Point Cloud which is a cluster of numerous points can express 3D object beyond the 2D plane. Each point contains 3D coordinate and color data basically, reflectance or etc. additionally. Point Cloud demand research and development much higher effective compression technology. Video-based Point Cloud Compression (V-PCC) technology in development and standardization based on the established video codec. Despite its high effective compression technology, point cloud service will be limited by terminal spec and network conditions. 2D video had the same problems. To remedy this kind of problem, 2D video is using Scalable High efficiency Video Coding (SHVC), Dynamic Adaptive Streaming over HTTP (DASH) or diverse technology. This paper proposed a density scalability method using SHVC codec in V-PCC.

The PWR Nuclear Fuel assembly consists of more than 250 fuel rods that are supported by leaf springs in the cells of more than 10 Spacer Grids (SG) along the rod length. Since it is not easy to conduct mechanical tests on a full-scale model basis, the small-scaled rod bundle $(5\times5)$ which is called partial fuel assembly is generally used for various performance tests during the development stage. As one of the small-scaled tests, a flow test should be carried out in order to verify the performance of the spacer grid to obtain the Flow-Induced Vibration (FIV) characteristics of the scaled fuel assembly over the specified flow range. A vibration test should be also performed to obtain the modal parameters of the assembly prior to the flow test. In this study, we want to develop the estimation procedure of the damping ratio for the scaled test assembly. For the damping factor of the partial fuel assembly and the grid cage at the first vibration mode, as one of the vibration tests, a so-called pluck testing has been performed in air as a preliminary test prior to in-flow damping measurement test. Logarithmic decrement method is used for calculation of the damping ratio. Estimated damping ratio of the partial fuel assembly is about $0.7\%$ with reasonable error of $2\%$ for the previous results. Nonlinear behavior of the partial fuel assembly might be stem mainly from the rod-grid support configuration.

In order to provide with fundamental data of the wrought Mg alloy for press forging, the effect of annealing temperature on the microstructure, texture development and tensile properties is studied in a commercial AZ31B Mg alloy sheet. Basal texture i.e. $(0001){\pm}5^{\circ}$[21$\bar{3}$0] is developed in a commercial AZ31B Mg sheet, and the texture is not changed considerably by annealing over $400^{\circ}C{\times}30min$, while (10$\bar{3}$0) component with high intensity can be observed due to abnormal grain growth. When the sheet is tensile-deformed with RD, $45^{\circ}$ and TD directions at room temperature, fracture strains are given by 25.8, 21.4 and 11.9% in the order of RD, $45^{\circ}$ and TD directions, respectively. With increasing annealing temperature up to $450^{\circ}C{\times}30min$, little change in mean grain size can be revealed by annealing below $300^{\circ}C{\times}30min$ but an abnormal grain growth, where some grains become significantly coarser than the rest, occurs by annealing above $400^{\circ}C{\times}30min$. The maximum tensile strain of around 25% is obtained by annealing below $300^{\circ}C{\times}30min$, but it is abruptly decreased to 16% by annealing above $400^{\circ}C{\times}30min$ owing to intergranular fracture of abnormal grown grains.

As multimedia technology has rapidly grown recently, many researches to process multimedia data efficiently using general-purpose processors have been studied. In this paper, we proposed multimedia instructions which can process multimedia data effectively, and suggested a processor architecture for those instructions. The processor was described with Verilog-HDL in the behavioral level and simulated with CADENCE$^{TM}$ tool. Proposed multimedia instructions are total 48 instructions which can be classified into 7 groups. Multimedia data have 64-bit format and are processed as parallel subwords of 8-bit 8 bytes, 16-bit 4 half words or 32-bit 2 words. Modeled processor is developed based on the Integer Unit of SPARC V.9. It has five-stage pipeline RISC architecture with Harvard principle.e.

