In this paper, we propose a new access method, called the HG-tree, to support indexing and retrieval by image content in large image databases. Image content is represented by a point in a multidimensional feature space. The types of queries considered are the range query and the nearest-neighbor query, both in a multidimensional space. Our goals are twofold: increasing the storage utilization and decreasing the area covered by the directory regions of the index tree. The high storage utilization and the small directory area reduce the number of nodes that have to be touched during the query processing. The first goal is achieved by absorbing splitting if possible, and when splitting is necessary, converting two nodes to three. The second goal is achieved by maintaining the area occupied by the directory region minimally on the directory nodes. We note that there is a trade-off between the two design goals, but the HG-tree is so flexible that it can control the trade-off. We present the design of our access method and associated algorithms. In addition, we report the results of a series of tests, comparing the proposed access method with the buddy-tree, which is one of the most successful point access methods for a multidimensional space. The results show the superiority of our method.

This paper proposes a feasible and effective method for measuring the mechanical-acoustic transfer function by the application of equivalent area and velocity transfer function, a manifestation of the vibro-acoustical reciprocity principle. On the contrary to the volume velocity used in traditional method, the equivalent area is a peculiar raidation characteristics of sound sources and not influenced by any input signal for driving sound source. This invariant property of equivalent area can get rid of boresome works to measure the volume velocity of a sound source every time the driving signal is changed. Moreover, this method has a remarkable advantage to use a general loudspeaker as an accoustic exciter without the assumption of point source and can be applied to all kinds of sound sources even if they are not omni-directional sources.

Environmental conservation is becoming the major conversation topic in the 21st century, the era of environment. In the Law for the Preservation of Water Quality, article 53 states "A business unit which is doing business causing pollution caused by non-point pollutant or builds waste water discharge facilities, should report the installation of the non-point pollutant and install the required pollution control facilities". Environmental pollution caused by oil leaks during operation or maintenance has been found in the railway sector. Especially, rolling stock depot is most likely to be affected by environmental pollution. Therefore, in this paper We have investigated non-point pollutant in the rolling stock depot area and have studied adequate disposal method to minimize the effect of the non-point pollutant, hoping to supply the preliminary data for building an environment-friendly rolling stock depot.

This paper describes the algorithm which can estimate road following direction and deetect obstacle using a monocular vision system. This algorithm can estimate the course of vehicle using the vanishing point properties and detect obstacle by statistical method. The proposed algorithm is composed of four steps, which are lane prediction, lane extraction, road following parameter estimation and obstacle detection. It is designed for high processing speed and high accuracy. The former is achieved by a small area named sub-windown in lane existence area, the later is realized by using connected edge points of lane. We would like to present that the new mehod can detect obstacle using the simple statistical method. The paracticalities of the processing speed, the accuracy of the algorithm and proposing obstacle detection method, have been justified through the experiment applied VTR image of the real road to the algorithm.

NGIS 사업으로 구축된 1/1,000 수치지도의 활용이 급증하면서 이를 활용하기에 앞서 수치지도의 위치정확도 검증이라는 문제가 대두되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 학교 시설물관리시스템 구축에 기반이 되는 소규모 지역에 대한 1/1,000 수치지도의 위치 정확도를 평가하고, 위치오차가 발생한 지역에 대한 수치지도 수정/갱신 방안을 제시하였다. RTK방법으로 교내 주요건물에 대한 위치오차를 평가해 볼 때, 측량관계법령에서 규정하고 있는 0.5mm 보다 크게 나타났다. 이에 대한 위치정확도 확보방안으로 먼저, 교내에 Static 측량을 실시하여 측량기준점을 선정한 후 기준점으로부터 주요건물에 대한 좌표값을 평가하여 RTK 방법으로 측량한 좌표값과 비교하였다. 두 번째로는 지도를 변환하였으며 그 결과를 RTK 측량성과와 비교하였다. 첫 번째 방법과 두 번째 방법을 검토하여 소규모 적합한 수치지도 위치정확도 확보방안을 제시하였다.

As FFT(Fast Fourier Transform) processor is used in OFDM(Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplesing) system. According to increase requirement about mobility and broadband, Research about low power and low area FFT processor is needed. So research concern in reduction of memory size and complex multiplier is in progress. Increasing points of FFT increase memory area of FFT processor. Specially, SRU(Signal Reordering Unit) has the most memory in FFT processor. In this paper, we propose a reduced method of memory size of SRU in FFT processor. SRU of 64, 1024 point FFT processor performed implementation by VerilogHDL coding and it verified by simulation. We select the APEX20KE family EP20k1000EPC672-3 device of Altera Corps. SRU implementation is performed by synthesis of Quartus Tool. The bits of data size decide by 24bits that is 12bits from real, imaginary number respectively. It is shown that, the proposed SRU of 64point and 1024point achieve more than 28%, 24% area reduction respectively.

In this paper, we propose an enhanced LiDAR-camera calibration method that extracts the marker plane from 3D point cloud information. In previous work, we estimated the straight line of each board to obtain the vertex. However, the errors in the point information in relation to the z axis were not considered. These errors are caused by the effects of user selection on the board border. Because of the nature of LiDAR, the point information is separated in the horizontal direction, causing the approximated model of the straight line to be erroneous. In the proposed work, we obtain each vertex by estimating a rectangle from a plane rather than obtaining a point from each straight line in order to obtain a vertex more precisely than the previous study. The advantage of using planes is that it is easier to select the area, and the most point information on the board is available. We demonstrated through experiments that the proposed method could be used to obtain more accurate results compared to the performance of the previous method.

The aim of this paper is to explore the 8th-order Adams-Bashforth-Moulton (ABM8) method in the solution of the point reactor kinetics equations. The numerical experiment considers feedback reactivity by Doppler effects, and insertions of reactivity. The Doppler effects is approximated with an adiabatic nuclear reactor that is a typical approximation. The numerical results were compared and discussed with several solution methods. The CATS method was used as a benchmark method. According with the numerical experiments results, the ABM8 method can be considered as one of the main solution method for changes reactivity relatively large.

This paper proposes a thermography-based coating thickness estimation method for steel structures using model-agnostic meta-learning. In the proposed method, a halogen lamp generates heat energy on the coating surface of a steel structure, and the resulting heat responses are measured using an infrared (IR) camera. The measured heat responses are then analyzed using model-agnostic meta-learning to estimate the coating thickness, which is visualized throughout the inspection surface of the steel structure. Current coating thickness estimation methods rely on point measurement and their inspection area is limited to a single point, whereas the proposed method can inspect a larger area with higher accuracy. In contrast to previous ANN-based methods, which require a large amount of data for training and validation, the proposed method can estimate the coating thickness using only 10- pixel points for each material. In addition, the proposed model has broader applicability than previous methods, allowing it to be applied to various materials after meta-training. The performance of the proposed method was validated using laboratory-scale and field tests with different coating materials; the results demonstrated that the error of the proposed method was less than 5% when estimating coating thicknesses ranging from 40 to 500 ㎛.
