This paper proposes hough transform-based semi-automatic vertex detection algorithm for object modeling on a mobile phone supporting touch-screens. The proposed algorithm shows fast processing time by searching the limited range of parameters for computing hough transform with a small range of ROI image. Moreover, the proposed algorithm removes bad candidates among the detected lines by selecting the two closest candidate lines from the position of user's input. After that, it accurately detects an interesting vertex without additionally required interactions by detecting an intersection point of the two lines. As a result, we believe that the proposed algorithm shows a 1.4 pixel distance error on average as a vertex detection accuracy under such conditions as a 5.7 pixel distance error on average as an inaccurate input.

In this paper, a stationary wavelet transform method is proposed for improving the altitude control performance of quadrotor UAV using an ultrasonic rangefinder. A ground tests are conducted using an ultrasonic rangefinder that is much used for vertical takeoff and landing. An ultrasonic rangefinder suffers from signal's spike due to specular reflectance and acoustic noise. The occurred spikes in short time span need to be analyzed at both sides time and frequency domain. It was known that stationary wavelet transform is the transferring solution to the problem occurred by down sampling from DWT also more efficient to remove noise than DWT. The analyzed spikes of the ultrasonic rangefinder using a stationary wavelet transform and experimental results show that it can effectively remove the spikes of the ultrasonic rangefinder.

Numerical simulations have been performed to investigate various spectral estimators used in LDV signal processing. In order to simulate a particle arrival time statistics known as the doubly stochastic poisson process, an autoregressive vector model was adopted to construct a primary velocity field. The conditional Poisson process with a random rate parameter was generated through the rescaling time process using the mean value function. The direct transform based on random sampling sequences and the standard periodogram using periodically resampled data by the sample and hold interpolation were applied to obtain power spectral density functions. For low turbulent intensity flows, the direct transform with a constant Poisson intensity is in good agreement with the theoretical spectrum. The periodogram using the sample and hold sequences is better than the direct transform in the view of the stability and the weighting of the velocity bias for high data density flows. The high Reynolds stress and high fluctuation of the transverse velocity component affects the velocity bias which increases the distortion of spectral components in the direct transform.

The bonding structure and composition of silicon nitride (SiNx) films were investigated by using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR). SiNx films were deposited on Si substrate at $340^{\circ}C$ using a conventional PECVD system. The compositions of Si and N in SiNx films were confirmed by using Rutherford backscattering spectroscopy (RBS) and photoluminescence (PL) analysis. The surface morphology of SiNx films was also analyzed by using atomic force microscopy (AFM). It was found that the contents of NH(at. %) is the reverse related with those of SiH corresponding to the result of FT-IR. we conclude that a quantitative analysis on SiNx films can be possible through a precise detection of the contents of H in SiNx films with a FT-IR analysis only.

When a digital filter implementation is based on a difference equation, the frequency characteristics cannot be obtained by direct computation, but be obtained by experiment or analogized by Z-transform. In this paper, the method to compute the frequency magnitude response of the function expressed in a difference equation is derived from PARSEVAL's relation. To verify the validity of this new method two types of digital filters are implemented. Both filters' characteristics are measured and their values are compared with the value obtained by a Z-transform and with the value by a difference equation. The result shows that the measured values and the values obtained by the difference equaton are more closer than the values by a Z-transform. And the difference-equaton-based filters' showed sharper roll off characteristics than the Z-transform-based filters. Therefore when a digital filter implementation is based on a difference equation, the characteristics computation by a difference equation predicts better practical results than based on Z-transform.

Iterative Fourier transform algorithm, (IFTA) is tile iterative numerical algorithm for the design of the diffractive optical elements (DOE), by which the phase distribution of a DOE converges on a local optimal solution. The convergence of IFTA depends on several factors 3s initial phase distribution, the structure of the degree of freedom on the observation plane, and the values of internal parameters. In this paper, we analyze tile dependence of the convergence of IFTA on an internal parameter of IFTA, the relaxation parameter, and propose a new hybrid scheme of genetic algorithm and IFTA to obtain more accurate solution.

The main drawback of filtered-X LMS(FXLMS) algorithm for the ANC of broadband noises is its low convergence speed when the filtered reference signals are strongly correlated, producing a large eigenvalue ratio in correlation matrix. This correlation can be caused either by autocorrelation of the signals of the reference sensors, or by coupling between the error path which introduces intercorrelation in the filtered reference signals. In this paper, we introduce a transform domain FXLMS(TD-FXLMS) algorithm that has a high convergence speed by orthogonal transform's decorrelation properties.

This study was conducted to investigate whether four hot-water extraction steps could effectively remove off-flavor from bovine bone extracts and produce compounds with pleasant aroma. Experiments were performed using a mass spectrometry-electronic nose and Fourier transform-near infrared spectrometer (FT-NIR). Off-flavor compounds were removed by washing and extraction with hot water. Steaming treatment produced compounds with a better aroma, such as 4-methylthiazole. In addition, a change in flavor compounds was observed in treated samples.

Objective: The present study was to investigate the extraction conditions of dietary fiber from dried cassava pulp (DCP) and cassava distiller's dried grains (CDG) under different NaOH concentrations, and the Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) was used to determine the dietary fiber components. Methods: The dried samples (DCP and CDG) were treated with various concentrations of NaOH at levels of 2%, 4%, 6%, and 8% using a completely randomized design with 4 replications of each. After extraction, the residual DCP and CDG dietary fiber were dried in a hot air oven at 55℃ to 60℃. Finally, the oven dried extracted dietary fiber was powdered to a particle size of 1 mm. Both extracted dietary fibers were analyzed for their chemical composition and determined by FTIR. Results: The DCP and CDG treated with NaOH linearly or quadratically or cubically (p<0.05) increased the total dietary fiber (TDF) and insoluble fiber (IDF). The optimal conditions for extracting dietary fiber from DCP and CDG were under treatment with 6% and 4% NaOH, respectively, as these conditions yielded the highest TDF and IDF contents. These results were associated with the FTIR spectra integration for a semi-quantitative analysis, which obtained the highest cellulose content in dietary fiber extracted from DCP and CDG with 6% and 4% NaOH solution, respectively. The principal component analysis illustrated clear separation of spectral distribution in cassava pulp extracted dietary fiber (DFCP) and cassava distiller's dried grains extracted dietary fiber (DFCDG) when treated with 6% and 4% NaOH, respectively. Conclusion: The optimal conditions for the extraction of dietary fiber from DCP and CDG were treatment with 6% and 4% NaOH solution, respectively. In addition, FTIR spectroscopy proved itself to be a powerful tool for fiber identification.

This study considers a functionally graded (FG) elastic layer resting on homogeneous elastic substrate under axisymmetric static loading. The shear modulus of the FG layer is assumed to vary in an exponential form through the thickness. In solution, the FG layer is approximated into a multilayered medium consisting of thin homogeneous sublayers. Stiffness matrices for a typical homogeneous isotropic elastic layer and a half-space are first obtained by solving the axisymmetric elasticity equations with the aid of Hankel's transform. Global stiffness matrix is, then, assembled by considering the continuity conditions at the interfaces. Numerical results for the displacements and the stresses are obtained and compared with those of the classical elasticity and the finite element solutions. According to the results of the study, the approach employed here is accurate and efficient for elasto-static problems of FGMs.
