This study presents a new method of estimating the size distribution of river bed gravel through image processing. The analysis was done in two steps; first the individual grain images were analyzed and then the grain particle segmentation of river-bed images were processed. In the first part of the analysis, the relationships (long axes, intermediate axes and projective areas) between grain features from images and those measured were compared. For this analysis, 240 gravel particles were collected at three river stations. All particles were measured with vernier calipers and weighed with scales. The measured data showed that river gravel had shape factors of 0.514~0.585. It was found that the weight of gravel had a stronger correlation with the projective areas than the long or intermediate axes. Using these results, we were able to establish an area-weight formula. In the second step, we calculated the projective areas of the river-bed gravels by detecting their edge lines using the ImageJ program. The projective areas of the gravels were converted to the grain-size distribution using the formula previously established. The proposed method was applied to 3 small- and medium- sized rivers in Korea. Comparisons of the analyzed size distributions with those measured showed that the proposed method could estimate the median diameter within a fair error range. However, the estimated distributions showed a slight deviation from the observed value, which is something that needs improvement in the future.

본 연구에서는 유역의 공간적 자기상사성 평가를 통하여 하천유역의 특성을 파악하고자 하였다. 이를 위해 자기상사성 분석의 지표인 허스트지수 및 프랙탈차원을 산정하였다. 허스트지수(h)의 산정은 모형에 있어서 상당히 중요한 부분을 차지한다. 이 지수에 따라 지형의 모양은 서로 상이하게 다루어질 수 있기 때문이다. 허스트지수의 산정은 Hurst가 제시한 방법(허스트지수), Peters의 수정식, Mandebrot와 Wallis의 Pox 도표, 투영면적 및 표면적 비율 방법(면적지수)이 있으며, 본 연구에서는 유역의 공간 자기상성 분석을 위해 면적지수에 의한 방법과 허스트지수에 의한 방법을 적용하였다. 지형자료는 LiDAR 측량 및 하천 횡단측량에 의해 생성된 정밀 DEM을 활용하여 허스트지수 및 프랙탈차원을 산정하였다. 면적지수 및 허스트지수에 의한 프랙탈차원과 평균경사도와의 관계에서 아라천유역은 결정계수 R2값이 94.9 %, 99.5 %로 비교적 결정계수값이 크게 나타났으며, 경사도와 표면적과의 관계에서 결정계수 R2값은 81.8 %로 분석되었다. 이는 면적지수와 허스트지수에 의해 산정된 프랙탈 차원은 유역의 지형특성 인자로 타당성을 갖는 것으로 판단된다.

The national geodetic reference frame of Korea switched to the International Terrestrial Reference Frame (ITRF) in 2003. In order to study the land area changes, we calculated the entire land area of Korea using the administrative boundaries of census data provided by Statistics Korea. The standard transformation procedure by the National Geographic Information Institute (NGII) was followed. The Transverse Mercator (TM) projected coordinates were transformed into the GRS80-based world geodetic reference frame, and the ellipsoidal and the projected areas were calculated. The provinces that range over two projection origins were divided into two polygons and projected using appropriate origins. After the transformation, all boundaries were shifted in the northwestern direction, resulting in a decreased area of $1.36km^2$ (about 0.0013%) on the projected plane. Moving the boundaries into a high latitude area cancels out the effect of the enlarged ellipsoid. In addition, the rate of change shows that a higher-latitude province is more sensitive to the shift of the boundaries. The data by Statistics Korea is significantly different from those of the Ministry of Land, Transport and Maritime Affairs (MLTM), thus it is urgently recommended that the data are integrated and unified.

Ships sailing the seas encounter air resistance. The air resistance depends on the shape of the above-water hull, the ship speed, the wind speed and wind direction. The experimental or statistical methods which are used to predict the air resistance are one of the essential procedures of the calculation of the towing force of the disabled ships. This paper shows simplified air resistance prediction method using the variables of the projected area of the above-water hull, the speed of the ship, the wind speed and its direction. These methods have been applied to the existing computer program which had been set up to predict the towing force of the disabled ships.

