U.S. nuclear power plant decommissioning guidelines(MARSSIM and MARLAP) are recommends to use DQOs when planning and conducting site surveys. The DQOs which is constructed in the site survey planning stage provide a way to make the best use of data. It helps we can get the important information and data to make decisions as well. From fifth to seventh steps of DQOs are the process of designing a site survey by using the collected data and information in the previous step to make reasonable and reliable decisions. The gray region that is set up during this process is defined as the range of concentrations where the consequences of type II decision errors are relatively small. The gray region can be set using DCGL and the average concentration of radionuclide in the sample collected at the survey unit. By setting up the gray region, site survey plan can be made most resource-efficient and the consequences on decision errors can be minimized. In this study, we set up the gray region by using the DCGL of Kori-1 which was derived from the previous research. In addition, we proposed a method to assess the concentration of radionuclide in samples for making decisions correctly.

In 97hu2200, the Supreme Court of Korea suggested five requirements to apply the doctrine of equivalents, i.e. identity of problem-solving principles, interchangeability, ease of interchangeability, exception of known arts and file-wrapper estoppel. There have been arguments on whether the standard of ease of interchangeability could be regarded as the same as the obviousness standard in deciding patentability. The side who thinks that they are different (hereinafter, the side of difference) considers that the standard of ease of interchangeability is narrower than the obviousness standard. This side criticizes the side who thinks that they are the same each other (hereinafter, the side of the same) on the reason that doctrine of equivalents can be overly expanded. On the other hand, 'the side of the same' argues that every accused invention having no inventive step from the perspective of the patented invention should be considered to infringe. 'The side of the same' points that if the standard of ease of interchangeability is considered as narrower than the obviousness standard, 'grey area' should exist where the patent law cannot work. The difference between the two side may cause contradictory results in the decision of infringement under the doctrine of equivalents. Because 'the side of difference' construes claims narrowly than 'the side of the same,' an accused invention in the grey area is not regarded to infringe. 'The side of the same,' however, considers the accused invention to fall into the scope of the patent under the doctrine of equivalents. This paper concludes that the standard of ease of interchangeability should be regarded as the same as the obviousness standard from the perspective of economics of innovation.

Digital images have undesired color casts due to various illumination conditions and intrinsic characteristics of cameras. Since the color casts in the images deteriorate performance of color representations, color correction is required for further analysis of images. In this paper, an algorithm for detection and removal of color casts is presented. The proposed algorithm consists of four steps: retrieving similar image using color by correlation, extraction of near neutral color regions, kernel density estimation, and removal of color casts. Ambiguities in near neutral color regions are excluded based on kernel density estimation by the color by correlation algorithm. The method determines whether there are color casts by chromaticity distributions in near neutral color regions, and removes color casts for color constancy. Experimental results suggest that the proposed method outperforms the gray world algorithm and the color by correlation algorithm.

Additive color mixture of two different background colors appeared in the afterimage of a gray circle centered on an isoluminant bichromatic background (red/green, blue/green, or blue/yellow background). The chromatic mixture still appeared in the afterimage of a gray circle on a bichromatic background at different luminance levels, and also appeared in a large test field. The saturation of the induced color was observed to increase as the overall luminance of adaptation background stimulus increase of the size of test field decreases. It was found that the chromatic mixture does not appear with a chromatic or achromatic boundary inserted on the center of the test field. The boundary seems to prevent the induced color on each side of test field from spreading to the other side so that the induced color does not appear mixed but divided into two different colors. Without a boundary on the test stimulus, the color information induced in the afterimage seems to be too weak to create a subjective boundary between the two colors and consequently propagate inward appearing mixed.

This study started with the awareness that domestic studies on China's maritime gray zone strategy have been following the analysis results of previous studies, and that only principled positions and directions for countermeasures remain at the 'declarative and conceptual' level. In order to overcome the above problems, the author analyzed the maritime gray zone strategy being developed in the South China Sea, East China Sea, and the West Sea and Ieodo areas, recognizing that China is developing a maritime gray area strategy based on the 'three warfare' that constitutes its own strategic culture. As a result of the analysis, it is predicted that China's maritime gray zone strategy will be more aggressive in order to occupy the West Sea and Ieodo in the future. As a concept of our naval response strategy, The author proposed to 'neutralize' the development effect of 'three warfare', the basis of China's maritime gray zone strategy, to stop the gradual change in the phenomenon induced by China, and to continuously pursue 'return' to a maritime order based on norms and rules. In this study, a 'concrete and systemized' countermeasure to implement this was presented.

In this paper, we investigate an enhancement method for Western epigraphic images, which is based on local statistics. Image data is partitioned into two regions, background and information. Statistical and functional analyses are proceeded for image modeling. The Western epigraphic images, for the most part, have shown the Gaussian distribution. It is clarified that each region can be differentiated statistically. The local normalization process algorithm is designed on this model. The parameter is extracted and it‘s properties are verified with the size of moving window. The spatial gray-level distribution is modified and regions are differentiated by adjusting parameter and the size of moving window. Local statistics are utilized for realization of the enhancement, so that difference between regions can be enhanced and noise or speckles of region can be smoothed. Experimental results are presented to show the superiority of the proposed algorithm over the conventional methods.

