Ship detection in synthetic aperture radar (SAR) images is an important application in marine monitoring for the military and civilian domains. Over the past decade, object detection has achieved significant progress with the development of convolutional neural networks (CNNs) and lot of labeled databases. However, due to difficulty in collecting and labeling SAR images, it is still a challenging task to solve SAR ship detection CNNs. To overcome the problem, some methods have employed conventional data augmentation techniques such as flipping, cropping, and affine transformation, but it is insufficient to achieve robust performance to handle a wide variety of types of ships. In this paper, we present a novel and effective approach for deep SAR ship detection, that exploits label-rich Electro-Optical (EO) images. The proposed method consists of two components: a data augmentation network and a ship detection network. First, we train the data augmentation network based on conditional generative adversarial network (cGAN), which aims to generate additional SAR images from EO images. Since it is trained using unpaired EO and SAR images, we impose the cycle-consistency loss to preserve the structural information while translating the characteristics of the images. After training the data augmentation network, we leverage the augmented dataset constituted with real and translated SAR images to train the ship detection network. The experimental results include qualitative evaluation of the translated SAR images and the comparison of detection performance of the networks, trained with non-augmented and augmented dataset, which demonstrates the effectiveness of the proposed framework.

드레이프는 의상의 외형을 결정하는 요인 중 하나로 섬유·패션 산업에서 매우 중요한 요소 중 하나이다. 코로나 바이러스의 영향으로 비대면 거래가 활성화되고 있는 시점에서, 드레이프값을 요구하는 업체들이 많아지고 있다. 하지만 중소기업이나 영세 기업의 경우, 드레이프를 측정하는 것에 대한 시간과 비용적 부담을 느껴, 드레이프를 측정하는 데에 어려움을 겪고 있다. 따라서 본 연구는 디지털 물성을 측정하여 생성된 3D 시뮬레이션 이미지를 통해 조건부 적대적 생성 신경망을 이용하여 입력된 소재의 물성값에 대한 드레이프 이미지 생성을 목표로 하였다. 기존 보유한 736개의 디지털 물성값을 통해, 드레이프 이미지를 생성하였으며, 이를 모델 학습에 이용하였다. 이후 생성 모델을 통해 나온 이미지 샘플에 대하여 드레이프 값을 계산하였다. 실제 드레이프 실험 값과 생성 드레이프 값 비교결과, 첨두수의 오차는 0.75개였으며, 드레이프값의 평균 오차는 7.875의 오차를 보임을 확인할 수 있었다.

Land use and land cover (LULC) mapping is an important factor in geospatial analysis. Although highly precise ground-based LULC monitoring is possible, it is time consuming and costly. Conversely, because the synthetic aperture radar (SAR) sensor is an all-weather sensor with high resolution, it could replace field-based LULC monitoring systems with low cost and less time requirement. Thus, LULC is one of the major areas in SAR applications. We developed a LULC model using only KOMPSAT-5 single co-polarized data and digital elevation model (DEM) data. Twelve HH-polarized images and 18 VV-polarized images were collected, and two HH-polarized images and four VV-polarized images were selected for the model testing. To train the LULC model, we applied the conditional generative adversarial network (cGAN) method. We used U-Net combined with the residual unit (ResUNet) model to generate the cGAN method. When analyzing the training history at 1732 epochs, the ResUNet model showed a maximum overall accuracy (OA) of 93.89 and a Kappa coefficient of 0.91. The model exhibited high performance in the test datasets with an OA greater than 90. The model accurately distinguished water body areas and showed lower accuracy in wetlands than in the other LULC types. The effect of the DEM on the accuracy of LULC was analyzed. When assessing the accuracy with respect to the incidence angle, owing to the radar shadow caused by the side-looking system of the SAR sensor, the OA tended to decrease as the incidence angle increased. This study is the first to use only KOMPSAT-5 single co-polarized data and deep learning methods to demonstrate the possibility of high-performance LULC monitoring. This study contributes to Earth surface monitoring and the development of deep learning approaches using the KOMPSAT-5 data.

최근 모바일 단말기 및 개인형 컴퓨터의 비약적인 발전과 신경망 기술의 등장으로 영상을 활용한 실시간 안면 교체가 가능해졌다. 특히, 순환 적대적 생성 신경망은 상호 연관성이 없는 이미지 데이터를 활용한 안면 교체가 가능하게 만들었다. 본 논문에서는 적은 학습 데이터와 시간으로 안면 교체의 품질을 높일 수 있는 입력 데이터 처리 기법을 제안한다. 제안 방식은 사전에 학습된 신경망을 통해서 추출된 안면의 특이점 정보와 안면의 구조와 표정에 영향을 미치는 주요 이미지 정보를 결합함으로써 안면 표정과 구조를 보존하면서 이미지 품질을 향상시킬 수 있다. 인공지능 기반의 무참조 품질 메트릭 중의 하나인 blind/referenceless image spatial quality evaluator (BRISQUE) 점수를 활용하여 제안 방식의 성능을 정량적으로 분석하고 기존 방식과 비교한다. 성능 분석 결과에 따르면 제안 방식은 기존 방식 대비 약 4.6%~14.6% 개선된 BRISQUE 점수를 나타내었다.

