Multi-modality image registration is a widely used image processing technique to obtain composite information from two different kinds of image sources. This study proposes an image registration method based on moment information and surface distance, which improves the previous surface-based registration method. The proposed method ensures stable registration results with low registration error without being subject to the initial position and direction of the object. In the preprocessing step, the surface points of the object are extracted, and then moment information is computed based on the surface points. Moment information is matched prior to fine registration based on the surface distance, in order to ensure stable registration results even when the initial positions and directions of the objects are very different. Moreover, surface comer sampling algorithm has been used in extracting representative surface points of the image to overcome the limits of the existed random sampling or systematic sampling methods. The proposed method has been applied to brain MRI(Magnetic Resonance Imaging) and PET(Positron Emission Tomography), and its accuracy and stability were verified through registration error ratio and visual inspection of the 2D/3D registration result images.

The authors argues that the current road updating system based on traditional aerial photograph or multi-spectral satellite image appears to be non-user friendly due to lack of the frequent cartographic representation for the new construction sites. Google Earth are currently being emerged as one of important places to extract road features since the RGB satellite image with high multi-temporal resolution can be accessed freely over large areas. This paper is primarily intended to evaluate optimal threshold of RGB pixel values to extract road features from Google Earth. An empirical study for five experimental sites was conducted to confirm how a RGB picture provided Google Earth can be used to extact the road feature. The results indicate that optimal threshold of RGB pixel values to extract road features was identified as 126, 125, 127 for manual operation which corresponds to 25%, 30%, 19%. Also, it was found that display scale difference of Google Earth was not very influential in tracking required RGB pixel value. As a result the 61cm resolution of Quickbird RGB data has shown the potential to realistically identified the major type of road feature by large scale spatial precision while the typical algorithm revealed successfully the area-wide optimal threshold of RGB pixel for road appeared in the study area.

This paper reports a design of feedforward linear power amplifier using pilot tone for IMT-2000 band repeaters accepting multi-carrier. As this time pilot tone is applied to the circuit differently from the existing method. Only one pilot tone is used in both 1-st loop(IMD abstraction loop) and 2-nd loop(IMD cancellation loop) to cancell IMD signals automatically according to variation of frequency or power level of input signals. As an experiment, in range of 2110 MHz - 2170 MHz at LPA output power of $20 W_{avg}$, IMD characteristics of over 20 dB was improved maintaining below -60 dBc considering respective 20 MHz. Therefore the supposed feedforward linear power amplifier can be used for linear power amplifier in IMT-2000 band repeaters.

In this paper, we propose a sound event detection method using a multi-channel multi-scale neural networks for sound sensing home monitoring for the hearing impaired. In the proposed system, two channels with high signal quality are selected from several wireless microphone sensors in home. The three features (time difference of arrival, pitch range, and outputs obtained by applying multi-scale convolutional neural network to log mel spectrogram) extracted from the sensor signals are applied to a classifier based on a bidirectional gated recurrent neural network to further improve the performance of sound event detection. The detected sound event result is converted into text along with the sensor position of the selected channel and provided to the hearing impaired. The experimental results show that the sound event detection method of the proposed system is superior to the existing method and can effectively deliver sound information to the hearing impaired.

가뭄대응 및 이수분야 활용을 위한 장기 기상예측정보 확보를 위해, 경안천 유역을 대상으로 전구기후지수의 원격상관 패턴을 이용하여 통계적 기반의 다중회귀모형을 구성하고 월 강수량의 예측가능성을 평가하였다. 예측인자로서 미국 NOAA에서 제공하는 기후지수 중 총 37개의 지수에 대해 1948~2018년의 월 자료를 이용하였으며, 예측대상인 경안천 월 강수량은 1966~2018년의 유역평균 강수량 자료를 활용하였다. 각 기후지수별 1~24개월 선행자료와 예측대상년도 월 강수량과의 상관분석을 통해 상관성이 높은 기후자료를 선별하여 다중회귀모형의 독립변수로 적용하였다. 예측대상년도를 기준으로 과거 40년의 자료(월 강수량 및 월 기후지수)를 보정자료와 검정자료로 구분(20년씩 무작위로 추출)하고, 보정기간에 대해 도출된 회귀모형 중 검정기간을 대상으로 예측성이 좋은 100개의 회귀모형을 선별하여 예측대상기간에 대한 예측모형으로 활용하였다. 2006~2018년에 대해 전망기간별(1개월, 3개월, 6개월, 12개월)로 각 월별 100개 회귀모형으로 부터의 예측값(예측치의 범위)이 실제 관측치를 포함하는 경우를 월별로 분석한 결과 10월이 가장 높고(83%), 11월(81%), 1월(79%), 8월(77%), 6월(75%), 12월(71%)의 순으로 높게 나타났으며, 상대적으로 7월(29%)과 3월(44%)의 예측성이 낮은 것으로 나타났다. 통계적 모형의 특성상 전망기간에 따른 예측의 정확도는 비례하지 않았다. 예측치의 편차는 크지 않지만 예측성이 낮게 나타나는 기간(3월, 2월)과 예측성은 높지만 예측범위가 크게 나타나는 기간(8월, 6월)에 대해서는 예측모형의 재검토 및 다양한 규모의 유역에 대한 적용을 통해 예측인자 추가 및 보완 등을 수행할 예정이다.

