X-ray 영상의 경우 검은 배경으로 인해 기존의 히스토그램 평활화를 사용하여 대비비를 향상 시킬 경우 문제가 발생한다. 전역 히스토그램 평활화의 경우 영상의 특징을 고려하지 않은 채 전체적으로 히스토그램 평활화가 이루어지기 때문에 부분적인 명암값을 개선시키기 어렵다. BBHE(Bright Preserving Bi-Histogram Equalization)과 DSIHE(Dualistic Sub-Image Histogram Equalization)과 같은 영역별 히스토그램 평활화의 경우 X-ray 사진특성상 검은 배경으로 인하여 히스토그램 평활화를 적용해도 원하는 대비비를 얻기 힘들며 부분적으로 왜곡이 발생한다. 이러한 문제를 해결하기 위해 본 논문에서는 영상의 히스토그램을 통해 배경 정보를 파악하여 밝기 영역을 나눈 후 히스토그램 평활화를 진행함으로써 X-ray 사진의 대비비를 효율적으로 향상시킨다.

This research aims 1) to analyse the spatial occurrence of red soils, in Korea 2) to predict their spatial distribution using terrain analyses, and 3) to interpret results from the perspective of pedogeomorphological processes. Red soils (often called red-yellow soils) in Korea are frequently found on welldrained plains and gently sloping areas. These soils are widely believed paleo-soils that were formed under hot and humid climatic conditions in the past. The spatial distribution of red soils was derived from the soil map of Korea, and a DEM based soil prediction was developed, based on a continuity equation to depict water and material flows over the landscape. About 64.5% of the red soil occurrence can be explained by the prediction. Close examinations between surveyed and predicted red soil maps show few distinctive spatial features. Granitic erosional plains at the inland of Korea show comparatively low occurrence of red soils, which might indicate active geomorphological processes within the basins. The occurrence of red soils at limestone areas is more abundant than that of the predicted, indicating the influence of parent materials on the formation of red soils. At and around lava plateau at Cheulwon and Youncheon, the occurrence of red soils is underestimated, which might partly be explained by the existence of loess-like surface deposits. There are also distinctive difference of prediction results between northern and southern parts of Korea (divided by a line between Seosan and Pohang). The results of this research calls for more detailed field-based investigations to understand forming processes of red soils, focusing on the spatial heterogeneity of pedological processes, the influence of parent materials, and difference in uplift patterns of the Korean peninsula.

The present study prepared lightweight foam-soil concrete mixtures classified into three groups. Considering the sustainablility, workability, and compressive strength development of such concrete, high-volume supplementary cementitious materials (SCMs) were used as follows: 20% cement, 15% fly ash, and 65% ground granulated blast-furnace slag. As main test parameters selected for achieving the compressive strength of 1MPa and dry density of $1,000kg/m^3$, the unit solid content (dredged soil and binder) ranged between 900 and $1,807kg/m^3$, and soil-to-binder ratio varied between 3.0 and 7.0. Test results revealed that the flow of the lightweight foam-soil concrete tended to decrease with the increase of unit soil content. The compressive strength of such concrete increased with the increase with the unit binder content, whereas it decreased as soil-to-binder ratio increased, indicating that the compressive strength can be formulated as a function of its dry density and soil-to-binder ratio.

This paper proposes two new image contrast enhancement methods, RSWHE (Recursively Separated and Weighted Histogram Equalization) and RSWHS (Recursively Separated and Weighted Histogram Specification). RSWHE is a histogram equalization method based on histogram decomposition and weighting, whereas RSWHS is a histogram specification method based on histogram decomposition and weighting. The two proposed methods work as follows: 1) decompose an input histogram based on the image's mean brightness, 2) compute the probability for the area corresponding to each sub-histogram, 3) modify the sub-histogram by weighting it with the computed probability value, 4) lastly, perform histogram equalization (in the case of RSWHE) or histogram specification (in the case of RSWHS) on the modified sub-histograms independently. Experimental results show that RSWHE and RSWHS outperform other methods in terms of contrast enhancement and mean brightness preservation as well.

Recently, there are many embedded system prototyping tools for helping embedded system designers to trial their product before it releases to the market. A prototype is very important for early embedded system design to grasp the desire functions, to get a good performance, to create delightful user interface, and to increase the valuable of the product. Prototyping tools can be classified by three categories: Physical, Virtual and Modeling prototyping. The integration of these prototyping tools becomes valuable for speed up time-to-market and for decrease design cost when design embedded system. The problem comes up because these tools sometime do not provide an instrument for communicating each other. In this paper, we propose a flexible and reusable mechanism for integrate these tools base on JavaBeans and ActiveX technology. We show how this mechanism can be employed in various prototyping tools.

A prototyping means the way to improve system better from add, modify and delete in the middle of System's working with making model of system simply to offer users in the first develop which the first model is similar in the real model. but there are virtual prototyping and real prototyping in the skills of prototyping but there is some limitation for simulating variety and detail product in the real prototyping and hard to make a simulation of environment elements of the target model in the virtual prototyping. Integrated prototyping system is improved to make up for their defects of environment in the real or virtual prototyping. In this theory, to have flexibility, reusability, scalability and accessibility we build environment of integrated prototyping improvement which is based on component with linkage method between virtual and real.

The purpose of this study is to explore the effect of 'World Cafe' conversations for collective intelligence. For this purpose, 'World Cafe' was applied to the class 'presentation and discussion' of university class. To explore the effect of 'World Cafe' conversations for collective intelligence I surveyed the responses of students participating in the class and analyzed results of the survey and class activities. The results are as follows: first, 82 percent of all students were actively involving in the class, second, topics were more discussed through World Cafe class than general discussion class. These results suggest 'World Cafe' class induced active participation of the students in class and have the effect producing the collective intelligence.

Histogram is very sensitive in lighting because of feature between color space. When it has intensity of moved light, It may be possibility that similarity drop down, So In this paper, introduce new image retrieval method that calls HAC (Histogram Area Calculation). This method divides area of Histogram by a few area and calculate areas. The proposed method is to calculate area of Histogram and compare similarity based on feature that histogram has presently. Performance of our proposed method was verified more excellent than other Conventional method and Merged Color Histogram.

히스토그램은 컬러 공간의 특징 때문에 조명에 매우 민감하며, 이동된 빛의 강도를 가지고 있을 때, 유사성을 떨어뜨릴 가능성이 커지기 때문에, 본 논문에서는 히스토그램의 영역을 몇 개의 영역으로, 나눠, 그 영역들을 계산하는 HAC(Histogram Area Calculation)라 불리는 새로운 검색 방법을 소개한다. 제안한 방식은 현재 히스토그램이 가지고 있는 특성에 기반 하여, 히스토그램의 영역을 계산하고, 유사사성을 matching 시킴으로써, 명암도 변화에 대해서 기존의 다른 전통적인 히스토그램 방법이나, 병합된 히스토그램 방법보다 제안한 방식의 성능이 훨씬 뛰어나다는 것을 보여준다.
