온실가스 다량 배출로 인한 지구온난화 현상은 많은 분야에서의 변화를 요구하고 있다. 특히 온실가스 배출의 주원인으로 꼽히고 있는 발전 등 에너지산업 분야의 경우 그 요구는 매우 거세다. 과거에는 경제성장이라는 측면만 고려하면 됐지만, 지금은 기후변화 대응을 위해 환경을 최우선적으로 고려할 것을 주문하고 있기 때문이다. 문제는 현재 전 세계적으로 약 20%에 이르는 인구가 전기 에너지를 사용하지 못하고 있다는 점이다. 즉 향후 에너지를 사용하고자 하는 신규 소비자는 더욱 늘 것이고, 산업의 발전으로 인한 에너지 소비 역시 큰 폭으로 증가할 수밖에 없다. 문제가 굉장히 어렵지만 해결책도 분명 존재한다. 결론적으로 말해 온실가스 배출을 최소화하면서도 에너지 효율은 높인 기술을 개발하면 되는 것이다. 그리고 이미 세계 각국은 청정에너지 기술개발을 위해 다각도의 노력을 펼치고 있는 상황이다. 그렇다면 세계 각국은 미래 에너지시장을 선도할 청정에너지 기술로 어떤 것을 꼽고 있을까. 이 질문에 대한 대답은 지난 5월 서울에서 개최된 '제5차 클린에너지장관회의(CEM, Clean Energy Ministerial)'에서 제시된 바 있다. CEM은 한국, 미국, 영국, 독일, 중국, 일본 등 세계 에너지의 70%를 사용하는 주요 국가의 관계 장관들이 모여 클린에너지 공급 확대와 에너지효율 향상을 위한 구체적 액션플랜을 논의하는 자리다. 2010년 미국에서 첫 회의가 열렸고 아랍에미리트, 영국, 인도에 이어 한국은 5번째로 CEM을 개최했다. 특히 이번 CEM에서는 회원국들의 의견을 모아 10대 청정에너지 혁신기술을 최초로 선정, 발표했다. CEM은 "향후 10년 간 에너지 시장의 변화를 선도할 유망 기술을 선정한 것으로 IEA 등 국제기구와 주요국 기술 로드맵을 기준으로 해 23개 회원국 회람을 거쳐 최종 확정하게 됐다"고 배경을 설명했다. 이번에 선정된 10대 청정에너지 혁신기술은 ${\triangle}$초고압직류송전 ${\triangle}$에너지저장장치 ${\triangle}$바이오연료 ${\triangle}$마이크로 그리드 ${\triangle}$탄소포집 및 저장 ${\triangle}$초고효율 태양광 발전 ${\triangle}$해상풍력 ${\triangle}$신재생에너지 하이브리드시스템 ${\triangle}$빅데이터 에너지관리시스템 ${\triangle}$지열 시스템이다. 이와 관련해 산업통상자원부 윤상직 장관은 "이번에 선정된 10개의 기술은 최근의 기술적 정책적 추세가 잘 반영된 결과"라고 평가했다. 특히 윤 장관은 "중앙집중형 공급원에서 분산형 전원으로의 변화, 에너지 효율향상의 중요성, ICT와 융 복합 추세 등 우리나라의 상황에서 시사하는 바가 크다"며 "현재 수립하고 있는 '제3차 국가에너지기술 개발계획'에 이러한 기술적 추세를 반영하겠다"는 의사를 표명했다. 향후 10년 간 에너지시장의 변화를 선도할 10대 청정에너지 유망기술을 자세히 소개한다.

There are a number of policies that have been established to reduce greenhouse gases emissions and reduce energy consumption. These polices, however, only reflect the building energy consumption saving rate without considering building energy consumption characteristic. If building that already use less energy apply the same saving rate to reduce energy consumption, it is less effective. Therefore, this study classified building energy consumption characteristics and investigated approaches to adopt individual reduction rates according to energy consumption. Analysis results showed that there are differences in energy consumption depending on building use, and therefore, we classified buildings by use. We also proposed a formula to set a reduction goal for rate of energy consumption according to energy consumption. We verified our approach in a top-end neighborhood facility in Seoul. The energy consumption savings goal of this study can be applied individually, but determining whether a building can reduce energy consumption towards a saving goal requires a closer look at each building.

The belief propagation method that has been studied recently yields good performance in disparity extraction. The method in which a target function is modeled as an energy function based on Markov random field(MRF), solves the stereo matching problem by finding the disparity to minimize the energy function. MRF models provide robust and unified framework for vision problem such as stereo and image restoration. the belief propagation method produces quite correct results, but it has difficulty in real time implementation because of higher computational complexity than other stereo methods. To relieve this problem, in this paper, we propose a fast algorithm of the belief propagation method. Energy function consists of a data term and a smoothness tern. The data term usually corresponds to the difference in brightness between correspondences, and smoothness term indicates the continuity of adjacent pixels. Smoothness information is created from messages, which are assigned using four different message arrays for the pixel positions adjacent in four directions. The processing time for four message arrays dominates 80 percent of the whole program execution time. In the proposed method, we propose an algorithm that dramatically reduces the processing time require in message calculation, since the message.; are not produced in four arrays but in a single array. Tn the last step of disparity extraction process, the messages are called in the single integrated array and this algorithm requires 1/4 computational complexity of the conventional method. Our method is evaluated by comparing the disparity error rates of our method and the conventional method. Experimental results show that the proposed method remarkably reduces the execution time while it rarely increases disparity error.

