본 논문에서는 얼굴의 특징 추출 알고리즘을 제안한다. 입력 영상을 이진 영상으로 처리한 후, 얼굴 요소 후보 블록의 면적, 둘레, 원형도, 종횡비를 이용하여 불변하는 눈, 코, 입의 특징 요소를 추출한다. 사람의 얼굴에 대한 특징 요소를 추출하기 위하여 우선 이진 영상을 생성한다. 하나 하나의 고립된 영역으로 분리하기 위하여 화소 레이블링을 한 후 만들어진 얼굴 요소 후보 블록 단위로 면적을 구하고, 윤곽선 추적 방법에 의하여 둘레를 구한 다음 면적, 둘레, 원형도 및 종횡비의 유사도를 구한다 블록의 종합 유사도, 대칭적 거리, 위치의 유사도를 활용하여 눈, 코, 입을 추출한다. 추출된 각 특징 요소간의 거리와 각도를 이용하여 12개의 특징 인수를 구하는 제안 알고리즘을 수행함으로써 얼굴의 특징 인수들을 추출한다. 각 특징점 사이의 거리와 각 거리간의 기울기를 이용하여 100명으로부터 획득한 297개의 원 영상을 대상으로 12개의 특징 파라미터를 추출한 결과 92.93%의 추출 성공률을 보였다. 이러한 결과는 외부 환경의 영향을 덜 받는 눈, 코, 입의 위치 관계의 블록을 근거로 특징 요소를 추출할 수 있도록 제안 알고리즘을 구성하였던 것으로 판단된다.

The Hough transform is a popular method for ellipse detection from image. But the method wastes time and memory space severely. And the existing methods for elliptical arc segmentation are very sensitive to noise or detect improper breakpoints. In this paper a fast method is proposed for the segmentation and detection of elliptical arcs from digital curve using its area. Experimental results show that the proposed method segments and detects elliptical arcs from noisy curves and the average of the distance errors between the fitted arc and given curve is within a threshold.

We have proposed an efficient method of word separation in a handwritten legal amount on bank check based on the spatial gaps between the connected components. The previous gap measures all suffer from the inherent problem of underestimation or overestimation that causes a deterioration in separation performance. In order to alleviate such burden, we have developed a modified version of each distance measure. Also, 4 class clustering based method of integrating three different types of distance measures has been proposed to compensate effectively the errors in each measure, whereby further improvement in performance of word separation is expected. Through a series of word separation experiments, we found that the modified distance measures show a better performance with over 2 - 3% of the word separation rate than their corresponding original distance measures. In addition, the proposed combining method based on 4-class clustering achieved further improvement by effectively reducing the errors common to two of three distance measures as well as the individual errors.

The previous researches of 3D object modeling have been performed in a limited environment where a target object only exists. However, in order to model an object in the real environment, we need to consider a dynamic environment, which has various objects and a frequently changing background. Therefore, this paper presents a segmentation and tracking method for a foreground which includes a target object in the dynamic environment. By using depth information than color information, the foreground region can be segmented and tracked more robustly. In addition, the foreground region can be tracked on the sequential images by referring depth distributions of the foreground region because both the position and the status in the consecutive images of the foreground region are almost unchanged. Experimental results show that our proposed method can robustly segment and track the foreground region in various conditions of the real environment. Moreover, as an application of the proposed method, it is presented a method for modeling an object extracting the object regions from the foreground region that is segmented and tracked.

Both exponents of distance and elevation into distance-and-elevation ratio method for estimating missing rainfall data are expressed as squares together but in this study the two exponents are differently separated and analyzed. We used 326 hourly rainfall events of precipitation data during 10 years of 2004 to 2013 observed at a base station of Pyeongchang and the five neighboring index stations-Bangrim, Suju, Cheongoksan, Jinbu, Yeongwol1-in Han River basin for a case study. As a result, exponent values of distance and elevation appropriate for a topography of the site appear as 3.7 and 0.57 respectively. The exponents of distance and elevation difference need to be applied according to topographical characteristics of site where estimating missing data or interpolation are required.

