A fast gamma-ray dose rate assessment method for complex geometries based on stylized model reconstruction and point-kernel method is proposed in this paper. The complex three-dimensional (3D) geometries are imported as a 3DS format file from 3dsMax software with material and radiometric attributes. Based on 3D stylized model reconstruction of solid mesh, the 3D-geometrical solids are automatically converted into stylized models. In point-kernel calculation, the stylized source models are divided into point kernels and the mean free paths (mfp) are calculated by the intersections between shield stylized models and tracing ray. Compared with MCNP, the proposed method can implement complex 3D geometries visually, and the dose rate calculation is accurate and fast.

This paper presents an improved maximum power point tracking method that can fast track the global maximum power point (GMPP) for a photovoltaic system under partial shading conditions. The proposed method combines the advantages of the maximum power trapezium (MPT) method and the search-skip-judge method to minimize the tracking voltage intervals. Thus, the proposed method can quickly track the GMPP by skipping unnecessary tracking voltage intervals. The superiority of the proposed method is verified through simulation results in the MATLAB/Simulink and experimental real-time operation results with the hardware-in-the-loop simulation. The simulation and experimental results demonstrated that the proposed method has a faster tracking time than the MPT method under various partial shading conditions.

In this study, we proposed a new approach to segment ground and nonground points gained from a 3D laser range sensor. The primary aim of this research was to provide a fast and effective method for ground segmentation. In each frame, we divide the point cloud into small groups. All threshold points and start-ground points in each group are then analyzed. To determine threshold points we depend on three features: gradient, lost threshold points, and abnormalities in the distance between the sensor and a particular threshold point. After a threshold point is determined, a start-ground point is then identified by considering the height difference between two consecutive points. All points from a start-ground point to the next threshold point are ground points. Other points are nonground. This process is then repeated until all points are labelled.

포인트 클라우드 콘텐츠는 3차원 포인트로 실제 객체를 나타내는 몰입형 콘텐츠이다. 포인트 클라우드 데이터를 획득하거나 포인트 클라우드 데이터를 인코딩 및 디코딩하는 과정에서 포인트 클라우드 콘텐츠의 해상도가 저하될 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 프레임 간 정합을 통해 순차적으로 포인트 클라우드 콘텐츠의 해상도를 점진적으로 향상시키는 방법을 제안한다. 포인트 클라우드 데이터를 정합하기 위해 ICP(Iterative Closest Point) 알고리즘이 일반적으로 사용된다. 기존 ICP 알고리즘은 강체를 변환할 수 있지만 포인트 클라우드 콘텐츠와 같이 로컬에서 서로 다른 방향으로 모션 벡터를 갖는 비 강체에 대해서는 변환이 불가능하다는 단점이 있다. 현재 프레임의 포인트 클라우드와 이전 프레임 사이의 포인트를 쌍을 만들고 만들어진 쌍의 움직임양을 계산하여 보상해주는 방법으로 기존 ICP 정합에서의 한계를 극복하였다. 이러한 방식으로 프레임 사이에 포인트를 정합하는 과정을 통해 기하학적 움직임이 있는 포인트 클라우드 콘텐츠의 해상도가 향상됨을 보였다.

In this study, we propose a frequency domain spectral element method (SEM) for the vibration analysis of a multi-span beam subjected to a moving point force. This study is an extension of the authors' previous study for a single-span beam subjected to a moving point force, where the two-element model-based SEM was applied. In this study, each span of a multi-span beam is represented by the Timoshenko beam model and the moving point force is transformed into the frequency domain as a series of each stationary point force distributed on the multi-span beam. The span at which a stationary point force is located is represented by two-element model, but all other spans are represented by one-element models. The vibration responses to a moving point force are obtained by superposing all individual vibration responses generated by each stationary point force. The high accuracy and computational efficiency of the proposed SEM are verified by comparing the solutions by SEM with exact analytical solutions by the integral transform method (ITM) as well as the solutions by the finite element method (FEM).

