수면 호흡음을 이용한 폐쇄성 수면 무호흡 중증도 분류

학위논문 (박사)-- 서울대학교 융합과학기술대학원 융합과학부, 2017. 8. 이교구.Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a common sleep disorder. The symptom has a high prevalence and increases mortality as a risk factor for hypertension and stroke. Sleep disorders occur during sleep, making it difficult for patients to self-perceive themselves, and the actual diagnosis rate is low. Despite the existence of a standard sleep study called a polysomnography (PSG), it is difficult to diagnose the sleep disorders due to complicated test procedures and high medical cost burdens. Therefore, there is an increasing demand for an effective and rational screening test that can determine whether or not to undergo a PSG. In this thesis, we conducted three studies to classify the snoring sounds and OSA severity using only breathing sounds during sleep without additional biosensors. We first identified the classification possibility of snoring sounds related to sleep disorders using the features based on the cyclostationary analysis. Then, we classified the patients OSA severity with the features extracted using temporal and cyclostationary analysis from long-term sleep breathing sounds. Finally, the partial sleep sound extraction, and feature learning process using a convolutional neural network (CNN, or ConvNet) were applied to improve the efficiency and performance of previous snoring sound and OSA severity classification tasks. The sleep breathing sound analysis method using a CNN showed superior classification accuracy of more than 80% (average area under curve > 0.8) in multiclass snoring sounds and OSA severity classification tasks. The proposed analysis and classification method is expected to be used as a screening tool for improving the efficiency of PSG in the future customized healthcare service.Chapter 1.

Symmetry-Adapted Machine Learning for Information Security

Symmetry-adapted machine learning has shown encouraging ability to mitigate the security risks in information and communication technology (ICT) systems. It is a subset of artificial intelligence (AI) that relies on the principles of processing future events by learning past events or historical data. The autonomous nature of symmetry-adapted machine learning supports effective data processing and analysis for security detection in ICT systems without the interference of human authorities. Many industries are developing machine-learning-adapted solutions to support security for smart hardware, distributed computing, and the cloud. In our Special Issue book, we focus on the deployment of symmetry-adapted machine learning for information security in various application areas. This security approach can support effective methods to handle the dynamic nature of security attacks by extraction and analysis of data to identify hidden patterns of data. The main topics of this Issue include malware classification, an intrusion detection system, image watermarking, color image watermarking, battlefield target aggregation behavior recognition model, IP camera, Internet of Things (IoT) security, service function chain, indoor positioning system, and crypto-analysis

Neuron-level dynamics of oscillatory network structure and markerless tracking of kinematics during grasping

Oscillatory synchrony is proposed to play an important role in flexible sensory-motor transformations. Thereby, it is assumed that changes in the oscillatory network structure at the level of single neurons lead to flexible information processing. Yet, how the oscillatory network structure at the neuron-level changes with different behavior remains elusive. To address this gap, we examined changes in the fronto-parietal oscillatory network structure at the neuron-level, while monkeys performed a flexible sensory-motor grasping task. We found that neurons formed separate subnetworks in the low frequency and beta bands. The beta subnetwork was active during steady states and the low frequency network during active states of the task, suggesting that both frequencies are mutually exclusive at the neuron-level. Furthermore, both frequency subnetworks reconfigured at the neuron-level for different grip and context conditions, which was mostly lost at any scale larger than neurons in the network. Our results, therefore, suggest that the oscillatory network structure at the neuron-level meets the necessary requirements for the coordination of flexible sensory-motor transformations. Supplementarily, tracking hand kinematics is a crucial experimental requirement to analyze neuronal control of grasp movements. To this end, a 3D markerless, gloveless hand tracking system was developed using computer vision and deep learning techniques. 2021-11-3

Enabling the Development and Implementation of Digital Twins : Proceedings of the 20th International Conference on Construction Applications of Virtual Reality

