For several decades, productivity in construction industry has been regressed and it is inevitable to improve productivity for major EPC players. One of challenges to achieve this goal is automatically extracting information from imaged drawings. Although computer vision technique has been advanced rapidly, it is still a problem to detect pipe lines in a drawing. Earlier works for line detection have problems that detected line elements be broken into small pieces and accuracy of detection is not enough for engineers. Thus, we adopted Contour and Hough Transform algorithm and reinforced these to improve detection results. First, Contour algorithm is used with Ramer Douglas Peucker algorithm(RDP). Weakness of contour algorithm is that some blank spaces are occasionally found in the middle of lines and RDP covers them around 17%. Second, HEC Hough Transform algorithm, we propose on this paper, is improved version of Hough Transform. It adopted iteration of Hough Transform and merged detected lines by conventional Hough Transform based on Euclidean Distance. As a result, performance of Our proposed method improved by 30% than previous.

Most of spinal diseases are diagnosed based on the subjective judgment of a specialist, so numerous studies have been conducted to find objectivity by automating the diagnosis process using deep learning. In this paper, we propose a method that combines segmentation and feature extraction, which are frequently used techniques for diagnosing spinal diseases. Four models, U-Net, U-Net++, DeepLabv3+, and M-Net were trained and compared using 1000 X-ray images, and key-points were derived using Douglas-Peucker algorithms. For evaluation, Dice Similarity Coefficient(DSC), Intersection over Union(IoU), precision, recall, and area under precision-recall curve evaluation metrics were used and U-Net++ showed the best performance in all metrics with an average DSC of 0.9724. For the average Euclidean distance between estimated key-points and ground truth, U-Net was the best, followed by U-Net++. However the difference in average distance was about 0.1 pixels, which is not significant. The results suggest that it is possible to extract key-points based on segmentation and that it can be used to accurately diagnose various spinal diseases, including spondylolisthesis, with consistent criteria.

국제해사기구 IMO에서 추진하는 e-Navigation 전략에는 육상 사용자와 해상 사용자간에 다양한 해사안전정보의 데이터 커뮤니케이션을 위한 네트워크의 중요성에 대해 정의되어 있으며 이러한 네트워크를 통해 앞으로도 대용량, 다종류의 해양공간정보 서비스 제공이 증가할 것으로 예상된다. 그러나 현재 해양안전공간정보로 사용되고 있는 전자해도의 경우 측량 후 최종사용자에게 도달하기 까지 1년의 시간이 걸리기 때문에 보다 신속히 사용자의 요구사항을 만족시키기 위해 데이터베이스의 공간정보를 활용할 수 있도록 본 연구에서는 S-100 범용표준에서 사용하고 있는 SD 공간정보 간소화를 실시하였다. 간소화를 위해 지도 일반화 기법인 Douglas-Peucker 알고리즘을 사용하였으며 하였으며, 컨벡스 헐과 트리 노드를 이용하여 정확도를 높이고 결과물을 범용으로 사용될 수 있는 XML 형태로 저장함에 따라 나타날 수 있는 효율성 및 효과에 대해 정리하였다.

3D buildings are the most prominent feature comprising urban scene. A few of mega-cities in the globe are virtually reconstructed in photo-realistic 3D models, which becomes accessible by the public through the state-of-the-art online mapping services. A lot of research efforts have been made to develop automatic reconstruction technique of large-scale 3D building models from remotely sensed data. However, existing methods still produce irregular building polygons due to errors induced partly by uncalibrated sensor system, scene complexity and partly inappropriate sensor resolution to observed object scales. Thus, a geometric regularization technique is urgently required to rectify such irregular building polygons that are quickly captured from low sensory data. This paper aims to develop a new method for regularizing noise building outlines extracted from airborne LiDAR data, and to evaluate its performance in comparison with existing methods. These include Douglas-Peucker's polyline simplication, total least-squared adjustment, model hypothesis-verification, and rule-based rectification. Based on Minimum Description Length (MDL) principal, a new objective function, Geometric Minimum Description Length (GMDL), to regularize geometric noises is introduced to enhance the repetition of identical line directionality, regular angle transition and to minimize the number of vertices used. After generating hypothetical regularized models, a global optimum of the geometric regularity is achieved by verifying the entire solution space. A comparative evaluation of the proposed geometric regulator is conducted using both simulated and real building vectors with various levels of noise. The results show that the GMDL outperforms the selected existing algorithms at the most of noise levels.

Ship route planning is to find a route to minimize voyage time and/or fuel consumption in a given sea state. Unlike previous studies, this study proposes an optimization method for the route planning to avoid the grounding risk near the coast. The route waypoints were searched using A^* algorithm, and the route simplification was performed to remove redundant waypoints using Douglas-Peucker algorithm. The optimization was performed to minimize fuel consumption by setting the optimization design parameters to the engine rpm. The sea state factors such as wind, wave, and current are also considered for route planning. We propose the constraint to avoid ground risk by using under keel clearance obtained from electoronic navigational chart. The proposed method was applied to find the optimal route between Mokpo and Jeju. The result showed that the proposed method suggests the optimal route that minimizes fuel consumption.

Ships need to ensure safety during their navigation, which makes route determination highly important. It must be accompanied by a route following controller that can accurately follow the route. This study proposes a method for automatically generating the ship route based on deep reinforcement learning algorithm and following it using a route following controller. To generate a ship route, under keel clearance was applied to secure the ship's safety and navigation chart information was used to apply ship navigation related regulations. For the experiment, a target ship with a draft of 8.23 m was designated. The target route in this study was to depart from Busan port and arrive at the pilot boarding place of the Ulsan port. As a route following controller, a velocity type fuzzy P ID controller that could compensate for the limitation of a linear controller was applied. As a result of using the deep Q network, a route with a total distance of 62.22 km and 81 waypoints was generated. To simplify the route, the Douglas-Peucker algorithm was introduced to reduce the total distance to 55.67 m and the number of way points to 3. After that, an experiment was conducted to follow the path generated by the target ship. Experiment results revealed that the velocity type fuzzy P ID controller had less overshoot and fast settling time. In addition, it had the advantage of reducing the energy loss of the ship because the change in rudder angle was smooth. This study can be used as a basic study of route automatic generation. It suggests a method of combining ship route generation with the route following control.

Establishing a ship's passage plan is an essential step before it starts to sail. The research related to the automatic generation of ship passage plans is attracting attention because of the development of maritime autonomous surface ships. In coastal water navigation, the land, islands, and navigation rules need to be considered. From the path planning algorithm's perspective, a ship's passage planning is a global path-planning problem. Because conventional global path-planning methods such as Dijkstra and A^* are time-consuming owing to the processes such as environmental modeling, it is difficult to modify a ship's passage plan during a voyage. Therefore, the D^* algorithm was used to address these problems. The starting point was near Busan New Port, and the destination was Ulsan Port. The navigable area was designated based on a combination of the ship trajectory data and grid in the target area. The initial path plan generated using the D^* algorithm was analyzed with 33 waypoints and a total distance of 113.946 km. The final path plan was simplified using the Douglas-Peucker algorithm. It was analyzed with a total distance of 110.156 km and 10 waypoints. This is approximately 3.05% less than the total distance of the initial passage plan of the ship. This study demonstrated the feasibility of automatically generating a path plan in coastal navigation for maritime autonomous surface ships using the D^* algorithm. Using the shortest distance-based path planning algorithm, the ship's fuel consumption and sailing time can be minimized.
