In this paper, a wavelet packet transform method is proposed for improving the altitude control performance of quadrotor UAV using an ultrasonic rangefinder. A ground tests are conducted using an ultrasonic rangefinder that is much used for vertical takeoff and landing. An ultrasonic rangefinder suffers from signal's spike due to specular reflectance and acoustic noise. The occurred spikes in short time span need to be analyzed at both sides time and frequency domain. The analyzed spikes of the ultrasonic rangefinder using a wavelet packet transform. Compared with the discrete wavelet transform, the wavelet packet decomposition can obtain more abundant time-frequency localization information, so it is more suitable for analyzing and processing ultrasonic signals spike. Experimental results show that it can effectively remove the spikes of the ultrasonic rangefinder.

This paper proposes a new method which traces significant element of 2-dimensional natural images and encrypts them by using Fresnelet transform (FRNLT). After analyzing property of the subbands obtained by the FRNLT, we estimated the information for ciphering 2D images. Considering FRNLT levels, energy of subbands, and visual effect, we estimated the optimized point for encryption. By selecting various levels and encrypting region, we can encrypt 2D image with various robustness. Encryption effectiveness was showed by analyzing numerical result, executing time for encryption, area of encrypted region, and visual observation. Therefore encryption for various application can be applied by using the suggested parameters without additional analysis. Identifying the experimental result, in the case of $L_{TH}=4$ and $L_{TH}=4$, an image was not recognized through encrypting only 0.42% among the entire data.

Sensitivity of aircraft sizing depending on battery performance was studied for a generic quad tilt rotor type electric vertical takeoff and landing vehicle. The mission requirements proposed by Uber Elevate and NASA were used for initial sizing, and the calculated gross weight is ranged between 5,000lb and 11,000lb for battery specific energy range of 200-400Wh/kg in pack level and continuous discharge rate range of 4-5C. For the assumed gross weight of 7,000lb, the required battery performance was calculated with two different criteria: available power and energy, and the effects of battery specific energy and discharge rate are analyzed. The maximum discharge rate is also recommended considering failure cases such as one battery pack inoperative and one prop rotor inoperative.

In this study, numerical analyses on Quad Tilt Rotor(QTR) are carried out to investigate the interference effect of components and effect of operating condition during forward flight. Actuator Surface Method(ASM) which is implemented in an open source CFD code, OpenFOAM, is used to calculate the flow field around QTR with high computational efficiency. The lift of the front and rear wing is found to increase or decrease depending on the rotation direction of the rotor. At the rear wing, the interference effects of the front and rear rotor appear as a combined manner. Performance change due to the phase difference is found to be insignificant. For both rotors, the locally higher thrust is generated by the blockage effect of the wing. The interference effect of wake from the front nacelle contributes to higher local thrust for the rear rotor compared to the front rotor. And it is observed that the amplitude of thrust oscillation can decrease depending on the phase difference between the rotors. Aerodynamic performances of both rotors and the entire aircraft were compared and analyzed for various operating conditions.

In this study, wind tunnel test on Quad-Tilt Propeller which has tandem wings is carried out to analyze the aerodynamic interference effect of front wing and propeller on rear wing during forward flight. Using 6-axis balance system, forces and moments of whole aircraft were measured and using strain gauge at wing root, bending moments were measured to observe change of aerodynamic force of each wings. A 12-hole probe was used to measure the flow field in the wing and propeller wake. Flow characteristics were observed qualitatively through flow visualization experiment using tuft and smoke. To measure the aerodynamic interference by elements, the influence of front wing and propeller on rear wing was analyzed by changing the wings and propellers mount combination.

The portion of header in H.264 gets higher than those of previous standards instead of its better compression efficiency. Therefore, this paper proposes a new technique to compress the header of H.264. Unifying a sentence elementary in H.264, H.264 does not consider the distribution of element which be encoded and uses existing Exp-Golomb method, but it is uneffective for variable length coding. Most of the header are block type(s) and motion vector difference(s), and there are redundancies in the header of H.264. The redundancies in the header of H.264 which are analyzed in this paper are three. There are frequently appearing symbols and non-frequently appearing symbols in block types. And when mode 8 is selected in macroblock, all of four sub-macroblock types are transferred. At last, same values come in motion vector difference, especially '0.' This paper proposes the algorithm using type code and quadtree, and with them presents the redundant information of header in H.264. The type code indicates shape of the macroblock and the quadtree does the tree structured motion compensation. Experimental results show that proposed algorithm achieves lower total number of encoded bits over JM12.4 up to 32.51% bit reduction.

A multi-rotor is an autonomous flying robot with multiple rotors. Depending on the number of the rotors, multi-rotors are categorized as tri-, quad-, hexa-, and octo-rotor. Given their rapid maneuverability and vertical take-off and landing capabilities, multi-rotors can be used in various applications such as surveillance and reconnaissance in hostile urban areas surrounded by high-rise buildings. In this paper, the unified dynamic model of each tri-, quad-, hexa-, and octo-rotor are presented. Then, based on derived mathematical equations, the operation and control techniques of each multi-rotor are derived and analyzed. For verifying and validating the proposed models, operation and control technique simulations are carried out.

반도체 공정 기술의 발달에 따라 프로세서의 성능은 비약적으로 증가하였다. 특히 최근에는 하나의 프로세서에 여러 개의 코어를 집적한 멀티코어 프로세서 기술이 급속도로 발달하고 있는 추세이다. 멀티코어 프로세서는 동작주파수를 높여 성능을 개선하는 싱글코어 프로세서의 한계를 극복하기 위해 코어 개수를 늘림으로써 각각의 코어가 더 낮은 동작주파수에서 실행할 수 있도록 하여 소모 전력을 줄일 수 있다. 또한 다수의 코어가 동시에 연산을 수행하기 때문에 싱글코어 프로세서보다 더 많은 연산을 효율적으로 수행하여 사용률이 크게 높아지고 있지만 멀티코어 프로세서에서는 다수의 코어를 단일 칩에 집적하였기 때문에 전력밀도의 증가와 높은 발열이 문제가 되고 있다. 이와 같은 상황에서 본 논문에서는 듀얼코어 프로세서를 탑재한 시스템과 쿼드코어 프로세서를 탑재한 시스템의 소모 전력과 온도를 실제 측정하고 시뮬레이션을 통해 얻은 가상 시스템의 결과를 비교, 분석함으로써 실제 측정 결과와 시뮬레이션 결과가 얼마나 유사한지를 살펴보고, 차이가 발생하는 원인에 대한 분석을 수행하고자 한다. 실험결과, 실제 시스템을 측정한 결과와 시뮬레이션을 통한 가상 시스템의 결과는 매우 유사한 추이를 보이는 것으로 나타났다. 하지만 실제 시스템의 소모 전력과 온도의 증가비율은 가상 시스템의 소모 전력과 온도의 증가비율과는 다른 경향을 보이는 것을 확인하였다.
