Crown density, which is defined as the proportion of the forest floor concealed by tree crown, is important and useful information in various fields. Previous methods of measuring crown density have estimated crown density by interpreting aerial photographs or through a ground survey. These are time-consuming, labor-intensive, expensive and inconsistent approaches, as they involve a great deal of subjectivity and rely on the experience of the interpreter. In this study, the crown density of a forest in Korea was estimated using KOMPSAT-2 high-resolution satellite images. Using the image segmentation technique and stand information of the digital forest map, the forest area was divided into zones. The crown density for each segment was determined using the discriminant analysis method and the forest ratio method. The results showed that the accuracy of the discriminant analysis method was about 60%, while the accuracy of the forest ratio method was about 85%. The probability of extraction of candidate to update was verified by comparing the result with the digital forest map.

생태적 기능이 담보되는 하안의 조성 및 복원은 필연적으로 하안공간에서 물리적 구조변화를 야기한다. 이러한 하안공간의 물리적 구조변화는 장기적으로 구간에서의 생태적 기능뿐만 아니라 단기적으로 하천의 수리특성변화를 야기한다. 이러한 수리특성변화는 복원구간에서의 생태적 기능에 직접적인 영향을 준다. 하천복잡도에 따른 수리특성의 변화는 자연형 하천복원에 영향을 주는 변수이므로 이들 변화를 예측할 수 있는 하천복잡도 시나리오의 수립은 매우 중요하다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 2차원 하상변동 수치모형인 CCHE2D 모형을 이용하여 하천유형에 따른 수리특성을 분석하고자 하였다. 하천복잡도 시나리오는 Rosgen (1994)에 의해 제안된 하천분류방법과 유량크기별 모의 시나리오를 작성하여 모델에 적용하였다. 연구대상지역은 안성천유역의 오산천과 진위천으로 하천분류결과 크게 C유형과 E 유형으로 분류되었다. 분류된 유형의 수리특성 분석을 위해 C 유형의 구간중 진위천 본류구간과 통삼천의 만곡구간을 선정하여 모형을 구동하였다. 모형의 입력자료인 유한요소망은 하천정비기본계획의 부도를 이용하여 생성하였으며 모델의 경계입력자료는 WMS HEC-1의 유출량 결과 자료를 사용하였다. 빈도별 강우량 자료를 Huff의 4분위 법을 적용하여 24시간으로 분포화하여 빈도별, 구간별 유출량 자료를 구축하여 모의 하였다. 선정한 하천유형구간에 대하여 유량크기별 수위, 유속, 한계유속, 소류력에 대한 흐름특성분석을 실시하였으며, 조도계수의 변화에 따른 흐름특성 변화를 분석하였다.

This paper deals with a problem occuring in recognition of tactile images due to the effects of imposed force at a me urement moment. Tactile image of a contact surface, used for recognition of the surface type, varies depending on the forces imposed so that a false recognition may result in. This paper fuzzifies two parameters of the contour of a tactile image with the membership function formed by considering the imposed force. Two fuzzifed paramenters are fused by the average Minkowski's dist; lnce. The proposed algorithm was implemented on the multisensor system cnmposed of an optical tact le sensor and a 6 axes forceltorque sensor. By the experiments, the proposed algorithm has shown average recognition ratio greater than 869% over all imposed force ranges and object models which is about 14% enhancement comparing to the case where only the contour information is used. The pro- ~oseda lgorithm can be used for end-effectors manipulating a deformable or fragile objects or for recognition of 3D objects by implementing on multi-fingered robot hand.

A numerical study is carried out for natural convection in an enclosure with an inner hot cylinder at the center. The top wall is cold, the bottom and both side walls of the enclosure are adiabatic, and the cylinder is heated. The bottom wall is heated locally at the middle. The ratio (w) is defined by as the width of the bottom wall to that of the heated local area. The immersed boundary method (IBM) is used to model an inner circular cylinder based on the finite volume method (FVM). This study investigates the effect of w on natural convection in an enclosure with an inner heated cylinder for Rayleigh numbers of $10^6$. At $6Ra=10^6$, thermal and flow fields show time-dependent characteristics after their full development.

Recently, many studies extracting the geography information using digital aerial image have been implemented. But it is very difficult that automatically recognizing objects using edge detection method on the aerial image, and so that work have practiced manually or semi-automatically. Therefore, in this study, we have removed impedimental elements for recognition using the image which overlapped the significant information bands of brightness-sliced aerial images, then have developed the algorithm which can automatically recognize and extract road information and we will try to apply that method when we develope a system. For this, first of all, we have developed the 'template conformal-transformation moving operator' for automatically recognizing crosswalk area from crosswalk band image and the 'window normal search algorithm' which is able to track road area based on long-side length of crosswalk, so that we have proposed the method that can extract directly the road information from the aerial image.

