Processing of Scanning electron microscope imaging has been analyzed in both secondary electron (SE) imaging and backscattered electron (BSE) image. Because of unique characteristics of both secondary electron and backscattered electron image, mechanism of imaging process and image quality are quite different each other. For the sake of characterize imaging process, Monte Carlo simulation code have been developed. It simulates electron penetration and depth profile in certain material. In addition, secondary electron and backscattered electron generation process as well as their spatial distribution and energy characteristics can be simulated. Geometries that has fundamental feature have been imaged using the developed Monte Carlo code. Two, SE and BSE images generation process will be discussed. BSE imaging process can be readily used to discriminate in both material and geometry by simply changing position and direction of BSE detector. The developed MC code could be useful to design BSE detector and their position. Furthermore, surface reconstruction technique is possibly developed at the further research efforts. Basics of Monte Carlo simulation method will be discussed as well as characteristics of SE and BSE images.

In this paper, compatibility between different radio services or systems is analyzed when they are in adjacent band or co-channel. The first step of the compatibility analysis is establishing an interference scenario. And an interference pobability from an interfering transmitter to a victim receiver is calculated by means of Monte-Carlo simulation techniques. Then the calculated result is compared with the predefined interference criteria, maximum permissible interference probability and we can determine compatibility in accordance with the active interferer density, channel bandwidth, cell radius, distance between interfering transmitter and victim receiver, and duty cycle. It is assumed that Propagation modes are the free space model and extened Hata model.

A technique for the seismic reliability evaluation of electric power transmission network system(EPTS) was developed to evaluate reliability indices corresponding to the whole network system and to each node within. A network model with nodes and links for EPTS was established, and a seismic substation fragility curve obtained from seismic fragilities of power system facilities was derived. A point source model, the doubly truncated Gutenberg-Richter relationship, and earthquake intensity attenuation formula was applied to simulate seismic events. Using Monte-Carlo simulation method, the seismic reliability of EPTS was evaluated and, it appeared that seismic effect on EPTS of korea has to be considered.

Intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) often uses small beam segments. The heterogeneity effect is well known for relatively large field sizes used in the conventional radiation treatments. However, this effect is not known in small fields such as the beamlets used in IMRT. There are many factors that can cause errors in the small field i.e. electronic disequilibrium and multiple electron scattering. This study prepared geometrically regular heterogeneous phantoms, and compared the measurements with the calculations using the Convolution/Superposition algorithm and Monte Carlo method for small beams. This study used the BEAM00/EGS4 code to simulate the head of a Varian 2300C/D. The commissioning of a 6MV photon beam were performed from two points of view, the beam profiles and depth doses. The calculated voxel size was 1${\times}$1${\times}$2$\textrm{cm}^2$ with field sizes of 1${\times}$1$\textrm{cm}^2$, 2${\times}$2$\textrm{cm}^2$, and 5${\times}$5$\textrm{cm}^2$. The XiOTM TPS (Treatment Planning System) was used for the calculation using the Convolution/Superposition algorithm. The 6MV photon beam was irradiated to homogeneous (water equivalent) and heterogeneous phantoms (water equivalent ＋ air cavity, water equivalent ＋ bone equivalent). The beam profiles were well matched within :t1 mm and the depth doses were within ${\pm}$2%. In conclusion, the dose calculations of the Convolution/Superposition and Monte Carlo simulations showed good agreement with the film measurements in the small field.

칼만필터 알고리즘을 분포형 유출모형에 적용하였다. 관측 유량과 상태변수인 유역내 저류량을 갱신하고자 Q-S curve를 도입하였고, 갱신된 저류량과 모형에 의해 모의된 저류량의 비율을 유역 내 각 지점의 수위에 적용하므로써 분포화 된 상태변수를 효율적으로 갱신하였다. 갱신된 상태변수와 상태변수 오차의 시간갱신은 몬테 카를로 시뮬레이션을 이용하여 모의하였다.