The Korean government proposed the K-SDGs in 2019 to promote the UN SDGs, but the role and tasks of science and technology, an important means of implementing the SDGs, have not been materialized. Accordingly, the role of science and technology ODA for the SDGs was established through the Ministry of Science and ICT's policy research project 'Science and Technology ODA Promotion Roadmap for Spreading the New Southern Policy and Realizing the 2030 SDGs'. In addition, goals, strategies, and core tasks for the next 10 years were derived in 10 fields such as water, climate change, energy, and ICT. In this paper, we analyze 30 key tasks of the ODA promotion roadmap for science and technology for the realization of SDGs, and propose mid- and short-term tasks and implementation plans for effective roadmap promotion. Among the key tasks in each field, four common elements were derived: ICT/smartization, a global problem-solving center, cooperation/communication platform, and business model/startup support platform/living lab that can create and integrate roadmap implementation conditions. In addition, the four mid- and short-term tasks, 1) Establishment of science and technology ODA network, 2) Establishment of living lab business platform linked to start-up support business, 3) Local smartization of recipient countries, and 4) Expand and secure sustainability of global problem-solving centers, were set in relation to the implementation of the detailed roadmap. For the derived mid- and short-term tasks, detailed implementation plans based on the ICTization of global problem-solving centers were presented. The implementation of the mid- and short-term tasks presented in this paper can contribute to the more effective achievement of the science and technology ODA roadmap, and it is expected that Korea's implementation of SDGs will also achieve high performance.

본 논문에서는 새로운 척도에 기반한 다노출 영상 융합 방법을 제안한다. 제안하는 방법에서는 각 노출정도에 따른 픽셀값의 그래프가 컨벡스 형태를 갖는다는 성질과 대조 값의 차이를 고려한 MRF (Markov Random Field) 기반의 에너지 함수를 설계하고 그 에너지 함수를 그래프컷 (Graph cut) 으로 풀어 각 노출치 영상에 대한 가중치 맵 (weight map)을 형성한다. 그리고 가중치 맵을 곱한 각 영상을 더함으로써 융합된 영상을 얻는다. 제안한 컨벡스 성질을 기반으로 한 척도는 특정 컬러 성분이 다른 컬러 성분보다 먼저 과노출 상태에 도달 한 경우의 영역을 가중치 계산에서 제외할 수 있기 때문에 기존의 가중치 기반의 방법보다 정확한 가중치 맵을 형성할 수 있게 한다. 실험 결과 제안하는 방법은 기존의 다노출 영상 융합에 비해 보다 넓은 영역에서 원 영상의 정보를 더 잘 표현하는 것을 확인하였다.

The classical snake algorithm has a problem in detecting the boundary of an object with deep concavities. While the GVF method can successfully detect boundary concavities, it consumes a lot of time computing the energy map. In this paper, we propose an algorithm to reduce the computation time and improve performance in detecting the boundary of an object with high concavity. We define the degree of complexity of object boundary as the local curvature. If the value of the local curvature is greater than a threshold value, new snake points are added. Simulation results on several different test images show that our method performs well in detecting object boundary and requires less computation time.

This study is to establish a national vision of the hydrogen economy and design a roadmap to materialize it. A goal is set to supply 15% of final energy consumption with hydrogen energy in Korea by 2040. Selecting the transportation sorter as the main target, more than 50% of vehicles on the road will be replaced with fuel cell vehicles (FCVs) while $20{\sim}30%$ of electricity demand in the residential and commercial sectors might be replaced with power generation by fuel cells. If this goals were attained as planned, primary energy demand would be reduced by 9%, resulting in improved energy mix in which fossil fuel consumption is greatly reduced whereas renewable energy increases by 47%. Furthermore, GHG emissions will be reduced by 20% and self-sufficiency in energy is enhanced up to 23%. If the hydrogen economy is to materialize, the government needs to implement institutional arrangements such as new legislations, organizations, and fiscal measures to facilitate the process. In addition, the private sector's participation is highly recommended to mobilize fund needed for the huge investment to build an infrastructure in preparation for the hydrogen economy. Arrangements for codes and standards are also required to promote industrialization of fuel cells and hydrogen production and consumption.

Engineers must be aware of possible sources of chaotic behavior. They may render conventional design predictions untrustworthy and potentially unsafe because of the sensitivity to initial conditions. Dynamic responses of a spherical shell subjected to impulsive loading which act on the center are analyzed using the finite element method. The chaotic responses are identified by the standard methods, such as displacement-time histories, Poincare maps, and phase diagrams. The responses are chaotic, but, not so sensitive to the initial conditions, and the characteristics of responses are not changed with time, in contrast to the case of the responses of beam. The Poincare points scattered in the limited area represent that the responses are chaotic, but do not show the geometric structures. The snap-through phenomena of the shell to the side of the direction of the load or of the opposite direction, is analysed by using the energy diagram.

본 논문에서는 단일 채널 디지털 오디오 신호에서 스펙트로그램과 영상 처리 기법을 이용하여 크래클 잡음을 검출하는 알고리즘을 제안한다. 오디오 신호의 주파수 특성을 효율적으로 분석하기 위해 스펙트로그램을 특정 컬러맵을 이용하여 컬러 영상으로 변환한 후 영상 처리 기법을 적용하여 크래클 잡음이 존재하는 구간을 검출하여 디지털 오디오 복원에 이용한다. 특히 고전영화에 나타나는 크래클 잡음은 에너지와 신호 길이가 음성이나 음악 신호와 유사하여 기존의 스펙트럴 음성 검출 기법으로는 검출에 어려움이 있다. 이에 비해 스펙트로그램 영상에서는 크래클 잡음이 다른 신호들과 구분되는 특성을 나타내므로 영상 처리 기법을 적용하여 경계 검출과 Hough 변환에 의한 선 검출을 이용하여 크래클 잡음을 검출한다. 제안된 알고리즘은 고전 영화 디지털 오디오 복원에 적용하였으며 크래클 잡음 검출에 우수한 성능을 보여준다.
