This study examined the fairness of the teaching aptitude and personality test assigned to pre-service engineering teachers in a graduate school of education based on measurement traits. For this study, we analyzed the teaching aptitude and personality test scores of 99 students enrolled in engineering education in a graduate school of education located in the Seoul metropolitan area from 2013 to 2017. The main results were as follows. First, the estimated variance due to residual was generally the highest, followed by nesting of items within domains, pre-service engineering teachers, interactions of pre-service engineering teachers with domains, domains, and occasions. Second, dependability coefficients were better indicators than Cronbach's because the latter may have been overestimated by applying the traditional reliability coefficient in inappropriate manners. Third, the teaching aptitude and personality test can be applied to pre-service engineering teachers in a graduate school of education based on empirical evidence considering dependability coefficients. Fourth, a total of 96 items from the original 210 items, with 2 occasions and 12 domains containing 8 items in each domain, were optimal measurement conditions to reach adequate degrees of reliability based on the total number of items. Finally, the results were discussed, the study limitations described and future research directions proposed.

Nondestructive methods to check the vitality of trees and to find out internal decay of old-giant trees include the use of electrical resistance, ultrasound transmission time, microdrilling, and infrared thermography etc. Among these, ultrasound transmission offers some advantages compared to others such as it is an entirely nondestructive detection method and it can be applied to very big trees. However, the ultrasound equipment is comparatively expensive and not broadly spread yet. On the other hand, Shigometer is versatile to be applied to check vitality of the tree and find out internal decay. Electrical conductivity of plant tissues is a very useful characteristics to determine the vitality and internal decay of trees. Electrical resistance of cambial area tells about the vitality of a tree and electrical resistance of heartwood reveals discoloration or decay of it. For determination of the vitality of the tree, the standard equation for calibration of measured electrical resistances should be developed by measuring and analyzing electrical resistance from at least 30-40 trees of the same species with that tree. All the factors, especially tree species, diameter of the stem, and temperature, which can altered the electrical resistance of trees, should be taken into consideration in the development of the equation. If the standard equation is developed for old-giant trees that we should conserve, it will be very useful. In addition, periodical and continued measuring of a certain tree will help to determine the condition of the tree by comparing the measurement with accumulated data of the tree. Measuring electrical resistance of wood might not require the standard equation. But it also needs to check electrical resistance of sound wood of the same tree species. If the stems that should be examined is thicker than 40cm, it is better to use the ultrasound measurement combined to Shigometer.

This paper presents Finger Keyboard which detects the user's key types on a keyboard drawn on the paper using a video camera. The Finger Keyboard software was written in standard C/C++ language and thus easy to port to other computing environments. We installed a popular USB-type web camera on a Windows PC and implemented the Finger Keyboard as a Windows application which detects key typing and then injects the key code into the message queue of the Windows operating system. Also we implemented the Finger Keyboard on the Raspberry Pi 2 embedded computer with a dedicated camera and connected it to the Android device as an external keyboard through the Bluetooth. The result of experiments showed that the average ratio of recognition success is around 80% at the typing speed of 120 characters per minute.

The development of equipments which are for the collection and processing of digital images in digital photogrammetry is actively performed at the research about practical use. The close-range digital photogrammetry is widely using to determine accurate position, feature, and size of objects. The goal of this study is to judge the precise surveying possibility of a streamline object, like a vehicle, using digital close-range photogrammetry. The standard deviation of the calculated coordinates is respectively ${\sigma}_x$=0.434mm, ${\sigma}_y$=0.619mm, ${\sigma}_z$=0.387mm. The result values is enough to converge an accuracy required for the field of an automobile design. Therefor we suggest that the digital close-range photogrammetry could be use for the majority of industries.

최근의 휴대 전화는 단순한 음성 통신 기기 역할뿐만 아니라 데이터 통신 기기로도 쓰이고 있으며, CDMA-2000 망 보급으로 인하여 데이터 통신 대역폭이 멀티미디어 데이터를 처리 할 수 있을 만큼 증대되었다. 하지만 휴대 전화는 하드웨어 성능이 음성 통신 기기로 최적화되어 있고 매우 단순화된 실시간성 운영체제로 인해 이러한 대역폭을 활용할 수 있는 소프트웨어 방식의 비디오/오디오 플레이어 개발이 매우 힘들다. 특히, CDMA 방식의 휴대 전화에 사용되는 비선점형 운영체제인 REX 에서는 선점형 운영 체제에 적합한 다중 쓰레드 구조의 멀티미디어 응용 프로그램 제작이 어렵다. 또한, 널리 사용되는 비디오/오디오 표준(MPEG-x, H.26x, 등등)은 압축 최우선의 방식으로써 계산량이 매우 크기 때문에 휴대 전화에서 하드웨어 도움 없이 소프트웨어로만 재생하기에는 적합하지 않다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 문제를 해결하기 위해 먼저 휴대 전화의 하드웨어 자원과 시스템에 적합한 비디오/오디오 코덱에 대해 간략히 알아보고 비디오/오디오 동기화를 위해 이에 적합한 시스템 디코더와 소프트웨어 플레이어 구조를 제안한다. 또한 실제 휴대 전화에 적용하여 그 성능을 측정 한다.

