The recent crises of Marxism do not mean Marx’s crisis. Marx said that he was not a Marxist. The purposes of this essay explore (1) the modern identity of the political economy; (2) the possibilities of mutual understanding between neoclassical economics and Marxist economics; (3) problems of the political economy in media and communication industry. I have begged for analytical Marxists, because of their good fruits. They accepted the methods of modern social science and they constituted a tremendous advance in the application of the scientific methods to the study of society. In insisting on micro-foundations(methodological individualism), analytical Marxism distinguished itself from structuralism and functionalism. I appreciate that analytical Marxism has reduced a theory to practice. But the works didn’t listen to everyone(from Marxists to un-Marxists), and explain everything. Making theory with production/consumption, macro/micro, and structure/behavior is a road to the political economy in the long run. It also applies to media and communication industry. The realm of media/communication is broad, which in philosophy, humanities, politics, economics, sociology, and engineering. And media policy is more complicated by politicians who look at the same situation from different angles. By the aid of interdisciplinary research, the political economy of media/communication shall explain at full length.

인간-컴퓨터 상호작용(HCI) 기술은 과거 컴퓨터란 어렵고 소수의 숙련자만이 다루는 것이라는 인식을 바꾸어 놓았다. HCI 는 컴퓨터 사용자인 인간에게 거부감 없이 수용되기 위해 인간과 컴퓨터가 조화를 이루는데 많은 성과를 거두어왔다. 컴퓨터 비전에 기반을 두고 인간과 컴퓨터의 상호작용을 위하여 사용자 의도 및 행위 인식 연구들이 많이 행해져 왔다. 특히 손을 이용한 제스처는 인간과 인간, 인간과 컴퓨터 그리고 최근에 각광받고 있는 인간과 로봇의 상호작용에 중요한 역할을 해오고 있다. 본 논문에서 제안하는 손 추출 및 추적 알고리즘은 비전에 기반한 호출자 인식과 손 추적 알고리즘을 병행한 자연스러운 손 추출 및 추적 알고리즘이다. 인간과 인간 사이의 상호간의 주의집중 방식인 호출 제스처를 인식하여 기반하여 사용자가 인간과 의사소통 하는 것과 마찬가지로 컴퓨터/로봇의 주의집중을 끌도록 하였다. 또한 호출 제스처에 의해서 추출된 손동작을 추적하는 알고리즘을 개발하였다. 호출 제스처는 카메라 앞에 존재할 때 컴퓨터/로봇의 사용자가 자신에게 주의를 끌 수 있는 자연스러운 행동이다. 호출 제스처 인식을 통해 복수의 사람이 존재하는 상황 하에서 또한 원거리에서도 사용자는 자신의 의사를 전달하고자 함을 컴퓨터/로봇에게 알릴 수 있다. 호출 제스처를 이용한 손 추출 방식은 자연스러운 손 추출을 할 수 있도록 한다. 현재까지 알려진 손 추출 방식은 피부색을 이용하고 일정 범위 안에 손이 존재한다는 가정하에 이루어져왔다. 이는 사용자가 제스처를 하기 위해서는 특정 자세로 고정되어 있어야 함을 의미한다. 그러나 호출 제스처를 통해 손을 추출하게 될 경우 서거나 앉거나 심지어 누워있는 상태 등 자연스러운 자세에서 손을 추출할 수 있게 되어 사용자의 불편함을 해소 할 수 있다. 손 추적 알고리즘은 자연스러운 상황에서 획득된 손의 위치 정보를 추적하도록 고안되었다. 제안한 알고리즘은 색깔정보와 모션 정보를 융합하여 손의 위치를 검출한다. 손의 피부색 정보는 신경망으로 다양한 피부색 그룹과 피부색이 아닌 그룹을 학습시켜 얻었다. 손의 모션 정보는 연속 영상에서 프레임간에 일정 수준 이상의 차이를 보이는 영역을 추출하였다. 피부색정보와 모션정보로 융합된 영상에서 블랍 분석을 하고 이를 민쉬프트로 추적하여 손을 추적하였다. 제안된 손 추출 및 추적 방법은 컴퓨터/로봇의 사용자가 인간과 마주하듯 컴퓨터/로봇의 서비스를 받을 수 있도록 하는데 주목적을 두고 있다.

This paper describes the structural strength test technique and the results for cylindrical supersonic vehicle subjected to both aerodynamic load and thermal load. The special positioning system using spring links was designed to float, support and restrain the test airframe during the test and the down-time. The hydraulic system and the electric heating system were utilized to apply the aerodynamic load and the thermal load to the test airframe together. Particularly, several hundreds of infrared quartz lamps were used for the heating system, and the thermal test conditions were successfully simulated. The test results showed that this kind of high temperature test is adequate to verify the structure integrity and produce useful engineering data which is necessary for the possible structural modification under thermal environments.

