In this paper, a fast thinning method for fingerprint image by separating end and bifurcation region is proposed. To detect feature points in automatic fingerprint identification system, thinning of fingerprint is essential. The end and bifurcation regions in ridge line are separated by means of run-length coding, and parallel thinning method is applied to the separated regions. The rest parts except the end and bifurcation regions are processed by connecting center points of each run. The performance of the proposed method has been evaluated by CPU processing time and thinness measurement. By the experimental results, the proposed method is fast and has high thinness value.

지역적인 영상의 색변환이란 영상에서 특정 색을 포함하는 영역을 추정하고 이를 원하는 색으로 변환시키는 것이다. 기존방법에서는 색차만을 이용해서 바꾸고자 하는 색을 포함하는 영역을 추정하고 이를 변환하였다. 따라서 변환되는 색 주변에서 원하지 않는 색결점(color artifact)이 나타나게 되었다. 제안한 방법에서는 이러한 색결점을 줄이기 위해 컬러 카테고리 맵과 수정된 color influence map을 결합한 지역적인 색변환 방법을 제안하였다. 컬러 카테고리 맵은 모든 색을 사람의 인지를 기반으로 11가지의 컬러 카테고리로 나눈 것으로서, 컬러 정보만을 이용해서 먼저 바꾸고자하는 색을 포함한 입력 영상의 지역 영역을 대략적으로 추정한다. 다음으로, 수정된 color influence map을 이용하여 인접한 영역의 색을 고려한 색변환 정도를 계산한다. 기존의 방법처럼 단순히 동일한 가중치를 주는 색차보다는 밝기와 색도에 서로 다른 가중치를 주어 수정된 color influence map을 계산하였다. 마지막으로 각각의 컬러 카테고리 맵과 수정된 color influence map에 가중치를 결합하여 지역적인 영상의 색변환을 수행하였다. 실험을 통해 제안한 방법과 기존의 색변환 방법의 결과 영상을 비교해 보았으며, 제안한 방법에서 색결점이 적게 나타나는 것을 확인할 수 있다.

An experimental study has been conducted to investigate the flow and heat/mass transfer characteristics within a rectangular film cooling hole of normal injection angle for various blowing ratios and Reynolds numbers. The results are compared with those for the square hole. The experiments have been performed using a naphthalene sublimation method and the flow field has been analyzed by numerical calculation using a commercial code (FLUENT). The heat/mass transfer around the hole entrance region is enhanced considerably due to the reattachment of separated flow and the vortices generated within the hole. At the hole exit region, the heat/mass transfer increases because the main flow induces a secondary vortex. It is observed that the overall heat/mass transfer characteristics are similar to those for the square hole. However, the different heat/mass transfer patterns come out due to increased aspect ratio. Unlike the square hole, the heat/mass transfer on the trailing edge side of hole entrance region has two peak regions due to split flow reattachment, and heat/mass transfer on the hole exit region is less sensitive to the blowing ratios than the square hole.

수중 폭발성 음원(SUS: Signals underwater sound)을 이용한 천해 저주파 잔향음 실험을 97년 제주 해역에서 실시하였다. 고유음선 정보에 경계면 반사손실을 보정하여 유효 고유음선을 구하였다. 이것을 기준으로 측정된 신호를 시간영역에서 잡음, 반사, 산란 영역으로 구분하고 각 영역에 대해서 스펙트럼 분석을 실시하였으며 각 영역이 갖는 확률적 특성을 분석하였다. 실험해역은 안정된 해저 형태를 갖는 천해였으므로 산란 신호는 일정한 크기를 갖고 지속적으로 수신되었다. 스펙트럼 분석을 통하여 각 영역별 분포하는 주파수 대역을 확인하였다. 또한 구분된 각 영역에 대해 확률 특성을 분석한 결과 주파수영역의 실수부와 허수부는 각각 정규 분포를 보였으며 그것의 진폭(envelope)은 레일리 분포를 나타냈다. 또한 산란신호의 위상은 유니폼 분포 특성을 나타내어 잔향음의 확률 분포 특성을 잘 반영하고 있었다.

