입력신호인 도로표면의 화상 데이터는 낮 시간대의 아스팔트 포장 도로면을 촬영하여 도로표면 상태의 화상을 만들었고, 편광 및 웨이블릿 변화(Wavelet transform)으로 도로 표면을 5가지의 상태(건조, 습윤, 수막, 적설, 동결)로 인식할 수 있는 분류기준절차를 연구하였다. 표면 화상 인식 과정은 편광계수에 의한 젖은 땅으로 분류한 후, 다음으로 젖은 땅을 제외한 나머지는 웨이블릿 패킷 변환을 통해 시간-주파수 분석을 하였다. 또한 영상 템플릿을 이용하여 마른 땅과 빙판의 표준적인 주파수 특성을 분석하여, 마른 땅과 빙판을 구분하였다. 도로표면영상에서 마른 부분과 젖은 부분을 구분한 결과를 정리하였다.

Silicone tetrachloride (SiCl₄) leak accidents cause enormous human and environmental damage because it is highly toxic. Some handling facilities use water curtains to reduce the impact range of SiCl₄. Although the water curtain is known as one of the most efficient technologies for post-release mitigation, its effect on reducing SiCl₄ concentration needs to be investigated scientifically and quantitatively. In this study, three-dimensional computational fluid dynamics (CFD) was used to investigate the physical and chemical effects of water curtains as a release-mitigation system for SiCl₄. SiCl₄ is released and dispersed five seconds prior to the operation of the water curtain. Once the water curtain works, the SiCl₄ reacts chemically with the water and its concentration decreases rapidly; it reaches an emergency response planning guidelines level 2 (ERPG-2) of 5 parts per million (ppm) at about 570 m. We observed, however, that the physical effect of water curtains on reducing SiCl₄ concentration is insignificant when the chemical effect is eliminated. These results are crucial since they can be a scientific and quantitative basis for the 'technical guidelines for estimating the accident affected range'. In order to protect the public from chemical accidents, more toxic gas mitigation technologies need to be developed.

The fire on a high-rise building would possibly cause fatalities because of ineffective egress due to extended evacuation distance in huge building structure, coupled with dense population, thus requiring secured optimal evacuation method and space. The restroom located in the living space is considered to be useful refuge space which is built with wet pipe and noncombustible materials. This study aimed to develop a system that would make use of the existing restroom as a fire refuge space. Ventilation duct were installed to discharge odor during normal conditions. We could serve the air supply duct to also raise the air pressure in the restroom so as to prevent the toxic gas from gapping around the restroom. The nozzle for the water screen would be installed in restroom door facing the living room to form the water screen which would protect the door. This study is intended to replace the existing refuge space with the restroom in such a way as described above.

Adequate relative humidity is needed in the common living space, for human health, and industrial space, for maintenance and efficiency. Evaporative humidifier systems generally have slow response tendencies of air loads, but relatively low initial investment and maintenance costs. Humidification efficiency in the evaporative humidifier is dependent mostly on the shapes and arrays of humidifying modules. So, we tried to apply the computational fluid dynamics to the evaporative humidifier systems, and studied the humidification efficiency of evaporative humidifiers, through the outlet air conditions.

This study focus on segmentation process that classifies road surfaces into 5 different categories, dry, wet water, icy, and snowy surfaces by analyzing asphalt-paved road images taken in daylight. By using the polarization coefficients, the proportions of horizontally polarized components to vertically polarized components, regions with over 1.3 polarization coefficients are classified as wet surfaces. Except for wet surfaces, the decision process a lies time-frequency analysis to other parts by using the third order wavelet packet transform. In addition, by using the average frequency characteristics of dry and icy surfaces from image templates, decide which is closer to a test image, and finally identify dry and icy surfaces. It is confirmed that the reposed estimation and segmentation of recognition on various images. This can be interpreted as an indication that image-only mad surface condition supervision is probable.
