This paper proposes a computationally efficient algorithm for color image segmentation using self-organizing map(SOM) and grassfire algorithm. We reduce a computation time by decreasing the number of input neuron and input data which is used for learning at SOM. First converting input image to CIE $L^*u^*v^*$ color space and run the learning stage with the SOM-input neuron size is three and output neuron structure is 4by4 or 5by5. After learning, compute output value correspondent with input pixel and merge adjacent pixels which have same output value into segment using grassfire algorithm. The experimental results with various images show that proposed method lead to a good segmentation results than others.

This paper proposes a multi-view Wyner-Ziv Video coding scheme based on spatio-temporal adaptive estimation. The proposed algorithm is designed to search for a better estimated block with joint bi-directional motion estimation by introducing weights between temporal and spatial directions, and by classifying effectively the region of interest blocks, which is based on the edge detection and the synthesis, and by selecting the reference estimation block from the effective motion vector analysis. The proposed algorithm exploits the information of a single frame viewpoint and adjacent frame viewpoints, simultaneously and then generates adaptively side information in a variety of closure, and reflection regions to have a better performance. Through several simulations with multi-view video sequences, it is shown that the proposed algorithm performs visual quality improvement as well as bit-rate reduction, compared to the conventional methods.

염(Salts)은 일반적으로 가장 강력한 풍화요인 물질 중 하나이다. 염의 결정화(crystallization) 및 수화(hydration)작용은 석재의 화학적 풍화 뿐만이 아니라 물리적 풍화를 가속화 시킨다. 감은사지 석탑은 오랜 세월 대기 중에 노출되어 대기환경오염으로 인한 화학적 풍화 뿐만이 아니라 지리적으로 바다에 인접해 있어 바다에서 기원한 염화나트륨(NaCl)의 영향으로 다른 석조물에 비해 심한 물리적 풍화현상을 보이고 있다. 편광 현미경 및 SEM, XRD, XRF를 이용하여 석탑의 구성석재 및 염(salts)에 대한분석을 실시하였으며, 용출실험을 통해 얻은 용액에 대해서는 IC와 ICP-AES를 이용하여 분석하였고, 염류와 석재의 반응산물로 만들어진 염에 대해서는 정방위시료와 부정방위시료를 제작하여 분석하였다. 감은사지 석탑을 이루는 암석은 결정응회암으로 주 구성 광물은 사장석 및 정장석이며 소량의 석영 및 흑운모 등이 함유되어 있고 소량의 유리질 석기로 구성되어 있다. 석재의 표면에는 주 구성 광물들의 화학적 풍화로 인해서 생성된 2차 광물로 팽창성 점토광물인 스멕타이트가 존재하며, 대기오염물질과의 결합에 의해 생성된 대표적인 황산염인 석고$(gypsum,\;CaSO_4{\cdot}2H_2O)$, 소금(halite, NaCl), 해양기원 염류인 소금성분과 대기오염물질이 만들어낸 테나다이트$(thenardite,\;Na_2SO_4)$가 존재한다. 이들 염류는 일차적으로 암석의 표면에 백화현상을 초래하기도 하고, 대기 중의 오염물질과 결합하여 일부는 흑화현상을 보이기도 한다. 또한 암석 내 수분이 증가할 경우 이들 염들이 암석의 공극이나 열극을 따라 내부로 이동하여 subflorescence를 발생시켜 박락 및 박탈의 원인이 되었으며, 온도와 수분의 변화에 따른 이들 염(salts)의 수화 및 결정 작용 그리고 새로운 염(salts)의 침전작용을 반복하면서 석재 내부와 외부의 암석 및 결정에 균열과 미세열극 등이 생성되어 석재 자체의 구조적 안정성에 영향을 주고 있다. 따라서 감은사지 석탑은 지리적 환경 차이로 인해 일반적인 환경의 석조물들과는 다른 형태의 풍화양상을 보이고 있어서 풍화양상 및 풍화형태에 대한 정확한 연구와 이해를 바탕으로 보존대책이 마련되어야 한다.

In this paper, a channel combiner is designed to combine two adjacent digital TV channels without interference to transmit these channels with one broadband antenna. A constant impedance type combiner, consisting of two identical bandpass filters and two identical 3 dB power combiners, is chosen as a channel combiner. The bandpass filter used in the channel combiner also suppresses out-of-band signal caused by digital transmitter's non-linearity. H-plane type bandpass filters and branch-line fewer combiners are adopted in the design. The simulated results of the designed bandpass filter and power combiner show excellent agreement with the theoretical results. Finally, a channel combiner is designed by combining filters with rover combiners and the characteristics are simulated. It is shown that the designed channel combiner shows excellent performance.

Periodontal tissue destroyed by inflammation is difficult to achieve regeneration of the tissue and esthetic restorations only by surgical methods. In particular, improvement of esthetics is more difficult if the problem is related to the implant. A 23 year old woman suffered from unesthetic anterior implant prosthesis. According to her dental history, a repeated bone graft and soft tissue graft failed at a local dental clinic. It was needed to resolve the inflammation and to improve the esthetics. A free gingival graft and ridge augmentation accompanied by guided bone regeneration and a vascularized interpositional periosteal connective tissue graft was performed. Instead of implant prosthesis, a conventional fixed bridge was adopted for better esthetic result. The patient was satisfied with the esthetic conventional fixed prosthesis. This case report introduces esthetic rehabilitation of unesthetic implant prosthetics in the maxillary anterior dentition by a combination of surgical and prosthetic approaches.

