The present work is concerned with characterization of surface roughness and inhomogeneity of four kinds of hot-rolled carbon steels in terms of the fractal dimension and the depression parameter by using image analysis method and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy, respectively. From the analysis of the 3D AFM image, it is realized that all the hot-rolled steel surfaces show the self-affine fractal property. The values of the fractal dimension of the hot-rolled steels were determined by the analyses of the AFM images on the basis of both the perimeter-area method and the triangulation method. In addition, the Nyquist plots were found to be depressed from a perfect semicircle form. From the experimental findings, the changes in the values of the fractal dimension and the depression parameter with chemical composition have been discussed in terms of the change in the value of hardness of base steel.

실사 영상에 가상 객체를 합성하기 위해서는 실사 영상 촬영 당시의 카메라 정보가 필요하다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 카메라 정보를 구하기 위하여 가상현실 분야에서 사용하고 있는 캘리브레이션 프리 정합 (Calibration-Free Registration) 기술을 기반으로 한 반자동 정합 기술을 제안하였다. 가상 현실은 실시간 응용인데 반하여 본 논문에서 제안하는 반자동 정합 기술은 합성 컨텐츠 저작을 위한 오프라인 응용에 적합한 방법으로 캘리브레이션 프리 정합기술의 합성 결과는 사용자의 입력정보와 밀접한 관계가 있다. 캘리브레이션 프리 정합기술은 두가지 사용자 입력을 필요로 한다. 첫번째 입력은 어파인공간 (Affine space)의 기저 (Basis vector)를 위한 특징점 정보이고, 두번째 입력 정보는 가상객체의 영상 투영점 입력이다. 본 논문에서는 이 두가지 사용자 입력중 기저를 위한 특징점 정보입력을 사용자가 쉽게, 정확한 정보를 입력할 수 있게하기 위하여, 사용자가 특징점을 개략적으로 입력하게 하고, 주변 영역에서 코너점 검출을 수행하여 사용자 입력을 수정하여 받아들리는 방법을 제안하였다. 실험결과 제안한 방법을 사용하여 구한 카메라 정보로 만족할 만한 합성 영상을 얻을 수 있었다.

In this paper, we proposed a new object tracking algorithm based on sparse representation to handle the drifting problem. In APG-L1(accelerated proximal gradient) tracking, the sparse representation is applied to model the appearance of object using linear combination of target templates and trivial templates with proper coefficients. Also, the particle filter based on affine transformation matrix is applied to find the location of object and APG method is used to minimize the l1-norm of sparse representation. In this paper, we make use of the trivial template coefficients actively to block the drifting problem. We experiment the various videos with diverse challenges and the result shows better performance than others.

Our study have aimed to identify the deformation and breakup mechanism of minor phase in polymer blends under uniaxial enlongational flow. Experimentally, we measured the transient elongational viscosity of PS/HDPE blends using the uniaxial elongational rheometer at two temperatures. And we observed the evolution of blend morphology with elongation time. Morphological change was observed by quenching the specimen after deformation. If the viscosity variation of PS was compared with that of HDPE at each temperature, PS showed larger temperature dependence than HDPE. At 155$^{\circ}C$, the dispersed phase of larger size were easily affected by affine deformation. The initial spherical shape changed to flat ellipsoid at first, then flat ellipsoid to bulbous shape, and bulbous to thin thread and its satellites. But dispersed phase of smaller size showed the change from sphere to ellipsoid. At 175$^{\circ}C$, the dispersed phase were mostly deformed from spherical shape to ellipsoid. As a result, the morphological change of dispersed phase in elongational deformation is affected by chain flexibility and viscosity ratio. We need to further study to make sure the mechanism of elongation of viscoelastic polymer blends.

The marine dinoflagellate genus Alexandrium comprise PSP producing A. acatenella, A. angustitabuzatum, A. catenella, A. fundyense, A. minutum, A. ostenfezdii, A. tamiyavanichii and A. tamarense. In monitoring toxic Alexandrium, rapid and exact species identification is one of the significant prerequisite work, however we have suffered confusion of species definition in Alexandrium. To surmount this problem, we chose DNA probing, which has long been used as an alternative for conventional identification methods, primarily relying on morphological approaches using microscope in microbial field. Oligonucleotide DNA probes targeting rRNA or rDNA have been commonly used in diverse studies to detect and enumerate cells concerned as a culture-indetendent powerful tool. Despite of the massive literature on the HAB species containing Alexandrium, application of DNA probing for species identification and detection has been limited to a few documents. DNA probes of toxic A. tamarense, A. catenella and A. tamiyavanichii, and non-toxic A. affine, A. fraterculus, A. insuetum and A. pseudogonyaulax were designed from LSU rDNA D1-D2, and applied to whole cell-FISH. Each DNA probes reacted only the targeted Alexandrium cells with very high species-specificity within Alexandrium. The probes could detect each targeted cells obtained from the natural sea water samples without cross-reactivity. Labeling intensity varied in the growth stage, this showed that the contents of probe-targeted cellular rRNA decreased with reduced growth rate. Double probe TAMID2S1 achieved approximately two times higher fluorescent intensity than that with single probe TAMID2. This double probe did not cross-react with any kinds of microorganisms in the natural sea waters. Therefore we can say that in whole-cell FISH procedure this double DNA probe successfully labeled targeted A. tamiyavanichii without cross-reaction with congeners and diverse natural bio-communities.

