In the case of failure images with controlling lighting like backlighting and excessive frontlinghting, the compensation scheme for a specific area in an image is required. The interested region is first selected by user in our method to compensate the first frame. Then we define the matching function of brightness and energy function is proposed with weight of matching function and the relationship among the neighbors. Finally, the energy is minimized by the graph-cut algorithm to compensate the brightness of the first frame. Other frames are straightforwardly compensated using the results of the first frame. The brightness variations of the previous frame is transmitted to the next frame via motion vectors. The reliability of the brightness variation is calculated based on the motion vector reliability. Video compensation result is achieved by the process of the image case. Simulation show that the proposed algorithm provides more natural results than the conventional algorithms.

최근 들어서는 지구환경보호와 에너지자원 고갈의 위기감 속에 에너지절약기기의 니즈가 급속하게 가속화되고 있다. 산업분야에서의 에너지절약기기로서는 고효율모터나 인버터가 사용되고 있는데 아직 이들 기기의 보급률은 낮은 실정이다. 점차 에너지절약기기에 대한 관심이 높아 가는 가운데, 한편 산업용전력 사용량의 약 70$\%$를 모터가 차지하고 있다고 알려지고 있으며 모터 유닛의 손실 삭감으로 큰 에너지절약 효과를 기대할 수 있기 때문에 3상모터의 고효율화 요구와 인버터구동에 의한 에너지절약니즈가 급속히 퍼지고 있다. 3상모터의 에너지절약 니즈에는 위험지구(폭발성 분위기) 안에서 사용되는 용도도 많아 이와 같은 위험장소에서 사용되는 방폭전기기기에서는 1993년의 국제규격(IEC 규격)에 정합(整合)된 신JIS 방폭규격의 발행으로 정전의 일본독자적인 방폭규격은 폐지되고 이 새로운 JIS 방폭규격에의 통합 움직임이 있었다. 미쓰비시전기는 이와 같은 동향에 대응하기 위하여 고성능$\cdot$에너지절약 모터 ''수퍼라인 에코시리즈''로서 고효율 시리즈, 인버터구동 전용토크 시리즈, 신JIS방폭규격대응 안전증(安全增) 방폭형 시리즈를 제품화하였다. 수퍼라인 에코시리즈는 동사 독자의 강판프레임을 사용하여 철저한 저손실 설계의 채택으로 업계 톱클래스의 고효율$\cdot$에너지절약을 실현하였다. 인버터구동에 최적한 특성, 내환경성의 강화와 베어링의 장수명화에 의한 장기(長期) 메인터넌스프리화 및 저소음$\cdot$저진동화를 실현한 고성능모터이다.

At present, in the case of small and medium window manufacturers in South Korea, glazing and window frame manufacturers are divided into separate businesses. However, in the fenestration energy consumption efficiency rating system and the energy-saving design criteria for buildings, the coefficient of overall heat transmission standard for windows is defined by window sets, which integrate glazing and window frames. At most construction sites, windows are constructed by installing separately supplied glass and frames. Research that can integrate the reality and the system is therefore necessary. The present study first investigated and analyzed the on-site situation of the fenestration energy consumption efficiency rating system. According to the results, while overall understanding of the fenestration energy consumption efficiency rating system was high, satisfaction with it was low, and the general practice at construction sites was to use windows assembled on site rather than integrated window systems manufactured at factories, thus making it difficult to confirm that the current rating system was well applied on site. Consequently, the reality of industrial sites must be reviewed and a realistic alternative to the fenestration energy consumption efficiency rating system must be presented instead of focusing on theory.

The snake algorithm is widely adopted to track objects by extracting the active contour of the object from background. However, it fails to track the target converging to the background if there exists background whose gradient is greater than that of the pixels on the contour. Also, the contour may shrink when the target moves fast and the snake algorithm misses the boundary of the object in its searching window. To alleviate these problems, we propose an improved algorithm that can track object contour more robustly. Firstly, we propose two external energy functions, the edge energy and the contrast energy. One is designed to give more weight to the gradient on the boundary and the other to reflect the contrast difference between the object and background. Secondly, by computing the motion vector of the contour from the difference of the two consecutive frames, we can move the snake pointers of the previous frame near the region where the object boundary is probable at the current frame. Computer experiments show that the proposed method is more robust to the complicated background than the previously known methods and can track the object with fast movement.

