In this paper, we present efficient six-connected contour coding algorithms which can uniquely reconstruct any contour image and efficiently compress the contour data. We first design chain difference codes using two onward direction states, based on the fact that the probability distribution of the direction vectors of horiwntal/vertical direction state is different from that of the direction vectors of diagonal direction state. In order to increase coding efficiency, we also design chain difference codes using five states which are classified according to current and previous onward direction vectors. In addition, we also remove the END codeword to reduce total codeword occurrency. Experimental results show that when using 2 states and 5 states without END codeword total entropy decreases by about 12% and 14% for real images and by about 10% and 26% for a synthetic image, respectively.

We present a direct simulation technique for two-dimensional mold-filling simulations of fluids filled with a large number of circular disk-like rigid particles. It is a direct simulation in that the hydrodynamic interaction between particles and fluid is fully considered. We employ a pseudo-concentration method for the evolution of the flow front and the DLM (distributed Lagrangian multipliers)-like fictitious domain method for the implicit treatment of the hydrodynamic interaction. Both methods allow the use of a fixed regular discretization during the entire computation. The discontinuous Galerkin method has been used to solve the concentration evolution equation and the rigid-ring description has been introduced for freely suspended particles. A buffer zone, the gate region of a finite area subject to the uniform velocity profile, has been introduced to put discrete particles into the computational domain avoiding any artificial discontinuity. From example problems of 450 particles, we investigated the particle motion and effects of particles on the flow for both Newtonian and shear-thinning fluid media. We report the prolonged particle movement toward the wall in case of a shear-thinning fluid, which has been interpreted with the shear rate distribution.

The incidence of Sexually Transmitted Disease has risen despite the progress in its diagnosis and treatment methods. For the effective control programs of S.T.D it should be required medical and social approaches. This survey was conducted in Young Dung Po and Sung Buk areas from June, 1986 to September, 1986. The 1185 prostitutes were studies in order to determine the prevalences of sexually transmitted disease. The results were as follows: 1. The average age of prostitutes was $24.0\pm3.9$ years. The age group of 21-25 years old was the highest level of about $70.3\%$. 2. The positive rate on non Gonococcal urethites was $9.1\%$ at Sung Buk area and $15.3\%$ at Young Dung Po area. 3. The positive rate of Neisseria Gonorrhoeae on culture of TM media was $6.4\%$ or total level and incidence ratio of Neisseria Gonorrhoeae: Non Gonococcal urethritis was 1: 1.7. 4. The positive rate of PPNG was occupied about $26.3\%$ among the total NG positive case. 5. The positive rate of VDRL Slide Test was $2.9\%$, and antibody Titer level of 1:2 was $38.8\%$. it was the highest of all Titer distribution.

본 논문에서는 컬러 영상의 검색을 위하여 영상을 색상 정보에 기반한 pixel layer (cluster)의 집합체로 모델링하고, 두 layer 간의 유사도를 각 layer 를 이루는 pixel 들의 색상 분포에 따른 공간적 분포를 이용하여 측정하는 기법을 제안한다. 먼저 pixel layering 단계에서는 HSV 색 공간에서 mean-shift clustering 알고리즘을 통해 초기 layer 들을 얻고, 비슷한 색상의 layer 들은 합쳐 영상의 soft segmentation 과 유사한 결과를 얻는다. 비교할 두 영상에서 pixel layering 을 한 후, 각 layer 를 이진화된 공간분포 지도로 형성하고 그 차이를 비교함으로써 유사도를 측정한다. 이 때, 사용하는 가중치로서 HSV 색 공간 분포의 비슷한 정도를 정의하는데, 이는 HSV 색 공간을 XYZ 의 3 차원 좌표로 설정하고, overlap 되는 pixel 수로 정의하였다. 본 논문에서 제안한 pixel layer 들 간의 색상 공간 분포에 따른 공간적 분포를 이용한 영상 검색 기법은 MPEG-7 에서 정의한 대표색상 기반의 영상 검색보다 우수한 성능을 보여주었다.

In this paper, we propose an edge histogram to efficiently represent the edge distribution in the image for MPEG-7. To this end, we adopt global, semi-global, and local edge histogram bins. Also, we extract the edge information from the image in terms of image blocks rather than pixels, which reduces the extraction complexity and is also applicable to the block-based compression standards such as MPEG-1, and 2. Experimental results show that the proposed method yields better retrieval accuracy and feature extraction speed comparing to other non-homogeneous texture descriptors of MPEG-7 including the wavelet-based descriptor and local edge-based descriptor.

