Under controlled environment, such as fixed viewpoints or consistent illumination, the performance of face recognition is usually high enough to be acceptable nowadays. Face recognition is, however, a still challenging task in real world. SIFT(Scale Invariant Feature Transformation) algorithm is scale and rotation invariant, which is powerful only in the case of small viewpoint changes. However, it often fails when viewpoint of faces changes in wide range. In this paper, we use Affine SIFT (Scale Invariant Feature Transformation; ASIFT) to detect affine invariant local descriptors for face recognition under wide viewpoint changes. The ASIFT is an extension of SIFT algorithm to solve this weakness. In our scheme, ASIFT is applied only to gallery face, while SIFT algorithm is applied to probe face. ASIFT generates a series of different viewpoints using affine transformation. Therefore, the ASIFT allows viewpoint differences between gallery face and probe face. Experiment results showed our framework achieved higher recognition accuracy than the original SIFT algorithm on FERET database.

This paper deals with the FEM analysis of nonlinear sloshing of incompressible, invicid and irrotational flow in two dimensional rectangular tank. We use laplace equation based on potential theory as governing equation. For large amplitude sloshing motion, kinematic and dynamic free surface conditions derived from Bernoulli equation are applied. This problem is solved by FEM using 9-node elements. For the time integration and accurate velocity calculation, we introduce predictor-corrector time marching scheme and least square method. Also, numerical stability in tracking of free surface is obtained by direct calculation of free surface location to time variation. Numerical results of sloshing induced by harmonic excitations, while comparing with those of linear theory and references, prove the accuracy and stability. After verification of our program, we analyze sloshing response characteristics to the fluid height and the excitation amplitude.

This study was conducted to compare the particulate removal efficiency of the developed diesel particulate filter using various measurement methods in a high-speed marine diesel engine. A four-stroke mechanical marine diesel engine is used for the test, which has a maximum output of 403 kW and is coupled to an AC dynamometer to control engine speed and load. The test was conducted based on four steady-state engine operating conditions of E3 engine test cycle for the measurement of PM and soot removal efficiency using partial dilution method considered as gravimetric method and filter smoke number method as light absorption method, respectively. As a result of the removal efficiency measurement according to the application of diesel particulate filter, particulate matter was reduced from 76% to 91% and the soot was reduced by more than 90% while meeting the permissible engine back pressure. From these results, the applicability of diesel particulate filter adopted in high-speed marine diesel engines could be confirmed. In addition, based on the result that the particulate removal efficiency varies with different measurement methods, the necessity of unification of these methods could be identified.

This study was conducted to investigate the changes in the structural parts of the craniofacial skeleton subsequent to chincap therapy in the juvenile skeletal Class III patients. The subject consisted of 29 Korean children(14 males, 15 females) who had skeletal Class III malocclusion and were undergone chincap therapy from the beginning of the treatment (and an auxilliary upper removable appliance, if necessary). The control group was composed of 21 children(10 males, 11 females) with skeletal Class III malocclusion who had no orthodontic treatment. Cephalometric data at the mean age of 7 and 2 years later were analyized by finite element method, and compared between groups by independent group t-test(p<0.05). The results of the present study were as follows; 1. There were no significant changes in the cranial base, posterior face, upper anterior face, ramus, chin and soft tissues by the chincap therapy. 2. The mandibular body showed significant differences in the minimum extention ratio and the overall shape ratio. This means that the vertical direction of growth was retarded by the chincap therapy. 3. The major direction of the growth in the maxillary basal bone was significantly more horizontal in the experimental group, which suggests that the vertical growth of maxilla was inhibited. 4. There was statistical difference in the major direction of the growth of the anterior face between groups. This may be due to the significant difference in the major direction of growth of the lower anterior face, supposed to be resulted from the mandibular rotation and/or displacement by the chincap therapy. The change in the oral functional space seemed to be caused by the same reason. 5. From the standpoint of these results, the retardation of growth, the changes of the growth direction and the morphological changes could be accepted partly, but the major effect of the chincap seems to be the rotation and the displacement of the mandible.

