We propose a method for improving detection speed of small target detection system using SAD algorithm. First, the proposed method deletes clutters using a median filter. Next, it does closing and opening operation using various size of structure elements, and extracts candidate pixels for a target with subtraction operation between the results of closing and opening operation. It finally detects a small target using a gaussian distance function from the candidate pixels. To improve detection speed, it detects a target performing SAD algorithm only for the predicted target areas for next every 7 frames. The proposed method not only enables a real time process because it considers only predicted area but also shows detecting rate of 97%.

자궁경부암은 다른 암과 달리 전암(前癌) 단계가 존재하므로 조기에 발견할 경우 생존율이 높다. 그러나 검체 적정성의 부족과 검체 체취의 오류로 인해 질병이 있음에도 음성으로 나타나는 위음성률이 높다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 세포 도말검사에서 사용되는 자궁 경부진 세포에서 암종 세포를 추출하는 방법을 제안한다. 영상의 배경 그리고 핵과 세포질 영역의 구분이 중요하기 때문에 조기 자궁 경부 세포진 영상에서 핵의 추출은 Lighting Compensation을 적용하여 영상을 보정하고, 명암도 분포가 가장 작은 B 채널과 명암도 분포가 높은 R채널과의 OR 연산을 적용한 후, $3{\times}3$마스크를 이용하여 잡음을 제거한다. 잡음이 제거된 영상을 이진화하고 Grassfire 알고리즘을 이용하여 암종 세포의 후보 객체를 추출한다. 추출된 세포 객체에서 핵의 크기, 핵의 면적과 핵의 외곽의 방향성 정보를 이용하여 백혈구와 잡음으로 구성된 객체를 제거한다. 세포 도말검사 과정에서 겹쳐진 부분은 거리 함수와 명암도를 이용하여 마커를 추출하고 추출된 마커 정보와 워터쉐드 알고리즘을 적용하여 겹쳐진 암종 세포를 분리한다. 자궁경부 편평 세포진 400 배율 영상과 자궁 경부 상피내 종양 400 배율 영상을 대상으로 실험한 결과, 기존의 자궁 경부진 암종 세포 추출 방법보다 효과적으로 암종 세포 영역이 추출되는 것을 확인하였다.

This study proposes an iterative approach to the estimation of the marginal abatement costs of undesirable outputs by computing the slope of the efficient production possibilities frontier on the basis of the efficient projection points generated by the directional output distance function approach due to Fare et al. (2005) based on duality theory. In case of the latter methodology, the estimated marginal abatement costs differ significantly depending on the choice of the directional output vector. In addition, depending on the curvature of the underlying PPF the efficient projection points may be located at a significant distance away from their actually observed counterparts. While it would be more logical to estimate marginal abatement costs as a PPF slope at a point corresponding to the actually observed emissions level, the methodology based on duality theory is likely to produce unstable results due to the problems associated with applying the theorem of implicit function differentiation. Since our methodology is not based on duality theory, our results are immune to both of these problems. We apply our methodology to a sample of Western European countries for the period of 1995-2011 to illustrate our approach.

본 논문에서는 최신 동영상 압축 표준 규격 H.264에서 화면 간 예측 부호화시 참조 화면 수가 제한되어 있을 때 부호화 효율을 최대화할 수 있는 적웅적 참조 화면 선택 기법을 제안하였다. 참조 화면 선택 시 시간적인 거리를 우선시 하는 현재 방식은 부호화 효율 측면에서 최적의 선택과는 거리가 있다. 따라서 참조 화면 선택에 있어서 실시간 온라인 상황을 가정하고 부가적인 계산을 최소화하는 것을 조건으로 했을 때 대표 화면과의 간접 비교를 통하여 현재 참조 화면들 간 상호 유사성이 가장 큰 화면을 제외하는 방법을 통해 문제를 해결하고자 하였다. 화면 간 예측 부호화 시 참조 화면 간 중복되는 요소를 최대한 줄이는 방향으로 참조 화면을 선택해 나감으로서 참조되는 샘플들을 다양화할 수 있다. 참조 화면 간 상호 유사성 판별은 대표 화면과 각 참조 화면 간 움직임 정보를 고려해 화면 간 부호화시 계산되는 8*8 블록의 R-D 비용함수 값을 사용하였다. 실험 결과 기존의 슬라이딩 윈도우 방식을 이용한 참조 화면 선택 방법에 비해 부가적인 계산이 거의 없이 부호화 효율의 개선이 있었으며 그 개선 정도는 기존의 방식에서 참조 화면을 $1{\sim}2$장 더 사용한 결과와 같았다. 이는 기존의 방법에 의해 참조 화면을 선택할 경우 나타나는 참조 화면 간 중복성을 줄였기 때문이다.

