In this paper, characteristics of the electromagnetically coupled broadband microstrip antennas are analyzed by the Finite Difference Time Domain (FDTD) method, and antenna para- meters are optimized to get maximum bnadwidth. By using short radial tuning stub in microstrip feedline, electromagnetically coupled microstrip antenna shows broadband ($\simeq$13%) characteristics, and the characteristics are varied as a function of radius, radial angle, and position of the radial tuning stub. Operating frequency, return loss, VSWR and input impedance are calculated by Fourier transforming the time domain results. After optimization of the parameters, maximum bandwidth of the radial stub tuning microstrip antenna is about 15% and the ripple char- acteristic of the VSWR is better than the rectangular tuning stub microstrip antenna.

$C_2F_6$/$CHF_6$ 플라즈마를 이용한 실리콘 산화막의 반응성이온 식각공정시 실리콘 표면에 형성되는 고분자 잔류막과 근표면 손상영역을 X-선 광전자분광법(x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy)과 러더포드 후방산란법(Rutherford backscattering)을 이용하여 연구하였다. 표면 잔류막은 CF, $CF_2$, $CF_3$, $C-CF_x$, 그리고 C-C/C-H 등의 결합을 가진 불화탄소 고분자로 구성되어 있으며, 또한 C 1s와 Si 2p X-선 광선자 스펙트럼으로부터 C-Si 결합이 존재함을 확인하였다. 반응성이온 식각을 거친 실리콘 표면 구조의 연구결과, 불소와 탄소로 구성된 고분자막($<20 \AA$)이 극표면에 존재하며, 식각 후 공기중에 노출됨에 따라 고분자 잔류층으로 산소가 통과하여 기판을 산화시킴으로써 실리콘 산화막( $~10\AA$)이 그 아래에 형성되었음을 알았다. 그리고 실리콘산화막 아래에 탄소-산소 결합영역이 관찰되었다. 플라즈마 가스의 조성에서 $CHF_3$의 량이 증가함에 따라 고분자 잔류막의 두께가 증가하였으며, 본 연구의 실험조건에서 2분간 overetching한 시편의 경우에도 실리콘 표면 영역의 손상정도가 매우 적음을 발견하였다.

A time-domain modeling approach is used to study characteristics of a widely tunable coupled-ring reflector (CRR) laser diode(LD). The CRR consists of a bus waveguide and two coupled ring resonators coupled to the bus without resorting to distributed Bragg grating structure. The tuning range can be a few tens of nanometers with a side mode suppression ratio exceeding 35dB through the adjustment of currents into the phase control sections in the rings. The CRR laser diode has long effective cavity length compared to conventional laser diodes. Accordingly, a broad additional resonance peak in the amplitude modulation characteristics is observed between 20 to 30 GHz, implying the extension of amplitude modulation bandwidth.

A widely tunable U-shaped SGDBR (Sampled Grating Distributed Bragg Reflector) laser diode is designed and analyzed by means of a time-domain simulation. The U-shaped SGDBR laser diode consists of SGDBR, active, phase, and TIR (Total Internal Reflection) mirror sections, so the coupling losses across the sections should be carefully considered. The tuning range of the designed U-shaped SGDBR laser is about 1525-1570 nm, which is confirmed by the simulation. The simulation results show that the loss in the TIR mirror region should be less than about 2 dB, and the refractive-index difference at the butt coupling between the passive and active regions should be less than 0.1, to provide the complete tuning range.

A dynamically-interfaced multi-grid finite difference model for simulation of tsunamis in the East Sea(Choi et al.) was established and further applied to produce detailed feature of coastal inundations along the whole eastern coast of Korea. The computational domain is composed of several sub-regions with different grid sizes connected in parallel of inclined directions with 16 innermost nested models. The innermost sub-region represents the coastal alignment reasonably well and has a grid size of about 30 meters. Numerical simulations have been performed in the framework of shallow-water equations(linear, as well as nonlinear) over the plane or spherical coordinate system, depending on the dimensions of the sub-region. Results of simulations show the general agreements with the observed data of run-up height for both tsunamis. The evolution of the distribution function of tsunami heights is studied numerically and it is shown that it tends to the log-normal curve for long distance from the source.

