In exploration seismology, the Kirchhoff hyperbola has been successfully used to migrate reflection seismo-grams. The mathematical basis of Kirchhoff hyperbola has not been clearly defined and understood for the application of prestack or poststack migration. The travel time from the scatterer in the subsurface to the receivers (exploding reflector model) on the surface can be a kinematic approximation of Green's function when the source is excited at position of the scatterer. If we add the travel time from the source to the scatterer in the subsurface to the travel time of exploding reflector model, we can view this travel time as a kinematic approximation of the partial derivative wavefield with respect to the velocity or the density in the subsurface. The summation of reflection seismogram along the Kirchhoff hyperbola can be evaluated as an inner product between the partial derivative wavefield and the field reflection seismogram. In addition to this kinematic interpretation of Kirchhoff hyperbola, when we extend this concept to shallow refraction seismic data, the stacking of refraction data along the straight line can be interpreted as a measurement of an inner product between the first arrival waveform of the partial derivative wavefield and the field refraction data. We evaluated the Kirchhoff hyperbola and the straight line for stacking the refraction data in terms of the first arrival waveform of the partial derivative wavefield with respect to the velocity or the density in the subsurface. This evaluation provides a firm and solid basis for the conventional Kirchhoff migration and the straight line stacking of the refraction data.

In the construction of a TBM tunnel, it is very important to acquire accurate information of the excavated rock mass for an efficient and safe work. In this study, we developed the prediction system of TBM tunnel face ahead using probe drilling equipment and drilled hole imaging equipment to predict rock mass conditions of the tunnel face ahead. The prediction system consists of the probe drilling equipment, drilled hole imaging equipment and analysis software. The probe drilling equipment has been developed to be applicable to both non-coring and coring. Also the probe drilling equipment can obtain the drilling parameters such as feed pressure, torque pressure, rotation speed, drilling speed and so on. The drilling index is converted to the drilling index RMR through the correlation between a drilling index and core RMR. The developed system verification was carried out through a slope and tunnel field application. From the field application result, the non-coring is four times faster than a coring and the drilling index RMR and core RMR are similar in the distribution range. This system is expected to predict the rock mass conditions of the TBM tunnel face ahead very quickly and efficiently.

IT 기기와 서비스가 보편화되고 있는 시점에 사용자 인터페이스의 중요성은 날이 갈수록 중요해지고 있다. 사용자가 특정한 일을 하기 위해서는 반드시 인터페이스를 통해 시스템과 의사소통해야하며 인터페이스가 얼마나 편리하고 친근한가에 따라 작업의 효율성도 달라진다. 그러므로 인터페이스는 사용자와 시스템 간의 원활한 의사소통을 통해 정확한 업무 수행하기 위한 요소로 매우 중요하다. 이러한 분위기 속에서 다양한 IT 기기가 등장하면서 이에 따른 UI 트렌드도 변화하고 있다. 최근 UI 트렌드로는 대표적으로 Responsive UI(반응형 UI)를 비롯해 Metro UI, Tile Layout 등이 있다. 하지만 이러한 UI만으로는 소상공인들 위한 홍보 영상 제작 플랫폼(이하 Ad-it)에서 홍보 영상을 만들기 위한 미디어 리소스 수집하는 데에 어려움이 존재한다. 소상공인의 주요 연령대가 40~50대라는 점을 감안하여 사용자의 IT 기술 친숙도를 반영하지 않았기 때문이다. 이러한 문제점을 해결하고자 본 논문에서는 홍보 영상 리소스 수집을 위해 소상공인이 쉽게 따라올 수 있도록 단계별로 나누어진 Step UI 개념을 도입하여 홍보 영상 제작에 필요한 미디어 리소스를 수집을 위한 Step UI를 구현하였다.

최근 영상을 중심으로 여러 형태의 정보를 결합하여 저장하거나 전송하는 멀티미디어가 많은 관심을 받고 있다. 현재 카메라와 관련된 동영상 캡처기술은 Motion JPEG이 주류를 이루고 있으며, 텔레비전, DMB 등의 방송 분야 및 DVD, VCR 분야에서는 MPEG-2, MPEG-4, H.264 및 WMV9 등의 압축 코덱이 채용되고 사용되고 있다. 그러나 이러한 다양한 영상 표준방식은 디코딩시 호환성 문제가 발생하게 되고 이에 따라 통합 코덱 연구가 필요하다. 이에 본 논문은 일반적 스텝 양자화외에 데드존 양자화를 사용하고 "$4{\times}4$", "$4{\times}8$", "$8{\times}4$", "$8{\times}8$"의 다양한 블록크기의 변환을 지원하는 VC-1을 기반으로 한 ITIQ C언어를 통해 시뮬레이션하고 최적화된 결과를 VHDL로 구현하여 향후 통합코덱 연구에 응용 가능하도록 연구 및 분석평가 하였다. 설계결과 4:2:0의 YCbCr포맷의 최초 $16{\times}16$블록을 복원하는데 483~510클록이 소요되었고 Xilinx XCVPC100 FF1696-6 환경에서 93,128개의 게이트 수와 71.469MHz의 동작속도를 나타내었다. 이는 640*480 크기의 컬러영상을 디코딩 하는데 프레임 당 최대 0.0074초가 소요됨을 의미하며 초당 30프레임의 영상에서도 0.222초면 디코딩이 가능한 결과이다.

