Recently, although the need of marine robots such as the underwater robot, surface robot and airborne robot being raised in extreme areas, the basis is very deficient. Fortunately, as the need of the robot education is increasing, it is desirable to establish the R&D basis of marine robots and to train future talents through the development and diffusion of marine robot kits. However, in conventional case, there is no marine robot-kit based on the balloon, which has the abilities of the airborne locomotion and obstacle avoidance. To solve this problem, a balloon-based autonomous airborne robot-kit that has the ability of the obstacle avoidance with an infrared sensor, is developed. The test and evaluation results show the possibility of the real applications and the necessity of additional work.

본 논문에서는 위치기반 동역학(Position based dynamics, PBD)을 기반으로 하는 프레임워크를 활용하여 풍선 내 공기로 의한 표면의 회전과 변형을 효율적으로 표현할 수 있는 새로운 방법을 제안한다. 기존의 경우 볼륨 형태인 다면체 메쉬(Tetrahedral mesh)를 활용하여 표면 내부를 모델링 하거나 입자 기반의 유체 시뮬레이션을 통하여 공기역학을 계산해야 되지만, 각각의 동역학뿐만 아니라 상호작용까지 고려해야 되기 때문에 계산양이 커서 다양한 분야에서 활용하기 어렵다. 본 논문에서는 이 문제를 효율적으로 풀어내기 위해 공기의 움직임을 파악하기 위한 유체 시뮬레이션을 계산하지 않고도, 풍선 내 바람에 의한 표면 수축 및 확장을 PBD기반으로 풀어내고, 공기가 빠질 때 나타나는 표면의 회전을 효율적으로 계산할 수 있다. 본 논문에서 제안하는 방법은 정점(Vertex)의 개수가 많은 모델에서도 실시간 처리되는 결과를 보여 줄 수 있기 때문에 게임뿐만 아니라 실시간을 요구하는 물리기반 가상환경 구축에 활용될 수 있다.

영화와 같은 사실적인 영상은 너무 많은 정보를 포함하고 있어서 때로는 사용자에게 제작자의 의도를 쉽게 전달하기 어려울 수 있다. 이와 달리 만화와 같은 비사실적인 영상은 중요하지 않은 부분을 아주 간단하게 표현하거나 혹은 중요한 부분만을 강조해서, 작가의 의도를 직관적으로 훨씬 잘 전달해 준다. 만화는 스피드라인, 말풍선, 배경 텍스쳐 등과 같은 만화 고유의 표현 기법들을 통하여 일반 정지영상들보다 많은 부가적인 정보를 전달해 준다. 특히, 말풍선은 장면 내의 인물들의 대사를 전달하는 매체로, 올바른 내용 전달을 위해 읽기순서(reading order)에 따른 말풍선간의 관계 및 말풍선과 인물간의 관계를 고려하여 적절한 위치에 배치 되어야 한다. 본 논문에서는 비디오 영상에서 추출된 장면의 만화적 변환을 위한 기법들 중에서 말풍선 자동 배치 방법을 제안한다. 제안한 방법은 지도에서 지명을 배치할 때 흔히 사용하는 특징점 라벨 배치(Point-Feature Label Placement) 방법에 기반하였다. 또한, 본 논문에서는 말풍선 배치가 얼마나 잘 되었는가를 평가하기 위한 객관적인 평가 함수를 제안하였다. "Love Actually", "살인의 추억"등의 다양한 영화 장면들을 이용하여 실험한 결과, 제안한 방법의 말풍선 배치 결과가 사람이 수작업으로 배치한 것과 비교해 크게 부족함이 없는 것을 알 수 있었다.

Generally, word balloon have played a role to connect the script with character in comics. The location of word balloons depicts the process of story in comics, because they are located by reading order. Therefore, it is very Important works to generate and place word balloons, these work usually is processed manually by comic writer's. In this paper, we discuss the automated generation and placement of word balloon. For this, we modeled 6 kinds of word balloons. And these word balloons are placed by heuristic method based on EPFLP. We also generate the tail of word balloon automatically by considering the direction and reference points of word balloon.

