디지털 방송, 웹의 발전으로 내용 기반 검색, 비디오 인덱싱, 비디오 검색 등의 시스템들이 많이 연구, 개발되고 있으며, 이러한 시스템에서는 사람을 주제로 검색하는 요구가 많이 발생한다. 대부분의 얼굴 영역 추출 및 인식 시스템들은 질감, 모양, 움직임, 칼라 등의 특징들을 이용하는데, 이들 중 칼라 특징은 기존 시스템의 첫 번째 처리 단계에서 많이 사용된다. 하지만, 복잡한 배경, 조명, 화장(make up), 잡영들 때문에 미리 정의된 단일 칼라 임계값을 이용하여 얼굴 영역과 비 얼굴 영역으로 구분하면 정확한 추출 결과를 얻기 힘들다는 문제가 있다. 본 논문에서는, 점진적으로 피부색 영역을 확장시키면서 얼굴 영역을 추출하는 방법을 제안한다. 이때 확장 단계에서 얼굴 영역을 판단하기 위해, 일굴 각 기관들의 위치적 정보를 사용하였다. 얼굴 기관은 눈과 입을 사용했는데, 여러 가지 요인으로 인해 이들을 정확하게 추출하기가 어렵기 때문에, 각 단계에서 얼굴 후보 영역 내부의 수평 방향성을 가지는 경계를 눈과 입의 영역으로 간주했다. 실험을 통해, 제안한 방법이 하이라이트(highlight)에 의해 얼굴 영역의 일부가 왜곡된 경우와 얼굴 영역이 피부색과 유사한 배경에 인접해 있는 경우에 대해서도 강인하게 얼굴 영역을 추출할 수 있음을 확인하였다.

This paper introduces a mixture of background subtraction technique and K-Means clustering algorithm for removing shadows from video sequences. Lighting conditions cause an issue with segmentation. The proposed method can successfully eradicate artifacts associated with lighting changes such as highlight and reflection, and cast shadows of moving object from segmentation. In this paper, K-Means clustering algorithm is applied to the foreground, which is initially fragmented by background subtraction technique. The estimated shadow region is then superimposed on the background to eliminate the effects that cause redundancy in object detection. Simulation results depict that the proposed approach is capable of removing shadows and reflections from moving objects with an accuracy of more than 95% in every cases considered.

In this paper, a novel text binarization is presented that can deal with some complex conditions, such as shadows, non-uniform illumination due to highlight or object projection, and messy backgrounds. To locate the target text region, a focus line is assumed to pass through a text region. Next, connected component analysis and stroke width estimation based on location information of the focus line is used to locate the bounding box of the text region, and each box of connected components. A series of classifications are applied to identify whether each CC(Connected component) is text or non-text. Also, a modified K-means clustering method based on an HCL color space is applied to reduce the color dimension. A text binarization procedure based on location of text component and seed color pixel is then used to generate the final result.

비디오 하이라이트 요약을 위해 내용기반에 의한 의미 있는 이벤트의 검출 방법에 대해 논하였다. 제안된 방법은 비디오 파싱을 포함한 5개의 단계로 구성 되었고, 다수의 기술자가 하위 레벨 특징들의 추출과 정확한 이벤트 검출을 위해 사용 되었다. 특징의 추출에 사용하는 샷과 키 프레임은 이벤트 검출에 힌트가 되는 부분만 사용함으로써 계산 복잡도를 줄였다. 각 샷은 사전에 정의된 추론 방법에 의해 요소가 부여되고, 이들 샷들의 의미를 통합하여 하나의 이벤트가 구성 된다.

In this paper, we present a survey of security and privacy preserving issues in M2M communications in Cyber-Physical Systems. First, we discuss the security challenges in M2M communications in wireless networks of Cyber-Physical Systems and outline the constraints, attack issues, and a set of challenges that need to be addressed for building secure Cyber-Physical Systems. Then, a secure architecture suitable for Cyber-Physical Systems is proposed to cope with these security issues. Eventually, the corresponding countermeasures to the security issues are discussed from four aspects: access control, intrusion detection, authentication and privacy preserving, respectively. Along the way we highlight the advantages and disadvantages of various existing security schemes and further compare and evaluate these schemes from each of these four aspects. We also point out the open research issues in each subarea and conclude with possible future research directions on security in Cyber-Physical Systems. It is believed that once these challenges are surmounted, applications with intrinsic security considerations will become immediately realizable.