Segmentation of material phases through image analysis is essential for analyzing the microstructure of materials. Micro-CT images exhibit variations in grayscale values depending on the phases constituting the material. Phase segmentation is generally achieved by comparing the grayscale values in the images. In the case of waste concrete used as a recycled aggregate, it is challenging to distinguish between hydrated cement paste and natural aggregates, as these components exhibit similar grayscale values in micro-CT images. In this study, we propose a method for automatically separating the aggregates in concrete, in micro-CT images. Utilizing the Unet-VGG16 deep-learning network, we introduce a technique for segmenting the 2D aggregate images and stacking them to obtain 3D aggregate images. Image filtering is employed to separate aggregate particles from the selected 3D aggregate images. The performance of aggregate segmentation is validated through accuracy, precision, recall, and F1-score assessments.

본 논문에서는 단일 영상에 포함된 광원의 분광분포를 추정하는 광원추정 알고리즘을 제안한다. 제안된 광원 추정 방법은 두 단계로 이루어져 있다. 첫째, 변형된 회색계 가정(modified gray world assumption)을 이용하여 부분적으로 광원의 영향을 배제한 후 밝으면서도 무채색에 가까운 최대 무채색 영역을 찾아 그 영역의 표면 분광 반사율을 구한다. 이때 최대 무채색 영역의 표면 분광 반사율은 1269개의 Munsell 색 표본에 대하여 주성분 분석 방법을 이용하여 추정하였다. 둘째, 주어진 Munsell 색 표본과 대표 광원의 조합으로 반사광의 모집단을 만들었다. 다음 최대 무채색 영역의 각 화소와 반사광 모집단과의 색차를 비교하여 최대 무채색 영역과 색차가 가장 적은 반사광 표본을 선택하고 이를 최대 무채색 영역에 대한 반사광의 분광분포로 정의한다. 최종적으로 최저 무채색 영역의 반사광 분광분포를 해당하는 표면 분광반사율로 나누어줌으로써 영상에 포함된 광원의 분광분포를 추정한다. 제안한 알고리듬의 성능을 평가하기 위하여 유색 광원에 조명된 영상에 대한 광원 추정 실험을 하였으며 기존의 방법과 추정된 광원의 분광 분포 비교 및 색차 비교를 통해 그 타당성을 검증하였다.

BPA(Black Printer Algorithm)은 잉크젯 프린터에서 사용되는 C(사이안), M(마젠타), Y(옐로우) 잉크에 대한 검정(Black) 잉크의 양을 결정하는 알고리즘이다. CMY 잉크로 인쇄한 이미지의 칼라 품질은 모니터가 재생할 수는 있는 칼라 영역보다 적다. 또한 CMY 잉크를 각각 100% 씩 섞었을 때 이론적으로는 검정 색이 나와야 하나 실제는 검정 색을 정확하게 재현하지 못한다. 그래서 대부분의 프린터는 검정(K) 잉크를 기본으로 제공하며 CMY 잉크로 표현될 회색 영역의 부분을 검정 잉크로 대신 표현해 주기 때문에 프린터의 재현 영역을 확장시킬 수 있다. 또한 검정 잉크의 사용으로 인쇄품질의 색조 대비(contrast)를 증가시킬 수 있고 CMY 잉크를 검정 잉크로 대신 인쇄하기 때문에 CMY 잉크를 절약하는 효과를 얻을 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 본 잉크젯 프린터의 K(black) 잉크와 CMY(cyan, magenta, yellow) 잉크와의 관계를 살펴보았고 이 특성을 이용해 검정 잉크를 조절하는 방법 중에 하나인 3차 다항식의 BPA(Black Printer Algorithm)를 구현하였다. 결과에서는 성능 테스트에 대한 내용과 성능 향상을 위한 방법에 대해 논의하였다.

마티즈와 같은 유명한 화가들의 작품을 보면 쉐이딩 부분을 단순히 회색 톤을 이용하여 색을 칠하는 것이 아니라 표현하려고 하는 상황과 분위기에 맞추어 다양한 색을 사용하는 것을 확인해 볼 수 있다. 이렇게 다양한 색상을 이용함으로써 장면을 작가의 의도에 맞게 연출할 수 있을 뿐 아니라 풍성한 느낌을 줄 수 있다. 이는 색이 인간의 감성적이 부분을 자극할 수 있기 때문인데, 사용하는 색에 따라 사람의 느낌도 변하고 감정도 달라지기 때문에 작가들은 다양한 색의 조합으로 느낌을 표한 할 수 있는 것이다. 본 논문에서는 3차원 렌더링에서도 다양한 색으로 쉐이딩 할 수 있는 다중 층 색상 쉐이딩 기법을 제안한다. 기존의 퐁 쉐이딩 기법이나 카툰 쉐이딩 기법은 단순히 회색 톤을 이용하여 쉐이딩 처리를 한다는 문제점이 있다. 이러한 문제점을 해결하기 위해 쉐이딩 범위를 여러개로 나누고 각각의 영역에 반투명의 색을 덧칠함으로써 자연스럽고 풍부한 색의 혼합이 가능하도록 하였다. 이러한 다양한 색을 사용함으로써 3차원 렌더링에서도 다양한 장면 연출이 가능하며 느낌 표현도 할 수 있다.
