시선의 추출을 통해 사용자의 관심 방향을 알고자하는 연구는 여러 분야에 응용될 수 있는데, 대표적인 것이 장애인의 컴퓨터 이용이나, 다중 윈도우에서 마우스의 기능 대용 및, VR에서의 위치 추적 장비의 대용 그리고 원격 회의 시스템에서의 view controlling등이다. 기존의 대부분의 연구들에서는 얼굴의 입력된 동영상으로부터 얼굴의 3차원 움직임량(rotation, translation)을 구하는데 중점을 두고 있으나 [1][2], 모니터, 카메라, 얼굴 좌표계간의 복잡한 변환 과정때문에 이를 바탕으로 사용자의 응시 위치를 파악하고자하는 연구는 거으 이루어지지 않고 있다. 본 논문에서는 일반 사무실 환경에서 입력된 얼굴 동영상으로부터 얼굴 영역 및 얼굴내의 눈, 코, 입 영역 등을 추출함으로써 모니터의 일정 영역을 응시하는 순간 변화된 특징점들의 위치 및 특징점들이 형성하는 기하학적 모양의 변화를 바탕으로 응시 위치를 계산하였다. 이때 앞의 세 좌표계간의 복잡한 변환 관계를 해결하기 위하여, 신경망 구조(다층 퍼셉트론)을 이용하였다. 신경망의 학습 과정을 위해서는 모니터 화면을 15영역(가로 5등분, 세로 3등분)으로 분할하여 각 영역의 중심점을 응시할 때 추출된 특징점들을 사용하였다. 이때 학습된 15개의 응시 위치이외에 또 다른 응시 영역에 대한 출력값을 얻기 위해, 출력 함수로 연속적이고 미분가능한 함수(linear output function)를 사용하였다. 실험 결과 신경망을 이용한 응시위치 파악 결과가 선형 보간법[3]을 사용한 결과보다 정확한 성능을 나타냈다.

The added viscoelastic dampers increase damping and stiffness of buildings and results in so called non-classical or non-proportional damping problem. In this system the eigenvectors of the undamped system may not diagonalize the damping matrix, and the system is generally analyzed by converting the equation of motion into a 2n first order state-space form. As this approach is complex and time-consuming compared to the classically damped problem, the system is often analyzed by neglecting the off-diagonal terms in the damping matrix. In this paper the theoretical background of the approximate approach is studied, and the vibration characteristics of a three-story shear building with a viscoelastic damper are investigated using the exact and approximate method. It is found that the approximate method may produce good result when the additional damping is small, but as the damping increases the error also increase.

The nonlinear modal interaction of an autoparametric system under a broadband random excitation is investigated. The specific system examined is an autoparametric vibration absorber with internal resonance, which is typical of many common structural configurations. By means of Gaussian closure scheme the dynamic moment equations explaining the random responses of the system are reduced to a system of autonomous ordinary differential equations of the first and second moments. In view of equilibrium solutions of this system and their stability we examine the system responses. We could not find the destabilizing effect of damping, which was reported in References (18) and (20). The saturation phenomenon, which is well known in deterministic nonlinear system, did not take place lot this system subject to broadband random excitation.

This paper presents a technique to control a very flexible robot moving in a vertical plane. The flexible robot is modeled as an Euler-Bernoulli beam. Elastic deformation is approximated using the assmed modes method. A comparison function which satisfies all geometric and natural boundary conditions of a cantilever beam with an end mass is used as an assumed mode shape. Lagrange's equation is utilized for the development of a discretized model. A control algorithm is developed using a simple PID cnotrol tech- nique. The proportional, integral and deivative control gains are determined based on the dominant pole placement method and tuned to show no overshoot and no steady state error, and short settling time. The effectiveness of the developed control scheme is showed in the hub angular diaplacement control experiment. Three different end masses are uned in the experiment. The experimental results show that developed control algorithm is very effective showing little overshoot, no steady state error, and less than 2.5 second settl- ing time in case of having an end mass which is equivalent to 45% of the manipulator mass. Also the experimental results show that the residual vibration fo the end point is effectively controlled.

