Characterizing the electromagnetic properties of concrete is essential to the enhancement of accuracy and reliability in nondestructive testing of concrete structures using electromagnetic techniques. To establish a data base for the properties of concrete, a measurement technique has been developed and a set of data has been obtained for the frequency range of 1~6 GHz. As moisture content is one of major contributing factors to determine permittivity of dielectric material, moisture content is varied during the measurement. An application of a measurement system which consists of open-ended coaxial probe and automatic network analyzer to concrete and mortar specimens is studied. For this, calibration techniques, size of specimens, and number of measurements necessary to obtain reliable data are investigated. From the measured data, it is shown that moisture content plays an important role to determine the permittivity of specimens. As the moisture content increases. The permittivity of specimens show tendency to approach the permittivity of water.

This paper presents a design of the real-time preprocessor for CMOS image sensor suitable to the digital camera applications. CMOS image sensor offers some advantages in on-chip integration, system power reduction, and low cost. However, it has a lower-quality image than CCDs. We describe an image enhancement algorithm, which includes color interpolation, color correction, gamma correction, sharpening, and automatic exposure control, to compensate for this disadvantage, and present its efficient hardware architecture to implement on the real-time processor. The presented real-time preprocessor was designed using VHDL, and it contains about 19.2K logic gates. We also implement our system on FPGA chips in order to provide the real-time adjustment and it was successfully tested.

본 논문에서는 수중 영상 환경에 특화된 자동 수중 영상 보정 시스템을 제안한다. 수중 영상은 빛 희석(light attenuation)을 인한 가시거리 제한, 낮은 영상 대비(low contrast) 그리고 부유물질과 같은 영상의 노이즈 등의 특수한 환경적 제약이 따른다. 기존의 수중 영상 보정 알고리즘은 색 및 대비(contrast) 보정, 가시거리 확장 및 노이즈 제거 기법등을 이용한 부분적으로 보정 연구가 진행되어 왔는데, 부분적 영상 보정 기법으로는 선명한 영상의 결과를 얻기 힘들다. 제안한 통합 수중 영상 보정 시스템은 색 및 대비 보정, 부유물질 제거를 위한 노이즈 필터링, 객체 윤곽선 강화를 위한 기법들을 통합하여 수중 영상에 특화하였다. 실험을 통하여 제안된 수중 영상 보정 시스템의 효율성을 확인하였다.

최근 디지털 기술의 발달로 인하여 실외 환경에서 획득된 영상은 민수분야 및 군사분야 등과 같이 다양한 목적에 따라 활용되는 분야의 폭이 넓어지고 있다. 교통정보 수집장치, 차량 블랙박스, 산불 및 지진관측, 선락/해안경비 감시, 국경 및 군사표적이동 감시 등의 목적에 의해 촬영된 영상들은 대부분 획득된 영상을 통해서 분석 및 판독의 과정을 거쳐서 각 원하는 정보 획득에 목적을 두고 있다. 하지만 실외에서 촬영된 영상은 실내에서 촬영된 영상에 비해서 기상에 따른 환경적인 요인에 노출이 쉽게 됨으로써 영상에 대한 화질 저하가 발생하는 문제점이 존재한다. 본 논문에서는 화질저하의 원인이 되는 다양한 요인 중에서도 대기중에 존재하는 먼지, 물방울 연무, 안개, 연기 등으로 인해 빛이 산란됨으로써 밝기 값을 왜곡시키는 문제점에 대한 해결 방법을 제안한다.

Automatic speech recognition has severe performance degradation under noisy environments. To cope with the noise problem, many methods have been proposed. Most of them focused on noise-robust features or model adaptation. However, researchers have overlooked utterance verification (UV) under noisy environments. In this paper we discuss UV problems based on the normalized confidence measure. First, we show that UV performance is also degraded in noisy environments with the experiments of an isolated word recognition. Then we observe how the degradation of UV performances is suffered. Based on the UV experiments we propose a modeling method of the statistics of phone confidences using sigmoid functions. For obtaining the parameters of the sigmoidal models, the particle swarm optimization (PSO) is adopted. The proposed method improves 20% rejection performance. Our experimental results show that the PSO-NCM can apply noise speech recognition successfully.

