본 연구에서는 광학센서를 이용한 벼 군락의 질소수준별 생육단계별 식생지수와 쌀 단백질함량과의 관계를 구명하여 쌀 단백질함량을 추정하는 것을 목적으로 하였다. 질소의 경우 0, 7, 10, 13kg/10a등 4수준으로 범위를 두고 처리하여 인공광원을 사용하는 2종의 능동형 광학(G)NDVI 센서를 이용하여 벼 군락의 반사특성을 측정하였고, 동시에 식물체의 생육량, 엽면적지수, 엽 질소함량 등을 분석하였다. 생육단계에 따른 식생지수 변화를 분석해 본 결과 (G)NDVI값은 이앙기 이후 급속히 증가하다가 수잉기 전후로 수확기에 이르기까지 감소하는 경향을 보였다. 질소 수준에 따른 식생지수 변화의 경우 무처리구를 제외하고는 처리수준별 G(NDVI)값이 큰 변이가 나타나지는 않았지만, 처리 수준에 따라 일정하게 식생지수 차이를 보였다. (G)NDVI값 과 엽질소 함량과의 시기별 상관분석 결과 유효분얼기, 유수형성기 보다는 출수기, 결실기에 엽 질소 함량과의 상관이 더 높게 나타났고, GNDVI값이 NDVI값보다 상관이 더 높게 나타났다. 출수 후 쌀 단백질 함량과 엽 질소 함량과의 관계를 조사해보았는데 높은 정의 상관관계($r=0.96^{**}$)를 보였다. 출수기에서 수확기까지 자료를 이용한 각 시기별 G(NDVI)값과 쌀 단백질 함량과의 상관분석 결과 수확기에 가까울수록 상관계수가 높게 나타났다. GNDVI값을 이용한 수확기 쌀 단백질 함량 추정식($R^2=0.92$)을 작성하였고, 쌀 단백질 함량 추정값과 실측값을 비교해보았더니 1:1선에 근접하게 분포하였다($R^2=0.90$).

This paper presents a novel evaluation method of life expectancy of power system equipment. The life expectancy means expected remaining lifetime; it can be usefully utilized to maintenance planning, equipment replacement planning, and reliability assessment. The proposed method is composed of three steps. Firstly, a cumulative probability for future years is evaluated for targeted age year. Secondly, the cumulative probability is modeled by well-blown cumulative distribution function(CDF) such as Weibull distribution. Lastly, life expectancy is evaluated as the mean value of the model. Since the model CDF is established in the proposed method, it can also evaluate the probability of equipment retirement within specific years. The developed method is applied to examples of generators of combined cycle power plants to show its effectiveness.

This paper proposes an improved image illumination estimation method based on the conventional color constancy algorithm. The most important process of color constancy algorithm is the estimation of the spectral distributions of illuminant of an input image. To estimate of the spectral distributions of illuminant of an input image, we use the brightest pixel values and the values of surface reflectance of an input image using a principal component analysis of the given munsell chips. We estimate a CIE tristimulus values of an input image using the estimated .spectral distribution of illuminant and recover an image by scaling it regularity. From the experimental results, the proposed method was effective in estimating the image illumination

Collecting all failures during life cycle of vehicle is not easy way because its life cycle is normally over 10 years. Warranty period can help gathering failures data because most customers try to repair its failures during warranty period even though small failures. This warranty data, which means failures during warranty period, can be a good resource to predict initial reliability and permanence reliability. However uncertainty regarding reliability prediction remains because this data is censored. University of Wuppertal and major auto supplier developed the reliability prognosis model considering censored data and this model introduce to predict reliability estimate further "failure candidate". This paper predicts reliability of telecommunications system in vehicle using the model and describes data structure for reliability prediction.

This paper presents a technique for estimating the attitude of a model helicopter at near hovering using a combination of inertial and non-inertial sensors such as gyroscope and potentiometer. To estimate the attitude of helicopter a simplified indirect Kalman filter based on sensor modeling is derived and the characteristics of sensors are studied, which are used in determining the optimal Kalman gain. To verify the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm simulation results are presented with real flight data. Our approach avoids a complex dynamic modeling of helicopter and allows for an elegant combination of various sensor data with different measurement frequencies. We also describe the method of implementation of the algorithm in the model helicopter.

We present a novel speed estimation of a Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor(PMSM) based on Support Vector Regression(SVR). The proposed method can estimate wide speed range, including 0.33Hz with full load, accurately in the steady and transient states where motor parameters variations are known without parameter estimator. Moreover, the method does not need offline training previously but is trained on-line. The training starts with the PMSM operation simultaneously and estimates the speed in real time. The experimental results shows the validity and the usefulness of the proposed algorithm for the 0.4Kw PMSM DSP(TMS320VC33) drive system.

A Failure data from operating condition includes various failures. Reliability evaluation by operating condition is more correct than test condition. Additional, the evaluation result by operating condition is widely used for quality assurance, forecasting amount of manufacturing at EOL. To discover valuable things from the failure data, arrangement of the failure data and information technique to handle data is needed among many failure data. This paper introduces a reliability prediction program to solve this problem based on the failure. And new technologies for parameters estimation with method of Graphic-Wizard-Parameters-Estimation and Genetic Algorithm are introduced.

A new control scheme using a torsional torque estimator based on a neural network is proposed and investigated for improving control characteristics of the high-performance motion control system. This control method presents better performance in the corresponding speed vibration response, compared with the disturbance observer-based control method. This result comes from the fact that the proposed neural network estimator keeps the self-learning capability, whereas the disturbance observer-based torque estimator with low pass filter should dbjust the time constant of the adopted filter according to the natural resonance frequency detemined by considering the system parameters varied. The simulation results shows the validity of the proposed control scheme.

Because Image on the CRT change under different illuminants, human is difficult to see original color of object. If what is information of used illuminant on capturing object know, image can be transformed according to viewing condition using the linear matrix method. To know information of used illuminant at an image, the spectral radiance of illuminant can be estimated using the linear model of Maloney and Wandell form an image. And then image can be properly transformed it using color appearance model. In this paper, we predict the spectral radiance of illuminant using spectral power distribution of specular light and using surface spectral reflectance at maximum gray area. and then we perform visual experiments for the corresponding color reproduction according to viewing condition. In results, we ensure that the spectral radiance of illuminant at an image can be well estimated using above algorithms and that human visual system is 70% adapted to the monitor's white point and 30% to ambient light when viewing softcopy images.

This paper presents a new approach of analyzing errors resulting from nonideal general-purpose lighting environment when the Photometric Stereo Method (PSM) is applied to estimate the surface-orientation of a three-dimensional object. The approach introduces the explicit modeling of the lighting environment including a circular-disk type irradiance object plane and the direct simulation of the error distribution with the model. The light source is modeled as a point source that has a certain amount of beam angle, and the luminance distribution on the irradiance plane is modeled as a Gaussian function with different deviation values. A simulation algorithm is devised to estimate the light source orientation computing the average luminance intensities obtained from the irradiance object planes positioned in three different orientations. The effect of the nonideal lighting model is directly reflected in such simulation, because of the analogy between the PSM and the proposed algorithm. With an instrumental tool designed to provide arbitrary orientations of the object plane at the origin of the coordinate system, experiment can be performed in a systematic way for the error analysis and compensation. Simulations are performed to find out the error distribution by widely varying the light model and the orientation set of the object plane. The simulation results are compared with those of the experiment performed in the same way as the simulation. It is confirmed from the experiment that a fair amount of errors is due to the erroneous effect of the general-purpose lighting environment.
