Computational analysis of incompressible flows by numerically solving Navier-Stokes equations using multi-block finite volume method is conducted on a parallel computing system. Numerical algorithms adopted in this study $include^{(1)}$ QUICK upwinding scheme for convective $terms,^{(2)}$ central differencing for other terms $and^{(3)}$ the second-order Euler differencing for time-marching procedure. Structured grids are used on the body-fitted coordinate with multi-block concept which uses overlaid grids on the block-interfacing boundaries. Computational code is parallelized on the MPI environment. Numerical accuracy of the computational method is verified by solving a benchmark test case of the flow inside two-dimensional rectangular cavity. Computation in the axial compressor cascade is conducted by using 4 PE's md, as results, no numerical instabilities are observed and it is expected that the present computational method can be applied to the turbomachinery flow problems without major difficulties.

Conventional fractal image compression methods have many problems in searching time for matching domain block. Proposed method is an improved method of Fisher's Quadtree Decomposition in terms of time, compression ratio, and PSNR. This method determines range block in advance using QR algorithm. First, input image is partitioned to $4{\times}4$ range block and then recomposition is performed from bottom level to specified level. As a result, this proposed method achieves high encoding and decoding speed, high compression ratio, and high PSNR than Fisher's Quadtree Decomposition method.

In this feature article, we briefly review the new methods we have utilized recently in the investigation of morphology and phase behavior of block copolymers. We first describe the chromatographic fractionation method to purify block copolymers from their side products of mainly homopolymers or block copolymer precursors inadvertently terminated upon addition of the next monomer in the sequential anionic polymerization. The chromatographic method is extended to the fractionation of the individual block of diblock copolymers which can yield the diblock copolymer fractions of different composition and molecular weight, which also have narrower distributions in both molecular weight and composition. A more detailed phase diagram could be constructed from the set of block copolymer fractions without the need of acquiring many block copolymers each prepared by anionic polymerization. The fractions with narrow distribution in both molecular weight and composition exhibit better long-range ordering and sharper phase transition. Next, epitaxial relationships between two ordered structures in block copolymer thin film is discussed. We employed the direct visualization method, transmission electron microtomography(TEMT) to scrutinize the grain boundary structure.

본 논문은 블록 처리 방법을 기반으로 하는 링잉 노이즈 감소 알고리즘을 사용할 때, 블록 불연속 노이즈(Block Discontinuty)를 방지 할 수 있는 중첩 기 반(Overlapped Block) 연산과 Hanning Window에 관련된 것이다. 링잉 노이즈 감소 알고리즘은, 24bit RGB와 블록 기반 연산으로 하며, 수정된 K-means 알고리즘을 바탕으로 한다. 그래서 제안한 중첩 기반 연산은 입력 영상을 여러 단위 블록으로 조각낼 때, 단위 블록의 크기의 반을 중첩 시켜 선택하는 방법이다. $16{\times}16$ 픽셀 크기의 데이터 블록을 데이터 유닛(Data Unit)이 라고 정의하였다. 그 후 처리된 데이터 유닛들을 등방성 분포를 지닌 Hanning Window를 사용하여 중첩된 데이터에서 원 이미지 형태로 복원하였다. 최종적으로 언급된 알고리즘의 성능을 확인하기 위해서 링잉 노이즈를 가진 이미지를 기존 방법(비 중첩 기반 연산)과 제안한 알고리즘으로 처리함으로써 각각의 결과를 비교하였다.

In this paper, in order to reduce the blocking effect of block coded images, we propose the method considering the lowpass and bandpass components of Granrath's human visual model. This method consists of two-stage enhancement procedure. The first step is lowpass filtering which smooths out the blocking effect, and the second step is a high frequency enhancement procedure to increase the contrast decreased by the lowpass filtering in the first step. In the first step, the one-dimensional Gaussian filter which aligthns parallel to the edge direction is considered to preserve the edge in the block and the two-dimensional Gaussian filter is used to smooth out the blocking effect near the block boundaries. In the second step, the lowpass and bandpass components of the Granrath's model are considered to increase contrast in a restored image. The performance comparison of the proposed method and the existing mehtods is made by a computer simulation with several block coded images. We can see that the enhancement in the subjective quality of images of the proposed method is more significant than the enhancement in the subjective quality of images of the proposed method is more significant than the existing methods, though the proposed method does not show better performance on the PSNR gain, the poor measure of picture quality for block coded images.

