  • The Automation and Control Group at the University of Brasilia is developing an automatic welding station based on an industrial robot and a controllable welding machine. Several techniques were applied in order to improve the quality of the welding joints. This paper deals with the implementation of a laser-based computer vision system to guide the robotic manipulator during the welding process. Currently the robot is taught to follow a prescribed trajectory which is recorded a repeated over and over relying on the repeatability specification from the robot manufacturer. The objective of the computer vision system is monitoring the actual trajectory followed by the welding torch and to evaluate deviations from the desired trajectory. The position errors then being transfer to a control algorithm in order to actuate the robotic manipulator and cancel the trajectory errors. The computer vision systems consists of a CCD camera attached to the welding torch, a laser emitting diode circuit, a PC computer-based frame grabber card, and a computer vision algorithm. The laser circuit establishes a sharp luminous reference line which images are captured through the video camera. The raw image data is then digitized and stored in the frame grabber card for further processing using specifically written algorithms. These image-processing algorithms give the actual welding path, the relative position between the pieces and the required corrections. Two case studies are considered: the first is the joining of two flat metal pieces; and the second is concerned with joining a cylindrical-shape piece to a flat surface. An implementation of this computer vision system using parallel computer processing is being studied.

  • In Bayesian multi-target tracking, the Poisson multi-Bernoulli mixture (PMBM) filter is a state-of-the-art filter based on the methodology of random finite set which is a conjugate prior composed of Poisson point process (PPP) and multi-Bernoulli mixture (MBM). In order to improve the random finite set-based filter utilized in multi-target tracking of sensor scanning, this paper introduces the Poisson multi-Bernoulli mixture filter into time-matching Bayesian filtering framework and derive a tractable and principled method, namely: the time-matching Poisson multi-Bernoulli mixture (TM-PMBM) filter. We also provide the Gaussian mixture implementation of the TM-PMBM filter for linear-Gaussian dynamic and measurement models. Subsequently, we compare the performance of the TM-PMBM filter with other RFS filters based on time-matching method with different birth models under directional continuous scanning and out-of-order discontinuous scanning. The results of simulation demonstrate that the proposed filter not only can effectively reduce the influence of sampling time diversity, but also improve the estimated accuracy of target state along with cardinality.

  • 국제표준 3차원 포인트 클라우드 압축 기술인 MPEG(Moving Picture Experts Group)-I(Immersive) V-PCC(Video-based Point Cloud Compression)에는 점유 맵(Occupancy Map) 손실/무손실 압축 기술이 포함되어 있다. V-PCC는 기존에 보급되어 있는 2차원 비디오 코덱(H.264/AVC, HEVC, AV1 등)을 그대로 활용할 수 있는 장점이 있는데, 대부분의 소비자 영상 기기에 포함되어 있는 2차원 비디오 복호화기 HW는 무손실을 지원하지 않는다. 따라서 V-PCC 복호화기의 폭넓은 상용화를 위해서는 부호화기에서 점유 맵의 손실 압축이 필수적이다. 본 논문은 V-PCC 부호화기의 점유 맵을 최소한의 압축 효율 저하로 손실 압축하기 위해 다양한 파라미터 실험을 통한 최적의 파라미터 값을 제시한다.

  • The effect of pH on surface hydrophobicity, sulfhydryl group, infrared spectrum, SDS-PAGE (sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis) pattern and enthalpy was investigated in recovered protein from mackerel and frozen blackspotted croaker by alkaline processing. Hydrophobic residue in myofibrillar protein exposed to the surface of protein, and hydrophobic interaction were the highest around 6$0^{\circ}C$. The surface hydrophobicity was different between myofibrillar protein and myofibrillar protein including sarcoplasmic protein (recovered protein). The peak at 1636 c $m^{-l}$ was increased with pH, and the recovered protein was unfolded in alkali pH. Difference of surface and total sulfhydryl group at pH 7.0 and 10 was comparative high, and decrease of surface sulfhydryl group indicated formation of S-S bonds. Mackerel and frozen blackspotted croaker in alkaline pH showed bands of polymerized myosin heavy chain on SDS-PAGE pattern. The transition temperatures of recovered protein were 33.1, 44.3 and 65.5$^{\circ}C$. Gelation of recovered protein from alkali processing was estimated by increase of $\beta$-sheet structure by pH treatment, S-S bonds by oxidation of surface sulfhydryl group in heating, polymerization of myosin heavy chain in order.r.

  • Recently, research on database encryption for data protection and query result authentication methods has been performed more actively in the database outsourcing environment. Existing database encryption schemes are vulnerable to order matching and counting attack of intruders who have background knowledge of the original database domain. Existing query result integrity auditing methods suffer from the transmission overhead of verification object. To resolve these problems, we propose a group-order preserving encryption index and a query result authentication method based on the encryption index. Our group-order preserving encryption index groups the original data for data encryption and support query processing without data decryption. We generate group ids by using the Hilbert-curve so that we can protect the group information while processing a query. Finally, our periodic function based data grouping and query result authentication scheme can reduce the data size of the query result verification. Through performance evaluation, we show that our method achieves better performance than an existing bucket-based verification scheme, it is 1.6 times faster in terms of query processing time and produces verification data that is 20 times smaller.

