In this paper, a covariance matrix and modulogram are proposed for realizing amphibian sound classification using CNN (Convolutional Neural Network). First of all, a database is established by collecting amphibians sounds including endangered species in natural environment. In order to apply the database to CNN, it is necessary to standardize acoustic signals with different lengths. To standardize the acoustic signals, covariance matrix that gives distribution information and modulogram that contains the information about change over time are extracted and used as input to CNN. The experiment is conducted by varying the number of a convolutional layer and a fully-connected layer. For performance assessment, several conventional methods are considered representing various feature extraction and classification approaches. From the results, it is confirmed that convolutional layer has a greater impact on performance than the fully-connected layer. Also, the performance based on CNN shows attaining the highest recognition rate with 99.07 % among the considered methods.

Facial alignment is very important task for human life. And facial landmark detection is one of the instrumental methods in face alignment. We introduce the stacked hourglass networks with transposed convolutional layers for facial landmark detection. our method substitutes nearest neighbor upsampling for transposed convolutional layer. Our method returns better accuracy in facial landmark detection compared to stacked hourglass networks with nearest neighbor upsampling.

In this paper, as a liberal arts course for non-majors, we developed a basic practice case for convolutional neural networks, which is essential for designing a basic convolutional neural network course curriculum. The developed practice case focuses on understanding the working principle of the convolutional neural network and uses a spreadsheet to check the entire visualized process. The developed practice case consisted of generating supervised learning method image training data, implementing the input layer, convolution layer (convolutional layer), pooling layer, and output layer sequentially, and testing the performance of the convolutional neural network on new data. By extending the practice cases developed in this paper, the number of images to be recognized can be expanded, or basic practice cases can be made to create a convolutional neural network that increases the compression rate for high-quality images. Therefore, it can be said that the utility of this convolutional neural network basic practice case is high.

최근 딥러닝 기술은 여러 컴퓨터 비전 응용 분야에서 많이 쓰이고 있다. 물체 인식, 분류 및 영상 생성 등을 예로 들 수 있다. 특히 초고해상도 변환 문제에서 최근 딥러닝을 사용하면서 큰 성능 개선을 얻고 있다. Fast super-resolution convolutional neural network (FSRCNN)은 딥러닝 기반 초고해상도 알고리즘으로 잘 알려져 있으며, 여러 개의 convolutional layer로 추출한 저 해상도의 입력 특징을 활용하여 deconvolutional layer에서 초고해상도의 영상을 출력하는 알고리즘이다. 본 논문에서는 병렬 연산 효율성을 고려한 FPGA 기반 convolutional neural networks 가속기를 제안한다. 특히 deconvolutional layer를 convolutional layer로 변환하는 방법을 통해서 에너지 효율적인 가속기를 설계했다. 또한 제안한 방법은 FPGA 리소스를 고려하여 FSRCNN의 구조를 변형한 Optimal-FSRCNN을 제안한다. 사용하는 곱셈기의 개수를 FSRCNN 대비 2.4 배 압축하였고, 초고해상도 변환 성능을 평가하는 지표인 PSNR은 FSRCNN과 비슷한 성능을 내고 있다. 이를 통해서 FPGA 에 최적화된 네트워크를 구현하여 FHD 입력 영상을 UHD 영상으로 출력하는 실시간 영상처리 기술을 개발했다.

The features extracted by convolutional neural networks are more descriptive of images than traditional features, and their convolutional layers are more suitable for retrieving images than are fully connected layers. The convolutional layer features will consume considerable time and memory if used directly to match an image. Therefore, this paper proposes a feature weighting and region integration method for convolutional layer features to form global feature vectors and subsequently use them for image matching. First, the 3D feature of the last convolutional layer is extracted, and the convolutional feature is subsequently weighted again to highlight the edge information and position information of the image. Next, we integrate several regional eigenvectors that are processed by sliding windows into a global eigenvector. Finally, the initial ranking of the retrieval is obtained by measuring the similarity of the query image and the test image using the cosine distance, and the final mean Average Precision (mAP) is obtained by using the extended query method for rearrangement. We conduct experiments using the Oxford5k and Paris6k datasets and their extended datasets, Paris106k and Oxford105k. These experimental results indicate that the global feature extracted by the new method can better describe an image.

Currently Artificial Inteligence and Deep Learning are social issues, and These technologies are applied to various fields. A good method among the various algorithms in Artificial Inteligence is Convolutional Neural Network. Convolutional Neural Network is a form that adds convolution layers that extracts features by convolution operation on a general neural network method. If you use Convolutional Neural Network as small amount of data, or if the structure of layers is not complicated, you don't have to pay attention to speed. But the learning time is long as the size of the learning data is large and the structure of layers is complicated. So, GPU-based parallel processing is a lot. In this paper, we developed Convolutional Neural Network using CUDA and Learning speed is faster and more efficient than the method using the CPU.

Convolutional neural network (CNN) consists of a few pairs of both convolution layer and subsampling layer. Thus it has more hidden layers than multi-layer perceptron. With the increased layers, the size of convolution mask ultimately determines the total number of weights in CNN because the mask is shared among input images. It also is an important learning factor which makes or breaks CNN's learning. Therefore, this paper proposes the best method to choose the convolution size and the number of layers for learning CNN successfully. Through our face recognition with vast learning examples, we found that the best size of convolution mask is 5 by 5 and 7 by 7, regardless of the number of layers. In addition, the CNN with two pairs of both convolution and subsampling layer is found to make the best performance as if the multi-layer perceptron having two hidden layers does.

In this paper, we propose a method to accelerate convolutional neural network by utilizing a GPGPU. Convolutional neural network is a sort of the neural network learning features of images. Convolutional neural network is suitable for the image processing required to learn a lot of data such as images. The convolutional layer of the conventional CNN required a large number of multiplications and it is difficult to operate in the real-time on the embedded environment. In this paper, we reduce the number of multiplications through Winograd convolution operation and perform parallel processing of the convolution by utilizing SIMT-based GPGPU. The experiment was conducted using ModelSim and TestDrive, and the experimental results showed that the processing time was improved by about 17%, compared to the conventional convolution.
