This paper proposes an efficient coding method of the depth-map which is different from the natural images. The depth-map are so smooth in both inner parts of the objects and background, but it has sharp edges on the object-boundaries like a cliff. In addition, when a depth-map block is decomposed into bit planes, the characteristic of perfect matching or inverted matching between bit planes often occurs on the object-boundaries. Therefore, the proposed depth-map coding scheme is designed to have the bit-plane unit coding method using the adaptive XOR method for efficiently coding the depth-map images on the object-boundary areas, as well as the conventional DCT-based coding scheme (for example, H.264/AVC) for efficiently coding the inside area images of the objects or the background depth-map images. The experimental results show that the proposed algorithm improves the average bit-rate savings as 11.8 % ~ 20.8% and the average PSNR (Peak Signal-to-Noise Ratio) gains as 0.9 dB ~ 1.5 dB in comparison with the H.264/AVC coding scheme. And the proposed algorithm improves the average bit-rate savings as 7.7 % ~ 12.2 % and the average PSNR gains as 0.5 dB ~ 0.8 dB in comparison with the adaptive block-based depth-map coding scheme. It can be confirmed that the proposed method improves the subjective quality of synthesized image using the decoded depth-map in comparison with the H.264/AVC coding scheme. And the subjective quality of the proposed method was similar to the subjective quality of the adaptive block-based depth-map coding scheme.

In this paper, we proposed a simple measurement method to find the behaviors of the fiber-to-waveguide coupler. The polished fiber blocks and planar waveguides on silicon dioxide were fabricated independently and then optically coupled by physical pressure. Several kinds of polymer with different refractive indices were used for waveguide films. The proposed method makes it possible to measure the center wavelength, bandwidth, extinction ratio, and polarization dependence of the coupler during fabrication procedure. The wavelength sensitivity increased with refractive index of polymer. The symmetric planar waveguide structure and isotropic property of guiding materials reduced polarization dependent property. Insertion loss of the coupler was less than 0.5dB. It is expected that our measurement method is useful for developing various optical devices using evanescent coupling between polished fiber and planar waveguide such as optical modulators and filters etc.

Adaptive filtering method is one of signal processing area which is frequently used in the case of statistical characteristic change in time-varing situation. The performance of adaptive filter is usually evaluated with complexity of its structure, convergence speed and misadjustment. The structure of adaptive filter must be simple and its speed of adaptation must be fast for real-time implementation. In this paper, we propose chirp discrete cosine transform (CDCT), which has the characteristics of CZT (chrip z-transform) and DCT (discrete cosine transform), and then CDCTLMS (chirp discrete cosine transform LMS) using the above mentioned algorithm for the improvement of its speed of adaptation. Using loaming curve, we prove that the proposed method is superior to the conventional US (normalized LMS) algorithm and DCTLMS (discrete cosine transform LMS) algorithm. Also, we show the real application for the ultrasonic signal processing.

In this paper, an analytical technique is proposed for the design of interleaved thinned planar array with well-behaved and predictable sidelobes. The interleaved arrays are composed of thinned planar subarrays based on cyclic difference sets(DSs). Becauce sidelobes of thinned planar subarrays based on DS are predictable by DS parameters, the subarrays exhibit very similar sidelobe levels by utilizing DS and complementary DS with similar autocorrelations each other. The combinatorial method also allows the design of interleaved placements with simultaneously optimum peak sidelobe levels(PSLs) of subarrays using cyclic shift-a property of DSs. The optimized PSLs of the interleaved array are -12.47 dB and -10.34 dB.

In this paper, we propose a new type of a planar waveguide lens, a meniscus lens instead of a plano-convex lens used widely for the optical integrated circuits such as optical numerical processors. A plano-convex lens has a spherical aberration caused by the linear boundary. In the proposed meniscus lens, this linear boundary is replaced by a circular-boundary, and the spherical aberration is removed. To test the performance of the proposed lens, a meniscus lens is designed using Fermat principle and fabricated on the Y-cut $LiNbO_3$ substrate. First a $Ti:LiNbO_3$ planar waveguide is fabricated on the $LiNbO_3$ substrate by Ti indiffusion. Then a meniscus lens is fabricated on the planar waveguide by TIPE(Ti indiffued proton-exchange) method. A plano-convex lens is also fabricated on the same substrate to compare the spot size at the focal point. The measured spot size of the meniscus lens is reduced to 59% that of the plano-convex lens. This result shows that the proposed meniscus lens is more effective for optical integrated circuits than the plano-convex lens.

가로흐름에 방류되는 연직평면부력젤의 젤중심선경로와 온도분포를 실험자료와 기본방정식으로부터 유도된 적분식에 의하여 해석한다. 기본방정식으로부터 적분식의 유도는 상사법칙과 특성길이를 도입하여 연직상향 및 수평방향흐름영역에 대한 차원해석을 하였고, 실험은 속도비(R=Wo/Ua)와 방류밀도Froude수를 변화시키면서 각각에 따른 젤중심선경로와 온도분포를 획득하였다. 속도비 R과 방류밀도Froude수 Fo에 따라 부력젤의 흐름특성은 달라지게 되며, 초기조건(운동량및 부력)에관계없이 부력젤은 항상 운동량지배영역이 존재함을 알 수 있었고 적분식에 의한 역법칙(power law)과 실험 자료는 대체로 일치된결과를 나타내었다.

In order to investigate characteristics of the von Mises yield criterion under 2 dimensional stress condition, two cases of plane strain were studied. One of which was for zero elastic strain and the other was for zero plastic strain increment. Yield functions for the plane strain condition for zero elastic strain and for the plane stress condition were represented as ellipse and the two yield functions were compared by ratios of major axis, minor axis and eccentricity and it was seen that the ratio of minor axis was the same between the two cases and the ratios of major axis and eccentricity were functions of Poisson's ratio. Region of elastic behavior obtained from considering plane strain condition of zero elastic strain increases as the Poisson's ratio increases. Yield function for plane strain obtained from considering zero plastic increment and associate flow rule was displayed as straight line and the region of elastic behavior was greater than that for the case of plane stress.

Plane strain punch stretching test(PSST) was performed for various automotive steel sheets. To clarify the effect of tensile properties on plane strain stretchability, the limiting punch height(LPH) values were obtained in plane strain punch stretching test and related to the tensile properties of the materials. The results show that the total elongation El and work hardening exponent n compared to other parameters obtained from tensile test well correlate with the LPH value. In comparision with the Erichsen test and LDH test the PSST can be statistically used as an alternative in assessing the stamping formability of automotive steel sheets with the advantages of good reproducibility and easy testing method.
