In this paper, we propose the non-contact gesture recognition algorithm using 4- channel electrometer sensor array. ELF(Extremely Low Frequency) EMI and PLN are minimized because ambient electromagnetic noise around sensors has a significant impact on entire data in indoor environments. In this study, we transform AC-type data into DC-type data by applying a 10Hz LPF as well as a maximum buffer value extracting algorithm considering H/W sampling rate. In addition, we minimize the noise with the Kalman filter and extract 2-dimensional movement information by taking difference value between two cross-diagonal deployed sensors. We implemented the DTW gesture recognition algorithm using extracted data and the time delayed information of peak values. Our experiment results show that average correct classification rate is over 95% on five-gesture scenario.

The evolution of input device for computer has pretty much slowed down after the introduction of mouse as feinting input device. Even though stylus and touch screen were invented later on which provide some alternatives, all these methods were designed to have close range interaction with computer. There are not many options available for user to interact with computer from afar, which is especially needed during presentation. Therefore, in this paper, we try to fill the gap by proposing a laser pointer interaction system to allow user to give pointing input command to the computer from some distance away using only laser pointer, which is cheap and readily available. With the combination of image processing based software, we could provide mouse-like pointing interaction with computer. The proposed system works well not only in currently plane screen, but also in flexible screen by incorporating the feature of non-linear coordinate mapping algorithm in our system so that our system can support non-linear environment, such as curved and flexible wall.

VMS를 통한 정보제공에는 과도반응과 통행집중의 위험부담이 따른다. 즉 대안경로간에 이루어져야 할 통행배분을 정확히 유도할 수 있는 VMS 메시지란 존재치 않는다. VMS 메시지에 의해 특정 경로가 교통상황이 타 경로에 비해 좋다고 정보가 주어질 때, 그 정보에 대한 과도반응과 그 특정경로에 대한 통행집중 문제가 발생하여 정보제공에 의해 오히려 상황이 악화될 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 대안경로간의 물리적 특성 측면에서 우열이 있는 가상 네트워크를 대상으로 하여, 과도반응과 통행집중 문제를 극복하고 대안경로간의 적절한 통행배분을 달성하기 위한 VMS 운영알고리즘을 개발하는 것을 목표로 한다. VMS정보제공 결과, 즉 VMS를 통해 상황이 좋다고 알려준 경로에 통행이 집중할 경우 문제가 될 것인가 여부를 미리 예측해 보고, 문제가 될 경우 정보제공 전략을 수정하도록 하는, 피드백 제어에 예측적 방식을 접목하였다. 본 연구에서 제안한 알고리즘의 주요 기능은 다음과 같다. 1. 교통량, 속도 등에 대한 실시간 모니터링 시스템이 구축되어 있음을 전제로 한다. 2. 실시간 제어에는 모니터링 결과와 이에 근거한 정보제공전략의 시행사이에는 시간차가 존재한다. 이러한 시간차이로 인하여 단기예측이 필요하고, 이를 수행하는 모듈이 있다. 3. 정보제공 결과로 특정 경로에 과부하가 걸리는지 여부를 예측하기 위하여, 그 판단기준으로 그 경로의 실제 용량 산정이 필요하다. 이에 혼잡의 시공간적 전개에 따라 변하는 동적 용량을 산정하는 모듈이 있다. 4. 대안 경로간 통행배분 목표치를 수리적으로 산정할 수는 있으나, 이를 자동적으로 이루어 주는 메시지는 존재하지 않는다. 아울러 현실적으로 예측 불가능한 외란을 모형에 의존하여 예측하기 보다는, 계속적인 피드백 레귤레이터(Regulator) 작동에 의해 보정하여 목표를 달성해 가는 자동제어 기능을 갖고 있다.

In this study, an efficient ornithopter aerodynamic model, which is applicable to ornithopter wing design considering fluid-structure interaction or ornithopter flight dynamics and control simulation, was proposed and experimentally validated through the wind tunnel experiments. Due to the ornithopter aerodynamics governed by unsteady low Reynolds number flow, an experimental device was specially designed and developed. A part of the experimental device, 2-axis loadcell, was situated in the non-inertial frame; the dynamic calibration method was established to compensate the inertial load for pure aerodynamic load measurements. The characteristics of proposed aerodynamic model were compared with the experimental data in terms of mean and root-mean-square values of lift and drag coefficients with respect to the flow speed, flapping frequency, and fixed angle of attack.

