This paper examines the correlations between user characteristics and their perferences for two selected features of Web-based OPAC systems. User characteristics identified in this study were age, gender, educational status, computer skills and OPAC experience. Usability features included interaction styles, character and image on screen, browsing and navigating style, screen layout, and ease of learning, whereas availability features attended to availability of information, quality of information and up-to-date information. Individual variables and features are described, and the correlation between the variables and the features are explored using Pearson's correlation coefficient(r). Although based on a small-scale sample survey, a considerably large number of statistically significant correlations were found between the users' characteristics and the selected evaluation features of interactive Web-based OPACs. From these observations, it seems to be suitable to recommend that system designers should make a more considered appraisal of the users' demographic characteristics in the design of the new generation of OPAC such as in user-tailored interactive Web-based OPAC systems.

본 논문은 말 명료도 기준의 마비말장애 중증도 자동 분류 문제에 초점을 둔다. 말 명료도는 호흡, 발성, 공명, 조음, 운율 등 다양한 말 기능 특징의 영향을 받는다. 그러나 대부분의 선행연구는 한 개의 말 기능 특징만을 중증도 자동분류에 사용하였다. 본 논문에서는 음성의 장애 특성을 효과적으로 포착하기 위해 마비말장애 중증도 자동 분류에서 음질, 운율, 발음의 다양한 말 기능 특징을 반영하고자 하였다. 음질은 jitter, shimmer, HNR, voice breaks 개수, voice breaks 정도로 구성된다. 운율은 발화 속도(전체 길이, 말 길이, 말 속도, 조음 속도), 음높이(F0 평균, 표준편차, 최솟값, 최댓값, 중간값, 25 사분위값, 75 사분위값), 그리고 리듬(% V, deltas, Varcos, rPVIs, nPVIs)을 포함한다. 발음에는 음소 정확도(자음 정확도, 모음 정확도, 전체 음소 정확도)와 모음 왜곡도[VSA(vowel space area), FCR (formant centralized ratio), VAI(vowel articulatory index), F2 비율]가 있다. 본 논문에서는 다양한 특징 조합을 사용하여 중증도 자동 분류를 시행하였다. 실험 결과, 음질, 운율, 발음 특징 세 가지 말 기능 특징 모두를 분류에 사용했을 때 F1-score 80.15%로 가장 높은 성능이 나타났다. 이는 마비말장애 중증도 자동 분류에는 음질, 운율, 발음 특징이 모두 함께 고려되어야 함을 시사한다.

많은 소프트웨어 프로덕트 라인 공학 방법들은 휘처모델을 사용하여 제품들 간의 공통성과 가변성을 휘처 단위로 구조화시키고, 특정 제품 개발을 위해 필요한 휘처 집합인 제품휘처형상을 도출한다. 제품 생산 시에 선택될 휘처는 주로 제품의 요구되는 품질 속성에 의해서 결정된다. 지금까지 발표된 대부분의 방법들은 휘처와 품질속성 간의 선형적 상관관계를 통해 최적의 품질 속성을 만족시킬 수 있는 제품휘처형상을 도출하였다. 하지만, 휘처 간의 상호작용을 고려한다면 휘처와 품질 속성 간의 관계는 비선형식으로 정의될 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 휘처 간의 상호작용을 고려하여 요구되는 품질 속성을 최적으로 만족시킬 수 있는 제품휘처형상 도출 방법을 제안한다. 제안된 방법을 평가하기 위해 네 가지 프로덕트 라인 사례에 대해 실험한다.

Blur is an important type of image distortion. How to evaluate the quality of blurred image accurately and efficiently is a research hotspot in the field of image processing in recent years. Inspired by the multi-scale perceptual characteristics of the human visual system (HVS), this paper presents a no-reference image blur/sharpness assessment method based on multi-scale local features in the spatial domain. First, considering various content has different sensitivity to blur distortion, the image is divided into smooth, edge, and texture regions in blocks. Then, the Gaussian scale space of the image is constructed, and the categorized contrast features between the original image and the Gaussian scale space images are calculated to express the blur degree of different image contents. To simulate the impact of viewing distance on blur distortion, the distribution characteristics of local maximum gradient of multi-resolution images were also calculated in the spatial domain. Finally, the image blur assessment model is obtained by fusing all features and learning the mapping from features to quality scores by support vector regression (SVR). Performance of the proposed method is evaluated on four synthetically blurred databases and one real blurred database. The experimental results demonstrate that our method can produce quality scores more consistent with subjective evaluations than other methods, especially for real burred images.

