최근 연구들에서, 증강 현실(Augmented Reality; AR) 환경에서의 촉각 상호작용에 대한 가능성이 논의되었다. 비젼 기반의 트래킹을 기초로 한 증강 현실 기술은 미리 정의된 2차원 마커(marker)를 이용하여, 카메라로부터 획득된 실시간 영상 위에 가상 물체를 증강한다. 그러나, 카메라로부터 획득된 데이터는 몇몇 오차 요인들, 예를 들어 마커의 위치를 인식하는데 나타나는 오차, 카메라 안에 존재하는 센서 잡음 등으로 인해서 마커 잡음(마커를 인식하면서 나타나는 잡음)이 불가결하게 발생하게 된다. 이러한 이유로 인해서, 사용자가 한 손에는 마커를, 다른 한 손으로는 촉감 장치를 이용하여, 마커에 증강된 물체를 만질 때, 마커 잡음은 힘의 떨림(force trembling)을 발생시킨다. 심지어, 이러한 현상은 정지된 마커에 증강된, 마커가 움직이지 않는 상황에서도 발생한다. 게다가, 마커 위에 증강된 물체가 약간 빠른 속도로 이동하게 될 경우, 측정된 이동 거리는 연속적인 프레임(frame)들 간의 불연속적일 수 있다. 만약 사용자가, 대략 30Hz로 위치와 방향이 갱신되는 가상물체를 촉각적으로 상호작용하려 한다면, 계산되는 반력은 급작스런 힘의 변화를 생성하게 될 수도 있다. 이러한 현상을 극복하기 위해서, 마커 잡음을 최소화하기 위해서 정적 임계값(constant threshold)을 이용할 뿐만 아니라, 보간법을 같이 사용한 방법이 있었다. 하지만, 이러한 방법은 정적 임계값을 이용하고, 영상 프레임 갱신 속도와(video frame rate)와 촉각 프레임 갱신 속도가 일정하다는 가정을 사용하였기 때문에, 여전히 힘의 불연속적인 발생이 나타난다. 따라서, 이 논문에서는 두 가지 방법을 이용하여 증강 현실 내에서, 발생할 수 있는 힘의 불연속적인 변화를 보정하는 두 가지 방법, 잡음 제거를 위한 확장된 칼만 필터(Extend Kalman Filter)와 영상과 촉각 갱신 속도 차이에 따른 갑작스런 힘의 변화를 제거하기 위한 적응적 외삽법(Adaptive Extrapolation method)을 제안한다.

In this paper, the neurofuzzy controller of optically guided AGV is proposed to improve the path-tracking performance A differential steered AGV has front-side and rear-side optical sensors, which can identify the guiding path. Due to the discontinuity of measured data in optical sensors, optically guided AGVs break away easily from the guiding path and path-tracking performance is being degraded. Whenever the On/Off signals in the optical sensors are generated discontinuously, the motion errors can be measured and updated. After sensing, the variation of motion errors can be estimated continuously by the dead reckoning method according to left/right wheel angular velocity. We define the estimated contour error as the sum of the measured contour in the sensing error and the estimated variation of contour error after sensing. The neurofuzzy system consists of incorporating fuzzy controller and neural network. The center and width of fuzzy membership functions are adaptively adjusted by back-propagation learning to minimize th estimated contour error. The proposed control system can be compared with the traditional fuzzy control and decision system in their network structure and learning ability. The proposed control strategy is experience through simulated model to check the performance.

