This paper presents an algorithm for identifying and eliminating errors by seagrasses in coastal bathymetry surveying using drone and HD camera. Survey errors due to seagrasses were identified, segmentated and eliminated using a L∗a∗b color space model. Bathymetry survey using a drone and HD camera has many advantages over conventional survey methods such as ship-board acoustic sounder or manual level survey which are time consuming and expensive. However, errors caused by sea bed reflectance due to seagrasses habitat hamper the development of new surveying tool. Seagrasses are the flowering plants which start to grow in November and flourish to maximum density until April in Korea. We developed a new algorithm for identifying seagrasses habitat locations and eliminating errors due to seagrasses to get the accurate depth survey data. We tested our algorithm at Wolpo beach. Bathymetry survey data which were obtained using a drone with HD camera and calibrated to eliminate errors due to seagrasses, were compared with depth survey data obtained using ship-board multi-beam acoustic sounder. The abnormal bathymetry data which are defined as the excess of 1.5 times of a standard deviation of random errors, are composed of 8.6% of the test site of area of 200 m by 300 m. By applying the developed algorithm, 92% of abnnormal bathymetry data were successfully eliminated and 33% of RMS errors were reduced.

In this paper, we develop an iterative maximum likelihood (ML) receiver for generalized spatial modulation systems. In the proposed ML receiver, to mitigate the deleterious effect of channel information errors on symbol detection, the instantaneous covariance matrix of effective noise is estimated, which is then used to obtain improved ML solutions. The estimated covariance matrix is updated through multiple iterations to enhance the estimation accuracy. The simulation results show that the proposed ML receiver outperforms the conventional ML detection scheme, which does not take the effect of channel information errors into account.

3-dimensional Neuronavigator, Viewing Wand(ISG Technologies, Toronto, Cannda) is the surgery aid equipment for real time image (CT or MRI) guided surgery. The assurance of spatial accuracy of this system is important for clinical application. In this study, we have designed the acrylic brain phantom and measured the spatial error with that phantom. The phantom has designed to have capability to simulate image guided surgery. The phantom has 22 vertical rods whose diameters are 5mm and each rods has different length. CT scans were performed by 2.0mm slice and reconstructed for 3-Dimensional analysis. End point of rods can be obtained using reconstructed 3- Dimensional images and they are compared to actual position data. Average deviation was less than 2mm for various situations. Spatial error of Viewing Wand is acceptable in the clinical points of view, while cosmetics of the software needs to be modified to more user friend. Better accuracy can be expected when we apply the mixed fiducial fit registration and surface fit registration method. And even better results can be obtained if registration points distributed even and symetric around the target.

Buffering is one of the popular spatial analytical functions widely used in many proximity analyses. The buffeting inevitably entails a new polygon of specified edge that is simulated by rolling a ball around the buffering object. While buffering, the error on the buffering object propagates to the new buffered object. In this paper the error propagation behavior during the buffering operation is analyzed based on a pilot project for two different data models: polyline and spline curve. Thus, the error on the buffered objects are classified, mathematically defined, and measured. For measurements, the pilot project is designed and performed using a test site that is a lake boundary at Wisconsin, USA.

It is well known that point positioning using a C/A-code receiver is severely biased by errors in pseudorange. This paper shows the procedures of quantitive analysis for several error elements and that some methods to monitor SA(selective availability) of witch process is not opened are proposed. It is possible to verify the effects of SA in the Doppler shift and receiver clock drift variation. Easy methods to reduce SA effects are to fit second order polynomials for the one and a linear function for the other. With periodic autocorrelation functions. SA effects are analyzed and first order Gauss-Markov process parameters are decided.

Machine tool errors have to be characterized and predicted to improve machine tool accuracy. Therefore, it is very important to assess errors in machine tools. Volumetric error analysis has been developed by many researchers. This paper presents a useful technique for analyzing the volumetric errors in machine tools using the ball bar. The volumetric error model is proposed in specific vertical machining center and the program is developed for generating NC code, acquiring the ball bar data, and analyzing the volumetric errors. The developed system assesses the volumetric errors such as positional, straightness, squareness, and back lash. Also this system analyzes the dynamic performance such as servo gain mismatch. The radial data acquired by ball bar on 3D space is used for analyzing these errors. It is convenient to test the volumetric errors on 3D space because all errors are calculated at once. The developed system has been tested using an actual vertical machining center.