Purpose: This study proposed a generative adversarial network (GAN) model for T2-weighted image (WI) synthesis from proton density (PD)-WI in a temporomandibular joint(TMJ) magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) protocol. Materials and Methods: From January to November 2019, MRI scans for TMJ were reviewed and 308 imaging sets were collected. For training, 277 pairs of PD- and T2-WI sagittal TMJ images were used. Transfer learning of the pix2pix GAN model was utilized to generate T2-WI from PD-WI. Model performance was evaluated with the structural similarity index map (SSIM) and peak signal-to-noise ratio (PSNR) indices for 31 predicted T2-WI (pT2). The disc position was clinically diagnosed as anterior disc displacement with or without reduction, and joint effusion as present or absent. The true T2-WI-based diagnosis was regarded as the gold standard, to which pT2-based diagnoses were compared using Cohen's ĸ coefficient. Results: The mean SSIM and PSNR values were 0.4781(±0.0522) and 21.30(±1.51) dB, respectively. The pT2 protocol showed almost perfect agreement(ĸ=0.81) with the gold standard for disc position. The number of discordant cases was higher for normal disc position (17%) than for anterior displacement with reduction (2%) or without reduction (10%). The effusion diagnosis also showed almost perfect agreement(ĸ=0.88), with higher concordance for the presence (85%) than for the absence (77%) of effusion. Conclusion: The application of pT2 images for a TMJ MRI protocol useful for diagnosis, although the image quality of pT2 was not fully satisfactory. Further research is expected to enhance pT2 quality.

In this study, we generate future full disk magnetograms in 12, 24, 36 and 48 hours advance from SDO/HMI images using deep learning. To perform this generation, we apply the convolutional generative adversarial network (cGAN) algorithm to a series of SDO/HMI magnetograms. We use SDO/HMI data from 2011 to 2016 for training four models. The models make AI-generated images for 2017 HMI data and compare them with the actual HMI magnetograms for evaluation. The AI-generated images by each model are very similar to the actual images. The average correlation coefficient between the two images for about 600 data sets are about 0.85 for four models. We are examining hundreds of active regions for more detail comparison. In the future we will use pix2pix HD and video2video translation networks for image prediction.

Global map of solar surface magnetic field, such as the synoptic map or daily synchronic frame, does not tell us real-time information about the far side of the Sun. A deep-learning technique based on Conditional Generative Adversarial Network (cGAN) is used to generate farside magnetograms from EUVI $304{\AA}$ of STEREO spacecrafts by training SDO spacecraft's data pairs of HMI and AIA $304{\AA}$. Farside(or backside) data of daily synchronic frames are replaced by the Ai-generated magnetograms. The new type of data is used to calculate the Potential Field Source Surface (PFSS) model. We compare the results of the global field with observations as well as those of the conventional method. We will discuss advantage and disadvantage of the new method and future works.

For the last few years, smart devices have begun to occupy an essential place in the life of children, by allowing them to access a variety of language activities and books. Various studies are being conducted on using smart devices for education. Our study extracts images and texts from kids' book with smart devices and matches the extracted images and texts to create new images that are not represented in these books. The proposed system will enable the use of smart devices as educational media for children. A deep convolutional generative adversarial network (DCGAN) is used for generating a new image. Three steps are involved in training DCGAN. Firstly, images with 11 titles and 1,164 images on ImageNet are learned. Secondly, Tesseract, an optical character recognition engine, is used to extract images and text from kids' book and classify the text using a morpheme analyzer. Thirdly, the classified word class is matched with the latent vector of the image. The learned DCGAN creates an image associated with the text.

Generative adversarial networks (GANs) have reached a great result at creating the synthesis image, especially in the face generation task. Unlike other deep learning tasks, the input of GANs is usually the random vector sampled by a probability distribution, which leads to unstable training and unpredictable output. One way to solve those problems is to employ the label condition in both the generator and discriminator. CelebA and FFHQ are the two most famous datasets for face image generation. While CelebA contains attribute annotations for more than 200,000 images, FFHQ does not have attribute annotations. Thus, in this work, we introduce a method to learn the attributes from CelebA then predict both soft and hard labels for FFHQ. The evaluated result from our model achieves 0.7611 points of the metric is the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve.

최근 성공적인 문법 오류 교정 연구들에는 복잡한 인공신경망 모델이 사용되고 있다. 그러나 이러한 모델을 훈련할 수 있는 공개 데이터는 필요에 비해 부족하여 과적합 문제를 일으킨다. 이 논문에서는 적대적 훈련 방법을 적용해 문법 오류 교정 분야의 과적합 문제를 해결하는 방법을 탐색한다. 모델의 비용을 증가시키는 경사를 이용한 fast gradient sign method(FGSM)와, 인공신경망을 이용해 모델의 비용을 증가시키기 위한 변동을 학습하는 learned perturbation method(LPM)가 실험되었다. 실험 결과, LPM은 모델 훈련에 효과가 없었으나, FGSM은 적대적 훈련을 사용하지 않은 모델보다 높은 F_0.5 성능을 보이는 것이 확인되었다.
