  • 23 hallux valgus patients were evaluated with clinical examinations and plantar pressure distribution measurements. A masking method for detailed plantar pressure distribution analyses was suggested. With higher grade of hallux valgus, pressure, contact length & area, and impulse on metartasus were significantly increased. Localized pressure concentration is very important in foot diseases and appropriate plantar pressure distributions should be considered on any shoe design.

  • 현재 수열합성법으로 이용하여 1차원으로 수직 성장한 ZnO 나노와이어는 밴드 갭이 3.37ev로 큰 밴드 갭을 갖는 물질이며 밀도 조절이 매우 어려운 것으로 알려져 있다. ZnO 나노와이어는 기존의 리소그래피 기반을 둔 Top-Down 방식과 달리 자발적인 형성과정으로 높은 결정성을 가지게 되는데, 이는 ZnO 나노와이어가 큰 종횡비 와 전자친화도를 가지고 있어 높은 전계방출 효과를 기대하게 되는 부분이다. 본 연구에서는 실버를 열처리하여 형성된 실버 나노파티클을 마스킹층으로 사용하여 ZnO 나노와어의 밀도 조절을 하고자 하였다. 실버막을 AZO seed layer 기판 위에 증착한뒤 $200{\sim}600^{\circ}C$ 까지 열처리 후 수열합성법을 이용하여 ZnO nanowire를 성장하였다. 또한 전구체인 ZN(NO3)2${\cdot}$6H2O 와 HMT 에 각각 Ammonium chloride와 PEI를 첨가하였고, PEI 의 몰농도를 변화하여 성장된 ZnO 나노와이어의 구조적, 광학적 특성을 평가함으로서 전자소자 적용 가능성을 확인하였다.

  • 스펙트럼 차감과정에서 발생하는 잔류 잡음을 제거하는 방법으로 파라메터를 이용하는 적응 스펙트럼 차감법이 있다. 이는 파라메터를 증가시켜 잔류 잡음을 감소시키는 방법이지만 파라메터를 과도하게 증가시킬 경우 음성 왜곡이 발생한다. 따라서, 적절한 파라메터를 추출하기 위하여 SNR이나, 마스킹 효과 등을 이용한 방법들이 제안되었으나 과도한 잡음의 제거로 인한 음성 왜곡 문제와 낮은 SNR에서 부정확한 파라메터의 추출 문제는 여전히 해결해야 할 과제로 남아있다. 본 논문은 기존의 SNR을 이용한 방법에 마스킹 효과를 적용한 수정된 적응 스펙트럼 차감법을 제안한다. 제안된 방법에서는 마스킹 임계치를 이용하여 잡음 추정값을 재 계산 항으로써 SNR을 향상시켰고, 이를 이용하여 파라메터를 추출함으로써 성능을 개선했다 성능평가 결과, 제안한 차감법을 적용한 음성신호를 고립단어 음성인식 시스템에 적용했을 때 기존의 방법 보다 인식률이 향상된 것을 확인할 수 있었다.

  • 본 논문에서는 인간의 시각 특성을 고려한 시각 적응적 DCT 영상 압축 방법이 제안되었다. 인간의 시각 체계의 특성 중 복잡한 영사이나 대비효과(contrast)가 큰 부분에서는 압축과정에서 발생한 왜곡이 쉽게 눈에 인지되지 않는 특성을 갖는 공간적 마스킹(spatial masking)을 이용하여 영상의 질을 어느정도 유지하면서 적응적 압축 방법에 의해 압축율을 보다 높이는 방법을 제시하였다. DCT 변환 블록에서 경계영역 정보를 많이 포함하는 부분을 추출한 후 이 영역은 다른 영역에 비해 복잡도가 더 높고 경계성분의 대비효과가 더 크기 때문에 이 영역의 분산을 취해 이 값에 따라 적응적으로 양자화한다. 실험결과, 제안된 영상 압축 알고리즘은 기존의 시각 적응적 압축 방법보다 좋은 성능을 보이며 특히 고주파 성분을 많이 가진 복잡한 영상에 대하여 높은 압축률을 보였다.