Reverse engineering technology refers to the process that creates a CAD model of an existing part using measuring devices. Recently, non-contact scanning devices have become more accurate and the speed of data acquisition has increased drastically. However, they generate thousands of points per second and various types of point data. Therefore, it becomes a major issue to handle the huge amount and various types of point data. To generate a CAD model from scanned point data efficiently, these point data should be well arranged through point data handling processes such as data reduction and segmentation. This paper proposes a new point data handling method using 3D grids. The geometric information of a part is extracted from point cloud data by estimating normal values of the points. The non-uniform 3D grids for data reduction and segmentation are generated based on the geometric information. Through these data reduction and segmentation processes, it is possible to create CAD models autmatically and efficiently. The proposed method is applied to two quardric medels and the results are discussed.

Point cloud is widely used in 3D applications due to the recent advancement of 3D data acquisition technology. Polygonal mesh-based compression has been dominant since it can replace many points sharing a surface with a set of vertices with mesh structure. Recent point cloud-based applications demand more point-based interactivity, which makes point cloud compression (PCC) becomes more attractive than 3D mesh compression. Interestingly, an exploration activity has been started to explore the feasibility of PCC standard in MPEG. In this paper, a new color attribute compression method is presented for point cloud data. The proposed method utilizes the spatial redundancy among color attribute data to construct a color palette. The color palette is constructed by using K-means clustering method and each color data in point cloud is represented by the index of its similar color in palette. To further improve the compression efficiency, the spatial redundancy between the indices of neighboring colors is also removed by marking them using a flag bit. Experimental results show that the proposed method achieves a better improvement of RD performance compared with that of the MPEG PCC reference software.

본 연구에서는 닭진드기에 감염된 산란계 농장을 대상으로 3point 5score 현미경 모니터링 방법을 이용하여 방제 골든타임(golden time)과 충란제거제를 결합한 닭진드기 종합방제법(Integrated Pest Management; IPM)의 효과를 조사하기 위해 수행되었다. 처리구는 닭진드기에 감염된 총 8개 산란계 농장을 바탕으로 1) 닭진드기 종합방제법을 이용한 농가 그리고 2) 일반적인 닭진드기 방제법을 이용한 농가로 2가지 처리구로 구분하였다. 또한, 농가의 닭진드기 오염도는 3point 5score 현미경 모니터링 방법을 이용하여 평가하였다. 그 결과, 산란계 농장에 대한 IPM 적용의 유무에 따른 청소 및 소독 전, 후 그리고 4주부터 20주까지의 score는 유의적인 차이를 보이지 않았다(P>0.05). 하지만, 24주에는 IPM을 적용한 농가가 IPM을 적용하지 않은 농가보다 유의적으로 낮은(P<0.05) Score를 보였다. 따라서 본 연구의 결과를 바탕으로, 3point 5score 현미경 모니터링 방법으로 지속적인 모니터링과 보완과 함께 충란제거제를 포함한 IPM을 이용하여 닭진드기를 제어하는 것은 궁극적으로 목표로 하는 닭진드기의 감염률을 감소시키는 데 효과적인 것으로 판단된다.

Efficient finite element method has been introduced for metallic sandwich plates subject to 3-point bending. A full model 3-point bending FE-analysis shows that plastic behavior of inner structures appears only at the load point. So, Unit structures of sandwich plates are defined to numerically calculate the bending stiffness with recurrent boundary condition of pure bending. And then equivalent models with same bending stiffness and strength of full models are designed analytically. It is demonstrated that results of both models are almost same and FE analysis method with equivalent models can reduce analysis time effectively.

This paper presents a fuzzy set method to enforce complementarity constraints (CCs) in a nonlinear interior point method (NIPM)-based optimization. NIPM is a Newton-type approach to nonlinear programming problems, but it adopts log-barrier functions to deal with the obstacle of managing inequality constraints. The fuzzy-enforcement method has been implemented for CCs, which can be incorporated in optimization problems for real-world applications. In this paper, numerical simulations that apply this method to power system optimal power flow problems are included.
