Existing image search systems allow users to search images by keywords, or by example images through content-based image retrieval (CBIR). On the other hand, users might learn more relevant textual information about an image from its text captions or surrounding contexts within documents or Web pages. Without such contexts, it's difficult to extract semantic description directly from the image content. In this paper, we propose an annotation watermarking system for users to embed text descriptions, and retrieve more relevant textual information from similar images. First, tags associated with an image are converted by two-dimensional code and embedded into the image by discrete wavelet transform (DWT). Next, for images without annotations, similar images can be obtained by CBIR techniques and embedded annotations can be extracted. Specifically, we use global features such as color ratios and dominant sub-image colors for preliminary filtering. Then, local features such as Scale-Invariant Feature Transform (SIFT) descriptors are extracted for similarity matching. This design can achieve good effectiveness with reasonable processing time in practical systems. Our experimental results showed good accuracy in retrieving similar images and extracting relevant tags from similar images.

The purpose of this study is to propose a W3C standard, DCAT, to manage and service dataset that is becoming increasingly important as new knowledge information resources. To do this, we first analyzed the class and properties of the four core classes of DCAT. In addition, I modeled and presented a system that can manage and service various data sets based on DCAT in digital library. The system is divided into source data, data set management, linked data connection, and user service. Especially, the DCAT mapping function is suggested in dataset management. This feature can ensure interoperability of various datasets.

본 논문은 오디오 특징 분석을 기반으로 한 음악검색 방법에 대한 기술과 연구에 대한 내용이다. 본 연구에서는 크게 3가지의 주요 알고리즘을 이용하여 다 성음에서의 오디오 특징을 추출하고 3가지의 각자 다른 방식의 매칭 알고리즘을 기반으로 한 퓨전 매칭 방식을 제안한다. 오디오 특징으로는 메인 멜로디, 음악 구조를 분석한 세그먼테이션 정보를 이용한다. 본 연구에서 사용된 음악 DB는 음악 포털 서비스에서 제공하는 장르를 기반으로 한 8가지 장르에서 다양한 범위에서 2000곡을 선곡하였다. 오디오 특징 추출을 위한 알고리즘 개발과 매칭 알고리즘 개발을 위하여 음악 DB 2000곡 중 장르의 비율을 고려하여 100곡을 선정하고, 24명으로부터 1200개의 허밍을 녹음하였다. 24명중 3명은 대학에서 음악을 전공하고 나머지는 음악적 교육을 받은 경험이 없는 사람들이다. 1200개의 허밍을 분석한 결과 전체 허밍 중 60%정도가 노래의 시작 부분을 허밍하거나 노래를 불렀고, 30%정도는 하이라이트 부분을 허밍 하였다. 나머지 10%정도는 자신이 가장 자신 있는 부분을 불렀다. 이러한 분석 결과를 기반으로 가장 중요한 부분은 노래가 시작되는 부분에서의 멜로디를 정확하게 찾아내는 것이 무엇보다 중요하다는 것이다. 본 연구에서 검색결과의 평가는 MRR를 이용하여 측정하였다. MIDI DB를 사용한 경우가 다 성음에서 직접 멜로디를 추출한 경우보다 약간 성능이 우수하게 나왔으나 그 차이는 미미했다. 본 연구에서는 개발된 알고리즘을 이용하여 PC상에서 사용할 수 있는 클라이언트 프로그램과 Android app를 개발하였다.

Due to popularization of the wireless Internet and mobile devices the infrastructure of the ubiquitous environment, where users can get information whatever they want anytime and anywhere, is created. Therefore, a variety of fields including the education studies methods for efficiency of information transmission using on-line and off-line contents. In this paper, we propose the Mixed Mobile Education system(MME) that improves educational efficiency using on-line and off-line contents on mobile devices. Because it is hard to input new data and cannot use similar off-line contents in systems used additional tags, the proposed system does not use additional tags but recognizes of-line contents as we extract feature points in the input image using the mobile camera. We use the Scale Invariant Feature Transform(SIFT) algorithm to extract feature points which are not affected by noise, color distortion, size and rotation in the input image captured by the low resolution camera. And we use the client-server architecture for solving the limited storage size of the mobile devices and for easily registration and modification of data. Experimental results show that compared with previous work, the proposed system has some advantages and disadvantages and that the proposed system has good efficiency on various environments.