  • In the NLP field, the pre-training model BERT launched by the Google team in 2018 has shown amazing results in various tasks in the NLP field. Subsequently, many variant models have been derived based on the original BERT, such as RoBERTa, ERNIEBERT and so on. In this paper, the WWMBERT (Whole Word Masking BERT) model suitable for Chinese text tasks was used as the baseline model of our experiment. The experiment is mainly for "Text-level Chinese text classification tasks" are improved, which mainly combines Tapt (Task-Adaptive Pretraining) and "Multi-Sample Dropout method" to improve the model, and compare the experimental results, experimental data sets and model scoring standards Both are consistent with the official WWMBERT model using Accuracy as the scoring standard. The official WWMBERT model uses the maximum and average values of multiple experimental results as the experimental scores. The development set was 97.70% (97.50%) on the "text-level Chinese text classification task". and 97.70% (97.50%) of the test set. After comparing the results of the experiments in this paper, the development set increased by 0.35% (0.5%) and the test set increased by 0.31% (0.48%). The original baseline model has been significantly improved.

  • Preliminary results are reported on ship detection using coherence images computed from cross-correlating images of multi-look-processed dual-polarization data (HH and HV) of ENVISAT ASAR. The traditional techniques of ship detection by radars such as CFAR (Constant False Alarm Rate) rely on the amplitude data, and therefore the detection tends to become difficult when the amplitudes of ships images are at similar level as the mean amplitude of surrounding sea clutter. The proposed method utilizes the property that the multi-look images of ships are correlated with each other. Because the inter-look images of sea surface are covered by uncorrelated speckle, cross-correlation of multi-look images yields the different degrees of coherence between the images and water. In this paper, the polarimetric information of ships, land and intertidal zone are first compared based on the cross-correlation between HH and HV images, In the next step, we examine the technique when the dual-polarization data are split into two multi-look images, It was shown that the inter-look cross-correlation method could be applicable in the performance improvement of small ship detection and the land masking, It was also found that a simple combination of coherence images from each co-polarised (HH) inter-look and cross-polarised (HV) inter-look data can provide much higher target-detection possibilities.

  • This paper proposes a method that automatically extracts characteristics of cracks such as length, thickness and direction, etc., from a concrete surface image with image processing techniques. This paper, first, uses the closing morphologic operation to adjust the effect of light extending over the whole concrete surface image. After applying the high-pass filtering operation to sharpen boundaries of cracks, we classify intensity values of the image into 8 groups and remove intensity values belong to the highest frequency group among them for the removal of background. Then, we binarize the preprocessed image. The auxiliary lines used to measure cracks of concrete surface are removed from the binarized image with position information extracted by the histogram operation. Then, cracks broken by the removal of background are extended to reconstruct an original crack with the $5{\times}5$ masking operation. We remove unnecessary information by applying three types of noise removal operations successively and extracts areas of cracks from the binarized image. At last, the opening morphologic operation is applied to compensate extracted cracks and characteristics of cracks are measured on the compensated ones. Experiments using real images of concrete surface showed that the proposed method extracts cracks well and precisely measures characteristics of cracks.

  • It is necessary to estimate the range and Doppler shifted spectrum for the extraction of useful information from the return echoes in the frequency modulated continuous wave radar systems used for the remote sending purpose such as detection of moving targets. However, the spectrum estimation using the FFT method causes the very large sidolobes of clutter masking the essential signal information if the acquisition time of an echo signal is pretty short. Therefore, in this paper, the efficient data windowing method is investigated to suppress the strong sidelobe levels of the clutter and results are analyzed.

  • Multiple sequence alignment is a method to compare two or more DNA or protein sequences. Most of multiple sequence alignment tools rely on pairwise alignment and Smith-Waterman algorithm to generate an alignment hierarchy. Therefore, in the existing multiple alignment method as the number of sequences increases, the runtime increases exponentially. In order to remedy this problem, we adopted a parallel processing suffix tree algorithm that is able to search for common subsequences at one time without pairwise alignment. Also, the cross-matching subsequences triggering inexact-matching among the searched common subsequences might be produced. So, the cross-matching masking process was suggested in this paper. To identify the function of the clusters generated by suffix tree clustering, BLAST and CDD (Conserved Domain Database)search were combined with a clustering tool. Our clustering and annotating tool consists of constructing suffix tree, overlapping common subsequences, clustering gene sequences and annotating gene clusters by BLAST and CDD search. The system was successfully evaluated with 36 gene sequences in the pentose phosphate pathway, clustering 10 clusters, finding out representative common subsequences, and finally identifying functional domains by searching CDD database.
