Due to the increasing need for 3D spatial data, modeling of topography and artificial structures plays an important role in three-dimensional Urban Analysis. This study suggests a methodology for solving the problem of calculation for the extraction of building boundary, minimizing the user's intervention, and automatically extracting building boundary, using the LIDAR data. The methodology suggested in this study is characterized by combining the merits of the point-based process and the image-based process. The procedures for extracting building boundary are three steps: 1) LIDAR point data are interpolated to extract approximately building region. 2) LIDAR point data are triangulated in each individual building area. 3) Extracted boundary of each building is then simplified in consideration of its area, minimum length of building.The performance of the developed methodology is evaluated using real LIDAR data. Through the experiment, the extracted building boundaries are compared with digital map.

This paper discusses techniques for embedding data into 3D polygonal models of geometry. Much researches of Watermarking had been gone as element technology of DRM (digital rights management). But, few research had gone to 3D polygonal model. Most research is limited at text document, 2D image, animation, music etc. RP system is suitable a few production in various goods species, and it is used much in industry to possible reason that produce prototype and find error or incongruent factor at early stage on design in product development childhood. This paper is research about method that insert watermark in STL ( stereolithography) file that have 3D shape model. Proposed algorithm inserts watermark in normal vector region and facet's interior region of 3D shape data. For this reason, 3D shape does not produce some flexure and fulfill invisibility of watermark. Experiment results that insert and extract watermark in normal netter region and facet's Interior region of 3D shape data by proposed algorithm do not influence entirely in 3D shape and show that insertion and extraction of watermark are possible.

Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) was identified in December 2019 in China and has spread globally, resulting in an ongoing pandemic. Because COVID-19 is spread mainly from person to person, every person is required to wear a facemask in public. On the other hand, many people are still not wearing facemasks despite official advice. This paper proposes a method to predict whether a human subject is wearing a facemask or not. In the proposed method, two eye regions are detected, and the mask region (i.e., face regions below two eyes) is predicted and extracted based on the two eye locations. For more accurate extraction of the mask region, the facial region was aligned by rotating it such that the line connecting the two eye centers was horizontal. The mask region extracted from the aligned face was fed into a convolutional neural network (CNN), producing the classification result (with or without a mask). The experimental result on 186 test images showed that the proposed method achieves a very high accuracy of 98.4%.

In this paper, we propose an efficient method for detecting and tracking multiple moving objects based on morphological region merging from real-time video sequences. The proposed approach consists of adaptive threshold extraction, morphological region merging and detecting and tracking of objects. Firstly, input frame is separated into moving regions and static regions using the difference of images between two consecutive frames. Secondly, objects are segmented with a reference background image and adaptive threshold values, then, the segmentation result is refined by morphological region merge algorithm. Lastly, each object segmented in a previous step is assigned a consistent identification over time, based on its spatio-temporal information. The experimental results show that a proposed method is efficient and useful in terms of real-time multiple objects detecting and tracking.

This paper present the multi-modal user distance estimation system using mono camera and mono microphone basically equipped with a mobile device. In case of a distance estimation method using an image, we is estimated a distance of the user through the skin color region extraction step, a noise removal step, the face and eyes region detection step. On the other hand, in case of a distance estimation method using speech, we calculates the absolute difference between the value of the sample of speech input. The largest peak value of the calculated difference value is selected and samples before and after the peak are specified as the ROI(Region of Interest). The samples specified perform FFT(Fast Fourier Transform) and calculate the magnitude of the frequency domain. Magnitude obtained is compared with the distance model to calculate the likelihood. We is estimated user distance by adding with weights in the sorted value. The result of an experiment using the multi-modal method shows more improved measurement value than that of single modality.

3D positional information of lane can be automatically calculated tv combining GPS data, IMU data if coordinates of lane centers are given. The Road Safety Survey and Analysis Vehicle(RoSSAV) is currently under development to analyze three dimensional safety and stability of roads. RoSSAV has GPS and IMU sensors to get positional information of the vehicle and two road-facing CCD cameras for extraction of lane coordinates. In this paper, we develop technology that automatically detects centers of lanes from the road-facing cameras of RoSSAV. The proposed algorithm defines line-support regions by grouping pixels with similar edge orientation and magnitude together and extracts a line from each line support region by planar fitting. Then if extracted lines and the region in-between satisfy the criteria of brightness and width, we decide this region as lane. The proposed algorithm was more precise and stable than the previously proposed algorithm based on brightness threshold method. Experiments with real road scenes confirmed that lane was effectively extracted by the proposed algorithm.

Motion estimation in video coding greatly affects implementation complexity. In this paper, a reducing method of the complexity in motion estimation is proposed by using both the depth and color cameras. We obtain object information with video sequence from distance information calculated by depth camera, then perform labeling for grouping pixels within similar distances as the same object. Three search regions (background, inside-object, boundary) are determined adaptively for each of motion estimation blocks within current and reference pictures. If a current block is the inside-object region, then motion is searched within the inside-object region of reference picture. Also if a current block is the background region, then motion is searched within the background region of reference picture. From simulation results, we can see that the proposed method compared to the full search method remains the almost same as the motion estimated difference signal and significantly reduces the searching complexity.

In this paper, we proposed a content-based image retrieval using a color feature for central region and its optimized comparing bin method. Human's visual characteristic is influenced by existent of central object. So we supposed that object is centrally located in image and then we extract color feature at central region. When the background of image is simple, the retrieval result can be bad affected by major color of background. Our method overcome this drawback as a result of the human visual characteristic. After we transform Image into HSV color space, we extract color feature from the quantized image with 16 level. The experimental results showed that the method using the eight high rank bin is better than using the 16 bin The case which extracts the feature with image's central region was superior compare with the case which extracts the feature with the whole image about 5%.