Several experimental techniques for identifying the noise sources distributed over a moving vehicle have been developed recently and are used to design a low noise vehicle. The beamforming method, which uses phase information between several microphones to localize the source position, is proved to be one of the promising techniques applicable even under complicated test environments. In this study a beamforming algorithm is developed and applied to measure the dominant noise sources on a passenger car passing by. Unlike the acoustic signals from a stationary noise source, the sound generated from a moving source is distorted due to the Doppler effects. The information about the speed and relative position of the vehicle are used to eliminate the Doppler effects from the measured acoustic signal by using a de-Dopplerization algorithm. The noise generated from a moving vehicle can be grouped in many ways, however, tire noise and the noise generated from the engine are distinguishable at the speeds being tested.

In this paper, we consider the ISR(Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance) system which collects the imagery intelligence from an airplane and CDL(common data link) communication system which transports the information obtained by the ISR system. The IMINT(imagery intelligence) consists of MPEG-2 transport stream packets and they transmit through CDL. We have some simulations for communication performances of CDL and show performance improvements using convolutional coding. We have compared BER performances under AWGN channel and fading channel which is caused by the velocity of an airplane.

In this paper, a feature based panorama image generation algorithm using FAST(Features from Accelerated Segment Test) method that is faster than SIFT(Scale Invariant Feature Transform) and SURF(Speeded Up Robust Features) is proposed. Cylindrical projection is performed to generate natural panorama images with numerous images as input. The occurred error can be minimized by applying RANSAC(Random Sample Consensus) for the matching process. When we synthesize numerous images acquired from different camera angles, we use blending techniques to compensate the distortions by the heterogeneity of border line. In that way, we could get more natural synthesized panorama image. The proposed algorithm can generate natural panorama images regardless the order of input images and tilted images. In addition, the image matching can be faster than the conventional method. As a result of the experiments, distortion was corrected and natural panorama image was generated.

A test section of a supersonic wind tunnel was designed for the analysis of flow characteristics over a backward-facing step with Mach 1.0 slot injection in a supersonic flow of Mach 2.5. The cavity flow of a high-speed vehicle is very complex at supersonic speed, so it is necessary to do experiments using supersonic wind tunnels to verify numerical analysis methods. The previous 2D symmetrical nozzle was replaced with an asymmetrical nozzle. The inviscid nozzle contour was designed using Method of Characteristics (MOC), and the boundary layer thickness correction was reflected by experimental data from the wind tunnel. The results were compared with a CFD analysis. The PID control system was changed to be based on the change of tank pressure. This improved the control efficiency, and the run times of supersonic flow increased by about 1 second. The flow characteristics over a backward facing step with slot injection were visualized by a Schlieren device. This equipment will be used for an experimental study of the film cooling effectiveness over a cavity with various velocities, mass flows, and temperatures.

In this Paper, we propose an optimized method of hardware design based on Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) to detect rotated angle of high definition image about Extreme Contour Point (ECP) algorithm with moving video image could be not happened to translation motion, but also physical rotation motion. It was evaluated by XC7Z020 xc7z020-3clg400 FPGA board by using xilinx 14.2 tool. The much well-known method, the Coordinate Rotation Digital Integrated Computation (CORDIC) is an algorithm to estimate rotated angle between point and point. Through the result both ECP and CORDIC, our proposed design are confirmed to have similar operating speed of about 4ns with CORDIC. However, it is verified to have high performance result in terms of the hardware cost, is much better than CORDIC with cost reduction of registers and Look Up Tables (LUTs) of 108% and 91%, respectively.

The study presents the linear dynamic analysis of multi-girder steel bridges under vehicular movement to examine the performance characteristics due to the various structural and loading conditions. The road surface roughness and bridge-vehicle interactions are considered. The road surface profiles for the approaching roadway and bridge decks are generated from power spectral density functions for different road roughness conditions. A new filtering method using the wheel trace is proposed to obtain the more rational bridge-vehicle interactions from the randomly generated road surface. The possible settlement condition between the bridge deck and approaching roadway is also included. The dynamic responses of various bridges designed according to current design practice are examined, in which important structural parameters(such as span length, girder spacing, etc.) are considered systematically. In addition to the basic loading conditions due to a single truck passing on the bridge, the traffic conditions of multi-truck traveling either consecutively on the same lane or side-by-side on the adjacent lanes are also evaluated.