Welcome to the 20th International Conference on Construction Applications of Virtual Reality (CONVR 2020). This year we are meeting on-line due to the current Coronavirus pandemic. The overarching theme for CONVR2020 is "Enabling the development and implementation of Digital Twins". CONVR is one of the world-leading conferences in the areas of virtual reality, augmented reality and building information modelling. Each year, more than 100 participants from all around the globe meet to discuss and exchange the latest developments and applications of virtual technologies in the architectural, engineering, construction and operation industry (AECO). The conference is also known for having a unique blend of participants from both academia and industry. This year, with all the difficulties of replicating a real face to face meetings, we are carefully planning the conference to ensure that all participants have a perfect experience. We have a group of leading keynote speakers from industry and academia who are covering up to date hot topics and are enthusiastic and keen to share their knowledge with you. CONVR participants are very loyal to the conference and have attended most of the editions over the last eighteen editions. This year we are welcoming numerous first timers and we aim to help them make the most of the conference by introducing them to other participants

Variational methods and its applications to computer vision

Many computer vision applications such as image segmentation can be formulated in a ''variational'' way as energy minimization problems. Unfortunately, the computational task of minimizing these energies is usually difficult as it generally involves non convex functions in a space with thousands of dimensions and often the associated combinatorial problems are NP-hard to solve. Furthermore, they are ill-posed inverse problems and therefore are extremely sensitive to perturbations (e.g. noise). For this reason in order to compute a physically reliable approximation from given noisy data, it is necessary to incorporate into the mathematical model appropriate regularizations that require complex computations. The main aim of this work is to describe variational segmentation methods that are particularly effective for curvilinear structures. Due to their complex geometry, classical regularization techniques cannot be adopted because they lead to the loss of most of low contrasted details. In contrast, the proposed method not only better preserves curvilinear structures, but also reconnects some parts that may have been disconnected by noise. Moreover, it can be easily extensible to graphs and successfully applied to different types of data such as medical imagery (i.e. vessels, hearth coronaries etc), material samples (i.e. concrete) and satellite signals (i.e. streets, rivers etc.). In particular, we will show results and performances about an implementation targeting new generation of High Performance Computing (HPC) architectures where different types of coprocessors cooperate. The involved dataset consists of approximately 200 images of cracks, captured in three different tunnels by a robotic machine designed for the European ROBO-SPECT project.Open Acces

Automated assessment of echocardiographic image quality using deep convolutional neural networks

Myocardial ischemia tops the list of causes of death around the globe, but its diagnosis and early detection thrives on clinical echocardiography. Although echocardiography presents a huge advantage of a non-intrusive, low-cost point of care diagnosis, its image quality is inherently subjective with strong dependence on operators’ experience level and acquisition skill. In some countries, echo specialists are mandated to supplementary years of training to achieve ‘gold standard’ free-hand acquisition skill without which exacerbates the reliability of echocardiogram and increases possibility for misdiagnosis. These drawbacks pose significant challenges to adopting echocardiography as authoritative modalities for cardiac diagnosis. However, the prevailing and currently adopted solution is to manually carry out quality evaluation where an echocardiography specialist visually inspects several acquired images to make clinical decisions of its perceived quality and prognosis. This is a lengthening process and laced with variability of opinion consequently affection diagnostic responses. The goal of the research is to provide a multi-discipline, state-of-the-art solution that allows objective quality assessment of echocardiogram and to guarantee the reliability of clinical quantification processes. Computer graphic processing unit simulations, medical imaging analysis and deep convolutional neural network models were employed to achieve this goal. From a finite pool of echocardiographic patient datasets, 1650 random samples of echocardiogram cine-loops from different patients with age ranges from 17 and 85 years, who had undergone echocardiography between 2010 and 2020 were evaluated. We defined a set of pathological and anatomical criteria of image quality by which apical-four and parasternal long axis frames can be evaluated with feasibility for real-time optimization. The selected samples were annotated for multivariate model developments and validation of predicted quality score per frame. The outcome presents a robust artificial intelligence algorithm that indicate frames’ quality rating, real-time visualisation of element of quality and updates quality optimization in real-time. A prediction errors of 0.052, 0.062, 0.069, 0.056 for visibility, clarity, depth-gain, and foreshortening attributes were achieved, respectively. The model achieved a combined error rate of 3.6% with average prediction speed of 4.24 ms per frame. The novel method established a superior approach to two-dimensional image quality estimation, assessment, and clinical adequacy on acquisition of echocardiogram prior to quantification and diagnosis of myocardial infarction
