This paper proposes a robust image-based visual servoing scheme using a nonlinear observer for a monocular eye-in-hand manipulator. The proposed control method is divided into a range estimation phase and a target-tracking phase. In the range estimation phase, the range from the camera to the target is estimated under the non-moving target condition to solve the uncertainty of an interaction matrix. Then, in the target-tracking phase, the feature point uncertainty caused by the unknown motion of the target is estimated and feature point errors converge sufficiently near to zero through compensation for the feature point uncertainty.

This paper analyzes the fatigue-life of welded joints using the notch stress approach. In the notch stress approach, the notch effects are usually approximated by introducing weld-bead parameters for the local detailed weld joints. The actual bead shape is complex and 3-dimensional. It may also greatly influence the fatigue strength. In this study, the welded shape was modeled using a 3D-scanner. The critical distance method was adopted in the evaluation of the fatigue effective notch stress for the weldments. Fatigue life tests were performed to verify the present method of fatigue life estimation for two types of welded plates with longitudinal attachments. The estimated results of the present methods were applied to the results of the experiment. The results of the analysis showed that the scatter of fatigue-life for the experimental data expressed in the nominal stress was significantly reduced by applying the effective fatigue stress of the present study.

Measuring the distances between signals in the signal space is usually determined by obtaining the ideal metric which is not easy to obtain. In this research we have investigated the scheme that measures the distances between the signals constructed with the measured voltage signals connected to electric apparatus using Kalman filter and exponential mapping. The metric is defined on the feature signals obtained via the estimation process of a Kalman filter and the mapping process using the exponential transformation. Diagnosis is on the voltage fluctuations is applied to determining whether the system is in the stable state or not due to the unexpected accidents, such as power overcharge, discharge, outages flow may be the cause of the accident. The decision making scheme evaluated with respect to the effectiveness and the degree of complication with different variances. Two methods, the Hard Limit Threshold Scheme(HLTS) and the Interval Energy Scheme(IES) are proposed and compared. In experiments the IES shows better tolerance to impulse noise than the HLTS.

This paper presents a new two-terminal numerical algorithm for fault location estimation and for faults recognition using the synchronized phaser in time-domain. The proposed algorithm is also based on the synchronized voltage and current phasor measured from the assumed PMUs(Phasor Measurement Units) installed at both ends of the transmission lines. Also the arc voltage wave shape is modeled numerically on the basis of a great number of arc voltage records obtained by transient recorder. From the calculated arc voltage amplitude it can make a decision whether the fault is permanent or transient. In this paper the algorithm is given and estimated using DFT(discrete Fourier Transform) and the LES(Least Error Squares Method). The algorithm uses a very short data window and enables fast fault detection and classification for real-time transmission line protection. To test the validity of the proposed algorithm, the Electro-Magnetic Transient Program(EMTP/ATP) is used.

This paper presents the real-time implemented distance relay algorithm which the fault distance is estimated with only local terminal information. When a single-phase-to-earth fault on a two-parallel transmission line occurs, the reach accuracy of distance relay is considerably affected by the unknown variables which are fault resistance, fault current at the fault point and zero- sequence current of sound line The zero-sequence current of sound line is estimated by using the zero sequence voltage which is measured by relaying location Also. the fault resistance is removed at the Process of numerical formula expansion. Lastly, the fault current through a fault point is expressed as a function of the zero-sequence current of fault line, zero-sequence current of sound line, and line, and fault distance. Therefore, the fault phase voltage can be expressed as the quadratic equation of the fault distance. The solution of this Quadratic equation is obtained by using a coefficient of the modified quadratic equation instead of using the square root solution method. After tile accurate fault distance is estimated. the mote accurate impedance is measured by using such an information.

In this paper, we propose a neuro-fuzzy modeling to improve the performance using the hierarchical clustering and Gaussian Mixture Model(GMM). The hierarchical clustering algorithm has a property of producing unique parameters for the given data because it does not use the object function to perform the clustering. After optimizing the obtained parameters using the GMM, we apply them as initial parameters for Adaptive Network-based Fuzzy Inference System. Here, the number of fuzzy rules becomes to the cluster numbers. From this, we can improve the performance index and reduce the number of rules simultaneously. The proposed method is verified by applying to a neuro-fuzzy modeling for Box-Jenkins s gas furnace data and Sugeno's nonlinear system, which yields better results than previous oiles.

