General method for correcting the distortion caused by the characteristic of the fish-eye lens may be classified in two ways. The first method is a calibration method using a mathematical model taking into account the characteristics of the lens, the second method is a method using only the distortion correction image, regardless of the lens. When considering the characteristics of the lens, calibration equation can be calculated geometrically from the relationship between the three-dimensional real-world coordinates and two-dimensional image coordinates and the parameters of lens. However, it is not suitable for ellipsoid type lens, because of existing research papers have been corrected on the spherical-type fisheye lens. In this paper, we propose a method for correcting geometrically using fish-eye lens as an ellipsoid model. Through a calibration picture, it can be seen that the proposed method is valid.

This paper proposes a system which recommends movies using information from social network services containing personal interest and taste. Method for establishing data is as follows. The system gathers movies' information from web sites and user's information from social network services such as Facebook and twitter. The data from social network services is categorized into six steps of emotion level for more accurate processing following users' emotional states. Gathered data will be established into vector space model which is ideal for analyzing and deducing the information with the system which is suggested in this paper. The existing similarity measurement method for movie recommendation is presentation of vector information about emotion level and similarity measuring method on the coordinates using Cosine measure. The deducing method suggested in this paper is two-phase arithmetic operation as follows. First, using general cosine measurement, the system establishes movies list. Second, using similarity measurement, system decides recommendable movie list by vector operation from the coordinates. After Comparative Experimental Study on the previous recommendation systems and new one, it turned out the new system from this study is more helpful than existing systems.

This paper presents a new watermarking scheme that is robust against geometrical attacks such as translation and rotation. The proposed method is based on the conventional PSADT(Polar Coordinates Shape Adaptive Discrete Transform) method which is an robust watermarking scheme for an arbitrarily-shaped image such as character images. The PSADT method shows perfect robustness against geometrical attack if there is no change in the shape of the image object. However, it cannot be utilized to watermark general rectangular images because of the missing alignment between the watermarked signals in the embedding and extracting side. To overcome this problem we propose a new watermarking scheme that aligns the watermark signal using the image inherent feature, especially corner. Namely the proposed method decides a consistent target region whose shape and position isn't changed by any malicious attack and then embeds the watermark in it using the PSADT method. Experimental results show the robustness of the proposed method against geometrical attacks as well as image compression.

Background: This study aimed to investigate the relationship between pharyngeal morphology and the success or failure of blind nasotracheal intubation using standard lateral cephalometric radiography and to analyze the measurement items affecting the difficulty of blind nasotracheal intubation. Methods: Assuming a line perpendicular to the Frankfort horizontal (FH) plane, the reference point (O) was selected 1 cm above the posterior-most end of the hard palate. A line passing through the reference point and parallel to the FH plane is defined as the X-axis, and a line passing through the reference point and perpendicular to the X-axis is defined as the Y-axis. The shortest length between the tip of the uvula and posterior pharyngeal wall (AW), shortest length between the base of the tongue and posterior pharyngeal wall (BW), and width of the glottis (CW) were measured. The midpoints of the lines representing each width are defined as points A, B, and C, and the X and Y coordinates of each point are obtained (AX, BX, CX, AY, BY, and CY). For each measurement, a t-test was performed to compare the tracheal intubation success and failure groups. A binomial logistic regression analysis was performed using clinically relevant items. Results: The items significantly affecting the success rate of blind nasotracheal intubation included the difference in X coordinates at points A and C (Odds ratio, 0.714; P-value, 0.024) and the ∠ABC (Odds ratio, 1.178; P-value, 0.016). Conclusion: Using binomial logistic regression analysis, we observed statistically significant differences in AX-CX and ∠ABC between the success group and the failure group.

