Many cultural heritages with various periods including the 'Three Kingdoms Period' were discovered in Chulmamyeon, Busan. Detailed geomorphological and geological investigation was performed due to archaeological importance of the study area. Aerial photographic analysis for geomorphology and analysis of vertical sedimentary sections to interpret the sedimentary characteristics were carried out. Many pebbles with specific features were discovered during the investigation. The characteristics and origin of the pebbles are analysed based on their size, rock type and shape. The study area is located in a relatively low and gentle slope compared with neighboring regions. The strong N-S trending lineaments may influence the topographic features and the distribution of wells discovered in this area. The exposed sections during excavation are divided into several layers depending on colors and materials included. Some of the layers may be developed not by nature but by human activities. The similarity of the pebbles indicates that these pebbles may artificially be collected or produced for a specific purpose. This study shows that geomorphology and geology can be important in location and development of archaeological sites. The analysis and interpretation for the origin of the pebbles indicates that geological studies can be helpful to interpretation of archaeological studies.

In this paper, we propose an efficient $GF(2^m)$ multi-segment multiplier architecture and study its application to elliptic curve cryptography processors. The multi-segment based ECC datapath has a very small combinational multiplier to compute partial products, most of its internal data buses are word-sized, and it has only a single m bit multiplexer and a single m bit register. Hence, the resource requirements of the proposed ECC datapath can be minimized as the segment number increases and word-size is decreased. Hence, as compared to the ECC processor based on digit-serial multiplication, the proposed ECC datapath is more efficient in resource usage. The resource requirement of ECC Processor implementation depends not only on the number of basic hardware components but also on the complexity of interconnection among them. To show the realistic area efficiency of proposed ECC processors, we implemented both the ECC processors based on the proposed multi-segment multiplication and digit serial multiplication and compared their FPGA resource usages. The experimental results show that the Proposed multi-segment multiplication method allows to implement ECC coprocessors, requiring about half of FPGA resources as compared to digit serial multiplication.

In this paper, we propose a hand tracking and gesture recognition system. Our system employs a depth capture device to obtain 3D geometric information of user's bare hand. In particular, we build a flexible tracking volume and restrict the hand tracking area, so that we can avoid diverse problems caused by conventional object detection/tracking systems. The proposed system computes running average of the hand position, and tracking volume is actively adjusted according to the statistical information that is computed on the basis of uncertainty of the user's hand motion in the 3D space. Once the position of user's hand is obtained, then the system attempts to detect stretched fingers to recognize finger gesture of the user's hand. In order to test the proposed framework, we built a NUI system using the proposed technique, and verified that our system presents very stable performance even in the case that multiple objects exist simultaneously in the crowded environment, as well as in the situation that the scene is occluded temporarily. We also verified that our system ensures running speed of 24-30 frames per second throughout the experiments.

This paper presents a new image rejection algorithm based on the analysis of the distortion of a single-frequency continuous-wave (CW) signal due to the I/Q mismatch. Existing methods estimated the gain mismatch and phase mismatch on RF receivers and compensated them However, this paper shows that the circular trajectory of a single-frequency CW signal is distorted elliptic-type trajectory due to the I/Q mismatch. Utilizing the analysis, we propose a I/Q mismatch compensation method. It has two processing steps. In the first processing step, the generated signal is rotated to align the major axis of the elliptic-type trajectory diagram with the x-axis. In the second processing step, the Q-channel signal in the regenerated signal is scaled to align the regenerated signal with the transmitted single-frequency CW signal. Simulation results show that a receiver using the proposed image rejection algorithm can achieve an image rejection ratio of more than 70dB. And, simulation results show that the bit error rate performances of receivers using the proposed image rejection algorithm are almost the same as those of conventional coherent demodulators, even in fading channels.

