기존의 물체추적기법은 템플릿 매칭, 물체의 경계선 재 검출, 물체의 움직임 정보 등을 사용하여 수행되었다. 그러나, 템플릿 매칭의 경우 많은 계산 시간을 요구하고, 경계선을 재 검출하는 경우 윤곽선이 잘못 설정되는 경우가 있으며, 물체의 움직임 정보를 사용하는 경우에는 움직이는 카메라에서 움직이는 물체만을 추적하기가 쉽지 않은 단점이 있다. 본 논문에서는 투영된 모션과 히스토그램 인터섹션을 이용한 강건한 물체추적 방법을 제안한다. 초기 객체추출은 영상분할 후 영역선택을 통하여 구성하고 선택된 객체를 가로 및 세로의 밝기 값을 1차원 신호로 투영하여 객체의 개략적인 평행이동 벡터를 추정한다. 추정된 변위를 기준으로 하여 객체의 가능한 회전 및 스케일에 대한 템플릿을 구성하고, 이들에 대하여 개선된 히스토그램 인터섹션을 사용하여 물체 추적을 수행한다. 제안한 알고리즘의 강건한 물체추적 성능을 실험에 의하여 확인하였다.

Purpose - This study quantifies sources of trade balance dynamics over the business cycle in Korea. Specifically, we quantify the relative importance of domestic and foreign factors on trade balance dynamics using a small open economy real business cycle (SOE-RBC) model and provide policy implications for stabilization policies. Aggregate productivity and interest rate spreads are considered domestic factors affecting the trade balance. A world interest rate (the U.S. interest rate) is considered a foreign factor. Design/methodology - Following Neumeyer and Perri (2005), we build the SOE-RBC model with three types of shocks: aggregate productivity, interest rate spread, and world interest shocks. The model is estimated by the generalized method of moments (GMM) using relevant business cycle statistics. The estimated model is used for quantifying the relative importance of domestic and foreign factors on trade balance dynamics in Korea. Findings - Our main findings can be summarized as follows: 85.64% of the trade balance fluctuations in Korea are explained by domestic factors, the remaining 14.35% by foreign factors. Particularly, trade balance dynamics are mostly accounted for by the change in aggregate productivity shocks (85.58%). World interest rate shocks considerably explain trade balance (14.35%), whereas the role of interest rate spread shocks that represent domestic risks is limited (0.08%). Although aggregate productivity is key in explaining trade balance dynamics in Korea, interest rates still have an essential role. This is because aggregate productivity changes induce interest rate spread variations and, thus, the trade balance significantly. The results suggest that government policies mitigating fluctuations in aggregate productivity would be effective for stabilization policies in Korea by reducing the trade balance volatility. Originality/value - Existing studies on the emerging market business cycle examine mostly Latin American countries, and the main object of the studies is the volatility of consumption rather than trade balance dynamics. Conversely, our study examines Korea rather than Latin American countries. Additionally, we examine sources of trade balance dynamics, which are relatively more important in Korea, rather than those of the volatility of consumption. Hence, we estimate the model to explicitly match moments related to trade balance in the data.

New realities of social relations are changing the understanding of certain phenomena, including the emergence of new concepts among the objects of property rights, such as: virtual assets, and the circulation of virtual assets. The rapid development of the virtual assets market involves the legislative consolidation of the status of such assets, changes in taxation, their circulation, and so on. These circumstances increase the interest in the study of virtual assets as the latest object of property rights and necessitate the study of this topic. The work aims to explore the theoretical developments and regulations on virtual assets in the modern world, as well as to summarize the conclusions about virtual assets as the latest object of property rights. The object of research is the content of the concept of "virtual asset" and its legal status. The methodology of work is represented by a set of methods and techniques that were used to achieve this goal, namely: hermeneutic, historical, extrapolation, comparative law, generalization, analysis, synthesis, and deduction. The study analyzed different approaches to understanding virtual assets, analyzed the characteristics of virtual assets, and concluded that in today's conditions there is no single unified legal regulation of virtual assets, although many countries are moving towards consolidating the status of virtual assets.

