Recently, LG chemical corporation developed new material called HYPERIER, which has an excellent barrier characteristic. It has many layers which are made of nano-composite within LDPE(Low-Density Poly Ethylene). In order to guarantee the quality of the final product from the production line, a certain test equipment is required to investigate the existence of layers inside the HYPERIER. In this work, ultrasonic sensor based test equipment for investigating the existence of inner layers is proposed. However, it is a tedious job for human operators to check the existence by just looking at the resounding waveform from ultrasonic sensor. Therefore, to enhance the performance of the ultrasonic test equipment, Fast Fourier Transform(FFT) and Principle Components Analysis(PCA) and Back-Propagation Neural Network(BPNN) are utilized which is used for classification of Quality. To verily the feasibility of the proposed scheme, some experiments are executed.

This paper proposes a novel approach to recognize nine kinds of motion for a multifunction myoelectric hand, acquiring four channel EMG signals from electrodes placed on the forearm. To analyze EMG with properties of nonstationary signal, time-frequency features are extracted by wavelet packet transform. For dimensionality reduction and nonlinear mapping of the features, we also propose a feature projection composed of PCA and SOFM. The dimensionality reduction by PCA simplifies the structure of the classifier, and reduces processing time for the pattern recognition. The nonlinear mapping by SOFM transforms the PCA-reduced features to a new feature space with high class separability. Finally a multilayer neural network is employed as the pattern classifier. From experimental results, we show that the proposed method enhances the recognition accuracy, and makes it possible to implement a real-time pattern recognition.

In this paper. we propose a new digital watermarking technique which uses the self-similarity of OCT(Discrete Cosine Transform) coefficients for the ownership protection of an image, similar coefficients are classified by SOM(Self-Organizing Map) out of Neural Network. The watermark is inserted into the selected cluster among clusters which consist of coefficients. Generally, the inserted watermark in high frequency regions of an image is eliminated by the compression process such as JPEG compressions, and the inserted watermark in low frequency regions of an image causes the distortion of an image quality. Therefore, the watermark is inserted into the cluster that has many coefficients in the middle frequency regions. This algorithm reduces the distortion of an image quality because of inserting the watermark into an image according to the number of coefficients in selected cluster. To extract watermarks from the watermarked image, the selected cluster is used without an original image. In the experiment, the new proposed algorithm have a good quality and endure attacks(JPEG compressions, filtering. zoom in, zoom out, cropping, noises) very well.

In this paper, we propose a new gaze detection method using 2-D facial images captured by a camera on top of the monitor. We consider only the facial rotation and translation and not the eyes' movements. The proposed method computes the gaze point caused by the facial rotation and the amount of the facial translation respectively, and by combining these two the final gaze point on a monitor screen can be obtained. We detected the gaze point caused by the facial rotation by using a neural network(a multi-layered perceptron) whose inputs are the 2-D geometric changes of the facial features' points and estimated the amount of the facial translation by image processing algorithms in real time. Experimental results show that the gaze point detection accuracy between the computed positions and the real ones is about 2.11 inches in RMS error when the distance between the user and a 19-inch monitor is about 50~70cm. The processing time is about 0.7 second with a Pentium PC(233MHz) and 320${\times}$240 pixel-size images.

Recent development in science and technology has modernized the weapon system of ROKN (Republic Of Korea Navy). Although the cost of purchasing, operating and maintaining the cutting-edge weapon systems has been increased significantly, the national defense expenditure is under a tight budget constraint. In order to maintain the availability of ships with low cost, we need accurate demand forecasts for spare parts. We attempted to find consumption pattern using data mining techniques. First we gathered a large amount of component consumption data through the DELIIS (Defense Logistics Intergrated Information System). Through data collection, we obtained 42 variables such as annual consumption quantity, ASL selection quantity, order-relase ratio. The objective variable is the quantity of spare parts purchased in f-year and MSE (Mean squared error) is used as the predictive power measure. To construct an optimal demand forecasting model, regression tree model, randomforest model, neural network model, and linear regression model were used as data mining techniques. The open software R was used for model construction. The results show that randomforest model is the best value of MSE. The important variables utilized in all models are consumption quantity, ASL selection quantity and order-release rate. The data related to the demand forecast of spare parts in the DELIIS was collected and the demand for the spare parts was estimated by using the data mining technique. Our approach shows improved performance in demand forecasting with higher accuracy then previous work. Also data mining can be used to identify variables that are related to demand forecasting.

The regional frequency analysis is the method which uses not only sample of target station but also sample of neighborhood stations in which are classified as hydrological homogeneous regions. Consequently, identification of homogeneous regions is a very important process in regional frequency analysis. In this study, homogeneous regions for regional frequency analysis of precipitation were identified by the self-organizing map (SOM) which is one of the artificial neural network. Geographical information and hourly rainfall data set were used in order to perform the SOM. Quantization error and topographic error were computed for identifying the optimal SOM map. As a result, the SOM model organized by $7{\times}6$ array with 42 nodes was selected and the selected stations were classified into 6 clusters for rainfall regional frequency analysis. According to results of the heterogeneity measure, all 6 clusters were identified as homogeneous regions and showed more homogeneous regions compared with the result of previous study.

This paper presents stabilization and position control of the Inverted-Pendulum system with cart by using Evolution Strategies that is one of the Evolutionary Computation and is effective in searching real number. The control input of the Inverted-Pendulum is the element of chromosome corresponding to the divided space of Inverted-Pendulum state variable x, x, 0, 0 . In general, the larger the length of the chromosome is, the longer the time of evolution to search optimal solution is. So in this paper, we propose a scheme that reduce the state space by half by taking the method, that is, converting only the sign of the control input without obtaining separately for the symmetrical sections of the Inverted-Pendulum to improve the speed of Evolution, and improved the efficiency of the entire system in addition to the improvement of the chromosome's evolution time by carrying out the chromosome's evolutional process by two steps one of which is that cart is positioned near the control point and the other cart is positioned far from that point. We propose another method that is Neural Network-Evolution StrategiedNN-ES) Controller. We verify the effectiveness of the proposed control scheme by computer simulations.

Smartphone addiction has become more serious than internet addiction since people can download and run numerous applications with smartphones even without internet connection. However, smartphone addiction is not sufficiently dealt with in current studies. The S-scale method developed by Korea National Information Society Agency involves so many questions that respondents are likely to avoid the diagnosis itself. Moreover, since S-scale is determined by the total score of responded items without taking into account of demographic variables, it is difficult to get an accurate result. Therefore, in this paper, we have extracted important factors from all data, which affect smartphone addiction, including demographic variables. Then we classified the selected items with a neural network. The result of a comparative analysis with backpropagation learning algorithm and multiclass support vector machine shows that learning rate is slightly higher in multiclass SVM. Since multiclass SVM suggested in this paper is highly adaptable to rapid changes of data, we expect that it will lead to a more accurate self-diagnosis of smartphone addiction.
