In this paper, we present a sign language recognition model which does not use any wearable devices for object tracking. The system design issues and implementation issues such as data representation, feature extraction and pattern classification methods are discussed. The proposed data representation method for sign language patterns is robust for spatio-temporal variances of feature points. We present a feature extraction technique which can improve the computation speed by reducing the amount of feature data. A neural network model which is capable of incremental learning is described and the behaviors and learning algorithm of the model are introduced. We have defined a measure which reflects the relevance between the feature values and the pattern classes. The measure makes it possible to select more effective features without any degradation of performance. Through the experiments using six types of sign language patterns, the proposed model is evaluated empirically.

The results of experimental investigation of coherent structures beneath wind-generated waves in deep water are presented. Vorticity fields of deepwater wind waves were visualized by analyzing the velocity fields obtained by PIV measurements under different wind and fetch conditions. In addition, spatio-temporal evolution of the coherent structures and subsequent changes in vertical profiles of the instantaneous vorticity were qualitatively examined. It was found that a coherent structure is formed right underneath the wave crest and traveled in phase with the surface wave. The direction of rotation of the coherent structure was contrary to the wave orbital motion when wind speed is less than 10 m/s, while was same as the wave orbital motion when wind speed is approximately 13 m/s and wave breaking occurs at the wave crest. In the near-surface region, complex vortex-vortex interactions were observed according to the traveling of the coherent structure. In contrast, coherent structures far below the water surface changed little due to weak influence of orbital motion by the surface waves.

Numerical analysis has the advantage that no actual flow pathways need to be formulated, making this technique especially useful for simulation analysis such as pathway design. However, it does require that the complete physical parameters of the fluid and the complete boundary conditions be known. If any of them are unknown, either the calculation will become impossible, or even if the calculation does converge, the reliability of the result will be low. Therefore, a means of more accurate acquisition of flow information is required. In this paper, we present techniques for estimating flow field from a constraint equation for image information and velocity field, based on the image intensity changes accompanying the motion of dye in waterway. In the equation, we entered a stabilizing term to suppress estimation error. We show the effectiveness of our method through experiments with generated and real images of a Karman vortex.

Recently, with the rapid development of location-based techniques, index structures to efficiently manage moving objects have been required. In this paper, we propose a new spatio-temporal index structure that supports a future position retrieval and minimizes a update cost. The proposed index structure combines an assistant index structure that directly accesses current positions of moving objects with KDB-tree that is a space partitioning access method. The internal node in our proposed index structure keeps time parameters in order to support the future position retrieval and to minimize a update cost. Moreover, we propose new update and split methods to maximize the space utilization and the search performance. We perform various experiments to show that our proposed index structure outperforms the existing index structure.

Recently, use of various position base servicesthat collect position information for moving object and utilize in real life is increasing by the development of wireless network technology. Accordingly, new index structures are required to efficiently retrieve the consecutive positions of moving objects. This paper addresses an improved trajectory split algorithm for the purpose of efficiently supporting spatio-temporal range queries using index structures that use Minimum Bounding Rectangles(MBR) as trajectory approximations. We consider volume of Extended Minimum Bounding Rectangles (EMBR) to be determined by average size of range queries. Also, Use a priority queue to speed up our process. This algorithm gives in general sub-optimal solutions with respect to search space. Our improved trajectory split algorithm is going to derive minimizing volume of EMBRs better than previously proposed split algorithm.

In this paper, a new block-matching algorithm for standard video encoder is presented. The slice competition method is proposed as a new scheme, as opposed to a coarse-to-fine approach. The order of calculating the SAD(Sum of Absolute Difference) to fad the best matching block is changed from a raster order to a dispersed one. Based on this scheme, the increasing SAD curve during its calculation is more linear than that of other curves. Then, the candidates of low probability can be removed in the early stage of calculation. And new MV prediction technique with an adaptive search range scheme also assists the proposed block-matching algorithm. As a result, an average of 13% improvement in computational power is recorded by only the proposed MV prediction technique. Synthetically, the computational power is reduced by 3977∼77% than that of the conventional BMAs. The average MAD is always low in various sequences. The results are also very close to the MAD of the full search block-matching algorithm.