최근 삶의 수준의 향상과 의학 기술의 발전으로 노인 인구가 증가하고 있다. 하지만 늘어나는 노인 인구에 비례하여 신체적 노화로 거동이 어려운 노인의 수 또한 증가하는 추세이다. 실제로 많은 노인 인구가 거동이 불편해 정상적인 생활을 하지 못하고 있기 때문에 보행 시 적절한 힘을 보조해 줄 수 있는 보행 보조 장치의 개발이 필요하다. 이 같은 보행 보조 장치를 개발함에 있어 보행자의 보행 패턴이 고려된다면 보행자의 걸음걸이에 맞춰 자연스럽게 힘을 보조해 줄 수 있기 때문에 보행자의 보행 단계 분류에 관한 연구가 선행되어야 한다. 그래서 본 논문에서는 하지 근전도 신호를 이용해 보행 단계를 구분하는 방법을 제안하고자 한다. 근전도 신호는 근육이 움직일 때 발생하는 아주 작은 전기적인 신호이다. 근전도 신호는 작은 잡음에도 민감하며, 전극을 부착하는 근육의 위치에 따라서도 값의 차이가 크기 때문에 근전도 신호의 획득 및 처리 방법이 중요하다. 위를 위해 피실험자 별 근육의 위치와 보행 속도를 달리하여 근전도 신호를 획득하고 획득한 신호로부터 여러 특징 값을 추출한다. 그리고 새로운 데이터에 대해 적응성이 강하고 시간에 따라 변하는 근전도 신호의 특성을 잘 반영할 수 있으며 각 집합(class)의 비선형 분리가 가능한 퍼지 최대-최소 신경망(Fuzzy Min-Max Neural Network: FMMNN)을 이용해 보행 단계를 분류해 본다. 실험 결과를 통해 제안한 방법의 타당성을 검증해 보고 보행자, 보행속도, 근전도 측정을 위한 근육의 위치가 보행 패턴 분류에 미치는 영향을 알아본다.

In this paper, we propose video quality control system(VQCS) which can control video service quality through the monitoring of end-to-end available bandwidth for video streaming service like IPTV in NGN convergence network. Various multimedia services such as video, voice and gaming service can be provided by IPTV, and these services require large amounts of bandwidth. At this time, video quality degradation like video jerkiness, block distortion and blurring is caused when network available bandwidth is insufficient. Available bandwidth monitoring method is need to stably control video streaming quality. So, we periodically calculate the amount of the packets in link and measure available bandwidth by using total length field in IP header at terminal. Scalability extractor in network selects suitable video streaming data rate based on available bandwidth and transports video streaming with adaptive data rate to prevent video quality deterioration.

Most of literatures on Korean child aggression are based on using the cross-sectional data sets. Although there is a related study with a longitudinal data set, it is assumed that the data sets measured repeatedly in the longitudinal data are mutually independent. A longitudinal data analysis for Korean child aggression is then necessary. This study is to analyze the effect of child development outcomes including academic achievement, self-esteem, depression anxiety, delinquency, victimization by peers, abuse by parents and internet using time on child aggression with Korea Welfare Panel Study data observed three times between 2006 and 2012. Since Korea Welfare Panel Study data have missing values, the missing at random is assumed. The linear mixed effect model and the restricted maximum likelihood estimation are considered.

Ship officers are subject to excessive job stress, which has negative physical and psychological impacts and may adversely affect the smooth supply and demand of human resources. In this study, a mobile web application was developed as a tool for systematic job stress measurement and management of officers and verified through quality evaluation. Requirement analysis was performed by ship officers and staff in charge of human resources of shipping companies, and the results were reflected in the application configuration step. The application was designed according to the waterfall model, which is a traditional software development method, and functions were implemented using JSP and Spring Framework. Performance evaluation on the user interface, confirmed that proper input and output results were implemented, and the respondent results and the database were configured in the administrator interface. The results of evaluation questionnaires for quality evaluation of the interface based on ISO/IEC 9126-2 metric were significant 4.60 for the user interface and 4.65 for the administrator interface in a 5-point scale. In the future, it is necessary to conduct follow-up research on the development of data analysis system through utilization of the collected big-data sets.

