We propose an efficient vehicle detection and classification algorithm for an electronic toll collection using the feature which is robust to abrupt intensity change between consecutive frames. The local correlation coefficient between wavelet transformed input and reference images is used as such a feature, which takes advantage of textural similarity. The usefulness of the proposed feature is analyzed qualitatively by comparing the feature with the local variance of a difference image, and is verified by measuring the improvements in the separability of vehicle from shadowy or shadowless road for a real test image. Experimental results from field tests show that the proposed vehicle detection and classification algorithm performs well even under abrupt intensity change due to the characteristics of sensor and occurrence of shadow.

Recently, it is increasing the concern of distributed generations(DGs) that installed small power at a site near by the customer. In deregulation environment, not only distributed generation operation but also state estimation is the key function in distribution systems. This paper process to calculate the impact of distributed generation on a distribution feeder. WLAV state estimation is performed the distribution systems with DGs and bad data test including single, multiple, interacting. Simulations with test cases are performed and the results are presented, using IEEE 34 bus radial distribution systems

본 기술개발은 기존 태양추적기의 구조를 크게 변화시킬 수 있는 무선망 활용 태양추적기 개발에 관한 내용이다. 기존의 태양추적기는 태양광어레이에 스탠드얼론 시스템으로 부착되어 태양추적 및 관련 제어기능을 수행한다. 그러나 본 무선망활용 태양추적기는 PC와 태양광어레이가 지그비 무선망으로 연결되는 구조이다. 무선망을 활용함으로서 기존 태양추적기 대비 제어모듈의 역할이 매우 단순화되어 장치의 강건함, 내구성 및 경제성이 증가되는 효과가 있다. 무선망을 활용함으로서 태양광에레이 측은 무선데이터 송수신 기능과 모터제어 부분만 구현되어도 되며 나머지 기능들은 PC에서 처리해서 무선으로 태양광에레이 모듈에게 전달된다. 또한 고가의 센서 등도 PC에만 구현되고 필요한 데이터는 PC에서 처리하고 계산해서 무선으로 태양광어레이에게 전달하는 구조이다. 그리고 태양추적을 위한 정밀한 자동제어 알고리즘도 PC에서는 충분히 구현할 수 있으며 이를 수행한 후 필요 데이터를 태양광어레이 모듈에게 무선으로 전달한다. 본 기술개발 내용에 대한 시제품이 완성단계에 있으며 필드테스트 수행을 준비하고 있다.

This study porvides an empirical overview of the import patterns of Incheon port using an Engle-Granger cointegration technique and Johansen's multivariate cointegraion methodology test to check the stationarity of the model. The empirical results show that the import in Incheon port related to the economic variables. This paper also applies rolling regression to our model, indicating that import are endogeneous to the economic variable.

Cracks affect the robustness of infrastructures such as buildings, bridge, pavement, and pipelines. This paper presents an automated crack detection system which detect cracks in diverse surfaces. We first constructed the combined crack dataset, consists of multiple crack datasets in diverse domains presented in prior studies. Then, state-of-the-art deep learning models in computer vision tasks including VGG, ResNet, WideResNet, ResNeXt, DenseNet, and EfficientNet, were used to validate the performance of crack detection. We divided the combined dataset into train (80%) and test set (20%) to evaluate the employed models. DenseNet121 showed the highest accuracy at 96.20% with relatively low number of parameters compared to other models. Based on the validation procedures of the advanced deep learning models in crack detection task, we shed light on the cost-effective automated crack detection system which can be applied to different surfaces and structures with low computing resources.

This paper describes novel flip-flops with improved robustness and reduced power consumption. Variable sampling window flip-flop (VSWFF) adjusts the width of the sampling window according to input data, providing robust data latching as well as shorter hold time. The flip-flop also reduces power consumption for higher input switching activities as compared to the conventional low-power flip-flop. Clock swing-reduced variable sampling window flip-flop (CSR-VSWFF) reduces clock power consumption by allowing the use of a small swing clock. Unlike conventional reduced clock swing flip-flops, it requires no additional voltage higher than the supply voltage, eliminating design overhead related to the generation and distribution of this voltage. Simulation results indicate that the proposed flip-flops provide uniform latency for narrower sampling window and improved power-delay product as compared to conventional flip-flops. To evaluate the performance of the proposed flip-flops, test structures were designed and implemented in a $0.3\mu m$ CMOS process technology. Experimental result indicates that VSWFF yields power reduction for the maximum input switching activity, and a synchronous counter designed with CSR-VSWFF improves performance in terms of power consumption with no use of extra voltage higher than the supply voltage.

This paper presents the system modeling, analysis, and controller design and implementation with a inverted pendulum system in order to test robust algorithm for sweeping machine. The balancing of an inverted pendulum by moving pendulum robot like as 'segway' along a horizontal track is a classic problem in the area of control. This paper will describe two methods to swing a pendulum attached to a cart from an initial downwards position to an upright position and maintain that state. The results of real experiment show that the proposed control system has superior performance for following a reference command at certain initial conditions.

Political connection are widespread in many countries and are a hot topic in economic research right now. In China, companies are actively forming political connections in several ways. Based on the research model and theoretical analysis, this thesis puts forward the research hypothesis and constructs the research model of political connections and corporate performance using the financial data and corporate governance data of China A-share listed real estate companies in 2010-2014. The thesis mainly analyzes the political association of CEO. For the analysis result, this research uses the univariate regression analysis and multivariate analysis to carry out the robustness test. The empirical study analysis includes three parts: firstly, in Chinese listed real estate enterprises, CEO political connection has a significantly negative correlation with corporate performance. It means real estate enterprises whose CEO has political connections gain a lower performance than other enterprises; Secondly, from the personal characteristics of the CEO, age, sex and education level have positive relationship with the performance of the enterprise, the additional post situation negatively related to the firm's performance; Finally, the firm's scale liquidity ratio and capital asset rario have a negative relationship with corporate performance, and the number of top managers is positively related to corporate performance. This research made a study on the political connection in Chinese real estate industry, which could also provide beneficial references for the development of enterprises in this industry.

As the need for low-cost, high-efficiency cubesats develops in the new space age, commercial paradigms are shifting in the private sector. This paper examines the challenges of launching and operating both domestic and foreign cubesats, and proposes practical solutions to ensure the robustness and reliability of the satellites from a practical perspective. In particular, the paper deals with checkpoints that are easy to miss, focusing on key events that can occur from the satellite deployment process through normal mode to mission mode in the operation scenario. Although the contents presented in this paper may not be technically applicable to all cubesat systems due to the different nature of each satellite bus system, they will be of some help during satellite assembly, integration and testing.
