Viewpoint-dependent feature-based modelling in computer-aided design is developed for the purposes of supporting engineering design representation and automation. The approach of this paper uses a combination of a multi-level modelling approach. This has two stages of mapping between models, and the multi-level model approach is implemented in three-level architecture. Top of this level is a feature-based description for each viewpoint, comprising a combination of form features and other features such as loads and constraints for analysis. The middle level is an executable representation of the feature model. The bottom of this multi-level modelling is a evaluation of a feature-based CAD model obtained by executable feature representations defined in the middle level. The mappings involved in the system comprise firstly, mapping between the top level feature representations associated with different viewpoints, for example for the geometric simplification and addition of boundary conditions associated with moving from a design model to an analysis model, and secondly mapping between the top level and the middle level representations in which the feature model is transformed into the executable representation. Because an executable representation is used as the intermediate layer, the low level evaluation can be active. The example will be implemented with an analysis model which is evaluated and for which results are output. This multi-level modelling approach will be investigated within the framework aimed for the design automation with a feature-based model.

In this paper, we proposed a two-level feature vector fusion technique to improve the performance of target classification. The proposed method combines feature vectors of the early-time region and late-time region in the first-level fusion. In the second-level fusion, we combine the monostatic and bistatic features obtained in the first level. The radar cross section (RCS) of the 3D full-scale model is obtained using the electromagnetic analysis tool FEKO, and then, the feature vector of the target is extracted from it. The feature vector based on the waveform structure is used as the feature vector of the early-time region, while the resonance frequency extracted using the evolutionary programming-based CLEAN algorithm is used as the feature vector of the late-time region. The study results show that the two-level fusion method is better than the one-level fusion method.

In fine-tuning-based transfer learning, the size of the dataset may affect learning accuracy. When a dataset scale is small, fine-tuning-based transfer-learning methods use high computing costs, similar to a large-scale dataset. We propose a mid-level feature extractor that retrains only the mid-level convolutional layers, resulting in increased efficiency and reduced computing costs. This mid-level feature extractor is likely to provide an effective alternative in training a small-scale medical image dataset. The performance of the mid-level feature extractor is compared with the performance of low- and high-level feature extractors, as well as the fine-tuning method. First, the mid-level feature extractor takes a shorter time to converge than other methods do. Second, it shows good accuracy in validation loss evaluation. Third, it obtains an area under the ROC curve (AUC) of 0.87 in an untrained test dataset that is very different from the training dataset. Fourth, it extracts more clear feature maps about shape and part of the chest in the X-ray than fine-tuning method.

Road damage detection is important for road maintenance. With the development of deep learning, more and more road damage detection methods have been proposed, such as Fast R-CNN, Faster R-CNN, Mask R-CNN and RetinaNet. However, because shallow and deep layers cannot be extracted at the same time, the existing methods do not perform well in detecting objects with fewer samples. In addition, these methods cannot obtain a highly accurate detecting bounding box. This paper presents a Multi-level Feature Pyramids method based on M2det. Because the feature layer has multi-scale and multi-level architecture, the feature layer containing more information and obvious features can be extracted. Moreover, an attention mechanism is used to improve the accuracy of local boundary boxes in the dataset. Experimental results show that the proposed method is better than the current state-of-the-art methods.

Features are generic shapes with which engineers associate certain attributes and knowledge useful in reasoning about the product. Feature-based modeling systems support additional levels of information beyond those available in geometric modelers. The objective of this study is to develop a PC level feature-based modeling system which explicitly represents dimensions of the part. The feature-based modeler retains all the benefits of traditional B-rep. solid models, and represents the dimensions at a high level of a abstraction so that dimension driven geometry can be achieved.

