Automatic fingerprint identification is a process of direction extraction, binarization, thinning, minutiae extraction of fingerprint identification. In this process, binarization after direction extraction affects a process of thinning and minutiae extraction. The fasle binarization is increased the false minutiae extraction rate. In this paper, we proposed more exact minutiae extraction algorithm with more enhanced binarization method, compared with traditional binarization process. We could have more enhanced results by using the direction and the half distance between ridges as the threshold of binarization process. In an experiment, Fingerprint images from NIST DBI are tested and the result shows that the proposed binarization algorithm increases minutiae extraction.

동영상 정보는 압축율을 높이기 위해 서로 연관성이 깊고, 정확한 의미 전달을 위해 지연 민감한 데이터로 구성된다. 이와 같은 동영상 데이터를 다양한 대역폭 변화율, 전송중의 높은 패킷 손실율의 특성을 갖는 인터넷을 통해서 전송하기 위해서는 대역폭 적응적이고 에러강인성(Error Resilience)이 높은 시스템이 필요하다. ISO/IEC 의 MPEG-4 에서는 FGS(Fine Grannular scalability)를 표준으로 채택하여 이러한 문제점의 해결방안으로 삼고 있다. FGS 는 기존의 적응적 비디오 코딩의 개념을 적응적 비디오 컨텐츠로 바꾸면서 낮은 복잡도로 대역폭에 적응이 용이하여 다수의 다양한 망 사용자를 모두 만족시킬 수 있어 VoD 나 화상회의 등의 응용에 적합한 기술이라 할 수 있다. 또 인터넷에서 예측하기 어렵게 자주 발생하는 패킷 손실에 대한 오류전파(Error Propagation)가 없는 장점을 가지고 있다. 고용량의 영상 데이터를 다수의 사용자가 동시에 요구하게 되는 상황에서 네트워크 자원을 절약하는 멀티캐스트(Multicast)는 필수적이다. 그리고 비디오와 같은 정보는 그 중요도가 다른 데이터로 구성되므로 특정 상황에서 중요도에 따라 지능적인 처리를 필요로 하는데 차세대 망 기술로 연구되는 Active Network 를 고려 할 수 있다. 영상 정보를 효율적이고 안정적으로 활용하기 위한 이러한 신기술의 효율적인 적용방안을 제안하였다.

이동통신 채널과 같이 에러 발생율이 높은 환경에서 부호화된 비디오를 전송할 때 채널에어에 손상된 비트스트림은 복호되기 어려울 뿐만 아니라, 비트스트림의 다른 부분으로까지 에러를 전파시킨다. 한 프레임에 손실블록이 있을 때 기존방법에서는 주변블록들의 움직임벡터 평균을 구하거나 비슷한 예측을 통해 손실블록의 움직임벡터를 복원한다. 그러나 손실블록이 움직이는 객체의 경계부근에서 발생할 때 기존방법은 효율적이지 못한다. 따라서 제안 알고리즘은 기존방법보다 정확한 움직임벡터를 예측하기 위해 손실블록의 주변블록들 중세서 동일한 움직임을 갖는 블록들로 구성된 영역을 찾은 후, 동일움직임영역에 포함된 블록들의 움직임벡터를 이용하여 손실된 블록을 복원한다. 실험결과 제안방법이 기존방법에 비해 PSNR과 시각적인 화질면에서 우수한 성능을 보임을 알 수 있다.

Electronic speckle pattern interferometry(ESPI) using a CW laser, a video system and an image processor were applied to the in-plane displacement measurements. Unlike traditional strain gauges or Moire method, ESPI method requires no special surface preparation or attachments and it can be measured in-plane displacement without any contact and real time. In this experiment, specimen was loaded in paralled with a loa cell. The specimen was plance to which strain gauges was attached. The study provides an example of how ESPI have been used to measure displacement and strain distribution in this specimen. The results measured by ESPI were compared with the data which were measured by strain gauge method in tensile testing.

Abstract Perspective views provide a powerful depth cue and thus aid the interpretation of complicated images. The main drawback of current perspective volume rendering is the long execution time. In this paper, we present an efficient perspective volume rendering algorithm based on coherency between rays. Two sets of templates are built for the rays cast from horizontal and vertical scanlines in the intermediate image which is parallel to one of volume faces. Each sample along a ray is calculated by interpolating neighboring voxels with the pre-computed weights in the templates. We also solve the problem of uneven sampling rate due to perspective ray divergence by building more templates for the regions far away from a viewpoint. Since our algorithm operates in object-order, it can avoid redundant access to each voxel and exploit spatial data coherency by using run-length encoded volume. Experimental results show that the use of templates and the object-order processing with run-length encoded volume provide speedups, compared to the other approaches. Additionally, the image quality of our algorithm improves by solving uneven sampling rate due to perspective ray di vergence.

This paper introduces an analysis method to predicting the flow characteristic of flow field around otter board In order to develope a high performance model. In this experiment, it is used a numerical analysis of flow field through CFD(Computational Fluid Dynamic), PIV method in which quantitative, qualitative evaluation is possible. In this experiment, it is used PIV method with flow filed image around otter board in order to analysis of flow characteristic. The result compared flow pattern with analysis result through CFD and also measurement result of lift and drag force coefficient carried out in CWC(Circulating Water Channel). The numerical analysis result is matched well with experiment result of PIV in the research and it is able to verify In the physical aspect. The result is as follows ; (1) It was carried out visibility experiment using laser light sheet, and picture analysis through PIV method in order to analysis fluid field of otter-board. As a result, the tendency of qualitative fluid movement only through the fluid particle's flow could be known. (2) Since PIV analysis result is quantitative, this can be seen in velocity vector distributions, instantaneous streamline contour, and average vorticity distributions through various post processing method. As a result, the change of flow field could be confirmed. (3) At angle of attack 24$^{\circ}$ where It Is shown maximum spreading force coefficient, the analysis result of CFD and PIV had very similar flow pattern. In both case, at the otter-board post edge a little boundary layer separation was seen, but, generally they had a good flow (4) As the result of post processing with velocity vector distributions, instantaneous streamline contour and average vorticity distributions by PIV, boundary layer separation phenomenon started to happen from angle of attack 24$^{\circ}$, and from over angle of attack 28$^{\circ}$, it happen at leading edge side with the width enlarged.

The strength properties of wooden model retaining wall made of pitch pine (Pinus rigida Miller) was evaluated. Three different types of wooden model retaining wall were made of the 11cm square timber treated with CUAZ-2 (Copper Azole). The retaining wall was made into the 4 layers of crossbar and the 3 layers of vertical-bar, of which the size was 86 cm high, 200 cm long and 96 cm wide. Type I was control and in Type II 20 cm vertical-bars and 93 cm vertical-bars were arranged alternately to decrease wood usage. TypeIII was similar to TypeII except that the connection between crossbars was reinforced with the wooden armature. In each type, the strength properties of retaining wall were investigated by horizontal loading test and the deformation of structure by image processing (AICON 3D DPA-PRO system). In horizontal loading test of Type I, Type II and Type III was 63.17, 57.80, and 60.97 kN/m, respectively. The deformation of the top layer in Type II was 1.5 times larger than in Type I and Type III. Consequently, the economic efficiency and strength performance were better in Type III than in Type I and Type II.