Since the MPEG-4 visual standard enables content-based functionalities, it is necessary to extract video objects from video sequences. Segmentation algorithms can largely be classified into two different categories: automatic segmentation and user-assisted segmentation. In this paper, we propose a new user-assisted image segmentation method based on the active contour. If we define a shape space as a set of all possible variations from the initial curve and we assume that the shape space is linear, it can be decomposed into the column space and the left null space of the shape matrix. In the proposed method, the shape space vector in the column space describes changes from the initial curve to the imaginary feature curve, and a dynamic graph search algorithm describes the detailed shape of the object in the left null space. Since we employ the shape matrix and the SUSAN operator to outline object boundaries, the proposed algorithm can ignore unwanted feature points generated by low-level image processing operations and is, therefore, applicable to images of complex background. We can also compensate for limitations of the shape matrix with a dynamic graph search algorithm.

It is essential for a fuzzy logic controller to have an appropriate set of rules to perform at the desired level. The linguistic structure of the fuzzy logic controller allows a tentative linguistic policy to be used as an initial rule base. At the design stage, if one can reasonably assemble a good collection of rules, it may then be possible to be tuned to improve the controller performance. In this paper, we proposed the shifting method of rule base table to improve the performance of fuzzy controller. The proposed method is based on the principle of that the effect of the output to regulate the system would be greater when the error increases and the effect of output would be less when the error decreases. According to simulation results, it is an effective method to improve the fuzzy control rule base and the performance of fuzzy logic controllers.

In this paper, we present a fast hardware architecture to implement a parallel 2-dimensional discrete wavelet transform(DWT)based on the lifting scheme DWT framework. The conventional 2-D DWT had a long initial and total latencies to get the final 2D transformed coefficients because the DWT used an entire input data set for the transformation and transformed sequentially The proposed architecture increased the parallel performance at computing the row directional transform using new data splitting method. And, we used the hardware resource sharing architecture for improving the total throughput of 2D DWT. Finally, we proposed a scheduling of hardware resource which is optimized to the proposed hardware architecture and splitting method. Due to the use of the proposed architecture, the parallel computing efficiency is increased. This architecture shows the initial and total latencies are improved by 50% and 66%.

Recently, collaborative works are increased more and more over the distributed heterogeneous computing environments. The availability of high-speed wide-area networks has also enabled collaborative multimedia applications such as video conferencing, distributed interactive simulation and collaborative visualization. Distributed high performance computing and collaborative multimedia applications, it is extremely important to efficiently perform group communication over a heterogeneous network. Typical group communication patterns are broadcast and Multicast. Heuristic algorithms such as FEF, ECEF, look-ahead make up the message transmission tree for the broadcast and multicast over the distributed heterogeneous systems. But, there are some shortcomings because these select the optimal solution at each step, it may not be reached to the global optimum In this paper, we propose a new heuristic algerian that constructs tree for efficiently collective communication over the previous heterogeneous communication model which has heterogenity in both node and network. The previous heuristic algorithms my result in a locally optimal solution, so we present more reasonable and available criterion for choosing edge. Through the performance evaluation over the various communication cost, improved heuristic algorithm we proposed have less completion time than previous algorithms have, especially less time complexity than look-ahead approach.

The fusion of fuzzy set theory and neural networks technologies have concentrated on applying neural networks to obtain the optimal rule bases of fuzzy logic system. Unfortunately, this is very hard to achieve due to limited learning capabilities of neural networks. To overcome this difficulty, we propose a new approach in which rough set theory and neuro-fuzzy fusion are combined to obtain the optimal rule base from input/output data. Compared with conventional FNN, the proposed algorithm is considerably more realistic because it reduces overlapped data when construction a rule base. This results are applied to the construction of inference rules for controlling the temperature at specified points in a refrigerator.

In this paper, we propose an efficient algorithm to produce 3-D surface model from a set of range data, based on NURBS (Non-Uniform Rational B-Splines) surface fitting technique. It is assumed that the range data is initially unorganized and scattered 3-D points, while their connectivity is also unknown. The proposed algorithm consists of three steps: initial model approximation, hierarchical representation, and construction of the NURBS patch network. The mitral model is approximated by polyhedral and triangular model using K-means clustering technique Then, the initial model is represented by hierarchically decomposed tree structure. Based on this, $G^1$ continuous NURBS patch network is constructed efficiently. The computational complexity as well as the modeling error is much reduced by means of hierarchical decomposition and precise approximation of the NURBS control mesh Experimental results show that the initial model as well as the NURBS patch network are constructed automatically, while the modeling error is observed to be negligible.
