The existing Von Neumann architecture places limits to data processing in AI, a booming technology. To address this issue, research is being conducted on computing architectures and artificial neural networks that simulate neurons and synapses, which are the hardware of the human brain. With high-speed, high-throughput data communication infrastructures, photonic solutions today are a mature industrial reality. In particular, due to the recent outstanding achievements of artificial neural networks, there is considerable interest in improving their speed and energy efficiency by exploiting photonic-based neuromorphic hardware instead of electronic-based hardware. This paper covers recent photonic neuromorphic studies and a classification of existing solutions (categorized into multilayer perceptrons, convolutional neural networks, spiking neural networks, and reservoir computing).

The frequency range of a radio wave is from 3kHz to 300GHz, and radio technologies use this range to improve the quality of human lives. Radio technologies have entered a new phase of communication. The core infrastructure used as the basis for technologies leading the fourth industrial evolution, such as artificial intelligence, the Internet of Things, autonomous cars/drones, augmented reality, robots, and remote medical diagnoses, is the 5G network. The 5G network enables transmitting and receiving large amounts of data at very high speed. In particular, application technologies with artificial intelligence have been studied, including radar, wireless charging, electromagnetic devices and their effects on humans, EMI/EMC, and microwave imaging. In this study, we present a future radio technology that is needed to prepare for the upcoming industrial revolution and digital transformation.

Nowadays, many people enjoy playing games in computer. In this kind of game, people often meet NPC (Non Player Character). It is the virtual character in simplified form of real player and exits in most of current computer games. Various NPCs add the reality and atmosphere of the game as well as help players. There are several techniques to embody NPC, but developers generally use AI technique. This paper discusses some artificial intelligence techniques used in game contents. Especially this paper focuses on the AI techniques used in computer games in terms of the two main approaches, symbolic approach and sub-symbolic approach.

As the demand for high-quality rendering for mixed reality, videogame, and simulation has increased, global illumination has been actively researched. Monte Carlo path tracing can realize global illumination and produce photorealistic scenes that include critical effects such as color bleeding, caustics, multiple light, and shadows. If the sampling rate is insufficient, however, the rendered results have a large amount of noise. The most successful approach to eliminating or reducing Monte Carlo noise uses a feature-based filter. It exploits the scene characteristics such as a position within a world coordinate and a shading normal. In general, the techniques are based on the denoised pixel or sample and are computationally expensive. However, the main challenge for all of them is to find the appropriate weights for every feature while preserving the details of the scene. In this paper, we compare the recent algorithms for removing Monte Carlo noise in terms of their performance and quality. We also describe their advantages and disadvantages. As far as we know, this study is the first in the world to compare the artificial intelligence-based denoising methods for Monte Carlo rendering.

인공조명의 특징은 중앙을 기준으로 수많은 방사형과 직선형 빛을 방출한다. 이러한 빛의 퍼짐을 3D로 표현하기는 매우 어렵고 복잡하다. 또한 빛의 효과에 따른 물체의 색상은 매우 다양하고 많은 변수 값 때문에 사용자가 정확히 물체를 표현하기 어렵다. 이러한 문제점을 해결하기 위하여 본 논문에서는 방사형과 직선형 빛을 손쉽게 표현하기 위한 모델을 제시하고 X3D를 사용하여 인공조명을 설계하였다. 그리고 사용자가 3D 물체의 색상을 정확하고 쉽게 표현할 수 있도록 물체의 색상을 요소별로 분리한 후 사용자가 직접 육안으로 각 요소의 색상 값을 관찰하며 조정하도록 온라인 시스템을 제안하였다. 제안된 시스템을 사용하여 다양한 인공조명을 손쉽게 생성할 수 있었다.

