무손실 이미지 압축은 (Lossless Image Compression)은 손실이미지 압축(Lossy Image Compression)에 비해, 압축률(compression ratio)은 떨어지지만, 반면 원이미지와 복원이미지가 완전히 일치하므로, 원인이미지의 품질을 그대로 유지학 수 있다. 따라서, 이미지의 품질(Quality)과 압축효율(compression ratio)은 서로 상반된 관계에 있으며, 지금도 좀 더 놀은 압축효과를 얻으려는 여러 무손실 압축 방법이 발표되고 있다. 무손실 이미지 압축은 이미지의 정확성과 정밀성이 요구되는, 의료영양분야에서 가장 널리 쓰이고 있으며, 그밖에, 원본이미지를 기본으로 다른 이미지프로세싱이 필요한 경우, 압축 복원을 반복적으로 수행할 필요가 있을 때, 기타 사진 예술분야, 원격 영상 등 정밀성이 요구되는 분양에서 쓰이고 있다. [7]. 무손실 이미지 압축의 가장 대표적인 CALIC[3]과 JPEG_LS[2]를 들 수 있다. CALIC은 비교적 높은 압축률을 나타내지만, 3-PASS의 과정을 거치는 복잡도가 지적되고 있다. 반면 JPEG-LS는 압축률은 CALIC에 미치지 못하지만 빠른 코딩/디코딩 속도를 보인다. 본 논문에서는 여거 가지의 예측 모드를 두어, 블록단위별로 주변 CONTEXT에 따라, 최상의 예측 모드를 판단하여, 이를 적용, 픽셀의 여러 값을 최소화하였다. 그 후 적응산술 부호기(Adaptive arithmetc coder)를 이용하여, 인코딩을 하였다. 이때 최대 에러값은 64를 넘지 않게 했으며, 또한 8*8블록별로 에러의 최대값을 측정하여 그 값을 $0\~7$까지의 8개의 대표값으로 양자화하는 방법을 통하여 그에 따라 8개의 보호화 심볼 모델중 알맞은 모델에 적용하였다. 이를 통해, 그 소화값의 확률 구간을 대폭 넓힘으로써, 에러 이미지가 가지고 있는 엔트로피에 좀 근접하게 코딩을 할 수 있게 되었다. 이 방법은 실제로 Arithmetic Coder를 이용하는 다른 압축 방법에 그리고 적용할 수 있다. 실험 결과 압축효율은 JPEG-LS보다 약 $5\%$의 압축 성능 개선이 있었으며, CALIC과는 대등한 압축률을 보이며, 부호화/복호화 속도는 CALIC보다 우수한 것으로 나타났다.

The purpose of this study is to acquire essential data to reduce the amount of woody debris resulted from the debris flow. This research examined topographic characteristics of the channelbed affecting generation, movement and storage of woody debris and woody characteristics related to number, sizes, shapes, decay, storage direction to mountainous stream. 1. The number of woody debris had a tendency to increase in proportion to stream width, but it was hardly affected by longitudinal gradient of stream. Especially, the greater amount of woody debris was stored at wide section of the stream with compound channel, and it was found in deposits of channelbed rather than in the present channel. 2. Total woody debris over 10cm in diameter and over 2m in length was 402 units and storage number was 35.3 units per 100m of stream. Average diameter of breast height and length were 14cm and 4m, respectively. The woody debris appeared shorter in length and greater in diameter at down-stream than up-stream. 3. Since woody debris met sediments and bed-materials of great roughness in moving, the greater amount of woody debris without root was found in up-stream and down-stream, but deformed woody debris was discovered in upper stream. Decay of woody debris was more severe in down-stream and woody debris on rotting process was found down-stream. 4. Storage direction of woody debris was mainly parallel to center line of stream, and rate of parallel and perpendicularity was 276 and 126 units, respectively. But, as woody debris storing to the perpendicular direction was unstable, the traveling debris could easily be stored. Therefore, some counterplan was required to prevent the traveling woody debris. 5. Tree species of woody debris was mainly larch, which occupied about two third of total woody debris(256 units). The woody debris of larch is easy to move due to hitting of channelbed materials or lower channelbed fluctuation because the lower part of larch is weaker than its upper part. Therefore, the section of the tree species planting in the riparian vegetation needs much more carefulness.