This paper describes implementation of functions for mobile robot localization, which is one of the vital technologies for autonomous navigation of a mobile robot. There are several function libraries for mobile robot navigation. Some of them have limited applicability for practical use since they can be used only for simulation. Our research focuses on development of functions which can be used for localization of indoor robots. The functions implement deadreckoning and motion model of mobile robots, measurement model of range sensors, and frequently used calculations on angular directions. The functions encompass various types of robots and sensors. Also, various types of uncertainties in robot motion and sensor measurements are implemented so that the user can select proper ones for their use. The functions are tested and verified through simulation and experiments.

Recently, Intense competition is expected to bring about continuous change with the rapid global aviation industry. In particular, domestic passenger demand has been steadily increasing over the past five years, with domestic and international shipments growing at a CAGR of 8.4% and 10.0%, respectively. In addition to the economic value of the airport, social interest due to greenhouse gas emissions is also rising. In this study, we analyzed the efficiency of airport operation by using DEA model(Directional Technology Distance Function) considering undesirable output for 14 airports in Korea. As a result of analysis, all airports except Gimhae, Yangyang, Cheongju and Yeosu were analyzed as efficient airports. However, only Gimpo, Gimhae, Jeju, Muan, Daegu and Gwangju were analyzed as efficient airports considering the undesirable output.

Recently, the successful appointment of the general directorate of GCF (Green Climate Fund) in Songdo of Korea made a great history for the golden triangle with GGGI (global Green Growth Institute) and GTC (Green Technology Center). Now, Korea became the Mecca for the global green growth and it gave a great opportunity foe the Korea to lead the global economy in the future. However, to successfully manage the GCF, the Korean government should show their willingness as well as the readiness for the green prowth and green productivity. It is really hard for the Korea, since it takes the second rank for the growth rate of carbon dioxide emission in the world. To overcome this shameful status, it should make the best effort to promote the green productivity, especially in a field of logistics industry, because it takes 21% of global CO2 emission, the second largest portion. The research aims to systematically introduce the Global Malmquist-Luenberger Index (GML) and to evaluate the logistics industry of Korea based on the GML approach. It concludes the innovative technology is utmost important to improve the green productivity of the logistics industry and thus the Korean government should make more aggressive role to fill this missing link in the innovation network.

One of the problems we face up at the time of planning or improving a transportation transfer facility is which modes and how close we have to put together. The goal here is to keep the connecting transportation mode as close as possible to the prime transit mode, so people travel a minimum transfer path, a distance from one mode to another. Too much a physical separation between modes will limit, even with an intensive improvement of the component links, the level of service of a transfer path as a whole. This study defined a transfer path as the whole stretch of the distance from an arrival point of one mode to the departure point of the connecting mode. The transfer path was divided into three typical segments as side walk, stairways, and indoor corridors. Preference surveys were made for each of these segments, resulting in relative resistance. The sum of individual segments weighted with the relative resistance will make a transfer resistance of the path, which in turn constitutes a transfer utility function together with the overall satisfaction score obtained by the interview survey. The transfer utility function has been utilized to evaluate the transfer distance between modes.

Pumping test was conducted to understand hydraulic conductivity for leaky confined aquifer with high permeability. Test aquifer was formed in $25{\sim}35\;m$ below ground surface at predetermined site of riverbank filtration which junction of Nakdong river and Milyang river in the Ttaan isle, Gimhae city, Korea Monitoring wells were located at intervals of 2 m and 5 m from pumping well in south-west direction (MW1 and MW2 wells) and northeast direction (MW3 and MW4 wells), respectively. Pumping test was continuously conducted for constant pumping rate of $2,500m^3/day$, hydraulic conductivity was estimated using AQTESOLV 3.5 program. Hydraulic conductivity were estimated to be $1.745{\times}10^{-3}m/sec$ for pumping well (PW), $2.452{\times}10^{-3}m/sec$ for between PW and MW1 wells, $2.161{\times}10^{-3}m/sec$ for between PW and MW2 wells, $2.270{\times}10^{-3}m/sec$ for between PW and MW3 wells and $2.591{\times}10^{-3}m/sec$ for between PW and MW4 wells. The function of hydraulic conductivity (K) as monitoring distance (d) were estimated to be logK = 0.0693logd - 2.671 for south-west direction (PW-MW1-MW2 line), logK = 0.0817logd - 2.655 for north-east direction (PW-MW3-MW 4 line). Scale exponent of hydraulic conductivity as test volume was estimated using Schulze-Makuch et al.(1999) method. Scale exponent of this aquifer was estimated to be 0.15. It means that test aquifer has very low heterogeneity. The radius of influence estimated using transmissivity, maximum groundwater level displacement, distance from pumping well and pumping rate during pumping test were 7.148 m for south-west direction and 6.912 m for north-east direction. The increasing rate of hydraulic conductivity from pumping well to maximum radius of influence were estimated to be 1.40 times for south-west direction and 1.49 times for north-east direction. Thus, heterogeneity of test aquifer was a little higher in north-east direction.