The color and shape of the tongue reflect the physiological and clinico-pathological condition of the body. Recently, various tongue image acquisition devices have been developed for accurate diagnosis based on quantitative and objective tongue features. Since a color information is essential for tongue diagnosis, the performance of an illuminator is very important for the tongue image acquisition device. In this study, we developed an indirect illumination, which is possible to improve a homogeneity of light intensities on the tongue surface, and evaluated its performances. In order to realize the indirect illumination (II), a semi-ellipsoidal solid structure (SESS) for the light reflex was located in the system, and two high-brightness white LEDs were placed for illuminating the areas under frontal camera in the SESS. The tongue surface was illuminated by reflected light from the SESS. The light homogeneity induced by three different illuminations including the II was evaluated by calculating coefficient of variation (CV) of illuminance of five regions. The II showed less than 0.01 of CV and the direct illumination (DI) and the direct illumination with a light diffusion plate (DILDP) showed 0.16 and 0.13, respectively. The reflexed pixel ratios of tongue phantom images show 5.76%, 4.22%, 1.79% for the DI, the DILDP and the II, respectively. The homogeneity of a tongue phantom was evaluated by calculating CV of mean pixel values of six different tongue regions, and showed less than 0.06 in the II. If the II technique apply to tongue diagnosis system, it is expected to improve diagnostic accuracy in clinic.

The grain size of clastic sedimentary rocks classifies the rock types and also causes of anisotropy of the rock. The anisotropy is one of the most important factors that dominates the strength and weathering behavior of rocks. The anisotropy of clastic sedimentary and igneous rocks in the Gyeongsang Basin including Yeongju, Daegu, and Busan were analyzed by magnetic susceptibility expressed by the degree of anisotropy and shape parameter. As the results of the study, the sandstone deposited under lacustrine environment unaffected by the external force shows 1.03 degree of anisotropy. The degrees of anisotropy of the rocks affected by faults and fault rocks show 1.06 and 1.14, respectively. The magnetic susceptibility of rocks is to decrease with the distance from the fault. A fresh mudstone and shale formed by fines show a similar magnitude of the degree of anisotropy to fault rock and correspond to oblate shape parameter due to their sedimentary structure. Due to these reasons, we need attention in design, construction, and maintenance of a structure constructed in mudstone and shale.

An efficient method for implementing image reconstruction algorithms for Compton cameras is presented. Since Compton scattering formula establishes a cone surface from which the incident photon must have originated, it is crucial to implement a computationally efficient cone-surface integration method for image reconstruction. In this paper we assume that a cone is made up of a series of ellipses (or circles) stacked up one on top of the other. In order to reduce computational burden for tracing ellipses formed by the intersection of a cone and an image plane, we propose a new method using a series of imaginary planes perpendicular to the cone axis so that each plane contains a circle, not an ellipse. In this case the cone surface integral can be performed by simply accumulating the circles along the cone axis. To reduce the computational cost of tracing circles, only one of the circles in the cone is traced and the rest are determined by using simple trigonometric ratios. For our experiments, we used the three different schemes for tracing ellipses; (i) using the samples generated by the ellipse equation, (ii) using the fixed number of samples along a circle on the imaginary plane, and (iii) using the fixed sampling interval along a circle on the imaginary plane. We then compared performance of the above three methods by applying them to the two reconstruction algorithms - the simple back-projection method and the expectation-maximization algorithm. The experimental results demonstrate that our proposed methods (ii) and (iii) using imaginary planes significantly improve reconstruction accuracy as well as computational efficiency.