When JPEG, a standard of stopped image compression, is high compressed, the image is severely blocked. Since JPEG performs compression after taking DCT(Discrete Cosine Transform). It has a defect that the quality of image becomes low with aliasing in the case of high compression. Though transformation cipher method can have high compression rate, flame nay happen to quality of image by transformation and reverse transformation. In this paper, we use wavelet transform and fractal theory in order to solve these problems. After we apply these two methods to stopped image, we can get some good results, improvement of speed and compression rate, and elimination of blocking appearance. Besides, we show quality of restoration image is better than established one.

The final goal of the seismic method is to verify the spatial characteristic of subsurface media. For this purpose, professional interpreters interprete the discontinuities of seismic events from seismic image. This paper introduces a method for automatic discontinuity extraction from 3D seismic image. The method consists of three steps. The first step is for estimating coherency of seismic events from seismic data. The second step is to express the potential region where discontinuities may exist in the form of binary image. The third step is to locate the discontinuities by thining the region found in the second step.

최근 기후변화로 인해 중국, 한국, 일본, 몽골 등을 포함한 동아시아 지역은 태풍, 가뭄, 홍수와 같은 자연재해의 발생 빈도가 증가하고 있는 추세이다. 중국의 경우 2017년 극심한 가뭄으로 1,850만 (ha)의 농작물 피해가 발생하였으며, 몽골 또한 2017년 4월 이후 극심한 가뭄으로 사막화가 급속도로 진행되고 있다. 위성 기반의 강우 자료는 공간과 시간 해상도가 높아짐에 따라 지상관측소 강수량 자료의 대체 수단으로 이용되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 Climate Hazards Groups InfraRed Precipitation with Station (CHIRPS), Precipitation Estimation From Remotely Sensed Information Using Artificial Neural Networks-Climate Data Record (PERSIANN-CDR), Global Precipitation Climatology Centre (GPCC) 강우 위성 자료를 활용하여 기상학적 가뭄지수인 표준강수지수 (Standardized Precipitation Index, SPI)를 산정하였다. 시간 해상도는 월별 영상을 기준으로 2008년부터 2017년까지 지난 10년간의 데이터를 이용하였으며, 각각 격자가 다른 위성영상을 기존 기상관측소와 비교하였다. 피어슨 상관계수 (Pearson Correlation Coefficient, R)를 활용하여 강우 위성 영상과 지상관측소의 상관관계를 분석하고, 평균절대오차 (Mean Absolute Error, MAE), 평균제곱근오차 (Root Mean Square Error, RMSE)를 통해 통계적으로 정확도를 분석하였다. 인공위성 강수량 자료는 미계측 지역이 많은 곳이나 측정이 불가능한 지역에 효율성 측면에서 중요한 이점을 제공할 것으로 판단된다.

Animation works have been peformed by the objective sensitivity and experience so far. Software designs have been also manufactured based on intelligent data because they are easy to objectify and digitalize. In contrast, there are many elements, which human senses are hard to objectify and digitalize. This study investigates how to digitalize and objectify human senses and how to use them as the quantitative data and its subject is a flying path. In the experiment, this study collects some sensitive words for how human beings express the living path. The evaluation words for sensitivity through the collected sensitive words are extracted and the sketch images for the flying path are collected from the extracted evaluation words for sensitivity. Based on the collected sketch images, the samples of real moving image, which are the core of this study, are manufactured. Then, quantification theory III and I are used in order to analyze the correlation between the sensitive words representing the flying path and the samples of moving image. As a result, this study can figure out the structure of sensitive words and the samples of moving image and analyze the physical stimulating elements for the flying path. The flying path corresponds to the path that the object has passed. Some unique sensitive words are expressed by means of interacting some sensitive stimulating elements after looking at such a path. There are some elements that stimulate the senses and they include the physical elements such as speed, rotation, pattern and length of arc. The purpose of this study is to objectify and quantify the animation works that are created by animators' subjective thought and experience and to use them in animation works in the future.

Magnetic resonance angiography (MRA) techniques are widely used in diagnosis of vascular disorders such as hemadostenosis and aneurism. Especially, phase contrast (PC) MRA technique, which is a typical non contrast-enhanced MRA technique, provides not only the anatomy of blood vessels but also flow velocity. In this study, we developed the 2- and 3-dimensional PC MRA pulse sequences for a low magnetic field MRI system. Vessel images were acquired using 2D and 3D PC MRA and the velocities of the blood flow were measured in the superior sagittal sinus, straight sinus and the confluence of the two. The 2D PC MRA provided the good quality of vascular images for large vessels but the poor quality for small ones. Although 3D PC MRA gave more improved visualization of small vessels than 2D PC MRA, the image quality was not enough to be used for diagnosis of the small vessels due to the low SNR and field homogeneity of the low field MRI system. The measured blood velocities were $25.46{\pm}0.73cm/sec$, $24.02{\pm}0.34cm/sec$ and $26.15{\pm}1.50cm/sec$ in the superior sagittal sinus, straight sinus and the confluence of the two, respectively, which showed good agreement with the previous experimental values. Thus, the developed PC MRA technique for low field MRI system is expected to provide the useful velocity information to diagnose the large brain vessels.
