  • Many diverse methods have been developing in the field of biometric identification as human-friendliness has been emphasized in the intelligent system's area. One of emerging method is to use human footprint. Automated footprint-based person recognition was started by Nakajima et al.'s research but they showed relatively low recognition result by low spatial resolution of pressure sensor and standing posture. In this paper, we proposed a modified Nakajima's method to use walking footprint which could give more stable toe information than standing posture. Finally, we prove the usefulness of proposed method as 91.4tt recognition rate in 11 volunteers' test.

  • The object of this study is the introduction and the application of Ecological Footprint(EF) for sustainability of regional people activities. It is a tool for the evaluation of specific projects through various lifestyles or consumption to area of broad policy and budgets. But in Korea there is no assessment for consumption level of human activities by EF. Therefore this study try to analyse ecologically productive land for human activities of Cheju-island in order to assess the sustainability in Cheju and compares with another industrized countries. We analyze the human activities level of Cheju-island then the EF is about 0.9(ha/cap). This value is not more than another countries like Canada and United States. EF assists in choosing technologies, policies and Life Cycle Assessment(LCA) which can perform a certain task with the smallest ecological footprint. It will help society to avoid collapse and move towards sustainability and ecological efficiency.

  • Rapid increase in population growth has made the mankind to delve in appropriate identification of individuals through biometrics. Foot Print Recognition System is a new challenging area involved in the Personal recognition that is easy to capture and distinctive. Foot Print has its own dimensions, different in many ways and can be distinguished from one another. The main objective is to provide a novel efficient automated system Segmentation using Foot Print based on structural relations among the features in order to overcome the existing manual method. This system comprises of various statistical computations of various foot print parameters for identifying the factors like Instep-Foot Index, Ball-Foot Index, Heel- Index, Toe- Index etc. The input is naked footprint and the output result to an efficient segmentation system thereby leading to time complexity.

  • Gait Recognition is a new technique to identify the people by the way they walk. Human gait is a spatio-temporal phenomenon that typifies the motion characteristics of an individual. The proposed method makes a simple but efficient attempt to gait recognition. For each video file, spatial silhouettes of a walker are extracted by an improved background subtraction procedure using Gaussian Mixture Model (GMM). Here GMM is used as a parametric probability density function represented as a weighted sum of Gaussian component densities. Then, the relevant features are extracted from the silhouette tracked from the given video file using the Principal Component Analysis (PCA) method. The Fisher Linear Discriminant Analysis (FLDA) classifier is used in the classification of dimensional reduced image derived by the PCA method for gait recognition. Although gait images can be easily acquired, the gait recognition is affected by clothes, shoes, carrying status and specific physical condition of an individual. To overcome this problem, it is combined with footprint as a multimodal biometric system. The minutiae is extracted from the footprint and then fused with silhouette image using the Discrete Stationary Wavelet Transform (DSWT). The experimental result shows that the efficiency of proposed fusion algorithm works well and attains better result while comparing with other fusion schemes.

  • Globally, the demand for food and water resources are increasing rapidly with the growing concerns of meeting the projected population upsurge, specifically by 2050. The global population is projected to hit 9.8 billion in 2050 while the food demand is expected to increase by 77% from the 2007 base year. Moreover, the already scarce water resources, especially in the food-producing regions, expected to be significantly affected as food production already accounts for over 70% of the global water resources. However, the estimated food demand encapsulated the actual demand for both human consumption and animal feed in addition to the exuberant food waste at the consumption stage of the supply chain, notably in the developed countries. Managing the food consumption demand and food waste can have across-the-board benefits on water resources and other associated food production impacts. This study assessed the water-saving potentials through food waste in Korean households using the food waste data obtained from the direct weighing analysis. The household food waste collection and characterization were carried out during the summer (July), fall (September), and winter (December) seasons of 2019. The water footprint related to the food waste within Korean households was based on the water footprint concept, i.e. indirect water use. The results of our estimation showed that an average Korean household wasted 6.15 ± 4.36 kg daily, amounting to 12.53 ± 11.10 m3 of water resources associated with the waste. On the per capita basis, an average of 0.024 ± 0.017 kg/capita/day of food was wasted resulting to 0.049 ± 0.044 m3/capital/day of water resources wasted. The food waste types that accounted for the principal share in the water footprint were beef, soybean, rice and pork with values 30.7, 10.1, 9.6, and 7.5%, respectively. Considering that the production of meat and meat products are water intensive and the agricultural water use in Korea is largely for rice production, addressing the food waste of these two important agricultural products can be a hotspot for water saving potential in the country. This study therefore provides an insight to addressing the water scarcity in the country through reducing household food waste.

