In this paper, we present a robust hand recognition approach to sudden illumination changes. The proposed approach constructs a background model with respect to hue and hue gradient in HSI color space and extracts a foreground hand region from an input image using the background subtraction method. Eighteen features are defined for a hand pose and multi-class SVM(Support Vector Machine) approach is applied to learn and classify hand poses based on eighteen features. The proposed approach robustly extracts the contour of a hand with variations in illumination by applying the hue gradient into the background subtraction. A hand pose is defined by two Eigen values which are normalized by the size of OBB(Object-Oriented Bounding Box), and sixteen feature values which represent the number of hand contour points included in each subrange of OBB. We compared the RGB-based background subtraction, hue-based background subtraction and the proposed approach with sudden illumination changes and proved the robustness of the proposed approach. In the experiment, we built a hand pose training model from 2,700 sample hand images of six subjects which represent nine numerical numbers from one to nine. Our implementation result shows 92.6% of successful recognition rate for 1,620 hand images with various lighting condition using the training model.

By integrating of intrinsic motivation theory and flow theory, this study sought to investigate the causal linkage among optimal balance of video game player's perceived skill and challenge, flow experience, intrinsic motivation and video game genre usage. A path analysis showed that the different types of video game usage were directly influenced by players' intrinsic motivations, which were also reinforced by players' flow experiences of enjoyment. However, the path model with a multiple group approach provided no strong evidence for gender differences in the relationships between the variables of interest.

현대인의 질병 중 심혈관계 질환의 증가로 인한 건강관리의 중요성이 더해감에 따라 소형 심전계의 필요성이 대두되어지며 운동과 같은 동잡음에 취약한 환경에서도 안정적인 신호를 얻기 위한 연구가 진행되어지고 있다. 본 논문에서는 측정 리드의 거리 최소화에 따른 연구로서 여러 개의 소형 심전도 모듈을 부착하였을 때의 각각의 신호가 임상심전도와 얼마나 유사하게 측정되어질 수 있는지에 대해 연구하였으며 심전도(ECG) 신호의 측정 원리를 위하여 심장 전기쌍극자 모델에 기반하여 전극간 거리를 최소화한 패치형 전극 측정 시스템을 개발하고, 2개 이상의 다중 패치전극 측정 시스템으로부터 측정된 심장전기활동 신호를 합성하여 임상적 심전도와 유사성이 높은 전극신호 유도법을 개발하였다. 또한 이 유도법의 검증을 위하여 임상 심전도 측정장치의 결과와 상관성을 분석하였으며 최대 r 값은 0.859로 얻어졌다.

초기의 Ad-hoc 네트워크의 라우팅 프로토콜들은 Table-driven 알고리즘이 대두되었으나, 많은 문제점으로 이동단말의 이동성을 지원하는 On-demand 방식의 라우팅 프로토콜에 대한 연구가 진행되었다. 최근에는 On-demand 와 Table-driven의 장점을 반영한 AODV(Ad-hoc On-demand Distance Vector)가 널리 이용되고 있다. 그러나 AODV의 장점에도 불구하고 아직까지 AODV 는 노드들의 잦은 이동으로 Ad-hoc 네트워크에 많은 라우팅 패킷을 발생시켜 전체적인 네트워크의 성능 면에서 많은 약점을 보이고 있다. 본 논문에서는 Ad-hoc 네트워크를 구성하는 노드들 사이의 링크에 대한 신뢰성을 위해 노드의 이동경로예측을 기반으로 하는 새로운 경로설정 및 유지기법을 제안한다. 제안하는 기법은 AOMDV를 기반으로 노드의 위치와 이동 정보로 이동되는 방향과 위치를 예측하여 보다 안정적인 경로를 선택할 수 있는 기회를 제공하는 라우팅 기법이다. 또한 AOMDV로 다중경로를 보유하여 데이터의 종류와 특성에 적합한 최적의 경로선택으로 불필요한 경로설정 메시지의 오버헤드를 줄인다.

The Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing(OFDM) is a special case of multicarrier transmission, where a single data stream is divided into many subcarriers and transferred in a parallel way. It reduces the necessary bandwidth using the orthogonality between the subcarriers. Therefore it requires the transmission channel which has stable characteristic. When the delay spread of the channel exceed the guard interval, then the orthogonality of the subcarriers cannot maintain and as a result the system performance degrade. In this paper, the XCP-OFDM(OFDM using cross-handed Circular Polarization) system is newly proposed. This system divides the channel in order to eliminate the overlapping of subcarrier's spectrum by using cross-handed circular polarization. Therefore, the proposed XCP-OFDM system can improve the performance without increasing the guard interval. Both theoretical analysis and simulation results are described.

