This paper propose a method that controls facial expression of 3D avatar by having the user select a sequence of facial expressions in the space of facial expressions. And we setup its system. The space of expression is created from about 2400 frames consist of motion captured data of facial expressions. To represent the state of each expression, we use the distance matrix that represents the distances between pairs of feature points on the face. The set of distance matrices is used as the space of expressions. But this space is not such a space where one state can go to another state via the straight trajectory between them. We derive trajectories between two states from the captured set of expressions in an approximate manner. First, two states are regarded adjacent if the distance between their distance matrices is below a given threshold. Any two states are considered to have a trajectory between them If there is a sequence of adjacent states between them. It is assumed . that one states goes to another state via the shortest trajectory between them. The shortest trajectories are found by dynamic programming. The space of facial expressions, as the set of distance matrices, is multidimensional. Facial expression of 3D avatar Is controled in real time as the user navigates the space. To help this process, we visualized the space of expressions in 2D space by using the multidimensional scaling(MDS). To see how effective this system is, we had users control facial expressions of 3D avatar by using the system. As a result of that, users estimate that system is very useful to control facial expression of 3D avatar in real-time.

The stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) describes a method of delivering a high dose of radiation to a small tar-get volume in the brain, generally in a single fraction, while the dose delivered to the surrounding normal tissue should be minimized. To perform automatic plan of the SRS, a new method of multi-isocenter/shot linear accelerator (linac) and gamma knife (GK) radiosurgery treatment plan was developed, based on a physical lattice structure in target. The optimal radiosurgical plan had been constructed by many beam parameters in a linear accelerator or gamma knife-based radiation therapy. In this work, an isocenter/shot was modeled as a sphere, which is equal to the circular collimator/helmet hole size because the dimension of the 50% isodose level in the dose profile is similar to its size. In a computer-aided system, it accomplished first an automatic arrangement of multi-isocenter/shot considering two parameters such as positions and collimator/helmet sizes for each isocenter/shot. Simultaneously, an irregularly shaped target was approximated by cubic structures through computation of voxel units. The treatment planning method by the technique was evaluated as a dose distribution by dose volume histograms, dose conformity, and dose homogeneity to targets. For irregularly shaped targets, the new method performed optimal multi-isocenter packing, and it only took a few seconds in a computer-aided system. The targets were included in a more than 50% isodose curve. The dose conformity was ordinarily acceptable levels and the dose homogeneity was always less than 2.0, satisfying for various targets referred to Radiation Therapy Oncology Group (RTOG) SRS criteria. In conclusion, this approach by physical lattice structure could be a useful radiosurgical plan without restrictions in the various tumor shapes and the different modality techniques such as linac and GK for SRS.

In the study, the effects of damping devices on damping ratio increase and wind-load reduction were investigated based on the computational platform, which is one of the parametric modeling methods. The computational platform helps the designers or engineers to evaluate the efficacy of the numerous alternative structural systems for irregular Super-Tall building, which is crucial in determining the capacity and the number of the supplemental damping devices for adding the required damping ratios to the building. The inherent damping ratio was estimated based on the related domestic and foreign researches conducted by using real wind-load records. Two types of damping devices were considered: One is inter-story installation type passive control devices and the other is mass type active control devices. The supplemental damping ratio due to the damping devices was calculated by means of equivalent static analysis using an equation suggested by FEMA. The optimal design of the damping devices was conducted by using the computational platform. The structural element quantity reduction effect resulting from the installation of the damping devices could be simply assessed by proposing a wind-load reduction factor, and the effectiveness of the proposed method was verified by a numerical example of a 455m high-rise building. The comparison between roof displacement and the story shear forces by the nonlinear time history analysis and the proposed method indicated that the proposed method could simply but approximately estimate the effects of the supplemental damping devices on the roof displacement and the member force reduction.

