After the spatial discrepancy between SLI(Street-Level Imagery) and vector map is removed by their conflation, the corresponding building regions can be found based on SLI parameters. The building region correspondence, however, is not perfect even after the conflation. This paper aims to improve the correspondence of building regions by region splitting of an SLI. Regions are initialized by the seed lines, projection of building objects onto SLI scene. First, sky images are generated by filtering, segmentation, and sky region detection. Candidates for split lines are detected by edge detector, and then images are splitted into building regions by optimal split lines based on color difference and sky existence. The experiments demonstrated that the proposed region splitting method had improved the accuracy of building region correspondence from 83.3% to 89.7%. The result can be utilized effectively for enhancement of SLI services.

3D building modeling from airborne Lidar without model regularization may cause positional errors or topological inconsistency in building models. Regularization of 3D building models, on the other hand, restricts the types of models which can be reconstructed. To resolve these issues, this paper modelled 3D buildings from airborne Lidar by building model regularization which considers more various types of buildings. Building points are first segmented into roof planes by clustering in feature space and segmentation in object space. Then, 3D building models are reconstructed by consecutive adjustment of planes, lines, and points to satisfy parallelism, symmetry, and consistency between model components. The experimental results demonstrated that the method could make more various types of 3d building models with regularity. The effects of regularization on the positional accuracies of models were also analyzed quantitatively.

The extraction of traffic information based on image processing is under broad research recently because the method based on image processing takes less cost and effort than the traditional method based on physical equipment. The main purpose of the algorithm based on image processing is to extract vehicles from an image correctly. Before the extraction, the algorithm needs the pre-processing such as background subtraction and binary image thresholding. During the pre-processing much noise is brought about because roadside tree and passengers in the sidewalk as well as vehicles are extracted as traffic flow. The noise undermines the overall accuracy of the algorithm. In this research, most of the noise could be removed by extracting the exact road area which does not include sidewalk or roadside tree. To extract the exact road area, traffic lanes in the image were used. Algorithm speed also increased. In addition, with the ratio between the sequential images, the problem caused by vehicles' shadow was minimized.

Recently, the target of navigation system is moving from the cars to pedestrians. Many researches are in progress regarding pedestrian navigation, However, in most cases, the path-finding is based on the existing node/link network model. which is widely used for the car navigation, and thus showing its limitation. The reasons arc that a) unlike with a car, the paths that pedestrians take arc not limited to the roads, b) pedestrians an~ not restricted in rotation or direction, and c) they can freely move within the walkable space. No alternatives have been offered yet, especially for openspaces such as a park or square. Therefore, in this research, we suggested appropriate methods to create paths that can be used in pedestrian navigation service, by using motion-planning technology, which is used in the field of robotics for planning the motion of an object, and conducted tests for their applicability.

Georeferenced SLI(Street-Level Imagery) services such as Google Streetview, which contain abundant information about the real world, can increase its applicability substantially through conflation with other spatial datasets. For this purpose, we propose a method to improve a correspondence of building region to combine building information more accurately. First, the spatial inconsistency between SLI and vector map is removed by alignment based on road intersections. Then, visible building regions are searched from the spatial inconsistency-removed vector map, and the optimal corresponding building areas are determined in the SLI scene using the visible regions as seed information. The experimental results demonstrated that our method had improved the accuracy of building region correspondence by about 8%. Therefore, our method can be utilized effectively for enhancement of conflation service based on the SLI.

In recent years, with increasing utilization of mobile devices such as smartphones, the need for PNS(Pedestrian Navigation Systems) that provide guidance for moving pedestrians is increasing. For the navigation services, road network is the most important component when it comes to creating route and guidance information. In particular, pedestrian network requires modeling methods for more detailed and vast space compared to road network. Therefore, more efficient method is needed to establish pedestrian network that was constructed by existing field survey and manual editing process. This research proposed a pedestrian network creation method appropriate for pedestrians, based on CNS(Car Navigation Systems) data that already has been broadly constructed. Pedestrian network was classified into pedestrian link(sidewalk, side street, walking facility) and openspace link depending on characteristics of walking space, and constructed by applying different methodologies in order to create path that similar to the movements of actual pedestrians. The proposed algorithm is expected to become an alternative for reducing the time and cost of pedestrian network creation.

In this paper, we analyzed microwave-DC conversion efficiency for the dual-polarization rectenna and antenna position changing. And then we analyzed and applied Square-Loop FSS structure for reducing the diode harmonic components as a rectifying circuit. The results of microwave-DC conversion efficiency for the each of designed dual-polarization rectenna has 69.1% with $360\Omega$ (dipole type) and 75.4% with $340\Omega$ (patch type) optimum load resistor. When the each of dual-polarization rectenna has a optimal load resistor, it's conversion efficiency shows of $\pm$20% in dipole type and $\pm$5% in patch type at $0~180^{\circ}$position. When applied Square-Loop FSS structure for Rectenna, Insertion loss was under 1 dB as the passband and over 20 dB as the stopband. The microwave -DC conversion efficiency was represented good properties of $\pm$2% variation.

Demand for car navigation systems has been an explosive increase because of prevalence of owner-drivers, spare time spread, and so on. In addition, car navigation systems are achieving a rapid growth to be the important part of telematics industry with services such as real-time traffic information and DMB(Digital Multimedia Broadcasting). The network data, one of the composition components in car navigation systems, is most important component because that is abstract of real world road network and base data in pathfinding. However most of the car navigation systems have been stand-alone system. Thus user's network data becomes outdated according to the time passing and does not reflect the change of road information in real world. To overcome this problem, users have to update network data in car navigation systems periodically. This method is quite cumbersome process. For this reason, this study proposed a new update method to serve the difference network data on user's device and the real world in real time, and simulated to verify.

Clustering is one of widely used methods for grouping thousands of genes by their similarities of expression levels, so that it helps to analyze gene expression profiles. This method has been used for identifying the functions of genes. Fuzzy clustering method, which is one category of clustering, assigns one sample to multiple groups according to their degrees of membership. This method is more appropriate for analyzing gene expression profiles because single gene might involve multiple genetic functions. Clustering methods, however, have the problems that they are sensitive to initialization and can be trapped into local optima. To solve these problems, this paper proposes an evolutionary fuzzy clustering method, where adaptive a-cut based evaluation is used for the fitness evaluation to apply different criteria considering the characteristics of datasets to overcome the limitation of Bayesian validation method that applies the same criterion to all datasets. We have conducted experiments with SRBCT and yeast cell-cycle datasets and analyzed the results to confirm the usefulness of the proposed method.

The Road Name Address system has begun to be applied and widely used since 2011. However, the Digital Map, or the national representative basic map, has no reference to the Road Name Address system. It causes some difficulties to use the Digital Map under the Road Name Address system. In this paper, we suggest a method for generating the expanded Digital Map by adding information about Road Name Address system into the objects of the Digital Map. First, object matching pairs between the road section layer from the Road Name Address Map and the road centerline layer from the Digital Map are found. Then attributes to be copied from the Road Name Address map to the Digital Map are extracted by comparing their attribute tables. Finally the extracted attributes are copied from the Road Name Address Map to the Digital Map. The expanded road centerline layer of the Digital Map then has attributes about road name according to the Road Name Address system, so that the georeferencing of the Digital Map according to the Road Name Address system becomes possible.
