In probabilistic seismic analysis of nonlinear structural system, dynamic analysis is performed to obtain the distribution of the response estimate using input ground motion time histories which correspond to a given seismic hazard level. This study investigates the differences in the distribution of the responses and the failure probability according to input ground motion models. Two types of input ground motion models are considered: real earthquake records scaled to specified intensity level and artificial input ground motion fitted to design response spectrum. Simulation results fir a nonlinear SDOF system demonstrate that the spectrum matched input ground motion produces larger failure probability than those of scaled input ground motion due to biased responses. Such tendency is more remarkable in the site of soft soil conditions. Analysis results show that such difference of failure probability is due to the conservative estimation of design response spectrum in the range of long period of ground motion.

This paper proposes an efficient method for selecting ground motions with the mean response spectrum matching a target spectrum. Since former studies reported that the shape and amplitude of the response spectra can be treated independently for selecting ground motions, this study first selects ground motions such that the shape of their mean response spectrum matches that of the target spectrum, then scales the ground motions. To select the ground motions best matching the shape of the target response spectrum, the standard deviation of the difference between the target response spectrum and the mean response spectrum of the selected ground motions needs to be minimized. Unlike the existing procedure, the scaling factor can be computed without iteration. Based on the selection results of 7 ground motions from a library of 40 ground motions, the proposed method is verified as an accurate and efficient method.

Multilevel inkjet printer employs multiple ink droplets with variable dot size and/or different concentrations intended to preserve high fidelity color reproduction and the appearance of continuous tone. A variety of research efforts on multitoning techniques has progressed toward better image quality. However, banding artifacts appear due to the same dot distributions near the printable output levels. This results in discontinuity and visually unpleasing output, especially at the smooth tone transition region. In this paper, to reduce the banding artifacts, a multitoning method to arrange ink distribution by controlling the blending proportion of adjacent output pixels based on an improved threshold scaling function is proposed. Ink distributions across the banding regions are changed according to two factors of the threshold scaling function because these factors handle the blending point of adjacent output pixel. Therefore, 8 observers, subjectively investigated ink distributions around the printable output levels for a set of the improved threshold scaling function. For a threshold scaling function with the specific factor values, we can achieve smoother visual transition. In the experiment, the proposed method showed a reduction of banding artifacts in both u-ay and color image and represented better Performance of color reproduction.

We derive a modified version of cubic convolution interpolation for the enlargement or reduction of digital images by arbitrary scaling factors. The proposed scaling scheme is used to resize various format pictures in the transcoding system, which transforms the bitstream compressed at a bit rate, such as the HD bitstream, into another bit rate stream. In many applications such as the transcoder, the resolution conversion is very important for changing the image size while the scaled image maintains high quality. We focus on the modification of the scaler kernel according to the relation between formats of the original and the resized image. In the modification, various formats defined in MPEG standards are considered. We show experimental results that demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed interpolation method.

