  • As Korean coastal activity is high, the incidence of accidents caused by marine waste is extensive. An accident in which marine floating waste ropes and fishing nets are wound around the propeller of a sailing ship is termed "Rope wrapped accident." To prevent such accidents, this study applied the Finite Element Method (F.E.M.) for performance evaluation of the shaver type cutter, commercialized in Korea, through a structural safety review and water tank test. The results demonstrate that all parts constituting the rope cutter were damaged before reaching 0.5s, and the safety factor of each part was found to be at least 2 based on the maximum stress generated compared to the tensile strength. In the basin test, the cutting process of the shaver type rope cutter was reviewed, and the installation angle was set for each case considering that the rope floating in the sea actually enters at various angles. Consequently, as it was successful at cutting in all the cases, it can be concluded that there will be no problem in cutting the rope regardless of the mounted angle of the cutting blade.

  • Chrysnathemum stunt viroid (CSVd), a small, single-stranded, infectious RNA, has caused a severe problem in chrysanthemum in the world. In Korea, since CSVd was firstly observed in 1997, the disease has been spread throughout the whole country rapidly. In spite of the seriousness, few methods for control of CSVd have been known without prevention. The use of resistant cultivars is one of the most efficient approaches for overcoming CSVd disease in chrysanthemum cultivation. This study was carried out to identify chrysanthemum genetic resources for the resistance to chrysanthemum stunt viroid (CSVd). A total of 192 commercial cultivars including 167 spray and 25 standard chrysanthemum were screened with CSVd through grafting inoculation method. In most of the inoculated cultivars, typical disease symptoms, stunting of plant height, reduced flower size, and flower color bleaching, were induced. Several cultivars, however, were symptomless or showed delay in symptom expression. Of 192 chrysanthemum cultivars, two cultivars with less than 5% of the average reduction rate of plant height, 'Chiwerel' and 'Jeongheungdaesin', were rated as resistant. And six cultivars less than 20% inculding 'Inga' were rated as moderate resistant. The remaining 184 cultivars with a high level of reduction were rated as susceptible. We expect that these genetic resources can be used in crossbreeding programs for developing CSVd resistant cultivars of chrysanthemum.

  • The detector of a focal-plane-array mid-wave infrared (MWIR) camera has different response characteristics for each detector pixel, resulting in nonuniformity between detector pixels. In addition, image nonuniformity occurs due to heat generation inside the camera during operation. To solve this problem, in the process of camera manufacturing it is common to use a gain-and-offset table generated from a blackbody to correct the difference between detector pixels. One method of correcting nonuniformity due to internal heat generation during the operation of the camera generates a new offset value based on input frame images. This paper proposes a technique for dividing an input image into block image patches and generating offset values using only homogeneous patches, to correct the nonuniformity that occurs during camera operation. The proposed technique may not only generate a nonuniformity-correction offset that can prevent motion marks due to camera-gaze movement of the acquired image, but may also improve nonuniformity-correction performance with a small number of input images. Experimental results show that distortion such as flow marks does not occur, and good correction performance can be confirmed even with half the number of input images or fewer, compared to the traditional method.

  • This study examined the diagnostics of abnormalities and faults of equipment, whose rotational speed changes even during regular operation. The purpose of this study was to suggest a procedure that can properly apply machine learning to the time series data, comprising non-stationary characteristics as the rotational speed changes. Anomaly and fault diagnosis was performed using machine learning: k-Nearest Neighbor (k-NN), Support Vector Machine (SVM), and Random Forest. To compare the diagnostic accuracy, an autoencoder was used for anomaly detection and a convolution based Conv1D was additionally used for fault diagnosis. Feature vectors comprising statistical and frequency attributes were extracted, and normalization & dimensional reduction were applied to the extracted feature vectors. Changes in the diagnostic accuracy of machine learning according to feature selection, normalization, and dimensional reduction are explained. The hyperparameter optimization process and the layered structure are also described for each algorithm. Finally, results show that machine learning can accurately diagnose the failure of a variable-rotation machine under the appropriate feature treatment, although the convolution algorithms have been widely applied to the considered problem.

  • In this paper, we present a method for dependency parsing with chunking in Korean. Dependency parsing is a task of determining a governor of every word in a sentence. In general, we used to determine the syntactic governor in Korean and should transform the syntactic structure into semantic structure for further processing like semantic analysis in natural language processing. There is a notorious problem to determine whether syntactic or semantic governor. For example, the syntactic governor of the word "먹고 (eat)" in the sentence "밥을 먹고 싶다 (would like to eat)" is "싶다 (would like to)", which is an auxiliary verb and therefore can not be a semantic governor. In order to mitigate this somewhat, we propose a Korean dependency parsing after chunking, which is a process of segmenting a sentence into constituents. A constituent is a word or a group of words that function as a single unit within a dependency structure and is called a chunk in this paper. Compared to traditional dependency parsing, there are some advantage of the proposed method: (1) The number of input units in parsing can be reduced and then the parsing speed could be faster. (2) The effectiveness of parsing can be improved by considering the relation between two head words in chunks. Through experiments for Sejong dependency corpus, we have shown that the USA and LAS of the proposed method are 86.48% and 84.56%, respectively and the number of input units is reduced by about 22%p.

