TSP(Traveling Salesman Problem)는 주어진 N개의 City들을 단 한번씩만 거쳐 출발지로 되돌아오는 경로들 중 가장 작은 비용이 소요되는 경로를 찾는 문제이며, 고전적인 최적화 문제로 널리 알려져 있다. City의 수가 증가하면 최적 Tour를 찾기 위한 연산 시간이 길어지는 단점이 있다. 본 논문에서는 대규모 TSP의 효율적 해결을 위해 새로운 알고리즘을 제안한다. 본 논문에서는 대규모의 City들의 집합을 두개의 소집합으로 분할하고, 병합을 위해 하나의 Junction City를 지정한다. 분할된 두개의 소집합 각각의 최적 Tour를 구한 후 분할된 두 최적 Tour를 병합하여 하나의 근사 Tour를 구한다. 지정된 Junction City는 병합 시 최적 병합조건을 구하는 연산의 간편화를 기대할 수 있다.

RDBMS 상에서 문서에 포함된 키워드 검색을 위한 질의 시 병합 조인 방식을 통해 키워드 검색을 시도하게 된다. 그러나 대용량의 문서를 저장하고 있는 RDBMS 내에서 병합 조인을 사용 시 검색 키워드에 대해 불필요한 비교 연산으로 인하여 질의 문에 대한 검색시간이 길어질 수 있다. 본 논문은 행 지향 관계형 역 색인을 이용하여 키워드 검색 질의 시 병합 조인의 단점을 보완한 지그재그 병합 조인 알고리즘을 사용한다. 관계형 데이터베이스인 postgreSQL 에서 프로시저로 불필요한 비교 연산을 최소화한 지그재그 병합 조인 알고리즘을 구현하여 키워드 검색에 대한 질의 속도 향상을 확인하였다.

This paper describes a color image segmentation algorithm based on region merging using hue difference as a restrictive condition. The proposed algorithm using mathematical morphology and a modified watershed algorithm does over-segmentation in the RGB space to preserve contour information of regions. Then, the segmentation result of color image is acquired by repeated region merging using hue differences as a restrictive condition. This stems from human visual system based on hue, saturation, and intensity. Hue difference between two regions is used as a restrictive condition for region merging because it becomes more important factor than color difference if intensity is not low. Simulation results show that the proposed color image segmentation algorithm provides efficient segmentation results with the predefined number of regions for various color images.

In fuzzy logic, aggregating uncertainties is generally achieved by means of operators such as t-norms and t-conorms. However, existing aggregation operators have some disadvantages as follows : First, they are situation-independent. Thus, they may not be properly applied to dynamic aggregation process. Second, they do not give an intuitional sense to decision making process. To solve these problems, we propose a new $\varepsilon$-AMDA (Aggregation based on the fuzzy Multidimensional Decision Analysis) algorithm to reflect degrees of strength for option i (i = 1, 2, ..., n) in the decision making process. The $\varepsilon$-AMDA algorithm makes adaptive aggregation results between min (the most weakness for an option) and max (the most strength for an option) according to the values of the parameter representing degrees of strength for an option. In this respect, it may be applied to dynamic aggregation process. In addition, it provides a mechanism of the fuzzy multidimensional decision analysis for decision making, and gives an intuitional sense to decision making process. Thus, the proposed method aids the decision maker to get a suitable decision according to the degrees of strength for options (or alternatives).

The present image segmentation is what user want to segment image and has been studied for technology in composition of segment object with other images. In this paper, we propose a method of novel semi-automatic image segmentation using gradual region merging and genetic algorithm. Proposed algorithm is edge detection of object using genetic algorithm after selecting object which user want. We segment region of object which user want to based on detection edge using watershed algorithm. We separated background and object in indefinite region using gradual region merge from Segment object. And, we have applicable value which user want by making interface based on GUI for efficient perform of algorithm development. In the experiments, we analyzed various images for proving superiority of the proposed method.