In the mid 90's, the U.S. government released images acquired by the first generation of photo reconnaissance satellite missions between 1960 and 1972. The Declassified Intelligent Satellite Photographs (DISP) from the Corona mission are of high quality with an astounding ground resolution of about 2 m. The KH-4A panoramic camera system employed a scan angle of $70^{\circ}$ that produces film strips with a dimension of $55\;mm\;{\times}\;757\;mm$. Since GPS/INS did not exist at the time of data acquisition, the exterior orientation must be established in the traditional way by using control information and the interior orientation of the camera. Detailed information about the camera is not available, however. For reconstructing points in object space from DISP imagery to an accuracy that is comparable to high resolution (a few meters), a precise camera model is essential. This paper is concerned with the derivation of a rigorous mathematical model for the KH-4A/B panoramic camera. The proposed model is compared with generic sensor models, such as affine transformation and rational functions. The paper concludes with experimental results concerning the precision of reconstructed points in object space. The rigorous mathematical panoramic camera model for the KH-4A camera system is based on extended collinearity equations assuming that the satellite trajectory during one scan is smooth and the attitude remains unchanged. As a result, the collinearity equations express the perspective center as a function of the scan time. With the known satellite velocity this will translate into a shift along-track. Therefore, the exterior orientation contains seven parameters to be estimated. The reconstruction of object points can now be performed with the exterior orientation parameters, either by intersecting bundle rays with a known surface or by using the stereoscopic KH-4A arrangement with fore and aft cameras mounted an angle of $30^{\circ}$.

Gaze detection is to locate the position on a monitor screen where a user is looking. In our work, we implement it with a computer vision system setting a single camera above a monitor and a user moves (rotates and/or translates) his face to gaze at a different position on the monitor. To detect the gaze position, we locate facial region and facial features(both eyes, nostrils and lip corners) automatically in 2D camera images. From the movement of feature points detected in starting images, we can compute the initial 3D positions of those features by camera calibration and parameter estimation algorithm. Then, when a user moves(rotates and/or translates) his face in order to gaze at one position on a monitor, the moved 3D positions of those features can be computed from 3D rotation and translation estimation and affine transform. Finally, the gaze position on a monitor is computed from the normal vector of the plane determined by those moved 3D positions of features. As experimental results, we can obtain the gaze position on a monitor(19inches) and the gaze position accuracy between the computed positions and the real ones is about 2.01 inches of RMS error.

White-box cryptography presented by Chow et al. is an obfuscation technique for protecting secret keys in software implementations even if an adversary has full access to the implementation of the encryption algorithm and full control over its execution platforms. Despite its practical importance, progress has not been substantial. In fact, it is repeated that as a proposal for a white-box implementation is reported, an attack of lower complexity is soon announced. This is mainly because most cryptanalytic methods target specific implementations, and there is no general attack tool for white-box cryptography. In this paper, we present an analytic toolbox on white-box implementations of the Chow et al.'s style using lookup tables. According to our toolbox, for a substitution-linear transformation cipher on n bits with S-boxes on m bits, the complexity for recovering the $$O\((3n/max(m_Q,m))2^{3max(m_Q,m)}+2min\{(n/m)L^{m+3}2^{2m},\;(n/m)L^32^{3m}+n{\log}L{\cdot}2^{L/2}\}\)$$, where $m_Q$ is the input size of nonlinear encodings,$m_A$ is the minimized block size of linear encodings, and $L=lcm(m_A,m_Q)$. As a result, a white-box implementation in the Chow et al.'s framework has complexity at most $O\(min\{(2^{2m}/m)n^{m+4},\;n{\log}n{\cdot}2^{n/2}\}\)$ which is much less than $2^n$. To overcome this, we introduce an idea that obfuscates two advanced encryption standard (AES)-128 ciphers at once with input/output encoding on 256 bits. To reduce storage, we use a sparse unsplit input encoding. As a result, our white-box AES implementation has up to 110-bit security against our toolbox, close to that of the original cipher. More generally, we may consider a white-box implementation of the t parallel encryption of AES to increase security.

In this paper, we propose a self-calibration of a multi-camera system using factorization techniques for realistic contents generation. The traditional self-calibration algorithms for multi-camera systems have been focused on stereo(-rig) camera systems or multiple camera systems with a fixed configuration. Thus, it is required to exploit them in 3D reconstruction with a mobile multi-camera system and another general applications. For those reasons, we suggest the robust algorithm for general structured multi-camera systems including the algorithm for a plane-structured multi-camera system. In our paper, we explain the theoretical background and practical usages based on a projective factorization and the proposed affine factorization. We show experimental results with simulated data and real images as well. The proposed algorithm can be used for a 3D reconstruction and a mobile Augmented Reality.

In this paper a virtual form of 3 dimensional face is synthesized from the two sheets of 2 dimensional photographs In this case two sheets of 2D face photographs, the front and the side photographs are used First of all a standard model for a general face is created and from this model the feature points which represents a construction of face are densely defined on part of ears. eyes, a nose and a lip but the other parts. for example, forehead, chin and hair are roughly determined because of flat region or the less individual points. Thereafter the side photograph is connected symmetrically on the left and right sides of the front image and it is gradually synthesized by use of affine transformation method. In order to remove the difference of color and brightness from the junction part, a linear interpolation method is used. As a result it is confirmed that the proposed model which general model of a face can be obtain the 3D virtual image of the individual face.
