A role of the binarization is very important in separating the foreground and the background in the field of the computer vision. In this study, an adaptive fuzzy binarization is proposed. An ${\alpha}$-cut control ratio is obtained by the distribution of grey level of pixels in a sliding window, and binarization is performed using the value. To obtain the ${\alpha}$-cut, existing thresholding methods which execution speed is fast are used. The threshold values are set as the center of each membership function and the fuzzy intervals of the functions are specified with the distribution of grey level of the pixel. Then ${\alpha}$-control ratio is calculated using the specified function and binarization is performed according to the membership degree of the pixels. The experimental results show the proposed method can segment the foreground and the background well than existing binarization methods and decrease loss of the foreground.

본 논문에서는 주차 단속의 자동화를 위해 입력된 차량 영상으로부터 번호판 영역의 복합 색상 정보와 명암 벡터를 이용하여 번호판 영역을 추출하는 알고리즘을 제안한다. 일반적으로 명암도 영상에서는 번호판 영역의 숫자나 문자와 배경간의 명암도 변화는 뚜렷하게 나타나고, 다른 영역에 비하여 명암벡터의 밀집도가 높다는 특징을 가지고 있다. 이러한 특징을 이용하여, 번호판 영상의 하측 라인부터 명암 벡터의 부호 변화가 임계치 이상으로 나타나고, 자가용 또는 영업용 번호판 색상이 일정 수준으로 검출되는 구간을 번호판 영역으로 검출하고 이를 기준으로 대략 박스를 설정한다. 정교한 번호판 영역은 수직 소벨 에지 영상의 프로젝션으로 추출한다. 제안한 알고리즘을 평가하기 위하여, 다양한 시간과 장소에서 촬영되고 차량 주변의 복잡한 배경이 충분히 포함된 총 100장의 주차 단속 영상을 사용하였다. 실험 결과, 명암벡터와 색상정보를 함께 사용한 제안한 방법 이 명암벡터만을 사용한 방법에 비해 약 10% 향상된 97%의 번호판 추출률을 보였으며, 차량 종류의 자동 구분도 가능하였다.

Algorithms for estimating breeding values on several categorical data by using latent variables with threshold conception were developed and showed. Thresholds on each categorical trait were estimated by Newton’s method via gradients and Hessian matrix. This algorithm was developed by way of expansion of bivariate analysis provided by Quaas(2001). Breeding values on latent variables of categorical traits and observations on linear traits were estimated by preconditioned conjugate gradient(PCG) method, which was known having a property of fast convergence. Example was shown by simulated data with two linear traits and a categorical trait with four categories(CE=calving ease) and a dichotomous trait(SB=Still Birth) in threshold animal mixed model(TAMM). Breeding value estimates in TAMM were compared to those in linear animal mixed model (LAMM). As results, correlation estimates of breeding values to parameters were 0.91${\sim}$0.92 on CE and 0.87${\sim}$0.89 on SB in TAMM and 0.72~0.84 on CE and 0.59~0.70 on SB in LAMM. As conclusion, PCG method for estimating breeding values on several categorical traits with linear traits were feasible in TAMM.

Over the past few decades, considerable numbers of studies on the durability of concrete have been carried out extensively. A lot of improvements have been achieved especially in both measuring techniques as well as modeling of ionic flows. However, the majority of these researches have been performed on sound uncracked concrete, although most of in-situ concrete structures have more or less micro-cracks. It is only recent approach that the attention has shifted towards the influence of cracks and crack width on the penetration of chloride into concrete. The penetration of chlorides into concrete through the cracks can make a significant harmful effect on reinforcement corrosion. On the other hand, a general acceptable crack width of 0.3 mm has been recognized for keeping the serviceability of concrete structures in accordance with a lot of codes. However, there seems to be rare established description to explain the critical crack width in terms of the durability of concrete. To make a bad situation worse, there is little agreement on critical crack width among a few of literatures for this issue. Critical crack width is still controversial problem. Nevertheless, since the critical crack width is important key for healthy assessment of concrete structures exposed to marine environment, it should be established. The objective of this study is to define a critical crack width. The critical crack width in this study is designed for a threshold crack width, which contributes to the first variation of chloride diffusion coefficient in responsive to the existence of cracks. A simple solution is formulated to realize the quantifiable parameter, chloride diffusion coefficient for only cracked zone excluding sound concrete. From the examination on the trend of chloride diffusion coefficient of only cracked zone for various crack widths, a critical crack width is founded out.

