This study focuses on the radiometric normalization, which is one of the pre-processing steps to apply the change detection technique fur hyperspectral images. The PIFs which had radiometric consistency under the time interval were automatically extracted by applying spectral angle, and used as sample pixels for linear regression of the radiometric normalization. We also dealt with the problem about the number of PIFs for linear regression with iteratively quantitative methods. The results were assessed in comparison with image regression, histogram matching, and FLAASH. In conclusion, we show that linear regression method with PIFs can carry out the efficient result for radiometric normalization.

There has been an increasing demand on measurement of the vibration levels in commercial truck shipments, where all packaged products are exposed to some levels of random vibration and shock. In this study, bear glass bottles loaded at the front, middle, and rear positions of 11 tonne truck bed was shipped from Kwangju to Waegouan. Vertical direction vibration levels were analysed and matching laboratory random vibration test was performed using power spectral density (PSD) profiles derived from truck transit records. Also, the effects of drop hight on glass bottles were evaluated. As expected, the maximum vibration levels were recorded at the rear of truck bed. No breakage of bottles were observed during truck transit and laboratory random vibration testing set at 0.52 $G_{rms}$. In drop test, glass bottles were not damaged by bottom side impact, while short side drop impact caused about twice higher bottle breakage rate than that of long side drop impact at 30 cm and 40 cm drop hight.

Since PAN(panchromatic) and MS(multispectral) imagery of pushbroom scanner have the offset between PAN and MS CCD(charge coupled device) in the focal plane, PAN and MS images are acquired at different time and angle. Since clouds are fast moving objects, they should lead mis-registration problem with wrong matching points on clouds. The registration of cloudy imagery to recognize and remove the contamination of clouds can be categorized into three classes: (1) cloud is considered as nose and removed (2) employing multi-spectral imagery (3) using multi-temporal imagery. In this paper, method (1) and (3) are implemented and analysed with cloudy pushbroom scanner images.

As high quality digital cameras become readily available, digital cameras are being used not only for simple picture recording but also as information storing media in various fields. However, due to the fact that the spectral responses of the camera sensors are different from color matching functions of the CIE standard observer, the color can not be measured using these cameras. This study shows a method for converting camera image to sRGB image, in which color information is preserved. The transfer matrix between camera output signals and CIE stimulus values was determined using a multiple regression method with Macbeth ColorChecker as target colors. The CIE stimulus values for camera output signals can be mapped with a transfer matrix, and these values are converted to sRGB signals. As the result of testing a Kodak DC220 digital camera, the average color difference of Macbeth ColorChecker between true and displayed colors was 2.1 $\Delta$ $E_{ab}$ $^{*}$.$^{*}$.

PURPOSE. Perceived color of ceramics changes by the spectral power distribution of ambient light. This study aimed to quantify the amount of shifts in color and color coordinates of clinically simulated seven all-ceramics due to the switch of three ambient light sources using a human vision simulating spectroradiometer. MATERIALS AND METHODS. CIE color coordinates, such as $L^*$, $a^*$ and $b^*$, of ceramic specimens were measured under three light sources, which simulate the CIE standard illuminant D65 (daylight), A (incandescent lamp), and F9 (fluorescent lamp). Shifts in color and color coordinate by the switch of lights were determined. Influence of the switched light (D65 to A, or D65 to F9), shade of veneer ceramics (A2 or A3), and brand of ceramics on the shifts was analyzed by a three-way ANOVA. RESULTS. Shifts in color and color coordinates were influenced by three factors (P<.05). Color shifts by the switch to A were in the range of 5.9 to 7.7 ${\Delta}E{^*}_{ab}$ units, and those by the switch to F9 were 7.7 to 10.2; all of which were unacceptable (${\Delta}E{^*}_{ab}$ > 5.5). When switched to A, CIE $a^*$ increased (${\Delta}a^*$: 5.6 to 7.6), however, CIE $b^*$ increased (${\Delta}b^*$: 4.9 to 7.8) when switched to F9. CONCLUSION. Clinically simulated ceramics demonstrated clinically unacceptable color shifts according to the switches in ambient lights based on spectroradiometric readings. Therefore, shade matching and compatibility evaluation should be performed considering ambient lighting conditions and should be done under most relevant lighting condition.

