목 적: 본 연구는 모양이 불규칙하고 손상위험장기(Organ At Risk, OAR)에 매우 인접한 타겟(Target)의 방사선 치료 시, 비동일평면상(Non-coplanar)의 빔(Beam)을 이용한 Fixed-field 세기변조 방사선치료(Intensity Modulated Radiation Therapy, IMRT)와 용적변조회전 방사선치료(Volumetric Modulated Arc Therapy, VMAT) 치료계획의 유용성을 평가 및 비교해 보고자 하였다. 대상 및 방법: 본원에서 True Beam STX(Varian Medical Systems, USA)를 이용하여 전체 두피(Whole Scalp), 부분적 두피(Partial Scalp), 그리고 전체 뇌실(Whole Ventricle)에 방사선 치료를 받은 환자 중 각 부위별로 2명 씩, 총 6명을 대상으로 하였다. VMAT 치료계획 시, Beamlet에 포함되는 OAR의 용적을 최소화하기 위해 Coplanar 또는 Non-coplanar 빔을 이용하였고, Fixed-field IMRT는 6명 모두 2개 이상의 카우치(Couch) 각도를 이용한 Non-coplanar IMRT(이하 ncIMRT)로 치료계획 하였다. 결 과: 양측 수정체, 양측 시신경, 시신경 교차, 그리고 뇌 줄기의 최대선량과 양측 안구와 해마의 평균선량을 측정하였고, 6명 모두 9개의 OAR 중 6개 이상에서 VMAT 치료계획이 ncIMRT보다 1.1배에서 8.2배가량 높은 선량 값을 나타내었다. 전체 두피와 부분적 두피의 치료 시, 20 Gy가 조사되는 뇌의 용적은 VMAT이 ncIMRT의 2배 이상이었고, 전체 뇌실의 치료 시에는 두 치료계획이 큰 차이를 보이지 않았다. 타겟 Coverage는 두 치료계획 모두 $PTV_{100%}=95%$를 만족시켰고, 타겟 내 최대선량과 치료 시 필요한 총 Monitor Unit(MU)은 ncIMRT가 VMAT보다 높았으며 두 치료계획 모두 임상적용을 위한 Gamma test 시행 결과, 2 mm/2 % 조건을 통과하였다. 결 론: 본 연구 결과, ncIMRT는 VMAT에 비해 치료 시 필요한 MU가 높아 치료시간과 장비의 로딩(Loading)을 증가시키므로 치료의 효율성은 다소 떨어지지만, VMAT과 비슷한 타겟 Coverage를 유지하면서, OAR의 선량은 훨씬 감소시키는 것을 알 수 있었다. 따라서 모양이 불규칙하고 OAR에 매우 인접해 있는 타겟의 방사선 치료 시에는 ncIMRT 치료계획을 고려해 볼 필요가 있다고 사료된다.

Unmanned air vehicles (UAVs) are getting popular not only as a private usage for the aerial photograph but military usage for the surveillance, reconnaissance and supply missions. For an UAV to successfully achieve these kind of missions, geolocation (localization) must be implied to track an interested target or fly by reference. In this research, we adopted multi-sensor fusion (MSF) algorithm to increase the accuracy of the geolocation and verified the algorithm using two multicopter UAVs. One UAV is equipped with an optical camera, and another UAV is equipped with an optical camera and a laser range finder. Throughout the experiment, we have obtained measurements about a fixed ground target and estimated the target position by a series of coordinate transformations and sequential Kalman filter. The result showed that the MSF has better performance in estimating target location than the case of using single sensor. Moreover, the experimental result implied that multi-sensor geolocation algorithm is able to have further improvements in localization accuracy and feasibility of other complicated applications such as moving target tracking and multiple target tracking.

Statistical process control (SPC) and engineering process control (EPC) are based on different strategies for processes quality improvement. SPC reduces process variability by detecting and eliminating special causes of process variation. while EPC reduces process variability by adjusting compensatory variables to keep the quality variable close to target. Recently there has been needs for a process control proceduce which combines the tow strategies. This paper considers a combined scheme which simultaneously applies SPC and EPC techniques to reduce the variation of a process. The process model under consideration is an integrated moving average(IMA) process with a step shift. The EPC part of the scheme adjusts the process back to target at every fixed monitoring intervals, which is referred to a repeated adjustment scheme. The SPC part of the scheme uses an exponentially weighted moving average(EWMA) of observed deviation from target to detect special causes. A Markov chain model is developed to relate the scheme's expected cost per unit time to the design parameters of he combined control scheme. The expected cost per unit time is composed of off-target cost, adjustment cost, monitoring cost, and false alarm cost.

Optimal impact angle control guidance law and its variants for intercepting a maneuvering target are introduced in this paper. The linear quadratic(LQ) optimal control theory is reviewed first to setup framework of guidance law derivation, called the sweep method. As an example, the inversely weighted time-to-go energy optimal control problem to obtain the optimal impact angle control guidance law for a fixed target is solved via the sweep method. Since this optimal guidance law is not applicable for a moving target due to the angle mismatch at the impact instant, the law is modified to three different biased proportional navigation(PN) laws: the flight path angle control law, the line-of-sight(LOS) angle control law, and the relative flight path angle control law. Effectiveness of the guidance laws are verified via numerical simulations.