초분광 영상은 기존의 다중분광 영상보다 많은 밴드를 통해 넓은 범위의 파장 영역에 대한 반사율을 담고 있는 고차원 데이터이다. 이와 같은 고차원 데이터를 기존의 R-Tree, X-Tree와 같은 다차원 색인 방법을 사용하게 되면 차원의 저주(Course of Dimensionality)라는 문제가 발생한다. 본 논문에서는 차원의 저주 문제를 해결하기 위해 피라미드 기법을 사용하여 초분광 영상 라이브러리의 색인을 구축하였다. 파라미드 기법은 D차원의 데이터를 2D차원의 피라미드에 사상하고, B+-트리를 이용하여 1차원적으로 색인하는 방법이다. 실험 결과 스펙트럼 매칭을 위한 영역질의 방법이 후보자 추출 시간, 데이터 접근 빈도 측면에서 순차적 접근 방법보다 좋은 성능을 나타냈다.

This paper presents a new fast motion estimation algorithm for multi-reference frames. We first analyze the experimental results of the successive elimination algorithm, which is a fast version of full search algorithm, being applied to Multi-reference frames. Based on the analysis, a new scheme for alleviating its computational burden is introduced. In the proposed method, the motion vector for the immediately previous reference frame is found by applying the successive elimination algorithm, while the motion vector for other reference frames is estimated by extrapolation of the already obtained motion vector. Adaptively restricting the motion search area to the local area centered on the estimated motion vector, the proposed method provides dramatic computational complexity reduction but slight quality degradation. The proposed method is evaluated by experiments for some image sequences.

In this study, we investigated the contents of total polyphenol (TP), total flavonoid, and absorbance at 475 nm ($OD_{475}$) which may produced in solid-fermented leaf of Smilax china L. by Aspergillus oryzae as a new functional components with reddish brown color, contents of water soluble substance (WSS), electron donating ability (EDA), Hunter $L^*$, $a^*$, $b^*$ values, sensory overall acceptability (OA) and also, the inhibitory activities (XOI and AOI) against partial purified xanthine oxidase (XO) and aldehyde oxidase (AO) from rabbit liver which were well known to relate the gout, and alcoholic liver disease, respectively in order to optimize water extraction using response surface methodology (RSM). All the $R^2$ values of the second-order polymonials ranged from 0.85 to 0.98, except for the EDA (0.69) and the XOI (0.78). However, the activities of the EDA and XOI were relatively high in the lower concentration of the fermented Smilax china L. leaf. The effects on the water extraction were highest in the concentration, among the dependent variables, and showed significant differences at the 1% level in the TP, TF and WSS contents and the $a^*$, $b^*$ and $OD_{475}$ values, but the OA showed significant differences at the 5% level. The optimal values of AOI, which was the most important functionality in the Smilax china L. that was predicted via RSM, were 59.48% at the 2.19% concentration, a $90.02^{\circ}C$ extraction temperature and a 4.03 minute extraction time ($R^2$: 0.93, p<0.007). The ranges of all the dependent variables of the optimal water extraction were 1.6~1.8% for the concentration, $83{\sim}93^{\circ}C$ for the temperature and 3.4~4.4 minutes for the extraction time; and the optimal water extraction conditions were a 1.7% concentration, an $88^{\circ}C$ extraction temperature and a 3.9-min extraction time.

Nitrate concentrations in springs at the southern slope of Jeju Island were predicted using multiple linear regression (MLR) of spatial variables including hydrogeological parameters and land use characteristics. Springs showed wide range of nitrate concentrations from <0.02 to 86 mg/L with a mean of 20 mg/L. Spatial variables were generated for the circular buffer when the optimal buffer radius was assigned as 400 m. Selected regression models were tested using the p values and Durbin-Watson statistics. Explanatory variables were selected using the adjusted $R^2$, Cp (total squared error) and AIC (Akaike's Information Criterion), and significance. In addition, mutual linear relations between variables were also considered. Small portion of springs, usually <10% of total samples, were identified as outliers indicating limitations of MLR using circular buffers. Adjusted $R^2$ of the proposed models was improved from 0.75 to 0.87 when outliers were eliminated. In particular, the areal proportion of natural area had the greatest influence on the nitrate concentrations in springs. Among anthropogenic land uses, the influence of nitrate contamination is diminishing in the following order of orchard, residential area, and dry farmland. It is apparent quality of springs in the study area is likely to be controlled by land uses instead of hydrogeological parameters. Most of all, it is worth highlighting that the contamination susceptibility of springs is highly sensitive to nearby land uses, in particular, orchard.