Denitrification in streams is of great importance because it is essential for amelioration of water quality and accurate estimation of $N_2O$ budgets. Denitrification is a major biological source or sink of $N_2O$, an important greenhouse gas, which is a multi-step respiratory process that converts nitrate ($NO_3{^-}$) to gaseous forms of nitrogen ($N_2$ or $N_2O$). In aquatic ecosystems, the complex interactions of water flooding condition, substrate supply, hydrodynamic and biogeochemical properties modulate the extent of multi-step reactions required for $N_2O$ flux. Although water flow in streambed and residence time affect reaction output, effects of a complex interaction of hydrodynamic, geomorphology and biogeochemical controls on the magnitude of denitrification in streams are still illusive. In this work, we built a two-dimensional water flow channel and measured $N_2O$ flux from channel sediment with different bed geomorphology by using static closed chambers. Two independent experiments were conducted with identical flume and geomorphology but sediment with differences in dissolved organic carbon (DOC). The experiment flume was a circulation channel through which the effluent flows back, and the size of it was $37m{\times}1.2m{\times}1m$. Five days before the experiment began, urea fertilizer (46% N) was added to sediment with the rate of $0.5kg\;N/m^2$. A sand dune (1 m length and 0.15 m height) was made at the middle of channel to simulate variations in microtopography. In high- DOC experiment, $N_2O$ flux increases in the direction of flow, while the highest flux ($14.6{\pm}8.40{\mu}g\;N_2O-N/m^2\;hr$) was measured in the slope on the back side of the sand dune. followed by decreases afterward. In contrast, low DOC sediment did not show the geomorphological variations. We found that even though topographic variation influenced $N_2O$ flux and chemical properties, this effect is highly constrained by carbon availability.

자동화 기술을 통한 한국형 스마트팜의 발전이 비약적으로 이루어지고 있는 가운데 무인화를 위한 지능적인 스마트 시설환경 관찰 및 분석에 대한 요구가 점점 증가 하고 있다. 스마트 시설환경에서 취득 가능한 시계열 데이터는 온도, 습도, 조도, CO2, 토양 수분, 환기량 등 다양하다. 시스템의 경계가 명확함에도 해당 속성의 특성상 타임도메인과 공간도메인 상에서 정확한 추정 또는 예측이 난해하다. 시설 환경에 접목이 증가하고 있는 지능형 관리 기술 구현을 위해선 시계열 공간 데이터에 대한 신속하고 정확한 정량화 기술이 필수적이라 할 수 있다. 이러한 기술적인 요구사항을 해결하고자 시도되는 다양한 방법 중에서 공간 분해능 향상을 위한 다지점 계측 메트릭스를 실험적으로 구성하였다. $50m{\times}100m$의 단면적인 연동 딸기 온실을 대상으로 $3{\times}3{\times}3$의 3차원 환경 인자 계측 매트릭스를 설치하였다. 1 Hz의 주기로 4가지 환경인자(온도, 습도, 조도, CO2)를 계측하였으며, 계측 하는 시점과 동시에 병렬적으로 공간통계법을 이용하여 미지의 지점에 대한 환경 인자들을 실시간으로 추정하였다. 선행적으로 50 cm 공간 분해능에 대응하기 위하여 Kriging interpolation법을 횡단면에 대하여 분석한 후 다시 종단면에 대하여 분석하였다. 3 Ghz에 해당하는 연산 능력을 보유한 컴퓨터에서 1초 동안 획득한 데이터에 대한 분석을 마치는데 소요되는 시간이 15초 내외로 나타났다. 이는 해당 알고리즘의 매우 높은 시간 복잡도(Order of $O=O^3$)에 기인하는 것으로 다양한 시설 환경의 관리 방법론에 적절히 대응하기에 한계가 있다 할 수 있다. 실시간으로 시간 복잡도가 높은 연산을 수행하기 위한 기술적인 과제를 해결하고자, 근래에 관심이 증가하고 있는 NVIDIA 사에서 제공하는 CUDA 엔진과 Apple사의 제안을 시작으로 하여 공개 소프트웨어 개발 컨소시엄인 크로노스 그룹에서 제공하는 OpenCL 엔진을 비교 분석하였다. CUDA 엔진은 GPU(Graphics Processing Unit)에서 정보 분석 프로그램의 연산 집약적인 부분만을 담당하여 신속한 결과를 산출할 수 있는 라이브러리이며 해당 하드웨어를 구비하였을 때 사용이 가능하다. 반면, OpenCL은 CUDA 엔진이 특정 하드웨어에서 구동이 되는 한계를 극복하고자 하드웨어에 비의존적인 라이브러리를 제공하는 것이 다르며 클러스터링 기술과 연계를 통해 낮은 하드웨어 성능으로 인한 단점을 극복하고자 하였다. 본 연구에서는 CUDA 8.0(https://developer.nvidia.com/cuda-downloads)버전과 Pascal Titan X(NVIDIA, CA, USA)를 사용한 방법과 OpenCL 1.2(https://www.khronos.org/opencl/)버전과 Samsung Exynos5422 칩을 장착한 ODROID-XU4(Hardkernel, AnYang, Korea)를 사용한 방법을 비교 분석하였다. 50 cm의 공간 분해능에 대응하기 위한 4차원 행렬($100{\times}200{\times}5{\times}4$)에 대하여 정수 지수화를 위한 Quantization을 거쳐 CUDA 엔진과 OpenCL 엔진을 적용한 비교한 결과, CUDA 엔진은 1초 내외, OpenCL 엔진의 경우 5초 내외의 연산 속도를 보였다. CUDA 엔진의 경우 비용측면에서 약 10배, 전력 소모 측면에서 20배 이상 소요되었다. 따라서 우선적으로 OpenCL 엔진 기반 하드웨어 가속 기술 최적화 연구를 통해 스마트 시설환경 실시간 시뮬레이션 기술 도입을 위한 기술적 과제를 풀어갈 것이다.

