With the outbreak of COVID-19 a few years ago, video conferencing and electronic document work have increased, and for this reason, the proportion of computer work among modern people's daily routines is increasing. However, as more and more people work on computers in the wrong posture for a long time, the number of patients with poor eyesight and text neck is increasing. Until recently, many studies have been published to correct posture, but most of them have limitations that users may experience discomfort because they have to correct posture by wearing equipment. A posture correction sensor algorithm is proposed to prevent access to the minimum distance between a computer monitor and a person using an ultrasonic sensor device. At this time, an algorithm for minimizing false alarms among warning alarms that sound at the minimum distance is also proposed. Because the ultrasonic sensor device is used, posture correction can be performed without attaching a device to the body, and the user can relieve discomfort. In addition, experimental results showed that accuracy can be improved by reducing false alarms by removing more than half of the noise generated during distance measurement.

In this paper, we propose a texture map compression method based on the hierarchical coding method of SHVC to support the scalability function of dynamic mesh compression. The proposed method effectively eliminates the redundancy of multiple-resolution texture maps by downsampling a high-resolution texture map to generate multiple-resolution texture maps and encoding them with SHVC. The dynamic mesh decoder supports the scalability of mesh data by decoding a texture map having an appropriate resolution according to receiver performance and network environment. To evaluate the performance of the proposed method, the proposed method is applied to V-DMC (Video-based Dynamic Mesh Coding) reference software, TMMv1.0, and the performance of the scalable encoder/decoder proposed in this paper and TMMv1.0-based simulcast method is compared. As a result of experiments, the proposed method effectively improves in performance the average of -7.7% and -5.7% in terms of point cloud-based BD-rate (Luma PSNR) in AI and LD conditions compared to the simulcast method, confirming that it is possible to effectively support the texture map scalability of dynamic mesh data through the proposed method.

In this paper, we propose a fire detection system based on CCTV images using an object tracking technology with YOLOv4 model capable of real-time object detection and a DeepSORT algorithm. The fire detection model was learned from 10800 pieces of learning data and verified through 1,000 separate test sets. Subsequently, the fire detection rate in a single image and fire detection maintenance performance in the image were increased by tracking the detected fire area through the DeepSORT algorithm. It is verified that a fire detection rate for one frame in video data or single image could be detected in real time within 0.1 second. In this paper, our AI fire detection system is more stable and faster than the existing fire accident detection system.

This study aims to identify the effect on the user experiences when the embodied agent in a self-driving car interacts with emotional expressions by using 'interjection'. An experimental study was designed with two conditions: the inclusion of injections in the agent's conversation feedbacks (with interjections vs. without interjections) and the type of conversation (task-oriented conversation vs. social-oriented conversation). The online experiment was conducted with the four video clips of conversation scenario treatments and measured intimacy, likability, trust, social presence, perceived anthropomorphism, and future intention to use. The result showed that when the agent used interjection, the main effect on social presence was found in both conversation types. When the agent did not use interjection in the task-oriented conversation, trust and future intention to use were higher than when the agent talked with emotional expressions. In the context of the conversation with the AI agent in a self-driving car, we found only the effect of adding emotional expression by using interjection on the enhancing social presence, but no effect on the other user experience factors.

Demands for tangible contents using VR/AR technologies are much bigger as contactless services such as sports, physical activity, and fitness are expanded after COVID-19. A variety of technologies such as an offer and analysis of tangible data through a sensor technology, users' physical movement sensing through a motion recognition sensor, a real-time measurement of a physical skeleton point a multiple access to a real-time video, and AI training are being utilized as main technologies. This case study utilized motion recognition technologies as the study on tangible contents necessary for indoor-based physical education, sports, and fitness in the contactless environment and suggested cases to develop the physical measurement contents by design approach for the measurement assessment necessary for the development in tangible contents. The research established lists of the measurement assessment based on professionals' consultations within the measurement assessment function through the test to plan tangible contents and developed tangible contents by reflecting them as assessment measurement elements of tangible contents. The research can be utilized as the design approach of industrial companies which intend to develop tangible contents as well as reference cases of the research on contactless tangible contents for the sports and physical education.

In this paper, we propose a method for generating luma signal mapping function to improve the coding efficiency of luma signal mapping methods in LMCS. In this paper, we propose a method to reflect the cognitive and perceptual features by multiplying the attention map of convolutional neural networks on local spatial variance used to reflect local features in the existing LMCS. To evaluate the performance of the proposed method, BD-rate is compared with VTM-12.0 using classes A1, A2, B, C and D of MPEG standard test sequences under AI (All Intra) conditions. As a result of experiments, the proposed method in this paper shows improvement in performance the average of -0.07% for luma components in terms of BD-rate performance compared to VTM-12.0 and encoding/decoding time is almost the same.

Recently, de-identification of personal information, which has been a long-cherished desire of the data-based industry, was revised and specified in August 2020. It became the foundation for activating data called crude oil[2] in the fourth industrial era in the industrial field. However, some people are concerned about the infringement of the basic rights of the data subject[3]. Accordingly, a development study was conducted on the Batch De-Identification Tool, a personal information de-identification automation tool. In this study, first, we developed an image labeling tool to label human faces (eyes, nose, mouth) and car license plates of various resolutions to build data for training. Second, an object recognition model was trained to run the object recognition module to perform de-identification of personal information. The automated personal information de-identification tool developed as a result of this research shows the possibility of proactively eliminating privacy violations through online services. These results suggest possibilities for data-based industries to maximize the value of data while balancing privacy and utilization.

Swift and appropriate responses in emergency situations like objects falling on the road can bring convenience to road users and effectively reduces secondary traffic accidents. In Korea, current intelligent transportation system (ITS)-based detection systems for emergency road situations mainly rely on loop detectors and CCTV cameras, which only capture road data within detection range of the equipment. Therefore, a new detection method is needed to identify emergency situations in spatially shaded areas that existing ITS detection systems cannot reach. In this study, we propose a ResNet-based algorithm that detects and classifies emergency situations from vehicle camera footage. We collected front-view driving videos recorded on Korean highways, labeling each video by defining the type of emergency, and training the proposed algorithm with the data.