This paper presents a data structure that implements a mergable double-ended priority queue : namely an improved relaxed min-max-pair heap. By means of this new data structure, we suggest a parallel algorithm to merge priority queues organized in two relaxed heaps of different sizes, n and k, respectively. This new data-structure eliminates the blossomed tree and the lazying method used to merge the relaxed min-max heaps in [9]. As a result, employing max($2^{i-1}$,[(m+1/4)]) processors, this algorithm requires O(log(log(n/k))${\times}$log(n)) time. Also, on the MarPar machine, this method achieves a 35.205-fold speedup with 64 processors to merge 8 million data items which consist of two relaxed min-max heaps of different sizes.

In this paper, we propose a classification model by analyzing raw material images recorded using a color CCD camera to automatically classify good and defective agricultural products such as rice, coffee, and green tea, and raw materials. The current classifying agricultural products mainly depends on visual selection by skilled laborers. However, classification ability may drop owing to repeated labor for a long period of time. To resolve the problems of existing human dependant commercial products, we propose a vision based automatic raw material classification combining mean shift clustering and stepwise region merging algorithm. In this paper, the image is divided into N cluster regions by applying the mean-shift clustering algorithm to the foreground map image. Second, the representative regions among the N cluster regions are selected and stepwise region-merging method is applied to integrate similar cluster regions by comparing both color and positional proximity to neighboring regions. The merged raw material objects thereby are expressed in a 2D color distribution of RG, GB, and BR. Third, a threshold is used to detect good and defective products based on color distribution ellipse for merged material objects. From the results of carrying out an experiment with diverse raw material images using the proposed method, less artificial manipulation by the user is required compared to existing clustering and commercial methods, and classification accuracy on raw materials is improved.

Mean shift procedure is applied for the data points in the joint spatial-range domain and achieves a high quality. However, a color image is segmented differently according to the inputted spatial parameter or range parameter and the demerit is that the image is broken into many small regions in case of the small parameter. In this paper, to improve this demerit, we propose the method that groups similar regions using region merging method for over-segmented images. The proposed method converts a over-segmented image in RGB color space into in HSI color space and merges similar regions by hue information. Here, to preserve edge information, the region merge constraints are used to decide whether regions are merged or not. After then, we merge the regions in RGB color space for non-processed regions in HSI color space. Experimental results show the superiority in region's segmentation results.

무선센서네트워크에서 센서 노드들은 정보를 수집 및 취합하기 위해 다양하게 사용되고 있다. 각 센서들은 베터리 전력을 사용하여 에너지 절약은 가장 중요한 이슈 중 하나다. 현재까지 에너지 소모가 가장 큰 장거리 통신 시 에너지 절약 및 분산제어가 용이한 클러스터링의 데이터 병합 관련 분야는 꾸준히 관심을 받아오고 있다. 최근 이를 기반으로 데이터 병합 시 생기는 딜레이를 최소화하고, 에너지 소비량 도 고려한 다양한 알고리즘들이 제안되었다. 하지만 토폴로지 형성 시 데이터 병합 딜레이와 에너지 효율을 동시에 최적화하는 상황에서 장거리 노드 간 링크 생성 문제는 여전히 해결되지 않고 있다. 본 논문은 이러한 문제점을 해결하기 위해 노드 간 링크를 재구축하여 트리의 구조유지하면서 링크들의 길이를 줄일 수 있는 트리 재구축 알고리즘을 제안한다.

In this paper, we present a method to detect an object such as ship, rock and buoy from sea IR image for the safety navigation. To this end, we do the image smoothing first and the apply watershed algorithm to segment image into subregions. Since watershed algorithm almost always produces over-segmented regions, it requires posterior merging process to get meaningful segmented regions. We propose an efficient merger algorithm that requires only two times of direct access to the pixels regardless of the number of regions. Also by analyzing IR image obtained from sea environments, we could find out that most horizontal edge come out from object regions. For the given input IR image we extract horizontal edge and eliminate isolated edges produced from background and noises by adopting morphological operator. Among the segmented regions, the regions that have horizontal edges are extracted as final results. Experimental results show the adequacy of the proposed method.
