황은 유무선 통신서비스 시장의 포화, 이동통신 시장의 기존 유선전화 규모 초과, 그리고 유선통신의 서비스 사업자의 영역 확대 도모 등을 특징으로 한다. 유무선 통합 (Fixed Mobile Convergence, FMC) 서비스는 유선통신 사업자를 중심으로 한 비즈니스 모델로 사용자에게 유무선 통신망 종류에 상관없이 일관되고 끊김없는 서비스를 제공하는 것을 목표로 한다. 이동통신망까지 확대하여 고객 기반을 유지하고자 하는 유선사업자들은 FMC 서비스 중 하나의 방안으로 IMS (IP Multimedia Subsystems) 기반의 VCC(Voice Call Continuity) 기능에 주목하고 있다. VCC AS(Application Server)는 이종망 (WiFi-CDMA)간 Seamless 핸드오버기능을 수행하므로, WiFi 와 CDMA를 지원할 수 있는 듀얼단말을 이용하여 사용자가 WiFi 서비스 지역과 CDMA 서비스 지역간 이동시에도 Seamless 한 음성서비스를 제공한다. 이에 본 논문은 IMS/VCC 기반으로 음성 seamless 핸드오버 적용 사례(시범서비스)를 중심으로 유무선 통신사업자 상호 Win-Win을 추구할 수 있는 LG데이콤 특화 VCC 모델을 제시한다. 그리고 LG데이콤이 추구하는 차세대 서비스인 사용자 context 기반의 개인화된 서비스 제공을 위한 IMS 기반 통합 프로파일/인증/과금 연구 동향에 대해 간략히 소개한다.

This paper proposes a dynamic-tiling-based bandwidth-efficient (DTBE) virtual reality (VR) streaming scheme. We consider 360-degree VR contents with multiple view points such as the front, back, upper, and bottom sides. At a given time, the focus of a client is always bound to a certain view among multiple view points. By utilizing this perspective, under our proposed scheme, tiles with high encoding rates are selectively assigned to the focused view where multiple view points consist of multiple tiles with different encoding rates. The other tiles with low encoding rates are assigned to the remaining view points. Furthermore, for reducing view adaptation delay, we design a novel rapid view adaptation mechanism that selectively delivers an I-frame during view point updates by using frame indexing. We implement the proposed scheme on a commercial VR test bed where we adopt the MPEG media transport (MMT) standard with high-efficiency video coding (HEVC) tile modes. The measurement-based experiments show that the proposed scheme achieves an average data usage reduction of almost 65.2% as well as average view adaptation delay reduction of almost 57.7%.

Monitoring civil structures periodically is necessary for ensuring the fitness of the structures. Cracks on inner and outer surfaces of the building plays a vital role in indicating the health of the building. Conventionally, human visual inspection techniques were carried up to human reachable altitudes. Monitoring of high rise infrastructures cannot be done using this primitive method. Also, there is a necessity for more accurate prediction of cracks on building surfaces for ensuring the health and safety of the building. The proposed research focused on developing an efficient crack classification model using Transfer Learning enabled EfficientNet (TL-EN) architecture. Though many other pre-trained models were available for crack classification, they rely on more number of training parameters for better accuracy. The TL-EN model attained an accuracy of 0.99 with less number of parameters on large dataset. A bench marked METU dataset with 40000 images were used to test and validate the proposed model. The surfaces of high rise buildings were investigated using vision enabled Unmanned Arial Vehicles (UAV). These UAV is fabricated with TL-EN model schema for capturing and analyzing the real time streaming video of building surfaces.

최근 영상 혹은 비디오를 이용한 신경망 기반 기술들이 활발히 응용되고 있으며, 신경망이 처리하는 임무도 다양하고 복잡해지고 있다. 이러한 신경망 임무의 다양성과 복잡성은 더욱 많은 비디오 데이터를 요구하기 때문에 비디오 데이터를 효과적으로 전송할 방법이 필요하다. 이에 따라 국제 표준화 단체인 MPEG 에서는 신경망 기계 소비에 적합한 비디오 부호화 표준 개발을 위해서 Video Coding for Machines 표준화를 진행하고 있다. 본 논문에서는 신경망의 특징 맵 부호화 효율을 개선하기 위해 특징 맵 채널 간의 유사도가 높도록 특징맵 채널을 재배열하여 압축하는 방법을 제안한다. 제안 방법으로 VCM 의 OpenImages 데이터셋의 5000 개 검증 영상 중 임의 선택된 360 개 영상에 대해 부호화 효율을 평가한 결과, 객체 검출 임무의 정확도가 유지되면서 모든 양자화 값에 대해 화소당 비트수가 감소했으며, BD-rate 측면에서 2.07%의 부호화 이득을 얻었다.

Accidents at construction sites in Korea account for more than half of all industrial accidents. To solve this problem, a policy to strengthen safety education was implemented to ensure the safety of workers. However, it was analyzed that there is a high possibility of accidents because workers did not receive proper safety information for each risk factor due to general lecture-style education. In addition, statistics show that the accident status of workers with fewer years of period is high, indicating that a customized information delivery method needs to be proposed for unskilled workers with fewer years of period. Research on the importance of education has been conducted, but no information delivery method has been identified. For unskilled workers to effectively receive safety information, appropriate delivery formats (text, photos, illustrations, 4D-BIM, 360-based panorama, video, animation) were analyzed, and a new method of education was proposed. If customized safety information is provided according to this proposal, effective information delivery to unskilled workers will be possible, and it is expected to be verified in various ways.
