An aerodynamic design optimization system for three-dimensional wing was developed as a part of the future MDO framework. The present design optimization system includes four modules such as geometry design, grid generation, flow solver and optimizer. All modules were based on commercial softwares and programmed to have automated execution capability in batch mode utilizing built-in script and journaling. The integration of all modules into the system was accomplished through programming using Visual Basic language. The distributed computational environment based on network communication was established to save computational time especially for time-consuming aerodynamic analyses. The distributed aerodynamic computations were performed in conjunction with the global optimization algorithm of response surface method, instead of using usual parallel computation based on domain decomposition. The application of the design system in the drag minimization problem demonstrated considerably enhanced efficiency of the design process while the final design showed reasonable results of reduced drag.

현재 단대단(End-to-End) 비디오 서비스의 질을 높이기 위해 많은 연구가 각 계층별로 진행되고 있다. 전송계층에서의 오류 제어(Error Control), 네트워크계층에서의 QoS (Quality of Service)모델, 표현 및 응용계층에서의 오류 강인성(Error resilience)/오류 은닉(Error concealment) 등이 연구 개발되고 있다. 그러나 계층 간의 연관성이 높은 부분에서의 통합을 통한 성능향상에 관한 연구는 그 필요성과 효율에 비해 아직도 미흡하다. 본 논문은 QoS 서비스 모델하에서의 적응적 FEC(Forward Error Correction) 적용 및 우선순위에 따른 비디오패킷(VP ,VideoPacket)을 통하여 효율적인 계층화 비디오 스트리밍을 단대단 QoS성능의 향상에 관점을 맞추어 제안한다. 제안하는 방식은 최소 화질 보장과 같은 효율에서 보다 적은 가격에서의 서비스를 제공할 수 있다. 이를 위하여 통합형 서비스(IntServ, IS, Integrated Service) 의 자원예약을 사용하는 방법과 높은 가격의 자원 예약을 사용하지 않는 차별화 서비스(DiffServ, DS, Differentiated Service)를 적용했으며 이에 보장형 서비스의 특징을 공통을 가지기 위해 계층화 FEC를 적용하였으며 적절한 가격의 조절을 위하여 비디오패킷을 통한 데이터 분할을 적용하였다. 본 논문은 또한 최종 사용자의 만족도를 PSNR(Picture Signal to Noise Ration)과 PSNR에서 표현하지 못하는 부분의 평가를 위해 손상프레임율(DFR, Damaged Frame Ratio)과 오류프레임율(EFR,Error Frame Ratio)을 제안 이를 통해 평가하고자 한다. 제안하는 방식의 실험 결과는 비디오 코딩계층과 전송 계층, 네트워크 계층의 결합된 성능이며 이는 또한 화질의 개선뿐만 아니라 사용자의 가격문제에 대하여서도 비교 분석하였다.

A fabricated hybrid control board using multi-communication is designed with a low power 8-bit microcontroller, ATxmega128A1. The microcontroller consists of 8 UART (Universal asynchronous receiver/transmitter) ports, 2 kbytes EEPROM, 128 kbytes flash memory, 8 kbytes SRAM. The 8 URAT ports are used for a multi-communication modem, a GPS module, etc. The EEPROM is used for saving a configuration for running programs, and the flash memory of 128 kbytes is used for storing a F/W (Firm Ware), and the 8 kbytes SRAM is used for stack and for storing memory of global variables while running programs. If we use the multi-communication of CDMA, TRS and RF to remotely control Aid to Navigation, it is able to remove the communication shadow area. Even though there is a shadow area for an individual communication method, we can select an optimal communication method. The compatibility of data has been enhanced as using of same data frame per communication device. For the test, 8640 of data have been collected from each buoy during 30 days in every 5 minutes and the receiving rate of the data has shown more than 85 %.

This paper analysis the STDMA protocol in aviation wireless data communications and carry out the performance analysis with simulation. The STDMA protocol that is currently being used in VDL Mode-4 has TDMA system characteristics, which provides time-division into several slots per one frame. The results of modeled STDMA protocol's data channel analysis show approximate 0.7 channel throughput at the transmission probabilities 0.045, 0.2, and 0.3 in the aspects of channel throughput. The delay time are 2.32434sec, 2.0293sec, and 2.12128sec respectively. These results shows the good stability in spite of variable transmission probabilities. Consequently, it is expected that STDMA protocol would be used properly for domestic communication demands and supervision system improvement by means of applying this to point-to-point communication and data/location broadcasting as a fundamental technology in CNS/ATM.