본 연구에서는 P300 문자입력기의 물리적 특성에 해당하는 문자판의 시각도와 사용자의 개인적 특성에 해당하는 시선응시 방법이 P300 문자입력기의 정확도에 미치는 영향을 검증하였다. 문자판의 시각도는 사용자와 문자판 간의 거리로 조작하였으며, 60 cm 집단과 100 cm 집단, 150 cm 집단으로 구성하였다. 시선응시방법은 세 조건으로 반복측정하였다. 머리 조건은 머리를 움직여서 시선을 두는 조건이었으며, 눈동자 조건은 머리는 고정한 채 눈동자를 움직여서 시선을 두는 조건이었고, 시선고정 조건은 시선을 문자입력기의 중앙에 고정시킨 조건이었다. 이요인설계에 의한 실험결과, 문자입력의 정확도가 시선응시방법에 따라 유의한 차이가 있었다. 머리 조건의 정확도가 눈동자 조건의 정확도 보다 높았으며, 눈동자 조건의 정확도가 시선고정 조건의 정확도 보다 높았다. 그러나 문자판의 시각도와 상호작용효과는 모두 유의하지 않았다. 시선응시방법에 따라 목표문자의 P300 진폭을 측정한 결과, 머리조건의 P300이 눈동자 조건의 P300보다 더 컸다. 머리조건과 눈동자 조건 간에는 오류분포에서 큰 차이가 없었지만, 시선고정 조건은 나머지 두 조건과 큰 차이를 보였다. 머리조건과 눈동자 조건에서는 오류가 주로 목표문자와 인접한 문자에서 나타난 반면, 시선고정 조건은 오류가 상대적으로 넓게 분포하였으며, 문자판의 중심에서 멀리 떨어져 있는 문자들에서 오류가 많이 발생하였다.

In the past decade, several tools have been developed to automate the floating-point to fixed-point conversion for DSP systems. In the conversion process, a number of scaling shifts are introduced, and they inevitably alter the original code sequence. Recently, we have observed that a compiler can often be adversely affected by this alteration, and consequently fails to generate efficient machine code for its target processor. In this paper, we present an optimization technique that safely migrates scaling shifts to other places within the code so that the compiler can produce better-quality code. We consider our technique to be safe in that it does not introduce new overflows, yet preserving the original SQNR. The experiments on a commercial fixed-point DSP processor exhibit that our technique is effective enough to achieve tangible improvement on code size and speed for a set of benchmarks.

In this paper, we propose a distance measurement system for automatic berthing control using a stereo camera mounted on a rotation control device, and a radial pattern target. Automatically controlling the position and attitude of a ship aims to prevent maritime accidents due to human error. Our goal is to measure the relative distance between a ship and an onshore or offshore target for berthing. Therefore, the distance should be continuously measured while tracking a fixed point on a target. To this end, we developed a stereo camerabased distance measurement system that satisfied these requirements. This paper describes the structure and principle of the measurement system. We validate the distance error for target incline due to the relative position and attitude between a camera and a target in miniature scale. In addition, the findings of an experiment in an outdoor environment demonstrate that the proposed measurement system has accuracy within 1 m at a range of 20-100 m which is the acceptable accuracy for automatic berthing.

Automotive Radar Systems are currently under development for various applications to increase accuracy and reliability. The target tracking is most important in single or multiple target environments for accuracy. The tracking algorithm provides smoothed and predicted data for target position and velocity(Doppler). To this end, the fixed gain filter(${\alpha}{\beta}$ filter, ${\alpha}{\beta}{\gamma}$ filter) and dynamic filter(Kalman filter, Singer-Kalman filter, etc) are commonly used. Gating is used to decide whether an observation is assigned to an existing track or new track. Gating algorithms are normally based on computing a statistical error distance between an observation and prediction. The data association takes the observation-to-track pairings that satisfied gating and determines which observation-to-track assignment will actually be made. For data association, NNPDA(Nearest Neighbor Probabilistic Data Association) algorithm is proposed. In this paper, we designed a target tracking system developed for an Automotive Radar System. We show the experimental results of the 77GHz FMCW radar sensor on the roads. Four tracking algorithms(${\alpha}{\beta}$ filter, ${\alpha}{\beta}{\gamma}$ filter, 2nd order Kalman filter, Singer-Kalman filter) have been compared and analyzed to evaluate the performance in test scenario.

One of the methods to consider the effect of respiratory motion of a tumor target in radiotherapy is to establish a treatment plan with the internal target volume (ITV) created based on an accurate analysis of the target motion displacement. When this method is applied to intensity modulated radiotherapy (IMRT), it is expected to yield a different treatment dose distribution under the motion condition according to the IMRT method. In this study, we prepared ITV-based IMRT plans with conventional IMRT using fixed gantry angle beams, RapidArc using volumetric modulated arc therapy, and tomotherapy using helical therapy. Then, the variation in dose distribution caused by the target motion was analyzed by the dose measurement in the actual motion condition. A delivery quality assurance plan was prepared for the established IMRT plan and the dose distribution in the actual motion condition was measured and analyzed using a two-dimensional diode detector placed on a moving phantom capable of simulating breathing movements. The dose measurement was performed considering only a uniform target shape and motion in the superior-inferior (SI) direction. In this condition, it was confirmed that the error of the dose distribution due to the target motion is minimum in tomotherapy. This is thought to be due to the characteristic of tomotherapy that treats the target sequentially by dividing it into several slices. When the target shape is uniform and the main target motion direction is SI, it is considered that tomotherapy for the ITV-based IMRT method has a characteristic which can reduce the dose difference compared with the plan dose under the target motion condition.
