In this paper, the X-band reconfigurable frequency selective surface having flexible geometry was proposed. The proposed RFSS is composed of patterns of cross-shaped loop with inductive stub, which can control the frequency response for C-Band and X-band by ON/OFF state of PIN diode. To minimize the parasitic effect and to obtain the high level of isolation between the unit cell of FSS and the bias circuit, we designed the grid type bias line on bottom layer through via hole. The measured transmission characteristics show good agreement with the simulation results and good stability of frequency response for different incident angles and curvatures of surface.

The purpose of this study is to present the most appropriate hardware and software configurations to produce a practical SIV (surface image velocimeter). To make a practical SIV, we constructed the system with a CCTV, a water stage gauge, and an analysis software installed on an Android board. The camera captures continuously images for 30 seconds with 2 minute intervals. And the 11-parameter projection method was used in the software that analyzes the captured images to reconstruct the exact measurement points according to the changing water stage. In addition, a spatio-temporal image construction method was developed so that the directions of the images could be arranged in the main flow direction at each measurement point. The surface image velocimeter composed of the proposed method was produced and installed at the Insu Stream, Seoul for a test site. And a result of measurement during a heavy rainfall event showed that the proposed system can measure flow discharge in proper, rapid and continuous manner.

To detect defect of FPD(flat panel displays) is very difficult due to uneven illumination on FPD panel image. This paper presents a method to detect various types of defects using the approximated image of the uneven illumination by B-spline. To construct a approximated surface, corresponding to uneven illumination background intensity, while reducing random noises and small defect signal, only the lowest smooth subband is used by wavelet decomposition, resulting in reducing the computation time of taking B-spline approximation and enhancing detection accuracy. The approximated image in lowest LL subband is expanded as the same size as original one by wavelet reconstruction, and the difference between original image and reconstructed one becomes a flat image of compensating the uneven illumination background. A simple binary thresholding is then used to separate the defective regions from the subtracted image. Finally, blob analysis as post-processing is carried out to get rid of false defects. For applying in-line system, the wavelet transform by lifting based fast algorithm is implemented to deal with a huge size data such as film and the processing time is highly reduced.

This paper addresses a new triangulation method for constructing surface model from a set of wire-frame contours. The most important problem of contour triangulation is the branching problem, and we provide a new solution for the double branching problem, which occurs frequently in real data. The multiple branching problem is treated as a set of double branchings and an algorithm based on contour merging is developed. Our double branching algorithm is based on partitioning of root contour by Toussiant's polygon triangulation algorithml[14]. Our double branching algorithm produces quite natural surface model even if the branch contours are very complicate in shape. We treat the multiple branching problem as a problem of coarse section sampling in z-direction, and provide a new multiple branching algorithm which iteratively merge a pair of branch contours using imaginary interpolating contours. Our method is a natural and systematic solution for the general branching problem of contour triangulation. The result shows that our method works well even though there are many complicated branches in the object.

This paper presents an optimization framework of electrical impedance tomography for characterizing electrical conductivity profiles of concrete structures in two dimensions. The framework utilizes a partial-differential-equation(PDE)-constrained optimization approach that can obtain the spatial distribution of electrical conductivity using measured electrical potentials from several electrodes located on the boundary of the concrete domain. The forward problem is formulated based on a complete electrode model(CEM) for the electrical potential of a medium due to current input. The CEM consists of a Laplace equation for electrical potential and boundary conditions to represent the current inputs to the electrodes on the surface. To validate the forward solution, electrical potential calculated by the finite element method is compared with that obtained using TCAD software. The PDE-constrained optimization approach seeks the optimal values of electrical conductivity on the domain of investigation while minimizing the Lagrangian function. The Lagrangian consists of least-squares objective functional and regularization terms augmented by the weak imposition of the governing equation and boundary conditions via Lagrange multipliers. Enforcing the stationarity of the Lagrangian leads to the Karush-Kuhn-Tucker condition to obtain an optimal solution for electrical conductivity within the target medium. Numerical inversion results are reported showing the reconstruction of the electrical conductivity profile of a concrete specimen in two dimensions.

