Video services over Internet is getting important. Since the service quality of the video service provided by streaming over Internet may be degraded, the quality assessment and management are very important. Currently the objective method based on the measured values of parameters is being widely used for video services. The subjective assessment, however, is more ideal in that the quality that is experienced by human. This paper, therefore, proposes a subjective quality management scheme for video service in a mobile environment that overcomes the limitations of the subjective method. The proposed scheme is expected to contribute to implement a more efficient quality management system for video services in a mobile environment.

Monitoring civil structures periodically is necessary for ensuring the fitness of the structures. Cracks on inner and outer surfaces of the building plays a vital role in indicating the health of the building. Conventionally, human visual inspection techniques were carried up to human reachable altitudes. Monitoring of high rise infrastructures cannot be done using this primitive method. Also, there is a necessity for more accurate prediction of cracks on building surfaces for ensuring the health and safety of the building. The proposed research focused on developing an efficient crack classification model using Transfer Learning enabled EfficientNet (TL-EN) architecture. Though many other pre-trained models were available for crack classification, they rely on more number of training parameters for better accuracy. The TL-EN model attained an accuracy of 0.99 with less number of parameters on large dataset. A bench marked METU dataset with 40000 images were used to test and validate the proposed model. The surfaces of high rise buildings were investigated using vision enabled Unmanned Arial Vehicles (UAV). These UAV is fabricated with TL-EN model schema for capturing and analyzing the real time streaming video of building surfaces.

인터넷 및 IT 기술의 발전과 더불어 미디어산업에도 큰 변화가 일어나고 있다. TV 를 대신하여 스트리밍 서비스를 이용하는 사람들이 늘고 있으며 SNS 를 활용하여 서로의 경험을 간접적으로 공유하는 형태의 새로운 문화 컨텐츠가 자리잡아가고 있다. 하지만 이러한 컨텐츠를 소비하는 주요 계층 중에는 초중고 학생들도 포함되어 있다. 인터넷 혹은 SNS 에서 소비되는 컨텐츠들을 관리 감독하는 컨트롤 타워가 부족하거나 전무하기 때문에 폭력, 음주, 흡연 등 사회적으로 악영향을 줄 수 있는 영상 또는 사진이 무분별하게 생산되어 청소년들에 의해 소비되고 있으며 더 나아가 이것이 사회적 문제로까지 대두되고 있다. 이러한 문제를 해결하기 위해 인공지능 기술을 활용한 여러 다양한 감시 시스템 개발을 위한 연구가 한창이다. 본 연구에서는 SNS 및 스트리밍 서비스에서 제공되는 영상 및 사진을 Pose Estimation 및 표정 인식 기술을 활용하여 폭력을 자동적으로 감지할 수 있는 폭력 감지 시스템을 개발하는데 그 목적이 있다.

The traditional broadcasting services over terrestrial, satellite and cable media have been unidirectional mass media regardless of TV viewer's preferences. Recently ich media streaming has become possible via the broadb and networks. Furthermore, since bidirectional communication is possible, personalcasting such as personalized streaming services has been emerging by taking into account the user's preference on content genres, viewing times and actors/actresses etc. Accordingly, personal media becomes an important means for content provision service in addition to the traditional broadcasting service as mass media. In this paper, we introduce a user profile reasoning method for target advertisement which is considered an important application in personalcasting service. The proposed user profile reasoning method predicts an unknown TV viewer's gender and ages by analyzing TV Viewing history data. Based on the estimated user's gender and ages, a target advertisement is provided with TV Anytime metadata. A proposed target advertisement system is developed based on the user profile reasoning and the target advertisement selection method. To show the effectiveness of our proposed methods, we present a plenty of experimental results by using realistic TV viewing history data.

Unlike conventional DVB-T transmission with the streaming method, DVB-H system based on the IPDC(IP Data Casting) method uses Time-slicing scheme to achieve the maximization of portability by reducing the power consumption of a receiver. To enhance the power efficiency of the receiver, Time-slicing scheme controls the receiver operation to perform only for corresponding burst in specific time slot. The additional power saving can also be achieved by reducing the required time for synchronization. In this paper, we propose a fast scattered pilot synchronization algorithm, which detects the pilot pattern of currently received OFDM symbol. The proposed scheme is based on the correlation between the adjacent subcarriers of potential scattered pilot position in two consecutively received OFDM symbols. Therefore, it can reduce the time for the scattered pilot synchronization within two symbols as com-pared with the conventional method used for DVB-T. And the proposed algorithm has better performance than the two schemes proposed by Nokia for DVB-H and the method using correlation with reference signal. Extensive com-puter simulation is performed based on ETSI EN300 744 ETSI and performance results show that the proposed algorithm has more efficient and stable operation than the conventional schemes.

Self-potential (SP) is sensitive to groundwater flow and there are many causes to generate SP. Among many mechanisms of SP, pore-fluid flow in porous media can generate potential without any external current source, which is referred to as electrokinetic potential or streaming potential. When calculating SP responses on the surface due to geothermal fluid within an engineered geothermal system (EGS) reservoir, SP anomaly is usually considered to be generated by fluid injection or production within the reservoir. However, SP anomaly can also result from geothermal water fluid within EGS reservoirs experiencing temperature changes between injection and production wells. For more precise simulation of SP responses, we developed an algorithm being able to take account of SP anomalies produced by not only water injection and production but also the fluid of geothermal water, based on three-dimensional finite-element-method employing tetrahedron elements; the developed algorithm can simulate electrical potential responses by both point source and volume source. After verifying the developed algorithm, we assumed a simple geothermal reservoir model and analyzed SP responses caused by geothermal water injection and production. We are going to further analyze SP responses for geothermal water in the presence of water production and injection, considering temperature distribution and geothermal water flow in the following research.

In this paper, we introduce our experience for designing and implementing a media manager in the Integrated Streaming Service Architecture (ISSA) developed by the authors. The media manager is regarded as a necessary module in the ISSA framework for the following reasons. It realizes that from which locations of the media source devices, the media streams are coming. Once it knows where the origin is, the media manager should recognizes what types of stream are. After that, it performs how to chose an appropriate CODEC to handle the recognized input streams efficiently, and what type of media playback device should be selected. In order to do such a job efficiently, the proposed media manager consists of two modules source module and sink module. The major role of a media source module is to make an abstraction for the media streams that are coming from various types of media device. This, in consequence, enables a media manager to consistently handle tlle media streams without considering wherever they come from. On the other hand, the media sink module distributes the input streams to an appropriate media device to playback. One of the remarkable virtues of the proposed media manager is an ability to supporting high value-added database services since it provides an interface between the ISSA and real-time multimedia database. Also, it provides the RTP!RTSP source filter and Winamp gateway modules which allow the flexibility to the system. Moreover, the media manager can adopt any types of new media which in fact will provide scalability to the ISSA.
