Mechanical parts are often grouped into part families based on the similarity of their shapes, to support efficient manufacturing process planning and design modification. The 2-part sequence papers present similarity assessment techniques to support part family classification for machined parts. These exploit the multiple feature decompositions obtained by the feature recognition method using convex decomposition. Convex decomposition provides a hierarchical volumetric representation of a part, organized in an outside-in hierarchy. It provides local accessibility directions, which supports abstract and qualitative similarity assessment. It is converted to a Form Feature Decomposition (FFD), which represents a part using form features intrinsic to the shape of the part. This supports abstract and qualitative similarity assessment using positive feature volumes. FFD is converted to Negative Feature Decomposition (NFD), which represents a part as a base component and negative machining features. This supports a detailed, quantitative similarity assessment technique that measures the similarity between machined parts and associated machining processes implied by two parts' NFDs. Features of the NFD are organized into branch groups to capture the NFD hierarchy and feature interrelations. Branch groups of two parts' NFDs are matched to obtain pairs, and then features within each pair of branch groups are compared, exploiting feature type, size, machining direction, and other information relevant to machining processes. This paper, the first one of the two companion papers, describes the similarity assessment methods using convex decomposition and FFD.

In this paper, a model of neural circuit was proposed, which abstracts the depth information in two images gotten from right and left retinas. The proposed neural circuit corresponds to binocular stereo vision based on psychologic and physiological knowledge, and we examine a restoration method of three-dimensional surface. In case of drawing a disparity based on characteristics of images, we can not abstract the depth information correctly if resemblant characteristics are repeated on the boundary region of an object. A binocular disparity is decided in a model of neural circuit by abstraction, synthesis, and correction of a disparity. And we propose a method which restores three-dimensional shape by correcting a depth information, and also restores a three-dimensional surface by mapping a left input image on the restored three-dimensional shape. And we confirmed that the computation time for disparity abstraction can be greatly reduced through the simulation.

The paper presents a feature recognition and segmentation method for surface approximation in reverse engineering. Efficient digitizing plays an important role in constructing a computational surface model from a physical part-surface without its CAD model on hand. Depending on its measuring source (e.g., touch probe or structured light), each digitizing method has its own strengths and weaknesses in terms of speed and accuracy. The final goal of the research focuses on an integration of two different digitizing methods: measuring by the structured light and that by the touch probe. Gathering bulk of digitized points (j.e., cloud-of-points) by use of a laser scanning system, we construct a coarse surface model directly from the cloud-of-points, followed by the segmentation process where we utilize the z-map filleting & differencing to trace out feature boundary curves. The feature boundary curves and the approximate surface model could be inputs to further digitizing by a scanning touch probe. Finally, more accurate measuring points within the boundary curves can be obtained to construct a finer surface model.

선형전동기(linear motor)는 일반 회전형 모터에 비해 직선 구동력을 직접 발생시키는 특유의 장점이 있으므로 직선 구동력이 필요한 시스템에서 회전형에 비해 절대적으로 우세하다. 선형전동기의 성능인 추력을 스테이터, 코어, 영구자석 등의 구성요소의 형상과 치수, 코어와 영구자석의 극간격, 공극, 코일의 권수에 따라서 결정된다. 본 논문에서 제안한 2kW급 단상 구동형 횡자속 선형전동기는 압축기 제작에 필요한 직경 50mm, 구동 스트로크 18mm로 설계하였다. 또한 pole pitch가 20mm로 설계하였으며 요구되는 평균추력은 940N이다. 제작된 압축기의 특징은 고정자와 이동자가 맞닿는 flux path를 넓히기 위해서 최대한 경사진 각도의 형상으로 제작하였으며 경사의 각도가 커지면 커질수록 압축기로 구동하는 이동자와 고정된 부위사이에서 발생하는 흡인력이 상쇄되는 구조이기 때문에 진동의 원인으로 가장 크게 작용한다는 디텐트력이 작다는 것이 특징이며, 진동특성 등에 유리한 것으로 판단된다.

Recent three-dimensional feature-based CAD systems based on solid or non-manifold modelling functionality have been widely used for product design in manufacturing companies. When product models associated with features are used in various downstream applications such as analysis, however, simplified and abstracted models at various levels of detail (LODs) are frequently more desirable and useful than the full detailed model. To provide multi-resolution models, the features need to be rearranged according to a criterion that measures the significance of the feature. However, if the features are rearranged, the resulting shape is possibly different from the original because union and subtraction Boolean operations are not commutative. To solve this problem, in this paper, the new concept of the effective zone of a feature is defined and identified using Boolean algebra. By introducing the effective zone, an arbitrary rearrangement of features becomes possible and arbitrary LOD criteria may be selected to suit various applications. Besides, because the effective zone of a feature is independent of the data structure of the model, the multi-resolution modelling algorithm based on the effective zone can be implemented on any 3D CAD system based on conventional solid representations as well as non-manifold topological (NMT) representations.