The mass concrete structures are generally constructed in an incremental manner by deviding the whole structures by a series of many blocks. The temperature and stress distributions of any specific block are continuously affected by the blocks placed before and after the specific block. For an accurate analysis of mass concrete structures, the sequence of all the blocks must be accordingly considered including the change of material properties with time for those blocks considered. The purpose of this study is to propose a realistic analysis method which can take into account not only the influence of the sequence, time interval and size of concrete block placement on the temperatures and stresses, but also the change of material properties with time. It is seen from this study that the conventional simplified analysis, which neglects material property changes of some blocks with time and does not consider the effect of adjacent blocks in the analysis, may yield large discrepancies in the temperature and stress distributions of mass concrete structures. This study gives a method to choose the minimum number of blocks required to obtain reasonably accurate results in analysis. The study provides a realistic method which can determine the appropriate size and time interval of block placement, and can be efficiently used in the design and construction of mass concrete structures.

본 논문에서는 Local Binary Pattern 히스토그램의 템플릿 매칭을 이용한 얼굴 표정 인식에서 인식률을 높이는 방법을 제안한다. 이 방법에서, 주어진 얼굴 영상은 작은 크기의 블록으로 분할되고 각 블록에서 구해진 LBP 히스토그램은 블록 특징으로 사용된다. 입력 영상에서의 블록 특징과 모델의 해당블록 특징 사이에서 블록 상이도가 계산된다. 주어진 영상과 모델 영상 사이의 영상 상이도는 블록 상이도의 가중 합으로 계산된다. 기존의 방법들에서는 직관에 따른 블록 가중치를 사용하는데 본 논문에서는 블록 가중치를 트레이닝 샘플들로부터 최적화를 통해서 구하는 방법을 제안하고 있다. 실험을 통해서 제안된 방법이 기존의 방법보다 우수함을 보인다.

It is difficult that a non-translational motion in a block is estimated by the block matching algorithm (BMA). In this paper, a nodal-displacement-based deformation model is used for this reason. This model assumes that a selected number of control nodes move freely in a block and that displacement of any interior point can be interpolated from nodal displacements. As a special case with a single node this model is equivalent to a translational model. And this model can represent more complex deformation using more nodes. We used an iterative gradient based search algorithm to estimate nodal displacement. Each iteration involves the solution of a simple linear equation. This method is called the deformable block matching algorithm (DBMA).

In this paper, we propose an error concealment technique using directional interpolation in block-based image compression. In the proposed method the edge direction is determined by finding the maximum correlation coefficients of boundary pixels of blocks neighboring the errored block in spatial domain. Then the errored block is interpolated linearly or bilinearly along the determined edge direction. The proposed method can conceal the block error, the macro block error, and the slice error adaptively. Also, the parameters for the directional interpolation are represented by closed forms. When applied to compressed images, the proposed method shows superior subjective and objective quality to conventional error concealment methods.

In this study, we propose a new Fire Flame Region Extraction using Block Homogeneity Segmentation method of the Fire Image with irregular texture and various colors. It is generally assumed that fire flame extraction plays a very important role. The Color Image with fire flame is divided into blocks and edge strength for each block is computed by using modified color histogram intersection method that has been developed to differentiate object boundaries from irregular texture boundaries effectively. The block homogeneity is designed to have the higher value in the center of region with the homeogenous colors or texture while to have lower value near region boundaries. The image represented by the block homogeneity is gray scale image and watershed transformation technique is used to generate closed boundary for each region. As the watershed transform generally results in over-segmentation, region merging based on common boundary strength is followed. The proposed method can be applied quickly and effectively to the initial response of fire.