얼굴에 대한 시각적 인지는 오랫동안 인간에게 중요한 문제로 인식되어 왔다. 수 세기 동안 이루어져 왔던 미용 화장과 성형, 치아 교정 등의 다양한 연구는 사람의 얼굴을 감성적 측면에서 어떻게 하면 아름답게 만들 수 있는 가에 초점을 두었다. 본 논문에서는 휴먼 입출력 인터페이스로서 햅틱 장치와 스테레오 디스플레이를 혼합한 다중 감각 인터랙션 기반의 감성적인 3차원 얼굴 메이크업 시뮬레이션 프레임워크를 개발한다. 본 연구는 3차원 스캐너 장비로부터 사용자의 얼굴 모델을 추출하고, 그 데이터를 이용하여 자연스럽고 직관적인 얼굴 메이크업 시뮬레이션을 수행하는 것을 목표로 하고 있다. 이를 위하여 본 연구에서는 surface elements 표현 기반의 3차원 얼굴 필터링 방법과 얼굴 메이크업을 지원하는 페인팅 방법을 개발한다. 우선 사용자의 얼굴 모델을 3차원 스캐너로 획득한 후, 전처리 얼굴 필터링을 수행하여 조명, 그리고 사용자 얼굴 피부 상태에 기인하는 에러 및 속성들을 보정하고 피부 톤을 사용자가 선호하는 색으로 변경한다. 최종적으로 사용자는 햅틱 및 스테레오 디스플레이 장치를 이용하여 두 개의 레이어로 구성된 페인팅 표면 모델에 메이크업을 수행한다. 본 연구에서 적용한 surface elements 표현 기반의 그래픽 렌더링은 일반적인 메쉬 기반 페인팅의 문제점인 텍스쳐 왜곡 현상을 완화하고, 3차원 스캐너 장치에 기인하는 표면 에러를 보정한다. 그리고 전처리 얼굴 필터링과 메이크업 페인팅 방법은 사용자 중심의 감성적인 3차원 얼굴을 재구성하도록 한다. 결과적으로 본 연구에서 개발한 이러한 기술들이 다중 감각 인터페이스 기반의 메이크업 시뮬레이터의 기본 프레임워크가 되어, 차후 메이크업이나 코디네이션 분야 등의 디지털 콘텐츠 산업에서 활용될 수 있음을 확인하였다.

Fuel rods using in nuclear power plants consist of uranium dioxide pellets enclosed in zirconium alloy(zircaloy) tubes. It is vitally important for the pellet surface to remain free from pits, cracks and chipping defects after it is loaded into the tubes to prevent local hot spots during reactor operation. This paper investigates the feasibility study for detecting surface flaws of pellets contained within nuclear fuel rod through X-ray tomography simulation. Reconstructed images used by parallel and fan-beam filtered back projection method were presented and confirmed the accessibility between simulation data and MPS(missing pellet surface) image data.

대부분의 다면체 모델 데이터의 표면과 지리 정보 시스템을 위한 지형 데이터는 삼각 분할을 통하여 만들어진 불규칙 삼각형 네트웍(Triangulated Irregular Network:TIN) 구조를 가지고 있다. 대용량 TIN 데이터를 그래픽스 시스템에서 빠르게 시각화 하는데는 많은 어려움이 있으므로, 일반적으로 TIN 데이터의 특징을 이용하여 압축된 데이터를 이용한다. 그러나 압축한 TIN 데이터는 부분적인 수정과 같은 연산을 수행하기 위하여 전체 데이터를 디코딩하고 다시 인코딩하는 과정을 반복하여 수행하므로 이같은 연산이 자주 발생하는 응용분야에는 부적합하다. 본 논문은 이러한 문제의 해결방안으로 삼각형 메쉬를 삼각형 스트립으로 재구성 한 후에 이 삼각형 스트립을 정점 체인과 각 정점의 차수 정보를 이용하는 저장하는 압축 알고리즘과 함께 이 알고리즘이 부분적인 불규칙 삼각망 수정에 유용하게 적용될 수 있음을 제시한다. 제안된 알고리즘은 각각의 정점 체인이 독립적으로 인코딩 가능하므로 불규칙 삼각망 정보를 수정할 경우 최소한의 인코딩과 디코딩으로 불규칙 삼각망을 수정할 수 있다.

Vessel boundary detection and modeling is a difficult but a necessary task in analyzing the mechanics of inflammation and the structure of the microvasculature. In this paper we present a method of analyzing the structure by means of an active contour model(using GVF Snake) for vessel boundary detection and 3D reconstruction. For this purpose we used a virtual vessel model and produced a phantom model. From these phantom images we obtained the contours of the vessel by GVF Snake and then reconstructed a 3D structure by using the coordinates of snakes.

The main objective of this study is to estimate location and strength of sound sources distributed on the surface of an enclosure. Acoustic holography method has been used to identify the sources in an interior sound field. However, it can not completely distinguish between the direct sound field from sources and the reflections from surfaces. The method just reconstructs the entire sound field based on the sound pressure at the finite number of measurement points. In this stduy, a method which estimates only the active sources by using measurements of field pressure and surface admittance is proposed. An in-situ technique to estimate the general boundary condition is also proposed by using acoustic holography, assuming the surfaces are locally reacting.