Base-isolation is now being adopted as a retrofitting strategy to improve seismic behaviour of reinforced concrete (r.c.) framed structures subjected to far-fault earthquakes. However, the increase in deformability of a base-isolated framed building may lead to amplification in the structural response under the long-duration horizontal pulses of high-magnitude near-fault earthquakes, which can become critical once the strength level of a fire-weakened r.c. superstructure is reduced. The aim of the present work is to investigate the nonlinear seismic response of fire-damaged r.c. framed structures retrofitted by base-isolation. For this purpose, a five-storey r.c. framed building primarily designed (as fixed-base) in compliance with a former Italian seismic code for a medium-risk zone, is to be retrofitted by the insertion of elastomeric bearings to meet the requirements of the current Italian code in a high-risk seismic zone. The nonlinear seismic response of the original (fixed-base) and retrofitted (base-isolated) test structures in a no fire situation are compared with those in the event of fire in the superstructure, where parametric temperature-time curves are defined at the first level, the first two and the upper levels. A lumped plasticity model describes the inelastic behaviour of the fire-damaged r.c. frame members, while a nonlinear force-displacement law is adopted for the elastomeric bearings. The average root-mean-square deviation of the observed spectrum from the target design spectrum together with a suitable intensity measure are chosen to select and scale near- and far-fault earthquakes on the basis of the design hypotheses adopted.

This paper dealt with the application of a numerical method developed by the authors using the matching method proposed in the previous paper on "The Nonlinear motions of cylinders(I)[16]", and Cauchy's theorem to the problems associated with hydrodynamic forces acting on a heaving cylinders translating in a calm water and also motions of cylinders in waves. In spectral method. body boundary condition in submerged case is satisfied exactly but one in floating case is not satisfied exactly. In the numerical code developed here, the boundary condition at the free-surface and body surface is satisfied exactly at its instaneous position. It is of interest to note that the present scheme could be applied to a free-surface-piercing body without experiencing a difficulty in the numerical convergence. The computed results are compared with other results([6], [12]).

Coherent tunable terahertz generation was demonstrated in periodically poled stoichiometric lithium tantalate crystal via difference frequency generation of femtosecond laser pulses. Simultaneous forward and backward terahertz radiations were obtained around 1.35 and 0.63 THz, respectively at low temperature. By cooling the crystal to reduce losses caused by phonon absorptions, the generated THz bandwidth was as narrow as 23GHz at the center frequency of 0.63 THz. The measurement result of temperature-dependent showed gradual intensity increase of the generated terahertz pulse and red shift of the center frequency as the temperature decrease from 291 to 143 K, but insignificant reduction of the spectral bandwidth. Furthermore, the stoichiometric crystal was very suitable for the suppression of THz loss at low temperature compared to the congruent $LiNbO_3$ crystal.

In this paper, we derive a spectral function and a new impedance profile of non-uniform tapered transmission lines by applying the Fourier transform to a linearized Riccati equation. We compensate the error which is from a linearized Riccati equation by adding a Taylor series to the impedance profile. Added terms remove discontinuities In the impedance profile at both ends of the non-uniform section. We show that a calculated spectrum approaches to a target spectrum of filter by an iterative method and numerical examples are given to illustrate the role of the phase function. As the design method which is shown in present paper provides a excellent adaptability for the design of non-uniform tapered transmission lines, the present method can be applied to design filters and impedance matching circuits with various passband characteristics.

The selection of appropriate ground motions and reasonable modification are becoming increasingly critical in reliable prediction on seismic performance of structures. A widely used amplitude scaling approach is not sufficient for robust structural evaluation considering a site specific seismic hazard because only one spectral value is matched to the design spectrum typically at the structural fundamental period. Hence alternative approaches for ground motion selection and modifications have been suggested. However, there is no means to evaluate such methodologies yet. In this study, it is focused to describe the main questions resided in the amplitude scaling approach and to propose a regression model for structural damage as point of comparison. Spectrum compatible approach whose resulting spectrum matches the design spectrum at the entire range of the structural period is considered as alternative to be compared to the amplitude scaling approach. The design spectrum is generated according to ASCE7-05.
