Permanent Scatterer InSAR (PSInSAR) technique extracts permanent scatterers exhibiting high phase stability over the entire observation period and calculates precise time-series deformation at Permanent Scatterer (PS) points by using single master interferograms. This technique is not a good method to apply on nature environment such as forest area where permanent scatterers cannot be identified. Another muti-temporal Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar (InSAR), Small BAseline Subset (SBAS) technique using multi master interferograms with short baselines, can be effective to detect deformation in forest area. However, because of the error induced from phase unwrapping, the technique sometimes fails to estimate correct deformation from a stack of interferograms. To overcome those problems, we introduced new multi-temporal InSAR technique, called Temporarily Coherence Point InSAR (TCPInSAR), in this paper. This technique utilizes multi master interferograms with short baseline and without phase unwrapping. To compare with traditional multi-temporal InSAR techniques, we retrieved spatially changing deformation because PSs have been found enough in forest area with TCPInSAR technique and time-series deformation without phase unwrapping error. For this study, we acquired ERS-1 and ERS-2 SAR dataset on Augustine volcano, Alaska and detected deformation in study area for the period 1992-2005 with SBAS and TCPInSAR techniques.

Multitemporal interferometric SAR has became an useful geodetic tool for monitoring Earth's surface deformation, generation of precise DEM, and land cover classification even though there still exist certain constraints such as temporal and spatial decorrelation effects, atmospheric artifacts and inaccurate orbit information. The Korea where nearly all areas are heavily vegetated, JERS-1 SAR has advantages in monitoring surface deformations and environmental changes in that it uses 4-times longer wavelength than ERS-l/2 or RADARSAT SAR system. For generating differential SAR interferogram and differential coherence image fer deformation mapping and temporal change detection, respectively, topographic phase removal process is required utilizing a reference inteferogram or external DEM simulation. Because the SAR antenna baseline parameter for JERS-1 is less accurate than those of ERS-l/2, one can not estimate topographic phases from an external DEM and the residual phase appears in differential interferogram. In this paper, we examined topographic phase retrieval method utilizing an external DEM. The baseline refinement is carried out by minimizing the differences between the measured unwrapped phase and the reference points of the DEM.

Generally, most people use the photo management method which clusters lots of photos into each folders according to photo shooting time and date. However, since the number of photos to manage is getting more increasing, it takes much time and burdensome work. This paper describes PHOTOLAND, a system that visualizes hundreds of photos on a 2D grid space to help users manage their photos. It closely places similar photos in the grid based on temporal and spatial information. Most photograph management systems use a scrollable view based on a sequential grid layout that arranges the thumbnails of photos in some default order on the screen. Our system decreases drag and drop mouse interaction when they classify their photos into small groups comparing to the sequential grid layout. We conducted experiments to evaluate temporal coherence and space efficiency.

The study reported in this paper aimed to evaluate the topics and opinions of COVID-19 discussion found on Twitter. It performed topic modeling and sentiment analysis of tweets posted during the COVID-19 outbreak, and compared these results over space and time. In addition, by covering a more recent and a longer period of the pandemic timeline, several patterns not previously reported in the literature were revealed. Author-pooled Latent Dirichlet Allocation (LDA) was used to generate twenty topics that discuss different aspects related to the pandemic. Time-series analysis of the distribution of tweets over topics was performed to explore how the discussion on each topic changed over time, and the potential reasons behind the change. In addition, spatial analysis of topics was performed by comparing the percentage of tweets in each topic among top tweeting countries. Afterward, sentiment analysis of tweets was performed at both temporal and spatial levels. Our intention was to analyze how the sentiment differs between countries and in response to certain events. The performance of the topic model was assessed by being compared with other alternative topic modeling techniques. The topic coherence was measured for the different techniques while changing the number of topics. Results showed that the pooling by author before performing LDA significantly improved the produced topic models.

This paper presents a method to generate stained-glass animation from video inputs. The method initially segments an input video volume into several regions considered as fragments of glass by mean-shift segmentation. However, the segmentation predominantly results in over-segmentation, causing several tiny segments in a highly textured area. In practice, assembling significantly tiny or large glass fragments is avoided to ensure architectural stability in stained glass manufacturing. Therefore, we use low-frequency components in the segmentation to prevent over-segmentation and subdivide segmented regions that are oversized. The subdividing must be coherent between adjacent frames to prevent temporal artefacts, such as flickering and the shower door effect. To temporally subdivide regions coherently, we obtain a panoramic image from the segmented regions in input frames, subdivide it using a weighted Voronoi diagram, and thereafter project the subdivided regions onto the input frames. To render stained glass fragment for each coherent region, we determine the optimal match glass fragment for the region from a dataset consisting of real stained-glass fragment images and transfer its color and texture to the region. Finally, applying lead came at the boundary of the regions in each frame yields temporally coherent stained-glass animation.