이 연구에서는 5개의 시추공에 대한 양수시험을 실시하여 대수층의 수리학적 이방성과 지하수의 주 유동방향을 규명하고자 하였다. 코아검층 및 초음파주사검층을 통해 각각의 공에 대한 균열방향을 결정하고 이를 토대로 통합해본 결과 크게 세 방향의 균열군이 집중성을 보였다. 가장 빈도가 높은 균열의 방향은 N0$^{\circ}$~40$^{\circ}$E/30$^{\circ}$~50$^{\circ}$SE 그리고 N30$^{\circ}$~ 80 $^{\circ}$W/20$^{\circ}$~50$^{\circ}$ NE이 방향이 함께 나타났으며 두 번째 균열의 방향은 N0$^{\circ}$ ~50$^{\circ}$E/60$^{\circ}$ ~80$^{\circ}$NW로 나타났다. 세 번째 방향은 N30$^{\circ}$~50 $^{\circ}$W/70$^{\circ}$~80$^{\circ}$SW방향의 균열로 구성된다. 이처럼 지표하에서는 크게 세 방향의 균열이 다른 방향을 보이는 균열에 비해 상대적으로 큰 빈도를 가지며 발달하고 있음을 알 수 있다. 대수층이 이방성이고 균질하다는 가정하에 양수시험을 실시하여 각각의 공에 대한 최대 투수량계수 ( $T_{{\varepsilon}{\varepsilon}}$)와 최소 투수량계수 ( $T_{ηη}$)값을 산출하고 주 텐서방향 ($\theta$)을 결정하였다. 그 결과 BH-1, BH-4, BH=5공을 제외한 BH-2, BH-3호공에서의 이방성 투수량계수텐서값은 이 논문의 가정인 대수층이 이방성이고 균질하다는 가정에 일치하지 않았다. 따라서 원형좌표계에 도시하였을 때 다른 공에 비해서 비균질성이 심한 결과로 인해 이방성타원체 에서 많이 벗어남을 보였다. 이로인해 3개의 공 BH-1, BH-4, BH-5호공을 사용하여 대수층의 이방성을 분석하여 보았다. BH-1호공에서의 $T_{{\varepsilon}{\varepsilon}}$는 171.90 $m^2$/day, $T_{ηη}$는 71.0l $m^2$/day이고 주 텐서방향은 Nl5.39$^{\circ}$ E로 나타났다. BH-4호공의 $T_{{\varepsilon}{\varepsilon}}$는 268.20 $m^2$/day, $T_{ηη}$는 28.75 $m^2$/day이고 주 텐서방향은 N7.55$^{\circ}$E이며 BH-5호공에서의 $T_{{\varepsilon}{\varepsilon}}$는 168.40 $m^2$/day, $T_{ηη}$는 66.80 $m^2$/day이고 주 텐서방향은 N76.59$^{\circ}$E로 나타났다. 이처럼 연구지역에서의 각각의 공에 대한 투수량계수텐서는 서로 다르게 나타났으며 이에 따른 주 텐서방향도 서로 다름을 알 수 있다.

성인의 정서에 따른 심혈관계 반응의 변화에 대한 연구는 많이 있으나, 아동 정서에 따른 심혈관계 반응에 대한 연구는 거의 없는 실정이다. 본 연구에서는 본 연구실에서 개발한 자극을 이용하여 유발된 정서에 따른 심혈관계 반응의 차이를 규명하고자 한다. 복합자극으로 구성된 아동용 정서유발 프로토콜을 사용하여 아동에게 다섯가지 정서(기쁨, 슬픔, 분노, 스트레스, 무료함)를 유발시키는 동안 심혈관계 반응(ECG, PPG)을 측정하였다. 실험참여 아동은 만 5세에서 9세 사이의 아동으로 모두 141명이며, 분석에는 132명 (학령전 남: 30/ 학령전 여: 33/ 학령후 남:37, 학령후 여:32)의 데이터가 활용되었다. 분석에 사용하나 심혈관계 생리반응 변수는 심박률(HR), 호흡주기 관련 심박률변화 (RSA), 심박률분산(HRV), 심박률분산의 고주파수성분 (HFHRV)과 저주파수성분 (LF HRV), 혈류량 (FPV)이었다. 이 변수들 중 심박률, R파 간 간격을 기준으로 한 심박률변산의 고주파수 성분과 저주파수 성분, 그리고 혈류량에서 정서에 따라 유의미한 차이가 나타났다. 심박률은 기쁨, 슬픔을 스트레스나 무료함과 구분할 수 있고, 분노를 다른 정서들과 구분하는 것으로 나타났다. 혈류량 역시 분노와 다른 정서들 간에 유의미한 차이를 보였다. 고주파수 성분은 무료함을 나머지 정서들과, 저주파수 성분은 슬픔, 스트레스를 무료함과 구별할 수 있었다. 정서에 따라서는, 기쁨과 분노 유발정서에서는 심박률과 혈류량이 감소하였고, 슬픔은 심박률과 저주파수성분이 감소하였으며, 스트레스는 독특하게 심박률이 감소하였다. 그리고 무료함에서는 고주파수성분과 저주파수성분은 증가하고 혈류량은 감소하는 특징적인 양상을 보였다. 결론적으로 본 연구는 심혈관계 반응을 이용하여 아동정서를 구분하는 것이 가능함을 밝혔다.공을 제외한 BH-2, BH-3호공에서의 이방성 투수량계수텐서값은 이 논문의 가정인 대수층이 이방성이고 균질하다는 가정에 일치하지 않았다. 따라서 원형좌표계에 도시하였을 때 다른 공에 비해서 비균질성이 심한 결과로 인해 이방성타원체 에서 많이 벗어남을 보였다. 이로인해 3개의 공 BH-1, BH-4, BH-5호공을 사용하여 대수층의 이방성을 분석하여 보았다.