In this study, a novel soft information based most probable classification scheme is proposed for sorting recyclable metal alloys with laser induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS). Regression analysis with LIBS captured spectrums for estimating concentrations of common elements can be efficient for classifying unknown arbitrary metal alloys, even when that particular alloy is not included for training. Therefore, partial least square regression (PLSR) is employed in the proposed scheme, where spectrums of the certified reference materials (CRMs) are used for training. With the PLSR model, the concentrations of the test spectrum are estimated independently and are compared to those of CRMs for finding out the most probable class. Then, joint soft information can be obtained by assuming multi-variate normal (MVN) distribution, which enables to account the probability measure or a prior information and improves classification performance. For evaluating the proposed schemes, MVN soft information is evaluated based on PLSR of LIBS captured spectrums of 9 metal CRMs, and tested for classifying unknown metal alloys. Furthermore, the likelihood is evaluated with the radar chart to effectively visualize and search the most probable class among the candidates. By the leave-one-out cross validation tests, the proposed scheme is not only showing improved classification accuracies but also helpful for adaptive post-processing to correct the mis-classifications.

A dynamic analysis method that freezes a time domain by discretization and solves the spatial propagation equation has a unique feature that provides a degree of freedom on spatial domain compared with the space discretization or space-time discretization finite element method. Using this feature, the time finite element analysis can be effectively applied to optimize the spatial characteristics of distributed type actuators. In this research, the time domain finite element method was used to discretize the model. A state variable vector was used in the discretization to include arbitrary initial conditions. A performance index was proposed on spatial domain to consider both potential and vibrational energy, so that the resulting shape of the distributed actuator was optimized for dynamic control of the structure. It is assumed that the structure satisfies the final rest condition using the realizable control scheme although the initial disturbance can affect the system response. Both equations on states and costates were derived based on the selected performance index and structural model. Ricatti matrix differential equations on state and costate variables were derived by the reconfiguration of the sub-matrices and application of time/space boundary conditions, and finally optimal actuator distribution was obtained. Numerical simulation results validated the proposed actuator shape optimization scheme.