Probabilistic Risk Assessment considering statistically random variables is performed for the preliminary design of an Arch Bridge. Component reliabilities of girders have been evaluated using the response surfaces of the design variables at the selected critical sections based on the maximum shear and negative moment locations. Response Surface Method (RSM) is successfully applied for reliability analyses lot this relatively small probability of failure of the complex structure, which is hard to be calculated by Monte-Carlo Simulations or by First Order Second Moment method that can not easily calculate the derivative terms in implicit limit state functions. For the analysis of system reliability, parallel resistance system composed of girders is modeled as a parallel series connection system. The upper and lower probabilities of failure for the structural system have been evaluated and compared with the suggested prediction method for the combination of failure modes. The suggested prediction method for the combination of failure modes reveals the unexpected combinations of element failures in significantly reduced time and efforts, compared with the previous permutation method or conventional system reliability analysis method.

Hanger cable tension is a major response that can determine the integrity and safety of suspension bridges. In general, the vibration method is used to estimate hanger cable tension on operational suspension bridges. It measures natural frequencies from hanger cables and indirectly estimates tension using the geometry conditions of the hanger cables. This study estimated the hanger cable tension of the Palyeong Bridge using a vision-based system. The vision-based system used digital camcorders and tripods considering the convenience and economic efficiency of measurement. Measuring the natural frequencies for high-order modes required for the vibration method is difficult because the hanger cable response measured using the vision-based system is displacement-based. Therefore, this study proposed a back analysis technique for estimating tension using the natural frequencies of low-order modes. Optimization for the back analysis technique was performed by defining the difference between the natural frequencies of hanger cables measured in the field and those calculated using finite element analysis as the objective function. The direct search method that does not require the partial derivatives of the objective function was applied as the optimization method. The reliability and accuracy of the back analysis technique were verified by comparing the tension calculated using the method with that estimated using the vibration method. Tension was accurately estimated using the natural frequencies of low-order modes by applying the back analysis technique.

Numerical model became one of most important tools for identifying the state of an existing structure in accordance with development of numerical analysis techniques. A numerical model should be updated based on the measured responses from the existing structure to accurately use the model for identifying the state of the bridge and executing numerical experiments. In this study, a new model updating method based on repetition method without a differential function is introduced and applicability for high speed railway bridge is verified with dynamic stability analysis. A fine measurement based on measurement points roaming method was executed with an wireless measurement system for precise dynamic characteristic analysis. The natural frequencies and mode shapes were estimated by correlation analysis and a mode decomposition technique. An initial numerical model was constructed based on design drawings and the model have been updated in accordance with the introduced model updating method. The results from numerical experiment and field test have been compared for verifying the applicability of the model updating method. And the dynamic stability analysis has been executed to verify the usability of the updated numerical model and the model updating method. It seems that the model updating method can be used for various bridges after evaluation of applicability for other type bridges in further studies.

Numerical solutions are presented for the heat transfer from radiating and convecting fins. Consideration is given to thin, annular fins attached to a tube surface for which the temperature is constant. Fin to fin, fin to base, and fin to environment radiative interactions are considered. It is assumed that the radiating surface is diffuse-gray, the environment is black, and the surrounding fluid is transparent. The radiation terms are formulated by using Poljak's net-radiation methoad. The mathematical description of the simultaneously heat transport by conduction, convection, and radiation leads to a nonlinear integro-differential equation. This has been solved for a wide range of the pertinent physical parameters by using finite difference method and iteration method based on the Newton-Raphson technique. The temperature distributions, heat transfer rates, fin efficiencies, and fin effectivenesses are presented in dimensionless form. The results definitely indicate that the use of fins leads to a significant increase in heat transfer compared with the unfinned tube.

In computing the optical flow, Horn and Schunck's method which is a representative algorithm is based on differentiation. Therefore it is difficult to estimate the velocity for a large displacement by this algorithm. In this paper, we propose a method for estimating nonuniform motion from sequential images which is based on integral brightness constancy constraints. The equations which transform a source image to a target image are expressed as a function of the displacement field. If marginal effects can be neglected, the form of the transformation integral transform or orthogonal expansion can be determined from the expansion coefficients of the two images. The apparent displacement field is then computed iteratively by a projection method which utilities the functional derivatives of the linearized moment equations. We demonstrate that the performance of the orthogonal function transform on the data set of large motion.
