Image data produced from ADD water-tunnel test are currently analyzed manually. The accuracy and elapsed time of this process can be determined by observers. In this paper, the algorithm based on MATLAB for improved image data processing and analysis is proposed. This algorithm consists of camera calibration, gray-level transformation, noise filtering and binarization in image preprocessing, vortex trajectory measurement in image analysis. Experimental results show that the proposed algorithm has better accuracy and execution speed than those of the existing methods.

선박의 경사시험에 사용되는 수동식 계측기기는 측정 자체가 사람의 관능에 의존하기 때문에 현장계측자 개인의 경험에 따라 측정 데이타의 신뢰도에 편차가 발생할 개연성이 높다. 그러나 경험치에 의존하지 않고 경사시험의 신뢰성을 담보할 측정방법의 개선이나 개발은 현재까지 없었다. 경사시험 시 정밀한 계측센서를 이용하여 경사각을 계측한다면, 선박의 복원성판정에 정확성을 기할 수 있을 것이다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 전자식 자이로 센서가 내장된 스마트폰(태블릿 PC)을 이용하여 선박의 경사각을 계측하고, 아울러 그에 따른 선박의 경하 상태의 배수량 및 중량중심을 자동으로 계산할 수 있는 앱을 개발하여 선박 복원성판정의 유효성을 검증하였다.

This study compared the accuracy and reliability of definitive casts fabricated from a digital impression and conventional impression technique. A master model with the prepared upper full-arch tooth was used. Samples of ten plaster models and ten polyurethane models were duplicated using a selected standard master model. Six linear measurements were recorded between the landmarks, directly on each of the stone models and the polyurethane models on two occasions by a double examiner. The Wilcoxon signed-rank test, interclass correlation coefficient (ICC), measurement error (MSE), and limit of agreement (LoA) were used for statistical analysis. The ICC ranged from 0.76 to 0.99 when comparing the stone models and polyurethane models. The mean difference between the stone models and polyurethane models ranged from 0.09mm to 0.20mm, suggesting that stone models might be slightly larger than polyurethane models. Based on this study, the accuracy of the polyurethane models in evaluating the performance of an oral scanner and subtractive technology was acceptable. Further studies will be needed on patient subjects under clinical conditions that may involve missing or malpositioned teeth and fixed dental prostheses because this study was limited to use a standard master model and duplicated sample models in a laboratory setting.

The prediction accuracy of prestress plays an important role in the quality of maintenance and the decision on rehabilitation of infrastructure such as prestressed concrete bridges. In this paper, the Bayesian statistical method that uses in-situ measurement data for reducing the uncertainties or updating long-term prediction of prestress is presented. For Bayesian analysis, prior probability distribution is developed to represent the uncertainties of creep and shrinkage of concrete and likelihood function is derived and used with data acquired in site. Posterior probability distribution is then obtained by combining prior distribution and likelihood function. The numerical results of this study indicate that more accurate long-term prediction of prestress forces due to creep and shrink age is possible.

Internal measurement technique has been commonly and classically used to guide down-fractured maxilla by Le Fort I osteotomy into its new position during intraoperative procedure for correlating preoperative model works with surgery. However, It has been challenged now by several authors due to some problems as its inaccuracy in three-dimensional changes at surgery, difficulty to measure during surgery and impossibility of rechecking at the end of surgery etc. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the accuracy of maxillary movement by external measuring technique and to determine its accuracy between the prediction tracing and a new maxillary position. The results indicate that the external measuring technique was predictable in the vertical, horizontal and transverse change of the maxilla as its prediction, however, it has a tendency to shift the maxilla more anterior and inferior in overall direction than prediction. Post-operative canting difference were mimic, however Ehange of the maxillary dental midline was large and had a right-shifting tendency.1 The precise methods to keep maxillary dental midline as same as prediction and the avoidance of uneven force applied to the mandible for autorotation should be necessary during surgery in use of external measurement technique.

