Ant Colony System(ACS) is easily applicable to the traveling salesman problem(TSP) and it has demonstrated good performance on TSP. Recently, ACS has been emerged as the useful tool for the pattern recognition, feature extraction, and edge detection. The edge detection is wifely utilized in the area of document analysis, character recognition, and face recognition. However, the conventional operator-based edge detection approaches require additional postprocessing steps for the application. In the present study, in order to overcome this shortcoming, we have proposed the new ACS-based edge detection algorithm. The experimental results indicate that this proposed algorithm has the excellent performance in terms of robustness and flexibility.

본 논문에서는 블록기반 동영상 부호화에서 나타나는 양자화 잡음을 그 특성에 맞게 모델링을 하고, 이를 기반으로 웨이블렛 변환(wavelet transform)을 이용하여 양자화 잡음을 제거하는 후처리 방법을 제안한다. 제안된 방법에서는 양자화 잡음을 특정 프로화일(profile)로 표현되는 블록화 잡음과 비에지 화소(non-edge pixel)에서 백색 가우시안 특성을 가지는 나머지 잡음의 합으로 모델링 한다. 이러한 양자화 잡음의 모델을 기반으로 정칙화 미분(regularized differentiation)을 표현하는 Mallat의 1차원 웨이브렛 변환을 이용하여 영상복원 관점에서 각각의 잡음을 제거한다. 먼저, 웨이브렛 영역의 블록경계에서 임펄스로 나타나는 블록화 잡음 성분들의 크기를 추정하여 줄임으로 해서 블록화 잡음을 제거한다. 이때 임펄스 크기의 추정은 메디안 필터와 양자화 파라미터(quantization parameter), 그리고 국부 활동도(local activity)를 이용하여 이루어진다. 그리고 나머지 잡음은 비에지 화소에서 연역치화(soft-thresholding)을 수행함으로써 제거한다. 이러한 후처리 방법의 구현은 실시간 응용을 위해 웨이브렛 필터를 이용하여 근사적으로 공간 영역에서 이루어진다. 실험 결과, 제안된 방법이 다양한 영상과 압축률에 대해 MPEG-4 VM(verification model) 후처리 필터(post-filter)보다 PSNR 성능뿐만 아니라 주관적 화질면에서도 우수함을 확인하였다.

The commutator of an automotive fuel pump motorhas been produced through various processes such as forging, segmenting, and assembling. And the conventional method producing the commutator of an automotive fuel pump motor is not appropriate for saving material and cost, because it makes each segment separated one by one. Therefore a new process design is required in order to avoid the assembling process. In this study, a new process design of the commutator has been carried out to save material and manufacturing time by FE analysis. In the FE analysis, three forging processes are proposed for producing copper(ASTM C11000) commutator of an automotive fuel pump motor. And forging experiments are performed to make an unsegmented commutator in order to verify the theoretically proposed process. And then, in order to get the final product the forged commutator is passed through various postprocessing such as machining, bending, resin forming, and shearing process. From the experimental result the forging process proposed from the FE analysis is verified to be an economical method for producing the commutator for an automotive fuel pump motor.

The purpose of this study is the development of a system for estimating non-point sources pollutant loads from a watershed, which enables users to get insights of pollutant load distribution in the watershed during rain as well. Based on the Geographic Information System, this non-point source pollutant loading estimation system(NSPLES) consists of three distinct models such as a distributed rainfall-runoff model, a soil loss and delivery model, and a non-point source pollutant model. It also includes GIS modules for preprocessing the input data for the models and graphical postprocessing of the model outputs. The system output aren't only the hydrograph, sedimentograph, and pollutograph at the watershed outlet, but also various maps that show the distribution of soil loss over the watershed. The developed system was applied to the two upper stream areas of Sumjin river basin, Ssangchi and Gwanchon basins, and three rainfall events for respective subbasins during 1992 and 1998 were selected for the system application. The results of this showed relatively higher corelation between observed data and simulated data, and proved the applicability of the system.

Recently, the old surveying method for acquiring surveying-geo information results had a low economic efficiency and a low dependence of precision because it took much times and high costs. So, we acquired law data by execution of control surveying through Static positioning of DGPS(Ashtech). It is computed plainmetric(X, Y) positioning through postprocessing by Prism S/W. And we computed height(Z) through control surveying by ring-closed leveling surveying. After control surveying execution, we built DEM(Digital Elevation Model) using LDT S/W and accuracy 3D detail surveying by EDM(Electronic Distance Measurement) surveying. The purpose of this study was to yield automated digital mapping and the automated amount of materials using ahead data. The conclusions were as follows; First, we built the automated amount of materials system and got high efficiency about personnel, times and precision. Second, when, people precisely positioned on railroads of a high-speed railroad and used GPS surveying, the result was permitted. Finally, it was possible to draw automated profile and cross-section using the 3D terrain model build with the DEM technique.

