In this paper, we proposed a new car license plate recognition method using an unsupervised ART2 algorithm with HSI color model. The proposed method consists of two main modules; extracting plate area from a vehicle image and recognizing the characters in the plate after that. To extract plate area, hue(H) component of HSI color model is used, and the sub-area containing characters is acquired using modified fuzzy binarization method. Each character is further divided by a 4-directional edge tracking algorithm. To recognize the separated characters, noise-robust ART2 algorithm is employed. When the proposed algorithm is applied to recognize license plate characters, the extraction rate is better than that of existing RGB model and the overall recognition rate is about 97.4%.

A simulation of hot strip finishing mill automatic gauge control (AGC) system is built, which is divided into four modules such as rolling mill system, AGC module, looper system and strip model. The rolling mill system is built by mechanism modeling, the looper system and strip model are built by function modeling, and the AGC model is tried to use intelligent control of a multi-function AGC system. The target is attempted to use this simulation object to minimize finisher exit strip thickness deviation resulting from strip entry thickness disturbance and rolling force deviation. Simulation results show that the result of this AGC/LPC synthetical system module simulation is quite close to the actual result. The simulation system can also analyze most kinds of disturbance which affect the rolling process. It is proved that the system can represent practical situation of hot strip finishing mill process control, and be used as a basic platform of research and development for researcher and engineer.

Simply, Nonlinear dynamics theory means the complicated and noise-like phenomena originated form nonlinearity involved in deterministic dynamical system. An almost all the natural signals have nonlinear property. However, there exist few analysis software tool or package for a research and development of applications. We develop nonlinear time series analysis simulator is to provide a common and useful tool for this purpose and to promote research and development of nonlinear dynamics theory. This simulator is consists of the following four modules such as generation module, preprocessing module, analysis module and ICA module. In this paper, we applied to Electroencephalograph (EEG), as it turned out, our simulator is able to analyze nonlinear time series. Besides, we could get the useful results using the various parameters. These results are used to diagnostic the brain diseases.

In order to improve the system utility efficiency of energy conversion, it is desirable to operate the PV system at maximum power point of solar cell under versable condition. This paper describes the experimental results of the PV system that contains a solar modules and DC-DC converter(boost type chopper). The Simulation results show that the PV system always operate at maximum power point of solar cells having stabilize output voltage waveform with relatively small ripple component.

DTTS(Dynamic Track Tensioning System) system requires robust control performance for the various maneuvering tasks. However, it is very difficult to tune the controller gains in experiments. In this paper, the hydraulic unit is modeled and constructed into the DTTS control module in Matlab/Simulink The control module is interfaced to the vehicle dynamics module so that the control performance of the DTTS system can be evaluated in simulations. The dynamics data and control input data are exchanged between two modules at each control time-step. The gains in the fuzzy-logic controller are varied and the control performance is evaluated in simulations. The proposed simulation tool can be very useful for the gain tuning of track tension controller in bucked vehicles

This paper proposes an intelligent search modeling using avatar agent. This system consists of some modules such as agent interface, agent management, preprocessor, interface machine. Core-Symbol Database and Spell Checker are related to the preprocessor module and Interface Machine is connected with Best Aggregate Designer. Our avatar agent system does the indexing work that converts user's natural language type sentence to the proper words that is suitable for the specific branch information retrieval. Indexing is one of the preprocessing steps that make it possible to guarantee the specialty of user's input and increases the reliability of the result. It references a database that consists of synonym and specific branch dictionary. The resulting symbol after indexing is used for draft search by the internet search engine. The retrieval page position and link information are stored in the database. We experimented our system with the stock market keyword SAMSUNG_SDI, IBM, and SONY and compared the result with that of Altavista and Google search engine. It showed quite excellent results.

We propose the specialized product-line development methodology for developing the embedded system of an MSDFS (Multi Sensor Data Fusion System : called MSDFS). The product-line methodology provides a simultaneous design between software and hardware, high level reusability. However this is insufficient in requirement analysis stage due to be focused on software architecture, detailed design and code. Thus we apply the business model based on IDEF0 technique to traditional methodology. In this paper, we describe the processes of developing Core-Asset, which are requirement analysis, feature modeling, validation. The proposed model gives the efficient result for eliciting features, and ensures the high level reusability of modules performing on embedded system.

Recently, various researches have been studied on the predict method of land change according to its development. The Cellular Automata(CA) is one of the most popular methods in the urban growth modeling. The basis principle of CA is to repeat operations, which convert the current cell into new cell state by the transaction rule. It will minimize the loss of data by using Fuzzy-AHP and it can lead the flexible urban growth modeling. However, AHP would have a disadvantage to repeat the procedure of the collecting intentions until it derives the weight. Also, it is necessary for the simulation of CA to repeat the operations and the test of data accuracy should be accompanied. The purpose of this study is to predict the Busan city growth model and analyze it according to the automated test method by applying CA as well as Fuzzy-AHP. This study shall improve the difficulties caused by complexity and repetitiveness in the urban grow modeling. The practical modeling could be derived from the verification, and the derived modules could be applied to the similar case studies.
