Though conventional video surveillance systems such as CCTV depended on operators, recently developed intelligent surveillance systems no longer needed operators. However, these new intelligent surveillance systems have their own problems such as Occlusion, changing scale of target object, and affine. This paper handled information damage caused by changing the scale of the target object among other objects. Due to the change of the scale, the inaccurate information of target can be obtained when we update the background information. To handle this problem, we introduce a solution for information damage caused by problem of changing scale of target object located among other objects. Specifically, we suggest multi-stage sampling particle filter based advanced MSER for object tracking system. Through this method, the problem caused by changing scale of target can be avoided.

When an image is captured, motion blurs are caused by relative motion between the camera and the scene, In the case of the camera is moving, the extents of the motion blur are spatially variant according to distances from the camera to the objects. Although the camera is fixed, the extents of the motion blur are spatially variant according to various speeds of the moving objects. Unexpected blur effect very often degrades the quality of the image and it needs to be restored, To restore the spatially variant blurred image, each of the point spread function (PSF) should be identified, In this paper, we propose a new method for the identification of blur extent locally from the image in which the spatially variant motion blur is caused. Experiment shows that the proposed method identifies blur extent well.

고분자전해질연료전지의 효율과 수명은 고분자 전해질 막과 밀접하게 관련되어있다. 연료전지 상용화를 위해 내구성과 안정성은 반드시 확보되어야 한다. 본 연구에서는 고분자전해질연료전지용 막전극접합체에 대해서 제작과정, 체결과정 및 운전 중에 발생할 수 있는 물리적 손상이 연료전지에 미치는 영향을 알아보고자 하였다. 실제 고분자전해질연료전지 조건에서 구멍이 생기는 경우를 모사하기 위해 막전극접합체에 다양한 크기 및 형상의 물리적 손상을 형성시켰다. 또한 여러 위치에서의 손상도 비교하였다. 손상시킨 막전극접합체에 대해 단위전지 성능평가와 순환전압전류 실험을 비교 분석하였다. 막전극접합체의 결함이 커질수록 수소기체투과도는 증가하고, OCV와 성능은 감소하였다. 또한 성능과 수소기체투과도는 서로 관련이 있음을 알 수 있었다.

Most of the conventional aseismic design methods for reinforced concrete structures, based on the strong¬column weak-beam design concept, do not necessarily the state of damage distribution over the entire frame. This paper introduces a seismic damage-controlled design method for RC frames which aim at individual member damage indices. Three design parameters, namely the longitudinal steel ratio, the confinement steel ratio and the frame member depth, were studied for their influence on the frame response to an earthquake. The usefulness of this design method will be demonstrated with a three-bay four-story building frame so that, on the one hand, the method will reduce the damage as measured by the global damage index under the same earthquake and, on the other hand, will lead to a larger capacity enabling stronger earthquakes to be accom¬odated .

The factors affecting the long-term design strength of geogrids can be classified into factors on creep deformation, installation damage, temperature, chemical degradation, biological degradation. Especially, creep deformation and installation damage are considered as main factors to determine the long-term design strength of geogrids. This paper describes the results of a series of experimental investigation, which were conducted to assess the installation damage according to different fill materials and creep characteristic of various geogrids. The results of this study show that the installation damage and creep deformation of geogrids significantly depends on a row material and a manufacturing process of geogrids.

Tunneling in rock mass produces two types of damages in the vicinity of a tunnel: structural and constructional damages. Structural damage represents the damage induced by the unbalance of geostatic stress caused by the tunneling, and constructional damage is the damage produced during the construction. In this study, formulations of tangential and radial stresses in the elastic and plastic zones near a tunnel, and the calculation of radius of plastic zone surrounding a tunnel are introduced by modifying the Hoek-Brown criterion of 2002 edition, which has capability of considering in situ rock mass characteristics and construction damage. From the parametric study, influences of rock mass quality, uniaxial compressive strength of intact rock, and the dimension of the tunnel on the plastic zone are investigated. The accuracy of the proposed approach is evaluated by comparing with results from the previous study.

In the present work, a sensor system composed of an oscillator sensor and a Lamb wave sensor is proposed for the purpose of structural health monitoring. The oscillator sensing system detecting the shift of a structural resonant frequency in proportion to the amount of defects in the structure is a pretty sensitive and simple device, but its detectable range is limited to its local zone. The Lamb wave sensor system, however, is applicable to global detection of the defects. This study is aimed at investigating the feasible combination of the two systems to exploits their merits simultaneously. The scheme to use PZT patches as the oscillator sensor as well as the Lamb wave sensor was proposed to identify the position, length and number of cracks by means of TOF and amplitude of signals, and its validity was confirmed through experiments.

GaN는 LED, 태양전지, 그리고 전자소자 등에 쓰이는 물질로, 관련 연구가 활발히 진행되고 있으며, 이와 더불어 top-down방식을 활용한 소자제작 방법 또한 발달되고 있다. 하지만, top-down공정 시 발생 되는 건식 식각에 의한 소자의 손상이 발생되고, 이로 인하여 누설전류가 발생하는 등 여러 가지 문제점이 발생하고 있다. 특히, top-down에서 널리 사용하는 건식식각을 통한 GaN 식각의 경우, nonpolar 면이 아닌, semipolar 면이 드러나게 되며, 이 면은 건식 식각시 발생하는 손상을 포함하고 있다. 본 연구에서는 이러한 문제를 해결하기 위해서, 약 $2{\mu}m$ 크기의 diameter를 갖는 micro-sized column LED를 제작하고, 건식 식각 이후, KOH surface treatment를 통해 손상된 면을 제거함과 동시에 nonpolar면을 드러내는 실험을 실시하였으며, 더불어 column의 diameter를 줄이는 방법을 논하고자 한다.

Ships operating in littoral sea are likely to be subjected to accidental load such as stranding. Once she has damage on the hull structure, her ultimate strength will be reduced. This paper is to investigate the effect of the stranding damage on ultimate strength of ship structure by using a series of collapse tests. For the experiment, 720 mm $\times$720 mm in section and 900mm in length of five box-girder models with stiffeners were pre- pared. Of the five, one has no damage and faur have an diamond shaped damage which represents the shape of rock section in seabed. The damage size is different between models. Among the damaged models, the damages of 3 of them were made by cutting the plate and one by pressing to represent stranding damage. Experiments were carried out under pure bending load and the applied load and displacements were recorded. The ultimate strength is reduced as the damage size increases, as expected. The largest damaged model has the damage size of 30% of breadth and its ultimate strength is reduced by 21% than that of no damaged one. The pressed one has lower ultimate strength than cut one. This might be due to the fact that the plate around the pressed damage area effect negatively on the ultimate strength.
