In this paper, objective functions are defined for optimization of radar absorbing structures (RAS) on the aircraft wing leading edge. RAS is regarded as a single layer structure made of dielectrics. Design variables are the real and imaginary parts of complex permittivity. Reflection coefficient(RC) and radar cross section(RCS) are used in the objective function respectively. Transmission line theory is employed to calculate the RC. The RCS is evaluated by using physical optics(PO) for a leading edge part model. Genetic algorithm(GA) is used to perform optimization procedures. The radar absorbing performance of designed RAS is assessed by the RCS of a wing which has RAS on the leading edge.

To detect defect of FPD(flat panel displays) is very difficult due to uneven illumination on FPD panel image. This paper presents a method to detect various types of defects using the approximated image of the uneven illumination by B-spline. To construct a approximated surface, corresponding to uneven illumination background intensity, while reducing random noises and small defect signal, only the lowest smooth subband is used by wavelet decomposition, resulting in reducing the computation time of taking B-spline approximation and enhancing detection accuracy. The approximated image in lowest LL subband is expanded as the same size as original one by wavelet reconstruction, and the difference between original image and reconstructed one becomes a flat image of compensating the uneven illumination background. A simple binary thresholding is then used to separate the defective regions from the subtracted image. Finally, blob analysis as post-processing is carried out to get rid of false defects. For applying in-line system, the wavelet transform by lifting based fast algorithm is implemented to deal with a huge size data such as film and the processing time is highly reduced.

We propose a color transfer method that used color contrast based templates to express the visual difference clearly between objects, while remaining the quality of the input image. Our algorithm employs colors of both the input image and template distributed on the $a^{\ast}b^{\ast}$chrominance plane of CIE $L^{\ast}a^{\ast}b^{\ast}$color space. The templates are made by considering the effect of color contrast and have the shape of either a line or a curve represented color distribution of the basic colors based gradation image. These tempates can be modeled on spline curves. We also generate simply new templates with the different basic colors by moving the control points of that curve. The color transfer method using the templates is done through a regressive analysis and color matching. We maintained color coherence of the input image by transforming similarly the color distribution of an input image to the one of templates.

As many types of magnetic sensors are widely applied in various industries, the analysis and processing of magnetic sensor data need to be accurate. On the other hand, owing to the complexity of the magnetic field line caused by a moving magnet, the magnetic data generated by magnetic sensors are unpredictably nonlinear. Many industry systems using magnetic sensors have struggled with the nonlinear nature of magnetic sensor data. To reduce the effect of the nonlinearity, they have the target objects fixed firmly. Therefore, to collect accurate and reliable data, considerable efforts have been made to resolve the issues with the expensive tools and systems required. Through this paper, to tackle the issues, the data analysis and methodologies, including intelligent algorithms, are presented for the wrist rehabilitation system using magnetic sensors while being implemented without using expensive tools or systems. On processing magnetic sensor data, this paper adopted an intelligent algorithm, fuzzy logic, and compared the performance of other algorithms for comparison.

The aim of this paper is to extract features from each news scenes for example, symbol icon which can be distinct each broadcasting corp, icon and caption which are has feature and important information for the scene in respectively, In this paper, we propose extraction methods of caption that has important prohlem of news videos and it can be classified in three steps, First of al!, we converted that input images from video frame to YIQ color vector in first stage. And then, we divide input image into regions in clear hy using equalized color histogram of input image, In last, we extracts caption using edge histogram based on vertical and horizontal line, We also propose the method which can extract news icon in selected key frames by the difference of inter-histogram and can divide each scene by the extracted icon. In this paper, we used comparison method of edge histogram instead of complex methcxls based on color histogram or wavelet or moving objects, so we shorten computation through using simpler algorithm. and we shown good result of feature's extraction.

