Nail painting machine is a new kind of consumer device getting prevailing, but a smart technique to automatically find nail printing area becomes necessary. In this study, we propose an image segmentation approach to mark the area of nails, which cuts the nail image and merges the painting patterns selected by the user. The segmented-and merged result is then sent to the nail painting machine for printing.

In a warehouse, 60% of the costs are attributed to the picking work, which involves collecting products from specific locations on shelves. Improving work efficiency at the picking stage is the most important issue in logistics. Augmented reality (AR) technology is an obvious solution for intuitive instruction and presentation, but it does not lend itself to practical use. In this study, we will analyze the practical barriers of AR in the warehouse. We developed an AR picking system for commercial head mounted displays (HMDs) to investigate practical barriers to using them in picking, improve the HMDs through experiments, and evaluate the improvements.

This paper introduces a personal assist device to harvest root vegetables such as radishes which are a representative crop planted by many farmers in Japan. Specifically, our research work tries to solve problems by developing a novel assit deive that is compact, inexpensive, and easy to handle by anyone, and that can reduce the burden on users. As a solution approach, two mechanisms embedded in the proposed assist device are designed and developed: 1) grasping mechanism for grabbing crops and 2) digging mechanism for raising crops buried in the ground. The design of this harvesting assist device based on these mechanisms and its features are explained in detail in our paper. The effectiveness of the assist device was verified through extensive experiments in a farm field. To enhance the feasibility and efficiency of the harvesting device, our future work includes the study direction of stable grasping for different sizes and shapes according to crops.

For Tsunami evacuation, specific evacuation information needs to be transmitted to each evacuee, for example, the nearest evacuation facility. At present, such an information transmitting system for narrow specific areas has not been organized well. In this paper, we propose a narrow-area specific messaging system where taxis play a role of information transmitters. Since taxis have a mobility property, their allocation pattern can be changed within the target area. Effectiveness of information transmission according to the taxi allocation pattern is evaluated through Multi-Agent System computer simulation. As the experimental results, it is found that decentralized and unbiased taxi allocation can accelerate evacuation completion.

Consumer-grade projector and camera are both fabricated to be nonlinear for better visual effect, and hence induce significant errors in optical-based profilometry. Previous methods improve the 3D reconstruction ability of consumer-grade equipment in an error compensation way, but are challenged by the accuracy bottleneck due to the compensation basis. In this paper, an imagery-to-source (IS) mapping approach is proposed to break through the accuracy bottleneck, by eliminating all of the nonlinear errors in theory. Furthermore, it is easy implementation and does not need additional projections for tedious error pre-calibration. Simulation and experimental results confirm the validity of the proposed method.

In this paper, we verify whether the spectator's game experience affects the enjoyment of watching gameplay by AI. In recent years, watching gameplay has become one of the main contents of games. Therefore, research has been conducted to automatically generate gameplay for spectators. In this paper, we analyze the AI gameplay proposed in CoG 2019 using the spectators' game experience. The analysis shows that the gameplay by AI is fun regardless of the amount of experience in the fighting game.

In this paper, we propose a fast and efficient inter mode decision using support vector machine (SVM) for HEVC inter prediction. In the proposed algorithm, we use information such as MV variance, neighboring CU depth level and coded block flag (CBF) as features for SVM-based CU size decision; while MV variance, SKIP flag and RDO ratio for SVM-based PU mode decision. The experimental results reveal that the proposed algorithm can achieve average 29.6% reduction of computation time with 0.09% bit rate increment only, compared to the original HEVC inter prediction.

The Unified Vehicular Volume Reduction Program was implemented to reduce the number of cars in a particular area as to lessen traffic congestions by restricting cars depending on the day with the corresponding last digit of the vehicle's plate number. The purpose of this study is to reinforce and automate the detection of violators of the vehicular volume reduction using a cloud based detection and real-time communication of number coding violators through character recognition and image processing. With the use of a Raspberry Pi, a web camera, and a monitor, the research aims to create a cost-effective number coding violation detector that can notify the violator as well as keep the logs in a database storage.

This paper investigates the algorithmic latency of non-learning blind bandwidth extension (BWE) approaches, and evaluates their quality with objective measurements. BWE methods are regarded as methods for restoring high-frequency losses caused by band limits. To satisfy the restriction and provide high-quality sound, low-latency BWE techniques are required. This paper focuses on the non-learning blind BWE methods, such as spectral shifting-based approaches and non-linear function based BWE (N-BWE). The results proved that the N-BWE method can be performed with low-latency.
