자연이미지에 내포된 텍스트는 많은 정보를 제공함으로 이를 효과적으로 검출하여 다양한 응용분야에 활용될 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 텍스트 영역의 에지 특징과 국부 최소/최대 변환을 이용하여 자연이미지로부터 텍스트 영역 검출 방법을 제안한다. 에지 검출은 캐니-에지 검출기로 추출하고, 국부 최소/최대 변환을 이용하여 텍스트 영역의 연결성분을 추출한다. 각각 추출된 에지 및 연결성분으로부터 텍스트 영역 후보를 검출하고, 각각의 결과를 결합하여 최종적인 텍스트 후보 영역을 검출하고, 후보 텍스트 영역에 대한 검증을 수행함으로서 최종적인 텍스트 영역을 검출한다. 제안한 방법은 다양한 종류의 자연이미지를 대상으로 실험한 결과, 에지 및 연결성분의 두 가지 특징을 결합함으로서 자연이미지에 존재하는 다양한 형태의 텍스트 영역을 효과적으로 검출하였다.

During the phonation of voiced sounds, instants exist where the glottis is opened or closed, due to the periodic vibration of the vocal cord. When closed, this is called the glottal closure instant(GCI) or epoch.. The correct detection of the GCI is one of the important problems in speech processing for pitch detection, pitch synchronous analysis, and so on. Recently, it has been shown that the local maxima points of the wavelet transformed speech signal correspond to the GCIs of speech signal. In this paper, we investigate the accuracy of Gels estimated from this wavelet transformed speech signal. For this purpose we compare them with the negative peak points of the differentiated EGG signal that represents the actual GCIs of speech signal.

We propose a novel method which detects convex and concave corners using radial projection. The sum of two neighbors' differences at the local maxima or minima of the radial projection is compared with the angle threshold for detecting corners. In addition, the use of oriented bounding box trees and partial circles makes it possible to detect the corners of complex shapes. The experimental results show that the proposed method can separately detect the convex and concave corners, and that this method is scale invariant.

본 연구에서는 고정된 카메라로부터 입력되는 영상열에서 이동 물체를 신뢰성있게 분리하기 위해 형태 정보를 이용한 확장 방법을 제안한다. 영역 분리의 핵심은 배경으로부터 주위 잡음 영역과 무관하게 이동 물체 영역을 분리하는 기술이라고 볼 수 있다. 제안된 방법은 초기 이동 물체가 존재하지 않는 영상을 참고 영상(reference image)으로 하여 입력 영상(input image)과의 차영상(subtraction image)을 구하고, 차영상의 히스토그램(histogram)에서 배경잡음 모델링(modeling)을 통해 배경잡음을 제거한다. 그리고 배경잡음이 제거된 차영상에서 국부 최대값들(local maxima)을 이용해 후보 초기 영역을 선정한 후, 이 영역을 기반으로 영역의 형태정보를 이용하여 영역을 선별적으로 확장하면서 결합하는 방법을 사용하였다. 제안된 방법을 실제 상황에서 얻은 다양한 영상열에 적용한 결과, 기존의 영역 분리 방법보다 주위 잡음과 무관하게 이동 물체를 분리할 수 있음을 확인할 수 있었다.

다양한 디지털 컨텐츠를 검색하기 위해 다양한 디스크립터(Descriptor)가 제안되어 왔다. 그 중 특징점을 기반으로 하는 디스크립터를 이용하여 원본 영상과 기하학적 변형을 포함하는 다양한 변형 영상을 서로 정확하게 정합시키기 위해서는 각 영상에서 동일한 위치에 동일한 개수의 특징점이 추출되는 것이 유리하다. 본 논문에서는 널리 사용되고 있는 해리스(Harris) 특징점 추출 방법을 기반으로 국부 최대값과 정렬을 이용하여 원하는 개수의 특징점을 선택하는 방법을 제안한다.

