This paper presents the development and application of electrical resistance imaging techniques for the visualization of two-phase flow fields. Two algorithms, the so-called the mesh grouping and the boundary estimation, are described for potential applications of electrical resistance tomography (ERT) and results from extensive numerical simulations are also presented. In the electrical resistance imaging for two-phase flows, numerical meshes fairly belonging to each phase can be grouped to improve the reconstruction performance. In many cases, the detection of phase boundary is a key subject and a mathematical model to estimate phase boundary can be formulated in a different manner. Our results indicated that the mesh grouping algorithm is effective to enhance computational performance and image quality, and boundary estimation algorithm to determine the phase boundary directly.

Estimating the phase boundary in two-phase flow is crucial for designing and optimizing industrial processes. Electrical impedance tomography (EIT) is a promising technique for imaging phase distribution in such flows. This paper proposes using a cuckoo search (CS) optimization algorithm to estimate the phase boundary with EIT. The boundary is parameterized using the Fourier series, and the coefficients are determined by the CS algorithm. The CS algorithm iteratively seeks the phase boundary configuration by minimizing a cost function. Computer simulations and phantom experiments demonstrate the effectiveness of this method in estimating phase boundaries in two-phase flow.

상 경계 추정 문제에서는 초기치에 따라 그 추정성능이 달라질 수 있다. 하지만 실제의 유동 공정에서는 초기치 설정을 위한 기포의 개수와 개략적인 위치 정보를 알 수가 없기 때문에, 초기치 설정 문제는 더욱 중요하다. 따라서 이 논문에서는 상 경계 추정을 위한 초기치 설정을 위해 우선 차이(difference) 복원 방법을 사용하여 미지의 저항률 분포를 추정하고, 중간모드(intermodes) 방법을 사용하여 적응 문턱치를 자동으로 계산하였으며, 이를 바탕으로 기포의 개수와 초기 위치를 결정하였다. 이로써 잡음이 존재하는 경우에도 기포의 상 경계를 잘 추정할 수 있는 방법을 개발하였다. 이에 몇 가지 시나리오를 설정하고 모의실험을 통해 제안한 방법의 상 경계 추정성능을 평가하였다.

The grain boundary resistivity of a 1-mol%-$Al_2O_3$-dopedd CaO-Stabilized Zirconia(CSZ) specimen was determined by impedance spectroscopy using sub-millimeter-scale electrodes. At the initial stage of sintering, the grain-boundary resistivity of the specimen interior was observed to be higher than that of the surface. However, upon further sintering the boundary resistivity of the specimen interior became lower than that of the surface. The results were explained in terms of a redistribution of the intergranular liquid phase. The liquid phase was predicted to initially coagulate at the interior of the specimen then spread outward during sintering.

The boundary estimation problem is used to estimate the shape of organic depend on the phase of the cardiac cycle or interested in the detection of the location and size of anomalies with resistivity values different from the background tissues such as nuclear reactor. And we can use the method to solve the optimal solution such as modified Newton raphson, kalman filter, extended kalman filter, etc. But, this method consumes much time and is sensitive to the initial value and noise in the estimation of the unknown shape. In the paper, we propose that multi-layer neural networks estimate the boundary of the unknown object using Fourier coefficient. This method can be used at the real time estimation and have strong characteristics at the noise and initial value. It uses voltage change; difference the homogeneous voltage to the non-homogeneous voltage, and change of Fourier coefficient change to train multi-layer neural network. After train, we can have real time estimation using this method.

In stratified flows of two immiscible liquids, due to the vibration in a pipe, the shape of the interface is not always periodic and it causes the different end points of the interfacial boundary. In this case the performance is not good. To solve this, in this paper, the hybrid-type Fourier series is proposed, which consists of both the polynomial and the trigonometric terms. Under the stationary interfacial boundary during acquiring a full set of voltage data, the performance of the proposed method is evaluated through the numerical experiments. The results show that the proposed method performs better than the conventional Fourier series in estimating the interfacial boundary.

A numerical study on the Stefan problem occurred in cryosurgery is performed. Crank-Nicholson type finite difference algorithm based on the enthaly method is adapted to solve the phase change problem in this study. As it is a moving boundary problem, special emphasis is put on the estimation of the freezing front location. Two cases selected here are freezings of human tissue by disk type cryoprobe and by hemispherical one. In both cases, the heat flows are considered to be one dimensional. The calculated results using enthalpy method are compared with those using the program TRUMP and with Neumann's solution. These results agree guite well with each other. While it is pretty difficult to get accurate freezing front location by TRUMP due to the so- called "phase change knee" occured during the phase change, the algorithm based on the enthalpy method is proved to be very powerful to cope with this kind of problem.f problem.

사용자들은 그들의 관심이 관심지점 (POI: Point-of-Interest)과 관련이 있다는 사실을 언급하기 위해 위치 기반 소셜 네트워크에 체크인하거나 그들의 상태를 올리는 경향이 있다. 관심지역 (AOI: Area-of-Interest)을 찾는 기존 연구는 대부분 위치 기반 소셜 네트워크로부터 수집된 공간 태그된 사진과 함께 밀도 기반 군집화 기법을 사용하여 수행되었다. 반면, 본 연구에서는 POI 중심을 포함한 하나의 군집에 해당하는 POI 경계선을 추정하는 데에 초점을 맞춘다. 트위터 사용자들로부터의 공간 태그된 트윗을 사용하여 POI 중심으로부터 도달할 수 있는 적절한 반경을 찾음으로써 POI 경계선을 추정하는 밀도 기반 저복잡도 두 단계 방법을 소개한다. 두 단계 밀도 기반 추정을 통해 선택된 공간 태그의 convex hull로써 POI 경계선을 추정하는데, 각 단계에서 다른 크기의 반경 증가를 가정하여 진행한다. 제안한 방법은 기본 밀도 기반 군집화 방법보다 계산 복잡도 측면에서 우수한 성능을 가짐을 보인다.

We present a region-based approach for accurate pose estimation of small mechanical components. Our algorithm consists of two key phases: Multi-view object co-segmentation and pose estimation. In the first phase, we explain an automatic method to extract binary masks of a target object captured from multiple viewpoints. For initialization, we assume the target object is bounded by the convex volume of interest defined by a few user inputs. The co-segmented target object shares the same geometric representation in space, and has distinctive color models from those of the backgrounds. In the second phase, we retrieve a 3D model instance with correct upright orientation, and estimate a relative pose of the object observed from images. Our energy function, combining region and boundary terms for the proposed measures, maximizes the overlapping regions and boundaries between the multi-view co-segmentations and projected masks of the reference model. Based on high-quality co-segmentations consistent across all different viewpoints, our final results are accurate model indices and pose parameters of the extracted object. We demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method using various examples.

This paper investigates a boundary tracking problem using multiple quadrotor UAVs to detect and track the boundary of physical events. We set the boundary estimation problem as a classification problem of the region in which the physical events occur, and employ SVL (Support Vector Learning). We also demonstrate a velocity vector field which is globally attractive to a desired closed path with circulation at the desired speed and a virtual phase for stabilizing the collective configuration of the multiple quadrotors. Experimental results with multiple quadrotors show that this study provides good performance of the collective boundary tracking.
