We propose a welfare interface using multiple fecial features tracking, which can efficiently implement various mouse operations. The proposed system consist of five modules: face detection, eye detection, mouth detection, facial feature tracking, and mouse control. The facial region is first obtained using skin-color model and connected-component analysis(CCs). Thereafter the eye regions are localized using neutral network(NN)-based texture classifier that discriminates the facial region into eye class and non-eye class, and then mouth region is localized using edge detector. Once eye and mouth regions are localized they are continuously and correctly tracking by mean-shift algorithm and template matching, respectively. Based on the tracking results, mouse operations such as movement or click are implemented. To assess the validity of the proposed system, it was applied to the interface system for web browser and was tested on a group of 25 users. The results show that our system have the accuracy of 99% and process more than 21 frame/sec on PC for the $320{\times}240$ size input image, as such it can supply a user-friendly and convenient access to a computer in real-time operation.

도시 내 하천 친수공간은 레저 및 여가를 위한 공간과 더불어 자연경관 및 생태체험 등의 다목적으로 활용되어 지역사회에 있어 중요한 공간으로 활용되고 있다. 과거 4대강 사업으로 국가하천 내 휴식공간을 조성하였다. 그 후 친수지구 중에서 이용도가 저조한 곳을 해제하였으며, 현재 297개의 친수지구를 중점으로 관리하고 있다. 이러한 친수지구를 유지하는데 필요한 보수 비용들을 지자체에서 담당하고 있으나, 상당한 비용이 소요되므로 친수지구 지정 후 운영단계에서 지역 주민들의 특성 및 요구를 정확히 파악할 필요가 있다. 하천 친수공간에 대한 정보구축은 조사원 조사, 유지관리 기관 조사 등 인적 조사 방식을 통한 데이터 수집으로 많은 비용이 필요할 뿐만아니라 DB 갱신 부분에도 한계가 있다. 그러므로 본 연구에서는 RS/GIS를 기반으로 친수시설에 대한 정보맵 작성 방안 연구와 친수시설 뿐만 아니라 유역조사 시 하천공간에서 수행할 수 있는 기술에 대한 연구를 수행하였다. 연구대상지역은 대저생태공원과 삼락생태공원을 대상으로 선정하였다. 해당 지역 항공영상의 정합 및 전처리를 실시한 후 QGIS를 활용하여 LSMS(Large-Scale Mean Shift) 기법으로 시설물 분류를 실시하였다. 공원 내 친수시설 분류를 위해 공간 반경(Spatial radius)를 10 ~ 25까지 변화시키면서 최적 분류 결과를 도출하는 공간 반경을 찾았으며 친수시설 규모와 시설의 특성에 따라 공간 반경을 조절하여 친수시설 분류맵을 작성하였다. 친수지구 내 친수시설 분류맵과 친수지구 내 친수시설 현황 및 친수시설별 코드와, 위치정보(위도, 경도 및 표고), 면적 및 관리현황으로 분류하여 입력 할 수 있도록 하였다. 본 연구에서 구축한 친수시설 자동분류 알고리즘을 통해 전국 단위 통합 하천관리체계 구축 및 친수시설에 대한 정보맵을 작성할 수 있는 기반 마련이 가능할 것이다.

A lot of lipreading system has been proposed to compensate the rate of speech recognition dropped in a noisy environment. Previous lipreading systems work on some specific conditions such as artificial lighting and predefined background color. In this paper, we propose a real-time lipreading system which allows the motion of a speaker and relaxes the restriction on the condition for color and lighting. The proposed system extracts face and lip region from input video sequence captured with a common PC camera and essential visual information in real-time. It recognizes utterance words by using the visual information in real-time. It uses the hue histogram model to extract face and lip region. It uses mean shift algorithm to track the face of a moving speaker. It uses PCA(Principal Component Analysis) to extract the visual information for learning and testing. Also, it uses HMM(Hidden Markov Model) as a recognition algorithm. The experimental results show that our system could get the recognition rate of 90% in case of speaker dependent lipreading and increase the rate of speech recognition up to 40～85% according to the noise level when it is combined with audio speech recognition.

Global satellite observation surface albedo data over a long period of time are actively used to monitor changes in the global climate and environment, and their utilization and importance are great. Through the generational shift of geostationary satellites COMS (Communication, Ocean and Meteorological Satellite)/MI (Meteorological Imager sensor) and GK-2A (GEO-KOMPSAT-2A)/AMI (Advanced Meteorological Imager sensor), it is possible to continuously secure surface albedo outputs. However, the surface albedo outputs of COMS/MI and GK-2A/AMI differ between outputs due to Differences in retrieval algorithms. Therefore, in order to expand the retrieval period of the surface albedo of COMS/MI and GK-2A/AMI to secure continuous climate change monitoring linkage, the analysis of the two satellite outputs and errors should be preceded. In this study, error characteristics were analyzed by performing comparative analysis with ground observation data AERONET (Aerosol Robotic Network) and other satellite data GLASS (Global Land Surface Satellite) for the overlapping period of COMS/MI and GK-2A/AMI surface albedo data. As a result of error analysis, it was confirmed that the RMSE of COMS/MI was 0.043, higher than the RMSE of GK-2A/AMI, 0.015. In addition, compared to other satellite (GLASS) data, the RMSE of COMS/MI was 0.029, slightly lower than that of GK-2A/AMI 0.038. When understanding these error characteristics and using COMS/MI and GK-2A/AMI's surface albedo data, it will be possible to actively utilize them for long-term climate change monitoring.
