A slant correction method for handwritten Korean strings based on analysis of stroke distribution, which effectively reflects structural properties of Korean characters, is presented in this paper. The method aims to deal with typical problems which have been frequently observed in slant correction of handwritten Korean strings with conventional approaches developed for English/European languages. Extracted strokes from a line of text image are classified into two clusters by applying the K-means clustering. Gaussian modeling is applied to each of the clusters and the slant angle is estimated from the model which represents the vertical strokes. Experimental results support the effectiveness of the proposed method. For the performance comparison 1,300 handwritten address string images were used, and the results show that the proposed method has more superior performance than other conventional approaches.

Recently, it is widely progressed that the research of the performance improvement of an intelligent vehicle. Among them, its parking problem has attracted a great deal of attention and have been examined in many papers in the literature. In this paper we design a fuzzy logic based parking system at the slant parking space which is a important part for designing an autonomous parking system. We first design a parking path for the slant space and propose a fuzzy logic based parking algorithm. We present its simulation results and show the effectiveness of the proposed method.

This paper presents an efficient method for estimationg and correcting the slant of off-line handwritten Hangul strings.In the proposed method,after extracting contours from input image.Hough tranform is applied to the contours to detect lines and estimate slants of the lines.When Hough trans form is applied to the contours,pixels which are not parts of the same stroke could be detected as a line.In order to exclude these lines from slant estimation process,detected lines which have the length less than threshold are eliminated.Experiments have been performed with address images which were extracted from live envelopes provided by Seoul Mail Center.Experimental results show that the proposed method is superior to the previous methods,which had been done with handwritten English strings.in estimation the slant of off-line handwritten Hangul strings.

In this paper, the difference in modulation transfer function (MTF) results according to the change in the angle of a slant target when measuring a presampled MTF was confirmed, and the difference was reduced by fitting the edge spread function graph obtained to reduce the error by the target's rotation. Due to the feature of the presampled MTF method, the spatial frequency changed due to the sensor's projected intensity being changed by the target's rotation, and it was confirmed that the difference in the MTF value occurred depending on the rotation angle of the target. In this paper, the MTF was calculated after fitting only one column of the acquired image. It was confirmed that the rotation error is smaller compared to the case of the presampled MTF method and this fitting method can be applied to a scene that contains various target angles, such as auto-focusing using the MTF.

Variable thickness plates are commonly used as structural members in the majority of industrial sectors. Previous fracture mechanics researches on variable thickness plates were limited to mode I loading cases. In practice, however, cracks are usually located inclined to the loading direction. In this respect, combined mode(mode I/II) stress intensity factors $K_{I}$ and $K_{II}$ at the crack tip for a variable thickness plate were obtained by 3-dimensional finite element analysis. Variable thickness plates containing a slant edge crack were chosen. The parameters used in this study were dimensionless crack $length{\lambda}$, slant $angle{\alpha}$, thickness $ratio{\beta}$ and width ratio{\omega}$. Stress intensity factors were calculated by crack opening displacement(COD) and crack sliding displacement(CSD)method proposed by Ingraffea and Manu.

General Hyperspectral Image Sensor acquires an image of line form such as a thin rectangle shape because of using 1D array Push Broom or Whisk Broom scanning method. A special mechanism is required for a Hyperspectral Image Sensor to operate for nadir and slant range. To design the mechanism, the characteristics of the flight motion and the overlap rate between consecutive frames were analyzed. Also, system requirements were proposed through modeling and simulation.

The dynamic modulation transfer function (MTF) for image degradation caused by sinusoidal vibration is formulated based on a Bessel function of the first kind. The presented method makes it possible to obtain an analytical MTF expression derived for arbitrary frequency sinusoidal vibration. The error obtained by the use of finite order sum approximations instead of infinite sums is investigated in detail. Dynamic MTF exhibits a stronger random behavior for low frequency vibration than high frequency vibration. The calculated MTFs agree well with the measured MTFs with the slant edge method in imaging experiments. With the proposed formula, allowable amplitudes of any frequency vibration are easily calculated. This is practical for the analysis and design of the line-of-sight stabilization system in the remote sensing camera.

We propose the simplified Kalman filter to track the area of human face efficiently in image sequences. We also devise the method of slant-compensation, so that the facial components could be extracted more accurately by using vertical and horizontal profiles of the compensated images. Finally, we show the effectiveness of the suggested method through experimental results.

This paper proposes one method on photometric stereo calibration using the constraint on light source directions in which the light sources have the unknown tilt and slant angles but the slant angles are the same. First, the constraint is analyzed based on the equation of linear ambiguity which leads to the conclusion that another constraint should be added to solve the calibration completely. Later, the combination of constraint on light source directions and the constraint that there exists at least six surface patches having known albedos is exploited to resolve the linear ambiguity up to an accurate and close-form solution. The effective performance of the proposed method is demonstrated through experiment results.
