저압기기는 사용자의 조작과 밀접한 연관이 있어서 항상 안전성에 중점을 두고 있다. 이에 따라 관련 제품규격에서도 안전에 관련된 시험 요구사항 개발이 최근 들어 늘어나고 있다. 특히 절연과 관련된 시험 요구사항 중 기본 절연거리에 대한 규정은 저압기기의 역사와 같이 해왔으며, 매우 중요한 요구조건이다. 그럼에도 불구하고 최근 저압기기의 소형화와 전자부품화에 따라 절연거리의 측정에 관련된 규칙이 매우 복잡하고 다양화되었다. 이에 본 논문에서는 차단기류 제품규격을 중심으로 하여 절연거리 측정과 관련된 시험규격 및 방법을 고찰해 보고, 실제 진행된 국제비교숙련도 시험의 개요도 간단히 소개하고자 한다. 정리된 규칙들은 연구원들이 대부분의 저압기기의 절연거리 측정에 공통적으로 적용하여 저압기기 개발 시 유용하게 활용할 것으로 기대한다.

To measure the athletic information of exercisers, the applications of smartphone are programmed based on the sensing data from GPS device. These applications provide exercisers for running or walking distance, exercising time, calorie consumption, average speed, and so on. Among them, the exercising distance should measure accurately because it directly affects the other athletic information for exercisers. However, the existing methods for measuring the exercising distance makes errors because they are worked on the simple sphere or ellipse earth models. Actually, the surface of real earth is composed of inclined ground like hills and valleys. In this paper, a new exercising distance measuring algorithm is proposed to compensate the errors of existing method. It considers the altitude of slopes in exercising routes. To evaluate exercising distance measuring algorithms, we implement the athletic life-guide system based on the smartphone platform. In experiments, the proposed method shows that it provides more accurate distance measurement.

In this paper, Distance recognition measurement using distance calculation correction algorithm, was realization through LED dimming control. The calculation values for the RSSI average filtering and the RSSI feedback filtering were calculated and applied to reduce the error of the RSSI value measured from a long distance. It was confirmed that the RSSI values through the average filtering and the RSSI values measured by setting the coefficient value of the feedback filtering to 0.5 were ranged from -61 dBm to - 52.5 dBm, which shows irregular and high values decrease slightly as much as about -2 dBm to -6 dBm as compared to general measurements. A distance calculation correction algorithm to improve the accuracy was applied, which confirmed that as the distance increases, the range of errors decreases. In conclusion, unstable signals were corrected using the RSSI measurement result filtering, and the distance calculation correction algorithm was applied and performed to reduce the range of errors. In addition, RGB colors were implemented by LED to indicate the distance determination and the signal stability.

The visibility range is defined from where one can see. And it can be changed by illuminance, the character size, and eyesight and so on. In this paper the visibility range of 120 students is measured for 4 character sizes and 3 illuminations in a classroom. In order to forecast the visibility range of unmeasured data, using least square approximation theory, functions whose independent variable is illuminance and whose dependent variable is the visibility range is proposed. Because the visibility range is invariant according to illuminance, common logarithmic functions for 4 character sizes are used. The small difference between the postulated functions and the measured data verifies the accuracy of the functions.

Nowadays, wireless infrastructures such as sensor networks are widely used in many different areas. In case of sensor networks, the wirelessly connected sensors can execute different kind of tasks in a diversity of environments, and one of the most important parameter for a successful execution of such tasks is the location information of each node. As to localization problems in WSNs, there are ToA (Timer of Arrival), RSS (Received Signal Strength), AoA (Angle of Arrival), etc. In this paper, we propose a modification of existing ToA and RSS based methods, adding a weighted average scheme to measure more precisely the distance between nodes. The comparison experiments with the traditional ToA method show that the average error value of proposed method is reduced by 0.1 cm in indoor environment ($5m{\times}7m$) and 0.6cm in outdoor environment ($10{\times}10m$).

This paper presents an efficient facial expression recognition method by measuring the histogram distance based on preprocessing. The preprocessing that uses both centroid shift and histogram equalization is applied to improve the recognition performance, The distance measurement is also applied to estimate the similarity between the facial expressions. The centroid shift based on the first moment balance technique is applied not only to obtain the robust recognition with respect to position or size variations but also to reduce the distance measurement load by excluding the background in the recognition. Histogram equalization is used for robustly recognizing the poor contrast of the images due to light intensity. The proposed method has been applied for recognizing 72 facial expression images(4 persons * 18 scenes) of 320*243 pixels. Three distances such as city-block, Euclidean, and ordinal are used as a similarity measure between histograms. The experimental results show that the proposed method has superior recognition performances compared with the method without preprocessing. The ordinal distance shows superior recognition performances over city-block and Euclidean distances, respectively.