3DTV is expected to be a promising next-generation broadcasting service. On the other hand, the visual discomfort/fatigue problems caused by viewing 3D videos have become an important issue. This paper proposes a perceptual quality assessment metric for a stereoscopic video (SV-PQAM). To model the SV-PQAM, this paper presents the following features: temporal variance, disparity variation in intra-frames, disparity variation in inter-frames and disparity distribution of frame boundary areas, which affect the human perception of depth and visual discomfort for stereoscopic views. The four features were combined into the SV-PQAM, which then becomes a no-reference stereoscopic video quality perception model, as an objective quality assessment metric. The proposed SV-PQAM does not require a depth map but instead uses the disparity information by a simple estimation. The model parameters were estimated based on linear regression from the mean score opinion values obtained from the subjective perception quality assessments. The experimental results showed that the proposed SV-PQAM exhibits high consistency with subjective perception quality assessment results in terms of the Pearson correlation coefficient value of 0.808, and the prediction performance exhibited good consistency with a zero outlier ratio value.

The semiconductor manufacturing industry is managed by a number of parameters from the FAB which is the initial step of production to package test which is the final step of production. Various methods for prediction for the quality and yield are required to reduce the production costs caused by a complicated manufacturing process. In order to increase the accuracy of quality prediction, we have to extract the significant features from the large amount of data. In this study, we propose the method for extracting feature from the cell level data of probe test process using OPTICS which is one of the density-based clustering to improve the prediction accuracy of the quality of the assembled chips that will be placed in a package test. Two features extracted by using OPTICS are used as input variables of quality prediction model because of having position information of the cell defect. The package test progress for chips classified to the correct quality grade by performing the improved prediction method is expected to bring the effect of reducing production costs.

Power Quality(PQ) problems are various owing to a wide variety of causes so detection and classification of many kinds of PQ problems are awkward. Almost all studies about it were about getting good results by Neural Networks(NN) which get input features from as random variables, FFT and wavelet transform. However they are discontented with results because it is very difficult to classify all PQ items. A study about feature extraction becomes needed. Thus, this paper suggests effective way of using principle Component Analysis (PCA) for PQ Problem classification. PCA found more effective features among all features so it will help us to get more good result of classification.

As consumption of high-quality fruits increases and sales and packaging units become smaller, the demand for automatic fruit grading systems is increasing. Compared to other crops, the quality of fruit is determined by visual characteristics such as shape, color, and scratches, rather than just physical size and weight. Accordingly, this study presents a CNN model that can effectively extract and classify the visual features of fruits and a perceptron that classifies fruits using physical features, and proposes a stacking ensemble model that can effectively combine the classification results of these two neural networks. The experiments with AI Hub public data show that the stacking ensemble model is effective for grading fruits. However, the ensemble model does not always improve the performance of classifying all the fruit grading. So, it is necessary to adapt the model according to the kind of fruit.

화질 평가 방법은 그동안 많은 방법이 소개되어 왔다. 특히 우수한 성능을 보여주는 무참조 평가에서 기법에서 발전이 지속되어 왔다. 본 논문에서는 쉬어렛 영역에서 자연영상의 통계적 특성에 기반한 무참조 영상화질 평가 방법을 제안한다. 제안 방법은 쉬어릿 계수의 통계 특성으로부터 왜곡에 민감한 특징을 추출한다. 쉬어렛 변환의 복소수 계수로부터 위상과 크기 특징을 얻어낸다. 또한 쉬어렛 변환은 다양한 스케일로 영상을 분석할 수 있기 때문에, 스케일간의 계수의 의존성에 대한 왜곡의 영향을 분석한다. 화질 예측을 위해서 특징들은 SVM(support vector machine)을 이용하여 영상 왜곡 분류 및 화질 예측에 활용된다. 실험결과는 제안 방법이 주관적 평가와의 높은 상관도를 보여주고, 또한 기존 참조 및 무참조 방법보다 우수한 성능을 보여준다.