다중 센서의 영상, 예를 들어 가시광 영상과 적외선 영상은 서로 다른 특징을 가지고 있기 때문에 본 논문에서는 IR 영상의 특징을 보존한 새로운 혼합기법을 제안하다. 이러한 혼합기법은 의료 영상, 보안 영상 등에서 매우 중요하고 다양하게 다루어진다. 일반적인 혼합기법을 사용하게 되면 영상간의 특색 때문에 혼합 시 조화롭지 못하는 문제점을 가진다. 이러한 문제점을 해결하기 위해서 본 논문에서는 중요도 맵을 추출하고 그 영역에 대하여 포아송 블랜딩을 통해 두 개의 다른 특징을 가시광 영상을 혼합한다. 제안한 알고리즘은 기존의 연구와 다르게 혼합할 영역을 수동으로 지정하는 것이 아니라 자동적으로 추출하고, 가시광 영상에 IR 영상에서만 검출되는 영역을 결합한 새로운 결과를 얻을 수 있었다.

A simple and fast solution is derived to evaluate the effects of time-domain electromagnetic coupling in induced polarization surveys on a uniform earth. The simplified solution gives an explicit statement of the dependence of time-domain electromagnetic coupling on the model parameters, and yields sufficiently accurate results for most situations encountered in practice. The co-linear dipole-dipole and Wenner arrays are used as examples in this paper, but th numerical solution can be applied to any electrode configuration.

In this paper, we present a new camera system combining a high-quality 3-D scanner and hybrid camera system to generate a multiview video-plus-depth. In order to get the 3-D video using the hybrid camera system and 3-D scanner, we first obtain depth information for background region from the 3-D scanner. Then, we get the depth map for foreground area from the hybrid camera system. Initial depths of each view image are estimated by performing 3-D warping with the depth information. Thereafter, multiview depth estimation using the initial depths is carried out to get each view initial disparity map. We correct the initial disparity map using a belief propagation algorithm so that we can generate the high-quality multiview disparity map. Finally, we refine depths of the foreground boundary using extracted edge information. Experimental results show that the proposed depth maps generation method produces a 3-D video with more accurate multiview depths and supports more natural 3-D views than the previous works.

In this paper, we suggest a new method of detecting human skin-color regions from three-dimensional static or dynamic stereoscopic images by effectively integrating depth and color features. The suggested method first extracts depth information that represents the distance between a camera and an object from input left and right stereoscopic images through a stereo matching technique. It then performs labeling for pixels with similar depth features and determines the labeled regions having human skin color as actual skin color regions. Our experimental results show that the suggested skin region extraction method outperforms existing skin detection methods in terms of skin-color region extraction accuracy.

In this paper, we propose a novel method to solve the problem of excessive segmentation out of the method of segmenting regions from an image using Homogeneity Threshold($H_T$). The algorithm of the previous image segmentation based on $H_T$ was carried out region growth by using only the center pixel of selected window. Therefore it was caused resulting in excessive segmented regions. However, before carrying region growth, the proposed method first of all finds out whether the selected window is homogeneity or not. Subsequently, if the selected window is homogeneity it carries out region growth using the total pixels of selected window. But if the selected window is not homogeneity, it carries out region growth using only the center pixel of selected window. So, the method can reduce remarkably the number of excessive segmented regions of image segmentation based on $H_T$. In order to show the validity of the proposed method, we carried out multiple experiments to compare the proposed method with previous method in same environment and conditions. As the results, the proposed method can reduce the number of segmented regions above 40% and doesn't make any difference in the quality of visual image when we compare with previous method. Especially, when we compare the image united with regions of descending order by size of segmented regions in experimentation with the previous method, even though the united image has regions more than 1,000, we can't recognize what the image means. However, in the proposed method, even though image is united by segmented regions less than 10, we can recognize what the image is. For these reason, we expect that the proposed method will be utilized in various fields, such as the extraction of objects, the retrieval of informations from the image, research for anatomy, biology, image visualization, and animation and so on.
