Morphological evolution and growth mechanism at the solid/liquid interface during solidification were investigated in the Ni-base superalloy GTD111M by directional soldification and quenching(DSQ) technique. The experiments were conducted by changing solidification rate(V) and thermal gradient(G) which are major solidification process variables. High thermal gradient condition could be obtained by increasing the furnace temperature and closely attaching the heating and cooling zones in the Bridgeman type furnace. The dendritic/equiaxed transition was found in the G/V value lower than $0.05$\times$10{^3}^{\circ}C$s/$\textrm{mm}^2$, and the planar interface of the MC-${\gamma}$ eutectic was found under $17 $\times$ 10{^3}^{\circ}C$ s/$\textrm{mm}^2$. It was confirmed that the dendrite spacing depended on the cooling rate(GV), and the primary spacing was affected by the thermal gradient more than solidification rate. The dendrite lengths were decreased as increasing the thermal graditne, and the dendrite tip temperature was close to the liquidus temperature at $50 \mu\textrm{m}$/s.

에지는 영상의 가장 기본적인 특징을 나타내며, 에지 검출은 영상처리 분야 및 컴퓨터 비전 영역에서 매우 중요한 역할을 한다. 이러한 에지를 검출하기 위한 연구들이 국내 외적으로 많이 수행되고 있다. 기존의 에지 검출 방법에는 로버츠, 소벨, 프리윗, 라플라시안 등 고정된 값의 마스크를 사용하는 방법들이 있으며 모폴로지 처리 기술 가운데 팽창과 침식을 이용하는 모폴로지 그라디언트 방법 등이 있다. 그러나 이러한 방법들은 대각선 방향이나 완만한 영상의 변화가 있는 경우 에지 검출이 잘 되지 않는 문제가 있다 따라서 본 논문에서는 이러한 경우에도 에지 검출이 잘 되는 변형된 top-hat 및 bottom-hat 변환 방식의 에지 검출 알고리듬을 제안하였다. 제안된 알고리듬을 기존의 방법들과 비교하여 에지 검출 영상을 제시하였으며 코사인 기반의 유사도를 사용하여 성능 및 유사성을 평가하였다.

A sequencing batch reactor was operated under different pH conditions to see the influence of pH to microbial community in enhanced biological phosphorus removal (EBPR) systems. Long term influences of different steady-state pH conditions on the microbial community composition were evaluated by polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis (DGGE) and fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH). The shift in populations from polyphosphate-accumulating organisms (PAOs) to Alphaproteobacteria was observed when pH was changed from 7.5 to 7.0. Alphaproteobacteria with the typical morphological traits of tetrad-forming organisms (TFOs) eventually became dominant members. The alphaproteobacterial TFOs were the phenotype expected for glycogen-accumulating organisms (GAOs), which accumulate large amount of glycogen into the cell. The results strongly suggested that low operational pH condition encourages the appearance of the GAOs in EBPR process, significantly reducing the EBPR capacity.

Image enhancement is a challenging problem in the field of image processing, especially low-light color images enhancement. This paper proposed a robust and comprehensive enhancement method based several points. First, the idea of bright channel is introduced to estimate the illumination map which is used to attain the enhancing result with Retinex model, and the color constancy is keep as well. Second, in order eliminate the illumination offsets wrongly estimated, morphological closing operation is used to modify the initial estimating illumination. Furthermore, in order to avoid fabricating edges, enlarged noises and over-smoothed visual features appearing in enhancing result, a multi-scale closing operation is used. At last, in order to avoiding the haloes and artifacts presented in enhancing result caused by gradient information lost in previous step, guided filtering is introduced to deal with previous result with guided image is initial bright channel. The proposed method can get good illumination map, and attain very effective enhancing results, including dark area is enhanced with more visual features, color natural and constancy, avoiding artifacts and over-enhanced, and eliminating Incorrect light offsets.

확산(Diffusion)을 이용한 기존의 칼라영상 분할은 확산의 횟수가 반복될수록 경계선 정보가 적절히 유지되지 못하거나 잡음을 제거하지 못함으로써 워터쉐드(Watershed) 알고리즘을 적용하는 경우, 과분할을 피할 수 없다는 단점을 갖고 있다. 본 논문에서는 수리 형태학(Mathematical Morphology)과 비선형 확산(Non-Linear Diffusion)을 함께 적용하여 과분할의 문제점을 제거한 워터쉐드 결과를 얻을 수 있는 칼라영상 분할방법을 제안한다. 임의의 칼라 영상을 LUV 색상공간으로 변환하여, 그 각각의 색상공간에 수리 형태학을 응용한 재구성에 의한 닫힘(Reconstruction) 연산과 비선형 확산을 함께 적용하여 경계선을 적절히 유지하면서 잡음을 제거한 단순 영상을 획득할 수 있다. 이 영상에서 칼라 영상의 기울기(Gradient) 정보를 획득하고, 워터쉐드 알고리즘을 적용하여 영상을 분할한다. 실험 결과, 기존의 방법보다 과분할이 현저히 제거되고, 칼라 영상이 매우 효과적으로 분할됨을 확인하였다