We studied the specular spin valve (SSV) having the spin filter layer (SFL) in contact with the ultrathin free layer composed of Ta3/NiFe2/IrMn7/CoFel/(NOLl)/CoFe2/Cu1.8/CoFe( $t_{F}$)/Cu( $t_{SF}$ )/(NOL2)/Ta3.5 (in nm) by the magnetron sputtering system. For this antiferromagnetic I $r_{22}$M $n_{78}$-pinned spin filter specular spin valve (SFSSV) films, an optimal magnetoresistance (MR) ratio of 11.9% was obtained when both the free layer thickness ( $t_{F}$) and the SFL thickness ( $t_{SF}$ ) were 1.5 nm, and the MR ratio higher than 11% was maintained even when the $t_{F}$ was reduced to 1.0 nm. It was due to increase of specular electron by the nano-oxide layer (NOL) and of current shunting through the SFL. Moreover, the interlayer coupling field ( $H_{int}$) between free layer and pinned layer could be explained by considering the RKKY and magnetostatic coupling. The coercivity of the free layer ( $H_{cf}$ ) was significantly reduced as compared to the traditional spin valve (TSV), and was remained as low as 4 Oe when the $t_{F}$ varied from 1 nm to 4 urn. It was found that the SFL made it possible to reduce the free layer thickness and enhance the MR ratio without degrading the soft magnetic property of the free layer.

Studies applying multiple carrier method such as OFDM(Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing) or FMT(Filtered Multi-Tone) to Underwater acoustic communication(UAC) system are actively under way as UAC is utilized in the various fields and the demand of high speed data transmission increases. In the existing OFDM method, the use of virtual carrier, which is inserted not to affect the adjacent channel in the frequency domain, and the cyclic prefix, which is used to reduce the impact of Inter Symbol Interference and Inter Channel Interference, decrease the throughput. In particular, the length of cyclic prefix to be used becomes longer under water since underwater has a rapidly changing channel characteristic, and the data throughput diminishes because it has to allocate more subcarrier on virtual carrier. This study therefore suggests FMT-OFDM system, a combination of OFDM and FMT, for the purpose of enhanced throughput in the underwater channel environment. Besides, in this study, channel is modeled based on data measured in real sea and the performance is analyzed after setting system parameters.

This paper propose a method that controls facial expression of 3D avatar by having the user select a sequence of facial expressions in the space of facial expressions. And we setup its system. The space of expression is created from about 2400 frames consist of motion captured data of facial expressions. To represent the state of each expression, we use the distance matrix that represents the distances between pairs of feature points on the face. The set of distance matrices is used as the space of expressions. But this space is not such a space where one state can go to another state via the straight trajectory between them. We derive trajectories between two states from the captured set of expressions in an approximate manner. First, two states are regarded adjacent if the distance between their distance matrices is below a given threshold. Any two states are considered to have a trajectory between them If there is a sequence of adjacent states between them. It is assumed . that one states goes to another state via the shortest trajectory between them. The shortest trajectories are found by dynamic programming. The space of facial expressions, as the set of distance matrices, is multidimensional. Facial expression of 3D avatar Is controled in real time as the user navigates the space. To help this process, we visualized the space of expressions in 2D space by using the multidimensional scaling(MDS). To see how effective this system is, we had users control facial expressions of 3D avatar by using the system. As a result of that, users estimate that system is very useful to control facial expression of 3D avatar in real-time.

The fatigue crack growth behavior of a cracked and patch-repaired Ah2024-T3 panel has been monitored by acoustic emission(AE). The overall crack growth rate was reduced The crack propagation into the adjacent hole was also retarded by introducing the patch repair. AE signals due to crack growth after the patch repair and those due to debonding of the plate-patch interface were discriminated by usiag the principal component analysis. The former showed high center frequency and low amplitude, whereas the latter showed long rise tine, low frequency and high amplitude. This type of AE signal recognition method could be effective for the prediction of fatigue crack growth behavior in the patch-repaired structures with the aid of AE source location.

We designed the $1.3/1.55\mum$ WDM directional coupler and its coupling length was calculated with the variation of the two waveguide's core separation and other variables by the Fourier transformed scalar wave equation. We deposited the PSG films for optical waveguide by low pressure chemical vapor deposition and fabricated the WDM coupler using the laser lithography and $CF_4/O_2$ reactive ion etching process. A V -groove which was made to support and fix the optical fiber is fabricated on Si substrate by chemical etching. The WDM coupler and the V-groove are connected using UV curing epoxy. We found that propagation mode of each port of WDM coupler is single mode and maximum extinction ratio between two out ports is 6 dB for $1.3.\mum$, and 12 dB for $1.55\mum$. /TEX>.
