Seismic tomography has been widely used as high resolution subsurface imaging techniques in engineering applications. Although most of the techniques have been using travel time inversion, waveform method is being driven forward owing to the progress of computational environments. Although full-waveform inversion method has been known as the best method in terms of model resolving power without high-frequency restriction and weak scattering approximation, it has practical disadvantage that it is apt to get stuck in local minimum if the initial guess is far from the actual model and it consumes so much time to calculate. In this study, 2-D full-waveform inversion algorithm in acoustic medium is developed, which uses result of traveltime tomography as initial model. From the application on synthetic data, it is proved that this approach can efficiently reduce the problem of conventional approaches: our algorithm shows much faster convergence rate and improvement of model resolution. Result of application on physical modeling data also shows much improvement. It is expected that this algorithm can be applicable to real data.

Saliency는 인간의 시각에서 관심 영역이나 객체를 찾기 위한 기법으로 최근 영상 리타겟팅, 영상분할 등에 다양하게 활용되고 있다. 기존 제안된 방법들을 전체영상을 대상으로 saliency map을 구하게 되어, 복잡한 객체들의 구성, 큰 전경객체들의 존재 등의 경우에는 성능이 저하되는 문제점이 있다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 배경이 존재하는 영상들을 대상으로 기존 방식중의 하나인 histogram based contrast(HBC)을 개선하는 방법을 제안한다. 배경영역의 빈도확률을 HBC에 적용하여 배경에 존재하는 픽셀값의 saliency을 감소하면, 상대적으로 전경에 존재하는 픽셀들의 saliency는 증가하게 된다. 실험에서는 제안한 기법으로 배경의 saliency는 감소하고, 전경객체는 증가하는 것을 증명하였다.

감시, 인지, 보안 시스템으로부터 얻은 비디오 영상에서 원하는 객체를 탐지해 내는 것은 매우 중요하다. 객체 추출 방법은 여러 가지가 있지만 가장 많이 쓰이는 방법이 배경을 이용하는 방법이다. 이때 실외 환경에 설치된 카메라의 경우 날씨, 시간에 따른 태양의 밝기등과 영상 내의 객체의 변화 량에 따라서 효율적으로 적응할 수 배경 추출 알고리즘이 필요하다. 본 논문에서는 빠르고 정확하게 배경을 얻기 위한 기본적인 방법인 평균값과 최빈값을 이용한 방법을 혼합하여 영상의 변화 량에 따른 빠르고 정확한 배경을 추출하는 알고리즘을 제안하고자 한다.

본 논문에서는 실내외의 환경에서 강건하게 동작하는 움직임 검출 알고리즘을 제안한다. 시간적 평활법(temporal mean)과 시간적 중간치법(temporal median)을 이용한 배경영상의 추출에 의한 움직임 검출 알고리즘은 일반적으로 좋은 성능을 나타내지만, 일정한 영역내에서 발생하는 '반복적인 움직임'에 대해서는 움직임 검출에서 오 인식(false alarm)을 자주 발생시킨다. 이러한 문제 해결을 위해 하나의 화소에 다중의 배경값을 허용하여, 반복적인 움직임에 대해 보다 강건한 동작을 할 수 있는 다중 배경분포를 이용한 움직임 검출 알고리즘을 제안하였다. 실험 결과, 제안된 알고리즘은 다양한 반복적인 움직임에 대해서 기존의 방법들에 비해 월등한 성능을 나타내었다.

In this paper, we proposed a content-based image retrieval algorithm using local binary patterns and HSV color histogram. Images are retrieved using image input in image retrieval system. Many researches are based on global feature distribution such as color, texture and shape. These techniques decrease the retrieval performance in images which contained background the large amount of image. To overcome this drawback, the proposed method extract background fast and emphasize the feature of object by shrinking the background. The proposed method uses HSV color histogram and Local Binary Patterns. We also extract the Local Binary Patterns in quantized Hue domain. Experimental results show that the proposed method 82% precision using Corel 1000 database.

This paper describes new moving target detection technique combining two algorithms to detect targets and reject clutters in video frame images for surveillance system: One obtains the region of moving target using phase correlation method using $N{\times}M$ sub-block images in frequency domain. The other uses adaptive threshold using learning weight for extracting target candidates in subtracted image. The block region with moving target can be obtained using the characteristics that the highest value of phase correlation depends on the movement of largest image in block. This technique can be used in camera motion environment calculating and compensating camera movement using FFT phase correlation between input video frame images. The experimental results show that the proposed algorithm accurately detects target(s) with a low false alarm rate in variety environment using the receiver operating characteristics (ROC) curve.

Background subtraction is mainly used for the real-time extraction and tracking of moving objects from image sequences. In the outdoor environment, there are many changeable factor such as gradually changing illumination, swaying trees and suddenly moving objects, which are to be considered for the adaptive processing. Normally, GMM(Gaussian Mixture Model) is used to subtract the background adaptively considering the various changes in the scenes, and the adaptive GMMs improving the real-time performance were worked. This paper, for on-line background subtraction, applied the improved adaptive GMM, which uses the small constant for learning rate ${\alpha}$ and is not able to speedily adapt the suddenly movement of objects, So, this paper proposed and evaluated the dynamic control method of ${\alpha}$ using the adaptive selection of the number of component distributions and the global variances of pixel values.

In situ measurement of a primary production in East Sea, a marginal sea with a fair accessibility, is nonetheless an arduous task because of dynamic variability. In this study, we estimated the mean value of background (gross) primary production over the warm region of the East Sea based on a biogeochemical hypothesis. We propose an immiscible-shoaling hypothesis for the estimation of primary production, which assumes that primary production in the warm region occurred only by the nutrient supply through the Korea Strait. Annual primary production thus estimated is $209\;gC\;m^{-2}\;y^{-1}$, which is comparable to the satellite-based estimates of net primary production in the region. However, since this hypothesis assumes that primary production is based on only the new nutrients supplied to the system, primary production would increase by 40% if we release the assumption, and assume f = 0.6. This suggests that nutrient influx through the Korea Strait alone is more than enough to support primary production previously reported. Primary production may increase as much as two times if we considered other external perturbations excluded intentionally to estimate the background level of primary production, such as coastal upwelling, submerged ground water discharge, aeolian input, ocean dumping, and mixing by typhoons as well as the contribution of cyanobacteria that has not been quantified in the region. This implies the primary production in the warm region of the East Sea would be comparable to that of the Peru upwelling region with f = 0.6.

In this paper, we propose a new background generation method for image detector for traffic information collection. Conventional methods result in bad performance when there are frequent traffic jams due to heavy traffic. To improve on this, we use high level information from vehicle detection. Only part of the image that is not considered as vehicle is used in background generation. The proposed method finds background more robustly than that of the conventional methods even in the presence of heavy traffic.

Assigning an exact boundary condition is of great importance in three-dimensional (3D) magnetotelluric (MT) modeling, in which no source is considered in a computing domain. This paper presents a 3D MT modeling algorithm utilizing a Dirichlet condition for a 2D host. To compute boundary values for a model with a 2D host, we need to conduct additional 2D MT modeling. The 2D modeling consists of transverse magnetic and electric modes, which are determined from the relationship between the polarization of plane wave and the strike direction of the 2D structure. Since the 3D MT modeling algorithm solves Maxwell's equations for electric fields using the finite difference method with a staggered grid that defines electric fields along cell edges, electric fields are calculated at the same place in the 2D modeling. The algorithm developed in this study can produce reliable MT responses for a 3D model with a 2D host.
