  • A plastic has a various advantages in engineering elements that it can be formed a curve surface without restriction of shape and product the high volume with various color and lower price. Also, it is being used for many parts of automobile as the weight of cars is getting lighter. The Door A-Fuel Filler is a automobile plastic part by injection molding production. The injected products are involved a lot of factors for the inferior goods after painting. Therefore the painted products are required to have the process of the polishing in order to eliminate the faults. Now polishing process is being worked by hands. The workers tend to evade the process of polishing because the working needs a lot of powers momentarily. This paper presents the development of auto-polishing system that can check the inferior goods by the vision system and control the polishing process by the motion system. As a result, Shorten production time (30 seconds), and decreases by 1 person to work to increase the competitiveness of the production cost was to expect improvement.

  • In order to reduce the size of frame memory or bus bandwidth, frame memory compression (FMC) recompresses reconstructed or reference frames of video codecs. This paper proposes a novel FMC design based on discrete wavelet transform (DWT) - set partitioning in hierarchical trees (SPIHT), which supports fine-scalable throughput and is area-efficient. In the proposed design, multi-cores with small block sizes are used in parallel instead of a single core with a large block size. In addition, an appropriate pipelining schedule is proposed. Compared to the previous design, the proposed design achieves the processing speed which is closer to the target system speed, and therefore it is more efficient in hardware utilization. In addition, a scheme in which two passes of SPIHT are merged into one pass called merged refinement pass (MRP) is proposed. As the number of shifters decreases and the bit-width of remained shifters is reduced, the size of SPIHT hardware significantly decreases. The proposed FMC encoder and decoder designs achieve the throughputs of 4,448 and 4,000 Mpixels/s, respectively, and their gate counts are 76.5K and 107.8K. When the proposed design is applied to high efficiency video codec (HEVC), it achieves 1.96% lower average BDBR and 0.05 dB higher average BDPSNR than the previous FMC design.

  • Today, a surgery for cataract of Korean society frequently come to operation. A method for treating cataracts have been developed in various ways. Widely used method is a method to use the artificial lens and replace it with the existing lens. The surgery can be inserted exactly according to the angle and points that are calculated in advance in the intraocular lens insertion is important. However, The lens insertion point can delete or blur the display due to such factors as foreign material coming out of the eye during surgery. Therefore, The lens insertion point needs a method of tracking the image processing by receiving the camera images in real time display method. In this paper, we propose a feature point tracking method by using template matching and buffer. a simulation results show that our ideas can track a feature point of the intraocular lens insertion.

  • An optical tracking plays an important role for measurement operation, as it is responsible for low altitude measurements that are difficult to obtain with radar systems. Since the existing optical tracking systems have not been developed in the proving ground itself so far, it is difficult to modify them to fit the environment of the proving ground. Also, they are designed as a vehicle-mounted type, so there is a limitation in selecting an optimal site. The in-house developed small optical tracking system is designed with a simple configuration to overcome these shortcomings and makes it possible for operators to operate the system at any place in the proving ground. In addition, there has been a need of developing small optical trackers by ourselves to be prepared for future research so that artificial intelligence (AI) can be applied to the optical tracking systems. In this paper, we described the design concept of the small optical tracker, the configuration of the components to implement the basic tracking function, and showed the results of the simulation to set the configuration of the equipment according to the characteristics of the flight targets.

  • Drug delivery in human upper airway was studied by the numerical simulation of oral airflow. We created an anatomically accurate upper airway model from CT scan data by using a medical image processing software (Mimics). The upper airway was composed of oral cavity, pharynx, larynx, trachea, and second generations of branches. Thin sliced CT data and meticulous refinement of model surface under the ENT doctor's advice provided more sophisticated nasal cavity models. With this 3D upper airway models, numerical simulation was conducted by ANSYS/FLUENT. The steady inspiratory airflows in that model was solved numerically for the case of flow rate of 250 mL/s with drug-laden spray(Q= 20, 40, 60 mL/s). Optimal parameters for mechanical drug aerosol targeting of predetermined areas was to be computed, for a given representative upper airways. From numerical flow visualization results, as flow-rate of drug-laden spray increases, the drag spray residue in oral cavity was increased and the distribution of drug spray in trachea and branches became more homogeneous.

  • Coronary angiography technology is usually used for examining or treating coronary artery stenosis. Especially, when a cardiologist inserts catheter into the heart blood vessel, the catheter path detection system is needed because the cardiologist has difficulty in not damaging vessel. Recently, to reduce this difficulty, many searchers have been working for the various image processing technologies, such as vessel edge detection, optimal threshold method, etc. However the results of these searches are showing different performances depend on the contrast and quality of images. Therefore, this study for the coronary angiography suggests a novel algorithm to avoid these problems. The suggested algorithm consists of multi-sampling, interpolation, threshold method, and fault points elimination. To evaluate the performance of the proposed method, we used several angiographic images in experimentation, and we found that the proposed method is effective for detecting the catheter insertion path.

  • This paper discusses techniques for embedding data into 3D polygonal models of geometry. Much researches of Watermarking had been gone as element technology of DRM (digital rights management). But, few research had gone to 3D polygonal model. Most research is limited at text document, 2D image, animation, music etc. RP system is suitable a few production in various goods species, and it is used much in industry to possible reason that produce prototype and find error or incongruent factor at early stage on design in product development childhood. This paper is research about method that insert watermark in STL ( stereolithography) file that have 3D shape model. Proposed algorithm inserts watermark in normal vector region and facet's interior region of 3D shape data. For this reason, 3D shape does not produce some flexure and fulfill invisibility of watermark. Experiment results that insert and extract watermark in normal netter region and facet's Interior region of 3D shape data by proposed algorithm do not influence entirely in 3D shape and show that insertion and extraction of watermark are possible.
