Traditional casting methods require long production lead time and high cost while not accommodating design changes easily. One of the technological alternatives to improve casting method to meet diversifying needs is Additive Manufacturing (AM). Among the 7 AM techniques, Powder Bed Fusion (PBF) is deemed most appropriate for casting applications. Currently, most AM machines are imported; therefore limiting the scope of available services and applications. This paper explores the domestic development of AM machines as well as the applications in casting. Each chapter describes development phases of PBF machines, applicable materials and parameter settings, while the last chapter illustrates a successful case of additive manufacturing industrial casting cores.

In recent years, new technologies such as additive manufacturing have been applied to casting industry, paving new ways to achieve what have traditionally been impossible. In the global market, numerous successful cases of producing cores using additive manufacturing technology have been reported, and new techniques and markets are being developed under governments' support. In Korea, however; cases of applying additive manufacturing to casting are hard to come by, not to mention domestic AM machines and related technologies. Under these circumstances, introduction of additive manufacturing technologies and customized application to domestic casting industry are required. Each chapter of this paper explores topics ranging from the development of AM machine using binder jetting technology among various AM techniques through producing industrial cores to the on-site applications in the foundries.

포인트 클라우드 데이터는 자율 주행 기술, 가상 현실 및 증강 현실에서 사용될 3차원 미디어 중 하나로 각광 받고 있다. 국제 표준화 기구인 MPEG(Moving Picture Expert Group)에서는 포인트 클라우드 데이터의 효율적인 압축을 위해 G-PCC(Geometry-based Point Cloud Compression) 및 V-PCC(Video-based Point Cloud Compression)의 표준화를 진행 중에 있다. 그 중, G-PCC는 본래 단일 프레임의 압축을 수행하는 정지 영상 압축 방식이지만, LiDAR(Light Detection And Ranging) 센서를 통해 획득된 동적 포인트 클라우드 프레임에 대한 압축의 필요성이 대두됨에 따라 G-PCC 그룹에서는 Inter-EM(Exploratory Model)을 신설하여 LiDAR 포인트 클라우드 프레임의 압축에 관한 연구를 시작하였다. Inter-EM의 압축 비트스트림은 G-PCC 비트스트림과 마찬가지로 효과적인 전송 및 소비를 위해 미디어 저장 포맷인 ISOBMFF(ISO-based Media File Format)으로 캡슐화될 수 있다. 이때, 포인트 클라우드 프레임들은 자율 주행 등의 서비스에 사용하기 위해 시간 도메인뿐만 아니라 공간 도메인을 기반으로도 소비될 수 있어야 하지만, 공간 도메인을 기반으로 콘텐츠를 임의 접근하여 소비하는 방식은 기존 2D 영상의 시간 도메인 기반 소비방식과 차이로 인해 기존에 논의된 G-PCC 캡슐화 방안만으로는 지원이 제한된다. 이에, 본 논문에서는 G-PCC 콘텐츠를 공간 도메인에 따라 소비하기 위한 ISOBMFF 캡슐화 방안에 대한 파일 포맷을 제안하고자 한다.

현재, 극장 사운드를 중심으로 객체기반 오디오 기술을 포함하는 하이브리드 포맷의 사운드 서비스가 점차 확산되고 있으며, 미국, 유럽, 한국 등에서는 차세대 방송용 오디오에 객체기반 오디오 기술의 도입을 적극적으로 고려하고 있다. 객체기반 오디오 기술은 콘텐츠의 제작단계에서 재생환경을 고려할 필요가 없고, 현장의 음향을 신호와 3차원 공간정보로 구분하여 음향공간의 정보를 그대로 표현함으로써, 재생단말에서 3차원 공간정보를 활용하여 재생할 수 있게 한다. 이러한 객체기반 실감음향 기술개발을 위해서는 편리한 제작 및 3차원 공간정보 표현 기술이 필요하며, 청취환경에서는 객체기반 실감음향 콘텐츠를 제작자의 의도대로 렌더링할 수 있는 재생 및 제어 기술이 필요하다. 이에 객체기반 실감음향 기술이 포함되는 하이브리드 오디오 기술의 현황에 대하여 살펴보고자 한다.

