In this paper we implemented the fast thinning unit by modifying the pipeline architecture which was proposed by Stanley R. Sternberg. The unit is useful in preprocessing such as image representation and pattern recognition etc. This unit is composed of interface part, local memory part, address generation part, thinning processing part and control part. In thinning processing part, we shortened the thinning part which performed by means of look up table using window mapping table. Thus we improved the weakness of SAP, in which the number of delay pipeline and window pipeline are equal to image column size. Two independent memorys using tri-state buffer enable the two direction flow of address generated by address generation part. This unit avoids the complexity of architecture and has flexibility of image size by means of simple modification of logic bits.

The accuracy of training-based activity recognition depends on the training procedure and the extent to which the training dataset comprehensively represents the activity and its varieties. Additionally, training incurs substantial cost and effort in the process of collecting training data. To address these limitations, we have developed a training-free activity recognition approach based on a fuzzy logic algorithm that utilizes a generic activity model and an associated activity semantic knowledge. The approach is validated through experimentation with real activity datasets. Results show that the fuzzy logic based algorithms exhibit comparable or better accuracy than other training-based approaches.

Studies are being conducted regarding falling recognition using sensors on smartphonesto recognize falling in human daily life. These studies use a number of sensors, mostly acceleration sensors, gyro sensors, motion sensors, etc. Falling recognition system processes the values of sensor data by using a falling recognition algorithm and classifies behavior based on thresholds. If the threshold is ambiguous, the accuracy will be reduced. To solve this problem, Deep learning was introduced in the behavioral recognition system. Deep learning is a kind of machine learning technique that computers process and categorize input data rather than processing it by man-made algorithms. Thus, in this paper, we propose a falling recognition application system using deep learning based on smartphones. The proposed system is powered by apps on smartphones. It also consists of three layers and uses DataBase as a Service (DBaaS) to handle big data and address data heterogeneity. The proposed system uses deep learning to recognize the user's behavior, it can expect higher accuracy compared to the system in the general rule base.

Due to various factors such as postures, facial expressions and illuminations, face recognition by videos often suffer from poor recognition accuracy and generalization ability, since the within-class scatter might even be higher than the between-class one. Herein we address this problem by proposing a hierarchical cascaded classifier for video face recognition, which is a multi-layer algorithm and accounts for the misclassified samples plus their similar samples. Specifically, it can be decomposed into single classifier construction and multi-layer classifier design stages. In single classifier construction stage, classifier is created by clustering and the number of classes is computed by analyzing distance tree. In multi-layer classifier design stage, the next layer is created for the misclassified samples and similar ones, then cascaded to a hierarchical classifier. The experiments on the database collected by ourselves show that the recognition accuracy of the proposed classifier outperforms the compared recognition algorithms, such as neural network and sparse representation.

Although deep learning-based visual image recognition technology has evolved rapidly, most of the commonly used methods focus solely on recognition accuracy. However, the demand for low latency and low power consuming image recognition with an acceptable accuracy is rising for practical applications in edge devices. For example, most Internet of Things (IoT) devices have a low computing power requiring more pragmatic use of these technologies; in addition, drones or smartphones have limited battery capacity again requiring practical applications that take this into consideration. Furthermore, some people do not prefer that central servers process their private images, as is required by high performance serverbased recognition technologies. To address these demands, the object and scene recognition technologies for mobile/embedded devices that enable optimized neural networks to operate in mobile and embedded environments are gaining attention. In this report, we briefly summarize the recent trends and issues of object and scene recognition technologies for mobile and embedded devices.

본 연구에서는 컴퓨터 비전의 분야 중 하나인 문자 인식에 관한 연구를 수행했다. 대표적인 문자인식 기법 중 하나인 광학식 문자 판독 기법의 경우 일정한 규격과 서식에서 벗어나게 되면 인식률이 떨어진다는 한계점이 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 딥 러닝 기법을 적용해 이러한 문제점을 해결하고자 한다. 또한 기존의 문자 인식 연구의 경우 대부분 영어 및 숫자 인식에 국한되어 있다. 따라서 본 연구는 한글 인식을 위한 딥 러닝 기반 문자 인식 알고리즘을 제시한다. 알고리즘은 1-NED 평가 방법에서 0.841의 점수를 얻었으며, 이는 영어 인식 결과와 비슷한 수치이다. 본 연구를 통해 딥 러닝 기반 한글 인식 알고리즘의 성능을 확인할 수 있으며, 이를 통해 향후 연구방향에 대해 제시한다.

Due to the wide application of face recognition (FR) in information security, surveillance, access control and others, it has received significantly increased attention from both the academic and industrial communities during the past several decades. However, partial face occlusion is one of the most challenging problems in face recognition issue. In this paper, a novel method based on linear regression-based classification (LRC) algorithm is proposed to address this problem. After all images are downsampled and divided into several blocks, we exploit the evaluator of each block to determine the clear blocks of the test face image by using linear regression technique. Then, the remained uncontaminated blocks are utilized to partial occluded face recognition issue. Furthermore, an improved Distance-based Evidence Fusion approach is proposed to decide in favor of the class with average value of corresponding minimum distance. Since this occlusion removing process uses a simple linear regression approach, the completely computational cost approximately equals to LRC and much lower than sparse representation-based classification (SRC) and extended-SRC (eSRC). Based on the experimental results on both AR face database and extended Yale B face database, it demonstrates the effectiveness of the proposed method on issue of partial occluded face recognition and the performance is satisfactory. Through the comparison with the conventional methods (eigenface+NN, fisherfaces+NN) and the state-of-the-art methods (LRC, SRC and eSRC), the proposed method shows better performance and robustness.

Community-Based Participatory Research(CBPR) has gained attention as a public health approach to develop community health interventions to address health disparities in recognition of the community relevance of specific health issues associated with social determinants of health. It emphasizes community involvement in equal partnership with researchers and public health professionals to address community-identified needs. The characteristics and principles of CBPR discussed in this paper highlight participatory nature, capacity development, partnership building, and process-orientation of CBPR. A 6-step process model for community empowerment is then introduced as a CBPR operationalization strategy. Mixed methods research approaches are valuable in CBPR as well as process evaluation. For the application of CBPR in Korean contexts, the Diffusion of Innovation theory is suggested as a theoretical framework for implementation. Building public health partnerships between public and private sectors to create partnership synergy is a necessary condition for successful CBPR for health promotion in Korea. Accompanying critical factors for the CBPR application include: common understanding of CBPR and its values, establishment of the definition of 'community,' 'community-based' and 'participation' in community health, development of accommodating research infrastructure for CBPR, recognition of the importance of program evaluation (particularly process evaluation), and training CBPR specialists.