There exist residual stresses and deformations in welded structures because of nonuniform temperature distribution. The thermal elasto-plastic analysis is necessary to describe the behavor of the structure during welding. In this paper, we calculated the residual stresses and deformations of the welded beam using the I-dimensional layered beam theory. In the previous 1-dimensional analyses, there were restrictions that the equilibrium conditions which were effective only on beams with infinite length were used, and the boundary conditions could not be considered adequately. But, the layered beam theory based on the incremental finite element method, can overcome these restrictions. On the other hand, in the 2-dimensional analysis, the computing time is large because of many degrees of freedom, and there was inaccuracy in the calculation of welding deformations. However, the layered beam theory can take into account the variation of properties along the depth, and can reduce the degrees of freedom considerably in comparision with the 2-dimensional analysis, and shows good agreement with the experiments.

This paper describes a proposal for average crack width and immediate deflection calculation in structural concrete members. The model is mathematically derived from actual bond stressslip relationships and tension stiffening effect between reinforcement and the surrounding concrete, and the actual strains of steel and concrete are integrated respectively along the embedded length between the adjacent cracks so as to obtain the difference in the axial elongation. With these, a model for average crack width and immediate deflection in reinforced concrete flexural members are proposed utilizing difference in the axial elongation and average steel strain and moment-curvature relationship with taking account of bond characteristics. The model is applied to the test specimens available in literatures, and the crack width and deflections predicted by the proposal equation in this study are closed to the experimentally measured data compared the current code provisions.

고유기질토의 정규압밀과 과입밀에 대한 압밀특성을 연구하기 위하여 전북지역에서 채취한 2종류의 고유기질토 IS와 YJ를 사용하여 일련의 실내 표준압밀시험과 반복압밀시험을 수행하였다. 전북지역 대표적인 고유기질토의 물리적 특성은 유기물함량이 각각 58%와 72%, 자연함수비 487%와 635%, 초기공극비 7.02와 9.72이었다. 표준압밀시험결과 K, $M_{v}$ , $C_{v}$ 는 압밀하중이 증가함에 따라서 선행하중을 경계로 일반 점토보다 크게 감소하는 특성을 보였다. 또한 2단계, 3단계 반복압밀 시험결과 K, $M_{v}$ 는 압밀하중이 증가함에 따라서 완만하게 감소하였으며 표준압밀시험결과보다는 작게 나타났다. 2단계 반복압밀의 경우 $C_{v}$ 는 정규압밀영역에서 표준압밀시험결과보다 약 10-12배정도 크게 나타났다. $C_{c}$ , $C_{a}$ 는 압밀하중이 증가함에 따라서 각각 선행하중의 약 2.5배, 3배 하중을 정점으로 크게 증감하는 고유기질토 고유의 특성을 나타냈다. 고유기질토의 $C_{c}$ , $C_{a}$ 는 일반 점토보다 압밀압력 의존성이 큰 특성을 나타냈으며 최대값도 각각 2.9-3.8, 0.3-0.4로 일반 점토보다 큰 값을 보였다. 2단계, 3단계 반복압밀시험결과 $C_{c}$ , $C_{a}$ 는 압밀하중이 증가함에 따라서 약간 증가하였다. $C_{a}$ 는 OCR이 증가함에 따라서 감소하였으며 특히 OCR이 1-2 범위에서 감소폭이 크게 나타났다. 고유길토의 제압밀계수는 반복회수 및 하중의 크기 등에 따라서 큰 영향을 받으며 또한 과압밀 크기의 대소는 고유기질토의 $C_{a}$ 에 큰 영향을 미치는 것으로 생각되어 이 분야에 대한 더 많은 연구가 필요하다.

Volume phase diffraction grating is formed in 5${mu}m$ Agfa 8E75 photographic emulsion film using He-Ne laser. It is dependent on the chemical processing rather than materials themselves that high diffraction efficiency can obtained in silver halide emulsions. With potassium dichromate bleach and alcohol drying, overall efficiency of 71% (81% after allowing for reflection at the two surfaces) has been achieved at an exposure of 180${mu}J/cm^2.$ Dichromate cross-linkage and air void by rapid dehydration increase refractive index modulation depth. The grating is swollen, which is newly identified by Scanning Electronic Microscope(SEM) photography, and it causes on-Bragg at larger angle than the recording angle. It is pointed out that controlling the emulsion thickness has an important role as a potential source for high diffraction efficiency.

By means of constant- pressure molecular dynamics simulations, we studied the liquid- glass- crystalline transition of a system composed of Lennard- Jones particles with periodic boundary conditions. Atomic volume and enthalpy were calculated as functions of temperature during heating and cooling processes. The Wendt- Abraham ratio derived from radial distribution function and the angular distribution function characterizing short range order were analyzed to distinguish between liquid, glass and crystalline states. A liquid phase resulting from a slow heating of an initial fee crystal amorphized on fast quench, but it crystallized on slow quench. When slowly heated, the amorphous phase from fast quench crystallized into an fee structure. A system with free surface was shown to melt from the surface inward at a lower temperature than bulk system and to have a strong tendency for crystallization even during a fast quench from a liquid state.
