Recently, according to the limelight of Fintech, simple payment using biometric at smartphone is widely used. In this paper, we propose a new contactless biometric method using thumb image without additional sensors unlike previous biometrics such as fingerprint, iris, and vein recognition. In our method, length, width, and skin texture information are used as features. For that, illumination normalization, skin region segmentation, size normalization and alignment procedures are sequentially performed from the captured thumb image. Then, correlation coefficient is calculated for similarity measurement. To analyze recognition accuracy, genuine and imposter matchings are performed. At result, we confirmed the FAR of 1.68% at the FRR of 1.55%. In here, because the distribution of imposter matching is almost normal distribution, our method has the advantage of low FAR. That is, because 0% FAR can be achieved at the FRR of 15%, the proposed method is enough to 1:1 matching for payment verification.

In this paper, a $48{\times}64$ channel 2D array ultrasonic transducer with piezoelectric single crystals was designed, fabricated, and evaluated. Structure of the transducer was chosen to facilitate the electric connection on the planar array, and then components were fabricated in accordance with the structure. Detailed structure of the transducer was designed through finite element analyses. In order to improve the performance of the transducer, the crosstalk between adjacent elements was reduced through the control of kerf width and material, and the target frequency bandwidth was achieved through optimal design of the thickness of the single crystal and matching layers. After fabricating a prototype of the transducer according to the design and measuring its characteristics, the results were compared with those of finite element analyses to evaluate the performance of the developed transducer.

A multistandard direct-conversion mixer for WCDMA, Wibro, and 802.11a/b/g is designed in 0.18 um CMOS technology To support multistandard and to reduce the chip area the switched inductor is used as the matching method. This switched inductor matching network selects the mixer's operation frequency band by turning on or off the switch transistor. Since the performances of mixer and operation frequency can be affected by the parasitic of switch transistor the mixer should be designed with the optimized size of switch to minimize parasitic effects. Proposed mixer is able to achieve return loss less than -13 dB in $2.1\sim2.5GHz$ and $5.1\sim5.9GHz$ bands with the suitable performance to meet requirements of WCDMA, WiBro, and 802.11a/b/g.

The paper analyzes factors to affect pedestrian volumes by land-use type using 2012 Seoul Pedestrian Survey. First of all, five groups were classified based on land-use types around survey points such as residential, commercial, industrial and green uses, using k-average cluster analysis. Then, differences in average pedestrian volumes by group were compared for a day and time of day. In addition, multiple regression analysis was employed to identify factors to affect pedestrian volumes, considering physical features, land use types, public transportation accessibility, and socio-economic indices as independent variables by spatial hierarchy. Model results show that the walkway width positively influenced on pedestrian volumes for all groups, whereas other variables differently affected by group. Our results can be used as basic data for establishing polices with respect to pedestrian road design and improvement as well as estimating pedestrian demand by land-use type.

The purpose of this study is to analyze the formative characteristics of accordion pleats shown in 10/11 S/S London, Paris, New York collection and evaluate the differences of visual image by variations in the width of pleats and the length of the accordion pleats skirt. The stimuli are 21 samples: 7 variations of the width of pleats and 3 variations of the length of skirt. The data has been obtained from 43 fashion design majors. The data has been analyzed by Factor Analysis, Anova, Scheffe's Test. The results of the study are as follows: Accordion pleats was first introduced by Marriano Fortuny. He published delphos dress by creating silk pleats manufacturing technique and it was recognized as the best pleats work. Since then, pleats with synthetic fiber characteristics were used by many fashion designers. Accordion pleats were used in various items including one-peice, skirt and pants in collection of 2010 and 2011. The design of accordion pleats skirt used different width of pleats, length of the skirt and materials. The visual image by the width of pleats and the length of skirt are composed of 3 factors : dearness, attractiveness and elegance. In these factors, dearness factor is estimated by the most important factor. The accordion p1eats skirt is most attractive and dear when the width of pleats is the shortest, 1/8", and the width of 4/8" and 5/8" follows. The accordion pleats skirt is most attractive and dear when the length of skirt is similar to that of mini-skirt, and the skirt was estimated to be elegant as the skirt gets longer. When the length of skirt is in between, the skirts were estimated to be ambiguous in all visual images. The interaction effect of visual image according to the changes in width of pleats and skirt length of accordion pleats skirt was seemed to have significant differences by factors, and the main effect had great differences in all factors.

We propose a physical simulation method based on the shallow water equation(SWE) to represent water surface effectively. In this paper, the water which can be represented has a much larger width compared to the depth does not have a large vertical direction flow. In order to calculate the water flow efficiently, we start with the shallow water equation as the governing equation, which is a simplified version of the Navier-Stokes equation. In order to numerically calculate the advection term of the SWE, we introduce a new conservtive USCIP(CUSCIP) method which improves the Constrained Interpolation Profile (CIP) method to preserve the physical quantity while increasing the numerical accuracy. The proposed method is based on Kim et. al.'s Unsplit Semi-lagrangian CIP[9], and calculates advection term with additional constraints on term that consider integral values. The experimental results show that the CUSCIP method is robust to the loss of physical quantity due to numerical dissipation, which improves wave detail and persistence.

