  • Patent number: 10824914
    Abstract: An apparatus for generating data based on generative adversarial networks (GANs) is provided. The apparatus includes a first generator configured to receive input data and generate a first fake image, a first discriminator configured to receive the first fake image generated by the first generator and a first real image and verify whether an image is fake or real, a second generator configured to receive the first fake image and generate a second fake image; and a second discriminator configured to receive the second fake image and a second real image and verify whether an image received by the second discriminator is fake or real. The apparatus improves an object recognition performance as compared with a typical object recognition algorithm by generating an image of a class of which a sufficient database is not secured so as to reduce an object misrecognition caused by an insufficient amount of data.

  • Patent number: 7652152
    Abstract: A method of preparing optically pure (S)-3-hydroxypyrrolidine is disclosed. The present invention provides a method of economically and industrially preparing optically and chemically pure (S)-3-hydroxypyrrolidine, through a process comprising introducing an amine protecting group by using optically pure 4-amino-(S)-2-hydroxybutylic acid as a starting material, reducing a carboxylic acid group into a primary alcohol, removing the amine protecting group to form an amine salt, halogenating the primary alcohol, and amine cyclization; and through a simple purification process, i.e., distillation under reduced pressure. As another method, the present invention provides a method of preparing optically and chemically pure (S)-3-hydroxypyrrolidine, through a process comprising esterifying optically pure 4-amino-(S)-2-hydroxybutylic acid as a starting material, lactam cyclization, and reduction.

  • Patent number: 5889556
    Abstract: A method of automatically dividing the domain of a motion picture is disclosed including the steps of: quantizing at least two sequential picture frames, and simplifying the shapes of the quantized picture frames; obtaining time space slope information from the quantized and simplified picture frames; detecting divides of the picture from the time space gradient information, and obtaining the boundaries between the divides, so as to divide the picture into multiple regions; combining neighboring smaller regions using graph theory, to thereby reduce the number of the divided regions; and dividing the regions into a motionless background object and moving objects, using motion information of the combined regions.