본 논문에서는 컬러영상의 검색을 위하여 대표색상의 통계적 특성과 그 공간적 분포를 이용하는 기법을 제안한다. 대표색상은 HSV 색상공간에서 빈도수가 가장 높은 1-8개의 색상영역으로 선택되는데, 대표색상의 값과 각 대표색상이 영상에서 어떻게 분포하느냐에 따라서 검색되는 영상의 종류와 객체의 형태가 크게 달라진다. 본 논문에서는 영상을 일정한 개수의 작은 영역으로 나누고 각 영역에서 각 대표색상이 충분히 존재하는지를 평가하여, 각 대표색상이 영상평면에서 분포한 상태를 이진화된 공간분포 지도로 표시한다. 이로부터 영상간의 대표색상마다 이진공간분포의 차이를 비교함으로써, 색상의 통계적 특성과 공간적 분포가 동시에 반영된 특징으로 영상을 검색한다. 본 논문에서 제안한 대표색상의 공간적 분포 모델을 이용한 영상검색 기법은 MPEG-7에서 정의한 대표색상 기반의 영상 검색보다 우수한 성능을 보여주었다. 이진공간분포 지도의 생성 방법 및 거리측정 파라미터에 대한 최적화가 이루어지면 영상검색 성능이 더욱 개선될 것으로 예상되며, 웹기반의 영상검색 시스템에 활용될 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

모바일 IPTV는 이동통신망을 이용하여 방송서비스를 제공한다. 이동통신망을 통해 원활하게 방송서비스를 제공하기 위해서는 극복해야 할 기술적인 장벽이 몇 가지 존재한다. 그 중 하나로, 사용자가 기지국과 기지국 사이를 이동하는 경우 통신망은 연속적으로 서비스를 제공하기 위해 상대 기지국에 사용자의 정보를 전달하는 핸드오버 절차가 수행된다. 핸드오버 절차가 수행되면 시간의 지연이 발생하는데, 시간 지연은 방송 품질에 영향을 미칠 수 있다. 따라서 핸드오버의 발생에 따른 성능 분석은 원활한 방송 서비스를 제공하는데 있어 필수적인 과정으로 볼 수 있다. 본 논문은 핸드오버 성능을 분석하기 위하여 기본적인 무선 액세스 네트워크의 기능이 이미 구현되어 있는 NLS(Network-level Simulator)를 이용한 모의실험 방법을 제시한다. 하지만, 성능 분석에 필요한 기능이 모두 NLS에 포함되어 있지는 않다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 NLS 중 하나인 QualNet을 이용하여 핸드오버 성능 분석에 필요한 기능을 구현하는 방법을 예로 설명한다. 성능은 핸드오버 지연시간과 지연시간의 CDF(Cumulative Distribution Function) 로서 나타낸다.

The proposed print antenna using Finite Difference Time Domain(FDTD) method is analyzed in this paper. A low radiation resistance and an ultra-wide band of this antenna are also presented. The propagation process of the reflected wave and the electric field distribution in the time domain are calculated in respectively. The antenna parameters are optimized for the maximum band width, return loss, input impedance, and radiation pattern in the frequency domain using Fourier transforming. The experimental bandwidth of the antenna is 1.85GHz~6.35GHz for the VSWR less than or equal to 2.0. The measured results are relatively in good agreement with the FDTD results. The proposed antenna can be applied to various applications such as UWB, broadcasting-network system.

Understanding of the fracture processes in rock mass for hydrogeology necessitates such information as fracture mechanics including genesis, propagation, termination, and the relation of fracture distribution to geologic structures and fracture modelling, etc. A current status of information on fracture for groundwater flow in rock mass, however, is very paucity except on a few special fields throughout the world. The desired and reasonable approach method in the evaluation on the groundwater flow in fractured rock mass must be based on the thorough understanding of fracture processes and a simplified model representing fracture properties which would be met to natural conditions for the interpretation and prediction.

Sensor nodes have various energy and computational constraints because of their inexpensive nature and ad-hoc method of deployment. Considerable research has been focused at overcoming these deficiencies through faster media accessing, more energy efficient routing, localization algorithms and system design. Our research attempts to provide a method of improvement MAC performance in these issues. We show that traditional carrier-sense multiple access(CSMA) protocols like IEEE 802.11 do not handle the first constraint adequately, and do not take advantage of the second property, leading to degraded latency and throughput as the network scales in size, We present more efficient method of a medium access for real-time wireless sensor networks. Proposed MAC protocol is a randomized CSMA protocol, but unlike previous legacy protocols, does not use a time-varying contention window from which a node randomly picks a transmission slot. To reduce the latency for the delivery of event reports, it carefully decides a fixed-size contention window, non-uniform probability distribution of transmitting in each slot within the window. We show that it can offer up to several times latency reduction compared to legacy of IEEE 802.11 as the size of the sensor network scales up to 256 nodes using widely used simulator ns-2. We, finally show that proposed MAC scheme comes close to meeting bounds on the best latency achievable by a decentralized CSMA-based MAC protocol for real-time wireless sensor networks which is sensitive to latency.