Ground subsidence in urban areas is mainly caused by anthropogenic factors such as excessive groundwater extraction and underground infrastructure development in the subsurface composed of soft materials. Global Navigation Satellite System data with high temporal resolution have been widely used to measure surface displacements accurately. However, these point-based terrestrial measurements with the low spatial resolution are somewhat limited in observing two-dimensional continuous surface displacements over large areas. The synthetic aperture radar interferometry (InSAR) technique can construct relatively high spatial resolution surface displacement information with accuracy ranging from millimeters to centimeters. Although constellation operations of SAR satellites have improved the revisit cycle, the temporal resolution of space-based observations is still low compared to in-situ observations. In this study, we evaluate the extraction of a time-series of surface displacement in Incheon Metropolitan City, South Korea, using the small baseline subset technique implemented using the commercial software, Gamma. For this purpose, 24 COSMO-SkyMed X-band SAR observations were collected from July 12, 2011, to August 27, 2012. The time-series surface displacement results were improved by reducing random phase noise, correcting residual phase due to satellite orbit errors, and mitigating nonlinear atmospheric phase artifacts. The perpendicular baseline of the collected COSMO-SkyMed SAR images was set to approximately 2-300 m. The surface displacement related to the ground subsidence was detected approximately 1 cm annually around a few Incheon Subway Line 2 route stations. The sufficient coherence indicates that the satellite orbit has been precisely managed for the interferometric processing.

본 논문에서는 X-band GB-SAR 시스템을 이용하여 지상을 모니터링 하였으며, 대기 중의 습도와 거리의 영향을 받는 대기보정 상수를 산출하였다. 시스템에서 X-band 안테나는 중심주파수 9.65 GHz, 밴드 폭 600 MHz이며, 신호의 증폭과 다편파 측정 및 분석을 위해 각각 마이크로파 앰프와 마이크로파 스위치를 이용하였다. Azimuth step과 length는 5 cm와 5 m로 최대 관측 거리는 약 200 m 이다. phase 분석에 쓰인 산란체는 총 5개의 trihedral corner reflector로서, 시스템으로부터의 거리를 각각 다르게 설정하였다. 실험은 3일간 연속적으로 수행되었으며, 실험간 상대습도는 최소 50 %에서 최대 90 %까지로 약 40 %의 변화를 보였다. 고정된 상태의 reflector는 마치 이동한 것과 같은 현상을 보였는데 이는 마이크로화의 전파과정에서 발생하는 거리와 습도에 따른 지연효과라고 판단하였으며, 이를 배제하기 위하여 대기보정식을 산출하였다. 산출과정에서 temporal coherence가 0.98 이하인 reflector의 신호는 제외하였는데 이 경우 시스템 및 reflector의 안정성에 문제가 있다고 판단하였기 때문이다. 산출된 대기보정식은 C-band 안테나를 사용한 실험과 비교하여 보았다.

모바일 환경에서 평면기반 카메라 추적을 이용해서 가상 물체를 증강시킬 때 강건함과 실시간성은 매우 중요하면서도 서로 상반관계에 있다. 본 논문은 이러한 문제를 해결하기 위해서 인접한 프레임 사이의 시간일관성을 이용한다. 즉, 카메라 움직임이 크지 않다고 가정하고, 이전 프레임의 정보로부터 현재 프레임에서의 초기 카메라 포즈를 쉽게 얻을 수 있으며, 이를 이용함으로써 좀더 강건하면서 빠른 평면기반 카메라 추적 방법을 제안한다. 또한, 특징점 추적을 보다 효율적인 방법으로 대체함으로써, 속도 개선을 극대화한다. 실험을 통해서 제안된 방법이 50%정도의 시간이 절약되면서도 강건함이 보장된다는 것을 확인하였다.

Background : The conventional electroencephalography(EEG) is commonly used as aid in the diagnosis of dementia. Recently developed quantitative electroencephalography(qEEG) provides data that are not achievable by conventional EEG. The aim of this study was to find out the usefulness of quantified-EEG in dementia. Method : Twenty elderly women(10 normal elderly, 10 demented elderly) were participated in this study. EEG power and coherence was computed over 21 channels; right and left frontal, central, parietal, temporal and occipital areas. Result : The activity of ${\alpha}$ wave was more higher than others significantly at frontal and parietal areas in normal elderly, but the activity of ${\theta}$ wave was higher in demented elderly. And the activity of ${\theta}$ wave in demented elderly women was more higher than normal elderly women significantly. Conclusion : In conclusion, we discovered that quantitative EEG was used to diagnose dementia.

일반적으로 비사실적인 렌더링(Non-Photorealistic Rendering, NPR)에 의해 렌더링된 흑백 동영상 프레임들은 재생도중에 플리커(Flicker, 깜빡거리는 현상)와 같은 부작용이 발생한다. 이것은 연속적인 프레임 영상들이 시간 일관성을 고려하지 않은 상태로 NPR 기법이 프레임 단위로 적용되기 때문이다. 그러므로 각 영상의 플리커를 완화하기 위해서는 각 프레임의 객체들이 다음 프레임에서 변형되는 정도를 측정한 후, 연속된 프레임 영상에서 객체 사이의 연관성을 설정해야 하기 때문에, NPR 기법이 적용된 연속된 영상의 디플리커는 많은 어려움을 내포하고 있다. 본 논문에서는 NPR 기법들 중, 일관성 있는 스트록을 렌더링하기 위한 NPR 기법인 Coherent Line Drawing을 적용한 이진 영상의 디플리커 방법을 제안한다.
