A method for resident space object detection in video stream processing using a set of matched filters has been proposed. Matched filters are constructed based on the connection between the Fourier spectrum shape of the difference frame and the magnitude of the linear velocity projection onto the observation plane. Experimental data were obtained using the mobile optical surveillance system for low-orbit space objects. The detection problem in testing mode was solved for raw video data with intensity signals from three satellites: KORONAS-FOTON, CUSAT 2/FALCON 9, and GENESIS-1. Difference frames of video data with the AQUA satellite pass were used to construct matched filters. The satellites were automatically detected at points where the difference in the value of their linear velocity projection and the reference satellite was close in value. An initial approximation of the satellites slant range vector and position vector has been obtained based on the values of linear velocity projection onto the frame plane. It has been established that the difference in the inclination angle between the detected satellite intensity signal Fourier image and the reference satellite mask corresponds to the difference in the inclinations of these objects. The proposed method allows for detecting and estimating the initial approximation of the slant range and position vector of artificial and natural space objects, such as satellites, debris, and asteroids.

In this article we introduce a numerical method, named Gegenbauer wavelets method, which is derived from conventional Gegenbauer polynomials, for solving fractional initial and boundary value problems. The operational matrices are derived and utilized to reduce the linear fractional differential equation to a system of algebraic equations. We perform the convergence analysis for the Gegenbauer wavelets method. We also combine Gegenbauer wavelets operational matrix method with quasilinearization technique for solving fractional nonlinear differential equation. Quasilinearization technique is used to discretize the nonlinear fractional ordinary differential equation and then the Gegenbauer wavelet method is applied to discretized fractional ordinary differential equations. In each iteration of quasilinearization technique, solution is updated by the Gegenbauer wavelet method. Numerical examples are provided to illustrate the efficiency and accuracy of the methods.

Kirsi Majava and Xue-Cheng Tai [12] proposed a modified level set method for solving a free boundary problem associated with unilateral obstacle problems. The proximal bundle method and gradient method were applied to solve the nonsmooth minimization problems and the regularized problem, respectively. In this paper, we extend this approach to solve the bilateral obstacle problems and employ Rung-Kutta method to solve the initial value problem derived from the regularized problem. Numerical experiments are presented to verify the efficiency of the methods.

An efficient solution method is presented to solve the eigenvalue problem arising in tile dynamic analysis of non-proportionally damped structural systems with multiple or close eigenvalues. The proposed method is obtained by applying the modified Newton-Raphson technique and the orthonormal condition of the eigenvectors to the quadratic eigenvalue problem. Even if the shift value is an eigenvalue of the system, the proposed method guarantees nonsingularity, which is analytically proved. The initial values of the proposed method can be taken as the intermediate results of iteration methods or results of approximate methods. Two numerical examples are also presented to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method and the results are compared with those of the well-known subspace iteration method and the Lanczos method.

Although many different methods have been used to solve stereo correspondent problems, the deviation of accuracy is too big. Among those many methods, the one that uses segmentation information of input image has received high attention in academic field since it is very close to vision recognition. In this thesis, the existing method of acquiring a single value by using the segment information and initial disparity value was viewed in NP-hard problem to propose a new method. In order to verify the validity of the proposed method, well-known data were used for experiment and the resulted data was analyzed. Although there were some disadvantages in the time aspect, it showed somewhat useful results in the accuracy aspect.

The wear problem of wheel flange occurs at sharp curves of rail. This paper proposes a procedure for optimum design of a wheel profile wherein flange wear is reduced by improving an interaction between wheel and rail. Application of optimization method to design problem mainly depends on characteristics of design space. This paper compared local optimization method with global optimization according to sensitivity value of objective function for design variables to find out which optimization method is appropriable to minimize wear of wheel flange. Wheel profile is created by a piecewise cubic Hermite interpolating polynomial and dynamic performances are analyzed by a railway dynamic analysis program, VAMPIRE. From the optimization results, it is verified that the global optimization method such as genetic algorithm is more suitable to wheel profile optimization than the local optimization of SQP (Sequential Quadratic Programming) in case of considering the lack of empirical knowledge for initial design value.

Back propagation algorithm based on a gradient-decent method has been widely used to the training of a neural network. However, this algorithm have some problems such as dropping the minimum value in a local area according to an initial value and setting the number of units in a hidden layer when training the neural network. Accordingly, to solve the above-mentioned problems, this paper proposes a genetic algorithm using the training method of the neural network. Thus, the improved genetic algorithm using a new crossover and mutation method is proposed to discriminate 3 bit parity. Experiments confirm that the proposed system is effective for training speed after demonstrating for generation gap, the number of units in the hidden layer, and the number of individuals.

Accurate estimation of milk production cost is very important for dairy farmers in establishing strategies for business management (e.g. planning a program for milk production, deciding the size of business and investment, determining the milk price for sale). Since the estimated cost of milk production is used as an important index to determine the basal price of milk in Korea, there has been much interest and debate on the method used to estimate milk production cost among the stakeholder. This study was thus carried out to identify problems in the current methodology for estimating cost of milk production, and to find a better way to improve it. We propose several alternatives and better ways to improve the current method for estimating cost of milk production. Estimation of the income and cost per head should be based on the number of cattle converted to grown cows. Cost estimation per liter of milk should be made for both whole milk and 3.4% milk fat corrected milk. The value of purchased cows and raised replacement heifers should be the same as their market value. The productive life span of cows should be less 4 years, and the terminal or salvage value of cows needs to be 30 to 40% less than her initial value. When calculating depreciation of cows over the productive life span, however, the salvage value should be 0 or 1 Korean won. On calculating labor costs, the farm labor wage corresponding to the average wage of nonfarm industrial workers should be assumed. Beside of these, better estimation procedures for other items are also given. The proposed methods from this study should improve the accuracy of estimation of milk production cost and help to achieve consensus among the stakeholder.

In this paper, we present a new time-varying sliding surface to achieve fast and robust tracking of higher-order uncertain systems. The surface passes through an initial error, and afterwards, it moves towards a predetermined target surface by means of a variable named by sliding surface gain and its intercept. Specifically, the sliding surface gain is determined so that its initial value can minimize a shifting distance of the surface and that the system roots in sliding mode can follow certain stable trajectories. The designed sliding mode control forces the system errors to stay always on the proposed surface from the beginning. By this means, the system remains insensitive to system uncertainties and disturbances for the whole time. To illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed method, the comparative study with conventional time-invariant sliding mode control is performed.

This research is presented for optimizing the coefficients of spring and damper by impulse which is applied to AGV when the two containers are loaded on AGV. The suspension is estimated to the condition that two containers, initial velocity of container, initial height of container and maximum of suspension stroke. The coefficients of spring and damper are calculated numerically through Newmark method uses finite difference expansions. The procedure of calculation is applied by one DOFs of mass-spring-damper system. The coefficients of spring and damper have large value as increase of height or decrease of stroke. The result of calculation is shown in graph and the investigation is used AGV design.