The purpose of this study is to explore the occupational personality required for high school graduates and to develop a scale to measure them objectively. In order to achieve the purpose of the study, this study constituted the delphi committee composed of the teacher group and the industrial personnel group. Afterwards, Delphi survey was conducted twice, and it was found that 12 jobs such as sincerity and honesty were related to occupational personality. As a result of the development of the scale based on the previous research and the expert group interview, 12 factors and 116 scales were developed for the pre - occupational personality test tool. In order to verify the validity and reliability of the developed preliminary test tool, we conducted a questionnaire survey of 700 students of vocational high school, and 514 questionnaires were used for final analysis. Parallel analysis was performed to determine the number of factors before exploratory factor analysis. As a result, eight factors were found to be appropriate. As a result of exploratory factor analysis using the 'maximum likelihood method' and 'direct oblimin rotation method', 78 items of 8 factors were found appropriate. However, in order to confirm whether the item reflects the contents of the factors, we conducted a content validity test for the expert group. As a result, feedback was obtained that 19 items were irrelevant or inadequate. Therefore, the validity of the existing job personality test tool and the modified job personality test tool were verified through confirmatory factor analysis. As a result, the fitness of the revised test tool was higher and the fitness level was generally good.

자동차 운반용 선박(PCTC) 건조 시, 자동차를 고정시키기 위해 약 5 만 여개의 Lashing Socket(6,700 Units PCTC 기준)이 소요되는데, 이때 사용되는 Lashing Socket 은 용도 및 형태에 따라 Hole Cup, Flush Cloverleaf Type Pot, Raised Cloverleaf Type Pot, D-Ring, Crinkle Bar 등으로 구분된다. 이와 같이 다양한 종류 중에서 Hole cup 타입이 전체 적용되는 Lashing Socket 의 약 80%에 이른다. 기존에 사용되고 있는 자동용접장치는 Hole Cup 이외에는 적용이 불가능하고, 자석을 이용하여 Hole Cup 의 상부에 위치시키는 방식이었기 때문에 경량화 및 다양한 종류 및 크기의 Lashing Socket 에 적용이 가능한 자동용접장비의 개발이 요구되었다. 본 연구에서는 두께가 다른 $\phi$140 Hole Cup 및 Flush Cloverleaf Type Pot, Raised Cloverleaf Type Pot 에 적용 가능하며, 분리형 용접캐리지와 Centering Template, Magnet Jig 로 구성된 연속 및 단속 용접이 가능한 자동용접장치를 연구 개발하였다. 이를 통해 종래 Hole Cup 전용 자동용접 캐리지의 문제점을 개선하여, 작업자가 Centering Template 과 Magnetic Jig 을 이용하여 캐리지를 Hole Cup 의 중앙에 위치시키기 용이하게 하였다. 이 같은 분리형 장치 구성을 통해 Hole Cup 중앙에 캐리지 고정 작업과 용접 작업을 분리함으로써 자동용접이 진행되는 도중에 여분의 Jig를 이용하여 다른 Hole Cup 에 용접 준비를 하여 연속적인 작업이 가능하도록 하였다. 본 연구는 종래의 Hole Cup 전용 자동용접 캐리지의 문제점을 개선한 분리형 용접 캐리지를 개발함으로써 아래와 같은 결과를 얻었다. 1. 용접 캐리지를 포함하여 각 부분별 분리를 통해 작업자가 1 회 이동 시 필요로 하는 중량을 감소시켜 장비의 이동 및 제어가 쉽다. 2. Magnetic Jig 를 Centering Template 에 결합하고, Template 의 Jig 를 Lashing Socket 에 결합함으로써 손쉽게 Lashing Socket 의 중심부를 찾을 수 있으므로 용접 캐리지의 정확한 센터 고정이 가능하다. 3. 엔코더에 의한 1 회전을 검출함으로써, 작업 종료 후, 어떤 위치에서나 작업 재개가 가능하며 원점 복귀 작업이 불필요하다. 또한 엔코더에 의한 거리 설정으로 용접 속도에 상관없이 동일한 거리만큼 오버랩 용접이 가능하다. 4 디지털 방식으로 용접 조건의 입력이 가능하고, 용접 조건을 D/B 화 함으로써 Control Panel 상에서의 자동 제어가 가능하다. 이를 통해 연속 용접 또는 단속 용접이 가능하므로 다양한 형태의 Lashing Socket 을 자동 용접할 수 있는 효과가 있다. 이상의 결과를 통해 본 장비가 Fig.2 의 3 가지 종류의 Lashing Socket 용접에 효과적인 장비임을 확인할 수 있었다.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to analyze the motion of the shoulder joint dynamically through a depth sensor-based motion analysis system for the normal group and patients group with shoulder disease and to report the results along with a review of the relevant literature. Materials and Methods: Seventy subjects participated in the study and were categorized as follows: 30 subjects in the normal group and 40 subjects in the group of patients with shoulder disease. The patients with shoulder disease were subdivided into the following four disease groups: adhesive capsulitis, impingement syndrome, rotator cuff tear, and cuff tear arthropathy. Repeating abduction and adduction three times, the angle over time was measured using a depth sensor-based motion analysis system. The maximum abduction angle (θ_max), the maximum abduction angular velocity (ω_max), the maximum adduction angular velocity (ω_min), and the abduction/adduction time ratio (t_abd/t_add) were calculated. The above parameters in the 30 subjects in the normal group and 40 subjects in the patients group were compared. In addition, the 30 subjects in the normal group and each subgroup (10 patients each) according to the four disease groups, giving a total of five groups, were compared. Results: Compared to the normal group, the maximum abduction angle (θ_max), the maximum abduction angular velocity (ω_max), and the maximum adduction angular velocity (ω_min) were lower, and abduction/adduction time ratio (t_abd/t_add) was higher in the patients with shoulder disease. A comparison of the subdivided disease groups revealed a lower maximum abduction angle (θ_max) and the maximum abduction angular velocity (ω_max) in the adhesive capsulitis and cuff tear arthropathy groups than the normal group. In addition, the abduction/adduction time ratio (t_abd/t_add) was higher in the adhesive capsulitis group, rotator cuff tear group, and cuff tear arthropathy group than in the normal group. Conclusion: Through an evaluation of the shoulder joint using the depth sensor-based motion analysis system, it was possible to measure the range of motion, and the dynamic motion parameter, such as angular velocity. These results show that accurate evaluations of the function of the shoulder joint and an in-depth understanding of shoulder diseases are possible.