  • In the view of the application of high-precision spatial information production, UAV (Umanned Aerial Vehicle)-Photogrammetry has a problem in that it lacks specific procedures and detailed regulations for quantitative quality verification methods or certification of captured images. In addition, test tools for UAV image quality assessment use only the GSD (Ground Sample Distance), not MTF (Modulation Transfer Function), which reflects image resolution and contrast at the same time. This fact makes often the quality of UAV image inferior to that of manned aerial image. We performed MTF and GSD analysis simultaneously using a siemens star to confirm the necessity of MTF analysis in UAV image quality assessment. The analyzing results of UAV images taken with different payload and sensors show that there is a big difference in σMTF values, representing image resolution and the degree of contrast, but slightly different in GSD. It concluded that the MTF analysis is a more objective and reliable analysis method than just the GSD analysis method, and high-quality drone images can only be obtained when the operator make images after judging the proper selection the sensor performance, image overlaps, and payload type. However, the results of this study are derived from analyzing only images acquired by limited sensors and imaging conditions. It is therefore expected that more objective and reliable results will be obtained if continuous research is conducted by accumulating various experimental data in related fields in the future.

  • Anomaly detection is a method to detect and block abnormal data flows in general users' data sets. The previously known method is a method of detecting and defending an attack based on a signature using the signature of an already known attack. This has the advantage of a low false positive rate, but the problem is that it is very vulnerable to a zero-day vulnerability attack or a modified attack. However, in the case of anomaly detection, there is a disadvantage that the false positive rate is high, but it has the advantage of being able to identify, detect, and block zero-day vulnerability attacks or modified attacks, so related studies are being actively conducted. In this study, we want to deal with these anomaly detection mechanisms, and we propose a new mechanism that performs both anomaly detection and classification while supplementing the high false positive rate mentioned above. In this study, the experiment was conducted with five configurations considering the characteristics of various algorithms. As a result, the model showing the best accuracy was proposed as the result of this study. After detecting an attack by applying the Extra Tree and Three-layer ANN at the same time, the attack type is classified using the Extra Tree for the classified attack data. In this study, verification was performed on the NSL-KDD data set, and the accuracy was 99.8%, 99.1%, 98.9%, 98.7%, and 97.9% for Normal, Dos, Probe, U2R, and R2L, respectively. This configuration showed superior performance compared to other models.

  • Recently, high productivity capabilities have been improved due to the application of advanced technologies in various industries, but in the construction industry, productivity improvements have been relatively low. Research on advanced technology for the construction industry is being conducted quickly to overcome the current low productivity. Among advanced technologies, 3D scan technology is widely used for creating 3D digital terrain models at construction sites. In particular, the 3D digital terrain model provides basic data for construction automation processes, such as earthwork machine guidance and control. The quality of the 3D digital terrain model has a lot of influence not only on the performance and acquisition environment of the 3D scanner, but also on the denoising, registration and merging process, which is a preprocessing process for creating a 3D digital terrain model after acquiring terrain scan data. Therefore, it is necessary to improve the terrain scan data processing performance. This study seeks to solve the problem of density inhomogeneity in terrain scan data that arises during the pre-processing step. The study suggests a 'pixel-based point cloud comparison algorithm' and verifies the performance of the algorithm using terrain scan data obtained at an actual earthwork site.

  • The optimization of long-range ensemble climate prediction for rice phenology model with advanced bias correction method is conducted. The daily long-range forecast(6-month) of mean/ minimum/maximum temperature and observation of January to October during 1991-2021 is collected for rice phenology prediction. In this study, the concept of "buffer period" is newly introduced to reduce the problem after bias correction by quantile mapping with constructing the transfer function by month, which evokes the discontinuity at the borders of each month. The four experiments with different lengths of buffer periods(5, 10, 15, 20 days) are implemented, and the best combinations of buffer periods are selected per month and variable. As a result, it is found that root mean square error(RMSE) of temperatures decreases in the range of 4.51 to 15.37%. Furthermore, this improvement of climatic variables quality is linked to the performance of the rice phenology model, thereby reducing RMSE in every rice phenology step at more than 75~100% of Automated Synoptic Observing System stations. Our results indicate the possibility and added values of interdisciplinary study between atmospheric and agriculture sciences.

  • Drone can be controlled by the method such as Bluetooth communication for close distance and can be controlled through network communication for long distance. Especially, the coordinate is set using GPS and drone is controlled using network communication and video communication when the activity range is long distance. However, the drone should be controlled by receiving control authority accordingly in response about it appropriately when the drone leaves the control area after arriving at the destination if there is a problem with network communication and video communication. So, this study proposes a method to control a drone with a simple mutually promised simple gesture and the drone can be controlled in the proposed method even if the drone leaves from the control authority in above situation. The reference posture was established for mutually promised simple gesture algorithm and automatically handed over the control authority of drone to a person who takes the reference posture when the drone recognizes it to implement this. And all the movements of the drone could be controlled by starting the beginning of all commands from the reference posture (The hovering posture of the drone). Lastly, the control authority of the drone should be returned after achieving the purpose, and the algorithm was implemented to make the drone can perform next action of its own, and it was confirmed that the drone was operating normally by the mapped instruction.