스마트팜 내부의 3차원 공간의 온도, 습도, 기압, 공기질 분석을 통한 돈사 미세 조절 기술에 대한 연구가 진행 중이다. 해당 특성 중에서 기압을 제외한 환경인자들은 돈사 내의 구조 특성상 위치별로, 시간별로 매우 상이한 변이의 형태를 보인다. 일정 시점을 기준으로 계측 지점 이외의 지점에 대한 환경인자들을 공간적으로 추정하는 기술은 대표적으로 컴퓨터 분석 기술에 의존하고 있다. 시간 복잡도가 매우 높은 CFD(Computer Fluid Dynamics) 방식은 정밀도 측면에서 유리하나, 상응하는 제어 기술/하드웨어 등의 부재로 모델링 결과의 활용도가 낮다고 볼 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 CFD를 수행하는 과정에 있어 실질적으로 유효한 단위로 공간 분해능을 낮추고, 동등한 크기의 세부 공간에 대한 모델링을 병렬적으로 수행하기 위한 방안을 연구하였다. 실험적으로 돈사 환경을 3차원으로 구성하기 위하여, 공기 흡입구, 배출구, 기둥, 덕트 요소를 포함시켰다. 실내 공간을 1차적으로 가로, 세로, 높이방향으로 $3{\times}3{\times}3$ 균등 분배한 후 3차원 행렬로 분할하였다. 각 분할된 행렬에 대한 연산 수행을 위하여 현재까지 대중에 공개된 SBC(Single Board Computer) 중 가장 높은 연산 수행 능력이 있는 Odroid-XU4(Hardkernel, AnYang, Korea) 16식을 병렬 클러스터링 기술로 연동하였다. 하나의 AP당 8개의 코어가 내장되어 있으므로, 총 128개의 코어를 이용하여 동시에 128개의 3D 정방행렬 연산이 가능하도록 구성하였다. 모델링을 위한 수학적 모델로는 실험적으로 Steady turbulent model (Newtonian coefficient)을 이용하였다. 클러스터링을 이용한 병렬 처리의 특성상 균등한 정보량을 동시에 배분해야 하므로 108 ($27{\times}4$)개의 코어를 이용하여 1차적으로 나뉜 공간을 다시 4등분하여 동시에 $12{\times}12{\times}12$에 해당하는 공간 분해능에 대한 처리를 동시에 수행할 수 있도록 하였다. 2단계에 걸쳐 분할한 공간 세그먼트에 대한 클러스터링 연산 수행 결과 초당 15회 정도의 연산을 수행할 수 있었으며, 시간 분해능을 100으로 설정한 경우 약 5초가 수행되었다. 선행적으로 수행하였던 CFD 모델링 (OpenFOAM)과 비교하였을 때 상대적으로 정밀도가 낮은 3차원 모델링 결과를 얻을 수 있었다. 모델링에 소요되는 시간을 비약적으로 경감 시킨 장점을 살려 적정한 공간 분할 기법과 추가로 발생하는 다수의 바운더리 조건을 근사적으로 추정할 수 있는 데이터 마이닝 기술이 보완되어야 할 것이다.

The shock fracture analysis for the structures of navy vessels subject to underwater explosions or of high speed vessels frequently subject to impact loads has been carried out in two steps such as the global or macro analysis and the fine or micro analysis. In the macro analysis, Doubly Asymptotic Approximation(DAA) has been applied. The three main failure modes of structure members subject to strong shock loading are late time fracture mode such as plastic large deformation mainly due to dynamic plastic buckling, and the early time fracture mode such as tensile tearing failure or transverse shear failure. In this paper, the tensile tearing failure mode is numerically analyzed for the micro analysis by calculating the dynamic stress intensity factor $K_I(t)$, which shows the relation between stress wave and crack propagation on the longitudinal stiffener of the model. Especially, in calculating this factor, the numerical caustic method developed from shadow optical method of caustic well known as experimental method is used. The fully submerged vessel is adopted for the macro analysis at first, of which the longitudinal stiffener, subject to early shock pressure time history calculated in macro analysis, is adopted for the micro analysis.

