Multi-layered material (sandwich panel) consists of double-sided steel plate which is incombustible material or similar material and core material which is not incombustible material. In case of sandwich panel which uses combustible material as insulation, flames spread inside the steel plate at the time of fire so that it is difficult to extinguish fire from the outside and flames spread rapidly and may cause the building to collapse. The current Building Act requires the sandwich panel to secure fire-retardant performance according to the purpose and size of building. In this study, the fire spreading prevention structure applied to partial exterior walls was applied to multi-layered material and its effect was measured through full scale fire test and the possibility to secure fire safety of buildings by applying the fire spreading prevention structure to multi-layered material in future was presented.

3차원 동영상은 수많은 응용분야에서 차세대 멀티미디어 콘텐츠로 큰 주목을 받고 있지만 2차원에서 3차원 콘텐츠로의 과도기인 현 시점에서 3차원 콘텐츠의 부족현상은 관련 산업분야의 큰 문제점으로 떠오르고 있다. 2D-to-3D 변환 기술은 높은 비용 없이 기존의 방대한 2차원 콘텐츠를 3차원 콘텐츠로 재사용하는 것이 가능하기 때문에 3차원 콘텐츠의 부족 문제를 해결할 수 있는 기술로 큰 관심을 끌고 있다. 본 논문에서는 블록 단위 초점 정보의 보간을 통한 새로운 초점 기반 3차원 변환 기법을 제안한다. 기존의 화소 단위 초점 측정치를 그대로 깊이 정보로 이용하는 경우나 분할 영역 단위 초점 측정치를 깊이 정보로 활용하는 경우는 이웃 화소간 깊이정보의 불연속성이 발생할 수 있지만 제안방식은 블록 초점 측청치의 보간수행으로 인해 이웃 화소 사이에서 뿐만 아니라 블록경계 혹은 영역경계에서도 특별할 스무딩필터 처리 없이도 화소간 깊이정보의 불연속성이 발생하지 않게 된다. 실험결과를 통해 제안한 방식이 기존의 방식들 보다 더 자연스러운 깊이 정보 추출 성능을 보여준다는 것을 알 수 있다.

In this paper, we proposed stereo matching algorithm by dynamic programming with edges emphasized. Existing algorithms show blur generally at depth discontinuities owing to smoothness constraint and non-existence of matching pixel in occlusion regions. Also it accompanies matching error by lackness of matching information in the untextured regions. This paper defines new cost function to make up for the problems occurred to existing algorithms. It is possible through deriving matching of edges in left and right images to be carried out between edge regions anf deriving that in the other regions to be peformed between the other regions. In case of the possibility that edges can be Produced in a large amount, matching between edge information adds weight to cost function in proportion to Path distance. Proposed algorithm was applied to various images obtained by convergent camera model as well as parallel camera model. As the result, proposed algorithm showed improved performance in the aspect of matching error and processing in the occlusion regions compared to existing algorithms. Also it could improve blur especially in discontinuity regions.

In the RFID system, the reader transmits a query message to tags in order to identify a unique ID of tags within its detection range. The procedures for arbitrating a collision is essential because the multiple tags can response simultaneously in the same to the query of the Reader. This procedure is known as conflict resolution algorithm and it is a key technology in the RFID system. In this paper, we proposed a variable bits M-ary QT algorithm based on Manchester coding techniques. The proposed algorithm use the location information of the collision bits in the reader and tags. The proposed algorithm can reduce the number of the query-response cycle because it is capable of recognizing discontinuous bits and a variable number of bits. From computer simulation, the proposed method give better performance than the conventional M-ary QT techniques in terms of response, recognition efficiency, communication overhead.

This paper describes a speech synthesis technique using a diphone as an unit phoneme. Speech synthesis is basically accomplished by concatenating unit phonemes, and it's major problem is discontinuity at the connection part between unit phonemes. To solve this problem, this paper proposes a new spectral smoothing technique which reflects not only formant trajectories but also distribution characteristics of spectrum and human's acoustic characteristics. That is, the proposed technique decides the quantity and extent of smoothing by considering human's acoustic characteristics at the connection part of unit phonemes, and then performs spectral smoothing using weights calculated along a time axis at the border of two diphones. The proposed technique reduces the discontinuity and minimizes the distortion which is caused by spectral smoothing. For the purpose of performance evaluation, we tested on five hundred diphones which are extracted from twenty sentences using ETRI Voice DB samples and individually self-recorded samples.

In this paper, we propose an Overlapped Block and an Hanning Window to prevent a Block Discontinuity when we use an algorithm to eliminate ringing artifact which is based on a block structure. The algorithm to eliminate ringing artifact operates with a block structure and 24-RGB data and is based on a modified K-means algorithm. The proposed overlapped block method is piled up one on another per an half of the size of unit-block when an input image is split into several unit-blocks. Therefore, we define a data unit as the unit-block of the block size, $16{\times}16$ pixels. We reconstruct the processed data units into the original form of input image by using an isotropic form of Hanning Window. Finally, in order to evaluate the performance of the abovementioned algorithms, we compare three image, an input image with ringing artifact, an image result obtained by conventional method (non-overlapped), and an image result obtained the proposed method.