Conventionally, in order to get accurate geolocation of satellite images we need a set of ground control points with respect to individual scenes. In this paper, we tested the possibilities of modeling satellite orbits from individual scenes by establishing a sensor model for one scene and by applying the model, which was derived from the same orbital segment, to other scenes that has been acquired from the same orbital segment. We investigated orbit-attitude models with several interpolation methods and with various parameter sets to be adjusted. We used 7 satellite images of SPOT-3 with a length of 420km and ground control points acquired from GPS surveying. Results of the conventional individual scene modeling hardly introduced differences among different interpolation methods and different adjustment parameter sets. As the results of orbit modeling, the best model was the one with Lagrange interpolation for position/velocity and linear interpolation for attitude and with position/angle bias as parameter sets. The best model showed that it is possible to model orbital segments of 420km with ground control points measured within one scene (60km).

In recent years, In recent years, research on geo-tagged image contents has defined a view frustum based on filming location and direction data and has studied indexes and various query search techniques for efficient search. The existing view frustum model has a limit of using the static visible distance and provides a simple service that displays the huge image contents on the digital map. We show a method to acquire filming location and attitude data and propose a view frustum model that can change the visible distance using geospatial object data. In addition, we describe the augmented reality service that combines the image matching technique so that it can be mapped in the scene where the image contents are captured.

This paper presents a fuel quantity measurement system (FQMS) for an aircraft supplementary fuel tank considering the change of aircraft attitude. The developed FQMS consists of fuel sensors, a signal process unit, an indicator and a software to estimate the fuel quantity from the sensor data. To replicate the change of the roll and pitch attitude on the ground, the test simulator is developed in this work. Using the test simulator, the sensor data at various fuel quantities, roll and pitch angles are automatically measured to build a training data set. The data-driven software to estimate the fuel quantity is then developed using a trilinear interpolation method with the training data set. The developed FQMS is verified by investigating the fuel estimation error of the test data set that we know the true values. Through the test, it is confirmed that the error of the developed FQMS system satisfies the criteria of TSO-C55 document.

In this study, we consider a dynamic positioning system (DPS) design problem that can be extended to many application fields. Toward this end, tracking and positioning control problems are discussed. In particular, we design a tracking control system that incorporates an observer based on the 2-DOF servo system design approach in order to obtain the desired state information. In the case of observer design, a weighted $H_{\infty}$ error bound approach for a state estimator is considered. Based on an algebraic Riccati equation (inequality) approach, a necessary and sufficient condition for the existence of a full-order estimator that satisfies the weighted $H_{\infty}$ error bound is introduced. The condition for the existence of the estimator is denoted by a linear matrix inequality (LMI) that yields an optimized solution and the observer gain.

This paper proposes a method for classifying targets robust to geometric transformations of targets such as rotation, scale change, translation, and pose change. Targets which have rotation, scale change, and shift is firstly classified based on CM(Confidence Map) which is generated by similarity, scale ratio, and range of orientation for SIFT(Scale-Invariant Feature Transform) feature vectors. On the other hand, DB(DataBase) which is acquired in various angles is used to deal with pose variation of targets. Range of the angle is determined by comparing and analyzing the execution time and performance for sampling intervals. We experiment on various images which is geometrically changed to evaluate performance of proposed target classification method. Experimental results show that the proposed algorithm has a good classification performance.

The flight control system utilize RSS(Relaxed Static Stability) criteria in both longitudinal axes to achieve performance enhancements and improve stability. The aircraft using digital flight-by-wire flight control system receives aircraft flight conditions such as pitch, roll and yaw rate, normal acceleration from RSA(Rate Sensor Assembly) and ASA(Acceleration Sensor Assembly). These sensors has permissible measurement error related to system safety of an aircraft but, unexpected flight motions are happened by sensing errors such as offset, noise and etc. The unexpected pitch down tendency occurred by ASA sensor bias in 1g level flight with pilot hands-off. This paper addresses the design and verification of flight control law to improve of pitch down or up tendency caused by ASA sensor bias. The result of analysis and flight test reveals that pitch down tendency can be improved by pitch attitude feedback system.

As intuitive hardware interfaces continue to be developed, it has become more important to recognize the posture of the user. An efficient alternative to adding expensive sensors is to implement computer vision systems. This paper proposes a method to recognize a user's postured in a live broadcast bi-directional participatory TV program. The proposed method first estimates the position of the user's hands by generation a facial color map for the user and a motion map. The posture is then recognized by computing the relative position of the face and the hands. This method exhibited 90% accuracy in an experiment to recognize three defined postures during the live broadcast bi-directional participatory TV program, even when the input images contained a complex background.
