This paper describes the algorithm which extracts moving vehicles from sequential images and tracks those vehicles using Kalman filter. This work is composed of a motion segmentation stage which extracts moving objects from sequential images and gets features of objects, and a motion estimation stage which estimates the position and the motion of moving objects using Kalman filter. In the motion estimation stage, applying to affine motion model we divided the Kalman filter into position filter and velocity filter to employ linear Kalman filter. Multi-target tracking requires a data association component that decides which measurement to use for updating the state of which object. We use pattern recognition method to solve this problem.

In order to detect the user's gaze position on a monitor by computer vision, the accurate estimations of 3D positions and 3D motion of facial features are required. In this paper, we apply a EKF(Extended Kalman Filter) to estimate 3D motion estimates and assumes that its motion is "smooth" in the sense of being represented as constant velocity translational and rotational model. Rotational motion is defined about the orgin of an face-centered coordinate system, while translational motion is defined about that of a camera centered coordinate system. For the experiments, we use the 3D facial motion data generated by computer simulation. Experiment results show that the simulation data andthe estimation results of EKF are similar.e similar.

음성의 발성속도가 빠른 경우에는 발성속도가 느린 경우보다 적은 정보만으로도 부호화가 가능하다 음성의 발성속도가 빠른 경우에는 청취시 낮은 주파수 대역의 정보가 높은 주파수대역의 정보보다 중요하게 된다. 음성 부호화 기술은 전송를과 복잡도를 줄이고 음질을 향상시키는 방향으로 진행되고 있다. 현재 상용화되고 있는 CELP형 보코더는 낮은 전송를에 비해 우수한 음질을 제공하지만, 기존 방식은 음성의 발성속도에 대해서 처리를 달리하지 않고 사용하고 있다. 음성의 발성속도를 측정하여 발성속도가 빠를 경우에, 발성속도가 느린 경우보다 낮은 대역의 정보만 전송한다면 전송율을 감소시킬 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 CELP 부호화기의 전송률 감소를 위해 발성속도를 측정하는 방법을 제안한다. LSP 파라미터가 가지고 있는 정보로 음소의 변화율을 측정하였다. 각각 다른 발성속도를 갖는 음성시료에 대하여 음소 변화율을 구한 결과 발성속도가 다른 경우, 뚜렷하게 다른 음소 변화율을 갖는 것을 알 수 있었고. 빠르게 발성한 경우가 느리게 발성한 경우보다 42.8％가 높게 나왔다.

Comprehensive investigation according to the two kinds of blades is systematically carried out for a design of the centrifugal blower. The motivation of this work is due to demand of enhanced flow rate with higher inlet pressure, such as air purifiers adopting several filters. It is observed that flow rate of the blower with forward blades is larger than that of the system with backward blades. The reason is due to larger outlet velocity from the rotating forward blades and the tendency is validated by a parallel experiment with a wind tunnel. Numerical analysis for the blower system shows detail information between the blades and inside the casing. A series of figures to show the flow details offers deep understanding of a centrifugal blower with the two different blades.

It is very important to understand the vibration and noise characteristics of a structure to developed quiet machines and lessen their noise. In this paper, the vibration and sound radiation characteristics of a simple and a bar-stiffened plate have been investigated using numerical and experimental techniques. In numerical process, FEM analysis has been performed for the vibration level ; the time-space squared and averaged velocity and BEM analysis for sound radiation parameters ; sound power and radiation efficiency. In experimental process, FFT signal processing method has been used. While a power from an exiciter is applied to the structure by using a point contact, sound intensity and vibration level has been measured. Based on these two data, the radiation efficiency has been calculated. Results show that the radiation efficiency for the stiffened structure increases compared to the simple plate, due to the extra edges provided by the stiffener.

This paper presents stable kinematic modeling and path planning and path tracking algorithms for the poisition control of 4-wheeled 2-d.o.f(degree of freedom) mobile robot. We drived the actuated inverse and sensed forward solution for the calculation of actuator velocity and robot velocities. the deal-reckoning algorithm is introduced to calculate the position of WMR in real time. The gaussian functions are applied to control and to design the smooth orientation angle of WMR and the path planning algorithm for obstacle avoidance is prosed. We composed feedback control system to compensate for error because of uncertainty kinematic modeling and measurement noise. The simulation resutls show that the proposed kinematkc modeling and path planning and feedback control algorithms are useful.

This paper represents the mobile robot control system remote controlled by PDA(personal digital assistance). So far, owing to the development of internet technologies, lots of remote control methods through internet have been proposed. To control a mobile robot through internet and guide it under unknown environment, We propose a control method activated by PDA. In a proposed system, PDA acts as a user interface to communicate with notebook as a controller of the mobile robot system using TCP/IP protocol, and the notebook controls the mobile robot system. The information about the direction and velocity of the mobile robot feedbacks to the PDA and the PDA send new control method produced from the fuzzy inference engine.

Flow through a turbine flow meter is simulated by solving the incompressible Navier-Stokes equations. The solution method is based on the pseudo-compressibility approach and uses an implicit-upwind differencing scheme together with the Gauss-Seidel line relaxation method. The equations are solved steadily in rotating reference frames, and the centrifugal force and the Coriolis force are added to the equation of motion. The standard $k-{\epsilon}$model is employed to evaluate turbulent viscosity. Computational results yield quantitative as well as qualitative information on the design of turbine flow meters by showing the distributions of pressure and velocity around the turbine blades.

To investigate host defense mechanisms for protecting the mammary gland from mastitis infection, the membrane fraction of mammary tissues from Holstein cows was purified by differential velocity centrifugation, and then the sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamid gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) separated proteins were identified by ion trap mass spectrometer equipped with a Surveyor high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) system. A total of 183 proteins were identified. Bioinformatics software was applied to analyse physicochemical characteristics of the identified proteins and to predict biochemical function. These data may provide valuable information to investigate the mechanisms of mammary gland milk secretion and infectious disease, and enable a clear identification of proteins and potential protein targets for therapies.

The pH dependence of the kinetic parameters of mutant O-acetylserine sulfhydrylase (OASS) from Salmonella typhimurium LT-2 has been determined in order to obtain information on the chemical mechanism. The initial velocity pattern obtained by varying the concentrations of OAS at several fixed concentrations of TNB, shows an intersection on the left of the ordinate at pH 7.0, indicating that the kinetic mechanism is a sequential mechanism in which substrate inhibition by OAS is observed while the wild type enzyme showed a ping pong mechanism. The values of $V/E_t$, $V/K_{OAS}E_{t}$ and $V/K_{TNB}E_{t}$ decreased by about 68%, 14% and 16% as compared with the wild type enzyme. The $V/K_{OAS}E_{t}$ is a pK of 6.5 on the acid side of the pH profile, and the $V/K_{TNB}$ is pH independent. As compared with the wild type enzyme, the pKs in the V/K profiles are shifted, reflecting that binding of the cofactor in free E:OAS is less asymmetric.
