The object detection and recognition process is a very important task in the field of computer vision, and related research is actively being conducted. However, in the actual object recognition process, the recognition accuracy is often degraded due to the resolution mismatch between the training image data and the test image data. To solve this problem, in this paper, we designed and developed an integrated object recognition and super-resolution framework by proposing an image super-resolution technique to improve object recognition accuracy. In detail, 11,231 license plate training images were built by ourselves through web-crawling and artificial-data-generation, and the image super-resolution artificial neural network was trained by defining an objective function to be robust to the image flip. To verify the performance of the proposed algorithm, we experimented with the trained image super-resolution and recognition on 1,999 test images, and it was confirmed that the proposed super-resolution technique has the effect of improving the accuracy of character recognition.

This paper applies an expert independent unsupervised neural network learning-based multivariate time series data analysis model, MSCRED(Multi-Scale Convolutional Recurrent Encoder-Decoder), and to overcome the limitation, because the MCRED is based on Auto-encoder model, that train data must not to be contaminated, by using learning data sampling technique, called Subset Sampling Validation. By using the vibration data of power plant equipment that has been labeled, the classification performance of MSCRED is evaluated with the Anomaly Score in many cases, 1) the abnormal data is mixed with the training data 2) when the abnormal data is removed from the training data in case 1. Through this, this paper presents an expert-independent anomaly diagnosis framework that is strong against error data, and presents a concise and accurate solution in various fields of multivariate time series data.

To reduce forgetfulness in continuous learning, in this paper, we propose an improved LwF model based on the knowledge transfer method, and we show its effectiveness by experiment. In LwF, if the domain of the learned data is different or the complexity of the data is different, the previously learned results are inaccurate due to forgetting. In particular, when learning continues from complex data to simple data, the phenomenon tends to get worse. In this paper, to ensure that the previous learning results are sufficiently transferred to the LwF model, we apply the knowledge transfer method to LwF, and propose an algorithm for efficient use. As a result, the forgetting phenomenon was reduced by an average of 8% compared to the existing LwF results, and it was effective even when the learning task became long. In particular, when complex data was first learned, the efficiency was improved more than 30% compared to LwF.

Researches on the prediction of domestic apartment sales price have been continuously conducted, but it is not easy to accurately predict apartment prices because various characteristics are compounded. Prior to predicting apartment sales price, the analysis of major factors, influencing on sale prices, is of paramount importance to improve the accuracy of sales price. Therefore, this study aims to analyze what are the factors that affect the apartment sales price in Gwangju, which is currently showing a steady increase rate. With 6 years of Gwangju apartment transaction price and various social factor data, several maching learning techniques such as multiple regression analysis, random forest, and deep artificial neural network algorithms are applied to identify major factors in each model. The performances of each model are compared with RMSE (Root Mean Squared Error), MAE (Mean Absolute Error) and R² (coefficient of determination). The experiment shows that several factors such as 'contract year', 'applicable area', 'certificate of deposit', 'mortgage rate', 'leading index', 'producer price index', 'coincident composite index' are analyzed as main factors, affecting the sales price.

Today, with the improvement of deep learning technology, computer vision areas such as image classification, object detection, object segmentation, and object tracking have shown remarkable improvements. Various applications such as intelligent surveillance, robots, Internet of Things, and autonomous vehicles in combination with deep learning technology are being applied to actual industries. Accordingly, the requirement of an efficient compression method for video data is necessary for machine consumption as well as for human consumption. In this paper, we propose an object-based compression of thermal infrared images for machine vision. The input image is divided into object and background parts based on the object detection results to achieve efficient image compression and high neural network performance. The separated images are encoded in different compression ratios. The experimental result shows that the proposed method has superior compression efficiency with a maximum BD-rate value of -19.83% to the whole image compression done with VVC.

The recurrent neural network (RNN) algorithm has been widely used in water-related research areas, such as water level predictions and water quality predictions, due to its excellent time series learning capabilities. However, studies on water quality predictions using RNN algorithms are limited because of the scarcity of water quality data. Therefore, most previous studies related to water quality predictions were based on monthly predictions. In this study, the quality of the water in a reservoir in Nonsan, Chungcheongnam-do Republic of Korea was predicted using the RNN-LSTM algorithm. The study was conducted after constructing data that could then be, linearly interpolated as daily data. In this study, we attempt to predict the water quality on the 7th, 15th, 30th, 45th and 60th days instead of making daily predictions of water quality factors. For daily predictions, linear interpolated daily water quality data and daily weather data (rainfall, average temperature, and average wind speed) were used. The results of predicting water quality concentrations (chemical oxygen demand [COD], dissolved oxygen [DO], suspended solid [SS], total nitrogen [T-N], total phosphorus [TP]) through the LSTM algorithm indicated that the predictive value was high on the 7th and 15th days. In the 30th day predictions, the COD and DO items showed R² that exceeded 0.6 at all points, whereas the SS, T-N, and T-P items showed differences depending on the factor being assessed. In the 45th day predictions, it was found that the accuracy of all water quality predictions except for the DO item was sharply lowered.

