In this paper, we first propose new texture features, BVLC (block variation of local correlation coefficients) moments, for content-based image retrieval (CBIR) and then present an image retrieval method based on the fusion of BDIP and BVLC moments. BDIP uses the local probabilities in image blocks to extract valley and edges well. BVLC uses the variations of local correlation coefficients in images blocks to measure texture smoothness well. In order not to be affected with the movement, rotation, and size of an object, the first and second moments of BDIP and BVLC are used for CBIR. Corel DB and Vistex DB are used to evaluate the performance of the proposed retrieval method. Experimental results show that the presented retrieval method yields average 12% better performance than the method using only BDIP or BVLC moments and average 13% better performance than the method using wavelet moments.

To extract time-varying evoked potential (EP), segement latency corrected average method is presented. This method is composed of three steps. First, adaptive filtering for reducing the effect of artifacts and removing background noise is performed. Next, validated intervals of individual segments are aligned, and latency components are detected by cross-correlation between the previously obtained and measured EPs within the intervals. Finally, after the detected latency component, responses of segments are groupe and averaged, the shole corrected EP signal is obtained. In the experiments, the resutls of the conventional methods including simple averaging, Woody's method, and peak component latency corrected averaging are obtained, the results compared with the present method for evaluating performance. Therefore, the presented method confirms that it reflects the latency variations of fundamental peaks and gets the improved EP.

This paper presents a new method for generating smooth free-form surface by local correction. B-spline surface is used for its convenience of local correction, and the direction of surface correction is fixed to the average-surface-normal direction. The surface to be corrected is approximated into a uniform cubic B-spline surface. Then, the smoothness (curvature arrows, iso-parametric lines) of the approximated surface is displayed with B-spline control points. When a control point near the region that needs correction is selected, a new point 1 mm higher than the original control point in the direction of the average surface normal is displayed. And the surface is corrected by giving the amount of control point movement interactively. Since the direction of correction is given by the program and the amount of correction is selected by the user, the method is called semiautomatic. sufficiently smooth surface can be obtained by this method. Examples are given to illustrate the method.

This paper proposes a method to estimate the flow speed of pedestrians in surveillance videos. In the proposed method, the average moving speed of pedestrians is measured by estimating the size of real-world motion from the observed motion vectors. For this purpose, pixel-to-meter conversion factors are calculated from camera geometry. Also, the height information, which is missing because of camera projection, is predicted statistically from simulation experiments. Compared to the previous works for flow speed estimation, our method can be applied to various camera views because it separates scene parameters explicitly. Experiments are performed on both simulation image sequences and real video. In the experiments on simulation videos, the proposed method estimated the flow speed with average error of about 0.1m/s. The proposed method also showed a promising result for the real video.

Instantaneous following PWM control technique is pulsed nonlinear dynamic control method. This new control technique using analog integrator is proposed to control the duty ratio D of DC-DC converter. In this control method, the duty ratio of a switch is exactly equal to or proportional to the control reference in the steady state or in a transient. Proposed control method compensates power source perturbation in one switching cycle, and the average value of the dynamic reference in one switching cycle. There is no steady state error nor dynamic error between the control reference and the average value of the switched variable. Experiments with buck converter have demonstrated the robustness of the control method and verified theoretical prediction. The control method is very general and applicable to all type PWM.

This study was carried out to examine application of surface adiabatic curing method in slightly cold weathering period. So, early aged freezing damage and compressive strength of concrete were examined through temperature analysis of construction concrete. Temperature analysis was carried out according to the average temperature, concrete placement completion time and surface adiabatic curing method. Analysis results show that additional curing plans are demanded in concrete construction below 0$^{circ}C$, surface adiabatic curing method is could apply in the average temperature more than -2$^{circ}C$ and curing method as heating are needed under -2$^{circ}C$.

In the area of speech processing, raw signals used to be presented in 2D format and different kinds of algorithms use the format to solve their problems. However, such kinds of presentation methods have limitations to extract characteristics from the signal, even though the algorithms are quiet good. The basic reason is that not much information can be detected from the 2D signal. Strange attractor in the field of chaos theory provides the 3D presentation method. In the area of the recognition problem, signal construction method is very important because good features can be detected from a good shape of attractors. This paper discusses a new presentation method that can be used to construct strange attractor in a different way. Normal strange attractor uses time-delay idea while the new method uses time-delay and vector average. This method provides us good information to be applied to speaker recognition problem.

This research features a method that quantitatively evaluates the performance of edge detection algorithms. Contrary to conventional methods that evaluate the performance of edge detection as a function of the amount of noise added to he input image, the proposed method is capable of assessing the performance of edge detection algorithms based on chosen parameters that influence the performance of edge detection. We have proposed a quantitative measure, called average performance index, that compares the average performance of different edge detection algorithms. We have applied the method to the commonly used edge detectors, Sobel, LOG(Laplacian of Gaussian), and Canny edge detectors for noisy images that contain straight line edges and curved line edges. Two kinds of noises i.e, Gaussian and impulse noises, are used. Experimental results show that our method of quantitatively evaluating the performance of edge detection algorithms can facilitate the selection of the optimal dge detection algorithm for a given task.

The Bank of Korea changed its method of GDP estimation from a fixed-weighted to a chain-weighted measure in 2009. The fixed-weighted method had had problems such as substitution bias and the rewriting of economic history. As a result of the change, annual growth rates calculated using the chain-weighted method from 1970 through 2008 turned out to be 0.8%p higher on average than the existing rates. The quarterly average chain-weighted growth rates were 0.19%p higher than the fixed-weighted ones, but they changed in the same directions. In this paper we analyze whether the differences in rates between the two calculation methods would bring about a difference in the cyclical characteristics of GDP. We conclude that although there were differences in growth rates after introduction of the chain-weighted method, there was no difference in the cyclical fluctuation.