The development of digital camera and advancement of computer processor could simplify the acquisition and the analysis of digial image, and be the real-time processing by the digital photogrammetry. This study is about to enhancement of the image measuring accuracy by the centroid methods. We were able to determine more effective centroid measuring methods and suitable target shape as the development of analysis system and actualize semi-automatic measuring of digital image. And we can supply the weakness of non-metric camera for the geometric internal accuracy of digital image as the correct of Kodak DCS200 camera 8008s lens distortion.

음성인식시스템은 사람이 별도의 장비 없이 음성만으로 시스템의 사용이 가능한 편리한 장점을 지니고 있으나 여러 가지 기술적인 어려움과 실제 환경의 낮은 인식률로 폭넓게 사용되지 못한 상황이다. 그 중 배경잡음은 음성인식의 인식률을 저하시키는 원인으로 지적 받고 있다. 이러한 잡음환경에 있는 ASR(Automatic Speech Recognition)의 성능 향상을 위해 외측억제 기능 이 추가된 파라미터를 제안한다. ASR 에서 널리 사용되는 파라미터인 MFCC을 본 논문에서 제안한 파라미터와 HMM를 이용하여 인식률을 비교하여 성능을 비교하였다. 실험결과를 통해 제안된 파라미터의 사용을 통해 잡음환경에 있는 ASR의 성능 향상을 확인할 수 있었다.

Automatic gauge control algorithm in rolling process is composed of several functions. Among them feedforward control method is used to compensate irregularity of input strip thickness before rolling process. Since it's very difficult to get an explicit relation between the degree of irregularity of input strip and manipulated variables, approximate linear equation like straight line is used in real system. Furthermore parameters included in such static equation should be changed by characteristics of input strip and modified by roll states. Despite this problem, rolling process use variables in feedfroward controller as a constant. Therefore this problem increases the possibilities of irregularity of thickness control. This paper presents an algorithm which can properly infer present states of process and intelligently manipulate the parameter of feedforward controller.

The Seoul-Metro is the first city railroad corporation to operate RIMS(Rolling-stock Information Maintenance System). The development of "RIMS Project" and trial running task were started from Mar 29, 2001. Finally, this project was completed successfully on Dec 31, 2005, as integrated systems including light or heavy maintenance works in Ji-Chuk and Chang-Dong Rolling-stock Offices. After that, from 2006 to Dec 31, 2007, we promoted a this new program to other four rolling-stock offices (Su-Seo, Gun-Ja, Sin-Jeong) and the headquarter. For the duration of trial running, we developed and applied new complementary program having made up for the weak points or defects. The series of new program which were newly developed and applied are comprised of an operation management, trouble management, wheel management, heavy maintenance table automatic creation programs and ordering prediction programs to purchase goods smoothly. The Seoul-Metro have registered these programs(RIMS) to Computer Program Protection Committee. We'd like to introduce a composition of program for enhancement of a city railroad Information Systems.

Recently, the strategy of the age of limitless competition for existence of manufacturing company appears for the enhancement of productivity through the automatic system, the reduction for the cost for standardization and the decision making process for the information system. Especially the critical success factors in manufacturing company can be summarized for the establishment of production visibility through the production management, material & work-in-process management, the establish of the flexible manufacturing system for the changed order priority and the establish of the quality system for improvement of product and process quality. The existing production management systems supply only simple information about production results on real time, can delay quick decision making. And it can prevent acquiring the information about various customer needs and the communication problems with other systems. In this paper, it will show MES system, a solution for the problems of existing production management systems. And through a case study of D company, it will reveal improvement effect on shipment error using MES system and economic analysis for MES itself.
