It has been more than 20 years since the launch of KOMPSAT-1, and so far, a total of 5 satellites have been successfully launched. Until now, KOMPSAT has been used in various fields, including the production of various thematic maps, land change, environmental analysis, and marine monitoring. Many researchers have conducted research to process, analyze, and utilize KOMPSAT images. According to the national space development plan, the KOMPSAT series will be continuously developed to meet the demand for satellite images at the national level. If the ultimate purpose of satellite development is to utilize acquired images, systematic research to effectively utilize the developed satellites should be followed. This special issue introduces the recently conducted research on the use of KOMPSAT images.

Early detection and classification of crop diseases play significant role to help farmers to reduce disease spread and to increase agricultural productivity. Recently, many researchers have used deep learning techniques like convolutional neural network (CNN) classifier for crop disease inspection with dataset of crop leaf images (e.g., PlantVillage dataset). These researches present over 90% of classification accuracy for crop diseases, but they have ability to detect only the pre-trained diseases. This paper proposes an efficient disease inspection CNN model for new crops not used in the pre-trained model. First, we present a benchmark crop disease classifier (CDC) for the crops in PlantVillage dataset using VGG16. Then we build a modified crop disease classifier (mCDC) to inspect diseases for untrained crops. The performance evaluation results show that the proposed model outperforms the benchmark classifier.

This study is about a method of extracting a summary from a news article in consideration of the importance of each sentence constituting the article. We propose a method of calculating sentence importance by extracting the probabilities of topic sentence, similarity with article title and other sentences, and sentence position as characteristics that affect sentence importance. At this time, a hypothesis is established that the Topic Sentence will have a characteristic distinct from the general sentence, and a deep learning-based classification model is trained to obtain a topic sentence probability value for the input sentence. Also, using the pre-learned ELMo language model, the similarity between sentences is calculated based on the sentence vector value reflecting the context information and extracted as sentence characteristics. The topic sentence classification performance of the LSTM and BERT models was 93% accurate, 96.22% recall, and 89.5% precision, resulting in high analysis results. As a result of calculating the importance of each sentence by combining the extracted sentence characteristics, it was confirmed that the performance of extracting the topic sentence was improved by about 10% compared to the existing TextRank algorithm.

The purpose of this study is to analyze the effectiveness of AI convergence education program. To this end, the "Elementary Science AI Convergence Education Program for Machine Learning" developed in previous research were taught to elementary school students in the fourth to sixth grades in eight times. The quantitative changes of each factor were analyzed by R program, and the effectiveness of education was analyzed by Pearson correlation and paired samples t-test. As a result, there is a deep correlation between "Attitude to AI technology, Scientific preference and STEAM Literacy" and technical average has improved in many factors. Therefore, AI convergence education program is meaningful in terms of education, and if AI education and AI convergence education are implemented into the primary formal education curriculum, they will have a positive effect.

In this paper, we propose a method to effectively search by automatically classifying scenes in which specific images such as pitching or swing appear in baseball game images using a CNN(Convolution Neural Network) model. In addition, we propose a video scene search system that links the classification results of specific motions and game records. In order to test the efficiency of the proposed system, an experiment was conducted to classify the Korean professional baseball game videos from 2018 to 2019 by specific scenes. In an experiment to classify pitching scenes in baseball game images, the accuracy was about 90% for each game. And in the video scene search experiment linking the game record by extracting the scoreboard included in the game video, the accuracy was about 80% for each game. It is expected that the results of this study can be used effectively to establish strategies for improving performance by systematically analyzing past game images in Korean professional baseball games.

Autoregressive Text-to-Speech (TTS) models suffer from inference instability and slow inference speed. Inference instability occurs when a poorly predicted sample at time step t affects all the subsequent predictions. Slow inference speed arises from a model structure that forces the predicted samples from time steps 1 to t-1 to predict the sample at time step t. In this study, an end-to-end non-autoregressive fast text-to-speech model is suggested as a solution to these problems. The results of this study show that this model's Mean Opinion Score (MOS) is close to that of Tacotron 2 - WaveNet, while this model's inference speed and stability are higher than those of Tacotron 2 - WaveNet. Further, this study aims to offer insight into the improvement of non-autoregressive models.

Semantic role labeling task used in various natural language processing fields, such as information extraction and question answering systems, is the task of identifying the arugments for a given sentence and predicate. Predicate used as semantic role labeling input are extracted using lexical analysis results such as POS-tagging, but the problem is that predicate can't extract all linguistic patterns because predicate in korean language has various patterns, depending on the meaning of sentence. In this paper, we propose a korean predicate recognition method using neural network model with pre-trained embedding models and lexical features. The experiments compare the performance on the hyper parameters of models and with or without the use of embedding models and lexical features. As a result, we confirm that the performance of the proposed neural network model was 92.63%.

With the development of deep learning technology, there are many cases of using DNNs in embedded systems such as unmanned vehicles, drones, and robotics. Typically, in the case of an autonomous driving system, it is crucial to run several DNNs which have high accuracy results and large computation amount at the same time. However, running multiple DNNs simultaneously in an embedded system with relatively low performance increases the time required for the inference. This phenomenon may cause a problem of performing an abnormal function because the operation according to the inference result is not performed in time. To solve this problem, the solution proposed in this paper first reduces the computation by applying the Tucker decomposition to DNN models with big computation amount, and then, make DNN models run in parallel as much as possible in the unit of hidden layer inside the GPU. The experimental result shows that the DNN inference time decreases by up to 75.6% compared to the case before applying the proposed technique.

Recent deep learning-based face synthesis research shows the result of generating a realistic face including overall style or elements such as hair, glasses, and makeup. However, previous methods cannot create a face at a very detailed level, such as the microstructure of the skin. In this paper, to overcome this limitation, we propose a technique for synthesizing a more realistic facial image from a single face label image by controlling the types and intensity of skin microelements. The proposed technique uses Pix2PixHD, an Image-to-Image Translation method, to convert a label image showing the facial region and skin elements such as wrinkles, pores, and redness to create a facial image with added microelements. Experimental results show that it is possible to create various realistic face images reflecting fine skin elements corresponding to this by generating various label images with adjusted skin element regions.

In computer vision research, the two-dimensional human pose is a very extensive research direction, especially in pose tracking and behavior recognition, which has very important research significance. The acquisition of human pose targets, which is essentially the study of how to accurately identify human targets from pictures, is of great research significance and has been a hot research topic of great interest in recent years. Human pose recognition is used in artificial intelligence on the one hand and in daily life on the other. The excellent effect of pose recognition is mainly determined by the success rate and the accuracy of the recognition process, so it reflects the importance of human pose recognition in terms of recognition rate. In this human body gesture recognition, the human body is divided into 17 key points for labeling. Not only that but also the key points are segmented to ensure the accuracy of the labeling information. In the recognition design, use the comprehensive data set MS COCO for deep learning to design a neural network model to train a large number of samples, from simple step-by-step to efficient training, so that a good accuracy rate can be obtained.
