Conventionally, in material management at a construction site, the type, size, and quantity of materials are identified by the eyes of the worker. Labor-intensive material management by manpower is slow, requires a lot of manpower, is prone to errors, and has limitations in that computerization of information on the identified types and quantities is additionally required. Therefore, a method that can quickly and accurately determine the type, size, and quantity of materials with a minimum number of workers is required to reduce labor costs at the construction site and improve work efficiency. In this study, we developed an automated convolution neural network(CNN) and computer vision technology-based rebar size and quantity estimation system that can quickly and accurately determine the type, size, and quantity of materials through images.

A computer vision system was built to automatically grade the leaf tobacco. A color image processing algorithm was developed to extract shape, color and texture features. An improved back propagation algorithm in an artificial neural network was applied to grade the Burley type dried leaf tobacco. The success rate of grading in three-grade classification(1, 3, 5) was higher than the rate of grading in six-grade classification(1, 2, 3, 4, 5, off), on the average success rate of both the twenty-five local pixel-set and the sixteen local pixel-set. And, the average grading success rate using both shape and color features was higher than the rate using shape, color and texture features. Thus, the texture feature obtained by the spatial gray level dependence method was found not to be important in grading leaf tobacco. Grading according to the shape, color and texture features obtained by machine vision system seemed to be inadequate for replacing manual grading of Burely type dried leaf tobacco.

According to the Statistics Korea in 2017, the 10 leading causes of death contain a cardiac disorder disease, self-injury. In terms of these diseases, urgent assistance is highly required when people do not move for certain period of time. We propose an unusual event detection algorithm to identify abnormal user behaviors using dust, vision and activity sensors in their houses. Vision sensors can detect personalized activity behaviors within the CCTV range in the house in their lives. The pattern algorithm using the dust sensors classifies user movements or dust-generated daily behaviors in indoor areas. The accelerometer sensor in the smartphone is suitable to identify activity behaviors of the mobile users. We evaluated the proposed pattern algorithms and the fusion method in the scenarios.

Brain tumors can also be an abnormal collection or accumulation of cells in the brain that can be life-threatening due to their ability to invade and metastasize to nearby tissues. Accurate diagnosis is critical to the success of treatment planning, and resonant imaging is the primary diagnostic imaging method used to diagnose brain tumors and their extent. Deep learning methods for computer vision applications have shown significant improvements in recent years, primarily due to the undeniable fact that there is a large amount of data on the market to teach models. Therefore, improvements within the model architecture perform better approximations in the monitored configuration. Tumor classification using these deep learning techniques has made great strides by providing reliable, annotated open data sets. Reduce computational effort and learn specific spatial and temporal relationships. This white paper describes transfer models such as the MobileNet model, VGG19 model, InceptionResNetV2 model, Inception model, and DenseNet201 model. The model uses three different optimizers, Adam, SGD, and RMSprop. Finally, the pre-trained MobileNet with RMSprop optimizer is the best model in this paper, with 0.995 accuracies, 0.99 sensitivity, and 1.00 specificity, while at the same time having the lowest computational cost.

Recently, on-device artificial intelligence (AI) solutions using mobile devices and embedded edge devices have emerged in various fields, such as computer vision, to address network traffic burdens, low-energy operations, and security problems. Although vision transformer deep learning models have outperformed conventional convolutional neural network (CNN) models in computer vision, they require more computations and parameters than CNN models. Thus, they are not directly applicable to embedded edge devices with limited hardware resources. Many researchers have proposed various model compression methods or lightweight architectures for vision transformers; however, there are only a few studies evaluating the effects of model compression techniques of vision transformers on performance. Regarding this problem, this paper presents a performance evaluation of vision transformers on embedded platforms. We investigated the behaviors of three vision transformers: DeiT, LeViT, and MobileViT. Each model performance was evaluated by accuracy and inference time on edge devices using the ImageNet dataset. We assessed the effects of the quantization method applied to the models on latency enhancement and accuracy degradation by profiling the proportion of response time occupied by major operations. In addition, we evaluated the performance of each model on GPU and EdgeTPU-based edge devices. In our experimental results, LeViT showed the best performance in CPU-based edge devices, and DeiT-small showed the highest performance improvement in GPU-based edge devices. In addition, only MobileViT models showed performance improvement on EdgeTPU. Summarizing the analysis results through profiling, the degree of performance improvement of each vision transformer model was highly dependent on the proportion of parts that could be optimized in the target edge device. In summary, to apply vision transformers to on-device AI solutions, either proper operation composition and optimizations specific to target edge devices must be considered.

Objectives: To build basic clinical data for developing an artificial intelligence algorithm for Korean herbal prescriptions for anxiety, depression, anger, and insomnia. Methods: Subjects were recruited among those who reported mild or more severe symptoms of anxiety, depression, anger, and insomnia (Anxiety: State-Trait Anxiety Inventory≥40, Depression: Beck Depression Inventory≥14, Anger: State-Trait Anxiety Inventory≥16, Insomnia: Insomnia Severity Index≥8). Clinical observation items including basic medical information and symptoms were collected from them. These data were then analyzed by experts in Hyungsang medicine, Sasang constitutional medicine, and Sanghan-Geumgwe medicine. Results and Conclusions: Experts of the three societies presented key clinical data and recommended prescriptions. Results of this study can be used as basic data for developing an artificial intelligence algorithm for Korean herbal prescriptions in the future.

The construction industry, which has a labour-intensive and conservative nature, is exclusive to adopt new technologies. However, the construction industry is viably introducing the 4th Industrial Revolution technologies represented by artificial intelligence, Internet of Things, robotics and unmanned transportation to promote change into a smart industry. An image-based artificial intelligence technology is a field of computer vision technology that refers to machines mimicking human visual recognition of objects from pictures or videos. The purpose of this article is to explore image-based artificial intelligence technologies which would be able to apply to the construction sites. In this study, we show two examples which is one for a construction waste classification model and another for cast in-situ anchor bolts defection detection model. Image-based intelligence technologies would be used for various measurement, classification, and detection works that occur in the construction projects.
