In this paper. a new Fast Expectation-Maximization algorithm(FEM) is proposed. Firstly the K-means algorithm is modified to reduce the number of iterations for finding the initial values that are used as the initial values in EM process. Conventionally the Initial values in K-means clustering are chosen randomly. which sometimes forces the process of clustering converge to some undesired center points. Uniform partitioning method is added to the conventional K-means to extract the proper initial points for each clusters. Secondly the effect of posterior probability is emphasized such that the application of Maximum Likelihood Posterior(MLP) yields fast convergence. The proposed FEM strengthens the characteristics of conventional EM by reinforcing the speed of convergence. The superiority of FEM is demonstrated in experimental results by presenting the improvement results of EM and accelerating the speed of convergence in parameter estimation procedures.

Fingerprint segmentation and ridge orientation estimation algorithms with images from a mobile camera are proposed. The fingerprint images from a mobile camera are quite different from those from conventional sensor, called touch based sensor such as optical, capacitive, and thermal. For example, the images from a mobile camera are colored and the backgrounds or non-finger regions are very erratic depending on how the image capture time and place. Also the contrast between ridge and valley of a mobile camera image are lower than that of touch based sensor image. To segment fingerprint region, we first detect the initial region using color information and texture information. The LUT (Look Up Table) is used to model the color distribution of fingerprint images using manually segmented images and frequency information is extracted to discriminate between in focused fingerprint regions and out of focused background regions. With the detected initial region, the region growing algerian is executed to segment final fingerprint region. In fingerprint orientation estimation, the problem of gradient based method is very sensitive to outlier that occurred by scar and camera noise. To solve this problem, we propose a robust regression method that removes the outlier iteratively and effectively. In the experiments, we evaluated the result of the proposed fingerprint segmentation algerian using 600 manually segmented images and compared the orientation algorithms in terms of recognition accuracy.

The purpose of this study is to find out the changing trajectory of online game use as the development of early adolescences. It is also to explore whether the self-control has a current and a lag effect on the game use while development of students. We found these results: (a) There is a statically significant individual variability in initial levels and rates of change in online game use over time. The change of trajectory is declined. (b) Boys also have higher rate of the change in using game than girls over time. (c) Both initial state and changing rate of online game use affects negatively the academic achievement. (d) Current effect always supports, but lag effect does not support except the period from last elementary school grade to middle school grade as explanations for the developmental relation between self-control and online game use in young adolescents.

발전소의 제어 시스템은 제어 기간이 길어짐에 따라 제어 기기의 운전 특성이 변화하므로 최초 설계 및 운전때의 성능과는 다른 제어 특성을 나타낸다. 따라서 주기적으로 제어 성능을 평가하고 평가 결과에 따라서 제어 기기의 성능 개선 작업과 제어 시스템의 제어기 상수 최적화 등의 작업을 통하여 제어 성능을 최적으로 유지하여 제어 목적을 달성하도록 하여야한다. 제어성능 평가기법은 제어 목표 값에 대한 추종성을 평가하는 Set Print Analysis 방법을 주로 사용한다. 평가 지표는 Integral Absolute Error(IAE)와 같은 Error Integral 값과 Minimum Variance방법이 실용적으로 사용된다. 본 논문에서는 Non-Minimum Phase 특성으로 인하여 초기 운전 모드에서 정상 운전 모듈로의 원활한 전환이 어려운 수위 제어 시스템에서 제어 전환을 위한 최적 제어기 상수를 구하기 위하여 CPA 방법을 적용하였다. 일반적으로 제어성 평가는 설정치 변화에 대한 추종성을 평가하지만 본 논문에서는 제어 전환 시의 제어성 평가를 통하여 최적의 제어 전환 상수를 구하고자 하였다. 적용 결과, CPA기법은 설정시 추종성뿐만 아니라 제어 과도에서의 제어 전환 변수의 주종성에 적용하여 제어 전환을 최적화하는데도 유용함을 확인하였다.

The adjoint method is a method of data assimilation to improve the model results by seeking for model parameters that minimize the cost function and satisfy the governing equations of a model simultaneously. An adjoint package was set up for the two-dimensional linear tidal model and was applied to an idealized domain for an optimal estimation of the open boundary conditions. The assimilating data were selected from the results of forward modeling. Attention is paid on the response of the adjoint package to weighting parameters, the importance of initial estimates of model parameters and the applicability of the adjoint package to the case with varying depth. A procedure to determine optimal weight is presented based on the relationships between weights and other factors.