It is very difficult problem to estimate and evaluate the performance of e-government system which scope and size are large and its effectiveness can not be seen shortly but reveals after several years. It is because the previous offline processes can not be transformed to online ones fully and shortly. For such e-transformation cases, the performance evaluation model should be adjusted and modified gradually as time passes. This paper propose new EEM(E-transformation Evaluation Model) model and methodology to evaluate G2B system that is one of large e-government project. EEM model can derive monetary value of e-transformatized business process areas(online areas). It also estimate the expected effect of offline area that is not yet transformed to online. EEM model consists of standard model, verification model and estimation model with some variables such as evaluation year, evaluation area and data type. By using survey data and database data together it can validate the correctness of the model and derive the effect of the system introduction. This paper also propose EEM evaluation methodology consisting of 5 stages and 10 sub processes to evaluate online and offline effect efficiently. To show the usefulness of this study, we evaluate the performance of Korea G2B system named KONEPS which is famous as a successful e-government case in the world by using the proposed model and methodology. The proposed model and methodology can be applied to different similar areas including e-government projects and large scale information system introduction in private sectors. This study can be also used for establishing appropriate policies about e-government project and informatization issues.

This study analyzes the effect of institutionalization of Korean metropolitan councils on legislation productivity. Based on the theory of institutionalization of legislatures, three independent variables (stability, complexity and adaptability) were selected to measure the level of institutionalization of a metropolitan council and nine sub-analysis indicators. The main results of the analysis of the effect of the institutionalization of the metropolitan council on legislation productivity are as follows: First, the factors that determine the number of reported bills were the ratio of first-term lawmakers, average number of elected of the chairmen, number of special committees, number of legislative experts, actual age of metropolitan councils, and number of voters per lawmaker. Second, the factors that determine the rate of reported bills were the average number of elected of the chairmen, the number of special committees, the number of legislative experts, the actual age of metropolitan councils, and the number of voters per lawmaker. Third, the factors that determine the number of reported bills per lawmaker is the average number of elected of the chairmen, the actual age of metropolitan councils, and the number of voters per lawmaker. The above result points out that legislation productivity differences of past metropolitan councils can be understood as differences arising from legislative institutionalization levels and several policy considerations can be made to enhance legislation productivity of metropolitan councils.

There are many image processing based algorithms and applications that fail when illumination change occurs. Therefore, the illumination change has to be detected then the illumination change occurred images need to be enhanced in order to keep the appropriate algorithm processing in a reality. In this paper, a new method for detecting illumination changes efficiently in a real time by using local region information and fuzzy logic is introduced. The effective way for detecting illumination changes in lighting area and the edge of the area was selected to analyze the mean and variance of the histogram of each area and to reflect the changing trends on previous frame's mean and variance for each area of the histogram. The ways are used as an input. The changes of mean and variance make different patterns w hen illumination change occurs. Fuzzy rules were defined based on the patterns of the input for detecting illumination changes. Proposed method was tested with different dataset through the evaluation metrics; in particular, the specificity, recall and precision showed high rates. An automatic parameter selection method was proposed for contrast limited adaptive histogram equalization method by using entropy of image through adaptive neural fuzzy inference system. The results showed that the contrast of images could be enhanced. The proposed algorithm is robust to detect global illumination change, and it is also computationally efficient in real applications.

This paper proposes a filtering method for effective state vector estimation of highly maneuvering target. It is needed to hit the point called 'sweet spot' to increase the kill probability in missile interception. In paper, a filtering method estimates the length of a moving target tracked by a frequency modulated continuous wave (FMCW) radar. High resolution range profiles (HRRPs) is generated from the radar echo signal and then it's integrated into proposed filtering method. To simulate the radar measurement which is close to real, the study on the properties of scattering point of the missile-like target has been conducted with ISAR image for different angle. Also, it is hard to track the target efficiently with existing Kalman filters which has fixed measurement noise covariance matrix R. Therefore the proposed method continuously updates the covariance matrix R with sensor measurements and tracks the target. Numerical simulations on the proposed method shows reliable results under reasonable assumptions on the missile interception scenario.
