This paper presents the active maximum power point tracking(MPPT) control of the photovoltaic(PV) module integrated converter(MIC) system considering the shadow influence. Conventional perturbation and observation(PO) and incremental conductance(IC) are the method finding MPP by the continued self-excitation vibration. The MPPT control is unable to be performed by rapid output change affected by the shadow. To solve this problem, the active MPPT in which the step value changes by output change is presented. In case there are the solar radiation, a temperature and shadow influence, the presented algorithm treats and compares the conventional control algorithm and output error. In addition, the validity of the algorithm is proved through the output error response characteristics.

Due to light condition or shadow around camera, acquired image sequence is often degraded by intensity fluctuation. This artifact is called luminance flicker. As the luminance flicker corrupts the performance of motion estimation or object detection, it should be corrected before further processing. In this paper, we analyze the flicker generation model and propose the new algorithm for flicker reduction. The proposed algorithm considers gain and offset parameter separately, and stabilizes the luminance fluctuation based on these parameters. We show the performance of the proposed method by testing on the sequence with artificially added luminance flicker and real sequence with object motion.

This paper proposes the reconfiguration of PV module considering shadow influence of photovoltaic system. The PV system is consisted series-parallel connection of PV module. The voltage and current between PV modules become unbalance when shadow occurs to PV module. If shadow occurs to the series connection PV module, the output current is limited to current of shaded PV module. Also if shadow occurs to the parallel connection PV module, the output voltage is limited to voltage of shaded PV module. These problems are caused power loss. Therefore, the PV module in this paper consist using the fixed module and variable module by shaded conditions. The reconfiguration of PV module can compensates the shadow influence by changing connection of a variable module when shadow is occurred to PV module. A validity of the reconfiguration of PV module proposed in this paper proves through comparing with performance of conventional PV module.

텔레메틱스, 위치정보서비스, 유비쿼터스 등의 발전과 더불어 3차원 GIS의 활용은 급격히 증가할 것으로 기대된다. 특히 도시모델은 이러한 3D GIS의 근간을 이루며, 이에 도시모델의 획득과 지속적인 수정에 대한 수요 증가도 필연적이다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 기존의 도시모델 구축방법과 달리 보다 효율적이고 정밀한 도시모델을 구축하는 방법을 제시하고 실험적으로 검증하고자 하였다. 제시된 방법은 항공사진과 라이다데이터를 이용하여 지표면모델을 생성하고, 지상사진을 이용하여 건물의 정교한 3차원 모델을 생성하는 것을 핵심으로 한다. 서울시립대학교를 실험대상지역으로 선택하여 전체 23개의 건물을 포함하는 27만 $600m^2$면적의 영역에 대한 도시모델을 구축하였다. 생성된 모델에 대한 검사를 통해 건물과 지표면의 기하학적 구조가 정확하게 재현된 것을 알 수 있었다. 그러나 건물의 외벽 texture는 영상 촬영 시 나무 등에 의해 가려지는 문제, 주변 지물들에 의한 그림자 영향 등으로 깔끔하게 처리되지 못한 것을 볼 수 있었다. 결론적으로 3차원 모델 구축에 있어 texture 추출에 대한 알고리즘 개선이 요구되었고, 건물 내부도 모델링함으로써 더욱 다양한 활용방안도 생각해야 할 것이다.

NCTR(Non-Cooperative Target Recognition) and ATR(Automatic Target Recognition) are methodologies to identify military targets using radar, optical, and infrared images. Among them, a strategy to recognize ground targets using synthetic aperature radar(SAR) images is called SAR ATR. In general, SAR ATR consists of three sequential stages: detection, discrimination and classification. In this paper, a modification of the polar mapping classifier(PMC) to identify inverse SAR(ISAR) images has been made in order to apply it to SAR ATR. In addition, a preprocessing scheme can mitigate the effect from the clutter, and information on the shadow is employed to improve the classification accuracy.

The main object of this study was to prove the effectiveness of satellite image data for extraction of the Matsucoccus Thenbergianae Miller ビt Park damaged area. The effectiveness of extraction of damaged area was improved by using the BRCT(Backwards radiance correction transformation) with DEM for normalization of topographic effects. The surface analysis of the extracted damaged area was revealed that the damage was started at south-west slope with the aspect of 7 to 18 degrees, and 50% to 70% of the highest altitude mountains. The direction of damage attached by the Matsucoccus Thunbergianae Miller et Park was able to predict through the analysis of periodical of years' images

Detection performance of the vehicle on the road depends on weather conditions, the shadow by the movement of the sun, or illumination changes, etc. In this paper, a vehicle detection system in conjunction with a robust background estimate algorithm to environment change on the road in daytime is proposed. Gaussian Mixture Model is applied as background estimation algorithm, and also, Adaboost algorithm is applied to detect the vehicle for candidate region. Through the experiments with input videos obtained from a various weather conditions at the same actual road, the proposed algorithm were useful to detect vehicles in the road.

This paper presents the new maximum power point tracking(MPPT) control of the photovoltaic(PV) module integrated converter(MIC) system considering the shadow influence. The output characteristics of the solar cell is a nonlinear and affected by a temperature, the solar radiation and influence of a shadow. Particularly, MIC system is very sensitive to the shadow influence because the capacity is very small. In order to increase an output and efficiency of the solar power generation, the maximum power point(MPP) obeying control are necessary. Conventional perturbation and observation(PO) and Incremental conductance(IC) are the method finding MPP by the continued self-excitation vibration. The MPPT control is unable to be performed by rapid output change affected by the shadow. To solve this problem, the new control algorithm of the multi-level in which the step value changes by output change is presented. In case there are the solar radiation, a temperature and shadow influence, the presented algorithm treats and compares the conventional control algorithm and output error. In addition, the validity of the algorithm is proved. through the output error response characteristics.

It is usual to prioritize the spatial variables that influence housing location by a few specialist's experienced knowledge or intuition. Multiple regression techniques were used to evaluate the spatially prioritized relationships between housing density and seasonal solar intensity parameters for a total of 134 house locations. Solar radiation and duration of sunshine on winter solstice was the most important predictor of house density located in intermontane basin. In contrast to the typical theory, elevation, slope and accessibility to road were not a dominant determining factor upon the dependent variable of house density. A clear verification has been made for the hidden assumptions for the arrangement of typical Korean housing in intermontane basin that its approach is found to be more appropriate in avoiding shadow conditions, rather than exploring the ideal landform location.

Though there are many causes for the maximum output power reduction, the short-term problem is hot-spot effect by sun shading. To prevent this, normally PV maker uses bypass diode. In here, we tried to check the how bypass diodes works by varying sun shading portion on solar. In case of absence of bypass, the sun shading effect increases the series resistance and that promotes the reduction of maximum power and degradation of PV modules. Bypass diode worked normally when 60% of solar cell was shaded and the measured maximum output power was lower than that of theoretical one. The further analysis is needed.