Recently, the data image processing has been applied to a variety of fields including broadcasting, communication, computer graphics, medicine, and so on. Generally, the image data may develop the noise during their transmission. Therefore, the studies have been actively conducted to remove the noise on the image. There are diverse types of noise on the image including salt and pepper noise, AWGN, and mixed noise. Hence, the filter algorithm for the image recovery was proposed that salt and pepper noise was processed by histogram and spatial weighted values after defining the noise to lessen the impact of mixed noise added in the image, and AWGN was processed by the pixel information of local mask establishing the weighted values in this study. Regarding the processed results by applying Lena images which were corrupted by salt and pepper noise(P=50%) and AWGN(${\sigma}=10$), suggested algorithm showed the improvement by 7.06[dB], 10.90[dB], 5.97[dB] respectively compared with the existing CWMF, A-TMF, AWMF.

In this paper, we studied a design method for a broadband quasi-Yagi antenna (QYA) for terrestrial digital television (DTV) reception. The proposed antenna is composed of a dipole driver, a rectangular patch type director close to the dipole, and a ground reflector printed on an FR4 substrate. A balun between a microstrip line and a coplanar strip (CPS) line is a rectangular patch inserted along the center of the CPS. The end of the balun is connected to the CPS line through a shorting pin. An antenna, as an design example for the proposed antenna, is designed for the operation in the frequency band of 470-806 MHz for terrestrial DTV, and the characteristics of the designed antenna are examined. The antenna has a good performance such as a frequency band of 430-842 MHz for a voltage standing wave ratio < 2, a gain > 3.7 dBi, and a front-to-back ratio > 7.4 dB.

When a virtual sound source for 3D auditory system is reproduced by a linear loudspeaker array, listeners can perceive not only the direction of the source, but also its distance. Control over perceived distance has often been implemented via the adjustment of various acoustic parameters, such as loudness, spectrum change, and the direct-to-reverberant energy ratio; however, there is a neglected yet powerful cue to the distance of a nearby virtual sound source that can be manipulated for sources that are positioned away from the listener's median plane. This paper address the problem of generating binaural signals for moving sources in closed or in open environments. The proposed perceptual enhancement algorithm composed of three main parts is developed: propagation, reverberation and the effect of the head, torso and pinna. For propagation the effect of attenuation due to distance and molecular air-absorption is considered. Related to the interaction of sounds with the environment, especially in closed environments is reverberation. The effects of the head, torso and pinna on signals that arrive at the listener are also objectives of the consideration. The set of HRTF that have been used to simulate the virtual sound source environment for 3D auditory system. Special attention has been given to the modelling and interpolation of HRTFs for the generation of new transfer functions and definition of trajectories, definition of closed environment, etc. also be considered for their inclusion in the program to achieve realistic binaural renderings. The evaluation is implemented in MATLAB.

In this paper, we study on aerial objects detection and position estimation algorithm for the safety of UAV that flight in BVLOS. We use the vision sensor and LiDAR to detect objects. We use YOLOv2 architecture based on CNN to detect objects on a 2D image. Additionally we use a clustering method to detect objects on point cloud data acquired from LiDAR. When a single sensor used, detection rate can be degraded in a specific situation depending on the characteristics of sensor. If the result of the detection algorithm using a single sensor is absent or false, we need to complement the detection accuracy. In order to complement the accuracy of detection algorithm based on a single sensor, we use the Kalman filter. And we fused the results of a single sensor to improve detection accuracy. We estimate the 3D position of the object using the pixel position of the object and distance measured to LiDAR. We verified the performance of proposed fusion algorithm by performing the simulation using the Gazebo simulator.