  • Renal ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury is great clinical important because viability of the organ depends on the tolerance to ischemia-reperfusion injury, an inevitable processing during surgery. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of premedicated ascorbic acid alone in I/R injury model induced by cross-clamping of renal vessels. In the rabbit models, 2-4 kg New Zealand white rabbits were subjected to 30 minutes of warm unilateral renal ischemia followed by removal of contralateral kidney and then divided into five groups, control (2) arid treatment groups (3). In control group 1, the rabbits only received right nephrectomy. In control group 2, the rabbits received I/R on left kidney after the right nephrectomy. In treatment group 1, the rabbits received ascorbic acid 50 mg/kg IV before the operation. In treatment group 2, the rabbits received ascorbic acid 100 mg/kg IV before the operation. In treatment group 3, the rabbits received ascorbic acid 200 mg/kg IV before the operation. Blood samples were collected from these rabbits for measurement of kidney function tests at the 0, 1 st, 3rd and 7th day and antioxidant enzyme( SOD, GSHPx, CAT) at 24 hours. Kidney function tests (serum creatinine and BUN) showed a significant difference between group 2 and group 4, 5. Activity of antioxidant enzymes in plasma were significant decrease in group 4, 5 compare to group 2. The result of this study suggested that the exogenous ascorbic acid had a role of attenuation of renal I/R injury in rabbit model.

  • To understand the biomechanics of the mandibular movement of the patients with T.M.J. disorder, it is necessary to analyze the mandibular movement by the least moving points of instantaneous center of rotation on computer screen. In this study, two subjects without T.M.J. disorder and with normal occlusion and few patients with T.M.J. disorder were selected for obtaining the processing data. The habitual opening and dosing movements were recorded by image recognition system of video and computer and then the mandibular movement and the least moving point were analyzed using computer program for image anaysis of specialized points. The results obtained were as follows: 1. The least moving points of control group during opening and dosing were dose to the mandibular foramen, but in the test group there were differences between two positions of the least moving points during opening and closing. 2. The variations of the least moving point were in the range of $0.02\sim0.05cm$ of X-coordinate and $0.07\sim0.10cm$ of Y-coordinate for control group, whereas in the range of $0.05\sim0.30cm$ of X-coordinate and $0.08\sim1.65cm$ of Y-coordinate for test group. 3. The index of variation during opening and dosing movements was shown in $0.8\sim1.0$ for the control group and in $0.56\sim2.6$ for the test group. 4. After the treatment of the test group No. 4 by occlusal splint the least moving point was dose to the mandibular foramen and the index of variation was changed from 25 to 05. 5. The tracing shape of the least moving point in the test group represented the irregularities compared to the control group. 6. The mandibular opening and dosing movements were simulated on the computer screen following the movement of the least moving point of instantaneous center of rotation.

  • A blazed $GxL^{TM}$ device is described as having high optical efficiency (> 70% for RGB lasers), and high contrast ratio (> 10,000:1), and that is highly reliable when used in a large-area laser projection system. It has a robust design and precise stress control technology to maintain a uniform shape (bow and tilt) of more than 6,000 ribbons, a $0.25-{\mu}m$ CMOS compatible fabrication processing and planarization techniques to reduce fluctuation of the ribbons, and a reliable Al-Cu reflective film that provided protection against a high-power laser. No degradation in characteristics of the GxL device is observed after operating a 5,000- lumen projector for 2,000 hours and conducting 2,000 temperature cycling tests at $-20^{\circ}C$ and $+80^{\circ}C$. At the 2005 World Exposition in Aichi, Japan the world's largest laser projection screen with a size of 2005 inches (10 m ${\times}$ 50 m) and 6 million pixels (1,080 ${\times}$ 5,760) was demonstrated.

  • In multicast environment, the main objective of group key management is to provide security services to group communications by sharing a single group key among all the members of the group and subsequently encrypting and decrypting all the communication messages exchanged among the members of the group. Up to now, there has been no effort to develop group key management mechanism that considers the rate of users' join/leave operations. Hence, in this research, we propose group key management mechanisms that consider the rate of user's join/leave operations. We also define a new tree structure called variable tree which is much more flexible than full regular trees and show that variable trees are more efficient than full regular trees for group key management. Especially, we propose an algorithm that minimizes the necessary number of rekey messages according to the rate of join and leave operations. We also shows that if the rate of leave operation is greater than 50%, then the tree structure with degrees 2 or 3 are the optimal structures.
