This paper describes the effect of step bilge on motion characteristics of FPSO. The purpose of the present study is to investigate motion responses of FPSO with two types of step bilge. Model test result shows that the performance of the bottom type step bilge, that is designed to avoid collision, is as good as that of the side type step bilge.

A new actuating mechanism suitable for a micro positioning device is developed using piezo-electric elements. The actuator can make a step movement of 0.5 .mu. m up to 3.5 .mu. m. The step size can be adjusted on demand. By repeating this step action, long distance movement is achieved. Precise positioning can be obtained by combining the coarse motion with the maximum step size and fine motion. Two types of fine motion have been proposed for a driving method. Firstly, feedback control bases on PID is applied. The experimental results for the two method are presented.

NTSS 알고리즘 (New Three-Step Search Algorithm)은 대표적인 고속 블록 정합 알고리즘(Block Matching Algorithm: BMA)의 하나인 TSS 알고리즘 (Three-Step Search Algorithm)에 동영상이 갖는 중앙 편향적(Center-Biased) 특성을 반영한 방법이다. 그러나 NTSS는 움직임이 작은 동영상인 경우에는 TSS보다 개선된 성능을 보여주지만, 움직임이 큰 동영상에 대해서는 TSS와 큰 차이가 없으며, 탐색범위가 커질수록 오히려 성능이 떨어지는 단점이 있다 본 논문에서는 움직임 벡터의 특성에 따라 적응적으로 탐색범위를 결정하여 탐색범위의 증가로 발생되는 NTSS의 단점을 보완함으로써 움직임이 큰 동영상에 대해서도 향상된 성능을 갖는 방법을 제안한다. 제안한 방법을 적용하였을 때 움직임이 작은 동영상에서는 기존 NTSS 방법과 동일한 화질을 유지하면서 움직임이 큰 동영상에서는 최대 0.5dB 이상 성능이 개선되었다.

In this paper, we address the tracking problem caused by camera motion and rolling shutter effects associated with CMOS sensors in consumer handheld cameras, such as mobile cameras, digital cameras, and digital camcorders. A modified particle filtering method is proposed for simultaneously tracking objects and compensating for the effects of camera motion. The proposed method uses an elastic registration algorithm (ER) that considers the global affine motion as well as the brightness and contrast between images, assuming that camera motion results in an affine transform of the image between two successive frames. By assuming that the camera motion is modeled globally by an affine transform, only the global affine model instead of the local model was considered. Only the brightness parameter was used in intensity variation. The contrast parameters used in the original ER algorithm were ignored because the change in illumination is small enough between temporally adjacent frames. The proposed particle filtering consists of the following four steps: (i) prediction step, (ii) compensating prediction state error based on camera motion estimation, (iii) update step and (iv) re-sampling step. A larger number of particles are needed when camera motion generates a prediction state error of an object at the prediction step. The proposed method robustly tracks the object of interest by compensating for the prediction state error using the affine motion model estimated from ER. Experimental results show that the proposed method outperforms the conventional particle filter, and can track moving objects robustly in consumer handheld imaging devices.

We present an efficient block-based motion estimation algorithm with motion analysis. The motion analysis determines a size of search pattern and a maximum repeated count of search pattern. In case of large movement in large image, we reduce search points and the local minimum which caused by low performance. The proposed algorithm employs with searching step of 2. The first step determines an initial search point with neighbor block vector and a size of initial search pattern. The second step determines a size of search pattern and a maximum repeated count with motion analysis. We improve motion prediction accuracy while reducing required computational complexity compared to other fast block-based motion estimation algorithms.

The methods that track and detect motion field based on image difference of successive images from camera can separate motion field and background effectively, but because of noise and background images getting proper difference images is hard to achieve. In this paper we propose a method that can improve difference image quality significantly. Three step process is used. At the first step, existence of motion field is determined, the second step is finding proper threshold value using 'Contrast Streching' technique which enables us to find proper motion field even in complex images. At last step, remaining noise is removed and motion field is determined.

A New concept for the LNG-FPSO ship, with moonpool and bilge step in bottom, is proposed. This concept is investigated with regard to motion reduction and sloshing phenomena of the cargo and operation tanks. The principal dimensions of the ship are $L\timesb B\times D\times t(design)=270.0\times51.0\times32.32\times13.7(m)$, with a total cargo capacity of 161KT; a 98% loading condition is considered for this study. The moonpools and rectangular step at the bilge have been designed for the purpose of decreasing the motion within the tank. For the motion analysis, linearized three-dimensional diffraction theory, with the simplified boundary condition was used. The six-degree of freedom coupled motion responses were calculated for the LNG-FPSO ship. Viscous effects on the roll motion responses of a vessel were taken into account in this calculation program, using an empirical formula suggested by Himeno(1981). The case study for the moonpool size has been conducted using theoretical estimation and the experimental method. For the optimization of the moonpool size and effect of the bilge step, 9 cases of its size, both with and without bilge step, were involved in the study. no motion responses, especially roll motion, for the designed LNG-FPSO ships are much lower than those of other drill ships and shuttle tankers. The limit criterions are satisfied. To check the cargo tank and operation tank sizes, we performed a sloshing analysis in the irregular waves which focuses on the pressure distribution on the tank wall and the time history of pressure and free surface for No.2 and 5 tanks of LNG-FPSO with chamfers. Finally, optimum tank sire was estimated.

본 논문에서는 인접 블록 움직임 벡터의 통계적 특성을 이용한 가변 탐색 스텝의 고속 움직임 추정 기법에 대해 제안한다. 인접 블록 움직임 벡터들 사이의 상관 관계를 이용하여 움직임 추정을 위한 탐색 영역을 적응적으로 결정하였으며, 이를 통해 불필요한 탐색 지점 수를 제거할 수 있었다. 이와 같이 결정된 탐색 영역을 기반으로 가변 탐색 스텝 움직임 추정을 적용하였으며 움직임 추정을 위한 연산량을 줄일 수 있었다. 실험 결과를 통해 제안 방식이 H.264 JM의 고속 전 대역 spiral 탐색 기법과 기타 고속 움직임 추정 방식과 비교하여 부호화 성능의 저하 없이 움직임 추정을 위한 탐색 지점 수 및 연산 량이 급격히 감소됨을 확인할 수 있었다.

The three-step search (TSS) algorithm for block motion estimation has been widely used in real-time video coding due to the simplicity of the algorithm significant reduction of computationl cost and good performance. In this paper an improved three-step search (ITS) algorithm is proposed to improve the performance of the TSS algorithm. Simulation results show that in terms of motion compensation errors the proposed ITSS outperforms some popular fast search algorithms while it has the lower computational complexity.

본 논문에서는 연속영상에서 움직이는 객체의 motion에 기반하여 영상을 분할하는 새로운 알고리즘을 제안하였다. 전체적인 분할 과정은 2단계로 구성되어진다. 첫 단계는 '픽셀 레이블링' 단계이며, 두 번째 단계는 'motion 분할' 단계이다. '픽셀 레이블링' 단계에서는 optical flow에 의해 발생하는 속도 벡터들의 크기에 따라 영상의 각 픽셀에 레이블을 부여한다. 'Motion 분할' 단계에서는 첫 단계에서 생겨난 불필요한 잡음을 제거하기 위해 motion 필드를 마코프 랜덤 필드로 모델링하여 에너지 최소화를 통해 motion을 분할한다. 실험결과, 제안된 알고리즘이 연속영상에서 움직이는 객체의 motion을 효율적으로 분할함을 확인할 수 있었다.
