Recently, research on detecting objects in hidden spaces beyond the direct line-of-sight of observers has received attention. Most studies use optical equipment that utilizes the directional of light, but sound that has both diffraction and directional is also suitable for non-line-of-sight(NLOS) research. In this paper, we propose a novel method of detecting objects in non-line-of-sight (NLOS) areas using acoustic signals in the audible frequency range. We developed a deep learning model that extracts information from the NLOS area by inputting only acoustic signals and predicts the properties and location of hidden objects. Additionally, for the training and evaluation of the deep learning model, we collected data by varying the signal transmission and reception location for a total of 11 objects. We show that the deep learning model demonstrates outstanding performance in detecting objects in the NLOS area using acoustic signals. We observed that the performance decreases as the distance between the signal collection location and the reflecting wall, and the performance improves through the combination of signals collected from multiple locations. Finally, we propose the optimal conditions for detecting objects in the NLOS area using acoustic signals.

Online or sequential learning is one of the most basic and powerful method to train neuron network, and it has been widely used in disease detection, weather prediction and other realistic classification problem. At present, there are many algorithms in this area, such as MRAN, GAP-RBFN, OS-ELM, SVM and SMC-RBF. Among them, SMC-RBF has the best performance; it has less number of hidden neurons, and best efficiency. However, all the existing algorithms use signal normal distribution as kernel function, which means the output of the kernel function is same at the different direction. In this paper, we use multi-variable normal distribution as kernel function, and derive EKF learning formulas for multi-variable normal distribution kernel function. From the result of the experience, we can deduct that the proposed method has better efficiency performance, and not sensitive to the data sequence.

Structural health monitoring along with damage detection and assessment of its severity level in non-accessible reinforced concrete members using piezoelectric materials becomes essential since engineers often face the problem of detecting hidden damage. In this study, the potential of the detection of flexural damage state in the lower part of the mid-span area of a simply supported reinforced concrete beam using piezoelectric sensors is analytically investigated. Two common severity levels of flexural damage are examined: (i) cracking of concrete that extends from the external lower fiber of concrete up to the steel reinforcement and (ii) yielding of reinforcing bars that occurs for higher levels of bending moment and after the flexural cracking. The purpose of this investigation is to apply finite element modeling using admittance based signature data to analyze its accuracy and to check the potential use of this technique to monitor structural damage in real-time. It has been indicated that damage detection capability greatly depends on the frequency selection rather than on the level of the harmonic excitation loading. This way, the excitation loading sequence can have a level low enough that the technique may be considered as applicable and effective for real structures. Further, it is concluded that the closest applied piezoelectric sensor to the flexural damage demonstrates higher overall sensitivity to structural damage in the entire frequency band for both damage states with respect to the other used sensors. However, the observed sensitivity of the other sensors becomes comparatively high in the peak values of the root mean square deviation index.

This paper proposes an encryption web transaction attack detection system based on the existing web application monitoring system. Although there was difficulty in detecting attacks on the encrypted web traffic because the existing web traffic security systems detect and defend attacks based on encrypted packets in the network area of the encryption section between the client and server, by utilizing the technology of the web application monitoring system, it is possible to detect various intelligent cyber-attacks based on information that is already decrypted in the memory of the web application server. In addition, since user identification is possible through the application session ID, statistical detection of attacks such as IP tampering attacks, mass web transaction call users, and DDoS attacks are also possible. Thus, it can be considered that it is possible to respond to various intelligent cyber attacks hidden in the encrypted traffic by collecting and detecting information in the non-encrypted section of the encrypted web traffic.

Since the face in image content corresponds to individual information that can distinguish a specific person from other people, it is important to accurately detect faces not hidden in an image. In this paper, we propose a method to accurately detect a face from input images using a deep learning algorithm, which is one of the machine learning methods. In the proposed method, image input via the red-green-blue (RGB) color model is first changed to the luminance-chroma: blue-chroma: red-chroma ($YC_bC_r$) color model; then, other regions are removed using the learned skin color model, and only the skin regions are segmented. A CNN model-based deep learning algorithm is then applied to robustly detect only the face region from the input image. Experimental results show that the proposed method more efficiently segments facial regions from input images. The proposed face area-detection method is expected to be useful in practical applications related to multimedia and shape recognition.

