Recent works regarding video shot change detection algorithms show that abrupt shot changes are detected fairly well. However, gradual shot changes including wipes and dissolves are often missed or falsely detected. A robust shot change detection system, therefore, must include a shot verification step to further enhance the overall system performance. In this paper, we introduce the concept of the visual rhythm which is a single image, a subsampled version of a full video. On the visual rhythm, the different video edit effects such as cuts, wipes and dissolves manifest themselves as different patterns. Using this characteristic, it becomes possible, without sequentially playing the entire video, to find false positive shots as well as undetected shots. Thus, inclusion of the visual rhythm in the shot boundary verification process will aid the operator to exclude falsely detected shots as well as to find undetected shots fast and efficiently. For this purpose we have developed a new tool, a shot verifier incorporating the visual rhythm. The usefulness of the visual rhythm during the shot verification process will be presented.

이 논문에서는 평판의 배선형 해석에 대한 Berger의 방정식을 쉘좌표가 직교곡선좌표계로 표시 되는 Shallow 쉘에 대하여 일반화하여 운동방정식을 유도하였다. 해석의 예로서, 이 방정식을 사용하여 고정된 경계를 가진 원판과 Shallow 구쉘에 대한 배선형 진동문제를 해석하였으며, 정력학의 문제로서 원판이 동심원내에 균일하중을 받을때와 중심에 집중하중을 받을 때의 large deflection에 대하여 고찰하였고 나중문제에 대한 수치해를 구하였다.

본 논문은 컬러 영상을 명암도에 따른 공간적 객체 분할인 YIQ 모델을 사용하여 객체 분할한 영상의 임계값에 따른 적응적 형태학을 이용하여 영상의 경계면을 레벨 업시킨 후, 이를 웨이브렛에 적용하여 최적의 에지를 검출하였다. 또한, 흑백 영상보다 더 많은 더 정보를 가진컬러 영상을 사용하여, 기존의 영상 에지 검출 알고리즘인 Sobel 에지 검출과 다른 웨이브렛기저 계수를 적용한 에지 검출 방법과 비교하고, 제안된 알고리즘이 기존의 다른 에지 검출보다 우수함을 확인하였다. 특히 에지와 에지의 부분이 가까울 때 정확한 에지를 검출하였으며, 완만한 곡선을 가지고 있는 부분에서 더 우수한 결과 에지를 얻을 수 있음을 확인하였다.

In this study, a computer program was developed for analysis of the orthotropic curved ring sector plates. In the developing program , the thin-plate theory and multi-base coordinate system was adopted. The effect of design factors-boundary conditions, loading conditions, steel ratio, open angle, radius of curvature and relative flexural rigidity between slab and edge-beam-on the behavior of the circular ring sector plates were discussed. Also, the practical limitations was proposed to replace the problem of the orthotropic sector plate by equivalent rectangular plage.

영상분할이란 영상 내에 존재하는 객체를 배경에서 분리해내는 것을 말한다. Active Contour 모델은 객체를 영상에서 분리하는 gradient 기반의 영상분할 방식이다. 전통적인 의미의 Active Contour 모델에서 사용한 gradient 함수 기반의 영상분할은 잡영이 많고 객체와 배경간 뚜렷한 경계가 없는 영상에서는 그 한계를 보이고 있다. 이에 본 논문에서는 이러한 Active Contour 모델의 단점을 극복하기 위한 방법으로 영상 내의 진화곡선에 의존하는 에너지 함수인 Mumford-Shah Functional을 이용한 방법을 제안한다. 이 방법은 영상 내의 Active Contour를 진화시켜 Mumford-Shah 함수의 에너지를 최소화시키는 Level Set 함수를 찾고 Level Set 함수에 의해 얻어진 부분영상에서 히스토그램을 이용한 임계치(thresholding) 방식을 사용하는 보다 효과적인 객체추출 모델이다.