본 논문에서는 대표적인 특징점 추출 알고리즘인 SURF (Speeded Up Robust Features)를 이용한 얼굴 인식 방법을 소개한 다. 일반적으로, SURF를 이용한 물체 인식은 특징점 추출 및 정합만을 수행하지만, 본 논문에서 제안하는 SURF를 이용한 얼굴 인식 방법은 특징점 추출 및 정합뿐만 아니라 얼굴 영상 회전 및 특징점 검증을 추가로 수행한다. 얼굴 영상 회전은 특징점의 수를 증가시키기 위해 수행되며, 특징점 검증은 정확하게 정합된 특징점들을 찾기 위해 수행된다. 비록 본 논문에서 제안한 SURF를 이용한 얼굴 인식 방법은 PCA를 이용한 방법보다 연산 시간이 더 요구되었지만, 인식률은 보다 더 높았다. 이러한 실험 결과를 통해, 특징점 추출 알고리즘도 얼굴 인식에 적용할 수 있음을 확인할 수 있었다.

Recently, with the growing interest in the field of autonomous driving, many researchers have been focusing on developing autonomous driving software platforms. In particular, we have concentrated on developing 3D object detection models that can improve real-time performance. In this paper, we introduce a self-constructed 3D LiDAR dataset specific to domestic environments and propose a VariFocal-based CenterPoint for the 3D object detection model, with improved performance over the previous models. Furthermore, we present experimental results comparing the performance of the 3D object detection modules using our self-built and public dataset. As the results show, our model, which was trained on a large amount of self-constructed dataset, successfully solves the issue of failing to detect large vehicles and small objects such as motorcycles and pedestrians, which the previous models had difficulty detecting. Consequently, the proposed model shows a performance improvement of about 1.0 mAP over the previous model.

Infrared (IR) imaging has been researched for various applications such as surveillance. IR radiation has the capability to detect thermal characteristics of objects under low-light conditions. However, automatic segmentation for finding the object of interest would be challenging since the IR detector often provides the low spatial and contrast resolution image without color and texture information. Another hindrance is that the image can be degraded by noise and clutters. This paper proposes multi-level segmentation for extracting regions of interest (ROIs) and objects of interest (OOIs) in the IR scene. Each level of the multi-level segmentation is composed of a k-means clustering algorithm, an expectation-maximization (EM) algorithm, and a decision process. The k-means clustering initializes the parameters of the Gaussian mixture model (GMM), and the EM algorithm estimates those parameters iteratively. During the multi-level segmentation, the area extracted at one level becomes the input to the next level segmentation. Thus, the segmentation is consecutively performed narrowing the area to be processed. The foreground objects are individually extracted from the final ROI windows. In the experiments, the effectiveness of the proposed method is demonstrated using several IR images, in which human subjects are captured at a long distance. The average probability of error is shown to be lower than that obtained from other conventional methods such as Gonzalez, Otsu, k-means, and EM methods.

In this paper, we proposed a method of improving the location estimation error existing in RTLS (Real Time Location Service) system for the individual mobility. As ubiquitous age comes, interest for indoor location tracking system is getting more increased. However, existing indoor location tracking system does not correspond actively to frequent changes in indoor environment, and there is a problem that correct location measurement of moving object is difficult due to NLOS (non-line-of-sight) property of indoor environment. Purpose of this paper is to propose an environment accommodation location tracking system that improves the location precision of moving object and grasps location of the object effectively, which is essential an element effectively to provide service and satisfy various users' request.

In this paper, a novel scheme for correcting rotated region in medical images using SIFT(Scale Invariant Feature Transform) algorithm is presented. Using the feature extraction function of SIFT, the rotation angle of rotated object in medical images is calculated as follows. First, keypoints of both reference and rotated medical images are extracted by SIFT. Second, the matching process is performed to the keypoints located at the predetermined ROI(Region Of Interest) at which objects are not cropped or added by rotating the image. Finally, degrees of matched keypoints are calculated and the rotation angle of the rotated object is determined by averaging the difference of the degrees. The simulation results show that the proposed scheme has excellent performance for correcting the rotated region in medical images.

In this study, a visual sensor system which can detect I-butt weld joint with height variation and includes a seam tracking algorithm was investigated. Three-dimensional position of an object can be acquired by using the method of distance measurement, i.e., an optical trigonometry which results from the spatial relations between the camera, the object and the structured light by a visible laser. Effects of laser intensity and iris number for the image quality as well as object material were investigated for the optical system design. For the image processing, a region of interest is defined from the whole image and a line image of laser is drew by using the gray level difference in the image. From the drew laser line, the weld joint can be recognized in searching the biggest point position calculated from the central difference method. Through a series of welding experiments, a good tracking performance was confirmed under GMA welding.