Purpose: To determine the appropriate prostate planning target volume (PTV) margins for 3-dimensitional (3D) conformal radiotherapy (CRT) and intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) patients treated with an endorectal balloon (ERB) under our institutional treatment condition. Materials and Methods: Patients were treated in the supine position. An ERB was inserted into the rectum with 70 cc air prior to planning a CT scan and then each treatment fraction. Electronic portal images (EPIs) and digital reconstructed radiographs (DRR) of planning CT images were used to evaluate inter-fractional patient's setup and ERB errors. To register both image sets, we developed an in-house program written in visual $C^{++}$. A new method to determine prostate PTV margins with an ERB was developed by using the common method. Results: The mean value of patient setup errors was within 1 mm in all directions. The ERB inter-fractional errors in the superior-inferior (SI) and anterior-posterior (AP) directions were larger than in the left-right (LR) direction. The calculated 1D symmetric PTV margins were 3.0 mm, 8.2 mm, and 8.5 mm for 3D CRT and 4.1 mm, 7.9 mm, and 10.3 mm for IMRT in LR, SI, and AP, respectively according to the new method including ERB random errors. Conclusion: The ERB random error contributes to the deformation of the prostate, which affects the original treatment planning. Thus, a new PTV margin method includes dose blurring effects of ERB. The correction of ERB systematic error is a prerequisite since the new method only accounts for ERB random error.

This study deals with an experiment to measure ozone concentration in the atmosphere over the Korean Peninsula, Jeollabuk-do, using a helium balloon and analyze the change in atmospheric density based on the scale height. In the experiment, Arduino Uno was used to collect data and ozone concentration was measured using the MQ131 sensor. In addition, the BMP280 sensor was used to measure temperature and atmospheric pressure at various altitudes. The experimental results showed that the scale height of the atmosphere over the Korean Peninsula was 6,828.30 m, and the decreasing pattern of atmospheric density was confirmed based on this. In addition, by analyzing the graph of the measured ozone level, a phenomenon of a rapid decrease in the ozone level was observed between 8 km and 9 km altitude. These results can provide important information for understanding the atmospheric environment and ozone concentration changes and for environmental monitoring.

Recently, although the need of marine robots being raised in extreme areas, the basis is very deficient. Fortunately, as the robot competition is vitalizing and the need of the robot education is increasing, it is desirable to establish the basis of the R&D and industrialization of marine robots and to train professionals through the development and diffusion of marine robot kits. However, in conventional case, there is no remotely operated aerial robot-kit based on the balloon for the marine robot competition, which has the abilities of the airborne locomotion and obstacle avoidance. To solve this problem, an aerial robot-kit which has the abilities of the airborne locomotion and remote control, is developed. To verify the performance of the developed kit, test and evaluation such as surge, yaw and pitch is performed. The test and evaluation results show that the possibility of the real applications of the developed kit.

인간은 태어날 때부터 접하게 되는 모든 것이 색으로 이루어져 있으며, 색상은 인간의 건강과 정신적 측면에 많은 영향을 끼친다. 어린 시절부터 색상 학습을 통해 색 자극을 지속적으로 주게 되면, 정서적인 안정감뿐만 아니라 감성 발달까지 유도할 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 안드로이드 운영체제 기반의 유아의 색 학습을 위한 안드로이드용 풍선 터뜨리기 게임을 구현하였다. 로그인 시스템을 적용하여 사용자 개개인의 학습 결과를 제공하고, 통합적인 데이터베이스를 구축하여 사용자의 랭킹 시스템을 구현하였다, 직관적인 조작이 가능하도록 UI를 적용하여 유아에게도 쉽게 색상 공부를 하도록 하였다. 추후 다양한 색들을 추가하여 다른 색도 학습할 수 있도록 개선하고, 개수와 속도조절을 통한 난이도 조절기능이 추가된다면 유아의 색의 학습뿐만 아니라 두뇌발달에도 도움이 되고 나아가서 손가락 재활이나 치매예방 등 다양한 분야에 적용될 수 있을 것으로 예상된다.

Modeling of rubber for design or analysis often requires confusing or complex work because there are a large number of constitutive models to be considered. Some models have few material constants, while others have many. Researchers have to prepare and fit extensive experimental data with caution and discretion. In this paper, we first compared some typical rubber models in which deformation was carried out by stretching up to around eight times the original size. We conclude that continuum-based models and chain molecular models can be used in the study of the small deformation in most engineering applications, but chain molecular models are preferred in the study of the large deformations in most biomaterial applications. As discrimination problems, Treloar's patch and cylindrical balloon stick are tested theoretically and numerically for studying bifurcation. In the case of Treloar's patch, by using the Kearsley's equation, we show that bifurcation exists for continuum-based models but not for chain molecular models. Both models show bifurcation in the cylindrical balloon stick. Therefore, in the analysis of the bifurcation of rubber showed that its existence also depends on the constitutive model selected.

This paper proposes CORBA-based visual servoing system of humanoid robot. To effectively control the humanoid robot which is connected to network, it needs to define necessary services for visual servoing as distribution object, and realize them in the middleware. For realizing it following services should be addressed. Naming service for searching a necessary service with unique name assigned to each object, image service for supplying image obtained from stereo camera. In the experiment, we show the result of balloon tracking and bursting that the robot tracks balloons as target objects in the real time, and if a balloon stop for a certain time, then the robot bursts the balloon.