As high quality digital cameras become readily available, digital cameras are being used not only for simple picture recording but also as information storing media in various fields. However, due to the fact that the spectral responses of the camera sensors are different from color matching functions of the CIE standard observer, the color can not be measured using these cameras. This study shows a method for converting camera image to sRGB image, in which color information is preserved. The transfer matrix between camera output signals and CIE stimulus values was determined using a multiple regression method with Macbeth ColorChecker as target colors. The CIE stimulus values for camera output signals can be mapped with a transfer matrix, and these values are converted to sRGB signals. As the result of testing a Kodak DC220 digital camera, the average color difference of Macbeth ColorChecker between true and displayed colors was 2.1 $\Delta$ $E_{ab}$ $^{*}$.$^{*}$.

In this paper, we proposed the development of a mixed sensor parts for integrated radiation exposure protection fireman's life-saving alarm that can be location-tracked and irradiated. To measure radiation exposure dose, we use the PIN-Diode radiation measurement sensor module, a semi-conductive radiation measurement sensor that can minimize size and weight. The design for removing leakage current is carried out to enhance the characteristics of the radiation measurement sensor using PIN-Diode. The IMU sensor module is used to estimate the location of the current fireman at the same time as the accident estimate by adding together the data and the values for acceleration on the three axis. Experiments were conductied by an authorized testing agency to determine the efficiency of the proposed mixed sensor parts for integrated radiation exposure protection fireman's life-saving alarms. The cumulative dose measurement range was measured in the range of 10 μSv to 10 mSv, the highest level in the world. The accuracy was measured from ±6.3% to ±9.0% (137 Cs) and normal operation was found at the international standard of ±15%. In addition, positional accuracy was measured within ±10%, resulting in a high level of results, demonstrating its effectiveness. Therefore, it is expected that more firemen will be able to provide with superior performance integrated radiation exposure protection fireman life-saving alarm.

The Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport has introduced low-floor buses, which are convenient for passengers getting on and off the bus and for the handicapped. The standard bus model is 11 m long and uses compressed natural gas (CNG). However, this model has drawbacks in narrow rural road conditions such as those in farming and fishing villages and mountainous areas, as well as difficulty in refueling since CNG facilities are not readily available. In this study, running resistance values were obtained by coasting performance tests on actual roads using a Tata Daewoo LF-40 model with three different weight conditions: curb vehicle weight (CVW), half vehicle weight (HVW), and gross vehicle weight (GVW).The test methods include WHVC, NIER-06, and constant-speed driving at 60 km/h. These tests were used to measure the fuel economy of vehicles other than the target vehicles to obtain the combined fuel economy. The energy efficiency was highest in the case of CVW. In the WHVC mode, the fuel consumption rates of HVW and GVW were typically 3.5% and 12% higher than that of CVW, respectively. In constant-speed driving, the fuel efficiency of HVW was higher than that of CVW. Further research is required to analyze the exhaust gas data.

Existing autonomous driving technology has been developed based on sensors attached to the vehicles to detect the environment and formulate driving plans. On the other hand, it has limitations, such as performance degradation in specific situations like adverse weather conditions, backlighting, and obstruction-induced occlusion. To address these issues, cooperative autonomous driving technology, which extends the perception range of autonomous vehicles through the support of road infrastructure, has attracted attention. Nevertheless, the real-time analysis of the 3D centroids of objects, as required by international standards, is challenging using single-lens cameras. This paper proposes an approach to detect objects and estimate the centroid of vehicles using the fixed field of view of road infrastructure and pre-measured geometric information in real-time. The proposed method has been confirmed to effectively estimate the center point of objects using GPS positioning equipment, and it is expected to contribute to the proliferation and adoption of cooperative autonomous driving infrastructure technology, applicable to both vehicles and road infrastructure.
