A series of performance measurements of positron emission tomography (PET) were performed following the recommendations of the Computer and Instrumentation Council of the Society of Nuclear Medicine and the National Electrical Manufacturers Association. We investigated the performance of the General Electric $Advance^{TM}$ PET. The measurements include the basic intrinsic tests of spatial resolution, scatter fraction, sensitivity, and count rate losses and randoms. They also include the tests of the accuracy of corrections: count rate linearity correction, uniformity correction, scatter correction and attenuation correction. GE $Advance^{TM}$ PET has bismuth germanate oxide crystals (4.0mm transaxial ${\times}$ 8.1mm axial ${\times}$ 30.0mm radial) in 18 rings, which form 35 imaging planes spaced by 4.25mm. The system has retractable tungsten septa 1mm thick and 12cm long. Transaxial resolution was 4.92mm FWHM in 2D and 5.14mm FWHM in 3D at the center. Average axial resolution in 2D decreased from 3.91mm FWHM at the center to 6.49mm FWHM at R=20cm. Average scatter fraction of direct and cross slices was 9.57%. Dead-time losses of 50% corresponded to a radioactivity concentration of $4.86{\mu}Ci/cc$ and a true count rate of 519 kcps in 2D. The accuracy of count rate linearity correction was 1.84% at the activity of $4.50{\mu}Ci/cc$. Non-uniformity was 2.06% in 2D and 2.93% in 3D. Remnant errors after scatter correction were 0.55% in 2D and 4.12% in 3D. The errors of attenuation correction were 6.21% (air), 0.20% (water), -6.32% (teflon) in 2D and 5.00% (air), 6.94% (water), 3.01% (teflon) in 3D. The results indicate the performance of GE $Advance^{TM}$ PET scanner to be well suited for clinical and research applications.

NLPCA(Nonlinear Principal Component Analysis) is a novel technique for multivariate data analysis, similar to the well-known method of principal component analysis. NLPCA operates by a feedforward neural network called AANN(Auto Associative Neural Network) which performs the identity mapping. In this work, a sensor fault detection system based on NLPCA is presented. To verify its applicability, simulation study on the data supplied from risk management system is executed.

기존 라디오파를 이용한 RTCM 방식에서는 전파의 직진성으로 인한 수신 장애가 많이 발생하였다. 이런 문제를 극복하기 위해 라디오 모뎀을 사용하지 않고 휴대폰에 내장된 CDMA 방식을 이용하여 이동전화국 기지국을 통한 오차 보정량을 전송하여 RTK-GPS의 문제점을 해결하고자 하였다. 연구 결과 기존 RTCM 방식과 같은 건물 차폐에 따른 신호 차단의 영향은 없었으며, 제적 작업 시에도 라디오 모뎀의 송수신의 장애로 인한 데이터 손실을 막을 수가 있었다. 마지막으로 10km이상의 거리에서도 작업을 수행하였다. 그 결과 이동전화국 기지국을 이용하였기 때문에 신호의 송수신에는 문제가 없었지만, 공간적 상관성의 문제로 인해 그 값을 쓸 수가 없었다. 따라서, 최근 증가하고 있는 GPS 측량 기법 중에서 현장에서 손쉽게 성과 값을 구하는 실시간 이동측량(RTK GPS Real Time Kinematic GPS)의 문제점을 보완하고 그 효율성을 제고하였다.

The heterogeneous emergency communication radios is used at disaster management agencies of Korea to response activity in the event of disaster. The compensation method by communication connection time difference is necessary to seamless voice communication because radios have different communication method and delay. In this paper, we suggested solution for voice transmission chance and data loss problem.

In this paper, we propose a super resolution network for raw sensor image which data size is lower comparatively to RGB image. But the actual capabilities of raw image super resolution depends on color correction because its absent of camera post processing that leads to unintended result having different white balance, saturation, etc. Thus, we introduce novel color corrector attention network by adopting the idea of precedent raw super resolution research, and tune to the our faced problem from data specification. The result is not superior to former researches but shows decent output on certain performance matrix. In the same time, we encounter new challenging problem of unexpected shadowing artifact around image objects that cause performance declination despite its good result overall. This problem remains a task to be solved in the future research.

