In this paper, we propose an algorithm that can estimate the distance using disparity based on stereo vision system, even though the obstacle is located in long ranges as well as short ranges. We use sub-pixel interpolation to minimize quantization errors which deteriorate the distance accuracy when calculating the distance with integer disparity, and also we use enhanced adaptive fuzzy strong tracking Kalman filter(EAFSTKF) to improve the distance accuracy and track the path optimally. The proposed method can solve the divergence problem caused by nonlinear dynamics such as various vehicle movements in the conventional Kalman filter(CKF), and also enhance the distance accuracy and reliability. Our simulation results show that the performance of our method improves by about 13.5% compared to other methods in point of root mean square error rate(RMSER).

일반적으로 유역의 기저유출 산정에는 적용의 간편성을 이유로 수평직선분리법, N-day법등을 주로 사용해 왔으며 이를 단기호우사상에 대한 모의에 적용해 왔다. 그러나 수평직선분리법이나 N-day에의한 기저유량의 산출은 연구자의 주관성이 반영될 수 있는 가능성이 다분하며 총 유출에 대한 기저 유출의 기여가 상대적으로 크게 되는 장기유출모의에 이용하기에는 효율적이지 못할 뿐 아니라 분석을 수행하는 사람에 따라서 그 결과에 많은 차이가 있을 수 있다. 그래서 최근에는 이러한 문제를 해결하기 위해서 다양한 'Digital Filtering' 방법이 수문곡선 분리에 많이 사용되고 있다. Eckhardt 필터는 출력의 신호대 잡음비가 최소화를 목적함수로 사용하는 최적선형필터의 형태를 갖고 있으며, BFImax 변수 값을 이용하여 수문분석 시 대수층별 특성을 반영할 수 있는 장점을 지니고 있다. 따라서 BFImax 변수 값에 따라서 분리된 직접유출과 기저유출 값에는 상당한 차이가 발생할 수 있는데, 정확한 수문분석을 위해서는 연구대상 유역 내 대수층의 특성에 가장 부합되는 BFImax 변수 값을 구하여야 하는 어려움이 있다. 이러한 문제를 해결하기 위하여 감수곡선 분석방법과 최적화 기법을 이용하여 BFImax 변수 값을 결정해 주는 모듈을 사용하고 있다. 금강유역의 수문곡선분리를 위해 먼저 금강 유역 내 관측소의 강우 및 수위 일 자료를 수집하고 수위자료는 동향, 옥천, 천천, 청성, 호탄지점의 자료를 이용하였다. 관측단위는 일 단위를 사용하였다. 분리된 수문곡선에 대한 검증은 지하수관측이나 중간유출에 대한 관측에 한계가 있기 때문에 정량적인 검증은 쉽지 않은 상황이고 수문곡선에 대한 시각적 판단에 의지하고 있다. 하지만 효과적인 기저유출분리가 가능해진다면 하천 건천화에 대한 정확한 진단과 함께 기후변화에 따른 지하수 및 지표수 영향에 대한 보다 신뢰도 있는 전망이 가능해지므로 매우 중요한 연구 분야라 판단된다.

This paper presents a back-calculation technique leer the prediction of the behavior of earth wall inserted in multi-layered soil deposit. The soil properties are back-calculated from the measured displacement at each construction stage and the behavior of earth wall far the next construction stage is predicted using back-calculated soil properties. For multi-layered soil deposit, the back-calculation would be very difficult due to the increase in the number of variables. In this study, to solve this difficulty, the back-calculation was performed successively from the lowest layer to the upper layers. An efficient elasto-plastic beam-column analysis was used for forward analysis to minimize the computation time of iterative back-calculation procedure. The coefficients of subgrade reaction and lateral earth pressure necessary for the formation of p-y curve were selected as back calculation variables, and to minimize the effect of abnormal behavior of the wall which might be caused by any unexpected action during construction, the difference between measured displacement increment and computed displacement increment at each construction stages is used as the objective function of optimization. The constrained sequential linear programming was used for the optimization technique to found values of variables minimizing the objective function. The proposed method in this study was verified using numerically generated data and measured field data.

During construction of the cable-stayed bridge, not only shape of deck and pylon but also cable forces are main factors for geometry control. Especially, geometry control of deck must be controlled for adjusting design value of vertical and lateral alignment as well as closing of key segment. Also, both the deck level error and cable force error occur necessarily during the construction stage in cable stayed bridge. The errors are caused by different of material properties and computer modeling, and construction mistake, and so on. These causes bring about that the forces of cable and the displacement of deck show different tendency from the theoretical values. Therefore, these errors must necessarily be adjusted and can be improved through adjustment of cable length. In this study, a new optimization tool is proposed to adjust the errors of the second Dolsan cable-stayed bridge.