Peptide fragments, isolated from proteolytic cleavage of thyroglobulin at specific sites, were examined for the iodination of tyrosine residues. The 50 kDa polypeptide, which was prepared from digestion of bovine thyroglobulin and continuous preparative SDS-PAGE, was subjected to reduction with DTT and alkylation with iodoacetic acid to generate S-car-boxymethylated peptide derivative, which was further hydrohysed by endoproteinase-Asp-N. Peptide products were separated by RP-HPLC, and each fraction was analyzed by LC/ESI-MS and MALDI-MS analyses. Based on the specificity of endoproteinase-Asp-N andthe mass spectra data, a peptide fragment turned out to correspond to a peptide, DALCCVKCPEGSYFQ (1438-1452), characterized by the presence of a thioredoxin box (CVKC) and a tyrosine residue. In addition, another peptide fragment (1453-1465) containing a thioredoxin box (CIPC) and a tyrosine residue was also observed. However, any evidence of iodination of the tyrosine residue present in these peptides was not provided. Meanwhile, tyrosine residues in the peptides, DVEEALAGKYLAGRFA (1366-1381) and DYSGLLLAFQVFLL (1290-1303) were found to be iodinated; mono- or diiodinated tyrosine residues, characteristic of a hormogenic site, existed in both peptides. In addition, the tyrosine residue in the peptide (1218-1252), corresponding to a hormonogenic site was also iodinated. Thus, there was a sharp difference of the susceptibility to oxidative iodination between the tyrosine residue in a hormonogenic site and that in a thioredoxin region. From these results, it is suggested that polypeptide region adjacent to tyrosine residues may govern the susceptibility of tyrosine to oxidative iodination.

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.

A coupled approach is proposed for the prediction of sheet profile in sheet casting process, which combines one-dimensional analytical method on planar elongational flow region and three-dimensional numerical method on the other region. The strategy is constructed from the observations that the flow domain of sheet casting process can be separated into two parts based old the flow kinematics. The flow field in the central region of sheet, over which the planar elongational flow dominates, is possibly replaced by one-dimensional analytical solution. Then only a partial flow domain near the edge region of sheet, where the flow kinematics cannot be described by the planar elongational flow itself, requires three-dimensional numerical simulation. Good agreement is observed between the coupled approach developed in this study and the full three-dimensional numerical simulation previously developed and reported by the authors. This coupled approach may have provided flexibility with low costs to accommodate a wide range of die sizes in sheet casting process.

Effects of oxide additives such as MoO3, MnO2 ZrO2 and Fe2O3 on the phase separation and the chemical durability of sodium borosilicate glasses which are the host of waste glasses have been investigated as the basic study on the nuclear-waste immobilization through vitrification. MoO3 and MnO2 were found to be phase separation promotors which increased the temperature as well as catalyzed nucleation and growth for the phase separation of the 10Na2-O-3OB2O3-6OSiO2 (wt%) parent glass within the immiscibility region. The glasses had the interconnected phase-separated structure as the amount of addition increased. On the other hand, ZrO2 and Fe2O3 were inhibitors which showed the reverse effects to the above promotors. It was also found that addition of MoO3 could cause the phase separaton of the 20Na2O-10B2O3-70SiO2(wt%) glass even within the miscibility region. Addition of ZrO2 and Fe2O3 increased the chemical durability of the parent glass within the immiscibility region. Within the miscibility region, however, the addition of 1.96 wt % of MoO3 increased the chemical durability considerably, while MnO2 had little effects.

In general, the informations of the inner image that user interested in are limited to a special domain. In this paper, as using Wavelet Transform for dividing image into high frequency and low frequency, We can separate foreground including many data. After calculating object boundary of separated part, We extract special features using Color Coherence Vector. According to results of this experiment, the method of comparing data extracting foreground features is more effective than comparing data extracting features of entire image when we extract the image user interested in.