One of the most important inventions and developments in the digital world today is the healthcare system based on blockchain technology. Healthcare is an important field that requires the application of security mechanisms due to the sensitivity of patient data. The association of blockchain with healthcare contributed to achieving better security mechanisms than the traditional approach. The new approach operates in a decentralized system, which in turn, improves security in the healthcare environment. Consequently, blockchain technology has emerged as one of the most crucial solutions to security violations and challenges in the healthcare industry. This paper provides a comprehensive review of several experts' recent protection and detection approaches in this domain. It is also imperative to note that the paper focuses only on the recent techniques that have been published during 2017-2020. The sophisticated procedures have been investigated and discussed in terms of similarities and differences to highlight the significance of the protection needed to secure the healthcare environment.

We report on a series of science articles presented in the Children's magazine 고래가그랬어. The monthly articles (appearing since 2016) highlight current issues in Physics and Astronomy with particular emphasis on science being conducted in Korea. Reporting is performed by interviewing experts in their respective fields. In an effort to encourage children to envisage themselves as scientists, interviews are taken predominantly from Korean early-career researchers. Gender balance is obtained through a careful selection of interviewees ensuring that children are exposed to a broad cross-section of science researchers. This series has introduced children to the 1st detection of Gravitational Waves, the KMTnet telescope system, the Korean Very Long Baseline Interferometric Network, KGMT, IBS Axion experiments, and many other experiments and discoveries.

본 연구에서는 비디오 하이라이트 검출 및 장면 추출을 위한 경량화된 모델인 Visual Context Learner (VCL)을 제안한다. 기존 연구에서는 매개변수가 고정된 CLIP을 비롯한 여러 피쳐 추출기에 학습 가능한 DETR과 같은 트랜스포머를 이어붙여서 학습을 한다. 하지만 본 연구는 경량화된 구조로 하이라이트 검출 성능을 개선시킬 수 있음을 보인다. 그리고 해당 형태로 장면 추출도 가능함을 보이며 장면 추출의 추가 연구 가능성을 시사한다. VCL은 매개변수가 고정된 CLIP에 학습가능한 프롬프트와 MLP로 하이라이트 검출과 장면 추출을 진행한다. 총 2,141개의 학습가능한 매개변수를 사용하여 하이라이트 검출의 HIT@1(>=Very Good) 성능을 기존 CLIP보다 2.71% 개선된 성능과 최소한의 장면 추출 성능을 보인다.

Weakly supervised object localization (WSOL) is a task of localizing an object in an image using only image-level labels. Previous studies have followed the conventional class activation mapping (CAM) pipeline. However, we reveal the current CAM approach suffers from problems which cause original CAM could not capture the complete defects features. This work utilizes a convolutional neural network (CNN) pretrained on image-level labels to generate class activation maps in a multi-scale manner to highlight discriminative regions. Additionally, a vision transformer (ViT) pretrained was treated to produce multi-head attention maps as an auxiliary detector. By integrating the CNN-based CAMs and attention maps, our approach localizes defective regions without requiring bounding box or pixel-level supervision during training. We evaluate our approach on a dataset of apple images with only image-level labels of defect categories. Experiments demonstrate our proposed method aligns with several Object Detection models performance, hold a promise for improving localization.

Robotic grasping in unstructured environments poses a significant challenge, demanding precise estimation of gripping positions for diverse and unknown objects. Generative Grasping Convolution Neural Network (GG-CNN) can estimate the position and direction that can be gripped by a robot gripper for an unknown object based on a three-dimensional depth map. Since GG-CNN uses only a depth map as an input, the precision of the depth map is the most critical factor affecting the result. To address the challenge of depth map precision, we integrate the Segment Anything Model renowned for its robust zero-shot performance across various segmentation tasks. We adjust the components corresponding to the segmented areas in the depth map aligned through external calibration. The proposed method was validated on the Cornell dataset and SurgicalKit dataset. Quantitative analysis compared to existing methods showed a 49.8% improvement with the dataset including surgical instruments. The results highlight the practical importance of our approach, especially in scenarios involving thin and metallic objects.