This paper presents application of a differential search (DS) meta-heuristic optimization algorithm for optimal operation of a micro grid system. The DS algorithm simulates the Brownian-like random-walk movement used by an organism to migrate. The micro grid system consists of a wind turbine, a diesel generator, a fuel cell, and a photovoltaic system. The wind turbine generator is modeled by considering the characteristics of variable output. Optimization is aimed at minimizing the cost function of the system, including fuel costs and maximizing fuel efficiency to generate electric power. The simulation was applied to a micro grid system only. This study applies the DS algorithm with excellence and efficiency in terms of coding simplicity, fast convergence speed, and accuracy in the optimal operation of micro grids based on renewable energy resources, and we compared its optimum value to other algorithms to prove its superiority.

The aim of this paper is suggest how to control the real time reservoir operation for the optimal operation of reservoir during the draught and the rainy season. The realease and the storage lead to the achievement or the deviation losses, higher or lower than the target level. Considering this deviation as one of the losses, putting the penalty on the losses, the way of optimal reservoir operation is discussed in order to minimize the penalty losses. This study draw the deviation losses' curve depending on the operation objectie for the Daechung Dam, and apply the optimal operation to the Dam by the linear programing technique, using the slope of the deviation curve as the losses coefficience for the objective function. Conclusively, in this paper I can combine the opposing subjects -the release and the storage- as one objective function by the deviation curve, and also show how to decide the criterion relate to the real time reservoir operation by analysing to what extent and how easily the objectives can be achieved, subject to the inflows.

In this paper, the double balance mixer(DBM) for Ku-band LNB using InGaP/GaAs HBT process is suggested for the characteristics of low DC power consumption, low noise figure, low intermodulation distortion and wide dynamic range. The 5 dB conversion gain, 14 dB NF, bandwidth 17.9 GHz and 50.34 dBc IMD are obtained under RF input power of -23 dBm, with bias condition as 3 V and 16 mA. The linearity of InGaP/GaAs HBT, the broad band input matching scheme and the optimization of bias point result in the low IMD, the broad bandwidth and the low power consumption characteristics.

This paper proposes an efficient and accurate vision based recognition and tracking framework for texture free objects. We approached this problem with a two phased algorithm: detection phase and tracking phase. In the detection phase, the algorithm extracts shape context descriptors that used for classifying objects into predetermined interesting targets. Later on, the matching result is further refined by a minimization technique. In the tracking phase, we resorted to meanshift tracking algorithm based on Bhattacharyya coefficient measurement. In summary, the contributions of our methods for the underwater robot vision are four folds: 1) Our method can deal with camera motion and scale changes of objects in underwater environment; 2) It is inexpensive vision based recognition algorithm; 3) The advantage of shape based method compared to a distinct feature point based method (SIFT) in the underwater environment with possible turbidity variation; 4) We made a quantitative comparison of our method with a few other well-known methods. The result is quite promising for the map based underwater SLAM task which is the goal of our research.

In this paper, we describe the synthesis of robust and non-fragile $H^{\infty}$ state feedback controllers for linear systems with affine parameter uncertain tracking servo system of blu-ray disc drive, as well as static state feedback controller with polytopic uncertainty Similarity any other control system, the objective of the track-following system design for optical disc drives is to construct the system with better performance and robustness against modeling uncertainties and various disturbances. Also, the obtained condition can be rewritten as parameterized linear matrix inequalities(PLMIs), that is, LMIs whose coefficients are functions of a parameter confined to a compact set. We show that the resulting controller guarantees the asymptotic stability and disturbance attenuation of the closed loop system in spite of controller gain variations within a resulted polytopic region.

A sandwich element is a special Hybrid structural form of the composite construction, which is consisted of three main parts : thin, stiff and relatively high density faces separated by a thick, light, and weaker core material. In a sandwich construction, the shear deformation of the faces. Therefore, in the calculation of the bending stiffness, the shear effect should be included. In this paper, the minimum weight is selected as an object function, as the weight critical structures are usually composed of these kind of construction. To obtain the minimum weight of sandwich panel, the principle of minimum potential energy is used and as for the design constraints, the allowable bending stress of face material, the allowable shear stress of core material, the allowable value of panel deflection and the wrinkling stress of faces are adopted, as well as the different boundary conditions. For the engineering purpose of sandwich panel design, the results are tabulated, which are calculated by using the nonlinear optimization technique SUMT.