Three-dimensional (3-D) texture coordinates mean the position information of torture segments that are mapped into polygons in a 3-D mesh model. In order to compress texture coordinates, previous works reused the same linear predictor that had already been employed to code geometry data. However, the previous approaches could not carry out linear prediction efficiently since texture coordinates were discontinuous along a coding order. Especially, discontinuities of texture coordinates became more serious in the 3-D mesh model including a non-atlas texture. In this paper, we propose a new scheme to code 3-D texture coordinates using as a texture image rearrangement. The proposed coding scheme first extracts texture segments from a texture. Then, we rearrange the texture segments consecutively along the coding order, and apply a linear prediction to compress texture coordinates. Since the proposed scheme minimizes discontinuities of texture coordinates, we can improve coding efficiency of texture coordinates. Experiment results show that the proposed scheme outperforms the MPEG-4 3DMC standard in terms of coding efficiency.

In this paper, we propose a stereo matching method to improve the image quality at the hole and the disparity discontinuity regions. The stereo matching method extracts disparity map finding corresponding points between stereo image pair. However conventional stereo matching methods have a problem about the tradeoff between accuracy and precision with respect to the length of the baseline of the stereo image pair. In addition, there are hole and disparity discontinuity regions which are caused by textureless regions and occlusion regions of the stereo image pair. The proposed method extracts initial disparity map improved at disparity discontinuity and miss-matched regions using modified AD-Census-Gradient method and adaptive weighted cost aggregation. And then we conduct the disparity map refinement to improve at miss-matched regions, while also improving the accuracy of the image. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed method produces high-quality disparity maps by successfully improving miss-matching regions and accuracy while maintaining matching performance compared to existing methods which produce disparity maps with high matching performance. And the matching performance is increased about 3.22(%) compared to latest stereo matching methods in case of test images which have high error ratio.

조선업을 포함한 다양한 산업 분야에서 후판 강재의 수요량 증가와 함께 사용 범위 또한 폭넓게 되고 있다. 특히, 선박의 수송효율의 극대화를 위하여 컨테이너선의 대형화가 급속하게 진행되고 있으며, 2009년 현재1,300TEU 이상의 초대형 컨테이너선이 건조되고 이다. 이처럼 용접구조물의 초대형화에 따른 사용강재 또한 고강도 극후물화 되고 있다. 현재 선박에 적용중인 고강도 강재는 EH47 강재로 YP 460MPa 급의 강재가 Hatch Coamming부에 적용중에 있으며, 강재의 두께 또한 70mm 이상이다. 이러한 고강도 극후물재의 강구조물에 적용에 따른 선급협회에서는 용접부에서의 취성균열 전파에 의한 취성파괴의 위험성이 있으므로 강재의 두께를 제한하고 더욱 엄격한 파괴인성값을 요구하고 있다. 일본선급협회(NK)를 중심으로 취성균열의 정지를 위한 모재의 요구 성능등에 관한 연구들이 진행되고 있다. 이 연구의 대부분의 전제 조건은 선박의 블럭과 블럭의 조립시에 용접부가 직선형이 아닌 계단형(Butt shift)를 하는 것으로 하고 있으므로, 국내의 조선건조 공법의 현실과는 거리감이 있다. 본 연구에서는 국내 조선사에서 수행중인 직선 이음부에 대한 시공 공법에서 취성균열이 발생하여 진전 되더라도 균열을 정지 시킬 수 있는 기술에 관한 연구를 수행하였다. 균열의 진전은 대부부의 연속면에서는 정지를 시키지 못하고 직진 전파 하여서 파괴에 도달하게 된다. 따라서 뭔가의 불연속적인 면을 임의로 생성하여야 균열을 정지 시킬 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 이러한 균열의 정지 방법으로 형상적인 측면과 재료적인 측면에서 검토를 수행하였다. 형상적인 측면에서는 균열을 정지 시키고자 하는 위치에 불연속적인 면을 만들기 위하여 일정 크기의 hole을 만들어서 균열을 정지시켰으며, 재료적인 측면에서는 고인성의 용접재료를 사용하여서 취성균열이 진행하는 경로에 인성을 높은 재료를 적용하여 불연속적인 면의 생성과 함께 인성을 높여서 균열을 정지 시키는 기술을 개발하였다. 이러한 기술의 개발을 통하여 취성균열의 전파에 의한 파괴를 방지 할 수 있으며, 용접구조물의 안전성 확보를 가능하게 하였다.

With basis of the development of information communication techniques in recent year, the digital processing techniquy also has been growed fast. The digital processing technique have used signals - speech and image processing- for processing of transmission and analysis. After we get and save the signals. Effective signal processing techniques have varied filters and typical digital filters are FIR filter and IIR filter. The FIR digital filter is more secure because phase response characteristics have linear phase. But, FIR digital filters have a problem to product the Gibbs phenomenon generating around a discontinuous point. A propose of filer is to remove the problem. Therefore, in this paper I was proposed a method using FIR digital filter applied a modified window function and the method was compared with conventional methods.
