In this study, we introduced image processing technic to measure shape variations of general bodies and applied it to the flexible yacht sail. Shape measurements of simple bodies sails were carried out and results showed that technic can be a reliable method to measure shape variations of the flexible yacht sail. The sail shape variation of 30ft sloop type yacht sail is measured on different sailing conditions. As velocity and direction of wind are increased, trailing edges in the upper part of the sail become more open than the lower part of the sail which are not changed. So it is confirmed that the shape measurement of a sail shape depending on a sailing condition is possible to use image processing scheme.

We introduces a development result of semi-automatic karyotyping system using image processing method to improve a long time working of the manual method and 5% error of traditional automatic karyotying system for analyzing karyotying. The karyotyping procedures have many routine tasks such as searching metaphases, taking pictures, developing, editing, etc. There are several automatic karyotyping systems in order to reduce the task in advanced countries. However, they are very expensive, applicable to only human chromosome, and have too many functions to use easily. This paper takes aim at high quality image resolution and development of interface that can adjust brightness and contrast of image on-line. The system can be applied to animal and plants as well as human's chromosome. The system developed in this paper is applied to pig and human. The effectiveness of the system is proved by hospitals in Korea.

화상회의 및 인터넷폰을 목적으로 개발된 G.723.1은 CELP계열 보코더와 같이 화자의 개성정보를 위해 피치를 전송하고 있다. 하지만 안정구간과 비 안정구간의 차이를 두지 않고 처리를 하기 때문에 비 안정구간, 특히 전이구간에서 정확한 피치검출이 이루어지지 않는 이유로 음질의 열하가 발생하게 된다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 한 프레임 구간에서 에너지의 기울기로 대략적인 피치이득을 구한 다음 안정구간일 때와 프레임 내의 에너지의 기울기가 문턱 값을 넘을 때에는 기존의 방법으로 피치를 구하고 그런지 않은 경우에는 에너지를 조정하여 피치를 다시 구하는 방법을 사용하였다. 실제 음성시료에 대해 기존의 방법과 제안한 방법을 비교하기 위해 SegSNR 과 MOS를 비교하였을 때 각각 1.302(dB)와 평균 0.045 MOS가 향상되었다.

Thermochromic liquid crystal reflect a unique color at even temperature. Therefore, they have been successfully applied to non-intrusive heat transfer research. Hue capturing method is widely used in the quantitative measurement from the TLC image. However it is affected by several measurement conditions. The distances of camera and light source have little influence on the color, but the value of hue is seriously affected by the measurement angle. In this study, the hue capturing method is improved by considering the effect of measurement angle. This improved calibration method can diminish the misreading of temperature caused by curvature of test surface.

Today advanced traffic management systems are required because of a high increase in traffic demand. Accordingly, the objective of this study is to take advantage of image processing systems and present image processing methods available for collection of the data on traffic characteristics, and then to investigate the possibility of traffic flow analysis by means of comparison and analysis of measured traffic flow. Data were collected at two places of Daegu city and Kyongbu expressway by using VTR. Rear view (down stream) and frontal view (up stream) methods were employed to compare and analyze traffic characteristics including traffic volume, speed, time-headway, time-occupancy, and vehicle-length, by analysis of measured traffic flow and image processing respectively. Judging from the results obtained by this study, image processing techniques are sufficient for the analysis of traffic volume, but a frame grabber equipped with high speed processor is necessary as well, with low level system judged to be sufficient for traffic volume analysis.

본 논문에서 얼굴 검출의 목적은 화상회의나 현금 자동 인출기 같이 복잡한 배경에서 압축이나 인식, 인증 등의 처리를 위해서 한 사람의 얼굴을 검출하는 데에 있다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 얼굴 검출 방법으로 스테레오와 컬러 정보를 이용한 방법을 제안하고자 한다. 제안된 방법은 크게 두 단계로 나눌 수 있는데 첫 번째 단계는 스테레오 영상으로 두개 영상의 차영상을 구해 깊이 정보를 이용하여 얼굴의 영역이 될만한 후보를 추출한다. 두번째 단계로는 후보들중에 크기가 큰 영역의 중심점에 영역성장을 하여서 얼굴 영역을 추출한다. 제안한 알고리즘을 사용한 결과 얼굴의 회전 및 표정 변화 등에 관계없이 얼굴검출을 하였다.

In order to investigate a characteristic of the behavior of spray pattern in accordance with running conditions for a DI diesel engine, the PLN Injection system with changeable revolution speed of fuel injection cam was set up, and through this, history curves of injection pressure for a similar real DI diesel engine were able to be displayed. Authors visualized and analyzed the sprays at various revolution speed of fuel injection cam, and found out that fuel distributions of the sprays in the low speed condition were bad, fuel with air was injected from the hole of nozzle at the beginning of injection, and wide spray angle at the early stage of injection became narrower with elapsed time, but wider again at the end of injection.

CALS체계에서는 한 제품의 주문으로부터 생산과 사후 관리에 이르는 전수명주기를 통합관리해야하므로 화상과 음성을 포함한 멀티미디어 정보를 교환할 수 있어야 한다. 더욱이 기존의 산업사회에서는 순차적 공정에 따른 생산방식을 적용해 왔으나, 향후 미래사회에서는 민첩한 지능형 가상기업만이 생산경쟁력을 갖출 수 있는 생산형태의 변화가 예상되어 경쟁력있는 기업모형의 변화가 뒤따를 것이며, 기업경쟁력의 우선순위는 한 품목의 생산에 소요되는 시간과 비용, 그리고 소비자의 성향에 맞는 우수한 품질이 고려된 동시공정 체제를 갖추는 것이 매우 중요한 과제로 대두될 것이다. 이러한 CALS의 성공적인 구현을 위한 기본적인 주요 요소기술은 기업업무처리 변화에 다른 업무공정의 표준화, 통합데이타베이스를 이용한 동시공정의 설계, 그리고 기업내.외의 모든 거래를 디지털 방식으로 송.수신하는 전자상거래로 대별할 수 있으며, 그중 동시공정은 기술적으로 매우 중요한 부분이라 할 수 있다. 이를 위해서는 기업내의 부서 상호간은 물론 원자재의 수급에 참여하거나 생산에 공동으로 참여하는 모든 기업들 간에 상호 정보교환이 동시에 발생할 수 있어야 하며, 이러한 다양한 정보공유자로부터 얻어지는 모든 자료를 통합관리하여 의사결정자가 신속하고 정확한 판단을 할수 있도록 지원체계를 만들어야한다. 본 연구는 이러한 CALS체계에서 동시공정 작업이 신속하게 성공적으로 수행될 수 있도록 분산된 정보들에 대한 신속한 의사결정을 지원하는 관리자에 대한 방안을 제시하고자 한다.

Voids created with concrete construction or deterioration result in serious weakness from the aspects of both structural and durable function. Ultrasonic method using image processing technique was used for detecting pattern of voids in concrete in this study Experimental investigation was carried out for three types(patterns) of void in concrete. The effect of curing period of concrete and ultrasonic measurement method was also investigated. As a result it has been verified that the semi-direct measurement method is more effective than the other methods for detecting pattern of voids in concrete in ultrasonic method using image processing technique. The longer the curing period of concrete is, the better the detection accuracy of void pattern can be obtained.