Because the estimated cost at early stage has great influence on decisions of project owner, the importance of early cost estimation is increasing. However, it depends on experience and knowledge of the estimator mainly due to shortage of information. Those tendency developed into case-based reasoning(CBR) method which solves new problems by adapting previous solution to similar past problems. The performance of CBR model is affected by attribute weight, so that its accurate determination is necessary. Previous research utilizes mathematical method or subjective judgement of estimator. In order to improve the problem of previous research, this suggests CBR schematic cost estimation method using genetic algorithm to determine attribute weight. The cost model employs nearest neighbor retrieval for selecting past case. And it estimates the cost of new cases based on cost information of extracted cases. As the result of validation for 17 testing cases, 3.57% of error rate is calculated. This rate is superior to accuracy rate proposed by AACE and the method to determine attribute weight using multiple regression analysis and feature counting. The CBR cost estimation method improve the accuracy by introducing genetic algorithm for attribute weight. Moreover, this makes user understand the problem-solving process easier than other artificial intelligence method, and find solution within short time through case retrieval algorithm.

So far, many researches have been done to retrieve music information using static classification descriptors such as genre and mood. Since static classification descriptors are based on diverse content-based musical features, they are effective in retrieving similar music in terms of such features. However, human emotion or mood transition triggered by music enables more effective and sophisticated query in music retrieval. So far, few works have been done to evaluate the effect of human mood transition by music. Using formal representation of such mood transitions, we can provide personalized service more effectively in the new applications such as music recommendation. In this paper, we first propose our Emotion State Transition Model (ESTM) for describing human mood transition by music and then describe a music classification and recommendation scheme based on the ESTM. In the experiment, diverse content-based features were extracted from music clips, dimensionally reduced by NMF (Non-negative Matrix Factorization, and classified by SVM (Support Vector Machine). In the performance analysis, we achieved average accuracy 67.54% and maximum accuracy 87.78%.

In this paper, we propose the comparison method of pattern similarity for video segmentation algorithm. The shot boundary type is categorized as 2 types, abrupt change and gradual change. The representative examples of gradual change are dissolve, fade-in, fade-out or wipe transition. The proposed method consider the problem to detect shot boundary as 2-class problem. We concentrated if the shot boundary event happens or not. It is essential to define similarity between frames for shot boundary detection. We proposed 2 similarity measures, within similarity and between similarity. The within similarity is defined by feature comparison between frames belong to same shot. The between similarity is defined by feature comparison between frames belong to different scene. Finally we calculated the statistical patterns comparison between the within similarity and between similarity. Because this measure is robust to flash light or object movement, our proposed algorithm make contribution towards reducing false positive rate. We employed color histogram and mean of sub-block on frame image as frame feature. We performed the experimental evaluation with video dataset including set of TREC-2001 and TREC-2002. The proposed algorithm shows the performance, 91.84% recall and 86.43% precision in experimental circumstance.

A name is a key feature for distinguishing people, but we often fail to discriminate people because an author may have multiple names or multiple authors may share the same name. Such name ambiguity problems affect the performance of document retrieval, web search and database integration. Especially, in bibliography information, a number of errors may be included since there are different authors with the same name or an author name may be misspelled or represented with an abbreviation. For solving these problems, it is necessary to disambiguate the names inputted into the database. In this paper, we propose a method to solve the name ambiguity by using social networks constructed based on the relations between authors. We evaluated the effectiveness of the proposed system based on DBLP data that offer computer science bibliographic information.

Recently, Web applications, such as Stock Image and Image Library, are developed to provide the integrated management for user's images. Image hash techniques are used for the image registration, management and retrieval as the identifier and many researches have been performed to raise the hash performance. This paper proposes GLOCAL image hashing method utilizing the hierarchical histogram which based on histogram bin population method. So far, many researches have proven that image hashing techniques based on histogram are robust image processing and geometrical attack. We modified existing image hashing method developed by our research team. The main idea is that it makes more fluent hash string if we have histogram bin of specific length as shown in the body of paper. Finally, we can raise the magnitude of hash string within same context or feature and strengthen the robustness of hash.

This study aims to evaluate how efficiently time-worn building could be managed by using GPS-based video-logging systems. The digitally georeferencing video data taken by a hand-hold GPS-based video-logging system allows quick retrieval and effective management for the complicate and various superannuated building in urban area. The results of the study are as follows. Georeferencing data are possible to trace observed positions by using GPS linked with video and to provide building crack information anytime that could be used to inspect and analyze the safety hazard diagnosis of buildings. Building crack information were measured by the proposed method that is merged with feature tracking and image mosaic of sequenced images. From the study, it reveals that the georeferencing video technique provides more realistic and reliable information in safety diagnosis and it can also be used as the essential and modern tool in urban building management.