In this paper, we propose a geometric active contour model based on intensity information and curve evolution for detecting region boundaries. We put boundary extraction problem as the minimization of the difference between the average intensity of the region and the intensity of the expanding closed curves. We used level set theory to implement the curve evolution for optimal solution. It offered much more freedom in the initial curve position than a general active contour model. Our methods could detect regions whose boundaries are not necessarily defiened by gradient compared to general edge based methods and detect multiple boundaries at the same time. We could improve the result by using anisotropic diffusion filter in image preprocessing. The performance of our model was demonstrated on several data sets like CT and MRI medical images.

This paper presents the development of a stock control system of POP system design based on RFID in SCM and its economic efficiency. A stock control system is proposed for 900MHz passive type RFID system. The RFID system is composed of a RFID reader and four antennas to read the tag IDs. A cost estimation model is adapted based on the total product profit by various tag prices. The result of the economic efficiency analysis can indicate any invested model for the automation system which have initial investment should be used. This solution indicates the limit of the break even point according to the input. And it can be concluded that the stock control can be developed by RFID readers and passive tags with directional arrangement of several antennas. Also, the economical evaluation model can be a decision method for company to adapt the new developed system.

An analysis of the flow within supersonic turbine cascades is necessary to design and manufacture turbo-pump system. Because of the differences between the specified inlet boundary value and the computed inlet value caused by the far field inlet boundary condition, the computations at desired inlet conditions can not be achieved. So, this paper studied the problem occurred when far field inlet conditions were specified as inlet boundary conditions. And the numerical analyses using Fine Turbo, CFD Program, has been performed and compared with those of experiments when a converging-diverging nozzle or a linear nozzle was located in front of cascades instead of the far field inlet condition.

본 연구에서는 서기 2년부터 1977년까지 남.북한 역사지진(A.D 2-1904)과 초기 계기 지진(1905-1977) 목록을 이용하여 남한 지진 규모로 재조정된 지진목록을 작성하였다 역사 지진은 과거의 협소한 인구분포로 인해 지진 기록의 누락이 많앗다 지진 위험도를 작성하기 위해 지진 발생분포와 지체구조의 특성을 고려하여 4개의 지진구(seismic province)를 설정하였다. 각 지진구에서 최대 잠재 지진결정은 Gumbel의 최대치 이론을 이용하였다 제 1수정 점근 함수 분포에서 유한 상한 값(finte upper boundary) 의 존재는 각 지진구에서 발생할 최대 잠재 지진의 진원(source)이 유한하다는 사실과 잘 일치한다. 따라서 이를 근거로 각 지진구에서 10년 , 20년, 30년, 50년 이내에 2% 5% 10% 초과 확률을 갖는 최대 규모지진을 추정하였다 또한 각 지진구에서 유한 지진원은 과거에 발생했던 큰 규모의 특정 지진과 지진 지체구조 정보에 근거하여 결정하였다. 연구결과 조선시대(1392-1904) 의 지진위험도에서는 경주 울산지역과 서울과 평양지역을 따라 높은지반 가속도 값을 보이며 경주지역에서 0.24g의 최대 지반 가속도 값으로 나타났다 계기 지진목록(1905-1998)을 이용한 한반도의 지진 위험도에서는 경주, 울산, 대구 지역에서 0.10-0.12g 의 최대 지반가속도 값을 보였다. 그리고 계기 지진 목록(1905-1998) 만을 이용하여 작성한 서울.경기 지역의 지진 위험도에서는 김포, 잠실 , 성남 지역의 한강을 따라 분포하는 충적층과 강남지역의 지반 운동이 한강 이북의 대보 화강암 지역에 비해 비교적 높은 0.09-0.10g의 지반 가속도를 보이는 것이 특징이다.

This paper describes the re-design and the calibration results of the MAG digital circuit onboard the KSR-3. We enhanced the sampling rate of magnetometer data. Also, we reduced noise and increased authoritativeness of data. We could confirm that AIM resolution was decreased less than InT of analog calibration by a digital calibration of magnetometer. Therefore, we used numerical-program to correct this problem. As a result, we could calculate correction and error of data. These corrections will be applied to magnetometer data after the launch of KSR-3.
