In this paper, we propose a method to measure respiration rate by dividing the respiration related region in depth image using level set method. In the conventional method, the respiration related region was separated using the pre-defined region designated by the user. We separate the respiration related region using level set method combining shape prior knowledge. Median filter and clipping are performed as a preprocessing method for noise reduction in the depth image. As a feasibility test, respiration activity was recorded using depth camera in various environments with arm movements or body movements during breathing. Respiration activity was also measured simultaneously using a chest belt to verify the accuracy of calculated respiration rate. Experimental results show that our proposed method shows good performance for respiration rate estimation in various situation compared with the conventional method.

The purpose of this study is to propose the proper vocabularies for evaluating H.D TV set fan noise in residential condition. To achieve this goal, psycho-acoustic experiments were carried out with TV set fan noise modulated at specific frequency band. finally, a correlation analysis between vocabularies, and a factor analysis of psycho-acoustical responses were conducted. As a result of this study, followings are suggested. Analyzing the psycho-acoustical response corresponding to the various sound level, the higher the sound levels, the higher the response values were. It is estimated that the sound level determined psycho-acoustical responses. On the degree of response to fan noise, the initial level of negative feeling is located on $35{\sim}40$ dB(A). The factor of evaluating H.D. TV set fan noise has induced three the appropriate korean adjectives; Irritate, Monotonous, stuffy and dryness. The result of this study may be used to evaluate the acoustic threshold level for indoor noise or a basis for specifying the desired acoustic environment of dwellings.

객체분할은 영상처리와 컴퓨터비전분야의 상당히 어려운 연구대상이다. 그레이스케일 영상에 대한 영상분할은 매우 많은 방법이 발표되었으며 다양한 영상특징과 처리방법이 제시되었다. 이러한 방법들은 대개 자연상태의 칼라 영상에 적용되기 어렵다. 본 논문에서는 기하학적인 Active Contour 모델의 수정된 형태, 즉 거리정규화레벨셋(distance regularized level set evolution: DRLSE)을 이용한 방법을 제시하여 스피드 함수가 이러한 칼라요소를 반영하도록 하였으며 실험결과 정확성과 시간효율성에 있어서 우수한 결과를 보여주었다.

본 논문은 계속적으로 움직이는 Pan & Tilt 카메라를 가지고 객체를 안정적으로 추적하기 위해 Level Set 알고리즘과 Pan & Tilt 카메라간의 상호 유동적인 시스템을 설계하는 방법에 대하여 기술하고 있다. 특정객체를 Pan & Tilt 카메라로 계속적으로 추적하고자 할 때는 안정적인 배경영상을 얻을 수 없기 때문에 MOG 와 같은 통계적인 추적알고리즘을 쓰는 것이 불가능해진다. 본 논문에서는 배경 영상이 계속적으로 변하기 때문에 고정된 배경 영상을 가질 수 없는 문제와 이로 인해 객체의 영역을 잘 추출할 수 없다는 한계를 극복하기 위해 Level Set 에 기반한 외곽선 추적 방법을 이용한다. 이 방법은 단지 차영상만을 가지고도 어느 정도 객체의 영역을 추출할 수 있는 방법이다. Level Set 방법은 높은 복잡도를 가지기 때문에 실시간 계산이 빠른 외곽선 추적 방법을 이용하였으며, 이를 통해 실시간 영상에 대한 외곽선 추적을 가능하게 하였다. 그리고 Level Set 기반 외곽선 추출 방법에 의해 객체의 중심점을 구하는 알고리즘과 Pan & Tilt 카메라에 의해 객체를 추적하는 알고리즘 간에 유동적인 연결을 하였다.

This paper proposes an efficient approach for the structural topology optimization of bi-directional functionally graded structures by incorporating popular radial basis functions (RBFs) into an implicit level set (ILS) method. Compared to traditional element density-based methods, a level set (LS) description of material boundaries produces a smoother boundary description of the design. The paper develops RBF implicit modeling with multiquadric (MQ) splines, thin-plate spline (TPS), exponential spline (ES), and Gaussians (GS) to define the ILS function with high accuracy and smoothness. The optimization problem is formulated by considering RBF-based nodal densities as design variables and minimizing the compliance objective function. A LS-RBF optimization method is proposed to transform a Hamilton-Jacobi partial differential equation (PDE) into a system of coupled non-linear ordinary differential equations (ODEs) over the entire design domain using a collocation formulation of the method of lines design variables. The paper presents detailed mathematical expressions for BiDFG beams topology optimization with two different material models: continuum functionally graded (CFG) and mechanical functionally graded (MFG). Several numerical examples are presented to verify the method's efficiency, reliability, and success in accuracy, convergence speed, and insensitivity to initial designs in the topology optimization of two-dimensional (2D) structures. Overall, the paper presents a novel and efficient approach to topology optimization that can handle bi-directional functionally graded structures with complex geometries.

본 연구에서는 유한요소 최소자승법에 기반한 level-set 방정식의 이류방정식과 재초기화 방정식의 이산화기법을 3차원 슬로싱 문제에 적용한 코드를 개발하고, 그 성능을 평가한다. 사용된 수치기법은 정렬 격자계를 이용하여 다양한 표준 예제들에 대하여 검증이 수행되었다. 제안된 방법은 상대적으로 성긴 격자계에서 다른 기법들에 비하여 개선된 해를 줌을 확인하였다. 두 가지의 격자계에 대하여 수행한 3차원 슬로싱 해석은 상당히 성긴 격자계에서도 압력의 시간 이력이 실험결과와 잘 일치함을 보여주며, 조밀한 격자계에서는 최대압력의 크기가 크게 예측이 됨을 확인하였다. 한편, 본 연구에서 개발한 기법은 유한요소법의 특성에 의해서 비정렬 격자계를 이용하여 복잡한 형상을 가지는 용기 내의 슬로싱 문제의 해석으로 바로 확장할 수 있다.

Electrowetting is a versatile tool to handle tiny droplets and forms a backbone of digital microfluidics. Numerical analysis is necessary to fully understand the dynamics of electrowetting, especially in designing electrowetting-based devices, such as liquid lenses and reflective displays. We developed a numerical method to analyze the general contact-line problems, incorporating dynamic contact angle models. The method is based on the conservative level set method to capture the interface of two fluids without loss of mass. We applied the method to the analysis of spreading process of a sessile droplet for step input voltages and oscillation of the droplet for alternating input voltages in electrowetting. The result was compared with experimental data. It is shown that contact line friction significantly affects the contact line motion and the oscillation amplitude. The pinning process of contact line was well represented by including the hysteresis effect in the contact angle models. In level set method, in the mean time, material properties are made to change smoothly across an interface of two materials with different properties by introducing an interpolation or smoothing scheme. So far, the weighted arithmetic mean (WAM) method has been exclusively adopted in level set method, without complete assessment for its validity. We viscosity, thermal conductivity, electrical conductivity, and permittivity, can be an alternative. I.e., the WHM gives more accurate results than the WAM method in certain circumstances. The interpolation scheme should be selected considering various characteristics including type of property, ratio of property of two fluids, geometry of interface, and so on.