최근 휴대폰에서 개인 정보 보안의 중요성이 대두되고 있으며, 이에 따라 생체인식 기능을 내장한 휴대폰에 관심이 집중되고 있으므로, 본 논문에서는 휴대용 기기에 홍채인식기술을 적용하기 위한 방법을 제안하고 하다. 기존의 홍채인식 알고리즘은 인식을 위해 확대된 홍채영상을 사용하여 처리하였고, 이러한 홍채영상을 획득하기 위해서 고 배율의 줌 렌즈(zoom lens)와 초점 렌즈(focus lens)를 사용하였다. 그런데, 휴대폰에서의 홍채인식을 시도하기 위해 줌렌즈와 초점렌즈를 장착하게 되면 가격이 상승하고 부피가 증가되어, 작고 휴대하기 편리한 휴대폰의 특징에 맞지 않아 사용하기 어려운 문제가 있다. 그러나 최근 휴대폰의 멀티미디어 기기 융복합 추세로 인해 휴대폰 내에 장착된 메가 픽셀 카메라(Mega-pixel Camera)의 성능이 급속히 발전함에 따라, 고 배율의 줌, 초점 렌즈 없이도 확대된 홍채영상의 획득이 가능하게 되었다. 즉, 메가 픽셀 카메라 폰을 사용하여 사용자로부터 원거리에서 취득한 얼굴영상에서 홍채 영역이 홍채인식을 위해 충분한 픽셀정보를 가지게 된다. 그러나 이러한 경우 입력 얼굴영상에서 눈 영역을 먼저 찾는 과정이 요구된다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 얼굴영상에서 각막에 의해 반사되는 조명 반사광을 기반으로 휴대폰에서의 홍채인식을 위한 고속 동공검출 방법을 제안한다. 또한 입력 영상 신호를 디지털 신호로 변환하는 과정에서 밝기와 대조 값을 조정하여 동공의 검은 영역과 조명 밝은 반사 위치를 추출함으로써, 정확한 홍채 영역을 보다 빠르고 쉽게 추출할 수 있는 방법 역시 제안한다. 그리고 일반적으로 휴대폰에서 홍채 인식의 경우 손으로 들고 사용하므로, 손 흔들림에 의한 영상 흐림 현상이 빈번하게 발생하게 된다. 이러한 문제를 해결하기 위하여 본 연구에서는 영상 복원 기법을 적용하여 흐려진 홍채 영상을 복원하는 기법을 제안한다. 마지막으로, 휴대폰의 경우 실외에서 사용이 빈번함으로, 입력 홍채 영상에서 태양광에 의한 영향을 많이 받게 된다. 이러한 문제를 해결하여 홍채 인식 성능을 개선할 수 있는 방법 역시 소개하고자 한다.

A floating optical system is a system that moves more than 2 groups to focus at the camera lens. At the camera optics, the floating system that is mainly used is an optical system such as a macro lens which changes magnification very much. When the floating system is assembled and fabricated in the factory, there are differences between the image plane of the sensor and the focal plane of the infinity or macro state. Therefore, in a considerable proportion of cases, the focus adjustment to minimize the difference of BWD(Back Working Distance) is carried out in the process of manufacturing. In this paper, in order to decide the movement of each group in a floating system, we evaluated the rotation angle of CAM for the focus adjustment. We know that the maximum magnification of macro state is corrected by this numerical method for the focus adjustment, too. We investigated the limit of CAM rotation angle of the system by using statistical analysis for CAM rotation angle, which uses the focus adjustment of the floating system with symmetric error factors.

This thesis suggests a new algorithm to detects multiple moving objects using a CMODE(Correct Multiple Object DEtection) method in the color images acquired in real-time and to track the interested pedestrian using motion and hue information. The multiple objects are detected, and then shaking trees or moving cars are removed using structural characteristics and shape information of the man , the interested pedestrian can be detected, The first similarity judgment for tracking an interested pedestrian is to use the distance between the previous interested pedestrian's centroid and the present pedestrian's centroid. For the area where the first similarity is detected, three feature points are calculated using k-mean algorithm, and the second similarity is judged and tracked using the average hue value for the $3{\times}3$ area of each feature point. The zooming of camera is adjusted to track an interested pedestrian at a long distance easily and the FOV(Field of View) of camera is adjusted in case the pedestrian is not situated in the fixed range of the screen. As a experiment results, comparing the suggested CMODE method with the labeling method, an average approach rate is one fourth of labeling method, and an average detecting time is faster three times than labeling method. Even in a complex background, such as the areas where trees are shaking or cars are moving, or the area of shadows, interested pedestrian detection is showed a high detection rate of average 96.5%. The tracking of an interested pedestrian is showed high tracking rate of average 95% using the information of situation and hue, and interested pedestrian can be tracked successively through a camera FOV and zooming adjustment.

Over the last few years computer based image processing has become more prominent in forensic science. The image quality from many CCTV systems is too poor for facial recognition. but there are other human characteristics which allow us to recognize individuals from a distance. one of these parameters is a human's height. In this paper, we propose useful height measurement method by auto Position, size adjustment which uses image superimposition and edge detection regardless of lens distortion and not uses conventional photogrammetry calibration methods.
