This study is the empirical research about application and evaluation of AVI that is an essential technology for calculating and providing the travel time. Travel time calculation and provision is one of the technique for information collecting and providing in the ITS. Through the field test on a national highway, we proposed the travel time calculation technique from the data by non-contact vehicle detecting method and validated field application performance with field data. We proposed the technique of evaluating field application performance, then using this, analyzed recognition rate, detection rate and travel time with field data.

This paper presents an automatic back-light brightness control system for mobile displays. One of the most important factors in mobile display is the power consumption due to the limited and movable power source. More than 80% of power of the LCD display is consumed by LED bark-light unit (BLU). The target brightness also becomes higher because of its moving picture and high resolution image, so there are some side effects for not only excessive power consumption but also ergonomic inconvenience in dark environment. To prevent this discomfort and reduce power consumption, this paper proposes automatic brightness control (ABC) technique in mobile displays. Developed system contains TFT-LCD panel with built-in photo sensor, driver IC capable of controlling photo sensor, and BLU. Since the photo sensor array built in panel detects automatically outdoor ambient light intensity, the power of BLU in dark environment is reduced. Developed ABC system showed reduced power consumption of 50% in dark environment. We believe that the proposed system is very useful to control power of mobile TFT-LCD.

For western music there has been a volume of researches on music information analysis for automatic transcription or content-based music retrieval. But it is hard to find the similar research on Korean traditional music. In this paper we propose several algorithms to automatically analyze the structure of Korean traditional music 'Pansori'. The proposed algorithm automatically distinguishes between the 'sound' part and 'speech' part which are named 'sori' and 'aniri', respectively, using the ratio of phonetic and pause time intervals. For rhythm called 'jangdan' classification the algorithm makes the robust decision using the majority voting process based on template matching. Also an algorithm is suggested to detect the bar positions in the 'sori' part based on Kalman filter. Every proposed algorithm in the paper works so well enough for the sample music sources of 'Pansori' that the results may be used to automatically transcribe the 'Pansori'.

Purpose: Recently, there is an increase of the number of hospitals using auto dispenser to reduce occupational radiation exposure when drawing up of the $^{18}F-FDG$ dose (5.18 MBq/kg) in a syringe from the dramatic high activity of $^{18}F-FDG$ multidose vial. The aim of this study is to confirm that using auto dispenser actually reduces the radiation exposure for technologists. Also we analyzed the reproducibility of auto dispenser to find optimized dispensing method for the device. Materials and Methods: We conducted three experiments. Comparison of radiation exposure on chest and hands: The chest and hands exposure dose received by technologists during the injection were measured by electronic personal dosimeter (EPD) and ring TLD respectively. Reproducibility of dispensed volume: We draw up the normal saline into 5 and 2 mL syringe using auto dispenser by changing the volume from 1 to 15 mm for 5 times in the same setting of the volume. The weight of 5 normal saline dispensed from the device at same volume was measured using micro balance and calculated standard deviation and coefficient of variation. Reproducibility of dispensed radioactivity: We dispensed 362.6 $MBq{\pm}10%$ of $^{18}F-FDG$ in 5 and 2 mL syringes from the multidose vial of different specific activity. In the same setting of volume, we repeated dispensing for 4 times and compared standard deviation and coefficient of variation of radioactivity between 5 syringes. Results: There was significant difference in the average of chest exposure dose according to the dispensing methods (P<0.05). Also, when dispensing $^{18}F-FDG$ in manual method, exposure dose was 11.5 times higher in right hand and 4.8 times higher in left hand than in auto method. In the result of reproducibility of dispensed volume, standard deviation and coefficient of variation shows decline as the dispensing volume increases. As a result of reproducibility of dispensed radioactivity, standard deviation and coefficient of variation increases as the specific activity increases. Conclusion: We approved that the occupational radiation exposure dose of technologists were reduced when dispensing $^{18}F-FDG$ using auto dose dispenser. Secondly, using small syringes helps to increase reproducibility of auto dose dispense. And also, if you lower the specific activity of $^{18}F-FDG$ in multidose vial below 915-1,020 MBq/mL, you can use auto dispenser more effectively keeping the coefficient of variation lower than 10%.