생체 인식은 사람의 생체적, 행동적 특징 정보를 특정 장치로 추출하여 본인 여부를 판별하는 기술이다. 생체 인식 분야에서 생체 특성 위조, 복제, 해킹 등 사이버 위협이 증가하고 있다. 이에 대응하여 보안 시스템이 강화되고 복잡해지며, 개인이 사용하기 어려워지고 있다. 이를 위해 다중 생체 인식 모델이 연구되고 있다. 기존 연구들은 특징 융합 방법을 제시하고 있으나, 특징 융합 방법 간의 비교는 부족하다. 이에 본 논문에서는 지문, 얼굴, 홍채 영상을 이용한 다중 생체 인식 모델의 융합 방법을 비교 평가했다. 특징 추출을 위해VGG-16, ResNet-50, EfficientNet-B1, EfficientNet-B4, EfficientNet-B7, Inception-v3를 사용했으며, 특성융합을 위해 'Sensor-Level', 'Feature-Level', 'Score-Level', 'Rank-Level' 융합 방법을 비교 평가했다. 비교평가결과 'Feature-Level' 융합 방법에서 EfficientNet-B7 모델이 98.51%의 정확도를 보이며 높은 안정성을 보였다. 그러나 EfficietnNet-B7모델의 크기가 크기 때문에 생체 특성 융합을 위한 모델 경량화 연구가 필요하다.

We present a novel active contour-based two-pass approach to extract smooth feature regions from a triangular mesh. In the first pass, an active contour formulated in level-set surfaces is devised to extract feature regions with rough boundaries. In the second pass, the rough boundary curve is smoothed by minimizing internal energy, which is derived from its curvature. The separation of the extraction and smoothing process enables us to extract feature regions with smooth boundaries from a triangular mesh without user's initial model. Furthermore, smooth feature curves can also be obtained by skeletonizing the smooth feature regions. We tested our algorithm on facial models and proved its excellence.

Recently, the requirements of multi-resolution models of a solid model, which represent an object at multiple levels of feature detail, are increasing for engineering tasks such as analysis, network-based collaborative design, and virtual prototyping and manufacturing. The research on this area has focused on several topics: topological frameworks for representing multi-resolution solid models, criteria for the level of detail (LOD), and generation of valid models after rearrangement of features. As a solution to the feature rearrangement problem, the new concept of the effective zone of a feature is introduced in the former part of the paper. In this paper, we propose a feature-based non-manifold modeling system to provide multi-resolution models of a feature-based solid or non-manifold model on the basis of the effective feature zones. To facilitate the implementation, we introduce the class of the multi-resolution feature whose attributes contain all necessary information to build a multi-resolution solid model and extract LOD models from it. In addition, two methods are introduced to accelerate the extraction of LOD models from the multi-resolution modeling database: the one is using an NMT model, known as a merged set, to represent multi-resolution models, and the other is storing differences between adjacent LOD models to accelerate the transition to the other LOD. We also suggest the volume of the feature, regardless of feature type, as a criterion for the LOD. This criterion can be used in a wide range of applications, since there is no distinction between additive and subtractive features unlike the previous method.

본 논문에서는 증강 현실 환경에서 실시간 마커리스 트래킹을 수행하기 위한 특징 서술자 데이터베이스 생성 및 검색 방법을 제안한다. 먼저, 특징 서술자를 효율적으로 검색하기 위하여 특징 서술자의 형태를 기준으로 정수 부호화 하여 총 4 단계의 인덱스 데이터베이스를 구성한다. 특정 특징 서술자의 검색은 데이터베이스에서 각 단계별로 유사성 있는 후보 특징 서술자의 인덱스를 탐색하고 입력된 특징 서술자와 탐색된 모든 후보 특징 서술자들의 유클리드 거리 값 비교를 통해 이루어진다. 본 연구에서 제안한 검색방법은 형태를 기반으로 유사하지 않은 특징 서술자들을 검색 대상에서 제외하여 검색의 효율을 높였다. 제안된 방법은 기존 KD-Tree 방법에 비해서 특징 서술자당 약 16ms의 검색 속도 개선이 있었음을 확인할 수 있었다.
