Though the Hough transform is a well-known method for detecting analytical shape represented by a number of free parameters, the basic property of the Hough transform, the one-to-many mapping from an image space to a Hough space, causes the innate problem, the sensitivity to noise. To remedy this problem, Edge Strength Hough Transform (ESHT) was proposed and proved to reduce the noise sensitivity. However the performance of ESHT depends on the size of a Hough space and image and some other parameters, which play an important role in ESHT and should be decided experimentally. In this paper, we derived a formula to decide decreasing parameter. Using the derived formulae, the decreasing parameter value can be decided only with the pre-determined values, the size of a Hough space and an image, which make it possible to decide them automatically.

In this paper, we employed a model which defines the sensitivity according to the background luminance, so called JND (Just Noticeable Difference), and applied to the video coding. The proposed method finds out the maximum possible quantization parameter for the current unit based on the threshold of JND model and reduce the bitrate with similar perceptual quality. It selects the higher quantization parameter and reduce the bitrate when the reconstructed signal which is coded with higher quantization parameter is in a range of allowance based on the JND threshold, i.e. the signal has the similar perceptual quality compared to that is coded with the initial quantization parameter. The proposed algorithm was implemented on HM16.0, which is a reference software of the latest video coding standard HEVC (High Efficiency Video Coding) and the coding performance was evaluated. Compared to HM16.0, the proposed algorithm achieved maximum 20.21% and 6.18% of average bitrate reduction with the similar perceptual quality.

RF 전파는 신호레벨이 비교적 작고 간섭 현상에 매우 민감한 특성을 가지고 있다. 따라서 이러한 미소한 입력전파의 수신시 수신기 전체의 감도를 높이고 잡음을 줄일 목적으로 사용되는 고주파 증폭기가 저잡음 증폭기이다. 본 논문에서는 FET 증폭기를 이용한 LNA설계시 직렬 궤환에 의한 최소잡음과 최소입력정재파비의 최적 설계 파라미터를 검증한다.

본 논문은 칼라 성분들간의 차분 영상과 휘도 영상을 이용하여 산출한 색차 휘도합 영상을 대상으로 블록에 기반한 영상 분할을 수행하여 객체의 형상 정보를 추출함으로써 분할 특성을 개선한 블록 기반 칼라 영상 분할 기법에 관한 것이다. 우선, R, G, B 영상들 간의 차분 성분들을 구하여 합산한 후, 이를 정규화하여 색차합 영상을 구한다. 다음으로 화소 단위로 휘도 영상의 상위 2비트와 정하화된 색차합 영상의 하위 6비트를 결합하여 색차 휘도합 영상을 얻는다. 이후, 기설정된 크기의 블록으로 분할된 색차 휘도합 영상의 각 블록을 질감 블록과 단순 블록 및 에지 블록으로 분류하고 각 유형의 블록별로 병합한 후, 기설정된 마커 배정 규칙에 따라 선택적으로 마커를 부여한다. 마지막으로, 마커가 부여되지 않은 블록을 대상으로 화소 단위의 워터쉐드 알고리즘을 적용함으로써 자연스러운 형상 정보를 얻을 수 있다. 컴퓨터 시뮬레이션 결과를 통해 고찰할 때, 제안된 방범은 질감 영역에서의 과분할의 문제와 과도한 연산량의 부담을 효과적으로 경감시킬 수 있으나, 더불어, 영상 분할용 파라미터들의 민감도가 낮아 서로 다른 화소 분포 특성온 갖는 영상들에 전역적인 파라미터들사용할 수 있을 뿐만 아니라 특히, 색차 휘도합 영상에 반영된 색차 성분에 힘입어 저대조 경계면에서의 분할 특성을 현저히 개선시킬 수 있는 이점이 있다.

In order to develop an ultrasonic evaluation method for properties degradation of high temperature materials, a number of Cr-Mo-V steel samples were heat-treated and their damage mechanism was examined. Ultrasonic parameters such as velocity, attenuation, and more recently developed nonlinear acoustic parameter were measured. The nonlinear acoustic parameter was found to be most sensitive to material degradation mainly attributed to the precipitation of impurities in grain boundaries. When compared to the electrical resistivity results, the nonlinear parameters showed similar behavior. There existed a relatively good correlation between the nonlinear parameter and the fracture appearance transition temperature (FATT) obtained by Charpy V-notch impact test. Based on the relationship between the FATT and the fracture toughness ($K_{IC}$), correlation between the nonlinear parameter and $K_{IC}$ was established.

It is challenging to detect foreground objects when background includes an illumination variation, shadow or structural variation due to its motion. Basically pixel-based background models including codebook-based modeling suffer from statistical randomness of each pixel. This paper proposes an algorithm that incorporates Markov random field model into pixel-based background modeling to achieve more accurate foreground detection. Under the assumptions the distance between the pixel on the input imaging and the corresponding background model and the difference between the scene estimates of the spatio-temporally neighboring pixels are exponentially distributed, a recursive approach for estimating the MRF regularizing parameters is proposed. The proposed method alternates between estimating the parameters with the intermediate foreground detection and estimating the foreground detection with the estimated parameters, after computing it with random initial parameters. Extensive experiment is conducted with several videos recorded both indoors and outdoors to compare the proposed method with the standard codebook-based algorithm.

Logic trees for probabilistic tsunami hazard assessment include numerous variables to take various uncertainty on earthquake generation into consideration. Results from the hazard assessment vary in different way as more variables are considered in the logic tree. This study is conducted to estimate the effects of various scaling laws and fault parameters on tsunami hazard at the nearshore of Busan. Active fault parameters, such as strike angle, dip angle and asperity, are adjusted in the modelling of tsunami propagation, and the numerical results are used in the sensitivity analysis. The influence of strike angle to tsunami hazard is not as much significant as it is expected, instead, dip angle and asperity show a considerable impact to tsunami hazard assessment. It is shown that the dip angle and the asperity which determine the initial wave form are more important than the strike angle for the assessment of tsunami hazard in the East Sea.

Microalgae have been suggested as a promising feedstock for producing biofuel because of their potential of lipid production. In this study, a first principles ODE model for microalgae growth and neutral lipid synthesis proposed by Surisetty et al. (2010) is investigated for the purpose of maximizing the rate of microalgae growth and the amount of neutral lipid. The model has 6 states and 12 parameters and follows the assumption of Droop model which explains the growth as a two-step phenomenon; the uptake of nutrients is first occurred in the cell, and then use of intra-cellular nutrient to support cells growth. In this study, optimal input design using D-optimality criterion is performed to compute the system input profile and sensitivity analysis is also performed to determine which parameters have a negligible effect on the model predictions. Furthermore, model predictive control based on successive linearization is implemented to maximize the amount of neutral lipid contents.

An URL parameter can hold some information that is confidential or vulnerable to illegitimate tampering. We propose Link-E-Param(Link with Encrypted Parameters) to protect the whole URL parameter names as well as their values. Unlike other techniques concealing only some of the URL parameters, it will successfully discourage attacks based on URL analysis to steal secret information on the Web sites. We implement Link-E-Param in the form of a servlet filter to be deployed on any Java Web server by simply copying a jar file and setting a few configuration values. Thus it can be used for any existing Web application without modifying the application. It also supports numerous encryption algorithms to choose from. Experiments show that our implementation induces only 2~3% increase in user response time due to encryption and decryption, which is deemed acceptable.