This paper presents a 3-D visualization technique using stereo radioactive images to provide efficient inspection of fast moving cargo objects. The proposed technique can be used for such objects which CT or MRI cannot inspect due to restricted scan environment. Stereo radioactive images are acquired from a specially designed equipment which consists of a X-ray source, linear radioactive sensors, and a moving stage. Two radioactive sensors are installed so that rectified stereo X-ray images of objects are acquired. Using the stereo X-ray images, we run a matching algorithm to find the correspondences between the images and reconstruct 3-D shapes of real objects. The objects are put in a parallelepiped box to simulate cargo inspection. Three real objects are tested and reconstructed. Due to the inherent ambiguity in the stereo X-ray images, we reconstruct 3-D shapes of the edges of the objects. The experimental results show the proposed technique can provide efficient visualization for cargo inspection.

PCA(Principal Component Analysis) is a well-studied statistical technique and an important tool for handling multivariate data. Although many algorithms exist for PCA, most of them are unsuitable for real time applications or high dimensional problems. Since it is desirable to avoid extensive matrix operations in such cases, alternative solutions are required to calculate the eigenvalues and eigenvectors of the sample covariance matrix. Erdogmus et al. (2004) proposed Recursive PCA(RPCA), which is a fast adaptive on-line solution for PCA, based on the first order perturbation theory. It facilitates the real-time implementation of PCA by recursively approximating updated eigenvalues and eigenvectors. However, the performance of the RPCA method becomes questionable as the size of newly-added data increases. In this paper, we modified the RPCA method by taking advantage of the mathematical relation of eigenvalues and eigenvectors of sample covariance matrix. We compared the performance of the proposed algorithm with that of RPCA, and found that the accuracy of the proposed method remarkably improved.

This paper presents a new generation of system for pressure vessel and shipbuilding. Typical pressure vessel and ship building weld joint preparations are either traditional V, butt, fillet grooves or have narrow or semi narrow gap profiles. The fillet and U groove are prevalently used in heavy industries and shipbuilding to melt and join the parts. Since the wall thickness can be up to 6" or greater, welds must be made in many layers, each layer containing several passes. However, the welding time for the conventional processes such as SAW(Submerged Arc Welding) and FCAW(Flux Cored Arc Welding) can be many hours. Although SAW and FCAW are normally a mechanized process, pressure vessel and ship structures welding up to now have usually been controlled by a full time operator. The operator has typically been responsible for positioning each individual weld run, for setting weld process parameters, for maintaining flux and wire levels, for removing slag and so on. The aim of the system is to develop a high speed welding system with multitorch for increasing the production speed on the line and to remove the need for the operator so that the system can run automatically for the complete multi-torch multi-layer weld. To achieve this, a laser vision sensor, a rotating torch and an image processing algorithm have been made. Also, the multitorch welding system can be applicable for the fine grained steel because of the high welding speed and lower heat input compare to a conventional welding process.

In this paper, we proposed a method for estimating an accurate gamut based on segment maxima method. According to the number of segments in the segment maxima, a local concavity is generated in the vicinity of lightness axis or a gamut is reduced in high chroma region. It induces artifacts or deterioration of the image quality. To remove these artifacts, the number of segment is determined according to the number of samples. and a local concavity is modified by extending a detected concave point to the line connecting two adjacent boundary points. Experimental results show that the contours in a uniform color region and speckle artifacts from the conventional segment maxima algorithm are removed.

3-dimensional temperature distribution of the exhaust gas of a fire flame of LPG have been measured by the constructed CT-TDLAS system. 3-Dimensional temperature distributions are measured by 2 layers of CT-TDLAS. Each layer has $8{\times}8$ laser beams implying the temperatures of 64 meshes are measured. SMART algorithm has been adopted for reconstructing the absorption coefficients on the meshes. The line strengths at 6 representative wave lengths of $H_2O$ have been used for obtaining the absorption spectra of the exhaust gas. The temperature distributions measured by the constructed CT-TDLAS have been compared with those by the thermocouples. The relative errors measured between by thermocouple and CT-TDLAS were 13% in average and 33% at maximum. The similarity of temperature distribution between by thermocouples and by CT-TDLAS has been shown at the lower layer than the upper layer implying an unstability of combustions.