최근 인구증가 및 도시개발 등으로 인해 지표면이 갖고 있었던 보수 및 유수기능 등이 현격하게 줄어들면서 이에 따른 홍수 유출량이 증대되고 첨두유량이 증가 되고 있다. 이러한 문제는 지표유출량의 변화에 따른 침투량에 영향을 많이 받기 때문에 이를 예측 및 분석하기 위한 다양한 모형들이 사용되고 있으며, 이러한 모형 중 L-THIA 모형은 토지이용도, 토양도, 일강우 자료만으로 직접유출을 모의가 가능하고 높은 정확성을 보이기 때문에 전 세계적으로 널리 사용되고 있다. 하지만 L-THIA 모형은 하나의 토지이용도만을 이용하여 직접유출량을 모의하고 검보정이 이루어지기 때문에 시간적, 공간적으로 변화하는 토지이용의 변화를 고려하지 못한다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 토지이용도의 변화가 L-THIA 모형의 결과에 미치는 영향을 분석하였다. 이를 위하여 L-THIA 모형의 두 가지 검보정 시나리오를 각각 작성하였다. 시나리오1은 기존에 이루어지는 검보정 방법으로 경안천 유역의 일별 강우자료와 1995년 토지이용도만을 이용하여 1997년 1월1일부터 1999년 12월 31일까지 보정을 실시하고, 이에 따른 매개변수를 적용하여 2001년 1월 1일부터 2003년 12월 31일까지 검정을 수행하였다. 시나리오2는 시나리오 1과는 다르게 보정기간(2005~2010년)에는 2000년 토지이용도를 적용하고, 검정기간(2001~2003년)에는 2000년 토지이용도를 적용하여 각각 검보정을 수행하였다. 또한 시나리오 1과 시나리오 2에서 실측자료와 모의결과를 비교 분석한 $R^2$ 및 NSE 수치를 비교한 결과 토지이용도 변화를 보다 실제적으로 반영한 시나리오2에서 더 높은 수치를 나타냈다. 따라서 L-THIA 모형은 토지이용 별 CN 기반 직접유출량을 산정하기 때문에 본 연구결과에서 나타난 바와 같이 시간 변화에 따른 토지이용 변화를 같이 고려해야 보다 더 신뢰성 높은 모형의 결과를 산출할 수 있을 것이라 판단된다.

유역 내 고농도의 탁수문제는 수자원의 효용 가치 하락, 댐 기능의 저하 및 관광 자원으로써의 가치 하락으로 인한 경제적 손실을 발생시킨다. 또한 자원으로서의 토양손실을 야기시켜 토양 재조성을 위한 시간적, 비용적 문제를 발생시킨다. 하천의 탁수저감, 자원으로써의 토양 보전 관리를 위해서는 토양유실 저감 대책을 세우는 것이 필요하며, 이를 위해서는 정확한 토양유실량 및 유사량을 평가하여야 한다. 토양유실량 및 유사량을 평가하기 위해 Sediment Assessment Tool for Effective Erosion Control (SATEEC)이 널리 사용되어 오고 있으며, SATEEC System은 다양한 모듈 보완을 통하여 현재 SATEEC System ver. 2.2까지 개발되었다. SATEEC System ver. 2.2는 시공간변화를 고려한 일단위 R factor산정이 가능하며, 이 R factor산정 모듈은 단일강우를 고려할 수 있는 Williams, Foster, Cooley, CREAMS의 R factor산정 공식을 기반으로 하고 있다. 그리고 SATEEC System ver. 2.2에서는 같은 속성의 셀에 대해서는 함께 연산이 이루어지기 때문에, 유역의 크기나 셀크기에 상관없이 최대 연산시간은 비슷하다. 본 연구에서는 이렇게 개발된 SATEEC System ver. 2.2룰 이용하여 낙동강 수계에 위치한 임하댐유역의 유사량을 평가하였으며, 유사량 평가를 위한 유달률 산정을 위하여 유전자 알고니즘 기반의 SATEEC SDR모듈을 사용하였다. 유사량 평가 결과 보정기간동안 $R^2$ = 0.591, NSE = 0.573, 검정기간 동안 $R^2$ = 0.927, NSE = 0.911로 높은 적용성을 보이는 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구에서 사용된 SATEEC System ver. 2.2는 표토 보전 및 관리를 위한 예비 단계 평가 툴로 활용될 수 있을 것이라 판단된다.

The spatio-temporal variations of the dissolved methane concentration were investigated and the methane budget was estimated in the Nakdong Estuary in January, September, and November of 2014. Dissolved methane showed seasonal variation (21~874 nM) with high concentration in summer due to enhanced temperature and fresh water discharge. Decreasing trends of dissolved methane from the river to the estuary were consistent in all seasons showing the main source of the estuarine methane is river discharge. However, the decreasing trends were modified seasonally due to the local sources such as organic-rich sediments in intertidal zone or near the estuarine barrage. Dissolved methane concentration in the Nakdong Estuary was high, compared to other estuaries probably due to the well developed wetland in Nakdong-river system and stagnation effect from barrages and dams. Dominant sink for the Nakdong estuarine methane was outflux into the atmosphere. Relatively long residence time (produced by barrier island and estuarine dam) in the estuary might provide the enough time for the outgassing.

With the rapid development of wireless communication and mobile equipment, many applications for location-based services have been emerging. Moving objects such as vehicles and ships change their positions over time. Moving objects have their moving path, called the trajectory, because they move continuously. To monitor the trajectory of moving objects in a large scale database system, an efficient Indexing scheme to processed queries related to trajectories is required. In this paper, we focus on the issues of minimizing the dead space of index structures. The Minimum Bounding Boxes (MBBs) of non-leaf nodes in trajectory-preserving indexing schemes have large amounts of dead space since trajectory preservation is achieved at the sacrifice of the spatial locality of trajectories. In this thesis, we propose entry relocating techniques to reduce dead space and overlaps in non-leaf nodes. we present performance studies that compare the proposed index schemes with the TB-tree and the R*-tree under a varying set of spatio-temporal queries.