Recently, metal molding has become essential not only for automobile parts, but also mass production, and has greatly influenced production costs as well as the quality of products. Its surface has been treated by carburizing, nitriding and induction hardening, but these existing treatments cause considerable deformation and increase the expense of postprocessing after treatment; furthermore, these treatments cannot be easily applied to parts that requiring the hardening of only a certain section. This is because the treatment cannot heat the material homogeneously, nor can it heat all of it. Laser surface treatment was developed to overcome these disadvantages, and, when the laser beam is irradiated on the surface and laser speed is appropriate, the laser focal position is rapidly heated and the thermal energy of surface penetrates the material after irradiation, finally imbuing it with a new mechanical characteristic by the process of self-quenching. This research estimates the material characteristic after efficient and functional surface treatment using HPDL, which is more efficient than the existing CW Nd:YAG laser heat source.

한정된 네트워크 대역폭을 가진 현재의 인터넷에서 영상의 품질을 향상시키기 위해 영상의 비트율을 높이는 것은 비용 등 여러 가지 문제로 인해 현실적으로 많은 어려움이 있다. 따라서 비록 충분하지 못한 비트율의 영상을 전송받더라도 전송받은 영상의 화질을 높이는 연구가 다양한 방법으로 진행되고 있다. 영상의 화질을 향상시키는 많은 방법 중 후처리 기법은 이러한 잡음을 효과적으로 제거 할 수 있으면서 동영상 압축 표준 복호기를 수정할 필요가 없기 때문에 좋은 해결책이 된다. 동영상의 압축 과정에서 낮은 비트율로 인해 발생하는 화질 열화 현상 중에 쉽게 완화 할 수 있고, 영상의 질이 비용 대비 높은 효율로 좋아지는 대표적인 현상이 블록화 현상이다. 일반적으로 블록화 현상은 영상의 고주파대역에서 나타나므로 본 논문에서 영상의 고주파 성분과 블록화 현상을 구분하기 위해 Sobel 마스크를 사용한다. 구분된 블록화 현상이 발생한 매크로블록의 양쪽 경계면에 4-tap 저주파 통과 필터를 사용하여 블록화 현상을 효과적으로 완화할 수 있다. 개선된 영상의 화질 평가 기법으로 신호처리 분야에서 많이 사용되는 객관적인 지표인 PSNR에 의한 평가와 함께 실제 인간의 시각을 기준으로 주관적이고 감성적인 관찰에 의한 평가를 함께 수행한다.

본 논문에서는 인터넷 스트리밍 및 모바일 응용 등에서 요구되는 저 비트율 비디오를 위한 효과적인 후처리 기법을 제안한다. 블록기반 압축영상의 특성상 낮은 비트율에서는 블록킹 현상과 같은 화질열화가 불가피하다. 이러한 블록기반 압축영상의 블록킹 현상에 대하여 본 논문에서 제안한 디블록킹 기법은 블록 경계 주변의 특성에 따라 필터링 모드를 달리 적용하여 효율적으로 블록킹 현상을 제거함으로서 주관적, 객관적 화질을 향상시킨다. 제안한 알고리즘에서는 모드 선택의 정확성을 높이기 위하여 저역통과필터를 이용한 간단한 전처리 과정을 거치도록 하고, 또한 영상의 실제 에지와 블록킹 현상을 구분하기 위하여 3가지 모드를 도입하며, 이를 통해 필터링에 의한 실제 에지 부분의 화질열화를 방지하도록 한다. 마지막으로 corner outlier와 같은 특수한 artifact의 제거를 위해 별도의 모드를 추가한다. 실험에서는 MPEG-4로 복호된 영상에 대하여 제안한 필터를 적용하고, 최근 표준화가 완료된 H.264의 루프필터 및 최근 발표된 저 비트율 비디오에 대한 후처리 기법과의 비교실험을 통하여 제안된 방법의 성능을 평가한다.

Deferred Shading is a shading technique that postprocesses pixels in the screen space, following geometry-only rendering passes with depth buffering. Unlike typical shadow mapping techniques, this technique allows us to render shadows from multiple light sources without changing the structure of the rendering pipelines. This paper presents a deferred shadow mapping technique and its extension to soft shadows using mipmapping. Our technique first generates visibility maps from light sources, and blurs the visibility maps for deferred shading. This strategy leads to efficient soft-edged shadows, but does not incorporate depth variation, producing light bleeding to some extent. In order to suppress the light-bleeding artifacts, we also propose a depth-adaptive mipmap sampling technique in the screen space.
