This study presents an automatic matching method for generating a dense, accurate, and discontinuity-preserved digital surface model (DSM) using multiple images acquired by an aerial digital frame camera. The proposed method consists of two main procedures: area-based multi-image matching (AMIM) and stereo-pair epipolar line matching (SELM). AMIM evaluates the sum of the normalized cross correlation of corresponding image points from multiple images to determine the optimal height of an object point. A novel method is introduced for determining the search height range and incremental height, which are necessary for the vertical line locus used in the AMIM. This procedure also includes the means to select the best reference and target images for each strip so that multi-image matching can resolve the common problem over occlusion areas. The SELM extracts densely positioned distinct points along epipolar lines from the multiple images and generates a discontinuity-preserved DSM using geometric and radiometric constraints. The matched points derived by the AMIM are used as anchor points between overlapped images to find conjugate distinct points using epipolar geometry. The performance of the proposed method was evaluated for several different test areas, including urban areas.

The method of the Laplace transform has been used to obtain an analytical solution of the three-dimensional steady state advection diffusion equation for the airborne radionuclide release from any nuclear installation such as the power reactor in an area source. The present treatment takes into account the removal of the pollutants through the nuclear reaction. We assume that the pollutants are emitted as a constant rate from the area source. This physical consideration is achieved by assuming that the vertical eddy diffusivity coefficient should be a constant. The prevailing wind speed is a constant in 𝑥- direction and a linear function of the vertical height z. The present model calculations are compared with the other models and the available data of the atmospheric dispersion experiments that were carried out in the nuclear power plant of Angra dos Reis (Brazil). The results show that the present treatment performs well as the analytical dispersion model and there is a good agreement between the values computed by our model and the observed data.

Depending upon the eye and head movement, the visual field is often classified into three categories ; stationary field, eye field and head and eye field. To investigate the effect of background condition on the size of the visual field, an experiment was conducted, in which the subject was instructed to search a target with distinct orientations. In each trial, a single target was presented on the perimeter modified to cover the range of 330 .deg. around the fixation point, with the visual angle subtended 1.4 .deg. vertically and horizontally. Nontarget density, meridian, size contrast and subject showed a significant effect on the visual field at .alpha. =0.01, where density was inversely proportional to the size of the visual field, and size contrast linearly proportional to the size of the visual field. The size of the visual field on horizontal axis was larger than that on vertical axis, and that on right and upper meridian was also larger than on left and lower meridian. The shape was found to be horizontally oriented oval and statistically asymmetric with respect to horizontal and vertical axes. In addition, the regression equations to predict the visual field on the given background condition were suggested. These results were expected to be used as a design guideline when arranging displays and controls on panels such as automobile display panels, cockpits, etc.

Mobility is one of the most important issues for search and rescue robots. To increase mobility for small size robot we have focused on the mechanism and algorithm inspired from centipede. In spite of small size, using many legs and flexible long body, centipede can overcome high obstacles and move in rough terrains stably. This research focused on those points and imitated their legs and body that are good for obstacle negotiation. Based on similarity of a centipede's legs and tracks, serially connected tracks are used for climbing obstacles higher than the robot's height. And a centipede perceives environments using antennae on its head instead of eyes. Inspired from that, 3 IR sensors are attached on the front, top and bottom of the first module to imitate the antenna. Using the information gotten from the sensors, the robot decides next behavior automatically. In experiments, the robot can climb up to 45 cm height vertical wall and it is 600 % of the robot's height and 58 % of the robot's length.

In this paper, we study on finding the rail space in elevators by analyzing each image captured with CCD camera. We propose a method that applies one-dimensional matched filter to the pixels of a selected search space in the vertical line at a horizontal position and decides the position with the thickness of the space being represented by a black thick line in captured images. The pattern similarity representing how strongly the associated image pixels resemble with the thick line is defined and calculated with respect to each position along the vertical line of pixels. The position and thickness of the line are decided from the point having the maximum in pattern similarity graph. In the experiments of the proposed method under different illuminational conditions, it is observed that all the pattern similarity graphs show similar shape around door area independent of the conditions and the method can effectively detect the rail space if the rails are illuminated with even weak light. The method can be used for real-time embedded systems because of its simple algorithm, in which it is implemented in simple structure of program with small amount of operations in comparison with the conventional approaches using Canny edge detection and Hough transform.

Recently, studies have been carried out to develop unmanned Micro Air Vehicles(MAVs) that can search and monitor inside buildings during urban warfare or rescue operations in hazardous environments. However, existing fixed-wing and rotary-wing MAVs cannot travel at extremely low or high speeds, hover in place, or change directions instantly. This has lead researches to search for other flight methods that could overcome those drawbacks. Insect flight principles and its applications to MAVs are being studied as an alternative flight method. To take flight, insects flap and rotate their wings. These wing motions allow for high maneuverability flight such as hovering, vertical take off and landing, and quick acceleration and deceleration. This paper proposes a method for designing a mechanism that reproduces hovering insect flight, the basis for all other forms of insect flight. The design of a mechanism that can reproduce the motion that causes maximum lift is proposed, the required specifications are calculated, and a method for reproducing hovering insect flight with a single motor is presented. Also, feasibility of the design was confirmed by simulation.