This paper proposes the use of decision tree classification for the measuring pattern recognition from industrial Computed Radiography(CR) images used in nondestructive evaluation(NDE) of steel-tubes. It appears that NDE problems are naturally desired to have machine learning techniques identify patterns and their classification. The attributes of decision tree are taken from NDE test procedure. Geometric features, such as radiative angle, gradient and distance, are estimated from the analysis of input image data. These factors are used to make it easy and accurate to classify an input object to one of the pre-specified classes on decision tree. This algerian is to simplify the characterization of NDE results and to facilitate the determination of features. The experimental results verify the usefulness of proposed algorithm.

우리나라는 국토의 60% 이상이 산지로 구성되어 있다. 현재 국내에서는 홍수유출 해석 시 집중형 모형을 주로 이용하고 있다. 집중형 모형은 대개 유역 최하류 지점의 유출구를 기준으로 홍수유출 해석 모형의 매개변수 추정 및 검증이 이루어지며, 유역의 매개변수를 소유역별로 동일하게 가정하여 입력 자료를 구성한다. 따라서 산지하천 유역의 홍수유출 해석 및 예측 시 경사가 급하고 고도가 높으며 집중시간이 빠른 산지하천의 지형적 요소 및 특징을 적절히 고려하지 못하여 정확한 예측 및 해석을 하는데 어려움이 발생한다. 분포형 모형은 하나의 유출구가 아닌 임의의 지점에서 홍수유출 해석이 가능하며, 강우자료 입력 시 유역 평균강우가 아닌 분포형 강우, 즉 역거리자승법, 크리깅 기법 등을 사용하여 분포형 강우로 변환한 지점강우와 레이더 강우를 사용하여 보다 정확한 홍수유출 해석이 가능하다. 그리고 분포형 모형은 입력하는 모든 매개변수를 지형 자료에서 추출하여 사용하기 때문에 인공적인 해석을 배제할 수 있어 인위적인 오차를 줄일 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 평창강 상류유역을 시험유역으로 선정하여 연구를 수행하였으며, 분포형 모형의 하나인 $Vflo^{TM}$를 사용하여 홍수유출해석을 수행하였다. 지형자료만을 사용하여 특정 지점이 아닌 유역 내 임의 지점의 홍수유출량과 집중시간, 홍수위를 산정할 수 있어 산지하천에서 돌발적으로 발생하는 홍수를 신속하게 예측할 수 있었다. 또한 임의의 지점에서의 설계홍수량을 손쉽게 산정하여 수공구조물 설계 시 이용할 수 있으므로 홍수에 의한 인적 물적 피해를 최소할 할 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

An adaptive ranging technique for Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiple Access(OFDMA) uplink transmission is proposed for timing synchronization of multiple mobile stations located different distances from a base station. By combining the Timing Phase Compensated Frequency Domain Cross-correlation(TPCFDC) and Frequency Domain Differential Cross-correlation(FDDC), the proposed scheme reduces the number of correlators used in ordinary TPCFDC. Repeated initial ranging attempt with the FDDC in the proposed scheme greatly reduces the hardware implementation complexity. Simulation results for ranging success probability and average ranging attempts count show that the proposed algorithm performs similarly with the ordinary TPCFDC even with the 10 times reduced complexity.

Correntropy is a generalized correlation function that contains higher order moments of the probability density function (PDF) than the conventional moment expansions. The criterion maximizing cross-correntropy (MCC) of two different random variables has yielded superior performance particularly in nonlinear, non-Gaussian signal processing comparing to mean squared error criterion. In this paper we propose a new blind equalization algorithm based on cross-correntropy criterion which uses, as two variables, equalizer output PDF and Parzen PDF estimate of a set of randomly generated symbols that complies with the transmitted symbol PDF. The performance of the proposed algorithm based on MCC is compared with the Euclidian distance minimization.