The Formulation of a new Hermite straight beam element to eliminate the shear locking is presented. All the kinematic variables in Timoshenko beam are reinterpreted by the consideration of equilibrium equations together. It shows that when the modified transverse displacement field is used the Timoshenko beam looks apparently the same as the Euler beam. The element is formulated for the modified transverse displacement field to have the same interpolation scheme as that in the Hermite element. Transformation Matrix which relates a modified nodal vector with nonmodified one is also introduced to deal with general boundary conditions. Several examples are demonstrated and discussed for the purpose of verification of the concepts employed. The solutions obtained reveal that the element describes of the beam quite correctly, showing no locking and that it is also applicable to the analysis of both thin and thick beams.

As various interfacing devices for computational machines are being developed, a new HCI method using hand motion input is introduced. This interface method is a vision-based approach using a single camera for detecting and tracking hand movements. In the previous researches, only a skin color is used for detecting and tracking hand location. However, in our design, skin color and shape information are collectively considered. Consequently, detection ability of a hand increased. we proposed primary orientation edge descriptor for getting an edge information. This method uses only one hand model. Therefore, we do not need training processing time. This system consists of a detecting part and a tracking part for efficient processing. In tracking part, the system is quite robust on the orientation of the hand. The system is applied to recognize a hand written number in script style using DNAC algorithm. Performance of the proposed algorithm reaches 82% recognition ratio in detecting hand region and 90% in recognizing a written number in script style.

The diagnosis of Inter Turn Short Circuits (ITSC) in induction motors is critical due to the escalating severity of faults resulting from even minor disruptions in the stator windings. However, diagnosing ITSC presents significant challenges due to similarities in noise and losses shared with 3-phase induction motors. Although artificial intelligence techniques have been explored for efficient diagnosis, practical applications heavily rely on model-based methods, necessitating further research to enhance diagnostic performance. This study proposed a diagnostic method applied the Clarke Transformation approach, focusing solely on current components while disregarding changes in rotating flux. Experimental results conducted over a 30-minute period, encompassing both normal and ITSC conditions, demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed approach, with FAR(False Accept Rates) of 0.2% for normal-to-ITSC FRR(False Rejection Rates) and 0.26% for ITSC-to-normal FRR. These findings underscore the efficacy of the proposed approach.