This paper proposes an intelligent surveillance system to recognize suspicious patterns of the human behavior by using the Hidden Markov Model. First, the method finds foot area of the human by motion detection algorithm from image sequence of the surveillance camera. Then, these foot locus form observation series of features to learn the HMM. The feature that is position of the human foot is changed to each code that corresponds to a specific label among 16 local partitions of image region. Therefore, specific moving patterns formed by the foot locus are the series of the label numbers. The Baum-Welch algorithm of the HMM learns each suspicious and specific pattern to classify the human behaviors. To recognize the inputted human behavior pattern in a test image, the probabilistic comparison between the learned pattern of the HMM and foot series to be tested decides the categorization of the test pattern. The experimental results show that the method can be applied to detect a suspicious person prowling in corridor.

Digital image watermarking is a technique for the purpose of protecting the ownership of the image by embedding proprietary watermarks in a digital image. It is required for the digital image watermarking scheme to pursue the robustness against water marking attacks and the perceptual Invisibility more than usual in steganography area, to guarantee not a hidden watermarking algorithm but the publicity of water-marking algorithm details and hidden use of key, which can protect the unauthorized user access from detection. In this paper we propose a new copyright watermarking scheme, which is barred on one-way hash functions using ElGamal functions and modular operations. ElGamal functions are widely used in cryptographic systems. Our watermarking scheme is robust against LSB(least significant bit) attacks and gamma correction attack, and also perceptually invisible. We demonstrate the characteristics of our proposed watermarking scheme through experiments. It is necessary to proceed as the future work the algorithm of achieving at the same time both the pseudo-randomness for the steno-key generation and the asymmetric-key generation.

In the modern UAV systems, the role of radar payload has been increasing with its unique performance of day-and-night operation and see-through capability over hidden obstacles. Contrary to the satellite reconnaissance, UAV is expected to provide high resolution target detection and recognition capability while frequent flight missions would deliver enhanced SAR image and local information over the target area. STK(Satellite Tool Kit) is a professional space-analysis software widely used in all phases of a space system's life cycle. The simulation of STK is efficient and accurate relatively. In this paper, the author attempt to model the UAV operation and measure the expected SAR image quality. STK(Satellite Tool Kit) is employed to analyze UAV operation and produce SAR raw data. A SAR simulator is developed to produce high resolution SAR image for various ground targets.

Content-adaptive steganography methods embed secret messages in hard-to-model regions of covers such as complicated texture or noisy area. Content-adaptive steganalysis methods often need high dimensional features to capture more subtle relationships of local dependencies among adjacent pixels. However, these methods require many computational complexity and depend on the location of hidden message and the exploited distortion metrics. In this paper, we propose an improved steganalysis method for content-adaptive steganography to enhance detection rate with small number features. We first show that the features form the difference between DCT coefficients are useful for analyzing the content-adaptive steganography methods, and present feature extraction mehtod using first-order Markov probability for the the difference between DCT coefficients. The extracted features are used as input of ensemble classifier. Experimental results show that the proposed method outperforms previous schemes in terms of detection rates and accuracy in spite of a small number features in various content-adaptive stego images.

In this paper, we propose a vision and depth information based real-time hand gesture interface method using finger joint estimation. For this, the areas of left and right hands are segmented after mapping of the visual image and depth information image, and labeling and boundary noise removal is performed. Then, the centroid point and rotation angle of each hand area are calculated. Afterwards, a circle is expanded at following pattern from a centroid point of the hand to detect joint points and end points of the finger by obtaining the midway points of the hand boundary crossing and the hand model is recognized. Experimental results that our method enabled fingertip distinction and recognized various hand gestures fast and accurately. As a result of the experiment on various hand poses with the hidden fingers using both hands, the accuracy showed over 90% and the performance indicated over 25 fps. The proposed method can be used as a without contacts input interface in HCI control, education, and game applications.
