Crop type classification is essential for supporting agricultural decisions and resource monitoring. Remote sensing techniques, especially using hyperspectral imagery, have been effective in agricultural applications. Hyperspectral imagery acquires contiguous and narrow spectral bands in a wide range. However, large dimensionality results in unreliable estimates of classifiers and high computational burdens. Therefore, reducing the dimensionality of hyperspectral imagery is necessary. In this study, the Random Forest (RF) classifier was utilized for dimensionality reduction as well as classification purpose. RF is an ensemble-learning algorithm created based on the Classification and Regression Tree (CART), which has gained attention due to its high classification accuracy and fast processing speed. The RF performance for crop classification with airborne hyperspectral imagery was assessed. The study area was the cultivated area in Chogye-myeon, Habcheon-gun, Gyeongsangnam-do, South Korea, where the main crops are garlic, onion, and wheat. Parameter optimization was conducted to maximize the classification accuracy. Then, the dimensionality reduction was conducted based on RF variable importance. The result shows that using the selected bands presents an excellent classification accuracy without using whole datasets. Moreover, a majority of selected bands are concentrated on visible (VIS) region, especially region related to chlorophyll content. Therefore, it can be inferred that the phenological status after the mature stage influences red-edge spectral reflectance.

본 논문에서는 최근 관심이 증가하고 있는 축구 경기 MPEG 비디오에서 정면이 변하는 부분을 검출하고 동일한 의미의 장면들을 분류하는 기술을 제안한다. MPEG 비디오에서 디코딩 과정을 거치지 않고 직접 에지(edge) 정보와 색상 분포 정보를 추출하여 적은 연산량으로 장면 전환 검출의 정확성을 높이고, 검출된 결과를 기반으로 샷(shot)을 특징 지울 수 있는 특정 색상들과 에지 정보를 이용해서 축구 MPEG 비디오내의 장면들을 내용적으로 분류한다. 제안한 방법은 카메라 움직임으로 발생하는 글러벌 모션의 변화에 대해서도 효과적으로 장면 전환을 검출하고 의미적으로 유사한 샷들에 대하여 장면 분류를 수행하는 결과를 확인하였다.

We propose a method based on EdgeConv and densely connected layers to aggregate the features for better classification. Our proposed approach shows significant performance improvement compared to the state-of-the-art deep neural network-based approaches.

We propose a FPGA based design that performs real-time power-efficient analysis of heterogeneous sensor data using adaptive ANN on edge gateway of smart military wearables. In this work, four independent ANN classifiers are developed with optimum topologies. Out of which human activity, BP and toxic gas classifier are multiclass and ECG classifier is binary. These classifiers are later integrated into a single adaptive ANN hardware with a select line(s) that switches the hardware architecture as per the sensor type. Five versions of adaptive ANN with different precisions have been synthesized into IP cores. These IP cores are implemented and tested on Xilinx Artix-7 FPGA using Microblaze test system and LabVIEW based sensor simulators. The hardware analysis shows that the adaptive ANN even with 8-bit precision is the most efficient IP core in terms of hardware resource utilization and power consumption without compromising much on classification accuracy. This IP core requires only 31 microseconds for classification by consuming only 12 milliwatts of power. The proposed adaptive ANN design saves 61% to 97% of different FPGA resources and 44% of power as compared with the independent implementations. In addition, 96.87% to 98.75% of data throughput reduction is achieved by this edge gateway.

This study explores an alternative to the existing centralized process for data anomaly detection in modern Internet of Things (IoT)-based structural health monitoring (SHM) systems. An edge intelligence framework is proposed for the early detection and classification of various data anomalies facilitating quality enhancement of acquired data before transmitting to a central system. State-of-the-art deep neural network pruning techniques are investigated and compared aiming to significantly reduce the network size so that it can run efficiently on resource-constrained edge devices such as wireless smart sensors. Further, depthwise separable convolution (DSC) is invoked, the integration of which with advanced structural pruning methods exhibited superior compression capability. Last but not least, quantization-aware training (QAT) is adopted for faster processing and lower memory and power consumption. The proposed edge intelligence framework will eventually lead to reduced network overload and latency. This will enable intelligent self-adaptation strategies to be employed to timely deal with a faulty sensor, minimizing the wasteful use of power, memory, and other resources in wireless smart sensors, increasing efficiency, and reducing maintenance costs for modern smart SHM systems. This study presents a theoretical foundation for the proposed framework, the validation of which through actual field trials is a scope for future work.

In this paper, we proposed a postprocessing algorithm for quantization effects reduction in block coded images using the block classification and adaptive filtering. The proposed method consists of classification, adaptive inter-block filtering, and intra-block filtering. First, each block is classified into one of seven classes based on the characteristics of 8${\times}$8 DCT coefficients. Then each block boundary is filtered by adaptive inter-block filters according to the block classification. Finally for blocks which are classified into edge block, intra-block filtering is peformed. Experimental results show that the proposed method gives better results than the conventional methods from both a subjective and an objective viewpoint.

It is important to extract salient object image and to solve the invariance problem for image recognition. In this paper we propose a new hybrid algorithm for invariance and improved classification performance in image recognition, whose algorithm is combined by FT(Frequency-tuned Salient Region Detection) algorithm, Guided filter, Zernike moments, and a simple artificial neural network (Multi-layer Perceptron). The conventional FT algorithm is used to extract initial salient object image, the guided filtering to preserve edge details, Zernike moments to solve invariance problem, and a classification to recognize the extracted image. For guided filtering, guided filter is used, and Multi-layer Perceptron which is a simple artificial neural networks is introduced for classification. Experimental results show that this algorithm can achieve a superior performance in the process of extracting salient object image and invariant moment feature. And the results show that the algorithm can also classifies the extracted object image with improved recognition rate.

본 논문은 새로운 에지 방향 추정 방법과 영상의 영역 세분화에 기반을 둔 컬러 보간 알고리즘을 제안한다. 제안하는 에지 방향 추정은 컬러 필터 배열(color filter array: CFA)의 채널 별 분리와 표본 줄임(down-sampling)을 통해 획득한 영상 사이에 존재하는 에지 방향성 상관관계를 바탕으로 이루어진다. 에지 방향성 상관관계는 영상 간의 샘플링 위치와 각 영상의 국부위치에서의 에지 방향성 사이에 존재하는 방향의 유사성을 바탕으로 정의한다. 영상의 영역을 분류함에 있어서 평탄, 에지 영역뿐만 아니라 반복되는 에지가 나타나는 패턴 에지 영역을 구분함으로써 영역을 세분화 한다. 이렇게 구분한 영역 각각에 대해 수직 혹은 수평 방향 에지를 검출하여 에지 방향에 따라 보간함으로써 오류를 최소화 하는 에지 방향성 컬러 보간이 이루어진다. 실험 결과를 통해 제안하는 방법이 기존 방법에 비해 수치적인 면과 시각적인 면에서 뛰어난 결과를 보임을 확인할 수 있으며, 제안하는 영역 세분화와 에지 방향 추정을 통해 영상의 고주파 영역에서 성능이 향상됨을 확인할 수 있다.