In this paper structural analysis of nonhomogeneous nanotubes has been carried out using nonlocal elasticity theory. Governing differential equations of nonhomogeneous nanotubes are derived. Nanotubes include both single wall nanotube (SWNT) and double wall nanotube (DWNT). Nonlocal theory of elasticity has been employed to include the scale effect of the nanotubes. Nonlocal parameter, elastic modulus, density and diameter of the cross section are assumed to be functions of spatial coordinates. General Differential Quadrature (GDQ) method has been employed to solve the governing differential equations of the nanotubes. Various boundary conditions have been applied to the nanotubes. Present results considering nonlocal theory are in good agreement with the results available in the literature. Effect of variation of various geometrical and material parameters on the structural response of the nonhomogeneous nanotubes has been investigated. Present results of the nonhomogeneous nanotubes are useful in the design of the nanotubes.

The present paper shows a new non-tensorial approach to derive basic equations for various structural analyses. It can be used directly in numerical computation procedures. The aim of the paper is, however, to show that the approach serves as an excellent tool for analytical purposes also, working as a link between analytical and numerical techniques. The paper gives a method to derive, at first, expressions for strains in general beam and shell analyses, and secondly, the governing equilibrium equations. The approach is based on the utilization of local fixed Cartesian coordinate systems. Applying these, all the definitions required are the simple basic ones, well-known from the analyses in common global coordinates. In addition, the familiar principle of virtual work has been adopted. The method will be, apparently, most powerful in teaching the theories of curved beam and shell structures for students not familiar with tensor analysis. The final results obtained have no novelty value in themselves, but the procedure developed opens through its systematic and graphic progress a new standpoint to theoretical considerations.

A bond graph modeling approach which is equivalent to a finite element method is formulated in the case of the piezoelectric thickness vibrator. This formulation suggests a new definition of the generalized displacements for a continuous system as well as the piezoelectric thickness vibrator. The newly defined coordinates are illustrated to be easily interpreted physically and easily used in analysis of the system performance. Compared to the Mason equivalent circuit model, the bond graph model offers the primary advantage of physical realizability. Compared to circuit models based on standard discrete electrical elements, the main advantage of the bond graph model is a greater physical accuracy because of the use of multiport energic elements. While results are presented here for the thickness vibrator, the modeling method presented is general in scope and can be applied to arbitrary physical systems.

As nonholonomic dynamic systems have constraints imposed on motions that are not integrable, i.e., the constraints cannot be written as time derivatives of some functions of generalized coordinates, advanced techniques are needed for their control. In this paper, a sliding mode tracking control for nonholonomic dynamic systems is proposed. By introducing a general scheme of coordinate transformation, the state of nonholonomic systems is mapped into a bounded space and a robust controller for dynamic models of nonholonomic systems with input disturbances is designed using sliding mode control scheme. Simulation results of tacking control for a nonholonomic mobile robot with two actuated wheels are provided to show the effectiveness of the proposed controller.

Recently, 3D structure recovery through self-calibration of camera has been actively researched. Traditional calibration algorithm requires known 3D coordinates of the control points while self-calibration only requires the corresponding points of images, thus it has more flexibility in real application. In general, self-calibration algorithm results in the nonlinear optimization problem using constraints from the intrinsic parameters of the camera. Thus, it requires initial value for the nonlinear minimization. Traditional approaches get the initial values assuming they have the same intrinsic parameters while they are dealing with the situation where the intrinsic parameters of the camera may change. In this paper, we propose new initialization method using the minimum 2 images. Proposed method is based on the assumption that the least violation of the camera’s intrinsic parameter gives more stable initial value. Synthetic and real experiment shows this result.

According to the Rayleigh-Ritz approximation method, a solution can be represented as a finite series consisting of space-dependent functions, which satisfy all the geometric boundary conditions of the problem and appropriate smoothness requirement in the interior of the domain. In this paper, an efficient formulation for solving structural dynamics systems in frequency domain is presented. A general procedure called Ritz modes (or vectors) generation algorithm is used to generate the admissible functions, i.e. Ritz modes, Then, the use of direct superposition of the Ritz modes is utilized to reduce the size of the problem in spatial dimension via geometric coordinates projection. For the reduced system, the frequency domain approach is applied. Finally, a numerical example is presented to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed method.