This study analyzes the trends of recommendation services for customized fashion styles in relation to artificial intelligence. To achieve this goal, the study examined filtering technologies of collaborative, content based, and deep-learning as well as analyzed the characteristics of recommendation services in the users' purchasing process. The results of this study showed that the most universal recommendation technology is collaborative filtering. Collaborative filtering was shown to allow intuitive searching of similar fashion styles in the cognition of need stage, and appeared to be useful in comparing prices but not suitable for innovative customers who pursue early trends. Second, content based filtering was shown to utilize body shape as a key personal profile item in order to reduce the possibility of failure when selecting sizes online, which has limits to being able to wear the product beforehand. Third, fashion style recommendations applied with deep-learning intervene with all user processes of buying products online that was also confirmed to penetrate into the creative area of image tag services, virtual reality services, clothes wearing fit evaluation services, and individually customized design services.

인간의 외부 인지 감각을 인공적인 기술로 자극하여 실제와 유사한 체험을 제공하는 가상현실(VR, Virtual Reality) 기술은 실 환경에서 제한되는 훈련 환경을 제공하는 대안으로 산업 분야 안전사고 예방 또는 조치에 대한 훈련시스템 구현 핵심 기술로 응용이 시도되고 있다. 하지만 3D 모델링과 소프트웨어 코딩으로 구현되는 시각체험 VR 환경 즉, 훈련용 콘텐츠는 개발에 많은 자원이 요구되어 훈련시스템 구축에 어려움을 주고 있다. 본 연구에서는 VR 기반 훈련용 콘텐츠 구현에 있어 동적 가시화 컴포넌트(VRDC, VR based Dynamic visualization Component)를 활용하는 방안을 제시하며 플랜트 안전훈련 시스템에 이를 적용함으로써 실용성을 검증하였다.

Objectives: Augmented reality (AR) technology has become rapidly available and is suitable for various medical applications since it can provide effective visualization of intricate anatomical structures inside the human body. This paper describes the procedure to develop an AR app with Unity3D and Vuforia software development kit and publish it to a smartphone for the localization of critical tissues or organs that cannot be seen easily by the naked eye during surgery. Methods: In this study, Vuforia version 6.5 integrated with the Unity Editor was installed on a desktop computer and configured to develop the Android AR app for the visualization of internal organs. Three-dimensional segmented human organs were extracted from a computerized tomography file using Seg3D software, and overlaid on a target body surface through the developed app with an artificial marker. Results: To aid beginners in using the AR technology for medical applications, a 3D model of the thyroid and surrounding structures was created from a thyroid cancer patient's DICOM file, and was visualized on the neck of a medical training mannequin through the developed AR app. The individual organs, including the thyroid, trachea, carotid artery, jugular vein, and esophagus were localized by the surgeon's Android smartphone. Conclusions: Vuforia software can help even researchers, students, or surgeons who do not possess computer vision expertise to easily develop an AR app in a user-friendly manner and use it to visualize and localize critical internal organs without incision. It could allow AR technology to be extensively utilized for various medical applications.

컴퓨터 비전 분류 연구에서 합성곱 신경망 (Convolutional Neural Network)은 탁월한 이미지 분류성능을 보여준다. 이에 영감을 받아 예술 관련 이미지 분류 작업에 대한 적용 가능성을 분석해 본다. 본 논문에서는 예술 작품 아티스트 분류의 정확도를 향상시키기 위해 최적화된 합성곱 신경망 구조를 제안한다. 미세 조정 범위 시나리오와 완전연결층 조정 시나리오를 세운 뒤 그에 따른 예술 작품 아티스트 분류의 정확도를 측정했다. 즉, 학습 컨볼루션 레이어(Convolution layer) 수와 완전연결층 수 등 ResNet50 모델의 구조를 변경하며 예술 작품 아티스트 분류의 정확도가 향상되도록 최적화했다. 본 논문에서 제안하는 합성곱 신경망 구조는 기존 예술 작품 아티스트 분류에서 쓰이던 AlexNet 모델을 1-GPU 버전으로 수정한 CaffeNet 모델보다 더 높은 정확도를 실험결과에서 증명한다.
