Image segmentation is the task which partitions the image into meaningful regions and considered to be one of the most important steps in computer vision and image processing. Image segmentation is also widely used in object-based video compression such as MPEG-4 to extract out the object regions from the given frame. Watershed algorithm is frequently used to obtain the more accurate region boundaries. But, it is well known that the watershed algorithm is extremely sensitive to gradient noise and usually results in oversegmentation. To solve such a problem, we propose an image segmentation method which is robust to noise by using stabilized inverse diffusion equation (SIDE) and is more efficient in segmentation by employing multiresolution approach. In this paper, we apply both the region projection method using labels of adjacent regions and the region merging method based on region adjacency graph (RAG). Experimental results on noisy image show that the oversegmenation is reduced and segmentation efficiency is increased.

Mantle-derived xenoliths, corresponding to spinel harzburgite and lherzolite in alkali basalts from Jeju Island, are metasomatized to various extents. They contain distinctive secondary orthopyroxene, forming corona or poikilitic textures. It clearly indicate that this secondary orthopyroxene has been produced at the expense of olivine along the grain boundaries and margins, suggesting silica-enriched metasomatic melt infiltrated through grain boundaries. Based on the geotectonic characteristics of Jeju Island and textural characteristics and major elements composition of mantle xenoliths, it is suggested that the silica-enriched melt/fluid could have derived from the ancient subducted slab, possibly in the mantle wedge, implying that the high $SiO_2$ activity in the lithospheric upper mantle beneath Jeju Island at that time.

We investigated how the surface roughness of electrode affects the charge injection at the pentacene/Au interface. After depositing Au film on the Si substrate by sputtering, we annealed the sample to control the Au surface roughness. Pentacene and Au top electrode were subsequently deposited to complete the sample. The nucleation density of pentacene was slightly higher on the rougher Au electrode, but surface morphologies of thick pentacene films were similar on both the as-prepared and the roughened Au electrodes. The current-voltage curves obtained from the Au/pentacene/Au structure measured as a function of temperature indicated that the interface barrier was higher for the rougher Au bottom-electrode. We propose that the higher barrier was caused by the lower work function of rougher electrode surface and the higher trap density at the interface.

지적도는 모든 지도중 가장 큰 대축척 지도이며 토지에 대하여 필지별로 지번, 위치 및 경계 등 소유권의 범위를 등록하는 것으로서 국민의 기본권리인 토지에 대한 소유권과 그 이용을 보장할 수 있는 가장 기본적인 특성을 가지고 있다. 도형자료인 현재의 지적도는 1910년 토지조사사업에 의하여 실제 토지필지를 1/1,200로 축소하여 도면에 등록한 도해지적으로 제도오차, 축척오차, 신축오차, 도곽접합 등의 기술적인 오차와 측량을 할 때마다 각기 측량사에 따라 개인오차의 누적으로 성과결정에 있어서 차질을 가져다주고 있다. 따라서 이러한 문제를 해결하기 위하여는 지적재조사사업이 가장 바람직하지만 복잡한 과정을 거쳐야 함으로 그 이전에라도 축척변경사업을 통하여 새로운 지적체계로서 토지이용상태에 따라 토지의 경계를 수치좌표로 등록하는 수치지적체계로 전환하여 지적측량의 정확도와 정밀도를 높여 지적불부합지에 대한 민원을 해소함으로써 재산적 가치를 증대할 뿐만 아니라 국민의 소유권 보호 및 양질의 서비스 개선에 그 목적이 있다. 본 연구에서는 해당지역의 지적도를 독취, 정도곽으로 보정하여 일필지를 공부상면적의 공차범위 이내로 조정한 후 현형도와 지적도를 조정(Orientation)하여 좌표를 저장하였다. 일필지 좌표결정 방법에는 CAD기능을 이용하여 컴퓨터의 모니터에서 지적도를 이동 및 회전함으로써 위치를 결정하는 방식, 모니터상에서 국부적으로 위치를 결정하는 방식 및 디지타이져상에서 결정하여 모니터상에서 조정하는 방식있다. 현실적으로 국부적인 방법이 합리적이라고 생각되어 모니터상에서 조정(Orientation)하여 국부적으로 좌표 위치를 결정하는 방법으로 연구하고 성과를 비교, 검토하였으며, 그 결과 다음과 같은 결론을 얻었다. 1. 지적도면은 토지조사사업 한지를 배접한 켄트지를 사용함으로써 종이의 신축으로 인하여 정도곽으로 보정을 하면 독취면적은 대부분 공부상면적보다 늘어났다. 2. 좌표의 이동량이 일률적이지 못하므로 기초점에 대한 문제라고 생각되며, 따라서 도해지적을 수치지적으로 전환함에 있어서 가장 우선되어야 할 사항이 기초점 정비라 하겠다.

