Rumination in cattle is closely related to their health, which makes the automatic monitoring of rumination an important part of smart pasture operations. However, manual monitoring of cattle rumination is laborious and wearable sensors are often harmful to animals. Thus, we propose a computer vision-based method to automatically identify multi-object cattle rumination, and to calculate the rumination time and number of chews for each cow. The heads of the cattle in the video were initially tracked with a multi-object tracking algorithm, which combined the You Only Look Once (YOLO) algorithm with the kernelized correlation filter (KCF). Images of the head of each cow were saved at a fixed size, and numbered. Then, a rumination recognition algorithm was constructed with parameters obtained using the frame difference method, and rumination time and number of chews were calculated. The rumination recognition algorithm was used to analyze the head image of each cow to automatically detect multi-object cattle rumination. To verify the feasibility of this method, the algorithm was tested on multi-object cattle rumination videos, and the results were compared with the results produced by human observation. The experimental results showed that the average error in rumination time was 5.902% and the average error in the number of chews was 8.126%. The rumination identification and calculation of rumination information only need to be performed by computers automatically with no manual intervention. It could provide a new contactless rumination identification method for multi-cattle, which provided technical support for smart pasture.

Motion segmentation is a fundamental technique for analysing image sequences of real scenes. A process of identifying moving objects from data is a typical task in many computer vision applications. In this paper, we propose motion segmentation that generally consists from background subtraction and foreground pixel segmentation. The Approximated Median Filter (AMF) was chosen to perform background modeling. Motion segmentation in this paper covers RGB video data.

In this paper we propose a method predict whether a video frame contains motion according to the invoking situation of the coding unit mode in HEVC. The motion prediction of video frames is conducive for use in video compression and video data extraction. In the existing technology, motion prediction is usually performed by high complexity computer vision technology. However, we proposed to analyze the motion frame based on HEVC coding unit mode which does not need to use the static background frame. And the prediction accuracy rate of motion frame analysis by our method has exceeded 80%.

This paper presents a camera calibration method in order to estimate the lane detection and inter-vehicle distance estimation system for an automotive safety driving system. In order to implement the lane detection and vision-based inter-vehicle distance estimation to the embedded navigations or black box systems, it is necessary to consider the computation time and algorithm complexity. The process of camera calibration estimates the horizon, the position of the car's hood and the lane width for extraction of region of interest (ROI) from input image sequences. The precision of the calibration method is very important to the lane detection and inter-vehicle distance estimation. The proposed calibration method consists of three main steps: 1) horizon area determination; 2) estimation of the car's hood area; and 3) estimation of initial lane width. Various experimental results show the effectiveness of the proposed method.

In this paper, a novel multiple description image coding (MDC) scheme is proposed, which is based on the characteristics of the human visual model. Due to the inherent characteristics of human vision, the human eye can only perceive the change of the specific thresholds, that is, the just noticeable difference (JND) thresholds. Therefore, JND model is applied to improve MDC syetem. This paper calculates the DCT coefficients firstly, and then they are compared with the JND thresholds. The data that is less than the JND thresholds can be neglected, which will improve the coding efficiency. Compared with other existing methods, the experimental results of the proposed method are superior.

스트레스는 다양한 질병의 원인이 되며 스트레스의 해소는 질병 예방에 중요한 요인이라 할 수 있을 것이다. 스트레스를 해소시키는 방법 중 한 가지는 청각이나 시각을 이용하는 방법이다. 청각과 시각을 동시에 이용할 수 있다면 그 효과를 극대화 할 수 있을 것이다. 본 논문에서는 음악의 분위기를 자동으로 파악하고, 파악한 음악의 분위기를 표현할 수 있는 감성조명 시스템을 제안하였다. 본 논문에서 제시한 감성조명을 공원이나 가정집 등에 제공할 수 있을 것이고, 음악과 조명을 동시에 제공함으로 현대인 질병의 원인이라 할 수 있는 스트레스 해소가 가능 할 것이다. 또한 본 논문의 시스템을 이용하여 임상실험을 실시하여 임상데이터를 확보한다면 심리 치료를 목적으로 하는 의학적 도구로 발전 할 수 있을 것으로 보인다.

최근 컴퓨터 비전을 활용한 사물인식 기술이 센서 기반 사물인식 기술을 대체할 기술로 주목을 받고 있다. 센서 기반 사물인식 기술은 일반적으로 고가의 센서를 필요로 하기 때문에 기술이 상용화되기 어렵다는 문제가 있었다. 반면 컴퓨터 비전을 활용한 사물인식 기술은 고가의 센서 대신 비교적 저렴한 카메라를 사용할 수 있다. 동시에 CNN이 발전하면서 실시간 사물인식이 가능해진 이후 IoT, 자율주행자동차 등 타 분야에 활발하게 도입되고 있다. 그러나 사물 인식 모델을 상황에 알맞게 선택하고 학습시키기 위해서는 딥러닝에 대한 전문적인 지식을 요구하기 때문에 비전문가가 사물 인식 모델을 사용하기에는 어려움이 따른다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 딥러닝 기반 사물인식 모델들의 구조와 성능을 분석하고, 사용자가 원하는 조건의 최적의 딥러닝 기반 사물 인식 모델을 스스로 선정할 수 있는 플랫폼을 제안한다. 또한 통계에 기반한 사물 인식 모델 선정이 필요한 이유를 실험을 통해 증명한다.

People with visual disabilities suffer environmentally, socially, and technologically. Navigating through places and recognizing objects are already a big challenge for them who require assistance. This study aimed to develop an android-based assistive application for the visually impaired. Specifically, the study aimed to create a system that could aid visually impaired individuals performs significant tasks through object recognition and identifying locations through GPS and Google Maps. In this study, the researchers used an android phone allowing a visually impaired individual to go from one place to another with the aid of the application. Google Maps is integrated to utilize GPS in identifying locations and giving distance directions and the system has a cloud server used for storing pinned locations. Furthermore, Haar-like features were used in object recognition.
