Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) is a very useful tool for magnet study because it provides information on local spin environment. The valence of magnetic ions, spin canting angle, orbital state can be measured by NMR and the information on the position of the ions and the change of domains and domain walls can be obtained. The principle of operation is discussed with corresponding application examples.

The feed drive inclination significantly influences product quality, machine tool accuracy and life time. However, the accurate measurement of the inclination needs the skilled engineers and the accurate leveling instruments such as spirits or electric levels. In this study a novel methodology for the estimation of inclination angle of machine tool feed drive is proposed. The proposed methodology utilizes the motor current signals and a new mathematical model of machine tool feed drive considering inclination. The experiment results showed that the proposed method successfully estimates the inclination angle, as well as newly proposed model also enhances the accuracy of the machine tool feed drive model by introducing the inclination effects.

Research on indoor location tracking technology using smart phone is actively being carried out. Especially, in order to display the movement path of the smartphone on the map, the azimuth angle should be estimated by using the geomagnetic sensor built in most smart phones. Due to the distortion of the magnetic field due to the surrounding steel structure and the inclination of the smartphone, the estimation error of azimuthal angle may be occurred. In this paper, we propose a correction method of the geomagnetic sensor at the stationary state and a correction method for the inclination of the smartphone. We also propose a method to correct the azimuth error due to the difference between the magnetic north and the grid north.

The fluxless wetting properties of TSM-coated glass substrate were evaluated by the wetting balance method. We could estimate the wettability of the TSM with new parameters obtained from the wetting balance test for one side-coated specimen. It was more effective in wetting to use Cu as a wetting layer and Au as a protection layer than to use Au itself as a wetting layer. The SnSb solder showed better wettability than SnAg, SnBi, and SnIn solders. The contact angle of the one side-coated glass substrate to the Pb-free solders could be calculated from the farce balance equation by measuring the static force and the tilt angle.

본 논문에서는 한글과 영문 문서 영상들에 대한 기울어짐 추정(skew estimation) 알고리즘을 제안한다. 제안 방법은 전체 문서 영상에서 텍스트 요소들이 밀집되어 있는 영역을 선별하고, 선별된 영역에 대해 허프 변환을 적용하는 선택적 주의집중(selective attention) 방식을 채택한다. 제안 방법의 기울기 추정 과정은 2단계로 구성되는데, coarse 단계에서는 전체 영상을 몇 개의 영역으로 나누고 동일한 영역에 속하는 데이타들간의 연결 각도를 계산하여 각 영역별 accumulator에 저장한다. accumulator에 저장된 빈도치를 기준으로 $\pm$45$^{\circ}$범위 내에서 최대 $\pm$1$^{\circ}$의 오차를 가진 각 영역별 기울기를 계산한 후, 이들 중 최대 빈도값을 갖는 영역을 선정하고 그 영역의 기울기 각도를 문서 영상의 대략적인 기울기 각도로 결정한다. Refine 단계에서는 coarse 단계에서 선정된 영역에 허프 변환을 적용하여 정확한 기울기를 계산하는데, coarse 단계에서 추정한 기울기의 $\pm$1$^{\circ}$범위 내에서 0.1$^{\circ}$간격으로 측정한다. 이와 같은 선택적 주의집중 방식을 통해 기울기 추정에 소요되는 시간 비용은 최소화하고, 추정의 정확도는 최대화 할 수 있다.제안 방법의 성능 평가를 위한 실험은 다양한 형태의 영문과 한글 문서 영상 2,016개에 적용되었다. 제안 방법의 평균 수행 시간은 Pentium 200MHz PC에서 0.19초이고 평균 오차는 $\pm$0.08$^{\circ}$이다. 또한 기존의 기울기 추정 방법과 제안 방법의 성능을 비교하여 제안 방법의 우수성을 입증하였다.Abstract In this paper we propose a skew estimation algorithm for English and Korean document images. The proposed method adopts a selective attention strategy, in which we choose a region of interest which contains a cluster of text components and then apply a Hough transform to this region. The skew estimation process consists of two steps. In the coarse step, we divide the entire image into several regions, and compute the skew angle of each region by accumulating the slopes of lines connecting any two components in the region. The skew angle is estimated within the range of $\pm$45 degree with a maximum error of $\pm$1 degree. Next we select a region which has the most frequent slope in the accumulators and determine the skew angle of the image roughly as the angle corresponding to the most frequent slope. In the refine step, a Hough transform is applied for the selected region within the range of $\pm$1 degree along the angle computed from the coarse step, with an angular resolution of 0.1 degree. Based on this selective attention strategy, we can minimize the time cost and maximize the accuracy of the skew estimation.We have measured the performance of the proposed method by an experiment with 2,016 images of various English and Korean documents. The average run time is 0.19 second on a Pentium 200MHz PC, and the average error is $\pm$0.08 degree. We also have proven the superiority of our algorithm by comparing the performance with that of other well-known methods in the literature.

