This paper proposes an image processing algorithm for detecting obstacles on road using DLI(disparity of lane-related information) that is generated by stereo images acquired from dual cameras mounted on a moving vehicle. The DLI is a disparity that is acquired using a single lane information from road lane detection. For the purpose to reduce processing time, we use small block of edge-histogram based blocking logic. This algorithm detects moving objects such as preceding vehicles and obstacles. The proposed algorithm has been implemented in a personal computer with the road image data of a typical highway. We successfully performed experiments under a wide variety of road conditions without changing parameter values or adding human intervention. Experimental results also showed that the proposed DLI is quite successful.

In this paper, we propose a panorama-based object tracking scheme for wide-view surveillance systems that can detect and track moving objects with a pan-tilt camera. A dynamic mosaic of the background is progressively integrated in a single image using the camera motion information. For the camera motion estimation, we calculate affine motion parameters for each frame sequentially with respect to its previous frame. The camera motion is robustly estimated on the background by discriminating between background and foreground regions. The modified block-based motion estimation is used to separate the background region. Each moving object is segmented by image subtraction from the mosaic background. The proposed tracking system has demonstrated good performance for several test video sequences.

The new MPEG-4 video coding standard enables content-based functionalities. In order to support the philosophy of the MPEG-4 visual standard, each frame of video sequences should be represented in terms of video object planes (VOP’s). In other words, video objects to be encoded in still pictures or video sequences should be prepared before the encoding process starts. Therefore, it requires a prior decomposition of sequences into VOP’s so that each VOP represents a moving object. A parallel processing system is required an automatic segmentation to be processed in real-time, because an automatic segmentation is time consuming. This paper addresses the parallel processing: system for an automatic segmentation for separating moving object from the background in image sequences. The proposed parallel processing system comprises of processing elements (PE’s) and a multi-access memory system (MAMS). Multi-access memory system is a memory controller to perform parallel memory access with the variety of types: horizontal, vertical, and block access way. In order to realize these ways, a multi-access memory system consists of a memory module selection module, data routing modules, and an address calculation and routing module. The proposed system is simulated and evaluated by the CADENCE Verilog-XL hardware simulation package.

A new block system - MAS (Moving Autoblock System) whose efficiency is higher than FAS(Fixed Autoblock System) in the loading capacity is required to accomodate the increasing transport volume. That MAS has higher efficiency has already been verified through various studies, especially in a line with different types of travelling trains. The efficiency of MAS for Korean high speed line with two different train model is analyzed by computer simulation. The results show that MAS is more efficient than FAS in the loading capacity.

In this paper, a new nonlinear predictor using general regression neural network(GRNN) is proposed for the subband coding of moving pictures. The performance of a proposed nonlinear predictor is compared with BMA(Block Match Algorithm), the most conventional motion estimation technique. As a result, the nonlinear predictor using GRNN can predict well more 2-3dB than BMA. Specially, because of having a clustering process and smoothing noise signals, this predictor well preserves edges in frames after predicting the subband signal. This result is important with respect of human visual system and is excellent performance for the subband coding of moving pictures.

The load characteristics of engine main bearing are very important in the design of crankshaft and engine block. The stiffness of crankshaft and block, or the optimal dimension of the bearing can be determined according to the load level. This paper presents the load characteristics of engine main bearing. Two components of the main bearing load are measured during engine firing and motoring. The vertical and horizontal load components are measured by using the dynamic load cell mounted in each main bearing cap bolt. The measured main bearing loads are compared with calculated results by using the statically determinate method. The theoretical results, provided in this study, agreed well with the experimental results. The presented results are very useful for achieving optimal design of engine.

A moving mesh system is one of the critical parts in a computational fluid dynamics analysis. In this study, the RBF(Radial Basis Function) which shows better performance than hybrid meshes was developed to obtain the deformed grid. The RBF method can handle large mesh deformations caused by translations, rotations and deformations, both for 2D and 3D meshes. Another advantage of the method is that it can handle both structured and unstructured grids with ease. The method uses a volume spline technique to compute the deformation of block vertices and block edges, and deformed shape.

Accurate and reliable tracking system is essential for the central train control system. There are two systems widely being used, one is the fixed block system which utilizes the track circuit for the detection of train position, the other is the moving block system which has the advantage over the former since it enables shorter radio signal for the train position detection. In this paper a new algorithm is proposed which uses signal's phase difference of arrival to detect the train position. Experimental verification of the algorithm is presented in the paper.

An iterative time marching procedure for solving incompressible internal flow has been applied to the flow around a rotor-stator. This procedure solves three-dimensional incompressible Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes equation on a moving, time-deforming, non-orthogonal body-fitted grid using second-order accurate schemes for the time derivatives and third/second-order accurate schemes for the spatial derivatives. To handle rotationg geometry, the multiblock technique is applied and the overall flow domain is subdivided into two blocks. In each block, a grid is generated and flowfield is solved independently of the other blocks. The boundary data for each block is provided by the neighboring blocks using bilinear interpolation technique.

이미지 압축에서 레인지 블록들을 분할하는 것은 매우 중요한 문제이다. 본 논문에서는 프랙탈 이미지 압축기법에서 사용하는 분할-합병 기법을 동영상의 압축에 적용하였다. Quad-tree 방식은 top-down 방식으로 유사한 도메인 블록을 찾지 못하였을 경우 그 레인지를 4 등분하여 각각의 도메인 블록을 찾는 방식이다. 분할-합병 기법은 bottom-up 방식으로 Quad-tree 방식과 달리 주어진 크기의 원자 블록(atomic block)들을 도메인과의 유사성에 따라 연결함으로써 레인지를 불규칙적인 형태로 합병할 수 있다. 이 방식을 이용하여 동영상에서의 화질과 압축률의 개선을 기대할 수 있다.
