The Smart Culture Lens developed in this study is an application developed by utilizing the visual element classification system of ceramic and AI technology. The user can analyze the visual elements of the ceramic photo taken with a smartphone and search for similar ceramics related to each visual element. For this development, as a first step, visual elements such as color, form, material, and pattern were defined as criteria for classifying ceramic appearance, and the visual element classification system of ceramics was organized. In the second step, 19,610 images of 7,346 ceramics were collected through museum visit photography and web, and a database was built by annotating these images with a visual element classification system. In the third step, representative object detection models, Faster R-CNN and Mask R-CNN were trained based on a ceramic classification system. Through those trained object detection models, visual elements and masks of the input image were recognized, and representative colors of the area were extracted using the k-means algorithm through the recognized masks. The performance of the trained object detection models (Average precision of Form / Material / Pattern 1st-level category = 0.87 / 0.89 / 0.72) shows that the amount of collected data and the established classification system are useful. Finally, by applying the above development results, a mobile application called 'Smart Culture Lens' was developed, and the usefulness of this application was confirmed through a user experience test. This study combines AI technology into cultural heritage so that people can intuitively explore artifacts from a new perspective, which differs from traditional artifact exploring methods. All the detailed processes of this development will be a guide to how to apply AI technology to the cultural heritage.INDEX TERMS Classification scheme of ceramics, visual elements analysis, visual search, ceramic dataset. I. INTRODUCTION
Anxiety in dental patients has caused inconvenient experiences during their dental visits due to the noise generated by the dental handpiece. High-frequency sounds generated by the handpiece have been challenging to reduce using the active control method that targets low-frequency sounds, as well as the difficulty in applying the noise control method using sound-absorbing materials, because the size of the handpiece is small. As an alternative, a method that can reduce noise and provide stability by playing music to patients is being studied. However, in most studies, there are inconveniences such as the need to turn the music volume higher to cover dental handpiece noise or having to wear headphones to play music. In this study, in order to reduce this inconvenience and optimize the noise reduction effect of music, we propose a technology that converts music into sound masking and a unit chair equipped with a bone conduction speaker that plays music, and through clinical trials with 35 patients, it was confirmed that the proposed system made the patients emotionally stable. In addition, by analyzing the causes of these emotional changes, it suggests that the preferred genre of music by patients should also be considered.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
