본 논문에서는 객체의 인식성을 높이기 위해 가상의 지역 광원을 사용한 카툰 렌더링 기법을 제안한다. 지역 광원은 각 메쉬의 기하 정보를 분석하여 배치되며 객체의 지역적인 음영 대비를 증가시켜 객체의 모양과 특정이 눈에 잘 띄도록 한다. 하지만 지역 광원을 사용한 쉐이딩 기법은 객체의 일부 영역에서 갈라지고 불연속적인 음영을 만들어 이미지의 질적 하락을 초래한다. 이러한 현상을 막기 위하여 곡률과 샐리언시의 개념을 사용하여 영역의 특성에 따라 차등적으로 지역 광원을 객체에 적용하였다. 곡률은 해당 영역의 기하적 특성을 구분하여 지역 광원에 의한 음영 대비 증감을 조정하고, 샐리언시는 영역의 중요도를 판별하여 곡률이 쉐이딩에 미치는 가중치를 조절한다.

지상파 DTV 방송의 직접수신 환경을 개선하기 위해서는 DTV 방송음영지역의 발생 원인과 실제 음영지역의 발생 유형을 정확히 분석할 필요가 있다. 우리나라의 DTV 직접 수신환경은 전 국토의 70%에 이르는 산악 지형과 높은 인구 밀도로 인해 고층 건물이 밀집되어 있어 전파 간섭이 발생하여 직접 수신이 어려울 가능성이 높다. 특히 DTV는 아날로그 방송에 비해 주파수 파장이 짧은 UHF 대역으로만 송출하게 되어있어 지역에 따라서는 건물이나 산 등에 의해 전파의 손실이 기존 VHF 대역보다 크게 나타난다. 이러한 전파 음영지역은 도심지의 경우 국부적으로 발생하는 것이 일반적이다. 본 논문에서는 DTV의 수신 장애가 일어나는 원인의 분석을 위해 보다 더 정밀하게 DTV 전파 환경을 조사할 수 있는 이동수신 시스템을 제안하고자 한다. 제안하는 시스템을 통해 DTV 신호를 수신하는데 있어 발생할 수 있는 다양한 형태의 전파 장애 지역을 신속하게 찾아내고 그 원인을 분석할 수 있다.

The objective of this study was to compare the resolution and density appropriate to diagnosis in chest PA radiography. In comparing the resolution, we radiographed with conventional radiography, computed radiography(CR) and digital radiography(DR) using the linear resolution phantom(Nuclear Associates-Carle Place. N.Y.). 2 radiologists and 3 radiological technologists read the resolution value by the blind test. DR, conventional radiography and CR measured 3.95, 3.58, 3.48 resolution value respectively. In analysing the density, we chose the fifty normal chest CR and DR and conventional film. We estimated the density using by densitometer(X-rite company-Model 301) in seven regions(lung field, lung field margine, mediastinum I, mediastinum II, heart shadow I, heart shadow II, diaphragm) of chest film. We adapted to analysis the Japanese chest X-ray evaluating method and table. It was scored 0(farthest density value) to 2(nearest density value). DR scored 2 at mediastinum I, mediastinum II, heart shadow I, heart shadow II and diaphragm. On the contrary with, CR scored 2 at lung field and lung field margine. Consequently, DR superior than CR and conventional radiography film compairing density and resolution. It was due to small pixel size and post processing algorithm with digital radiography.

In this study, we explore the use of ground penetrating radar (GPR) for the nondestructive survey of subsurface conduits, focusing on the challenges posed by multichannel environments. A key concern is the shadow regions created by conduits, which significantly impact survey results. The shadow regions, which are influenced by conduit position and diameter, hinder signal propagation, thereby making detection within these regions challenging. Using finite-difference time-domain numerical analysis, we examined the characteristics of conduit signals, which typically manifest in hyperbolic patterns. Particularly, we investigated three conduit arrangements: horizontal, vertical, and diagonal. Automatic gain control was applied to amplify the signals, enabling the analysis of variations in shadow regions and signal characteristics for each arrangement. In the horizontal arrangement, the proximity of the two conduits resulted in the emergence of a new hyperbolic pattern between the existing conduits. In the vertical arrangement, the lower conduit could be detected using hyperbolic signals on either side, but the detection was challenging when the upper conduit diameter exceeded that of the lower conduit. In the diagonal arrangement, signal characteristics varied based on the position of shadow regions relative to the detection range of the equipment. Asymmetrical signal patterns were observed when the shadow regions fell within the detection range, whereas the signals of the two conduits were minimally impacted when the shadow regions were outside the detection range. This study provides vital insights into accurately detecting and characterizing subsurface multichannel conduits using GPR-a significant contribution to the field of subsurface exploration and management.