In this paper, we introduce system and channel modeling for an underwater ad hoc acoustic network with n regularly located nodes， and then analyze capacity scaling laws based on the model. A narrow-band model is assumed where the carrier frequency is allowed to scale as a function of n. In the network, we characterize in attenuation parameter that depends on the frequency scaling as well as the transmission distance. A cut-set upper bound on the throughput scaling is then derived in extended networks having unit node density. Our result indicates that the upper bound is inversely proportional to the attenuation parameter, thus resulting in a power-limited network. Furthermore, we describe an achievable scheme based on the simple nearest-neighbor multi-hop (MH) transmission. It is shown under extended networks that the MH scheme is order-optimal for all the operating regimes expressed as functions of the attenuation parameter.

In this paper, a dispersive anisotropic perfectly matched layer(APML) is proposed using piecewise linear recursive convolution(PLRC) for finite difference time domain(FDTD) methods. This proposed APML can be utilized for the analysis of a nonlinear dispersive medium as absorbing boundary condition(ABC). The formulation is simple modification to the original AMPL and can be easily implemented. Also it has some advantages of the PLRC approach-fast speed, low memory cost, and easy formulation of multiple pole susceptibility. We applied this APML to 2-D propagation problems in dispersive media such as Debye and Lorentz media The results showed good absorption at boundaries.

In this study, we consider the heat transfer characteristics of channel flow in the presence of an infinite streamwise array of equispaced identical rotating circular cylinders. This flow configuration can be regarded as a model representing a micro channel or an internal heat exchanger with cylindrical vortex generators. A numerical parametric study has been carried out by varying Reynolds number based on the bulk mean velocity and the cylinder diameter, and the gap between the cylinders and the channel wall for some selected angular speeds. The presence of the rotating circular cylinders arranged periodically in the streamwise direction causes a significant topological change of the flow, leading to heat transfer enhancement on the channel walls. More quantitative results as well as qualitative physical explanations are presented to justify the effectiveness of varying the gap to enhance heat transfer from the channel walls.

A customized CFD simulator to perform thermo-fluid dynamic simulations of an HVAC for an indoor space is presented. This simulation system has been developed for engineers studying architectural engineering, as the HVAC mechanical systems used in housings and buildings. Hence, all functions and options are so designed to be suitable that they are suitable for non-CFD experts as well as CFD engineers. A Computational mesh is generated by open-source libraries, FEMM (Finite Element Method Magnetics), and OpenFOAM. Once the boundary conditions are set, the fluid dynamic calculations are performed using the OpenFOAM solver. Numerical results are validated by comparing them with the experimental data for a simple indoor air flow case. In this paper, an entirely new calculation process is introduced, and the flow simulation results for a sample office room are also discussed.

Recent progress in state-of-the-art geospatial information technologies such as digital mapping, LiDAR(Light Detection And Ranging), and high-resolution satellite imagery provides various data sources fer Digital Elevation Model(DEM). DEMs are major source to extract elements of the hydrological terrain property that are necessary for efficient watershed management. Especially, watersheds extracted from DEM are important geospatial database to identify physical boundaries that are utilized in water resource management plan including water environmental survey, pollutant investigation, polluted/wasteload/pollution load allocation estimation, and water quality modeling. Most of the previous studies related with watershed extraction using DEM are mainly focused on the hydrological elements analysis and preprocessing without considering grid size of the DEMs. This study aims to analyze accuracy of the watersheds extracted from DEMs with various grid sizes generated by LiDAR data and digital map, and appropriate preprocessing methods.

Lee(2009) proposed the boundary-adaptive despeckling method using a Bayesian model which is based on the lognormal distribution for image intensity and a Markov random field(MRF) for image texture. This method employs the Point-Jacobian iteration to obtain a maximum a posteriori(MAP) estimate of despeckled imagery. The boundary-adaptive algorithm is designed to use less information from more distant neighbors as the pixel is closer to boundary. It can reduce the possibility to involve the pixel values of adjacent region with different characteristics. The boundary-adaptive scheme was comprehensively evaluated using simulation data and the effectiveness of boundary adaption was proved in Lee(2009). This study, as an extension of Lee(2009), has suggested a modified iteration algorithm of MAP estimation to enhance computational efficiency and to combine classification. The experiment of simulation data shows that the boundary-adaption results in yielding clear boundary as well as reducing error in classification. The boundary-adaptive scheme has also been applied to high resolution Terra-SAR data acquired from the west coast of Youngjong-do, and the results imply that it can improve analytical accuracy in SAR application.