한 벌의 한글 글자체를 만드는데 일반적으로 많은 제작 비용과 시간이 소요된다. 따라서 폰트 제작의 어려움을 덜기 위해, 사용자가 대표 글자들을 입력하면 그 글자들의 디자인 특성을 딥러닝 기술을 이용하여 학습한 모델이 나머지 글자들을 자동 생성해주는 시스템 구축한다면 폰트 제작이 훨씬 용이해질 뿐만 아니라 저작권 문제로부터 자유로워질 것이다. 이와 관련된 선행연구를 실행하고 분석해 본 결과 데이터 전처리 과정에서 글자가 잘리거나 크기가 맞지 않아 제대로 된 데이터셋이 구축되지 않는 문제가 있음을 발견하였다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 문제를 해결하기 위해 템플릿에서 자동적으로 글자영역을 추출하고 이미지를 보정하는 전처리 과정과 함께 기존 모델에서 새로운 필터를 추가하여 학습 성능을 높이는 방법을 제안한다. 이를 통해 기존 연구에서 측정된 손실값을 낮춘 결과를 확인했으며 결과적으로 실제 글자체와 더욱 유사한 사용자 맞춤형 글자체를 제공할 수 있을 것이다.

Currently, there is a lack of suitable prediction model and measurement data for vegetation loss. So in this paper, vegetation loss measurement has been performed for seven different tree-species, including dawn-redwood tree, plane tree, pine tree and hymalaya cedar in the frequency range of $1.0{\sim}6.0\;GHz$, for the two years, from 2005 to 2006 years. And then, extraction and revision for the proposed RET model input parameters in ITU-R P.833 has been performed. The key results of measurement and RET modeling has been presented in this paper. The results of this study have been adapted for ITU-R recommendation at the ITU-R meeting in 2005 and 2006.

This study was carried out to estimate the area of damaged forest and the volume of stand tree in burned area, Mt. Weol-A in eastern Chinju, Korea using digital maps derived from supervised classification of Landsat thematic mapper(TM) imagery as reference data. Criterion laser estimator and WinDENDRO$^{tm}$(v. 6.3b) system as a computer-aided tree ring measuring system were used to measure a volume and age of sampled tree. The sample site had been chosen in unburned areas having the same terrain condition and forest type of burned areas. The tree age, diameter at breast height, tree height and volume of the sample tree selected from sample site in unburned area were 27years, 20.9cm, 9.7m and $0.1396m^3$ respectively. Total stand volume of sample site was estimated $2.9316m^3$/0.04ha, Damaged stand volume evaluated to about $16,007m^3$ in the burned area of 218.4ha.

In Water Distribution Systems (WDSs), can abnormal hydraulic and water quality conditions such as red-water phenomenon and leakage occur. To restore them, data is generated through various meters data to predict and detect. However, in the case of leakage if difficult to detect unless direct exploration is performed. Among them, unreported leakage, are not seen visually and account for the most considerable volumes of leakage, which leads to economic loss. Bur direct exploration is limited through on site conditions such as securing professional manpower. In this paper, leakage volumes and location were randomly generated for the WDS, which was assumed to be calibrated, and it was detected through a deep learning model. For abnormal data generation, the leakage was simulated using the emitter coefficient, and leakage detection was successfully performed through the generated abnormal data and normal data.

Image quality of computed tomography (CT) is very vulnerable to metal artifacts. Recently, the thickness and background normalization techniques have been introduced. Since they provide flat sinograms, it is easy to determine metal traces and a simple linear interpolation would be enough to describe the missing data in sinograms. In this study, we have developed a theory describing two normalization methods and compared two methods with respect to various sizes and numbers of metal inserts by using simple numerical simulations. The developed theory showed that the background normalization provide flatter sinograms than the thickness normalization, which was validated with the simulation results. Numerical simulation results with respect to various sizes and numbers of metal inserts showed that the background normalization was better than the thickness normalization for metal artifact corrections. Although the residual artifacts still existed, we have showed that the background normalization without the segmentation procedure was better than the thickness normalization for metal artifact corrections. Since the background normalization without the segmentation procedure is simple and it does not require any users' intervention, it can be readily installed in conventional CT systems.