Pt-Ni 합금의 질서-무질서 상전이 현상과 {111}표면에서의 편석현상을 Ising 형태의 해밀토니안 을 이용한 몬테 카를로 시뮬레이션으로 연구하였다. 표면 편석 현상을 질서-무질서 상전이 현상과 연관 시켜 고려함으로서 기존의 편석과 질서에 관한 실험 결과들을 좀 더 구체적으로 이해하게 하였다. PtxNi1-x{111} 의 경우 표면편석 현상은 덩어리의 상전이 온도 이전에서부터 나타나며 이는 표면이 덩어 리의 단면 형태의 질서와는 다른 화학적 질서를 갖는 특징에 기인하는 것임을 보았다. 표면 근방에만 한정된 진동하는 형태의 표면 편석현상을 보았고 이는 실험결과들과도 잘 일치하는 것을 알 수 있었다.

Ultrasonic inspection system consist of the operator, equipment and procedure. The reliability of results in ultrasonic inspection is affected by its ability. Furthermore, the reliability of nondestructive testing is influenced by the inspection environment, materials and types of defect. Therefore, it is very difficult to estimate the reliability of NDT due to the various factors. In this study, the probability of detection by logistic probability model and Monte Carlo simulation is used for the reliability assessment of ultrasonic inspection. The utility of the NDT reliability assesment is verified by the analysis of the data from round robin test nth these models.

Intelligent vehicle plans motion and navigate itself based on the surrounding environment perception. Hence, the precise environment recognition is an essential part of self-driving vehicle. There exist many vulnerable road users (e.g. vehicle, pedestrians) on vehicular driving environment, the vehicle must percept all the dynamic obstacles accurately for safety. In this paper, we propose an multiple vehicle tracking algorithm using microwave radar. Our proposed system includes various special features. First, exceptional radar measurement model for vehicle, concentrated on the corner, is described by mixture density network (MDN), and applied to particle filter weighting. Also, to conquer the curse of dimensionality of particle filter and estimate the time-varying number of multi-target states, reversible jump markov chain monte carlo (RJMCMC) is used to sampling step of the proposed algorithm. The robustness of the proposed algorithm is demonstrated through several computer simulations.

In this paper, we propose a collision risk assesment system. First, using Kalman Filter, we estimate the information of pedestrian, and second, we compute the collision probability using Monte Carlo Simulations(MCS) and neural network(NN). And we update the collision risk using time history which is called belief. Belief update consider not only output of Kalman Filter of only current time step but also output of Kalman Filter up to the first time step to current time step. The computer simulations will be shown the validity of our proposed method.

LCD 생산에 적용할 수 있는 대형 마그네트론 스퍼터 장비에서 공간적으로 불균일한 타겟 침식은 타겟의 사용 효율을 떨어뜨린다. 특히 직사각형의 외부 자석과 직선형태의 내부 자석 구조를 가진 마그네트론 스퍼터에서는 cross-corner 효과로 인해 국부적으로 일정 부분에 대한 상대적으로 높은 침식률이 문제가 된다. 이러한 문제를 해결하기 위해 국부적으로 자기장 세기를 바꾸는 시행착오를 통하여 실험적으로 문제를 해결하려는 방법이 있지만 비용 및 시간이 매우 많이 들어 전산모사를 통한 문제 해결 방법이 훨씬 유리하다. 우리는 몬테 카를로 방법에 기반한 3차원 입자 시뮬레이션을 통하여 마그네트론 스퍼터 장비를 모델링을 하였다. 직사각형의 외부와 직선형의 내부 자석 구조가 만들어 내는 정적인 공간 자기장의 분포는 OPERA3D를 이용하여 계산하였고, 플라즈마 입자들이 만들어내는 자기장에 의해 섭동영향을 받지 않는다고 가정하였다. 플라즈마 전기장 및 전하의 운동은 상호작용의 일관성이 유지되도록 계산하였다. 이온밀도의 공간분포는 내부 자석과 외부 자석 사이의 직선 부분 보다 cross-corner 효과가 일어나는 부분에서 상대적으로 더 높은 밀도분포를 보였다. 플라즈마 시뮬레이션을 통하여 얻은 타겟에 입사한 이온의 개수 및 속도에 대한 정보를 이용하여 타겟의 침식률을 계산하였다. 이러한 침식률을 계산하기 위한 시뮬레이션 기술은 산업용 대형 스퍼터 장비 연구 및 개발에 매우 효율적인 방법이 될 것이다.