In this paper, we propose a construction technique of two-level composite gradient map to automatically track a face with large movement in successive frames. Our method is composed of three main steps. First, the gradient maps with two-level resolution are generated for fast convergence of active contour. Second, to recognize the variations of face between successive frames and remove the neighbor background, weighted composite gradient map is generated by combining the composite gradient map and difference mask of previous and current frames. Third, to prevent active contour from converging local minima, the energy slope is generated by using closing operation. In addition, the fast closing operation is proposed to accelerate the processing time of closing operation. For performance evaluation, we compare our method with previous active contour model-based face tracking methods using a visual inspection, robustness test and processing time. Experimental results show that our method can effectively track the face with large movement and robustly converge to the optimal position even in frames with complicated background.

The noise of a compressor is a major contributor to overall noise radiated from the refrigerator. The major source of the noise is radiated by the vibration of the compressor shell. In this study, to identify the dynamic characteristics of compressor shell, a compressor shell is divided into several components and these are analyzed with a commercial FEM(Finite Element Method) package such as MSC/NASTRAN. Using substructure synthesis method, the dynamic characteristics of the total system is identified. The coherence of each component to the total system is computed by using strain and kinetic energy. To increase the frequency of the first resonance mode which is most effective mode to the noise of the compressor shell, the improving strategy of dynamic characteristics is suggested by changing mass and stiffness of the coherence component to the first mode.

We study through computational simulation the focal performance of an infrared (IR) Fresnel lens, composed of a multilayer-graphene zone plate formed under a graphene electrode. Here the Fermi level E_F of the patterned multilayer graphene is adjusted by the overlying graphene electrode. The Fresnel lens effect, with respect to the reflectance contrast between the graphene electrode and the 8-layer graphene zone plate placed on a glass substrate, has been analyzed over a broad wavelength range from 4 to 30 ㎛. As the optimal wavelength of 8 ㎛ (considering the reflectance and the reflectance-contrast ratio) is incident upon the Fresnel lens with a focal length of 240 ㎛, the focal intensity is enhanced by a factor of 4.3 as the E_F of multilayer graphene increases from 0.4 eV to 1.6 eV, and is improved by a factor of 5.8 as the number of graphene layers increases from two to eight. As a result, an all-graphene-based IR Fresnel zone-plate lens, exhibiting multifocal function (240 ㎛ and 360 ㎛) according to the selected E_F, is proposed as an ultrathin lens platform.

This paper is to propose an encryption method for only an allowed user to see the content for a digital hologram, that is a high value-added content. This paper uses a characteristic of Fresnel transform that the object region is concentrated to a relatively small part of the diffraction plane. By encrypting the concentrated part only the region to be encrypted and in turn the amount of data to be encrypted is reduced a lot, which results in an high efficiency with low encryption rate. As the methodology, a digital hologram is first Fresnel transformed for reconstruction and the result is secondly Fresnel transformed to concentrate the energy into the center of the diffraction plane to encrypt the concentrated region only. For the 2nd transform, energy concentration degree is determined by adjusting the diffraction distance and encryption strength is determined by adjusting the scaling factor. For this we analyze the optimal encryption area according to the diffraction distance and the scaling factor. When applying the proposed method with diffraction distance of 20m the object information was visually unrecognizable with the encryption ratio only 0.005% ~ 0.02%.

This paper presents a regionalized time slotted channel hopping (TSCH) slotframe-based aerial data collection using wake-up radio. The proposed scheme aims to minimize the delay and energy consumption when an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) collects data from sensor devices in the large-scale service area. To this end, the proposed scheme divides the service area into multiple regions, and determines the TSCH slotframe length for each region according to the number of cells required by sensor devices in each region. Then, it allocates the cells dedicated for data transmission to the TSCH slotframe using the ID of each sensor device. For energy-efficient data collection, the sensor devices use a wake-up radio. Specifically, the sensor devices use a wake-up radio to activate a network interface only in the cells allocated for beacon reception and data transmission. The simulation results showed that the proposed scheme exhibited better performance in terms of delay and energy consumption compared to the existing scheme.