In this study, an experiment was conducted to analyze mortar based rheology for 3D printing method application. The tendency of rheological properties due to the change of W/B, binder type, replacement ratio, and super plasticizer which have a great influence on the flow characteristics of concrete was experimentally analyzed. Experiments were carried out by dividing into paste and mortar. In the paste experiment, rheology was analyzed by setting W/B, binder type, replacement ratio, and super plasticizer dosage as main variables. In the mortar experiment, the rheological properties of W/B and sand ratio were analyzed. As a result, as the W/B was increased, the viscosity decreased and the FA ratio to replace FA increased and the viscosity increased. In order to increase the fluidity, substitution of only 5% of SF reduces the shear stress and the viscosity is reduced by about 83%. Mortar rheological evaluation shows that there is a critical section where a large change occurs in the W/B 30 to 40% section. Also, in the same W/B, it is analyzed that there is a critical section where the shear stress increases more than twice in the sand ratio of 50~60%.

우리나라는 2000년대 이후, 하천 및 수공구조물 계획시 Huff 분포를 지배적으로 사용해 왔다. 그러나 Huff 방법은 호우선정, 평균방법, 지속기간별 동일분포 가정 등 여러 가지 문제를 가지고 있어 극치 호우사상을 적절히 모의하지 못하는 약점이 있다는 의견이 많았다. 본 연구에서는 하천, 수공구조의 계획시 국내에서 주로 사용해 왔던 강우량 시간분포 방법인 Huff 방법이 과연 하수도시설물 계획시 적정한가를 평가하고 중소규모 배수(排水)시설물 설계시 합리적이라고 알려져 있는 ABM 방법의 적용성을 비교, 평가하여 하수도시설물의 계획시 적정한 확률강우량의 시간분포 방법을 제안하고자 한다. 연구대상 지역은 삼척지역이며 기상청 산하 동해관측소 자료를 이용하여 연구를 수행하였다. 삼척지역의 지속기간별 확률강우량을 Huff 방법을 적용하여 시간분포하면 지속기간 2시간, 3시간 호우의 1시간 최대치의 경우 지속기간 1시간 최대치 보다 크게 산정된다. Huff 1분위의 경우 지속기간 1시간 호우는 55.3mm이나 지속기간 2시간, 3시간 호우의 1시간 최대치는 각각 61.8mm, 60.7mm 로 지속기간 1시간 호우보다 더 크게 평가되었다. 이러한 구간별 최다 강우량의 지속기간별 역전현상은 도달시간 1시간이내의 소유역이라 할지라도 지속기간 2, 3시간호우에서 첨두홍수량이 발생할 수 있는 문제점을 내포하고 있다. 지속기간의 개념을 고려하여 빈도별 홍수시 ABM, Huff 방법의 적용성을 검토하였다. ABM 방법의 경우 적용 유역 면적(0.1~2,000ha) 전체에서 지속기간이 길어지면 첨두홍수량 결과가 수렵하는 것으로 검토되었다. 반면, Huff 방법의 경우 유역면적이 커짐에 따라 임계지속기간이 길어진다. 30년 빈도 홍수의 경우 유역면적 0.1~0.5ha 에서는 30분, 1~50ha 에서는 1시간, 80~300ha 에서는 2시간, 500~2,000ha 에서는 3시간이 임계지속기간인 것으로 분석되었다. 소규모 유역에서는 ABM과 Huff 방법의 홍수량 산정결과의 차이가 크지 않았으며 하수도시설물 계획시 적용성이 높은 강우량 시간분포 방법은 유역의 연속성을 고려할 수 있는 ABM 24시간 호우를 이용하는 것이 타당할 것으로 사료된다.

Caption in video plays an important role that delivers video content. Existing caption region extraction methods are difficult to extract caption region from background because they are sensitive to noise. This paper proposes the method to extract caption region in sports video using multiple frame merge and MBR(Minimum Bounding Rectangles). As preprocessing, adaptive threshold can be extracted using contrast stretching and Othu Method. Caption frame interval is extracted by multiple frame merge and caption region is efficiently extracted by median filtering, morphological dilation, region labeling, candidate character region filtering, and MBR extraction.

In this paper, we adopt a missing data theory to speech recognition. It can be used in order to maintain high performance of speech recognizer when the missing data occurs. In general, hidden Markov model (HMM) is used as a stochastic classifier for speech recognition task. Acoustic events are represented by continuous probability density function in continuous density HMM(CDHMM). The missing data theory has an advantage that can be easily applicable to this CDHMM. A marginalization method is used for processing missing data because it has small complexity and is easy to apply to automatic speech recognition (ASR). Also, a spectral subtraction is used for detecting missing data. If the difference between the energy of speech and that of background noise is below given threshold value, we determine that missing has occurred. We propose a new method that examines the reliability of detected missing data using voicing probability. The voicing probability is used to find voiced frames. It is used to process the missing data in voiced region that has more redundant information than consonants. The experimental results showed that our method improves performance than baseline system that uses spectral subtraction method only. In 452 words isolated word recognition experiment, the proposed method using the voicing probability reduced the average word error rate by 12％ in a typical noise situation.
