This paper proposes a new guidance law, which considers the Field of View (FOV) of the seeker when a missile has a strapdown seeker mounted instead of a gimbal seeker. When a strapdown seeker, which has a narrow FOV, is used for tracking a target, the FOV of the seeker is an important consideration for guidance performance metrics such as miss distance. We propose a new guidance law called hybrid guidance (HG) to address the shortcomings of conventional guidance laws such as proportional navigation guidance (PNG), which cannot maintain lock-on conditions against high speed targets due to the narrow FOV of the strapdown seeker. The aim of the HG law is to null miss distance and to maintain the look angle within the FOV of the strapdown seeker. In order to achieve this goal, we combine two guidance laws in the HG law. One is a PNG law to null the LOS rate, and the other is a sliding mode guidance (SMG) law derived to keep the look angle within the FOV by employing a Lyapunov-like function with a sliding mode control methodology. We also propose a method to switch these two guidance laws at certain look angles for better guidance performance.

Sliced inverse regression is a method for reducing the dimension of the explanatory variable X without going through any parametric or nonparametric model fitting process. This method explores the simplicity of the inverse view of regression; that is, instead of regressing the univariate output varable y against the multivariate X, we regress X against y. In this article, we propose bivariate sliced inverse regression, whose method regress the multivariate X against the bivariate output variables $y_1, Y_2$. Bivariate sliced inverse regression estimates the e.d.r. directions of satisfying two generalized regression model simultaneously. For the application of bivariate sliced inverse regression, we decompose the output variable y into two variables, one variable y gained by projecting the output variable y onto the column space of X and the other variable r through projecting the output variable y onto the space orthogonal to the column space of X, respectively and then estimate the e.d.r. directions of the generalized regression model by utilize two variables simultaneously. As a result, bivariate sliced inverse regression of considering the variable y and r simultaneously estimates the e.d.r. directions efficiently and steadily when the regression model is linear, quadratic and nonlinear, respectively.

A dye-edge tracking algorithm was used to determine the corresponding points in the two images(anterior-posterior and lateral) of the digital subtraction biplane angiography. This correspondence was used to reconstruct three dimensional images of cerebral artery in a dog experiment. The method was tested by comparing the measured image of oblique view with the computed reconstructed image. For the present study, we have developed three new algorithms. The first algorithm is to determine the corresponding dye-edge points using the fact the dye density at the moving edge avows the same changing pattern in the two projection views. This moving pattern of dye-edge density is computed using a matching method of cross-correlation for the two sequential frames' dye density. The second algorithm is for simplified perspective transformation, and the third one is to identify the specific corresponding points on the small vessels. The present method can be applied to compute the blood velocity using the dye-edge displacement and the three- dimensional distance data.

New method about the dose optimization problem in radiation treatment was researched. Since all conditions are more complex and there are more relevant variables, the solution of three-dimensional treatment planning is much more complicate than that of current two-dimensional one. There(ore, in this study, as a method to solve three-dimensional dose optimization problem, the considered variables was minized and researched by reducing the domain that solutions can exist and pre-determining the important beam parameters. First, the dangerous beam range that passes critical organ was found by coordinate transformation between linear accelerator coordinate and patient coordinate. And the beam size and rotation angle for rectangular collimator that conform tumor at arbitrary beam position was also determined. As a result, the available beam position could be reduced and the dependency on beam size and rotation angle, that is very important parameter in treatment planning, totally removed. Therefore, the resultant combinations of relevant variables could be greatly reduced and the dose optimization by objective function can be done with minimum variables. From the above results, the dose optimization problem was solved for the two-dimensional radiation treatment planning useful in clinic. The objective function was made by combination of dose gradient, critical organ dose and dose homogeniety. And the optimum variables were determined by applying step search method to objective function. From the dose distributions by optimum variables, the merit of new dose optimization method was verified and it can be implemented on commercial radiation treatment planning system with further research.