Extraction of glomeruli region plays a very important role for diagnosing nephritis automatically. However, it is not easy to extract glomeruli region correctly because the difference between glomeruli region and other region is not obvious, simultaneously unevennesses that is brought in the sampling process and in the imaging process. In this study, a new method for extracting renal glomeruli region using genetic algorithm is proposed. The first, low and high resolution images are obtained by using Laplacian-Gaussian filter with ${\sigma}=2.1$ and ${\sigma}=1.8$, then, binary images by setting the threshold value to zero are obtained. And then border edge is detected from low resolution images, the border of glomeruli is expressed by a closed B-splines' curve line. The parameters that decide the closed curve line with this low resolution image prevent the noises and the border lines from breaking off in the middle by searching using genetic algorithm. Next, in order to obtain more precise border edges of glomeruli, the number of node points is increased and corrected in order from eight to sixteen and thirty two from high resolution images. Finally, the validity of this proposed method is shown to be effective by applying to the real images.

Until now, the pore size distribution, PSD, of soil profile has been calculated from soil moisture characteristic data by water release method or mercury porosimetry using the capillary rise equation. But the current methods are often difficult to use and time consuming. Thus, in this work, theoretical framework for an easy and fast technique was suggested to estimate the PSD from unsaturated hydraulic conductivity data in an undisturbed field soil profile. In this study, unsaturated hydraulic conductivity data were collected and simulated by the variation of soil parameters in the given boundary conditions (Brooks and Corey soil parameters, ${\alpha}_{BC}=1-5L^{-1}$, b = 1 - 10; van Genuchten soil parameters, ${\alpha}_{VG}=0.001-1.0L^{-1}$, m = 0.1 - 0.9). Then, $K_s$ (1.0 cm $h^{-1})$ was used as the fixed input parameter for the simulation of each models. The PSDs were estimated from the collected K(h) data by model simulation. In the simulation of Brooks-Corey parameter, the saturated hydraulic conductivity, $K_s$, played a role of scaling factor for unsaturated hydraulic conductivity, K(h) Changes of parameter b explained the shape of PSD curve of soil intimately, and a ${\alpha}_{BC}$ affected on the sensitivity of PSD curve. In the case of van Genuchten model, $K_s$ and ${\alpha}_{VG}$ played the role of scaling factor for a vertical axis and a horizontal axis, respectively. Parameter m described the shape of PSD curve and K(h) systematically. This study suggests that the new theoretical technique can be applied to the in situ prediction of PSD in undisturbed field soil.

This paper studies the applicability of the method of caustics into anisotropic materials under mode I and mixed static loading conditions and introduces the procedure to obtain stress intensity factors(S.I.F.) in anisotropic materials by the method of caustics. The mapping equations for initial and caustic curves in anisotropic materials were introduced and their computer graphical images were compared to the experimental ones to check the validity of the mapping equations proposed in this paper. The agreement between them was found to satisfactory. Two kinds of method to determine S.I.F. in anisotropic materials by the method of caustics were proposed in this paper and applied into the orthotropic materials under various loading conditions. In the case of mode I loading condition, the S.I.F.'s obtained by this paper's methods were found to be quite similar to the results by other method, boundary element method(B.E.M) and in the case of mixed loading condtion, the S.I.F's by this paper and B.E.M. showed a little differences(2.2-24.4%) with respect to the slanted angle of crack.

An efficient approach to recognize occluded objects is to detect a number of essential features on the boundary of the unknown shape. The salient points including corner points, tangential points and inflection points are detected by the relation of neighboring pixels of each pixel on the boundaries. Corner points are usually detected in the curvature function and tangential points and inflection points are detected by median filtering the curvature function to avoid the effect of quantization noise as corner points is not sufficient to represent an object with lines and arcs. Then, these salient points are used as features for object matching. Discrete Hopfield Neural Network is used for object matching. Experimental results show that the matching result using salient points is better than those of using corner points only when an object consists of lines and arcs.