강우 발생 중 용담댐 상류로부터 용담댐으로 유입되는 유입량을 정확하게 예측하는 것은 하류 지역의 홍수 피해를 최소화하기 위한 댐의 적절한 운영에 필수적이다. 물리 기반 강우-유출 시뮬레이션 모형은 물리적 과정의 이해를 바탕으로 홍수 예측 분야에 광범위하게 사용되고 있다. 그러나 복잡한 물리 과정을 완벽히 이해하는 것은 거의 불가능하므로 다양한 가정 조건들을 이용해 복잡한 과정을 단순화하여 계산해야 하는 한계가 존재한다. 최근에는 방대한 데이터의 축적과 컴퓨터 능력의 향상으로 인해 데이터 기반 모형이 다양한 실무 문제를 해결하는 데 강력한 도구로 활용되고 있을 뿐 아니라 시뮬레이션 및 예측 등에도 다양하게 이용되고 있다. 그러나 예측 시간이 늘어날수록 입력자료로 이용되는 과거 자료와 출력자료로 이용되는 미래자료와의 상관관계가 줄어들어 모형의 성능이 저하된다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 용담댐의 시간당 유입량을 예측하기 위해 물리 기반 강우-유출 모형과 오차 보정 모형을 결합한 하이브리드 접근 방식을 제안한다. 물리 기반 강우-유출 모형으로는 HEC-HMS 모형을 사용하였으며, 오차 보정 모형에는 기계학습 모형인 인공신경망(Artificial Neural Network, ANN) 모형을 사용하였다. HEC-HMS 모형, ANN 및 하이브리드 모형(HEC-HMS + ANN)의 성능을 비교하기 위해 20 개의 홍수 사상을 모형 구축 및 검증에 사용하였다. 그 결과 하이브리드 모형은 예측 시간이 늘어날수록 HEC-HMS 및 ANN 모형보다 우수한 성능을 나타냈다. 물리모형에 기계학습을 이용한 오차 보정 절차를 통합한 경우 홍수 유출 예측의 정확성이 향상되었다. 다양한 모형의 비교 결과 본 연구에서 적용한 하이브리드 모형이 물리기반 강우-유출 모형 및 순수 기계학습 모형보다 우수한 성능을 보여줌으로써, 하이브리드 모형은 물리모형과 순수 기계학습 모형의 단점들을 보완하는데 이용할 수 있음을 나타낸다. 이 연구의 주요 목적은 강우-유출 시물레이션 모형의 오차 보정 기술에 대한 더 깊은 이해를 제공하는데 있다.

지방상수도의 관 파손사고 감지 및 누수관리 방법에는 블록시스템 구축을 통한 소블록별 야간최소유량 감시방법이 가장 대표적이다. 야간최소유량은 새벽 2시와 4시 사이의 인구 활동 비율이 가장 낮은 새벽 시간대에 소블록에 공급된 유량을 의미하며, 대부분 유량 성분은 누수량일 것이라는 가정에서 출발한다. 그러나 아파트 중심의 주거 형태를 보이는 도심지의 경우, 새벽 시간대에도 다량의 물수요가 비정기적으로 발생하고 있어 관망의 이상 여부를 감시하기 위한 관리기준으로서 야간최소유량을 이용하기에는 높은 일간 변동성에 따른 한계가 있다고 할 수 있다. 즉, 야간최소유량은 관 파손사고 발생의 감시보다는 관로 연결 또는 급수전 분기 부위에서 발생하는 미량의 누수가 수개월에 걸쳐 누적되는 장기추세를 분석하여 누수탐사반의 투입 시점을 결정하기 위한 근거를 제시하기 위한 목적으로 사용되며, 아직까지 관 파손사고의 발생은 자체적인 감지보다는 민원에 의해 인지되는 경우가 많다. 최근, 스마트관망 구축사업(SWM) 등을 통해 관 파손 및 누수 감지를 위한 청음식 누수감지센서가 소블록 내 도입되고 있으나, 초기 시설투자에 큰 비용이 수반되며 주변 소음과 배터리 전원방식의 한계로 인하여 새벽 시간대에만 분석이 제한적으로 적용되는 경우가 많아 이 역시도 상시적인 관 파손사고의 감시기술이라 보기는 어렵다. 본 연구에서는 소블록 유입점에서의 유량·압력과 소블록 내에 설치된 대수용가 스마트미터, 그리고 사고감지를 위한 수압계 사이의 평상시 수리적 균형을 학습한 DNN(Deep Neural Network) 모델을 이용하여 관 파손사고를 실시간 감지하는 모델 개발연구를 수행하였다. 모델은 관 파손사고 감지를 위한 수압계의 최적 위치와 대수를 결정하기 위한 모듈과 관 파손사고 감지모듈로 구성되며, 1개 소블록 Test-Bed를 구축하여 모델을 생성하고 PDD 관망해석 모델을 통해 생성된 가상의 사고에 대한 감지 여부로서 개발 모델의 감지성능을 평가하였다.

With the rapid development of deep learning, Depth Map Super-Resolution (DMSR) method has achieved more advanced performances. However, when the upsampling rate is very large, it is difficult to capture the structural consistency between color features and depth features by these DMSR methods. Therefore, we propose a color-image guided DMSR method based on iterative depth feature enhancement. Considering the feature difference between high-quality color features and low-quality depth features, we propose to decompose the depth features into High-Frequency (HF) and Low-Frequency (LF) components. Due to structural homogeneity of depth HF components and HF color features, only HF color features are used to enhance the depth HF features without using the LF color features. Before the HF and LF depth feature decomposition, the LF component of the previous depth decomposition and the updated HF component are combined together. After decomposing and reorganizing recursively-updated features, we combine all the depth LF features with the final updated depth HF features to obtain the enhanced-depth features. Next, the enhanced-depth features are input into the multistage depth map fusion reconstruction block, in which the cross enhancement module is introduced into the reconstruction block to fully mine the spatial correlation of depth map by interleaving various features between different convolution groups. Experimental results can show that the two objective assessments of root mean square error and mean absolute deviation of the proposed method are superior to those of many latest DMSR methods.