A Device performance analyzing method for appropriate level in hybrid rendering model is suggested. In recent research, we proposed a hybrid rendering model which is applying a proper shading method to each of polygons consisting of an object. The number of polygon for Gouraud shading and that for flat shading should be considered according to a current device performance and system environments. Therefore, this paper suggests the method to calculate automatically a proper resolution of a mesh of object and a proper level of mixture between Gouraud and a flat shading, considering a current device performance and a preference of end-user. The rendering model is so simple that it can be an efficient replacement to reduce a real-time rendering time since it provides automatically multi-level of rendering resolution to an executing environments. Moreover, it can be adopted in real-time adaptive service for 3D graphic contents like a graphic game under various device environments.

본 논문에서는 로그노말 분포된 전파음영 환경에서 통화의 신뢰도를 유지하기 위해 필요한 링크 마진을 경로손실과 전파음영의 감쇠를 포함하는 전파 손실 모델을 사용하여 분석하였다. CDMA 셀룰러 시스템에서 셀 반경이 커지게 되면 요구되는 링크 마진도 증가하게 되어 핸드오프이득은 요구되는 링크 마진만큼 감소하게 된다. 이러한 셀 영역과 링크 마진과의 관계를 하프 핸드오프와 소프트 핸드오프로 나누어 수치해석을 통해 살펴보았다. outage 확플이 0.1이고 셀 반경을 5-10% 증가시켰을 때 전력제어를 한 경우의 셀 영역비는 3.22 dB-3.99 dB, 전력제어를 하지 않은 경우의 셀 영역비는 2.55 dB-2.85 dB 만큼 증가하는 것을 알 수 있다.

With the advancement of autonomous vehicle (AV) technology, autonomous driving on real roads has become feasible. However, there are challenges in achieving complete autonomy due to perceptual blind areas, which occur when the AV's sensory range or capabilities are limited or impaired by surrounding objects or environmental factors. This study aims to analyze AV accident patterns and safety issues of perceptual blind area that may occur in urban areas, with the goal of developing test scenarios for Level 4+ autonomous driving. It utilized AV accident data from the California Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) to compare accident patterns and characteristics between AVs and conventional vehicles based on activation status of autonomous mode. It also categorized AV disengagement data to identify types and real-world cases of disengagements caused by perceptual blind areas. The analysis revealed that AVs exhibit different accident types due to their safe driving maneuvers, and three types of perceptual blind area scenarios were identified. The findings of this study serve as crucial foundational data for developing Level 4+ autonomous driving test scenarios, enabling the design of efficient strategies to mitigate perceptual blind areas in various scenarios. This, in turn, is expected to contribute to the effective evaluation and enhancement of AV driving safety on real roads.

Traditional rendering of cartoon character cannot revive the feeling of concept drawings properly. In this paper, we propose capture technology to get toon shading model from the concept drawings and with this technique, we provide a new novel system to render 3D cartoon character. Benefits of this system is to cartoonize the 3D character according to saliency to emphasize the form of 3D character and further support the sketch-based user interface for artists to edit shading by post-production. For this, we generate texture automatically by RGB color sorting algorithm to analyze color distribution and rates of selected region. In the cartoon rendering process, we use saliency as a measure to determine visual importance of each area of 3d mesh and we provide a novel cartoon rendering algorithm based on the saliency of 3D mesh. For the fine adjustments of shading style, we propose a user interface that allow the artists to freely add and delete shading to a 3D model. Finally, this paper shows the usefulness of the proposed system through user evaluation.