  • The residential population of Jeju Island has increased more than 10% for last 10 years. Especially, the tourist population is more than twice comparing to 2005. The population growth of Jeju has brought about large-scale urban development and increased land demands for tourism services. The goal of this study is to analyze the human, social, and environmental status of Jeju Island and to evaluate the environmental capacity of land use using ecological footprint (EF) model. This study shows the changes in ecological deficits of Jeju Island through estimating ecological productive land (EPL) considering EF from 2005 to 2015. The categories of total EF consists of food land, built-up land, forestry, and energy consumption. In order to reflect the characteristics of resort island, we consider not only residential population but also tourist population who can increase land demands. The outputs of this study also provide the potential excess demands of EPL and suggest needs of sustainable management plans for the limited land of Jeju Island.

  • 예로부터 전설과 설화는 신성함과 주술적 의미, 상상력이 가미된 교훈적 의미를 담아 구전되어 온 것으로, 창녕의 '문호장 발자국'은 국내 여러 지역에서 전해지는 다수의 사람·동물 관련 설화 중 주인공이 남긴 실체(발자국)가 공룡발자국으로 확인된 첫 사례이다. 본 연구에서는 '문호장 발자국'에 대한 지질학적 기초자료 수집/분포도 작성, 3차원 디지털 기록화/시각화를 바탕으로 한 과학적 분석과 더불어, 설화·전설 속 발자국 사례 분석에 따른 인문학적 고찰을 시도하였다. 중생대 초식공룡(용각류)이 남긴 보행렬(총 13개의 발자국으로 구성)이 앞·뒷발자국의 형태와 보존 상태로 인해, 옛사람들에게 자연암반에 찍힌 사람발자국으로 인지되었음을 밝힘으로써, 초자연적인 존재에 대한 두려움, 과학적 해석의 한계가 분명했던 당시 사회상과 설화적 인식을 유추할 수 있다. 더불어 전설로 세대를 잇고, 매년 제사와 굿으로 마을의 평안과 안녕을 기원하는 대상의 실제적 증거로서, 보존·관리되어 온 '문호장 발자국'의 과학적·인문학적 탐색을 통해, 전통문화와 자연유산이 어우러져 서로의 가치를 높일 수 있을 것으로 기대한다.

  • 국내의 수많은 화석산지 중 20곳이 국가지정문화재 천연기념물로 지정되어 보호 및 보존되고 있다. 천연기념물 화석산지 중 많은 지역이 인위적인 훼손과 함께 자연적 풍화 침식이 활발한 해안가에 위치하여 훼손이 진행되어 점차 원형을 잃어가고 있다. 따라서 이들에 대한 원형 보존 및 원형 기록 자료의 확보가 시급히 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 천연기념물 제394호 해남 우항리 공룡 익룡 새 발자국 화석산지에 대한 항구적인 원형 기록 자료의 확보를 위하여 3차원 디지털 기술을 적용하였다. 이를 통해 이 지역의 2개 지점에 대한 정밀 기록 작업을 완료하였고, 정확도가 높은 분포도를 작성하였으며, 앰비언트 어클루젼(Ambient occlusion) 렌더링 기법에 의한 렌더링 기법을 적용하여 발자국 화석에 대한 보다 정확한 분석자료를 확보하였다. 발자국 화석에 대한 3D 데이터는 보존과 연구 자료로서의 가치 이외에도 3차원 브로셔와 인터랙티브 컨텐츠 제작 등의 다양한 분야에 활용 가능한 콘텐츠로서의 가치를 지닌다.

  • 본 연구는 대구광역권을 대상으로 생태적발자국(Ecological Footprint: EF) 지수 분석을 통해 도시의 환경용량을 산정하고 생태계의 용역가치를 평가하여 우리의 소비패턴이 생태계에 미치는 영향을 분석하고자 한다. 이를 위해 1997년, 2002년, 2007년의 각 도시별 통계연보를 통해 데이터를 수집하였으며, 2007년 토지지목별 평균공시지가를 생태계용역가치(Ecosystem Service Value: ESV) 평가에 활용하였다. 도시별 총 EF지수 분석 결과를 살펴보면, 2007년 고령군의 EF지수가 3.3052gha로 가장 높게 나타났으며 반면, 대구시는 2.0134gha로 가장 적은 면적으로 소비하는 것으로 평가되었다. 다음으로 생태적자 분석 결과, 2007년 군위군을 제외한 7개 도시가 생태적자 상태로 분석되어 도시의 환경용량을 초과하는 것으로 평가되었다. 특히, 대구광역시가 현재의 소비구조로 지속하기 위해서는 약 30배 이상의 추가적인 면적이 필요한 것으로 분석되었다. 한편, 대구광역시를 기준으로 ESV 평가 결과를 살펴보면, 대구광역시민은 연간 1인당 1,078.6백만 원을 생태계에 빚지고 있는 것으로 분석되었다.