Similarity matching in video database is of growing importance in many new applications such as video clustering and digital video libraries. In order to provide efficient access to relevant data in large databases, there have been many research efforts in video indexing with diverse spatial and temporal features. however, most of the previous works relied on sequential matching methods or memory-based inverted file techniques, thus making them unsuitable for a large volume of video databases. In order to resolve this problem, this paper proposes an effective and scalable indexing technique using a trie, originally proposed for string matching, as an index structure. For building an index, we convert each frame into a symbol sequence using a window order heuristic and build a disk-resident trie from a set of symbol sequences. For query processing, we perform a depth-first search on the trie and execute a temporal segmentation. To verify the superiority of our approach, we perform several experiments with real and synthetic data sets. The results reveal that our approach consistently outperforms the sequential scan method, and the performance gain is maintained even with a large volume of video databases.

In this paper, we propose a flame detection method using Haar wavelet and moving averages in outdoor infrared video sequences. Our proposed method is composed of three steps which are Haar wavelet decomposition, flame candidates detection, and their tracking and flame classification. In Haar wavelet decomposition, each frame is decomposed into 4 sub- images(LL, LH, HL, HH), and also computed high frequency energy components using LH, HL, and HH. In flame candidates detection, we compute a binary image by thresholding in LL sub-image and apply morphology operations to the binary image to remove noises. After finding initial boundaries, final candidate regions are extracted using expanding initial boundary regions to their neighborhoods. In tracking and flame classification, features of region size and high frequency energy are calculated from candidate regions and tracked using queues, and we classify whether the tracked regions are flames by temporal changes of moving averages.

In this paper, we develop face and hand tracking for sign language recognition system. The system is divided into two stages; the initial and tracking stages. In initial stage, we use the skin feature to localize face and hands of signer. The ellipse model on CbCr space is constructed and used to detect skin color. After the skin regions have been segmented, face and hand blobs are defined by using size and facial feature with the assumption that the movement of face is less than that of hands in this signing scenario. In tracking stage, the motion estimation is applied only hand blobs, in which first and second derivative are used to compute the position of prediction of hands. We observed that there are errors in the value of tracking position between two consecutive frames in which velocity has changed abruptly. To improve the tracking performance, our proposed algorithm compensates the error of tracking position by using adaptive search area to re-compute the hand blobs. The experimental results indicate that our proposed method is able to decrease the prediction error up to 96.87% with negligible increase in computational complexity of up to 4%.

In this paper, we propose a 3D conversion algorithm of 2D video using depth layer partition method. In the proposed algorithm, we first set frame groups using cut detection algorithm. Each divided frame groups will reduce the possibility of error propagation in the process of motion estimation. Depth image generation is the core technique in 2D/3D conversion algorithm. Therefore, we use two depth map generation algorithms. In the first, segmentation and motion information are used, and in the other, edge directional histogram is used. After applying depth layer partition algorithm which separates objects(foreground) and the background from the original image, the extracted two depth maps are properly merged. Through experiments, we verify that the proposed algorithm generates reliable depth map and good conversion results.

In the field of finance, Trading System of Securities is a very vulnerable application when it faces any small problems just for one minute. Since Trading System changes its environment from mainframes to client/server, its safety becomes the most important factor. Even though most If systems are configured by general guidelines currently, Trading System is an exception that it is configured by specific and rather ad hoc guidelines in order to ensure its safe management. In this thesis, I will prove the validity of specific and ad hoc configuration in the environment of Trading Systems where I use both XA interface system and Non-XA interface to configure its system based on 3-Tier Client/server computing environment through middleware, TP-Monitor, in the X/Open DTP Model. In order to validate the Trading System, I will compare and analyze the error of data of an order and ability to restore using both XA and Non-XA interfaces while testing take-over scenario on the assumption of the system's failure.

In LED chip packaging, die bonding is a very important process which fixes the LED chip on the lead flame to provide enough strength for the next process. During the process, inspection processes are very important to detect exact locations of dispensed epoxy dots and to determine bonding status of dies whether they are lies at exact positions with sufficient bonding strength. In this study, a useful machine vision based inspection system is proposed for the LED die bonder. In the proposed system, 2 cameras are used for epoxy dot position detection and 2 cameras are sued for die attaching status determination. New vision processing algorithm is proposed, and its efficiency is verified through required field experiments. Measured position error is less than $X:-29{\mu}m$, $Y:-32{\mu}m$ and rotation error:$3^{\circ}$ using proposed vision algorithm. It is concluded that the proposed machine vision based inspection system can be successfully implemented on the developed die bonding system.