유역 수자원의 효율적인 관리 및 배분을 위해서는 세밀한 강우-유출관계의 규명이 무엇보다 중요하다. 이를 위해서는 먼저 하천 유출지점의 정확한 유량정보가 획득되어야 하며, 장기간에 걸쳐 신뢰성 있는 유량자료의 확보는 더욱 중요한 사항이다. 본 연구에서는 하천에서 관측된 유량자료를 장기간(1983년${\sim}$2004년)에 걸친 유출성분으로 분리하는 기법을 활용하여 제어지점의 유출량을 검증하였다. 유량자료를 출구지점의 관측유량$(Q_{ob})$을 회귀수$({\alpha}Q_e)$, 상류유입량$(Q_{up})$ 및 관측강우-유출량$({\beta}Q_{Rain})$의 성분으로 구분하여 산정하는 방식으로 유출량을 추정하였다. 여기서, 회귀수$({\alpha}Q_e)$란 유역 및 하도내 용수이용량의 회귀수, 상류유입량$(Q_{up})$은 상류 유출 제어지점의 관측유량으로 대청댐 방류량, 관측강우-유출량$({\beta}Q_{Rain})$은 유역내 강우에 의한 자연유출량이다. 여기서 사용된 수문기초자료는 대청댐 방류량, 대전 및 청주권 취수량, 강우에 의한 자연유출량, 공주관측유량 등으로 각 성분별로 생성된 일자료를 이용하여 공주지점의 월별, 분기별, 년도별 유출량을 산정하였다. 이 결과는 금강유역에 이미 구축되어있는 SSARR모형을 기반으로 한 RRFS(Rainfall Runoff Forecasting System, 유출예측 시스템)의 결과 및 관측치와 비교되었다. 계산결과 RRFS에 의한 유출량과 대청-공주구간의 유출성분분리에 의한 유출량은 관측값과 전반적으로 근사함을 확인하였으며, 검증지점의 정확한 유출율을 산정할 수 있다면, 관측자료의 연속성 및 신뢰도를 파악하는 척도를 제공할 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.측결과 있는 대상유역에 대한 적용이 요구된다.-Moment 방법에 의해 추정된 매개변수를 사용한 Power 분포를 적용하였으며 이들 분포의 적합도를 PPCC Test를 사용하여 평가해봄으로써 낙동강 유역에서의 저수시의 유출량 추정에 대한 Power 분포의 적용성을 판단해 보았다. 뿐만 아니라 이와 관련된 수문요소기술을 확보할 수 있을 것이다.역의 물순환 과정을 보다 명확히 규명하고자 노력하였다.으로 추정되었다.면으로의 월류량을 산정하고 유입된 지표유량에 대해서 배수시스템에서의 흐름해석을 수행하였다. 그리고, 침수해석을 위해서는 2차원 침수해석을 위한 DEM기반 침수해석모형을 개발하였고, 건물의 영향을 고려할 수 있도록 구성하였다. 본 연구결과 지표류 유출 해석의 물리적 특성을 잘 반영하며, 도시지역의 복잡한 배수시스템 해석모형과 지표범람 모형을 통합한 모형 개발로 인해 더욱 정교한 도시지역에서의 홍수 범람 해석을 실시할 수 있을 것으로 판단된다. 본 모형의 개발로 침수상황의 시간별 진행과정을 분석함으로써 도시홍수에 대한 침수위험 지점 파악 및 주민대피지도 구축 등에 활용될 수 있을 것으로 판단된다. 있을 것으로 판단되었다.4일간의 기상변화가 자발성 기흉 발생에 영향을 미친다고 추론할 수 있었다. 향후 본 연구에서 추론된 기상변화와 기흉 발생과의 인과관계를 확인하고 좀 더 구체화하기 위한 연구가 필요할 것이다.게 이루어질 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.는 초과수익률이 상승하지만, 이후로는 감소하므로, 반전거래전략을 활용하는 경우 주식투자기간은 24개월이하의 중단기가 적합함을 발견하였다. 이상의 행태적 측면과 투자성과측면의 실증결과를 통하여 한국주식시장에 있어서 시장수익률을 평균적으로 초과할 수 있는 거래전략은 존재하므로 이러한 전략을 개발 및 활용할 수 있으며, 특히, 한국주식시장에 적합한 거래전략은 반전거래전략이고, 이 전략의 유용성은 투자자가 설정한 투자기간보다 더욱 긴