본 논문에서는 CCD(charge-coupled device) 영상 기반의 자동 표적 탐지 시스템(ATD System : Automatic Target Detection System)에 적합한 빠른 탐색 방법을 제안한다. 무기체계에서의 활용을 위해서는 빠른 연산이 주요한 변수인 만큼 이 논문에서는 적은 계산량으로 다양한 표적을 탐지할 수 있는 능력에 주안점을 두고 있다. 표적 훈련(train)단계에서는 구간별 수직 방향 프로젝션을 이용하여 1D의 템플릿을 구성하고 K-means clustering과 이진 트리 구조(binary tree structure)를 활용하여 실제 시험 단계에서 템플릿 정합하는 횟수를 최소화한다. 또한 Correlation-based Adaptive Predictive Search(CAPS)를 이용하여 각각의 템플릿에 적응적인 skip-width를 사용하여 탐색 속도를 높이고 클러터 제거 단계에서는 윤곽선으로부터 추출한 Fourier Descriptor계수를 비교함으로써 초기 탐지에서 타겟으로 오인된 클러터를 모양 정보에 기반해서 제거하는 방법을 사용한다.

본 논문에서는 메쉬 구조 다중컴퓨터 시스템의 성능을 향상시킬 수 있는 새로운 서브메쉬 할당방법을 제안한다. 이 할당방법의 특징은 가용 서브메쉬의 탐색시간과 외적단편화로 인한 서브메쉬의 할당지연을 최소화함으로써 태스크의 대기시간을 줄이는 것이다. 이 할당방법은 가용 서브메쉬를 유형(정방형, 가로 직사각형, 세로 직사각형)에 따라 분류하고, 태스크와 동일한 유형별 가용 서브메쉬 리스트에서 최적의 서브메쉬를 찾아 할당함으로써 서브메 쉬 탐색시간을 줄인다. 또한 외적단편화로 인해 서브메쉬의 할당지연이 발생하면할당 서브메쉬에서 수행중인 태스크를 다른 가용 서브메쉬에 재배치하고, 프로세서 단편을 통합하여 할당함으로써 서브메쉬의 할당지연을 최소화한다. 시뮬레이션을 통하여 서브메쉬 탐색시간을 줄이는 방법보다 외적단편화로 인한 서브메쉬의 할당지연을 줄이는 방법이 태스크의 대기시간을 단축하는데 더 효과적임을 보인다. 그리고 제안한 할당방법이 시스템의 성능 향상 면에서 기존의 할당방법들보다 우수함을 보인다.

It is the well-known truth that processing of raw information is needed to a certain extent during information search. Especially for Oriental Medical information, it becomes much clearer that even more complex processing is necessary. As a means of reducing such complexity, this study suggests a way to understand effectively the organic relationships among information found on the interface. In this process, 'knowledge-based archaeological' method has been used. A new concept of interface observed by this research is the study of a system which contains realistically considered knowledge-based archaeological and historical specificity. These models are organized so that search results could be materialized in different tree-structured interface models, which can help one understand the relationships among wanted search results at one glance and confirm the details of those results via mouse click. Strength of the vertical tree structure resides in its capability of suggesting its users clear historical relationship between separate Oriental medical information. The horizontal tree structure enables deeper understanding of sectional interrelationship of searched information. The strength of the prescription tree structure is that it helps one understand the lineage of prescriptions, as Oriental medicinal treatment is often summarized into changes in prescriptions.

이 연구에서는 주어진 공장의 공간에 여러 개의 직사각형 형태 부서의 위치를 할당하고 문헌에 있는 다른 설비배치 기법과 비교하고자 한다. 이 연구는 초기 설비배치가 주어졌을 때 물류비용을 최소화하는 개선적 접근방법을 제시하였다. 기존의 문헌에 있는 접근 방법과 같이 이 연구에서 제시된 접근 방법도 하나의 설비배치에서 부서를 교환하여 더 좋은 해를 찾고자 하였으며, 물류비용을 개선하는 자기발견적 절차를 적용하였다. 수직적 교환, 수평적 교환, 통합 절차 및 분리 절차를 통해 더 좋은 해를 발견할 가능성을 높이고 크기가 같은 설비의 경우에는 설비 배치의 회전도 가능하게 하였다. 그러나 CRAFT와 달리 이 연구에서 제시되는 알고리즘은 설비 형태의 왜곡이 일어나지 않고 직사각형을 유지하는 좋은 해를 제공한다. 또한 Tabu 탐색기법을 활용하여 지역적인 최적해에서 전체 최적해를 찾아가고자 하였다. 문헌에 있는 25개의 설비배치 문제에 대하여 다른 접근 방법과 비교한 결과 제시된 접근방법이 설비의 수가 많을 때 훨씬 더 좋은 해를 제공하는 것으로 나타났다.