시각과 관련된 정서 연구 중에서 색에 대한 연구나 움직임에 대한 연구는 많이 이루어져 왔으나 정적인 형태 자체에서 감성을 불러일으킬 수 있는가에 대한 연구는 많이 이루어지지 않았다. 따라서 이 논문에서는 2차원적인 형태 중, 모든 형태의 기본이 되는 3가지 기본적인 도형(삼각형, 사각형, 원)을 중심으로 도형의 물리적 속성에 따른 감성 차이가 있는지를 살펴보고자 하였다. 도형의 물리적 속성은 물체 인식과 시각 디자인에서 중요시되는 요소인 방향성, 정형성, 비례, 예리함을 중심으로 감성이 어떻게 달라지는지를 살펴보았다. 그 결과 방향성, 정형성, 비례, 예리함에 따라 도형에 따른 감성의 차이가 모두 존재함을 알 수 있었다. 도형간의 차이는 쾌 불쾌 차원에서는 원으로 갈수록 쾌함을 확인했고 각성 차원에서는 삼각형으로 갈수록 각성이 높아짐을 알 수 있었다. 방향성은 수평, 수직보다 기울어진 형태에서 쾌하고 각성이 낮음을 알 수 있었다. 비례는 너비와 높이의 비가 1:1 일 때 각성이 가장 낮고 쾌한 정도가 상대적으로 가장 높음을 알 수 있었고 비정형 도형일수록 불쾌하고 각성이 높음을 알 수 있었다. 아울러 도형과, 방향성 비례 그리고 정형성간의 상호작용 측면도 살펴보았고 어떤 요소가 더 영향을 미칠 수 있는지도 살펴보았다. 이러한 결과를 바탕으로 도형이 어떤 속성이 이러한 감성을 불러일으키는 요인인지를 알아보기 위한 추가실험도 실시하였다. 그 결과 도형의 속성 중 모서리의 예리함이 감성차이를 불러일으킬 수 있는 요인이 될 수 있음을 알 수 있었고 선 형태와의 상호 작용 시 예리함이 감성에 더 영향을 미칠 수 있는 요인임을 추론할 수 있었다. 이러한 도형이 주는 감성 연구는 도형의 감성적인 평가 과정이 인지와 정서간의 관계를 설명해 줄 수 있는 내용이 될 수 있다는 점에서 의의가 있다. 아울러 기본이 되는 도형의 형태로부터 감성의 차이가 있음을 확인함으로써 제품의 물리적 디자인에 대한 가이드라인을 제공해 줄 수 있을 것이라 예상된다. 특히 각성 상태가 인지적 수행에 중요한 영향을 미칠 수 있다는 사실로부터 학습도구에서의 도형의 효과적인 사용을 제안하고자 한다.

The intelligent excavating system(IES), the development in South Korea of which has been underway since 2006, aims for the full-scale automation of the excavation process that includes a series of tasks such as movement, excavation and loading. The core elements to ensure the quality and safety of the automated excavation equipment include 3D modeling of terrain that surrounds the excavating robot and the technology for detecting objects accurately(i.e., for detecting the location of nearby loading trucks and humans as well as of obstacles positioned on the movement paths). Therefore the purpose of this research is to ensure the quality and safety of automated excavation detecting the objects surrounding the excavating robot via a 3D laser scanning system. In this paper, an algorithm for estimating the location, height, width, and shape of objects in the 3D-realized terrain that surrounds the location of the excavator was proposed. The performance of the algorithm was verified via tests in an actual earthwork field.

This article aims to evaluate the visual effects and images according to the changes in the width of pleats of accordion pleats skirt. I altered the width of the pleats to seven categories in changes of 0.5cm, 0.7cm, l.0cm, 1.3cm, 2.0cm, 2.5cm and 3.0cm. For the visual evaluation, seven stimuli had been placed in mannequins, and had been estimated by experts in fashion design. For the visual evaluation according to changes in the width of pleats of according pleats skirt. I used 11 pairs of items to find their visual effects, and 17 pairs of adjectives to measure the visual images. Those stimuli and adjectives had been randomly given to evaluators and had been evaluated by the seven-point Likert type scale. The data have been analyzed by frequency, factor analysis, ANOVA, Scheffes test and correlation analysis. According to factor analysis of the visual effects of the accordion pleats skirt, the result was classified into three factors: the verticality of the lower body, flexuosity of the lower body, and shape of the abdomen. According to factor analysis of the visual image of the accordion pleats skirt, the result was classified into the following three factors: activity, attraction and neatness. In visual effects, the verticality of the lower body had been assessed as the most important factor of all. The visual effect was positive when the width of pleats had been narrowed. In visual image, activity had been assessed as the most important factor. In the case of accordion pleats skirt, as the width of pleats became wider, it had a stronger image in being active and casual.