Recently, the research on renewable energy against depletion of fossil fuel have been actively carried out in the world. Especially, offshore wind turbines are very economical and innovative technology. However, offshore wind turbines experience large base moments due to the wind and wave loading, so the monopile with large diameter needs to be applied. For the economical design of the large diameter pile, it is important to consider the flexibility of the foundation to estimate the maximum moment accurately, based on studies conducted so far. In this paper, the foundation was modeled using the finite element method in order to better describe the large diameter effect of a monopile and the results were compared with those of p-y method. For the examples studied in this paper, the change in maximum moment was insignificant, but the maximum tilt angle from the finite element method was over 14% larger than that of p-y method. Therefore, the finite element approach is recommended to model the flexibility effect of the pile when large tilt angles may cause serviceability issues.

This study proposes a method to correct inclination of instrument during exploration with a biaxial clinometer and GNSS compass. In 3-component magnetometry, measured vectors are ordinarily described in randomly inclined observation coordinate system due to movement, vibration, and shaking of instrument. Therefore, rotation angles of observation plane are needed to transform it into geodetic coordinate system. In this study, we measured inclination angles of observation plane by using 2-axis clinometer and GNSS compass, and derived proper parameters for rotational transform from them. We applied the conversion method to on-board 3-component magnetometry, and then transformed raw data into proper values on geodetic coordinate system.

본 논문에서는 OCR(Optical Character Recognition)의 정확도를 위해 인쇄체 한글 문서 영상에 대한 자동 평가방법을 제안한다. 자동 평가방법은 문서가 스캔된 상태에 따라 낮은 해상도, 영상 자체의 기울어짐, 많은 잡음 등을 판단하여 인식하지 않고도 인식률을 추측할 수 있다. 평가방법은 영상 자체의 밝기, 기울기, 영역의 특징, 문자의 상태 등을 특징 항목으로 만들어 점수를 산출한다. 각 항목의 점수는 가장 높은 인식률을 가지는 영상의 특징 값을 기준으로 삼는다. 각각의 특징에 대해 점수가 산출되면 인식률에 높은 비중을 차지하는 특징에 높은 가중치를 적용하여 최종 점수를 산출한다. 영상 평가방법을 통해 높은 점수를 얻은 영상은 상용 인식기를 통해 인식한 결과 높은 인식률을 나타냈고, 평가방법에서 낮은 점수를 받은 영상은 상대적으로 낮은 인식률을 나타냈다. 본 논문에서 제안하는 문서영상을 위한 자동 평가방법은 인식기를 사용하지 않고 영상의 품질을 측정하기 때문에 빠른 시간에 인식률을 추측할 수 있고, 낮은 인식률을 보일 수 있는 영상에 대해서는 항목별 점수를 피드백으로 사용할 수 있어 인식하기전 문서 영상의 전처리에 과정에 도움을 줄 수 있다.

Aerodynamic data measured in a wind tunnel has inevitable errors due to the presence of the wind tunnel walls. These unwanted interference effects must be corrected for the wall interference free aerodynamic data. Streamline curvature effects are caused by straightening of streamlines due to wind tunnel walls. Classical Glauert's correction method that is a standard method for fixed wing aircraft is not suitable for rotary wing aircraft. In this paper, Heyson's correction method of which wake model is compatible with rotors is used to correct the rotor shaft angle as well as the dynamic pressure. The results of Heyson's method are compared with Glauert's correction method.

In this paper, I propose an algorithm to generate an input digit image for a digit recognition system by detecting a digit string in an image and segmenting the digits constituting the digit string. The proposed algorithm detects blobbed digit string through blob detection, designates a digit string area and corrects digit string skew using the detected blob information. And the proposed algorithm corrects the digit skew and determines the boundary points for the digit segmentation in the corrected digit sequence using three CPgraphs newly defined in this paper. In digit segmentation experiments using the image group including digit strings printed with a range of the font sizes and the image group including handwritten digit strings, the proposed algorithm successfully segments 100% and 90% of the digits in each image group.
