Voice interaction combined with artificial intelligence is poised to revolutionize human-computer interactions with the advent of virtual assistants. This paper is analyzing interactive elements of AI-based voice recognition services such as sympathy, assurance, intimacy, and trust on intention to use. The questionnaire was carried out for 284 smartphone/smart TV users in Korea. The collected data was analyzed by structural equation model analysis and bootstrapping. The key results are as follows. First, AI-based voice recognition service characteristics such as sympathy, assurance, intimacy, and trust have positive effects on interactivity with the AI-based voice recognition service. Second, the interactivity with the AI-based voice recognition service has positive effects on intention to use. Third, AI-based voice recognition service characteristics such as interactional enjoyment and intimacy have directly positive effects on intention to use. Fourth, AI-based voice recognition service characteristics such as sympathy, assurance, intimacy and trust have indirectly positive effects on intention to use the AI-based voice recognition service by mediating the effect of the interactivity with the AI-based voice recognition service. It is meaningful to investigate factors affecting the interactivity and intention to use voice recognition assistants. It has practical and academic implications.

The construction industry is increasingly adopting vision AI technologies to improve efficiency and safety management. However, the complex and dynamic nature of construction sites can pose challenges to the accuracy of vision AI models trained on datasets that do not consider the background. This study investigates the effect of background on object recognition for vision AI in construction sites by constructing a learning dataset and a test dataset with varying backgrounds. Frame scaffolding was chosen as the object of recognition due to its wide use, potential safety hazards, and difficulty in recognition. The experimental results showed that considering the background during model training significantly improved the accuracy of object recognition.

Securing transportation safety infrastructure technology for Lv.4 connected autonomous driving is very important for the spread of autonomous vehicles, and the safe operation of level 4 autonomous vehicles in adverse weather has limitations due to the development of vehicle-only technology. We developed the radar-enabled AI convergence transportation entities detection system. This system is mounted on fixed and mobile supports on the road, and provides excellent autonomous driving situation recognition/determination results by converging transportation entities information collected from various monitoring sensors such as 60GHz radar and EO/IR based on artificial intelligence. By installing such a radar-enabled AI convergence transportation entities detection system on an autonomous road, it is possible to increase driving efficiency and ensure safety in adverse weather. To secure competitive technologies in the global market, the development of four key technologies such as ① AI-enabled transportation situation recognition/determination algorithm, ② 60GHz radar development technology, ③ multi-sensor data convergence technology, and ④ AI data framework technology is required.

Contactless service is rapidly emerging as a new growth strategy due to consumers who are reluctant to the face-to-face situation in the global pandemic of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), and various technologies are being developed to support the fast-growing contactless service market. In particular, the restaurant industry is one of the most desperate industrial fields requiring technologies for contactless service, and the representative technical case should be a kiosk, which has the advantage of reducing labor costs for the restaurant owners and provides psychological relaxation and satisfaction to the customer. In this paper, we propose a solution to the restaurant's store operation through the unmanned kiosk using a state-of-the-art artificial intelligence (AI) technology of image recognition. Especially, for the products that do not have barcodes in bakeries, fresh foods (fruits, vegetables, etc.), and autonomous restaurants on highways, which cause increased labor costs and many hassles, our proposed system should be very useful. The proposed system recognizes products without barcodes on the ground of image-based AI algorithm technology and makes automatic payments. To test the proposed system feasibility, we established an AI vision system using a commercial camera and conducted an image recognition test by training object detection AI models using donut images. The proposed system has a self-learning system with mismatched information in operation. The self-learning AI technology allows us to upgrade the recognition performance continuously. We proposed a fully automated payment system with AI vision technology and showed system feasibility by the performance test. The system realizes contactless service for self-checkout in the restaurant business area and improves the cost-saving in managing human resources.

인공지능은 우리의 삶에 점차 많은 부분을 차지하고 있으며, 발전하는 속도도 빨라지고 있다. 학생들의 컴퓨팅 사고력을 인공지능이 학습하는 방법대로 길러주는 것을 ACT(AI based Computational Thinking)라고 한다. ACT 중 패턴 인식은 문제를 효율적으로 해결하기 위해 필수적인 요소이다. 패턴 분석은 패턴 인식 과정의 일부로 볼 수 있다. 실제로 넷플릭스의 개인 맞춤 영화 추천, 반복된 증상을 분석하여 코로나 바이러스로 명명하는 것 등이 모두 패턴 분석의 결과이다. 패턴인식을 포함한 ACT의 중요성이 부각되는 것에 반면, 유치원과 초등학교 저학년을 대상으로 한 소프트웨어 교육은 국외에 비해 많이 부족한 실정이다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 유치원 학생들을 대상으로 하여 패턴 분석을 통한 인공지능 기반 컴퓨팅 사고력 계발을 위한 교재를 설계하고 개발하였다.

Recently, studies have been conducted on intelligent transportation systems (ITS) that provide safety and convenience to humans. Systems that compose the ITS adopt architectures that applied the cloud computing which consists of a high-performance general-purpose processor or graphics processing unit. However, an architecture that only used the cloud computing requires a high network bandwidth and consumes much power. Therefore, applying edge computing to ITS is essential for solving these problems. In this paper, we propose an edge artificial intelligence (AI) device based ITS. Edge AI which is applicable to various systems in ITS has been applied to license plate recognition. We implemented edge AI on a field-programmable gate array (FPGA). The accuracy of the edge AI for license plate recognition was 0.94. Finally, we synthesized the edge AI logic with Magnachip/Hynix 180nm CMOS technology and the power consumption measured using the Synopsys's design compiler tool was 482.583mW.

In implementing a robust automatic target recognition(ATR) system with synthetic aperture radar(SAR) imagery, one of the most important issues is accurate classification of target variants, which are the same targets with different serial numbers, configurations and versions, etc. In this paper, a deep learning network with channel attention modules is proposed to cope with the recognition problem for target variants based on the previous research findings that the channel attention mechanism selectively emphasizes the useful features for target recognition. Different from other existing attention methods, this paper employs the channel attention modules without dimensionality reduction along the channel direction from which direct correspondence between feature map channels can be preserved and the features valuable for recognizing SAR target variants can be effectively derived. Experiments with the public benchmark dataset demonstrate that the proposed scheme is superior to the network with other existing channel attention modules.

AI-OCR은 광학 문자 인식(OCR) 기술과 Artificial intelligence(AI)의 결합으로 사람의 인식이 필요하던 OCR의 단점을 보완하는 기술 향상을 이뤄내고 있다. AI-OCR의 성능을 높이기 위해서는 다양한 학습데이터의 훈련이 필요하다. 하지만 이미지 색상이 비슷한 밝기를 가진 경우에는 인식률이 떨어지기 때문에, Homomorphic filtering(HF)을 이용한 전처리 과정으로 색상 차이를 분명하게 하여 텍스트 인식률을 높이게 된다. HF은 감마값을 이용해 이미지의 고주파와 저주파를 각각 조절한다는 점에서 텍스트 추출에 적합하지만 감마값의 조절이 수동적으로 이뤄지는 단점이 존재한다. 본 연구는 시험적 과정을 거쳐 이미지의 대비, 밝기 및 엔트로피를 근거하는 감마의 임계값 범위를 제안한다. 제안된 감마값 범위를 적용한 HF의 실험 결과는 효율적인 AI-OCR의 높은 등장 가능성을 시사한다.
