Texture information plays an important role in object recognition and classification. To perform an accurate classification, the texture feature used in the classification must be highly discriminative. This paper presents a novel texture descriptor for texture-based image retrieval and its application in Computer-Aided Diagnosis (CAD) system for Emphysema classification. The texture descriptor is based on the combination of local surrounding neighborhood difference and centralized neighborhood difference and is named as Combined Neighborhood Difference (CND). The local differences of surrounding neighborhood difference and centralized neighborhood difference between pixels are compared and converted into binary codewords. Then binomial factor is assigned to the codewords in order to convert them into high discriminative unique values. The distribution of these unique values is computed and used as the texture feature vectors. The texture classification accuracies using Outex and Brodatz dataset show that CND achieves an average of 92.5%, whereas LBP, LND and Gabor filter achieve 89.3%, 90.7% and 83.6%, respectively. The implementations of CND in the computer-aided diagnosis of Emphysema is also presented in this paper.

In this paper, we proposed a method for estimating an accurate gamut based on segment maxima method. According to the number of segments in the segment maxima, a local concavity is generated in the vicinity of lightness axis or a gamut is reduced in high chroma region. It induces artifacts or deterioration of the image quality. To remove these artifacts, the number of segment is determined according to the number of samples. and a local concavity is modified by extending a detected concave point to the line connecting two adjacent boundary points. Experimental results show that the contours in a uniform color region and speckle artifacts from the conventional segment maxima algorithm are removed.

This Paper describes a chip design technique for body composition analyzer based on the BIA (Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis) method. All the functions of signal forcing circuits to the body, signal detecting circuits from the body, Micom, SRAM and EEPROMS are integrated in one chip. Especially, multi-frequency detecting method can be applied with selective band pass filter (BPF), which is designed in weak inversion region for low power consumption. In addition new full wave rectifier (FWR) is also proposed with differential difference amplifier (DDA) for high performance (small die area low power consumption, rail-to-rail output swing). The prototype chip is implemented with 0.35um CMOS technology and shows the power dissipation of 6 mW at the supply voltage of 3.3V. The die area of prototype chip is $5mm\times5mm$.

The essay examines the development and characteristics of regionalism as new social-political conflicts in Western Europe since 1970's and explores theoretical approaches of regionalism in terms of modemization theory of social sciences. There are various types of regionalistic movements: separatism, regional equity development, federalism, autonomy, nationalism, and so on. These different orientations have already shown serious problems, theoretical and conceptional, conceming the analysis of regionalism. But in conceptualizing this phenomenon, five competitive theses could be distinguished: persistence thesis, differentiation thesis, political procedure thesis, convergence thesis, and counter-differentiation thesis. Although the heuristic theses are still elaborated on the base of empirical studies and actual data, they indicate that each thesis ontologises the region as one of the key concepts explaining regionalism very differently.

유비쿼터스 컴퓨팅 기술이 문화예술 분야에 접목되면서 수동적이었던 전시 관람 형태가 능동적인 관람 형태로 바뀌고 있다. 특히, 지능형 가이드 시스템의 등장은 기존의 관람 문화를 크게 변화시켰다. 지능형 가이드 시스템이란 사용자에게 전시물에 대한 정보 및 전시장의 위치 정보를 제공해주는 시스템을 말한다. 현재 상용화되고 있는 지능형 가이드 시스템은 크게 휴대폰, PDA, 게임기 등의 휴대형 장치 기반의 가이드 시스템과 HMD와 같은 착용형 장치 기반의 가이드 시스템으로 나뉠 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 현재 상용화된 시스템들의 한계(예를 들어, 특정 장치를 직접 착용 혹은 소지해야 함)를 서술하고, 이를 보완하는 프로젝터 기반의 가이드 시스템에서 더 나아가 임의의 공간에 원하는 전시물 구성, 설치 등을 신속, 정확하게 수행하는 지능형 가이드 시스템을 제안한다. 프로젝터 기반의 지능형 가이드 시스템은 기반 기술로 지능형 프로젝션 기술을 필요로 하는데, 이는 임의의 환경에서 임의의 위치에 다수의 사용자에게 고화질, 대화면 영상 정보를 제공해 준다. 그러나, 기존의 지능형 프로젝션 기술은 성능 및 안정성을 위해 대부분 가시적인 패턴 및 마커를 사용하는데, 이는 사용자에게 제공되는 정보를 관찰하는 데 방해가 될 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 사용자의 관점에서 유용한 비간섭 지능형 프로젝션 기술을 사용한다. 즉, 본 논문에서는 마커나 패턴을 사용함으로써 정확성이나 안정성은 보장하지만, 마커나 패턴을 은닉하여 사용자의 눈에 띄지 않도록 함으로써, 사용자는 원하는 정보를 아무런 방해 없이 제공받을 수 있다. 제안된 시스템을 미술 작품 감상을 위한 가이드 시스템으로 적용해 본 결과, 사용자는 자유로운 환경에서 자신의 위치나 작품에 대한 설명을 대화면으로 제공받으면서, 편안하게 그림을 감상할 수 있었다.

In this paper, a high-accuracy current sensing technique for three-phase current paths in an electrical switchboard is proposed. Conventional open-style current sensors using magnetic sensors show inaccurate sensing performance with more than 10% error due to undesired magnetic field interference from neighboring paths. To increase accuracy, large and expensive current transformers with large permeabilities have been used, which increased the cost and size. The proposed technique can improve the measured magnetic field by the calculation of magnetic interference effect from neighboring current paths. The relationship between neighboring magnetic fields and the desired magnetic field is theoretically analyzed in a general case. The proposed technique is verified using magnetic field simulations in a three-phase busbar environment.

The purpose of this study is to explore the types of interlanguage that middle school students use in learning about the concept of diastrophism. Eighteen students from two classes in a middle school in Seoul participated in the study and each participant was interviewed four times. Data were analyzed in terms of semantic relations and thematic patterns. As a result, eight interlanguage types were identified and described, which are using everyday language as resources, combining scientific words with everyday words, conjugating scientific words imperfectly, and using semantic relations inappropriately. The implication of interlanguage for science learning and teaching is discussed.

LEO Satellite performs the operations and missions by FSW(Flight Software) after separation from a launch vehicle. Many of the operations by FSW are automatically conducted by the algorithms of FSW. In the case of the IAC(Initial Activation and Checkout) operations, a mission scheduling, an orbit transition, etc, however, a decision and a control of the satellite operators or manufacturers are required in order to operate the satellite safely. For this, the wireless communication channel between a satellite and a ground station should be prepared to receive telemetries and to transmit tele-commands for controlling FSW properly. Therefore, the verification of the interface between KOMPSAT-3 and a ground station is essential. This verification test is named the satellite end-to-end test. In this paper, we show the design process of the satellite end-to-end test and test results.

The ground integration test of Smart UAV has been performed according to the flight test plan. The flight test of full scaled model will be performed followed by 4 DOF ground rig test and a tethered hover test. Smart UAV is the first indigenous tiltrotor aircraft which can fly with fast cruise speed and take off or land vertically. In order to prove the flight control law of Smart UAV, the 40% scaled airplane was developed and have been tested. During flight test of small scaled model, many unique and unexpected problems occurred. After clearing these problems, fully automatic flight test was performed successfully. The experiences about many trouble shooting and resolving the problems would be basic material to avoid the unexpected but similar flight test problems hidden behind of the full scaled Smart UAV. This paper presents the detailed procedures of trouble shootings to solve the unique problems which occurred during the flight test of small scaled tiltrotor UAV.