The Demand Responsive Transit (DRT) system is the flexible public transport service that determines the route and schedule of the service vehicles according to users' requests. With increasing importance of public transport systems in urban areas, the development of stable and fast routing algorithms for DRT has become the goal of many researches over the past decades. In this study, a new heuristic method is proposed to generate fast and efficient routes for multiple vehicles using demand clustering and destination demand priority searching method considering the imbalance of users' origin and destination demands. The proposed algorithm is tested in various demand distribution scenarios including random, concentration and directed cases. The result shows that the proposed method reduce the drop of service ratio due to an increase in demand density and save computation time compared to other algorithms. In addition, compared to other clustering-based algorithms, the walking cost of the passengers is significantly reduced, but the detour time and in-vehicle travel time of the passenger is increased due to the detour burden.

수자원의 효율적인 관리를 위해서는 홍수량 자료뿐만 아니라 저 평수량의 자료도 매우 중요하며, 이는 최근의 가뭄 발생으로 인하여 용수공급 및 하천수질관리 문제에서 저수위 유량자료의 파악이 중요한 관심 대상이기 때문이다. 이를 위해서는 저수위에 대해 유량측정을 실시하여 유량자료를 확보해야 하며, 이와 더불어 연속적인 유량자료를 얻기 위해서는 신뢰성 있는 수위-유량관계곡선식이 필수적이다. 일반적으로 자연하천에서 수위-유량관계는 수위의 상승 및 하강에 따라 유량변화가 일정한 경향성을 가지고 변동을 하기 때문에 단일함수 관계로 설명이 가능하다. 하지만 갑문 조작에 영향을 받는 구간에서는 수위와 유량만의 단일함수 관계가 아닌 갑문의 개 폐에 따라 수위와 유량이 변동하는 특성을 가지고 있어 일반하천에 비해 수위-유량관계를 규명하는 것이 매우 어려운 문제이다. 본 연구는 금강 하구둑의 갑문조작에 의하여 배수영향을 받는 규암 수위관측소에 대하여 수위-하강고-유량관계를 이용한 유량환산방법, 수면경사를 매개변수로 추가한 다중 회귀식 개발, 자동유량측정 장치를 이용한 유속지수법, 기존 수위-유량관계곡선식을 이용한 유량환산, ADCP(Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler)를 이용한 유량측정성과에 대하여 비교 분석을 통하여 갑문조작에 의한 배수영향을 받는 지점의 안정적인 유량자료를 제공하는데 목적이 있다. 이와 같이 각 유량환산 방법에 따라 실측 유량과 환산유량 비교의 결과 수위-하강고 유량관계의 경우 평균 26.60%, 기존 수위-유량관계곡선의 경우 130.29%, 유속지수법의 경우 36.48%, 다중회귀식의 경우 24.65%의 상대오차가 발생하였다.

Genetic Algorithms (GAs) are efficient methods for search and optimization problems. On the other hand, there are some problems associated with the premature convergence to local optima of the multimodal function, which has multi peaks. The problem is related to the lack of genetic diversity of the population to cover the search spaces sufficiently. A sharing and crowding method were introduced. This paper proposed strategies to improve the convergence speed and the convergence to the global optimum for solving the multimodal optimization function. These strategies included the random generated sub-population that were well-distributed and spread widely through search spaces. The results of the simulation verified the effects of the proposed method.

With advances in autonomous vehicles and networked control, there is a growing interest in the consensus control of a multi-agents system to control multi-agents with distributed control beyond the control of a single agent. Since consensus control is a distributed control, it is bound to have delay in a practical system. In addition, it is often difficult to have a very accurate mathematical model for a system. Even though a reinforcement learning (RL) method was developed to deal with these issues, it often experiences slow convergence in the presence of large uncertainties. Thus, we propose a slide RL which combines the sliding mode control with RL to be robust to the uncertainties. The structure of a sliding mode control is introduced to the action in RL while an auxiliary sliding variable is included in the state information. Numerical simulation results show that the slide RL provides comparable performance to the model-based consensus control in the presence of unknown time-varying delay and disturbance while outperforming existing state-of-the-art RL-based consensus algorithms.

In this study, running stability and ride quality analyses, applying the 'ISO 3888 (double lane change)' and 'ISO 2631-1' (mechanical vibration and shock) tests, were performed for the suspension optimization of the Korean personal rapid transit (PRT) vehicle. The suspension optimization results for running stability and ride quality were derived by applying the multiresponse surface method. From the comparisons of the optimization results for different ratios of the objective functions of running stability and ride quality, we derived the best objective function ratio of 3.9-to-6.1 to improve both the running stability and the ride quality. With the optimized results, the suspension stiffness became 30.68 N/mm, between the value of the $S_2$ and $S_3$ models, and the damping coefficient equaled that of the $D_1$ model. When compared with the suspension of the current PRT vehicle, the roll angle, yaw rate, sideslip angle, and ride comfort were improved by 0.37, 0.37, 2.8, and 5, respectively.