The paper proposes the improved error diffusion halftoning system to enhance the edges using the spatial perceptual characteristics of the human visual system. The proposed method computes a spatial variation(SV), which is the difference between a pixel luminance and the average of its $3{\times}3$ neighborhood pixels' luminances weighted according to the spatial positioning. Information of edge enhancement(IEE) Is computed using the SV and the local average luminance. The IEE is added to the quantizer's input pixel and feeds into the halftoning quantizer. The quantizer produces the halftone image having the enhanced edge. The performance of the proposed method is compared with conventional methods by measuring the edge correlation. The halftone images by using the proposed method show better quality due to the enhanced edge. And the detailed edge is preserved in the halftone images by using the proposed method.

KSTAR(Korea Superconducting Tokamak Advanced Research) 핵융합 토카막 실험 장치의 플라즈마 가열을 위한 수소 중성입자빔 수송라인 내에 설치되는 collimator에 가해지는 열속 및 플라즈마에 전달되는 빔의 통과율을 해석하였다. 43cm$\times$12cm 크기의 이온원으로부터 방출되는 이온빔의 공간적 분산은 기본적으로는 Gaussian 분산(수직바향으로 1.2$^{\circ}$, 수평방향으로 0.5$^{\circ}$)의 형태를 가지지만 이온 가속 전장의 공간적 불균일로 인해 Gaussian 분산에서 다소 벗어나는 형태를 띠게 되는데, 이의 영향을 고려할 수 있는 수학적 모델을 정립하였다. 해석에 고려된 요소들은 다음과 같다. 이온원을 수많은 점원의 집합으로 가정하여 각각의 점원으로부터 주어진 공간적 분산을 가지는 이온들이 방출되는 것으로 가정하였으며, 방출된 이온은 중성화 과정을 거쳐 40%의 이온만이 중성입자화되며, 중성화되지 않은 60%의 이온들은 bending magnet에서 ion dump로 유도되어 사라지며, 나머지 중성입자들은 직진 운동을 하게 된다. 빔 진행 도중 빔 중앙에서 크게 벗어나는 일부 중성입자들은 여러 겹으로 존재하는 빔 collimator에 의해 단계적으로 제거되며, 일부 중성입자들은 잔류 수소기체에 의한 재이온화 과정을 거치기도 한다. 여기서는 정립된 수학적 모델을 이용하여 이들 collimator에서 제거되는 양 및 재이온화 손실들을 고려하여 최종적으로 플라즈마에 입사되는 중성입자 빔을 계산하였다. 한편, 빔 수송라인 설치시에 발생할 수 있는 설치 오차를 이온원 설치시의 오차와 빔 collimator 설치상의 오차로 구분하여 이들의 의한 영향도 계산하였다. Gaussian 분산을 가정하였을 경우, 이온원에 가장 근접하여 설치되는 collimator에 가해지는 수직성분의 열속은 9.7kW/cm2로 계산되었다. 이 열속을 제어 가능한 수준으로 낮추기 위해서 collimator는 빔 라인과 거의 나란하게 설치될 것이다. 빔의 통과율은 약 33%로서 하나의 이온원에서 방출된 7.8MW 중 2.5 MW만이 플라즈마에 전달되는 것을 알 수 있었다. Non-Gaussian 분산의 경우, 최대 열속은 9.1kW/cm2로 다소 낮아졌으나, 빔통과율은 28%정도로 더욱 낮아졌다. 설치상의 오차에 의한 영향을 살펴보면, 이온원이 1$^{\circ}$ 정도 기울어지게 설치된다면 collimaor에 가해지는 최대 열속 및 빔통과율은 약 15kW/cm2, 16.6% 정도로 나타나 매우 심각한 결과를 초래함을 알 수 있었다. 이에 비해 collimator 설치상의 오차의 영향은 이보다 훨씬 작아 5mm 오차가 발생했을 경우에도 최대 열속은 12kW/cm2까지 증가했으나, 빔 통과율의 변화는 거의 없었다.

We have recently proposed the new concept of a phase-measuring volumetric interferometer that enables us to accurately measure the xyz-coordinates of the probe without metrology frames. The interferometer is composed of a movable target and a fixed photo-detector array. The target is made of point diffraction sources to emit two spherical wavefronts, whose interference is monitored by an array of photo-detectors. Phase shifting is applied to obtain the precise phase values of the photo-detectors. Then the measured phases are fitted to a geometric model of multilateration so as to determine the xyz-location of the target by minimizing least square errors. The proposed interferometer has been designed and built with a volumetric uncertainty of less than 1.0 $\mu\textrm{m}$ within a cubic working volume of side 120 mm. Here, in this paper, we also present error sources, an evaluated uncertainty, and test results from the prototype system. The self-calibration of two-dimensional precision metrology stages is applied to test the performance of the interferometer.
