Since the MPEG-4 visual standard enables content-based functionalities, it is necessary to extract video object from natural video sequences. Segmentation algorithms can largely be classified into automatic segmentation and user-assisted segmentation. In this paper, we propose a user-assisted VOP generation method based on the geometric active contour. Since the geometric active contour, unlike the parametric active contour, employs the level set method to evolve the curve, we can draw the initial curve independent of the shape of the object. In order to generate the edge function from a smoothed image, we propose a vector-valued diffusion process in the LUV color space. We also present a discrete 3-D diffusion model for easy implementation. By combining the curve shrinkage in the vector field space with the curve expansion in the empty vector space, we can make accurate extraction of visual objects from video sequences.

In this paper, an algorithm for a real-time automatic fingerprint identification system is proposed. The fingerprint feature volume is extracted by considering distinct and local characteristics(such as intensity and image quality difference etc.) in fingerprint images, which makes the algorithm properly adaptive to various image acquisitionj methods. Also the matching technique is designed to be invariant on rotation, scaling and translation (RST) changes while being capable of real-time processing. And the classification of fingerprints is performed based on the ridge flow and the relations among singular points such as cores and deltas. The developed fingerprint identification algorithm has been applied to various sets of fingerprint images such as one from NIST(National Institute of Standards and Technology, USA), a pressed fingerprint database constructed according to Korean population distributions in sex, ages and jobs, and a set of rolled-than-scanned fingerprint images. The overall performance of the algorithm has been analyzed and evaluated to the false rejection ratio of 0.07% while holding the false acceptance ratio of 0%.

In this paper, we have developed communication modules for ubiquitous transportation sensor network (u-TSN). The developed module can be used for intelligent transportation services. The developed systems are based on IEEE 802.11a and IEEE 802.11g technologies for vehicle and infrastructure systems, respectively. We have found that the throughput for the developed systems is at maximum around 15 Mbps. It is reduced to 10 Mbps at a long distance and high speed condition. The performance is enough to support traffic control services in dense traffic condition.

Knowledge management is a core factor to achieve competitive advantage and improve the business performance. New information technology is also a core factor enabling the innovation of knowledge management. Semantic Web of which the goal is to realize machine-processable Web can't help affecting the knowledge management. Therefore, we empirically analyze the relationship between user's dissatisfaction and barriers or limitations of knowledge management and present methods allowing Semantic Web to overcome the limitations and to support knowledge management processes. Based on a questionnaire survey of 222 respondents, we found that the limitations of system qualities such as user inconvenience of knowledge management systems, search and integration limitations, and the limitations of knowledge qualities such as inappropriateness and untrust significantly affected the user dissatisfaction of knowledge management systems. Finally, we suggest a conceptual model of knowledge management systems of which components are resources, metadata, ontologies, and user & query layers.

This paper presents an improved ZVS partial series resonant DC/DC converter (PSRC) with low conduction losses, suitable for high power and high frequency applications. The proposed PSRC have advantages of zero-voltage-switching (ZVS) of main switches for entire load ranges low conduction losses of main switches by decreasing current stresses. Also the reduction of the effective duty cycle is not occurred during the resonant period of the main circuit because the auxiliary circuit of the proposed converter is placed out of the main power path. The auxiliary circuit is composed with passive components, which are an inductor, two capacitors, two diodes, and a saturable inductor. An improved ZVS PSRC has so much characteristics with respect to the overall system efficiency and to the reduction of current stresses. The operation principles of the proposed converter are explained in detail and the various simulated and experimental results show the validity of the proposed converter.

Recently, workers on construction sites can hardly understand their tasks and the process of the tasks because the construction projects are becoming large and complex. Due to the complexity, workers need a tool that can help them understand their works and some paper-based manuals exist to support them. However, the existing paperbased manuals are not actively used by workers due to the low credibility of information on the manual. In particular, paper-based manual can not be updated frequently because those manuals have to be manually updated by experts. Thus, the credibility of information is decreased and the decrease let the users distrust information of the paper-based manual. Therefore, this research analyzed the feature of wiki-based system and suggested an wiki-based IETM(Interactive Electronic Technical Manual) system model that can be modified by users, and then conducted a survey through a prototype based on urban regeneration project. The result of the survey indicated that wikibased IETM can improve the stakeholder communication by reinforcing the process of creating knowledge as well as knowledge itself.

