Objective: Iris pattern recognition system is well developed and practiced in human, however, there is a scarcity of information on application of iris recognition system in animals at the field conditions where the major challenge is to capture a high-quality iris image from a constantly moving non-cooperative animal even when restrained properly. The aim of the study was to validate and identify Black Bengal goat biometrically to improve animal management in its traceability system. Methods: Forty-nine healthy, disease free, 3 months±6 days old female Black Bengal goats were randomly selected at the farmer's field. Eye images were captured from the left eye of an individual goat at 3, 6, 9, and 12 months of age using a specialized camera made for human iris scanning. iGoat software was used for matching the same individual goats at 3, 6, 9, and 12 months of ages. Resnet152V2 deep learning algorithm was further applied on same image sets to predict matching percentages using only captured eye images without extracting their iris features. Results: The matching threshold computed within and between goats was 55%. The accuracies of template matching of goats at 3, 6, 9, and 12 months of ages were recorded as 81.63%, 90.24%, 44.44%, and 16.66%, respectively. As the accuracies of matching the goats at 9 and 12 months of ages were low and below the minimum threshold matching percentage, this process of iris pattern matching was not acceptable. The validation accuracies of resnet152V2 deep learning model were found 82.49%, 92.68%, 77.17%, and 87.76% for identification of goat at 3, 6, 9, and 12 months of ages, respectively after training the model. Conclusion: This study strongly supported that deep learning method using eye images could be used as a signature for biometric identification of an individual goat.

인터넷과 웹 기술이 모바일 장치 중심으로 발전하면서 이미지 데이터는 사람, 텍스트, 공간 등 다양한 유형의 민감정보를 담고 있다. 이러한 특성과 더불어 SNS 사용이 증가하면서 온라인 상의 개인정보가 노출되고 악용되는 피해 규모가 커지고 있다. 그러나 개인정보보호를 위한 다중 유형 객체 탐지 기반의 비식별화 기술에 관한 연구는 미흡한 상황이다. 이에 본 논문은 기존의 단일 유형 객체 탐지 모델을 병렬적으로 이용하여 다중 유형의 객체를 탐지 및 비식별화하는 인공지능 모델을 제안한다. Cutmix 기법을 통해 사람과 텍스트 객체가 함께 존재하는 이미지를 생성하여 학습 데이터로 구성하고, 사람과 텍스트라는 다른 특징을 가진 객체에 대한 탐지 및 비식별화를 수행하였다. 제안하는 모델은 두 가지 객체가 동시에 존재할 때 0.724의 precision과 0.745의 mAP@.5 를 달성한다. 또한, 비식별화 수행 후 전체 객체에 대해 mAP@.5 가 0.224로, 0.4 이상의 감소폭을 보였다.

Major deficiencies of current automation scheme including various robots for bioproduction include the lack of task adaptability and real time processing, low job performance for diverse tasks, and the lack of robustness of take results, high system cost, failure of the credit from the operator, and so on. This paper proposed a scheme that could solve the current limitation of task abilities of conventional computer controlled automatic system. The proposed scheme is the man-machine hybrid automation via tele-operation which can handle various bioproduction processes. And it was classified into two categories. One category was the efficient task sharing between operator and CCM(computer controlled machine). The other was the efficient interface between operator and CCM. To realize the proposed concept, task of the object identification and extraction of 3D coordinate of an object was selected. 3D coordinate information was obtained from camera calibration using camera as a measurement device. Two stereo images were obtained by moving a camera certain distance in horizontal direction normal to focal axis and by acquiring two images at different locations. Transformation matrix for camera calibration was obtained via least square error approach using specified 6 known pairs of data points in 2D image and 3D world space. 3D world coordinate was obtained from two sets of image pixel coordinates of both camera images with calibrated transformation matrix. As an interface system between operator and CCM, a touch pad screen mounted on the monitor and remotely captured imaging system were used. Object indication was done by the operator’s finger touch to the captured image using the touch pad screen. A certain size of local image processing area was specified after the touch was made. And image processing was performed with the specified local area to extract desired features of the object. An MS Windows based interface software was developed using Visual C++6.0. The software was developed with four modules such as remote image acquisiton module, task command module, local image processing module and 3D coordinate extraction module. Proposed scheme shoed the feasibility of real time processing, robust and precise object identification, and adaptability of various job and environments though selected sample tasks.

This Paper proposes the tire mold number identification method which reads the letters on a tire surface with 3D. It is very difficult to separate the letters from the background of an image since the letters on a tire surface is an embossed data. There was many studies to read the letters on a tire surface for the factory automation, however, it was very difficult to separate the letters from the background of an image since the letters on a tire surface is embossed black characters on the black ground. In this study, we first developed the method to find the location of tire mold number, which is used to classify the tire size, from the embossed letters on a tire surface using 3-dimensional laser profile camera which is not affected by the lighting condition, then developed the method to separate the mold number from that location. As a result, we were able to contribute to automate the tire size classification which has been manually performed by operators previously.

Palm image acquisition without contact has advantages in user convenience and hygienic issues, but such images generally display more image variations than those acquired employing a contact plate or pegs. Therefore, it is necessary to develop a palmprint identification method which is robust to affine variations. This study proposes a deep learning approach which can effectively identify contactless palmprints. In general, it is very difficult to collect enough volume of palmprint images for training a deep convolutional neural network(DCNN). So we adopted an approach to use a pretrained DCNN. We designed two new DCNNs based on the VGGNet. One combines the VGGNet with SVM. The other add a shallow network on the middle-level of the VGGNet. The experimental results with two public palmprint databases show that the proposed method performs well not only contact-based palmprints but also contactless palmprints.

The maker auto-identification algorithm was programming named KUMAS used Delphi language. For the study, various experiments were conducted for the verification of KUMAS. and compared two systems of established with the KUMAS. Four different motions - cycling, gait, rotation, and pendulum -, were selected and tested. Motions were filmed 30Hz frames rate per second. ${\chi}^2$ used for statistical analysis. Significant level were ${\alpha}=.05$. The test results were as follow. 1. Increased the success ratio of marker auto-identification. 2. The efficiency of marker auto-identification was remarkably improved through marker separation, noise elimination. 3. The marker auto-identification ability was improved in 2D-image plane include the 3D motion. 4. Significant different were found between KUMAS and B-SYS(established system) with non-input the artificial noise frames, input the artificial noise frames and total frames.

With development of information technology and necessity for high security, using different identification methods has become very important. Each biometric feature has its own advantages and disadvantages and choosing each of them depends on our usage. Retinal scanning is a bio scale method for identification. The retina is composed of vessels and optical disk. The vessels distribution pattern is one the remarkable retinal identification methods. In this paper, a new approach is presented for identification via retinal images using LBP and hog methods. In the proposed method, it will be tried to separate the retinal vessels accurately via machine vision techniques which will have good sustainability in rotation and size change. HOG-based or LBP-based methods or their combination can be used for separation and also HSV color space can be used too. Having extracted the features, the similarity criteria can be used for identification. The implementation of proposed method and its comparison with one of the newly-presented methods in this area shows better performance of the proposed method.