X-선 검색장치는 대상체의 단면을 스캔하여 결과를 확인하기 때문에 정확성이 낮다는 것이 문제점으로 지적되어왔다. 이를 개선하기 위하여 선행연구로 스테레오 X-선 검색장치를 개발하여 단일 대상체에 대하여 윤곽선 정합 및 볼륨기반 형상복원 연구를 수행하였다. 본 연구에서는 스테레오 X-선 검색장치를 이용하여 두 개의 중첩된 대상체를 스캔하여 형상을 분리 복원하기 위한 연구를 진행하였다. 중첩 대상체에 대한 분리 복원을 위해 벡터정보의 거리값을 계산하여 내 외부 복셀을 분리하고 중첩부분에 대한 제거는 Z축을 기준으로 임계치를 두어 분리하는 알고리즘을 제안하였다. 3차원 스테레오 X-선 검색장치에 대한 스캔영상의 형상복원 알고리즘 개선을 통해 제한된 스캔환경에서 집적화된 대상체의 검색을 가능하도록 할 것이다.

컴퓨터 비전에서 객체의 인식, 추적에 앞서 배경으로부터 전경을 분리하는 배경차감 기법과 분리된 전경에 대한 관심 영역(ROI)을 추출하는 것은 일반적인 방법이다. 하지만 전경을 정확히 분리하지 못하면 개별 객체의 관심영역(ROI) 역시 잘못 추출되는 문제가 발생된다. 본 논문에서는 정확하지 않은 전경 분리로 부터 발생되는 개별 객체에 대한 분산된 관심영역을 병합하는 방법을 제안한다. 본 방법은 배경과 분리된 전경에서 한 객체의 일정 거리 이내에 있는 다른 객체를 가상으로 병합하는 단계, 워터쉐드 분할 알고리즘을 적용하는 단계를 거쳐 다시 블럽 레이블링을 수행한다. 제안 방법을 통하여 배경 모델에서 분리된 개별 객체의 병합된 관심영역을 제공한다. 실험에서 기존의 일반적인 블럽 레이블링 방법만을 적용하여 추출한 전경영역과 제안하는 방법에 의한 전경영역을 비교하여 배경 모델에서 분리된 개별 객체의 관심영역이 효과적으로 추출되는 것을 보인다.

Recently, due to the effective land utilization and environmental protection, the construction of 2-arch tunnel has been gradually increased. In spite of this tendency, the mechanical information for the 2-arch tunnel, especially such as its behavior characteristics and mechanism are not enough. Therefore in this study, the theoretical and numerical studies on the behavior characteristics of 2-arch tunnel are carried out and longitudinal optimum separated distance of tunnel face is proposed by considering the analysis results from the behavior of advanced excavation of tunnel and stress of central pillar. As a result, longitudinal optimum separated distance of tunnel face is in 0.5D for the better safety of 2-arch tunnel by rapidly decreasing the stress concentration of central pillar.

The concept of $k$-shortest disjoint paths is considered important because the establishment of primary and backup forwarding paths exploiting shorter distance and faster propagation time is a dominant consideration for the design of a survivable backbone network. Therefore, we need to evaluate how well the concept of $k$-shortest disjoint paths is exploited for the design of a survivable ship backbone network considering the international standard related to ship backbone networks, the IEC61162-410 standard specifying how to manage redundant message transmissions among ship devices. Performance evaluations are conducted in terms of following objective goals: link capacity, hop and distance of primary and backup paths, even distribution of traffic flows, restoration time of backup forwarding paths, and physical network topology connectivity.

In recent years, owing to the growing user demand for the two-way internet service based on the move global broadband communications, a new type of satellite terminal has developed, known as earth station in motion (ESIM). This service was required by Resolution 158 (WRC-15) to study on the coexistence with the co-primary fixed service (FS) in 27.5-29.5 GHz as a FSS uplink. In this paper, four scenarios was introduced to account for the antenna pointing error and the azimuth for an analysis on the sharing between ESIM and FS. From analysis results, the required separation distance between two systems should be about 32~52 km according to the elevation angles of $20^{\circ}{\sim}40^{\circ}$ using thresholds of 5% and 10% outage probability. Therefore, it is necessary to control the azimuth angle due to a moving terminal as well as the pointing error of ESIM to minimize the required separation distance and to protect the co-primary FS.
