The face shape extracted by the depth values has different appearance as the most important facial information. The face images decomposed into frequency subband are signified personal features in detail. In this paper, we develop a method for recognizing the range face images by multiple frequency domains for each depth image using the modified fuzzy c-mean algorithm. For the proposed approach, the first step tries to find the nose tip that has a protrusion shape on the face from the extracted face area. And the second step takes into consideration of the orientated frontal posture to normalize. Multiple contour line areas which have a different shape for each person are extracted by the depth threshold values from the reference point, nose tip. And then, the frequency component extracted from the wavelet subband can be adopted as feature information for the authentication problems. The third step of approach concerns the application of eigenface to reduce the dimension. And the linear discriminant analysis (LDA) method to improve the classification ability between the similar features is adapted. In the last step, the individual classifiers using the modified fuzzy c-mean method based on the K-NN to initialize the membership degree is explained for extracted coefficient at each resolution level. In the experimental results, using the depth threshold value 60 (DT60) showed the highest recognition rate among the extracted regions, and the proposed classification method achieved 98.3% recognition rate, incase of fuzzy cluster.

A compact representation of Green function is proposed by applying the discrete wavelet concept in the k-domain, which can be used for the acceleration of scattered field calculations in integral equation methods. Since the representation of Green function is very compact in the joint spatio-spectral domain, it can be effectively utilized in the fast computation of radiation integral of electromagnetic problems. A mathematical expression of Green function based on the discrete wavelet concept is derived and its characteristics are discussed.

This paper proposes a design method for improving the frequency-domain performance reliability of dynamic systems with uncertain and degrading components. Discrete frequencies are used in this method as surrogates for the frequency band of interest, and the conformance of the frequency responses to the specification at these frequencies is utilized to model the frequency-domain performance reliability. A meta-model for the frequency responses, an extreme-value event, and the set-theory are integrated to improve the computational efficiency of the reliability estimation. In addition, a sample-based approach is presented to evaluate and optimize the estimated performance reliability. A case study of a vibration absorber system showed that the proposed design method has engineering applications.

본 논문에서는 전기유동유체(Electro-Rheological Fluid : ERF)를 함유하는 지능구조물의 동적 모델링 및 진동제어를 수행하였다. 먼저 실리콘 오일을 기본용매로 하여 조성된 ERF의 복소 전단모듈러스를 전장부하와 가진 주파수의 함수로 동적 회전모드 실험을 통하여 도출한 후, 이를 샌드위치 보 이론과 연계하여 동적 모델링을 실시하였다. 도출된 6차 편미분방정식 형태의 지배 방정식을 유한요소 모델로 이산화하여 전장부하에 따른 지능구조물의 동탄성 특성값인 감쇠 고유 주파수 및 모달 손실계수를 주파수 영역에서 얻었다. 그리고 ERF를 함유한 샌드위치 형태의 지능구조물을 제작한 후 실험적으로 얻은 동탄성 특성값과 모델에 의해 예측된 동탄성 특성값을 비교 고찰하여 제시된 동적 모델에 대한 타당성을 입증하였다. 또한 모델을 통해 전장부하 함수로 예측된 주파수 응답곡선 중에서 각 주파수 대역에 대해 최소 변위가 되는 응답곡선을 요구응답으로 설정한 후, 그에 해당하는 전장부하를 선정하는 논리적인 능동 진동제어 알고리즘을 제안하였다. 제어알고리즘의 유용성을 입증하기 위해 실험적으로 수행된 능동 진동제어 결과를 주파수영역과 시간영역에서 제시하였다.

This study presents a probabilistic knowledge discovery method to interpret heart rate variability (HRV) based on time and frequency domain indexes, extracted using discrete wavelet transform. The knowledge induction algorithm was composed of two phases: rule generation and rule estimation. Firstly, a rule generation converts numerical attributes to intervals using ROC curve analysis and constructs a reduced ruleset by comparing consistency degree between attribute-value pairs with different decision values. Then, we estimated three measures such as rule support, confidence, and coverage to a probabilistic interpretation for each rule. To show the effectiveness of proposed model, we evaluated the statistical discriminant power of five rules (3 for atrial fibrillation, 1 for normal sinus rhythm, and 1 for both atrial fibrillation and normal sinus rhythm) generated using a data (n=58) collected from 1 channel wireless holter electrocardiogram (ECG), i.e., HeartCall$^{(R)}$, U-Heart Inc. The experimental result showed the performance of approximately 0.93 (93%) in terms of accuracy, sensitivity, specificity, and AUC measures, respectively.

The tonal signal caused by the machinery component of a vessel such as an engine, gearbox, and support elements, can be modeled as a sparse signal in the frequency domain. Recently, compressive sensing based techniques that recover an original signal using a small number of measurements in a short period of time, have been applied for the tonal frequency detection. These techniques, however, cannot avoid a basis mismatch error caused by the discretization of the frequency domain. In this paper, we propose a method to detect the tonal frequency with a small number of measurements in the continuous domain by using the atomic norm minimization technique. From the simulation results, we demonstrate that the proposed technique outperforms conventional methods in terms of the exact recovery ratio and mean square error.

Multilayered structures include lamination by relatively thick plies and thin interlayers. For efficient peridynamic analysis of dynamic fracturing multilayered structures, the interlayer is modeled using ghost peridynamic particles while the ply is formulated via real peridynamics. With the nonlocal ghost interlayer, one may keep the discretization resolution low for the ply. In this study, the characteristics of dynamic wave propagation through the nonlocal ghost interlayer in peridynamic analysis are investigated. It is observed that the interlayer not only binds adjacent plies, but also significantly influences energy transfer between plies, and thereby their deformation and motion. In addition, near a surface or boundary, peridynamic particles do not have a full nonlocal neighborhoods. This causes the effective material properties near the surface to be different from those in the bulk. Surface correction based on neighborhood volumes is employed. The impact of surface correction on wave propagation in multilayered structures is investigated.

Discrete topology optimization processes of structures start from an initial design domain which is described by the topology of constant material densities. During optimization procedures, the structural topology changes in order to satisfy optimization problems in the fixed design domain, and finally, the optimization produces material density distributions with optimal topology. An introduction of initial holes in a design domain presented by Eschenauer et at. has been utilized in order to improve the optimization convergence of boundary-based shape optimization methods by generating finite changes of design variables. This means that an optimal topology depends on an initial topology with respect to topology optimization problems. In this study, it is investigated that various optimal topologies can be yielded under constraints of usable material, when partial solid phases are deposited in an initial design domain and thus initial topology is finitely changed. As a numerical application, structural topology optimization of a simple MBB-Beam is carried out, applying partial circular solid phases with varying sizes to an initial design domain.

This paper proposes a digital image watermarking scheme, which is robust to geometrical attacks. The method improves image normalization-based watermarking (INW) technique that doesn't effectively deal with geometrical attacks with cropping. Image normalization is based on the moments of the image, however, in general, geometrical attacks bring the image boundary cropping and the moments are not preserved original ones. Thereafter the normalized images of before and after are not same form, i.e., the synchronization is lost. To solve the cropping problem of INW, Invariant Centroid (IC) is proposed in this paper. IC is a gravity center of a central area on a gray scale image that is invariant although an image is geometrically attacked and the only central area, which has less cropping possibility by geometrical attacks, is used for normalization. Experimental results show that the IC-based method is especially robust to geometrical attack with cropping.
