For digital image compression, various fractal image coding schemes using the self-similarity of image have been studied extensively. This paper discusses the problem that occurs during the calculating process of adaptive orthogonal transformation and provides improvements of LIFS coding scheme using the transformation. This proposed scheme has a better performance than JPEG for a wide range of compression ratio. This research also proposes an image composition method consisting of all domains of the transformation. The results show that the arithmetic operation processes of the encoder and the decoder become much smaller even without the distortion of the coding performance.

In recent years, researches on rotary inverted pendulum control systems have been significantly focused due their highly nonlinear dynamics and complicated geometric structures. This paper presents a novel control approach for such systems by means of similarity transformation theory. At first, we represent nonlinear system dynamics to the controllability-formed state space model including a time-varying parameter vector. We establish the state-feedback control configuration based on the transformed model and derive an adaptive control law for adjusting desired characteristic equation. Numerical analysis is achieved to evaluate our control method and demonstrate its superiority by comparing it to the traditional control strategy. Furthermore, real-time control experiment is carried out to test its practical reliability.

In this paper, we investigate the similarity transformations in the Minkowski n-space. We study the geometric invariants of non-null curves under the similarity transformations. Besides, we extend the fundamental theorem for a non-null curve according to a similarity motion of ${\mathbb{E}}_1^n$. We determine the parametrizations of non-null self-similar curves in ${\mathbb{E}}_1^n$.

New methods to register multiple hemispheric slices of the postmortem brain to anatomically corresponding in-vivo MRI slices within a 3D volumetric MRI are presented. Gel-embedding and fiducial markers are used to reduce geometrical distortions in the postmortem brain volume. The registration algorithm relies on a recursive extraction of warped MRI slices from the reference MRI volume using a modified non-linear polynomial transformation until matching slices are found. Eight different voxel similarity measures are tested to get the best co-registration cost and the results show that combination of two different similarity measures shows the best performance. After validating the implementation and approach through simulation studies, the presented methods are applied to real data. The results demonstrate the feasibility and practicability of the presented co­registration methods, thus providing a means of MR signal analysis and histological examination of tissue lesions via co­registered images of postmortem brain slices and their corresponding MRI sections. With this approach, it is possible to investigate the pathology of a disease through both routinely acquired MRls and postmortem brain slices, thus improving the understanding of the pathological substrates and their progression.

Along with the popularity of GPS system and smart cell phone, trajectories of pedestrians or vehicles are recorded at any time. The great amount of works had been carried out in order to discover traffic paradigms or other regular patterns buried in the huge trajectory dataset. The core of the mining algorithm is how to evaluate the similarity, that is, the "distance", between trajectories appropriately, then the mining results will be accordance to the reality. Euclidean distance is commonly used in the lots of existed algorithms to measure the similarity, however, the trend of trajectories is usually ignored during the measurement. In this paper, a novel segment transform distance (STD) algorithm is proposed, in which a rule system of line segment transformation is established. The similarity of two-line segments is quantified by the cost of line segment transformation. Further, an improvement of STD, named ST-DTW, is advanced with the use of the traditional method dynamic time warping algorithm (DTW), accelerating the speed of calculating STD. The experimental results show that the error rate of ST-DTW algorithm is 53.97%, which is lower than that of the LCSS algorithm. Besides, all the weights of factors could be adjusted dynamically, making the algorithm suitable for various kinds of applications.

The main purpose of this study is to investigate the coordinate transformation based on two different systems between local geodetic datum(tokyo datum) and international geocentric datum(new Korea geodetic datum). For this purpose, three methods were used to determine seven parameters as follows: Bursa-Wolf model, Molodensky-Badekas model, and Veis model. Also, we adopted multiple regression equation method to convert from Tokyo datum to KTRF. We used 935 control points as a common points and applied gross error analysis for detecting the outlier among those control points. The coordinate transformation was carried out using similarity transformation applied the obtained seven parameters and the precision of transformed coordinate was evaluated about 9,917 third or forth order control points. From these results, it was found that Bursa-Wolf model and Molodensky-Badekas model are more suitable than other for the determination of transformation parameters in Korea. And, transforming accuracy using MRE is lower than other similarity transformation model.

The fluid flow, mass transfer and film thickness variation during a wafer spin coating process are numerically studied. Governing equations for the cylindrical coordinates are simplified using the similarity transformation and solved efficiently using the finite difference method. Concentration dependent viscosity and the binary diffusivity of the coating liquid are used in the analysis. The time variational velocity components of the coating liquid and the film thickness are analyzed according to the various spin speed. When the evaporation is considered, the flow decease in the early times due to the increase of the viscosity and the resultant flow resistance. Effects of the two film thinning mechanism, the flow-out and evaporation are also considered in the analysis.

The fluid flow, mass transfer, heat transfer and film thickness variation during the spin coating process are numerically studied. The model is said to be I-dimensional because radial variations in film thickness, concentration and temperature are ignored. The finite difference method is employed to solve the equations that are simplified using the similarity transformation. In early time, the film thinning is due to the radial convective outflow. However that slows during the first seconds of spinning so the film thinning due to evaporation of solvent becomes sole. The time varing film thickness is analyzed according to the wafer spin speed, the various solvent fraction in the coating liquid, and the various solvent vapor fraction in the bulk of the overlying gas during the spin coating is estimated.

Sometimes characterized graphic map rather than realistic graphic map can help users to understand information more easily. This paper tried to reveal the relation between the methodology to create outline on the map using caricature automatic algorism and level of human cognition. Caricature algorism such as exaggeration transformation algorism, joint transformation algorism and simplification algorism were used to create outline on the map. In order to apply exaggeration transformation algorism and joint transformation algorism, the method to create average form of the object were developed. We survey how users recognize the similarity of the characterized map with the real map when realistic map is simplified by certain value of simplification rate and transformed into certain value of exaggeration rate or joint transformation rate. We also survey how users recognize the similarity differently according to the scale of the map. As a result of this study, the method to calculate the optimal data is developed for users to recognize caricatured map effectively by shifting scale. This data can be used as basic data, when map developers create outline of map with programming code on computer

In this paper, miniaturization of an elliptic-response open-loop resonator filter and design flexibility using similarity transformation of the coupling matrix are proposed. Moreover, the filter with wider fractional bandwidth is designed by the proposed method. In order to verify the proposed method, three 4th-order elliptic-response open-loop resonator filters with a relative bandwidth of 4 % at the center frequency of 2.0 GHz are designed. One is realized with constant-width microstrip line resonator and the others are implemented with different-width microstrip line resonator. Compared with the former one, the latter have shown the size reduction of 13 % and 25 %, respectively. Since it may not be possible to implement the resonators with very narrow spacing for the required coupling coefficient filters with two different configurations representing same response characteristic through similarity transformation of the coupling matrix are proposed. From this design flexibility, a filter with a relative bandwidth of 8 % at the center frequency of 2.0 GHz is designed with realizable design parameters.
