Recently, with the development of IoT technology and AI, unmanned and automated systems are progressing in various fields, and various application technologies are being studied in systems using algorithms such as object detection, recognition, and tracking. In the case of a system operating based on an image, noise removal is performed as a pre-processing process, and precise noise removal is sometimes required depending on the environment of the system. In this paper, we propose a modified central weight filter algorithm using pixel division of local regions to minimize the blurring that tends to occur in the filtering process and to emphasize the details of the resulting image. In the proposed algorithm, when a pixel of a local area is divided into two areas, the center of the dominant area among the divided areas is set as a criterion for the weight filter algorithm. The resulting image is calculated by convolving the transformed center weight with the pixel value inside the filtering mask.

최근 문화유산 해설 분야에도 AI를 도입하기 위해 여러 노력을 기울이고 있으나, 관람객의 특성이나 관심사를 고려하지 않고 사전에 수동으로 입력한 동일한 문화해설 콘텐츠를 다수의 관람객에게 반복 전달하는 형태로만 제공되는데 그치고 있다. 본 논문에서는 관람객이 관람 중인 문화유산을 관람객의 다양한 관심사에 맞추어 문화유산을 다양하게 해설해주기 위한 기초 연구로 영상을 통해 입력된 한국 전통회화에서 도상을 검출하는 연구를 진행하였다. 아직 가능성 타진 연구로 진행되어 현재 제시된 실험 결과에서는 우수한 도상 검출 성능을 내지 못하였지만, 다양한 증강기법과 퓨샷 러닝기법을 통하여 성능 향상을 도모할 경우 충분히 관람객 맞춤형 문화유산 해설 분야에 활용 가능할 것으로 기대된다.

Visual information understanding is known as one of the most difficult and challenging problems in the realization of machine intelligence. This paper proposes deriving visual verb and construction of ActionNet database as a video database for video semantic understanding. Even though development AI (artificial intelligence) algorithms have contributed to the large part of modern advances in AI technologies, huge amount of database for algorithm development and test plays a great role as well. As the performance of object recognition algorithms in still images are surpassing human's ability, research interests shifting to semantic understanding of video contents. This paper proposes candidates of visual verb requiring in the construction of ActionNet as a learning and test database for video understanding. In order to this, we first investigate verb taxonomy in linguistics, and then propose candidates of visual verb from video description database and frequency of verbs. Based on the derived visual verb candidates, we have defined and constructed ActionNet schema and database. According to expanding usability of ActionNet database on open environment, we expect to contribute in the development of video understanding technologies.

This study investigates user behavior in library spaces through the lens of AI camera analytics. By leveraging the face recognition and tracking capabilities of AI cameras, we accurately identified the gender and age of visitors and meticulously collected video data to track their movements. Our findings revealed that female users slightly outnumbered male users and the dominant age group was individuals in their 30s. User visits peaked between Tuesday to Friday, with the highest footfall recorded between 14:00 and 15:00 pm, while visits decreased over the weekend. Most visitors utilized one or two specific spaces, frequently consulting the information desk for inquiries, checking out/returning items, or using the rest area for relaxation. The library stacks were used approximately twice as much as they were avoided. The most frequented subject areas were Philosophy(100), Religion(200), Social Sciences(300), Science(400), Technology(500), and Literature(800), with Literature(800) and Religion(200) displaying the most intersections with other areas. By categorizing users into five clusters based on space utilization patterns, we discerned varying objectives and subject interests, providing insights for future library service enhancements. Moreover, the study underscores the need to address the associated costs and privacy concerns when considering the broader application of AI camera analytics in library settings.

Purpose: The purpose of this paper is to develope smoke detection using AI model for detecting the initial fire in underground utility tunnels using CCTV Method: To improve detection performance of smoke which is high irregular, a deep learning model for fire detection was trained to optimize smoke detection. Also, several approaches such as dataset cleansing and gradient exploding release were applied to enhance model, and compared with results of those. Result: Results show the proposed approaches can improve the model performance, and the final model has good prediction capability according to several indexes such as mAP. However, the final model has low false negative but high false positive capacities. Conclusion: The present model can apply to smoke detection in underground utility tunnel, fixing the defect by linking between the model and the utility tunnel control system.

인공지능 시대에 들어서면서 개인 맞춤형 환경을 제공하기 위하여 사람의 감정을 인식하고 교감하는 기술이 많이 발전되고 있다. 사람의 감정을 인식하는 방법으로는 얼굴, 음성, 신체 동작, 생체 신호 등이 있지만 이 중 가장 직관적이면서도 쉽게 접할 수 있는 것은 표정이다. 따라서, 본 논문에서는 정확도 높은 얼굴 감정 식별을 위해서 Convolution Block Attention Module(CBAM)의 각 Gate와 Residual Block, Skip Connection을 이용한 Identity- CBAM Module을 제안한다. CBAM의 각 Gate와 Residual Block을 이용하여 각각의 표정에 대한 핵심 특징 정보들을 강조하여 Context 한 모델로 변화시켜주는 효과를 가지게 하였으며 Skip-Connection을 이용하여 기울기 소실 및 폭발에 강인하게 해주는 모듈을 제안한다. AI-HUB의 한국인 감정 인식을 위한 복합 영상 데이터 세트를 이용하여 총 6개의 클래스로 구분하였으며, F1-Score, Accuracy 기준으로 Identity-CBAM 모듈을 적용하였을 때 Vanilla ResNet50, ResNet101 대비 F1-Score 0.4~2.7%, Accuracy 0.18~2.03%의 성능 향상을 달성하였다. 또한, Guided Backpropagation과 Guided GradCam을 통해 시각화하였을 때 중요 특징점들을 더 세밀하게 표현하는 것을 확인하였다. 결과적으로 이미지 내 표정 분류 Task에서 Vanilla ResNet50, ResNet101을 사용하는 것보다 Identity-CBAM Module을 함께 사용하는 것이 더 적합함을 입증하였다.

Artificial Intelligence (AI) techniques have been effectively used for image classification, object detection, and image segmentation. Along with the recent advancement of computing power, deep learning models can build deeper and thicker networks and achieve better performance by creating more appropriate feature maps based on effective activation functions and optimizer algorithms. This review paper examined technical and academic trends of Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) and Transformer models that are emerging techniques in remote sensing and suggested their utilization strategies and development directions. A timely supply of satellite images and real-time processing for deep learning to cope with disaster monitoring will be required for future work. In addition, a big data platform dedicated to satellite images should be developed and integrated with drone and Closed-circuit Television (CCTV) images.

With the recent development of device performance such as smartphones, cameras, and video cameras, it has become possible to obtain human biometric information from images and photos. A German hacker group obtained human iris information from high-definition photos and revealed hacking into iris scanners on smartphones. As high-quality images and photos can be obtained with such advanced devices, the need for a suitable security system is also emerging. Therefore, in this paper, we propose a method of automatically masking human iris information in images and photos using Haar Cascades and Blur models from openCV. It is a technology that automatically masks iris information by recognizing a person's eye in a photo or video and provides the result. If this technology is used in devices and applications such as smartphones and zoom, it is expected to provide better security services to users.
