  • An autonomous semantic-map building method is proposed, with the robot localized in the semantic-map. Our semantic-map is organized by objects represented as SIFT features and vision-based relative localization is employed as a process model to implement extended Kalman filters. Thus, we expect that robust SLAM performance can be obtained even under poor conditions in which localization cannot be achieved by classical odometry-based SLAM

  • This paper describes hierarchical semantic map building using the classified area information in home environments. The hierarchical semantic map consists of a grid, CAIG (Classified Area Information in Grid), and topological map. The grid and CAIG maps are used for navigation and motion selection, respectively. The topological map provides the intuitive information on the environment, which can be used for the communication between robots and users. The proposed semantic map building algorithm can greatly improve the capabilities of a mobile robot in various domains, including localization, path-planning and HRI (Human-Robot Interaction). In the home environment, a door can be used to divide an area into various sections, such as a room, a kitchen, and so on. Therefore, we used not only the grid map of the home environment, but also the door information as a main clue to classify the area and to build the hierarchical semantic map. The proposed method was verified through various experiments and it was found that the algorithm guarantees autonomous map building in the home environment.

  • This paper describes a sensor fusion-based semantic map building which can improve the capabilities of a mobile robot in various domains including localization, path-planning and mapping. To build a semantic map, various environmental information, such as doors and cliff areas, should be extracted autonomously. Therefore, we propose a method to detect doors, cliff areas and robust visual features using a laser scanner and a vision sensor. The GHT (General Hough Transform) based recognition of door handles and the geometrical features of a door are used to detect doors. To detect the cliff area and robust visual features, the tilting laser scanner and SIFT features are used, respectively. The proposed method was verified by various experiments and showed that the robot could build a semantic map autonomously in various indoor environments.

  • Traditional keyword-based searching methods suffer from low accuracy and high complexity due to the rapid growth in the amount of information. Accordingly, many researchers attempt to implement a so-called semantic search which is based on the semantics of the user's query. Semantic information can be described using a semantic modeling language, such as Topic Map. In this paper, we propose a new method to map a topic map to a traditional Relational Database (RDB) without any information loss. Although there have been a few attempts to map topic maps to RDB, they have paid scant attention to handling multi-role topics. In this paper, we propose a new storage structure to map multi-role topics to traditional RDB. The proposed structure consists of a mapping table, role tables, and content tables. Additionally, we devise a query translator to convert a user's query to one appropriate to the proposed structure.

  • Recently, semantic trajectories which combine GPS positions and POIs(Point of Interests) become more popular in order to expand location based services. To construct semantic trajectories, the existing algorithms exploit the extent information of POIs described as polygons and find overlapping regions between GPS positions and the extents. However, the algorithms are not applicable in the condition where the extent information is not provided such as in Google Map, Naver Map, OpenStreetMap and most of the open geographic information systems. In this paper, we provide a novel algorithm to construct semantic trajectories only with GPS positions and POI points but without POI extents.

  • This paper provides a framework for semantic correspondence of heterogeneous databases using self- organizing map. It solves the problem of overlapping between different databases due to their different schemas. Clustering technique using self-organizing maps (SOM) is tested and evaluated to assess its performance when using different kinds of data. Preprocessing of database is performed prior to clustering using edit distance algorithm, principal component analysis (PCA), and normalization function to identify the features necessary for clustering.

  • In this paper, We try to design combined source-channel coder that is compatible with video coding standards. This MAP decoder is proposed by adding semantic structure and semantic constraint of video coding standards to the method using redundnacy of the MAP decoders proposed previously. Then, We get the better performance than usual channel coder's.

  • Single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) have been emerging out of the efforts to research human diseases and ethnic disparities. A semantic network is needed for in-depth understanding of the impacts of SNPs, because phenotypes are modulated by complex networks, including biochemical and physiological pathways. We identified ethnicity-specific SNPs by eliminating overlapped SNPs from HapMap samples, and the ethnicity-specific SNPs were mapped to the UCSC RefGene lists. Ethnicity-specific genes were identified as follows: 22 genes in the USA (CEU) individuals, 25 genes in the Japanese (JPT) individuals, and 332 genes in the African (YRI) individuals. To analyze the biologically functional implications for ethnicity-specific SNPs, we focused on constructing a semantic network model. Entities for the network represented by "Gene," "Pathway," "Disease," "Chemical," "Drug," "ClinicalTrials," "SNP," and relationships between entity-entity were obtained through curation. Our semantic modeling for ethnicity-specific SNPs showed interesting results in the three categories, including three diseases ("AIDS-associated nephropathy," "Hypertension," and "Pelvic infection"), one drug ("Methylphenidate"), and five pathways ("Hemostasis," "Systemic lupus erythematosus," "Prostate cancer," "Hepatitis C virus," and "Rheumatoid arthritis"). We found ethnicity-specific genes using the semantic modeling, and the majority of our findings was consistent with the previous studies - that an understanding of genetic variability explained ethnicity-specific disparities.

  • Semantic image segmentation technology in the field of computer vision is a technology that classifies an image by dividing it into pixels. This technique is also rapidly improving performance using a machine learning method, and a high possibility of utilizing information in units of pixels is drawing attention. However, this technology has been raised from the early days until recently for 'lack of detailed segmentation' problem. Since this problem was caused by increasing the size of the label map, it was expected that the label map could be improved by using the edge map of the original image with detailed edge information. Therefore, in this paper, we propose a post-processing algorithm that maintains semantic image segmentation based on learning, but modifies the resulting label map based on the edge map of the original image. After applying the algorithm to the existing method, when comparing similar applications before and after, approximately 1.74% pixels and 1.35% IoU (Intersection of Union) were applied, and when analyzing the results, the precise targeting fine segmentation function was improved.
