This paper proposes some diagnostics procedures for the skew-t linear regression model with censored response. The skew-t distribution is an attractive family of asymmetrical heavy-tailed densities that includes the normal, skew-normal and student's-t distributions as special cases. Inspired by the power and wide applicability of the EM-type algorithm, local and global influence analysis, based on the conditional expectation of the complete-data log-likelihood function are developed, following Zhu and Lee's approach. For the local influence analysis, four specific perturbation schemes are discussed. Two real data sets, from education and economics, which are right and left censoring, respectively, are analyzed in order to illustrate the usefulness of the proposed methodology.

This paper presents a salient region detection algorithm for auto-focusing based on the characteristics of a human's visual attention. To describe the saliency at the local, regional, and global levels, this paper proposes a set of novel features including multi-scale local contrast, variance, center-surround entropy, and closeness to the center. Those features are then prioritized to produce a saliency map. The major advantage of the proposed approach is twofold; i) robustness to changes in focus and ii) low computational complexity. The experimental results showed that the proposed method outperforms the existing low-level feature-based methods in the sense of both robustness and accuracy for auto-focusing.

This paper presents a fuzzy footstep planner for humanoid robots in complex environments. First, we define locomotion primitives for humanoid robots. A global planner finds a global path from a navigation map that is generated based on a combination of 2.5 dimensional maps of the 3D workspace. A local planner searches for an optimal sequence of locomotion primitives along the global path by using fuzzy footstep planning. We verify our approach on a virtual humanoid robot in a simulated environment. Simulation results show a reduction in planning time and the feasibility of the proposed method.

This paper analyzes the accuracy on the approach and landing of aircraft to an airport through comparison with airbase Precision Approach Radar and aircraft track data of DGPS equipped in aircraft. The proposed analysis result could be a basis for verifying the possibility that DGPS can be utilized in Airbase precision approach and landing. Position identification capability of widely used commercial DGPS is fairly accurate on latitude and longitude, while there is a slight error for being used in an airbase accurate approach and landing of Category I precision when it comes to altitude. Thus, we tested accuracy by analyzing actual flight track data of high performance aircraft to verify the accuracy of the airbase approach and landing using DGPS. Through the research, we developed instrumentation to compare PAR track data with DGPS track data, which can be used in reducing the number of PAR verification Flight utilizing it as a system measuring PAR accuracy at PAR installation phase.

There has been the migration to a performance-based approach in many areas which include transition planning at global, regional and local levels, performance-based navigation and safety management. Achieving continuous success of Air Traffic Management (ATM) systems would require a performance-based approach to raise productivity and efficiency of it through performance measurements and reviews. This paper considers establishment planning of performance measurement and evaluation system for ATM. Related to key performance areas proposed by International Civil Aviation Organization, performance indicators and metrics which could be used to measure and evaluate ATM performance are presented. Also, organizational system and operational planning for efficient operation of ATM are presented.

A 9300 TEU container carrier was equipped in 2006 with instrumentation aimed at wave induced accelerations, and motions. In 2010 the system was extended with strain sensors to include structural loads. Section loads for vertical bending could be readily obtained but the originally intended derivation of horizontal bending and torsion from the measured strains was found to be unreliable. This paper addresses an alternative approach that was adopted in the post processing of results. In particular the concept to use acceleration sensors to capture global hull deformations along the length of the hull, and the use of a data fusion procedure to obtain section loads from combined sensor data and finite element calculations. The approach is illustrated by comparison of actually measured accelerations and local strains with values obtained from the data fusion model. It is concluded that the approach is promising but in need of further validation and development. In particular the number and shapes of the modes used may not have been sufficient to represent the true deflection and thus strain distributions along the high loaded areas.

The narrow-down approach, separately composed of search and classification stages, is an effective way of dealing with large-scale hierarchical text classification. Recent approaches introduce methods of incorporating global, local, and path information extracted from web taxonomies in the classification stage. Meanwhile, in the case of utilizing path information, there have been few efforts to address existing limitations and develop more sophisticated methods. In this paper, we propose an expansion method to effectively exploit category path information based on the observation that the existing method is exposed to a term mismatch problem and low discrimination power due to insufficient path information. The key idea of our method is to utilize relevant information not presented on category paths by adding more useful words. We evaluate the effectiveness of our method on state-of-the art narrow-down methods and report the results with in-depth analysis.

Traveling Salesman Problem(TSP) is a combinational optimization problem, Genetic Algorithm(GA) and Lin-Kernighan(LK) Heuristic［1］that is Local Search Heuristic are one of the most commonly used methods to resolve TSP. In this paper, we introduce ACS(Ant Colony System) Algorithm as another approach to solve TSP and propose a new pheromone updating method. ACS uses pheromone information between cities in the Process where many ants make a tour, and is a method to find a optimal solution through recursive tour creation process. At the stage of Global Updating of ACS method, it updates pheromone of edges belonging to global best tour of created all edge. But we perform once more pheromone update about created all edges before global updating rule of original ACS is applied. At this process, we use the frequency of occurrence of each edges to update pheromone. We could offer stochastic value by pheromone about each edges, giving all edges' occurrence frequency as weight about Pheromone. This finds an optimal solution faster than existing ACS algorithm and prevent a local optima using more edges in next time search.

As economy and population have been growing, air pollution problems both in local and regional scale came to the surface in East Asia in last decades. In addition to urban problems, regional air pollution is also becoming a big issue international concern. Urban and regional air pollution issues are closely related and we have to tackle the problem by understanding underlying scientific reality and taking a strategic approach to mitigation. (omitted)

Automatic recognition of seal imprint has been required in the oriental countries. In this paper, a hierarchical approach for seal imprint verification is presented. Global features are used for seal imprint description in the first step. In the second step, conventional and several proposed local features are used to detect useful informations such as size, distribution and relative position of stroke length from seal imprint. In the last step, seal imprints are classified into one of three categories 'accept', 'ambiguous' and reject', based on the hierarchical classification. Experimental results show good performance on classification and recognition.
