We have applied an advanced multi-aperture indexing photometry and sophisticated de-trending method to existing Taiwanese-American Occultation Survey (TAOS) data sets. TAOS, a wide-field ($3^{\circ}{\times}3^{\circ}$) and rapid photometry (5Hz) survey, is designed to detect small objects in the Kuiper Belt. Since TAOS has fast and multiple exposures per zipper mode image, point spread function (PSF) varies in a given image. Selecting appropriate aperture among various size apertures allows us to reflect these variations in each light curve. The survey data turned out to contain various trends such as telescope vibration, CCD noise, and unstable local weather. We select multiple sets of stars using a hierarchical clustering algorithm in such a way that the light curves in each cluster show strong correlations between them. We then determine a primary trend (PT) per cluster using a weighted sum of the normalized light curves, and we use the constructed PTs to remove trends in individual light curves. After removing the trend, we can get each synthetic light curve of star that has much higher signal-to-noise ratio. We compare the efficiency of the synthetic light curves with the efficiency of light curves made by previous existing photometry pipelines. Our photometric method is able to restore subtle brightness variation that tends to be missed in conventional aperture photometric methods, and can be applied to other wide-field surveys suffering from PSF variations and trends. We are developing an analysis package for the next generation TAOS survey (TAOS II) based on the current experiments.

As multimedia information is spread over cyber networks, problems such as protection of legal rights and original proof of an information owner raise recently. Various image transformations of DCT, DFT and DWT have been used to embed a watermark as a token of ownership. Recently, SVD being used in the field of numerical analysis is additionally applied to the watermarking methods. A watermarking method is proposed in this paper using Gabor cosine and sine transform as well as SVD for embedding and extraction of watermarks for digital images. After delivering attacks such as noise addition, space transformation, filtering and compression on watermarked images, watermark extraction algorithm is performed using the proposed GCST-SVD method. Normalized correlation values are calculated to measure the similarity between embedded watermark and extracted one as the index of watermark performance. Also visual inspection for the extracted watermark images has been done. Watermark images are inserted into the lowest vertical ac frequency band. From the experimental results, the proposed watermarking method using the singular vectors of SVD shows large correlation values of 0.9 or more and visual features of an embedded watermark for various attacks.

For each character constituting learning data, different fonts are added in pixel unit to create MASK, and then pixel values belonging to the MASK are divided into three groups. The experimental data are modified into skeletal forms, and then regional boundary operation is used to create a boundary that distinguishes the background region adjacent to the skeleton of the character from the background of the modified experimental data. Discordance values between the modified experimental data and the MASKs are calculated, and then the MASK with the minimum value is found. This MASK is selected as a finally recognized result for the given experiment data. The recognition algorithm using skeleton of the character and the regional boundary operation can easily extend the learning data set by adding new fonts to the given learning data, and also it is simple to implement, and high character recognition rate can be obtained.

Nowadays, the demand for multimedia services has grown with the rapid evolution in the digital era. But due to external causes in the process of processing, transmitting and storing image data, the images are damaged. One of the major causes of such damage is known to be noise. Some of the most commonly used methods for removing noise are CWMF(center weighted median filter), A-TMF(alpha-trimmed mean filter) and AWMF(adaptive weighted median filter). However, these filters all leave a bit to be desired in removing noise in a complex noise environment. Therefore this paper suggest an image restoration filter algorithm that first judges the noise and sets a adjustment weight based on the median value and distance of the mask to remove the complex noise. For an objective analysis, the results were compared against existing methods and the PSNR(peak signal to noise ratio) was used as a reference.

With the development of imaging information communication technology in modern society, imaging acquisition and mass production technology have developed rapidly. However, crime rates using these technology are increased and forensic studies are conducted to prevent it. Identification techniques for image acquisition devices are studied a lot, but the field is limited to images. In this paper, camera model identification technique for video, not image is proposed. We analyzed video frames using the trained model with images. Through training and analysis by considering the frame characteristics of video, we showed the superiority of the model using the P frame. Then, we presented a video camera model identification system by applying a majority-based decision algorithm. In the experiment using 5 video camera models, we obtained maximum 96.18% accuracy for each frame identification and the proposed video camera model identification system achieved 100% identification rate for each camera model.

As the Internet develops and the utilization rate of computers increases, the threats posed by malware keep increasing. This leads to the demand for a system to automatically analyzes a large amount of malware. In this paper, an automatic malware analysis technique using a deep learning algorithm is introduced. Our proposed method uses CNN (Convolutional Neural Network) to analyze the malicious features represented as images. To reflect semantic information of malware for detection, our method uses the opcode frequency data of binary for image generation, rather than using bytes of binary. As a result of the experiments using the datasets consisting of 20,000 samples, it was found that the proposed method can detect malicious codes with 91% accuracy.

In Seoul, about 75,000 CCTVs are installed in 25 district offices. Each ward office has built a control center for CCTV control and is performing 24-hour CCTV video control for the safety of citizens. Seoul Metropolitan Government is building a smart city integrated platform that is safe for citizens by providing CCTV images of the ward office to enable rapid response to emergency/emergency situations by signing an MOU with related organizations. In this paper, when an incident occurs at the Seoul Metropolitan Government Office, the escape route is predicted by discriminating people and vehicles using the AI DNN-based Template Matching technology, MLP algorithm and CNN-based YOLO SPP DNN model for CCTV images. In addition, it is designed to automatically disseminate image information and situation information to adjacent ward offices when vehicles and people escape from the competent ward office. The escape route prediction and tracking system using artificial intelligence can expand the smart city integrated platform nationwide.

With the increasing number of aging buildings across Korea, emerging maintenance technologies have surged. One such technology is the non-contact detection of concrete cracks via thermal images. This study aims to develop a technique that can accurately predict the depth of a crack by analyzing the temperature difference between the crack part and the normal part in the thermal image of the concrete. The research obtained temperature data through thermal imaging experiments and constructed a big data set including outdoor variables such as air temperature, illumination, and humidity that can influence temperature differences. Based on the collected data, the team designed an algorithm for learning and predicting the crack depth using machine learning. Initially, standardized crack specimens were used in experiments, and the big data was updated by specimens similar to actual cracks. Finally, a crack depth prediction technology was implemented using five regression analysis algorithms for approximately 24,000 data points. To confirm the practicality of the development technique, crack simulators with various shapes were added to the study.