This paper proposes an efficient approach for hardware implementation of moving object detection (MOD) processor using effective Gaussian mixture learning (EGML)-based background subtraction method. Arithmetic units used in background generation were implemented using LUT-based approximation to reduce hardware complexity. Hardware resources used for both background subtraction and Gaussian probability density calculation were shared. The MOD processor was verified by FPGA-in-the-loop simulation using MATLAB/Simulink. The MOD performance was evaluated by using six types of video defined in IEEE CDW-2014 dataset, which resulted the average of recall value of 0.7700, the average of precision value of 0.7170, and the average of F-measure value of 0.7293. The MOD processor was implemented with 882 slices and block RAM of $146{\times}36kbits$ on Virtex5 FPGA, resulting in 60% hardware reduction compared to conventional design based on EGML. It was estimated that the MOD processor could operate with 75 MHz clock, resulting in real-time processing of $800{\times}600$ video with a frame rate of 39 fps.

Recently, the demand for electric energy has been increasing due to the spread of hybrid electric vehicles. In this study, to meet this demand, the ANSYS MAXWELL electromagnetic simulation system was used to compare the power generation characteristics of three types of suspension system that can generate electricity using energy harvesting technology. Next, the optimal design was determined for each model by using the commercial PIDO (Process Integration and Design Optimization) tool, PIANO (Process Integration, Automation and Optimization). We selected three design variables and constructed an approximate model based on the experimental design method through electromagnetic analysis for 18 experimental points derived from Orthogonal Arrays among the experimental design methods. Then, we determined the optimal design by applying the Evolutionary Algorithm. Finally, the optimal design results were verified by electromagnetic simulation of the optimum design result model using the same analysis conditions as those of the initial model. After comparing the power generation characteristics for the optimal structure for each linear generator model, the maximum power generation amounts in the 8pole-8slot, 12pole-12slot, and 16pole-16slot structures were 366.5W, 466.7W and 579.7W, respectively, and it was found that as the number of slots and poles increases, the power generation increases.

In this paper, we propose a new bitrate control scheme to improve the quality of image encoded by SVC and to resolve the problems of conventional scheme. In JSVM2.0, bitrate of a frame is controlled by an initial quantization parameter and scaling factor that it hasdifferent value according to frame. Itis difficult to get the best of video quality at arbitrary bitrate because the conventional scheme has two defects. One is that we have to know proper initial QP's fur all sequences. Another is that QP's control skill for macroblocks is very inefficient. In this paper, we propose an efficient bit allocation algorithm to reduce the effect of the initial QP and to increase the efficiency of bit allocation by using proper QP's for macroblocks. In simulation results, it can be seen that using the proposed scheme enables the SVC encoder to control the bitrate by the macroblock unit and outperforms the conventional schemes in the respect of rate-distortion.

The transmitter of quadrature multiplexed GMSK (QM-GMSK) is composed of two quadrature multiplexed GMSK modulators. QM-GMSK has a slightly increased spectrum main lobe compared with $Q^2PSK$ or QMSK, but it has highly suppressed side lobes. As a result, practical spectrum efficiency of QM-GMSK is achieved. By replacing the baseband elementary pulses of QM-GMSK with their approximate, the squared sinusoid of half-period, offset-$Q^2PSK$($OQ^2PSK$) is obtained. The $OQ^2PSK$ signal has similar spectral properties to QM-GMSK. The transmitter of $OQ^2PSK$ can be simply implemented without the Gaussian lowpass filter, which is required in QM-GMSK transmitter. In this paper, we propose an overlapped pulse shaping in $OQ^2PSK$ with RC(raised-cosine) or SRC(squared raised-cosine) pulses of length longer than the symbol period. Power spectrum of the proposed modulation scheme exhibits further suppressed side lobes, hence enhanced spectrum efficiency is obtained. Simulation results indicate that BER performance of the proposed scheme is comparable to that of $OQ^2PSK$.