최근 수자원 분야에 있어서 IT기술을 활용한 실시간 하천 현황 감시, 각종 수리, 수질 모형을 활용한 중단기 수리, 수질 예측, 모니터링 결과 또는 예측된 결과를 활용한 하천시설물의 통합 운영은 매우 중요한 화두 중의 하나이다. 이러한 일련의 통합감시, 관리 시스템의 구성에 있어서 일련의 시스템의 근간이 되는 초기 자료 수집을 위한 하드웨어의 설치는 가장 선행되는 과정임과 동시에 대다수의 수자원 종사자들이 익숙하지 않은 분야일 것이다. 획득된 초기 자료의 신뢰성, 정확성, 안정성은 특정한 사례를 예로 들지 않더라도 하천 관리에 있어서 매우 중요한 부분이며 계측기기 분야는 기술의 발전이 가장 빠른 분야 중에 하나이다. 또한 대다수의 수문 관측 하드웨어 즉 계측기기 분야를 외국의 기술에 의존하고 있는 국내의 현실에 있어서 관리하고자 하는 하천의 현황 및 설치지점의 특성, 경제성 등을 고려한 적절한 계측기기의 설치는 그 중요성에 비하여 정보 획득의 어려움, 관련 지침 및 표준화 미비, 관심 부족 등의 이유로 다소 간과되어지고 있는 현실이다. 이에 본 고에서는 수문 모니터링을 위한 계측기 기술 동향을 관련기술, 관측방식, 제조사, 적용사례 등을 중심으로 연구하여 수문 모니터링을 위한 관측망 구성에 있어서 최적의 계측기를 선정할 수 있도록 가이드 라인을 제시하고자 한다.

FE 해석은 구조물의 고유진동수 판단 및 거동 예측 등에 사용되며 따라서 실구조물과 동일하게 FE 해석모델을 작성할수록 실제 구조물의 고유진동수 및 거동을 정확하게 예측할 수 있다. 그러나 실 구조물과 동일하게 모델링 하는 것이 어렵기 때문에 FE 해석을 통해 예측한 구조물의 고유진동수와 실제 구조물의 고유진동수는 차이가 발생한다. FE 해석을 통한 고유진동수에 대하여 정확성을 판단할 수 있는 방법은 실제 계측을 통하여 얻은 고유진동수와 비교하는 것이다. 따라서 본 연구는 미진동하의 구조물에 대하여 계측을 실시함으로써 대상건물의 고유진동수를 파악하고, 실제 고유진동수에 대한 FE 해석의 고유진동수 비교를 통하여 FE 해석의 정확도를 판단하였다.

동적응답과 하중을 정확히 산정하기 위해서는 구조물의 동적특성을 정확히 평가하는 것이 중요하기 때문에, 현재 대부분의 경우 FE 모델을 이용한 Modal 해석을 dldydg하여 동특성을 평가하고 있다. 그러나 실제 건물의 계측결과와 동적특성의 해석결과가 많은 차이를 나타내고 있으므로 해석결과의 신뢰성을 향상하기 위해서는 FE 모델에 대한 Calibration이 수행될 필요성이 있다. 이 논문에서는 초고층, 아파트, 대공간 구조물에 대한 계측을 수행하고 이 결과를 바탕으로 동특성을 정확히 예측하기 위한 FE 모델의Calibration 과정을 제시하였다. 이 결과를 바탕으로 동적특성의 정확성이 풍동실험결과의 신뢰성에 미치는 영향을 분석하였다.

Maintenance of the roads and bridges is a major issue for all road administrators around the world, and various initiatives are being implemented in each region for the purpose of controlling the ever increasing road maintenance cost while ensuring the safety of the vehicles driving. Efforts for such initiatives have also been made in Asia and initiatives for managing heavy-weight vehicles have recently gained momentum in Korea and Japan. We have developed a technology for unevenly installing bar-shaped sensors (piezo quartz sensors) to enable dynamic axle load measurement at a highly accurate level, and have estimated our measurement accuracy of axle load/gross weight, etc. on an actual road. The measurement accuracy of the axle load/gross weight varies significantly depending on the number of sensors installed. In our implementation, the target accuracy was set to below ${\pm}5%$ for gross weight measurement so that automatic regulation can be applied. We have achieved our target by installing 8-point measurement system. However, to have this technology widely accepted, it was necessary to reduce the system size so that it can be easily implemented. Therefore, we have estimated the relationship between the measurement accuracy and the system size (number of measurement points), and have come up with the proposal of 3-point measurement as an optimum number of measurement points, and have estimated its performance on an actual road. Additionally, we evaluated the relationship between the measurement accuracy and vehicle velocity.

The aim of this study was to evaluate the accuracy of 3 different automatic landmark identification programs on lateral cephalgrams and the clinical acceptability in pediatric dentistry. Sixty digital cephalometric radiographs of 7 to 12 years old healthy children were randomly selected. Fourteen landmarks were chosen for assessment and the mean of 3 measurements of each landmark by a single examiner was defined as the baseline landmarks. The mean difference between an automatically identified landmark and the baseline landmark was measured for each landmark on each image. The total mean difference of 3 automatic programs compared to the baseline landmarks were 2.53 ± 1.63 mm. Errors among 3 programs were not significantly different for 12 of 14 landmarks except Orbitale and Gonion. The automatic landmark identification programs showed significant higher mean detection errors than the manual method. The programs couldn't be used as the 1st tool to replace human examiners. But considering short consuming time, these results indicate that all 3 programs have sufficient validity to be used in pediatric dental clinic.
