This paper proposes a photogrammetric rectification method based on Bayesian approach as a method that eliminates vertical parallax between stereo images to minimize visual fatigue of 3D contents. The image rectification consists of two phases; geometry estimation and epipolar transformation. For geometry estimation, coplanarity-based relative orientation algorithm was used in this paper. To ensure robustness for mismatch and localization error occurred by automation of tie point extraction, Bayesian approach was applied by introducing several prior constraints. As epipolar transformation perspective transformation was used based on condition of collinearity to minimize distortion of result images and modification for input images. Other algorithms were compared to evaluate performance. For geometry estimation, traditional relative orientation algorithm, 8-points algorithm and stereo calibration algorithm were employed. For epipolar transformation, Hartley algorithm and Bouguet algorithm were employed. The evaluation results showed that the proposed algorithm produced results with high accuracy, robustness about error sources and minimum image modification.

X-ray images are wildly used in medical applications, and these can be more efficiently find scoliosis which is appearing during the growth of human skeleton than others. This research is focused on the calibration of X-ray image and three-dimensional coordinate determination of objects. Three-dimensional coordinate of objects taken by X-ray are determined by two step procedure. Firstly, interior and exterior orientation parameters are determined by camera calibration using Primary Calibration Object (PCO) which has two sides with embedded radiopaque steel ball. Secondly, calibration cage coordinates which is composed of two acrylic sheets that are perpendicular to X-ray source are determined by the parameters. Three-dimensional coordinates of calibration cage determined by photogrammetric technique are compared with that of Coordinate Measuring Machine (CMM). Though the accuracy analysis, X direction which is parallel to X-ray source error values are relatively higher than those of Y and Z directions. But, the accuracies of Y and Z axis are approximately -3 mm to 3 mm. From the research results, it is considered that photogrammetric technique is applied to determine three-dimensional coordinates of patients or assist to make medical devices.

본 논문에서는 시변자계측정을 위한 센서와 형광등의 점등에 의하여 발생되는 자계의 특성에 대하여 기술하였다. 자계측정계는 동축케이블을 사용한 자기적분형 자계센서와 증폭기, 적분기로 구성하였으며 교정실험 결과, 주파수대역은 약 40Hz∼100kHz이었다. 수동점등식, 고주파점등식과 글로우점등식 등 여러 가지 점등방식의 형광등에 의하여 발생되는 자계의 파형을 측정하고, 측정된 자계의 주파수성분을 고속푸리에변환(fast Fourier transformation: FFT)기법으로 해석하였다. 형광등의 점등중에 발생되는 자계성분은 주로 기수고주파 성분이 많이 포함되어 있으며, 인덕션칵에 의하여 점등순간에는 급변성의 과도성분이 나타났다. 전자회로나 제어기기의 보호를 위한 자계차폐장치를 설계할 때에는 반드시 자계의 기수고조파성분을 고려하여야 됨이 확인되었다.

Thermochromic liquid crystal reflect a unique color at even temperature. Therefore, they have been successfully applied to non-intrusive heat transfer research. Hue capturing method is widely used in the quantitative measurement from the TLC image. However it is affected by several measurement conditions. The distances of camera and light source have little influence on the color, but the value of hue is seriously affected by the measurement angle. In this study, the hue capturing method is improved by considering the effect of measurement angle. This improved calibration method can diminish the misreading of temperature caused by curvature of test surface.

A force sensor of 30 MN capacity using build-up technique in which three load cells of 10 MN capacity are arranged in parallel was fabricated. A column spring element was adopted as a shape of a strain gage type load cell. Temperature compensation circuits were used to reduce the error of a load cell. It was estimated that the total error of the fabricated force sensor is less than 0.1 %. The force sensor may be used to calibrate or test material testing machines above 4.5 MN capacity in industries.