Hough변환을 이용하여 정자의 행태학적 특성을 분석하는 새로운 방법을 개발하였다. 이 방법은 정자의 머리부분이 주위의 배경과 밝기의 차이를 갖는다는 특성과 함께 그 형태가 타원에 근접한다는 특성에 근거하고 있다. 정자의 머리부분은 타원을 나타내는 5개의 파라메터로 표현되고, 최적의 파라메터 값이 반복적인 Hough 변환에 의하여 검출된다. 일차적으로 정자가 있는 영역을 선택한다. Hough변환을 이용한 계산을 가능하게 하기 위하여 Hough변환된 공간의 크기를 최소한으로 줄이고, 검출된 오차가 최소화되는 방향으로 검사영역을 이동 시켜가며 최적의 파라메터들을 도출한다. 형태학적 특성을 나타내는 지표들은 정자의 형태를 나타내는 타원의 다섯개 파라메터들로부터 계산된다.

Image always carry useful information, detecting a text from scene images is imperative. The proposed work's purpose is to recognize scene text image, example boarding image kept on highways. Scene text detection on highways boarding's plays a vital role in road safety measures. At initial stage applying preprocessing techniques to the image is to sharpen and improve the features exist in the image. Likely, morphological operator were applied on images to remove the close gaps exists between objects. Here we proposed a two phase algorithm for extracting and recognizing text from scene images. In phase I text from scenery image is extracted by applying various image preprocessing techniques like blurring, erosion, tophat followed by applying thresholding, morphological gradient and by fixing kernel sizes, then canny edge detector is applied to detect the text contained in the scene images. In phase II text from scenery image recognized using MSER (Maximally Stable Extremal Region) and OCR; Proposed work aimed to detect the text contained in the scenery images from popular dataset repositories SVT, ICDAR 2003, MSRA-TD 500; these images were captured at various illumination and angles. Proposed algorithm produces higher accuracy in minimal execution time compared with state-of-the-art methodologies.

All-solid-state batteries are promising energy storage devices in which high-energy-density and superior safety can be obtained by efficient cell design and the use of nonflammable solid electrolytes, respectively. This paper presents a systematic study of experimental factors that affect the electrochemical performance of all-solid-state batteries. The morphological changes in composite electrodes fabricated using different mixing speeds are carefully observed, and the corresponding electrochemical performances are evaluated in symmetric cell and half-cell configurations. We also investigate the effect of the composite electrode thickness at different charge/discharge rates for the realization of all-solid-state batteries with high-energy-density. The results of this investigation confirm a consistent relationship between the cell capacity and the ionic resistance within the composite electrodes. Finally, a concentration-gradient composite electrode design is presented for enhanced power density in thick composite electrodes; it provides a promising route to improving the cell performance simply by composite electrode design.

This study was conducted to estimate climax index by eco-morphology for major 36 tree and sub-tree species in natural deciduous forests so as to interpret seral position of each species in the forest community. Fourteen eco-morphological characters which were considered to be associated with successional gradient in the forest were selected for the study. Four levels per character for each species were given on a standardized scale of increasing climax, and the index was computed by the proportion of the sum of total scores, expressed by percent values. With calculated mean value of 54.8 for all indices, Carpinus cordata had the highest index value of 90.5, and Populus davidiana recorded the lowest of 13.2. The most climax group, greater than 70 of the index, contained only 8 species, intermediate group, between 41 to 70 of the index, had 23 species, and the most pioneer group, less than 40 of the index comprised 5 species. The result has noticed that the large number of species would take advantage of most diverse resource and niche in the intermediate stage of the sere in the forest. By cluster analysis all 36 species were subjected to be classified into several species groups which had common similar eco-morphological characteristics. The indices were additionally plotted on the two dimensional graph to recognize the positions related to the light absorption factor and reproduction factor. The climax index of tree and sub-tree species developed by this study could be applied to understand the present status of successional stage on the basis of species composition by the method of summing up the indices. And comparison of forest successional stage among various forest communities could be done by summing up the climax indices of composed species in each community. However, this kind of applied methodology should be limited to the forest of similar species composition and site condition.