This paper presents a vertex-detecting of Hanguel patterns using nested contour shape. Inputed binary character patterns are transformed by distance transformation method and make a new file of transferred data by analysis of charactersitcs. A new vertex-detecting algorithm for recognizing Hanguel patterns using the two data files is proposed. This algorithm is able to reduce the projecting parts of Hanguel pattern, separate the connecting parts between different strokes, set the code number by transformed value of coorked features. It makes the output of results in order to apply the Hanguel recognition.

Even though there are some studies on the deep drawing process and process planning, little study has been done on the methodology of process planning of secondary operations of deep drawing such as 'piercins'. In this paper, first, we systematized the methodology of the process planning of secondary operations on axisymmetric cup. Second we described the development of the expert system for their CAPP For these studies, we extracted the knowledge of their process planning from experts and analysed and systemized them. To develop the expert system, rule-based reasoning paradigm is used. The shape information of manufacturing features of secondary operations are manually input to the system through SUI. The process planning results are automatically connected to AutoCAD. We believe that the systematized process knowledge and the development of the expert system for its CAPP could give lots of aids to the associated field.

본 논문에서는 비디오에서의 특징점 추적을 통해 얻은 2D 좌표를 이용한 3D 구조를 추정하는 방법과 네 점 이상의 공통점을 이용한 융합 방법을 제안한다. 영상의 각 프레임에서 공통되는 특징점을 이용하여 형상을 추정한다. 영상의 각 프레임에 대한 특징점의 추적은 Lucas-Kanade 방법을 사용하였다. 3D 좌표 추정 방법으로 개선된 직교분해기법을 사용하였다. 개선된 직교분해기법에서는 3D 좌표를 복원함과 동시에 카메라의 위치와 방향을 계산할 수 있다. 복원된 부분 데이터들은 전체를 이루는 일부분이므로, 융합을 통해 완성된 모습을 만들 수 있다. 복원된 부분 데이터들의 서로 다른 좌표계를 기준 좌표계로 변환함으로써 융합할 수 있다. 융합은 카메라의 모션에 해당하는 카메라의 위치와 방향에 의존된다. 융합 과정은 모두 선형으로 평균 0.5초 이하의 수행 속도를 보이며 융합의 오차는 평균 0.1cm 이하의 오차를 보였다.

본 논문에서는 애니메이션을 위해서 얼굴의 특징표현(Action Units)의 조합하는 방법으로 얼굴 모델링을 하기 위한 3D대응점(3D dense correspondence)을 찾는 방법을 제시한다. AUs는 표정, 감정, 발음을 나타내는 얼굴의 특징표현으로 통계적 방법인 PCA (Principle Component Analysis)를 이용하여 만들 수 있다. 이를 위해서는 우선 3D 모델상의 대응점을 찾는 것이 필수이다. 2D에서 얼굴의 주요 특징 점은 다양한 알고리즘을 이용하여 찾을 수 있지만 그것만으로 3D상의 얼굴 모델을 표현하기에는 적합하지 않다. 본 논문에서는 3D 얼굴 모델의 대응점을 찾기 위해 원기둥 좌표계 (Cylinderical Coordinates System)을 이용하여 3D 모델을 2D로 투사(Projection)시켜서 만든 2D 이미지간의 워핑(Warping) 을 통한 대응점을 찾아 역으로 3D 모델간의 대응점을 찾는다. 이것은 3D 모델 자체를 변환하는 것보다 적은 연산량으로 계산할 수 있고 본래 형상의 변형이 없다는 장점을 가지고 있다.

운전자 지원 시스템(ADAS)은 최근 지능형 자동차 분야에서 중요한 이슈로 손꼽히는 기술 중 하나이다. 이 중에서 실시간 표지판 인식 기술은 운전자 지원 시스템의 하나로 운전자의 안전과 직결될 수 있어 높은 정확성과 실시간성이 요구된다. 그동안 표지판 인식 분야는 색상과 현상을 기반으로 연구가 진행되어왔으나, 교통 표지판은 국가별로 그 특징과 형태가 각기 상이하여 적용하는데 한계가 있다. 본 논문에서는 한국의 속도제한 표지판을 실시간으로 검출하고 인식하기 위하여, 1) 영상에서 색상 특징을 이용하여 후보 영역을 검출하고, 2) 형상 정보를 분석하여 표지판의 형태를 검증하고, 3) 검출된 후보영역의 내부문자(숫자)를 분할하고 인식하는 시스템을 제안한다.