This paper describes the build-up force measuring system of 9.9 MN capacity which consists of nine force transducers of each having 1.1 MN capacity. We have specially designed a force transducer for a build-up force measuring system to reduce the uncertainty of a build-up system and to accomodate the new test procedure for a build-up system. It reveals that the relative uncertainty of the force measuring system is less than 1.5*10$^{-4}$ in the ran9e of 1-4.5 MN irrespective of loading direction. The force measuring system may be used to calibrate a 10 MN force standard machine to be used as a large force standard in Korea.

This paper proposes an efficient location technique to find an indoor location under the IEEE 802.11 wireless local area networks. The proposed method is based on the range measurements obtained from a simple radio frequency propagation model. Thus, unlike the radio frequency fingerprint correlation method, it does not suffer from the computational burden during the real-time location service period and can quickly reply the location requests of many users at the same time. To increase the location accuracy in spite of the frequent non-line-of-sight error occurrences, the proposed method calibrates the distortion of the non-line-of-sight error by a simple measurement surveying procedure that does not require the surveyor's manual interaction. Experimental results show the capability of the proposed method.

We introduce a new auto-calibration/simulation method for a strain gage type transducer/signal-conditioner which guarantees the output linearity and compensates the error automatically. We design a micro voltage supply which is able to interface either AC or DC type excitation voltage. A new strain gage simulator is also designed. We make linearity output of the signal conditioner and can compensate error automatically with this new auto calibration/simulation method. The experimental results show that the error between the real value and the expected one is less than 1%.

웨이브렛 변환을 사용한 영상은 인간의 시각체계(HVS)에 적적한 양자화 및 부호화를 위한 계층적 구조를 제공한다. 인간의 시각이 민감하게 감지하는 부분을 더 정확하게 부호화 하고, 그렇지 못한 부분에서는 적절한 정보의 손실을 허용하는 원리를 이상적으로 적용할 수 있다. 이런 웨이브렛 변환영상의 통계적 특성을 이용한 제로트리 부호화 기법은 중요한 영상계수를 선별하여 영상전체에서 의미있는 계수를 순서대로 부호화 함으로써 매입 파일(Embeded File)을 생성한다. 본 연구에서는 제로트리 부호화 과정중 불확실 구간(Uncertainty Interval)에서 발생하는 오차(Error)를 줄이기 위하여 LBG(Line Bute Gray) 알고리즘을 도입하여 최적의 오차 코드북을 생성한 후 복원시 사용함으로써 결과의 향상을 보였다. 오차교정(Error Correction)은 EZW(Embeded Zerotee Wavelet) 부호화 과정에서 손실되기 쉬운 고주파수 밴드에 적용하여 복원시 영상의 자세한(detail) 성분을 살리는데 효과적이다. JPEG과 같은 DCT 기반 영상압축 결과에 비하여 화질에서 더 좋은 성능을 보일뿐아니라, DCT 특유의 블록화 현상도 제거되었다.

일반적으로 응용 프로그램의 메모리 요구를 배치 전에 평가하는 것은 많은 어려움이 따르기 때문에 주기억장치의 부족을 초래한다. 또한 임베디드 시스템의 디스크와 가상 메모리의 결핍은 out-of-memory 에러가 발생할 때 응용이 확장되기 위한 swap 공간이 없어 시스템이 붕괴되고 가상 기억장소로부터의 보호가 없어 세그먼트가 그 바운드를 초과했다는 것조차 발견되지 않으므로 붕괴 전의 교정 동작이 불가능하게 한다. 시스템 붕괴가 치명적인 손실이 될 수 있는 임베디드 시스템에서 Out-of-memory 에러는 비신뢰성을 보이는 중요한 원인이 된다. 본 논문에서는 컴파일러에 의한 런타임 조사 코드를 사용함으로써 out-of-memory 에러들이 발생하기 바로 전에 발견하는 런타임 조사와 out-of-memory 이후 죽은 변수 같은 사용되지 않는 공간과 살아있는 변수의 압축으로 자유롭게 된 공간으로 스택이나 힙 세그먼트를 확장시키는 공간 재활용과 데이터 압축 기법으로 시스템 신뢰성을 개선하는 방법을 연구하였다.