In this paper, the problem of a viewer's head tracking in a desktop-based interactive stereoscopic display system is considered. A fast and low-cost approach to the problem is important for such a computing environment. The system under consideration utilizes a shuttle glass for stereoscopic display. The proposed method makes use of an image taken from a single low-cost video camera. By using a simple feature extraction algorithm, the obtained points corresponding to the image of the user-worn shuttle glass are used to estimate the glass center, its local 'yaw' angle, as measured with respect to the glass center, and its global 'yaw' angle as measured with respect to the camera location. With these estimations, the stereoscopic image synthetic program utilizes those values to interactively adjust the two-view stereoscopic image pair as displayed on a computer screen. The adjustment is carried out such that the so-obtained stereoscopic picture, when viewed from a current user position, provides a close-to-real perspective and depth perception. However, because the algorithm and device used are designed for fast computation, the estimation is typically not precise enough to provide a flicker-free interactive viewing. An error concealment method is thus proposed to alleviate the problem. This concealment method should be sufficient for applications that do not require a high degree of visual realism and interaction.

This experiment Was carried out under two points of view, from May 1st to the end of 1973. One was the comparative determination of the activation factor of Lead dioxide by kinds in measuring of Sulfur oxides concentration by $PbO_2$ cylinder method, and the other was the comparison that result with the record of auto analyzer. Five measuring sites were selected out of Seoul City. Three kinds of Lead dioxide made in Japan (B,C and D) were compared with Standard $PbO_2$ (A for use in Determination of Sulphur in the atmosphere, purity 99% up) made in British Institution, and monthly measuring was conducted at every sampling site. The recording by auto analyzer (Beckman Model 906-A $SO_2$ Analyzer) was conducted once or twice a month for 24 hours at each sampling site during the same period. And some significant results were obtained. 1. In comparative experiments to determine the activation degree of three kinds of Lead dioxide (B,C and D), the obtained correction factor of B reagent was 1.09, 1.16 in C and 1.30 in D against Standard $PbO_2$ (A). Therefore, it should be in need of standardization or clear statement about the reagents for use, in determination sulfur oxides by $PbO_2$ cylinder method. 2. Generally, the concentration of Sulfur dioxide by wilkins' convertion method from $SO_3$ showed about 20-30% higher than those by Auto analyzer.

The trend analysis of the study was acquired by selecting multiyear monthly groundwater table data and monitors the wells in each sub-district under the study area. The intention of this research was to analyze the outcome of the non-parametric Mann-Kendall test at greater than the significance level which is 95% of groundwater level in Sylhet. The aptitude is effective at two conjunctures where the confidence bounds are 95% and it meets the estimate line of Sen's. To calculate and assess the spatial differences in the inanition of groundwater table, geostatistical methods was applied based on data from 27 groundwater wells during the period from January 1975 to December 2011 which were obtained from a secondary source, Bangladesh Water Development Board. The geographic information system was used to assess the spatial change in order to find the level of groundwater. Cross-validation errors were found within an advisable level in estimating the groundwater depth with different interpolation models of ordinary kriging methods. Finally, surface maps were generated with the best-fitted model. The southeast region was found highly vulnerable from groundwater level point of view. Northern region was detected highest hazard prone area for diverge groundwater using kriging method.

A new design method of the microwave multisection impedance transformer is proposed. This method is based on the inverse scattering theory using the frequency domain reflection coefficient of the transformer to be designed. In the first step, the permittivity profile of a virtual one-dimensional dielectric medium is reconstructed using the desired reflection coefficient. In the second step, the transformer which is equivalent to the reconstructed dielectric medium in view of reflection characteristics is synthesized. Theoretically, this method can be used to design the impedance matching transformers with arbitrary passband characteristics within the limit of the Bode-Fano criteria[1]. Our approach is examined for two design examples to show that it is valid.

Human detection is an important aspect in many video-based sensing and monitoring systems. Studies have been actively conducted for the automatic detection of humans in camera images, and various methods have been proposed. However, there are still problems in terms of performance and computational cost. In this paper, we describe a method for efficient human detection in the field of view of a camera, which may be static or moving, through multiple processing steps. A detection line is designated at the position where a human appears first in a sensing area, and only the one-dimensional gray pixel values of the line are monitored. If any noticeable change occurs in the detection line, corner detection and optical flow computation are performed in the vicinity of the detection line to confirm the change. When significant changes are observed in the corner numbers and optical flow vectors, the final determination of human presence in the monitoring area is performed using the Histograms of Oriented Gradients method and a Support Vector Machine. The proposed method requires processing only specific small areas of two consecutive gray images. Furthermore, this method enables operation not only in a static condition with a fixed camera, but also in a dynamic condition such as an operation using a camera attached to a moving vehicle.
