The advances in image display devices necessitate display images suitable for the user's purpose. The display devices should be able to provide object-based image information when a depthmap is required. In this paper, we represent the algorithm using a histogram-based image segmentation method for depthmap generation. In the conventional K-means clustering algorithm, the number of centroids is parameterized, so existing K-means algorithms cannot adaptively determine the number of clusters. Further, the problem of K-means algorithm tends to sink into the local minima, which causes over-segmentation. On the other hand, the proposed algorithm is adaptively able to select centroids and can stand on the basis of the histogram-based algorithm considering the amount of computational complexity. It is designed to show object-based results by preventing the existing algorithm from falling into the local minimum point. Finally, we remove the over-segmentation components through connected-component labeling algorithm. The results of proposed algorithm show object-based results and better segmentation results of 0.017 and 0.051, compared to the benchmark method in terms of Probabilistic Rand Index(PRI) and Segmentation Covering(SC), respectively.

For deciding the owner's budget of the building construction in the predesign stage, the probabilistic methodologies for estimating the cost are often studied, however these parameter-based conceptual estimating methodology has limitation of applying it to the practical business because it hardly can link the design decision-making and the cost estimating and control. Besides if the result of detail estimating after detail design is over the budget, locally and arbitrarily control the level of interior design and fix the design. This research proposed the prototype-based cost estimating model for building interior construction which leads to estimate the interior cost easily linking with design decision-making and supports to evaluate the design alternatives in the schematic design and the design development stage for office buildings. The model divides the building on the design process by Element Breakdown Structure and presents the design alternative by selecting the elements of each room from the database accumulated the historical office buildings' prototypes and estimates the cost. The 2 case studies presented to validate the effectiveness of as the linking tool integrating the design and construction data and applicability to the practical design on the presented prototype-based model.

The object of this study is a development of a stochastic user equilibrium transit assignment algorithm for multiple user classes considering stochastic characteristics and heterogeneous attributes of passengers. The existing transit assignment algorithms have limits to attain realistic results because they assume a characteristic of passengers to be equal. Although one group with transit information and the other group without it have different trip patterns, the past studies could not explain the differences. For overcoming the problems, we use following methods. First, we apply a stochastic transit assignment model to obtain the difference of the perceived travel cost between passengers and apply a multiple user class assignment model to obtain the heterogeneous qualify of groups to get realistic results. Second, we assume that person trips have influence on the travel cost function in the development of model. Third, we use a C-logit model for solving IIA(independence of irrelevant alternatives) problems. According to repetition assigned trips and equivalent path cost have difference by each group and each path. The result comes close to stochastic user equilibrium and converging speed is very fast. The algorithm of this study is expected to make good use of evaluation tools in the transit policies by applying heterogeneous attributes and OD data.
