원거리에서 무접촉 거리 계측(ranging)은 군용 장비나 건설, 항해, 자동화 등에 매우 중요하다. 계측방식은 active와 passive 방식으로 구분되는데, active방식은 laser나 microwave, 초음파 등의 time of flight를 이용하거나 레이저 조사(illumination)에 대한 카메라 영상을 해석하는 등의 다양한 방식이 있으나 장치가 복잡하고, passive 방식은 stereo camera의 양안 영상을 이용하거나 focus 특성을 이용하는 방식 등이 있으나 대부분 연산 시간이 많이 요구된다. 본 연구에서는 수동식 스테레오 카메라에서 양안시차를 추출하여 triangulation으로 목표점(target point)의 거리를 측정하는 것을 기본 방식으로 하여, 기존 거리 산출 방식에서 연산 시간이 많이 소요되는 연산 과정을 효율적이고 고속으로 수행할 수 있도록 새로운 방식을 제안하였다. 즉, 목표점에서의 양안 edge 영상을 구하며, 이 영상의 accumulation profile을 correlation하여, 거리 연산의 핵심 요소인 양안 시차를 고속으로 추출하는 알고리즘을 제안하였다. 또한, 제안 방식의 효율성을 실험 결과를 통하여 보였다.

As the use of image input and output devices increases, the importance of extracting text area in color images is also increasing. In this paper, in order to extract text area of the images efficiently, we present a text area extraction method for color images based on labeling and gradient difference method. The proposed method first eliminates non-text area using the processes of labeling and filtering. After generating the candidates of text area by using the property that is high gradient difference in text area, text area is extracted using the post-processing of noise removal and text area merging. The benefits of the proposed method are its simplicity and high accuracy that is better than the conventional methods. Experimental results show that precision, recall and inverse ratio of non-text extraction (IRNTE) of the proposed method are 99.59%, 98.65% and 82.30%, respectively.

A difficulty of the visual inspection for translated, magnified and rotated objects exists owing to the limitation of recognition rate. In this paper, we perform to define Integral Logarithm Transform(ILT), to consider its characteristic for implementation of Translation-, Magnification- and Rotation-invariant inspection system, and to compare with other methods in inspection error rate. By using magnification and rotation invariance properties of ILT, it makes easier than other methods to extract the rotation degree. The new method employs the ILT for the good/bad inspection of translated, magnified and rotated objects and experiment is performed to achieve translation, magnification and rotation invariance. In other methods both magnification and rotation invariance can't be available. As the result of he experiment, it is not better than the self-organizing map in the improvement of recognition rate, but it shows us the possibility to be used as a tool for the good/bad inspection system.

The paper presents an Experimental Vehicle Model (EVM), that utilizes the kinematic characteristics of suspensions from SPMD test data. The relative displacement and orientation of a wheel with respect to the body are represented as a function of the vertical displacement of the wheel. The equations of motion of the vehicle are formulated in terms of local coordinates that do not require coordinate transformation, which improves the efficiency of dynamic analysis. The EOM was modularized for each suspension model, and a $6{\times}6$ vehicle model was obtained by combining six suspensions. The analysis results were compared with ADAMS to verify the accuracy of the EVM. This study also verifies the feasibility of real-time simulation with the developed EVM. For a vehicle simulation for 1 ms, the real simulation time required within 20% of the prescribed time. This result shows that the EVM meets the real-time simulation requirements.

We propose pulsed magnetic stimulation below 30W by the AC(60Hz) switching control of leakage transformer primary which has some advantage of cost and size compared to a typical pulsed power supply. Pulse repetition rate is adjusted from 5Hz to 60Hz to control magnetic stimulation output. In this magnetic stimulation, a low voltage open loop control for high voltage discharge circuit is employed to avoid the HV sampling or switching and high voltage leakage transformer is used to convert rectified low voltage pulse to high voltage one. A ZCS(Zero Cross Switch)circuit and a DSP & FPGA are used to control gate signal of SCR precisely. The pulse repetition rate is limited by 60Hz due to the frequency of AC line and a high leakage inductance. The maximum magnetic stimulation output was obtained about 33W at pulse repetition rate of 60Hz, total 40, 80, 120, $160^{\circ}$, SCR gate trigger angle $90^{\circ}$ and total output.

This paper proposes a robust hand segmentation method using view-invariant characteristic of a wrist-mounted camera, and deals with a hand shape recognition system based on segmented hand information. We actively utilize the advantage of the proposed camera device that provides view-invariant images physically, and segment hand region using a Bayesian rule based on adaptive histograms. We construct HSV histograms from RGB histograms, and update HSV histograms using hand region information from a current image. We also propose a user adaptation method by which hand models gradually approach user-dependent models from user-independent models as the user uses the system. The proposed method was evaluated using 16 Korean manual alphabet, and we obtained increases of 27.91% in recognition success rate.

Mass transfer mechanism and concentration profiles in the axial direction at each phase were analyzed and simulated by a theoretical modeling on a liquid-liquid static contactor using highly packed fiber bundle. The concentrations at the end of the fiber extractor calculated at several operational conditions were compared with experimental results. The fiber extractor could be completely predicted by a plug flow model without axial dispersion. A parameter used in the model equations, $k_a{\sigma}$ called the product of mass transfer coefficient and mass transfer area per unit length of the fiber extractor in the axial direction, which was determined by a curve-fitting, was confirmed to be a unique characteristic value of the fiber extractor, and was about 0.0327cm2/sec.

Demand of enhanced bilge separation sensor system has been recently increased due to the severe regulation reinforcement of MEPC(Marine Environment Production Committee). Up to date bilge separation sensor has to be extremely accurate and highly reliable. To design and build such a bilge separator. a precise oily water separation level sensor that distinguishes oil from water is critical. Three dimensional simulations have been carried out to figure out the characteristics of capacitive level sensors, which grounds the finding of the parameters required to design the sensors. The parasitic capacitance problem which is inherent to capacitive level sensors has been taken care of. This paper concludes with the future research direction that can be pursued with the newly defined parameters of the capacitive level sensors.

The purpose of this study is to measure the volumetric water content of unsaturated soils during drying and wetting process by using volumetric pressure plate extractor (VPPE) incorporated with time domain reflectometry (TDR). The VPPE consists of a pressure cell, a pressure regulator, a burette system and a TDR probe. Two samples with different initial void ratios were prepared in the pressure cell, and the air pressure at the range of 0.1 kPa - 50 kPa was applied to adjust the matric suction by the pressure regulator. The burette system was used to measure the volumetric water content change of the sample according to the matric suction. In addition, the TDR probe, installed in the cell, was used to evaluate the dielectric constant from the reflected signal of the electromagnetic wave at the probe. The volumetric water content of specimen was estimated by the empirical equation between the volumetric water content and dielectric constant, which was calibrated with the Jumunjin sand. The test results show that the volumetric water content calculated by TDR probe is strongly correlated to the measured value by burette system. The hysteresis occurs during drying and wetting process. Furthermore, the degree of hysteresis reduces in the repeated process. This study suggests that TDR may be effectively used to evaluate the water content soil for the determination of water characteristic curve of unsaturated soils.