In this paper, the effects of separation distance from a thick radar cover on the performance of 24 GHz band radar was studied through experiments. When a polycarbonate radar cover with a thickness of 10 mm was placed in front of the radar, the variations in radar performance according to the change in the separation distance between the radar and the radar cover was compared with the case without the radar cover. As a radar performance indicator, the distance measured from the radar was used, and the distance was measured using the radar when a person moves away from the radar at a constant speed in the hallway of the building and then approaches again. The separation distance between the radar and radar cover was tested at 2 mm, 5 mm, and 20 mm, respectively. When there was no radar cover, the distance could be measured up to 49.64 m and the error was the lowest. When the separation distance was 2 mm, there was a section where distance measurement was not possible starting from 37.61 m, so the performance was the worst. When the separation distance was increased to 5 mm and 20 mm, the distance was measured up to 49.56 m, but the section where the error between the measured distance and the expected distance was large occurred more often than when there was no radar cover.

The conclusions shown by this study are as follows: Firstly, Despite the similarity of the objective distance caused by the geographic distance and cultural similarities. it is found that the psychic distance factor still exists. Secondly, a new affective factor of psychic distance has been noted. As to the shaping method, even though culture and psychic distance involve homeogenic factors, psychic distance is more complex in that it is affected not only by cultural changes but also by other affective factors. Culture is a very significant factor, which can have an effect on forming psychic distance, but it is short of being a measurement variable for measuring psychic distance. Thirdly, psychic distance can have a direct effect on customers' buying response. If it is just a belief shared among the people of a nation, it can't become an important notion.

이 논문에서는 쿼리-바이-싱잉/허밍 (Query-by-singing/humming, QbSH) 시스템에서의 거리 함수를 다양화하면서 그 성능 변화를 살펴본다. QbSH는 디지털 음악의 사용이 보편화되면서 음악 검색의 방법으로 많은 연구가 진행되어 왔으며, 많은 경우, dynamic time warping (DTW) 방법으로 사용해서 정합하고 있다. 그러나, DTW에서 사용하는 거리에 대해서는 특별한 관심을 가지지 않았으며, 일반적으로 절대적 차이값이나 그것의 제곱값을 많이 사용해 왔다. 이 논문에서는 여러 가지 거리에 대해서 성능을 측정하였다. 성능측정은 특정한 시스템에서 이루어진 것이기 때문에 일반성을 가지지 않을 수 있으나, DTW에서 사용하는 거리를 기존의 것과 다른 것으로 변화시켜서 성능을 향상시킬 가능성이 있음을 이 논문에서는 밝힌다. 본 논문에서는 10-12초 길이의 1000번의 쿼리 (Query)에 대해서 28시간 정도의 데이터베이스에서 실험한 결과, 논문에서 제안하는 거리가 기존의 절대적 차이값을 사용한 것보다 제1후보 검출 정확도가 10% 가량 상승함을 확인할 수 있었다.

본 논문은 파노라마 모자익의 접합 질을 판단하기 위해 접합 신뢰도라는 수량적 기준을 제시한다. 또한, 파노라마의 자동 생성과 따른 시각화를 위해 필요한 초점거리 측정에 접합 신뢰도가 유용함을 보인다. 이미지로부터 초점거리를 복원하는 기존 방법은 일반적인 파노라마 모자익에서 나타나는 잘못 접합된 부분을 초점거리 계산에 포함하기 때문에 부정확하다는 단점이 있다. 제안 방법은 높은 접합 신뢰도를 가진 일정 개수의 이미지를 선별할 수 있기 때문에 초점거리를 따르고 정확하게 자동 측정한다. 접합의 신뢰도를 계산하기 위해, 제안 방법은 카메라 회전 움직임 제약조건의 만족 여부를 판단할 수 있는 특징점을 정의하고, 이 특징점의 이상적인 위치와 실제 위치의 차이를 계산한다. 본 논문에서 제시한 제약조건은 카메라의 자유 회전 움직임에서 항상 만족하고, 이는 수학적으로 증명된다. 마지막으로, 실험을 통해 제안 방법이 기존 방법보다 초점거리의 편차가 작다는 것을 보이고, 파노라마 모자익의 접합 질을 높인다는 것을 보인다.