The application of micro-simulation model has been extended farther with improvement of computer performance and development of complicated model. To make a micro-simulation model accurately replicate field traffic conditions, model calibration is very crucial. Studies on calibration of micro-simulation model have not been enough while lots of studies on calibration of macro-simulation model have been continued in our country. This paper presents an auto-calibration of parameter values in micro-simulation model(VISSIM) using genetic algorithm. RMSE(Root Mean Square Error) of collected volume on the urban expressway versus simulated volume is set as MOP(measure of performance) and objective function of optimization is set as to minimize the RMSE. Applying to urban expressway(Nae-bu circular) as a case study, it shows that RMSE of optimized parameter values decrease 60.4%($19.3{\longrightarrow}7.6$) compared to default parameter values and the proposed auto-calibration system is very effective.

Almost of current Automatic Incident Detection(AID) algorithms involve the vulnerability that detects the traffic accident in open road or in tunnel as the traffic jam not as the traffic accident. This paper proposes the improved accident detection algorithm to enhance the detection probability based on accident detection algorithms applied in open roads. The improved accident detection algorithm provides the preliminary judgment of potential accident by detecting the stopped object by Gaussian Mixture Model. Afterwards, it measures the detection area is divided into blocks so that the occupancy rate can be determined for each block. All experimental results of applying the new algorithm on a real incident was detected image without error.

최근 영상압축 및 전송기술의 발달과 저장매체의 대용량화 등 IT 기술의 발달로 영상기반의 보안시스템은 누구나 쉽게 사용할 수 있는 보편화된 시스템이 되고 있다. 그리고 프로세서의 발달로 인해 감시카메라에서 취득한 영상을 영상처리를 통해 자동으로 해석하는 지능형 영상감시 시스템은 주목 받고 있다. 하지만 외부로부터 카메라가 공격을 당해 감시불능인 상태가 되면 아무리 뛰어난 지능형 영상감시 시스템이라고 해도 무용지물이 되기 때문에 카메라 무력화를 감시하는 알고리즘은 반드시 필요하다. 카메라 무력화 검지 알고리즘은 사용자로 하여금 시스템을 편리하게 사용할 수 있게 해 주지만 아직 많은 알고리즘들은 조명변화와 같은 일상적인 상황에 잦은 오보를 출력함으로 시스템의 신뢰도를 떨어뜨리고 오히려 사용자에게 불편을 주고 있다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 조명변화에 강건하도록 입력영상의 코너를 특징점으로 이용하여 감시카메라의 공격을 검출하는 방법을 제안한다.

텔레비젼 카메라, 비디콘 카메라(vidicon camera), 디지털 검지기, 스캐너 등 물리적 장치로 획득한 영상은 주위의 밝기로 인하여 어두운 영상을 얻거나 영상장치의 물리적 속성과 영상 전송에 기인하여 영상은 열악한 대비를 가질 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 획득한 저대비 영상을 대비 향상시켜주는 기법을 제안한다. 제안된 기법은 K-means 알고리듬을 사용하여 교차점을 자동으로 선정하는 방법을 사용한다. 이 최적의 교차점을 선정하는 과정은 획득한 영상을 물체와 배경으로 분리하는 두 개의 클래스 문제로 보고 K-means 알고리듬을 적용하였다. 구한 교차점을 사용하여 영상을 양분하여 히스토그램 평활화 방법을 적용하였다. 본 논문에서는 퍼지성 지수(index of fuzziness)를 사용하여 향상의 정도를 측정하였다. 제안된 기법을 저대비 영상에 적용하였으며 그 결과를 히스토그램 평활화 기법의 결과와 비교하였다.

본 논문에서는 오디오 워터마킹 기술을 방송 동기화 시스템에 적용하여 방송시스템을 자동화하기 위한 시스템을 구현했다. 방송시스템은 대개의 경우 1개의 중앙방송과 다수의 지역방송국으로 구성된다. 방송동기화 시스템은 방송소재가 중앙방송에서 지방방송으로 전환하는 시점을 알리는 신호에 워터마크를 삽입하여 방송하고 다수의 지방 방송에서는 워터마크를 검출해서 방송소재의 전환을 자동으로 하고자 한다. 본 논문에서 구현한 방송동기화 시스템은 방송시스템의 특성을 중시하여 설계 제작되었다. 방송시스템의 오류는 바로 방송사고로 이어지는 만큼 동기신호를 잘못 검지하는 오류는 없어야 한다. 즉 워터마크가 없는 오디오에서 워터마크가 있다고 검출되는 경우가 0% 이어야 한다. 본 논문에서 제안된 알고리즘으로 실제 방송되는 라디오 신호를 갖고 실험해본 결과 위의 조건을 만족하고 다양한 환경 즉 압축 및 A/D, D/A, 노이즈 삽입에 대한 신뢰성 테스트를 수행하여 우수한 결과를 얻었다.
