In this paper we developed a novel system for automatic detection of mass type breast cancer on dense digital mammogram images. The new approaches presented in this paper are as follows: 1) we presented a method that stably decides the mass center and radius without being affected by image signal irregularity. 2) We developed a radial directional filter that is suitable to process mass image signal. 3) And we developed the multiple feature function based on mass shape spiculation, mass center homogeneity, and mass eccentricity, so as to determine mass-type breast cancer. When the proposed system is applied to dense mammographic images, the true 기arm rate is improved by 10% over a conventional system while the false alarm is increased by 1 per image.

Precise image-to-image registration is required to process multi-sensor data together. The purpose of this paper is to develop an algorithm that register between high-resolution optical and SAR images using linear features. As a pre-processing step, initial alignment was fulfilled using manually selected tie points to remove any dislocations caused by scale difference, rotation, and translation of images. Canny edge operator was applied to both images to extract linear features. These features were used to design a cost function that finds matching points based on their similarity. Outliers having larger geometric differences than general matching points were eliminated. The remaining points were used to construct a new transformation model, which was combined the piecewise linear function with the global affine transformation, and applied to increase the accuracy of geometric correction.

Uncertainties are unavoidable in engineering applications. In this paper we propose an alpha reliable multi-variable network design problem under demand uncertainty. In order to decide the optimal capacity enhancement, three performance measures based on 3E(Efficiency, Equity, and Environmental) are considered. The objective is to minimize the total budget required to satisfy alpha reliability constraint of total travel time, equity ratio, and total emission, while considering the route choice behavior of network users. The problem is formulated as the chance-constrained model for application of alpha confidence level and solved as a lexicographic optimization problem to consider the multi-variable. A simulation-based genetic algorithm procedure is developed to solve this complex network design problem(NDP). A simple numerical example ispresented to illustrate the features of the proposed NDP model.

In this paper, we propose an optimal design method for a dual reflector antenna(DRA) using the Genetic algorithm. In order to reduce the computational burden during the optimal design, we exploit the iterative physical optics(IPO) to calculate the surface current distribution at each reflector antenna. To improve the accuracy, we consider the shadow effect by the structure and the coupling effect by the multi-reflection based on the iterative MFIE(Magnetic Field Integral Equation). To reduce the number of design variables and generate a smooth surface, we use the Bezier function with the control points, which become the design variables in this paper. We adopt the HPBW(Half Power Beam Width), the FNBW(First Null Beam Width), and the SLL(Side Lobe Level) as the objective or cost functions. To verify the results, we compare them with the those of the commercial tool.

This paper is concerned with the development of PCS(Platform for Collaborative System), which is a platform for development of remote collaborative experiment systems. Platform does not aim at the development of special-domain applications. This system implies the common development environments which can develop all-domain applications. PCS consists of collaborative experimental objects such as communication, session, user, application, media, message object and management objects that have management functions. Management objects are made up of collaborative experimental objects and operations which manipulate control information and data. It also supports application sharing for making single user interface of experimental applications to multi-user interface. Application sharing also supports instruments control on the remote site. PCS platform supports total environments for remote collaborative experiment and can be used as infrastructure to all kinds of collaboratory systems.

With the advent of the Fourth Industrial Revolution and changes in the educational environment, team-based assignments are increasing in university classes. Effective team formation in team-based class is an important issue that affects students' satisfaction and the effectiveness of education. However, previous studies mostly focused on post analysis on the results of team formation, which makes it difficult to use them in actual classes. In this paper, we present a mathematical model of how to create a balanced team that reflects students' abilities and other characteristics. Characteristic values for assignment may be scores, such as students' proficiency, binary values such as gender, and multi-values, such as grade or department. This problem is a type of equitable partitioning problem, which takes the form of 0-1 integer programming, and the objective function is linear or nonlinear, depending on how balance is achieved. The basic model or the extended model presented can be applied to the situation where teams are balanced in consideration of various factors in actual class.

Single image-based super-resolution has been studied for a long time in computer vision because of various applications. Various deep learning-based super-resolution algorithms are introduced recently to improve the performance by reducing side effects like blurring and staircase effects. Most deep learning-based approaches have focused on how to implement the network architecture, loss function, and training strategy to improve performance. Meanwhile, Several approaches using Attention Module, which emphasizes the extracted features, are introduced to enhance the performance of the network without any additional layer. Attention module emphasizes or scales the feature map for the purpose of the network from various perspectives. In this paper, we propose the various channel attention and spatial attention in single image-based super-resolution and analyze the results and performance according to the architecture of the attention module. Also, we explore that designing multi-attention module to emphasize features efficiently from various perspectives.

The fused LASSO signal approximator (FLSA) can be applied to find change points from the data having piecewise constant mean structure. It is well-known that the FLSA is inconsistent in change points detection. This inconsistency is due to a total-variation denoising penalty of the FLSA. ℓ₁ trend filter, one of the popular tools for finding an underlying trend from data, can be used to identify change points of piecewise linear trends. Since the ℓ₁ trend filter applies the sum of absolute values of slope differences, it can be inconsistent for change points recovery as the FLSA. However, there are few studies on the inconsistency of the ℓ₁ trend filtering. In this paper, we demonstrate the inconsistency of the ℓ₁ trend filtering with a numerical study.

The purpose of this study is to investigate spacio-temporal structures of traffic flows on the subway network in the Metropolitan Seoul, and the relationships between topological structures of traffic flows and land use patterns. In particular we analyze in the topological structures of traffic flows on the subway network in time dimension as well as in spatial dimension. For the purpose, this study utilizes data mining techniques to the one day T-card transaction data of the last four years, which has developed for exploring the characteristics of traffic flows from large scale trip-transaction databases. The topological structures of traffic flows on the subway network has changed considerably during the last four years. The volumes of traffic flows, the travel time and stops per trip have increased until 2006 and decreased again in 2007. The results are visualized by utilizing GIS and analyzed, and thus the spatial patterns of traffic flows are analyzed. The spatial distribution patterns of trip origins and destinations show substantial differences among time zones during a day. We analyze the relationships between traffic flows at subway stops and the geographical variables reflecting land use around them. We obtain 6 log-linear functions from stepwise multiple regression analysis. We test multicollinearity among the variables and autocollelation for the residuals.

Average and effective energies for 239Pu-Be, 241Am-Li and 241Am-F neutron sources have been calculated from a number of published data for the neutron spectra and for the dose equivalent as a function of neutron energies by a numerical method. Also a calculation of the dose equivalent conversion factors, i. e., the first collision dose equivalent and the surface (or multicollision) dose equivalent that equals the product of surface-absorbed dose and a corresponding quality factor, per unit fluence of neutrons from these sources has been carried out in the same way as before. The results are as follows : 1. for average energies 4.07$\pm$0.33, 0.42 and 1.41 MeV； 2. for effective energies based on the concept of the first collision process in the human body 4.45$\pm$0.344, 0.51 and 1.47 MeV; 3. for effective energies based on the concept of the multi-collision process in the human body 4.50$\pm$0.36, 0.50 and 1.45 MeV； 4. for fluence-first collision dose equivalent conversion factors (2.74$\pm$0.07)10$^{-8}$ , 1.58$\times$ 10$^{-8}$ and 2.34$\times$10$^{-8}$ rems/(n/$\textrm{cm}^2$); and 5. for fluence-surface dose equivalent conversion factors (3.55$\pm$0.09)10$^{-8}$ , 2.19$\times$10$^{-8}$ and 2.82$\times$10$^{-8}$ rems/(n/$\textrm{cm}^2$) : respectively.
