Even though several deep learning-based methods have been applied in the field of acoustic source localization, the previous works have only been conducted using the two-dimensional representation of the beamforming maps, particularly with the planar array system. While the acoustic sources are more required to be localized in a spherical microphone array system considering that we live and hear in the 3D world, the conventional 2D equirectangular map of the spherical beamforming map is highly vulnerable to the distortion that occurs when the 3D map is projected to the 2D space. In this study, a 3D deep learning approach is proposed to fulfill accurate source localization via distortion-free 3D representation. A target function is first proposed to obtain 3D source distribution maps that can represent multiple sources' positional and strength information. While the proposed target map expands the source localization task into a point-wise prediction task, a PointNet-based deep neural network is developed to precisely estimate the multiple sources' positions and strength information. While the proposed model's localization performance is evaluated, it is shown that the proposed method can achieve improved localization results from both quantitative and qualitative perspectives.

In this paper, a novel approach for robust recognition of partially occluded 3-D target objects from computationally reconstructed integral images is proposed. The occluding object noises are selectively removed from the picked-up elemental images and performance of the proposed integral imaging-based 3-D target recognition system can be improved.

In this paper, a new 3D robot vision system using the hierarchical opto-digital algorithm is proposed and implemented. From some experimental results with the 20 frames of the stereo input image pairs, the proposed system is found to be able to effectively extract the area where the target object is located from the stereo input image regardless of the background noises.

A novel imaging system for High-resolution Ultrasonic Transmission Tomography (HUTT) and soft tissue differentiation methodology for the HUTT system are presented. The critical innovation of the HUTT system includes the use of sub-millimeter transducer elements for both transmitter and receiver arrays and multi-band analysis of the first-arrival pulse. The first-arrival pulse is detected and extracted from the received signal (i.e., snippet) at each azimuthal and angular location of a mechanical tomographic scanner in transmission mode. Each extracted snippet is processed to yield a multi-spectral vector of attenuation values at multiple frequency bands. These vectors form a 3-D sinogram representing a multi-spectral augmentation of the conventional 2-D sinogram. A filtered backprojection algorithm is used to reconstruct a stack of multi-spectral images for each 2-D tomographic slice that allow tissue characterization. A novel methodology for soft tissue differentiation using spectral target detection is presented. The representative 2-D and 3-D HUTT images formed at various frequency bands demonstrate the high-resolution capability of the system. It is shown that spherical objects with diameter down to 0.3㎜ can be detected. In addition, the results of soft tissue differentiation and characterization demonstrate the feasibility of quantitative soft tissue analysis for possible detection of lesions or cancerous tissue.

A detection system was set up to measure the neutron generation rate of a recently developed D-D neutron generator. The system is composed of a Si detector, He-3 detector, and electronics for pulse height analysis. The neutron generation rate was measured by counting protons using the Si detector, and the data was crosschecked by counting neutrons with the He-3 detector. The efficiencies of the Si and He-3 detectors were calibrated independently by using a standard alpha particle source $^{241}Am$ and a bare isotopic neutron source $^{252}Cf$, respectively. The effect of the cross-sectional difference between the D(d,p)T and $D(d,n)^3He$ reactions was evaluated for the case of a thick target. The neutron generation rate was theoretically corrected for the anisotropic emission of protons and neutrons in the D-D reactions. The attenuations of neutron on the path to the He-3 detector by the target assembly and vacuum flange of the neutron generator were considered by the Monte Carlo method using the MCNP 4C2 code. As a result, the neutron generation rate based on the Si detector measurement was determined with a relative uncertainty of ${\pm}5%$, and the two rates measured by both detectors corroborated within 20%.

Fire control system(FCS) errors can be classified as hardware errors, filter prediction errors, effective ballistic function errors, and aiming errors. Among these errors, the filter prediction errors are the most significant error sources. To reduce them, a target future position calculation method using the acceleration estimate is suggested and it is compared with the constant velocity target prediction method. Simulation results show that the suggested method has better performance than the constant velocity prediction method. Target tracking algorithm is established with multiple target tracking filters based on IMM structure.

In this paper, we present a methodology of sensing and control for a robot system designed to be capable of grasping an object and moving it to target point Stereo vision system is employed to determine to depth map which represents the distance from the camera. In stereo vision system we have used a center-referenced projection to represent the discrete match space for stereo correspondence. This center-referenced disparity space contains new occlusion points in addition to the match points which we exploit to create a concise representation of correspondence an occlusion. And from the depth map we find the target object´s pose and position in 3-D space. To find the target object´s pose and position, we use the method of the model-based recognition.

자가치유란 시스템에 정의된 제약사항들을 평가하고 위배 시에 적절한 전략을 적용하는 방법론이다. 오늘날 복잡해져가는 컴퓨팅 환경에서 자가치유를 위해 시스템에 발생한 문제를 스스로 인식하는 능력을 부여하는 연구가 중요한 이슈가 되고 있다. 그러나 대부분의 기존연구들은 목표시스템을 자가치유하기 위해 자가치유 개발자들이 제약조건을 모델링하고 분석해야 하는 노력이 크다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 자가 치유 기법을 기반으로 시스템의 내외부 문제 결정을 자동화하는 방법론을 제안한다. 본 방법론은 1) 목표 시스템의 설계단계에서 생성된 설계모델들로 시스템을 명세화하고, 2) 명세화 된 내용을 기반으로 시스템의 내외부 대한 공통 제약 사항을 자동 생성한다. 3) 자동 생성된 내부 상태 규칙을 통해 컴포넌트간의 의존관계를 해석하여 4) 생성된 공통 제약사항과 분석된 연관성 모델을 코드로 변환하고 문제결정 수준을 결정한다. 5) 문제결정 수준을 기반으로 시스템의 내외부 상태를 모니터링을 하고, 비정상 상태 발생 시 전략을 적용한다. 이러한 자동화된 제안 방법론의 특징을 통해 자가 치유 개발자의 분석의 부하를 줄이며, 나아가서는 시스템의 외적 환경뿐 아니라 내부 상태 문제에 관한 비정상적인 동작을 신속하게 정상적인 상태로 회복하고, 시스템 다운과 같은 고장 횟수를 줄이는 것이 가능해 진다. 본 논문에서는 평가를 위해 제안 방법론을 비디오 회의 시스템에 적용하고 기존 방법론과의 자가치유를 위한 활동을 비교하여 그 유효성을 확인한다.

This paper presents an algorithm to acquire 3D geometric information using a virtual plane method. The method to measure 3D information on the plane is easy, because it's not concerning value on the z-axis. A plane can be made by arbitrary three points in the 3D space, so the algorithm is able to make a number of virtual planes from feature points on the target object. In this case, these geometric relations between the origin of each virtual plane and the origin of the target object coordinates should be expressed as known homogeneous matrices. To include this idea, the algorithm could induce simple matrix formula which is only concerning unknown geometric relation between the origin of target object and the origin of camera coordinates. Therefore, it's more fast and simple than other methods. For achieving the proposed method, a regular pin-hole camera model and a perspective projection matrix which is defined by a geometric relation between each coordinate system is used. In the final part of this paper, we demonstrate the techniques for a variety of applications, including measurements in industrial parts and known patches images.