In this paper, we presents the design and implementation results of the FFT processor, which supports 4096 points of operation with less memory by sharing several memory used in the base-4 systolic array FFT processor into one memory. Sharing memory provides the advantage of reducing the area, and also simplifies the flow of data as I/O of the data progresses in one memory. The presented FFT processor was implemented and verified on the FPGA device. The implementation resulted in 51,855 CLB LUTs, 29,712 CLB registers, 8 block RAM tiles and 450 DSPs, and confirmed that the memory area could be reduced by 65% compared to the existing base-4 systolic array structure.

Vacuum deposited 4,4',4''-tris(N-(1-naphthyl)-N-phenylamino)-triphenylamine (1-TNATA), a widely-used semiconductor material, is placed as a thin interlayer between indium tin oxide (ITO) electrode and a hole transporting layer (HTL) in OLEDs and a well-stacked 1-TNATA layer leads to stable and high efficiency devices by reducing the carrier injection barrier at the interface between the ITO anode and hole transport layers. According to Raman spectra, thermal annealing after deposition as well as electromagnetic field treatment during deposition lead to closer stacking of 1-TNATA molecules and resulted in molecular ordering. By thermal annealing at about $110^{\circ}C$, an increase in current flow through the film by over 25% was observed. Molecularly-ordered 1-TNATA films played an important role in achieving higher luminance efficiency as well as higher power efficiency of the multi-layered organic EL devices in the present work. Electromagnetic field treatment during deposition was less effective compared to thermal annealing

대기압 제트 플라즈마는 의료산업 및 재료공정, 정수, 기체흐름 제어 등 다양한 분야에 적용을 위한 연구가 활발히 진행되고 있다. 뿐만 아니라 구동 조건에 따라 다양한 방전 모드가 존재하며, 이에 따라 발생된 플라즈마의 광학적 및 전기적 특성도 매우 다르게 나타나기 때문에 과학적으로도 새로운 현상들이 속속 발표되고 있다. 대기압 제트 플라즈마에서 중요한 과학적 현상 중 하나인 스트리머(streamer) 혹은 플라즈마 총알(plasma bullet)은 수-수십 kHz의 저주파 전압으로 구동 시 특정 조건에서 발생하는 현상으로, 최근 들어 시간분해능이 높은 ICCD 카메라를 이용하여 스트리머의 발생 및 전파에 대한 새로운 현상의 발견과 다양한 물리적 이해가 시도되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 헬륨 대기압 제트 플라즈마에 포함된 질소 함유량에 따른 다중 스트리머의 발생 및 기작의 이해를 시도하였다. 구동 전압 및 주파수, 헬륨기체의 유량, 전극 구조 및 간격 등 모든 조건이 동일한 상태에서 질소기체의 함유량을 증가시킬수록 특정 영역에서 스트리머의 개수가 증가하는 것을 관찰되었다. 또한 $N_2{^+}$의 방출광 세기가 헬륨 및 산소 원자의 방출광보다 지배적인 것으로 측정되었으며, 이는 헬륨 플라즈마에서 흔히 나타나는 헬륨 metastable에 의한 질소분자의 페닝 이온화(Penning ionization) 때문이다. 본 연구팀은 페닝 이온화($He^*+N_2{\rightarrow}He+N_2{^+}+e$)로 인해 추가적으로 발생하는 전자가 다중 스트리머 발생에 중요한 역할을 하는 것이라 제안한다. 좀 더 심화적인 분석을 하고자 헬륨-질소 플라즈마에서 주된 여러 가지 반응식을 이용하여 페닝 이온화에 의한 이온화율 및 전자의 직접적인 충돌에 의한 질소, 헬륨의 이온화율의 계산을 수행하여 특정 영역에서 헬륨의 이온화율보다 질소 페닝 이온화율이 더 커지는 것을 확인하였다.
