Deep leaning convolutional neural networks (CNN) have successfully been applied to image super-resolution (SR). Despite their great performances, SR techniques tend to focus on a certain upscale factor when training a particular model. Algorithms for single model multi-scale networks can easily be constructed if images are upscaled prior to input, but sub-pixel convolution upsampling works differently for each scale factor. Recent SR methods employ multi-scale and multi-path learning as a solution. However, this causes unshared parameters and unbalanced parameter distribution across various scale factors. We present a multi-scale single-path upsample module as a solution by exploiting the advantages of sub-pixel convolution and interpolation algorithms. The proposed model employs sub-pixel convolution for the highest scale factor among the learning upscale factors, and then utilize 1-dimension interpolation, compressing the learned features on the channel axis to match the desired output image size. Experiments are performed for the single-path upsample module, and compared to the multi-path upsample module. Based on the experimental results, the proposed algorithm reduces the upsample module's parameters by 24% and presents slightly to better performance compared to the previous algorithm.

Vision-based Human Pose Estimation has been considered as one of challenging research subjects due to problems including confounding background clutter, diversity of human appearances and illumination changes in scenes. To tackle these problems, we propose to use a new multi-stage convolution machine for estimating human pose. To provide better heatmap prediction of body joints, the proposed machine repeatedly produces multiple predictions according to stages with receptive field large enough for learning the long-range spatial relationship. And stages are composed of various modules according to their strategic purposes. Pyramid stacking module and dilation module are used to handle problem of human pose at multiple scales. Their multi-scale information from different receptive fields are fused with concatenation, which can catch more contextual information from different features. And spatial and channel information of a given input are converted to gating factors by squeezing the feature maps to a single numeric value based on its importance in order to give each of the network channels different weights. Compared with other ConvNet-based architectures, we demonstrated that our proposed architecture achieved higher accuracy on experiments using standard benchmarks of LSP and MPII pose datasets.

In the current study, we proposed an optimized brain-computer interface (BCI) which employed blind source separation (BBS) approach to remove noises. Thus motor imagery (MI) signal and steady state visual evoked potential (SSVEP) signal were easily to be detected due to enhancement in signal-to-noise ratio (SNR). Moreover, a combination between MI and SSVEP which is typically can increase the number of commands being generated in the current BCI. To reduce the computational time as well as to bring the BCI closer to real-world applications, the current system utilizes a single-channel EEG signal. In addition, a convolutional neural network (CNN) was used as the multi-class classification model. We evaluated the performance in term of accuracy between a non-BBS+BCI and BBS+BCI. Results show that the accuracy of the BBS+BCI is achieved $16.15{\pm}5.12%$ higher than that in the non-BBS+BCI by using BBS than non-used on. Overall, the proposed BCI system demonstrate a feasibility to be applied for multi-dimensional control applications with a comparable accuracy.

최근 Convolutional neural networks(CNN) 기반의 초해상화 기법인 Super-Resolution Convolutional Neural Networks (SRCNN) 이 좋은 PSNR 성능을 발휘하는 것으로 보고되었다 [1]. 하지만 많은 제안 방법들이 고주파 성분을 복원하는데 한계를 드러내는 것처럼, SRCNN 도 고주파 성분 복원에 한계점을 지니고 있다. 또한 SRCNN 의 네트워크 층을 깊게 만들면 좋은 PSNR 성능을 발휘하는 것으로 널리 알려져 있지만, 네트워크의 층을 깊게 하는 것은 네트워크 파라미터 학습을 어렵게 하는 경향이 있다. 네트워크의 층을 깊게 할 경우, gradient 값이 아래(역방향) 층으로 갈수록 발산하거나 0 으로 수렴하여, 네트워크 파라미터 학습이 제대로 되지 않는 현상이 발생하기 때문이다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 네트워크 층을 깊게 하는 대신에, 입력을 다중 채널로 구성하여, 네트워크에 고주파 성분에 관한 추가적인 정보를 주는 방법을 제안하였다. 많은 초해상화 기법들이 고주파 성분의 복원 능력이 부족하다는 점에 착안하여, 우리는 네트워크가 고주파 성분에 관한 많은 정보를 필요로 한다는 것을 가정하였다. 따라서 우리는 네트워크의 입력을 고주파 성분이 여러 가지 강도로 입력되도록 저해상도 입력 영상들을 구성하였다. 또한 잔차신호 네트워크(residual networks)를 도입하여, 네트워크 파라미터를 학습할 때 고주파 성분의 복원에 집중할 수 있도록 하였다. 본 논문의 효율성을 검증하기 위하여 set5 데이터와 set14 데이터에 관하여 실험을 진행하였고, SRCNN 과 비교하여 set5 데이터에서는 2, 3, 4 배에 관하여 각각 평균 0.29, 0.35, 0.17dB 의 PSNR 성능 향상이 있었으며, set14 데이터에서는 3 배의 관하여 평균 0.20dB 의 PSNR 성능 향상이 있었다.

Cryptanalysis can be performed by various techniques such as known plaintext attack, differential attack, side-channel analysis, and the like. Recently, many studies have been conducted on cryptanalysis using deep learning. A known-plaintext attack is a technique that uses a known plaintext and ciphertext pair to find a key. In this paper, we use deep learning technology to perform a known-plaintext attack against S-PRESENT, a reduced version of the lightweight block cipher PRESENT. This paper is significant in that it is the first known-plaintext attack based on deep learning performed on a reduced lightweight block cipher. For cryptanalysis, MLP (Multi-Layer Perceptron) and 1D and 2D CNN(Convolutional Neural Network) models are used and optimized, and the performance of the three models is compared. It showed the highest performance in 2D convolutional neural networks, but it was possible to attack only up to some key spaces. From this, it can be seen that the known-plaintext attack through the MLP model and the convolutional neural network is limited in attackable key bits.