최근 들어 국내외에서는 하천환경 및 생태서식처 기능을 갖는 자연형 하천으로의 복원에 대한 연구가 활발히 진행되고 있다. 이러한 하천복원의 범주에서 하천 내 설치되는 수공구조물에 대한 중요성이 많이 언급 되고 있는데 그 중 대표적인 것으로 수제를 들 수 있다. 하천 내 설치하는 수제(groyne)는 제방보호 및 유로변경의 목적으로 하천내에 시공되는 구조물 중의 하나로서 하천복원과정에 있어 필수불가결한 구조물 중의 하나로 인식되고 있다. 근래에 들어 경제성 및 환경성을 갖는 수제에 대한 연구로 변형수제에 대한 연구들이 진행 되고 있는데 변형수제의 대표적인 형상으로는 L형, T형 수제 및 굴절, 열쇠형 수제 등이 있다. 각각의 수제들은 그 형상에 따라 수제주변에서 국부적인 흐름구조가 다르게 발생하게 된다. 이러한 수제들은 수제 고유의 형태에 대한 흐름특성 연구들이 주로 이루어지고 있는 반면에 수제의 투영길이에 대한비교는 수행되지 않았다. 즉 동일한 수제길이를 갖더라도 설치각이나 형태에 따라 투영면적에 대한 유수단면적의 변화가 발생하게 된다. 본 연구에서는 그림과 같이 상향 또는 하향굴절수제를 대상으로 팔길이(AL)의 변화를 주었으며, 팔길이 변화로 인해 발생되는 투영길이(L')와 동일한 길이를 갖는 연직수제를 제작하여 흐름특성을 관측하고 비교하여 보았다. 수제는 군집 형태로 건설되는 것이 일반적이나 여러 가지 형태의 조합으로 건설되기도 하는데 이러한 투영길이에 대한 비교는 수제설계 시 기초자료로 활용될 수 있을 것이다.

The transverse cylindrical projection has been used in Korea since 1910s when the nationwide geodetic network was firstly established. However, the projection has a number of different types of functions according to a way of its mathematical derivation as well as a section of its coefficients and terms, for instance Gauss- Schreiber(GS) and Gauss-Kruger(GK) types. Although the transverse cylindrical projection itself is assigned to a system, projected coordinates would be diverse with respect to the function used in the actual calculation. In order to investigate impact of functions used in the computation, five different equations (i.e., 2 GS and 3 GK) were implemented in this study by using MATLAB. A series of numerical simulation tests has been carried out to compare and characterize them in terms of projection accuracy, difference of projected coordinates and distortion. Furthermore, a comparison between GS and GK function was made under the Korean gridding system, consisting of four zones. Results from the numerical computations were qualitatively analyzed and summarized in this paper.

Much information on the terrain and the space has been depicted to maps of various form according to the map scale and the application. In Korea the base map system was made by only one projection method(Transvers Mercator projection). This is the reason to study this paper, because I think singular map projection method can't satisfy the various map scales and application. In this paper Meridian Are Length, Parallel Are Length of ellipsoid and the area of ellipsoidal surface-the length, the width and area of the map scale 1/5,000, 1/25,000, 1/5,000, 1/1,000, will be calculated and transformed to the plane length and area by Transvers Mercartor projection and Polyhedrical projection. The projection distortion which came into existence on this occasion was compared and analyzed by this Paper. And Properties on TM and Polyhedrical projection were understood. Lastly this paper intended to present suitable map projections according to the map scales and the purpose of use.

In this study, image-based flock monitoring and density evaluation were conducted for broiler chicks welfare. Image data were captured by using a mono camera and region of broiler chicks in the image was detected using converting to HSV color model, thresholding, and clustering with filtering. The results show that region detection was performed with 5% relative error and 0.81 IoU on average. The detected region was corrected to the actual region by projection into ground using coordinate transformation between camera and real-world. The flock density of broiler chicks was estimated using the corrected actual region, and it was observed with an average of 80%. The developed algorithm can be applied to the broiler chicks house through enhancing accuracy of region detection and low-cost system configuration.

When a disabled ship is being towed in a seaway, the resistance increase of the towed ship caused by both the external conditions such as wave and wind and the hull conditions such as drifting angle, should be accurately predicted. Most of the disabled ships cannot be towed in the front direction of hull, but they are usually towed in drifted direction with some drifting angle. In this sense, the resistance increase caused by the drifting angle is not an element to be ignored. In this paper, various methods for prediction of the resistance increase caused by the drifting angle are studied. In addition, new prediction methods such as front-lateral projected ratio method and empirical formula method by multiple regression analysis have been derived. The front-lateral projected area ratio method has been applied to a computer program for prediction of the towing condition, and this method has been approved to be a useful method in practical situations.

In order to investigate the basic performance of the high strength anchor for asphalt road subjected to tensile load, the static pullout test was carried out and the pullout strength of the asphalt anchor was analyzed. In the pullout test, the depth of anchor, depth of pavement, diameter of anchor, type of anchor, experimental temperature, epoxy type and amount of anchor were used as test variables. As a result, the steel strength of asphalt anchor was 1.08 times higher than that of conventional concrete anchor, therefore it is considered appropriate to use the steel strength formula of concrete anchor for asphalt anchor. Compared with the proposed formula, the pullout load obtained from the test of the asphalt anchor was within ${\pm}10%$. The ratio of the projected area of the asphalt anchor is similar as that of the concrete anchor.