The detailed flow characteristics inside a compression chamber due to the orbiting motion of a scroll is studied numerically. The orbiting motion of a scroll is modelled at 7 orbiting angles. At each orbit angle, the central compression chamber is modelled. All computations are carried by using an in-house code. It is based on the SIMPLE algorithm. Computation results show that the flow structure inside the compression chamber is dependent on the orbit angle. The pressure variation inside the compression chamber also shows great dependence on the orbit angle. The pressure variation shows local maxima when the orbiting motion of a scroll directs toward the center of the compression chamber.

Under partial shading condition, the multiple local maxima can be existed on the output characteristics of PV array. In case of the conventional MPPTs (i.e P&O or IncCond), the failure of maximum power point tracking could be occurred under partial shading condition(PSC). The problems are deduced by the analysis of conventional MPPTs. In this paper, a real maximum power point tracking for PV array under partially shaded condition is proposed. And proposed MPPT is analyzed by case study. It is confirmed by simulation results that the proposed MPPT can track the real MPP under partial shading condition.

Natural convection in annuli between the horizontal and vertical concentric cylinders for ratio of the inner to the outer radius, $R_1$=0.85, 0.35 has been studied by the numerical analysis. Governing equations are numerically sloved by means of Successive over-relaxation methods. It is found that maximum local Nusselt number, $Nu_{1.max}$ at the inner cylinder and $Nu_{2.max}$ at the outer cylinder for $R_2$=0.35 have maxima at ${\phi}=0^{\circ}$, ${\phi}=180^{\circ}$ ${\xi}=0.4$, 1.6 for horizontal cylinder and at bottom, top for vertical cylinder, respectively. In the present study, mean Nusselt numbers at the vertical cylinder increased more than that at the horizontal cylinder by about 64% for $R_1$=0.35.

This paper proposes a hybrid algorithm combining K-means clustering and watershed algorithms for flower segmentation and counting. We use the K-means clustering algorithm to obtain the main colors in a complex background according to the cluster centers and then take a color space transformation to extract pixel values for the hue, saturation, and value of flower color. Next, we apply the threshold segmentation technique to segment flowers precisely and obtain the binary image of flowers. Based on this, we take the Euclidean distance transformation to obtain the distance map and apply it to find the local maxima of the connected components. Afterward, the proposed algorithm adaptively determines a minimum distance between each peak and apply it to label connected components using the watershed segmentation with eight-connectivity. On a dataset of 30 images, the test results reveal that the proposed method is more efficient and precise for the counting of overlapped flowers ignoring the degree of overlap, number of overlap, and relatively irregular shape.

The characteristics of the sea breeze were investigated using the wind and temperature data collected from 300-m tower at Boseong from May 2014 to April 2018. Sea breeze day was detected using following criteria: 1) the presence of a clear change in wind direction near sunrise (between 1 hour after sunrise and 5 hours before sunset) and sunset (from 1500 LST to midnight), 2) presence of thermal forcing of sea breeze and 3) no heavy precipitation (rain < $10mm\;d^{-1}$). Sea breeze days occurred on 569 days for 4 years. The monthly distribution of sea breeze day occurrence shows maxima in May and September and minimum in December. The average onset and cessation times of the sea breeze are 0942 LST and 1802 LST, respectively. Although the 10-m wind shows clockwise rotation with time in the afternoon, the observed hodograph does not show an ideal elliptical shape and has different characteristics depending on the upper synoptic wind direction. Vertical structure of sea breeze shows local maximum of wind speed and local minimum of virtual potential temperature at 40 m in the afternoon for most synoptic conditions except for southeasterly synoptic wind ($60^{\circ}{\sim}150^{\circ}$) which is in the same direction as onshore flow. The local minimum of temperature is due to cold advection by sea breeze. During daytime, the intensity of inversion layer above 40 m is strongest in westerly synoptic wind ($240^{\circ}{\sim}330^{\circ}$) which is in the opposite direction to onshore flow.
