Applying face alignment after face detection exerts a heavy influence on face recognition. Many researchers have recently investigated face alignment using databases collected from images taken at close distances and with low magnification. However, in the cases of home-service robots, captured images generally are of low resolution and low quality. Therefore, previous face alignment research, such as eye detection, is not appropriate for robot environments. The main purpose of this paper is to provide a new and effective approach in the alignment of small and blurred faces. We propose a face alignment method using the confidence value of Real-AdaBoost with a modified census transform feature. We also evaluate the face recognition system to compare the proposed face alignment module with those of other systems. Experimental results show that the proposed method has a high recognition rate, higher than face alignment methods using a manually-marked eye position.

This work is to develop a vision system for high precision alignment between upper and lower plates required at the imprinting process of the large LCD flat panel. We compose a gantry-stage that has highly repeated accuracy for high precision alignment and achieves analysis about thermal transformations of stage itself. Position error in the stage is corrected by feedback control from the analysis. This system can confirm alignment mark of upper and lower plates by using two cameras at a time for the alignment of two plates. Pattern matching that uses geometric feature is proposed to consider the recognition problem for alignment mark of two plates. It is algorithm to correct central point and angle for the alignment from the recognized mark of upper and lower plates based on the special characteristics. At the alignment process, revision for error position is performed through Look and Move techniques.

The nature of the nematic liquid crystal (LC) alignment induced by the rubbed polyimide (PI) alignment layers (ALs) and the electro-optical (EO) properties of the LC cells are expected to depend on the chemical and physical features of the PI. By employing five pyromellitic dianhydride (PMDA)-type PIs having different functionalities, we have studied the effects of the PI's structure and chemistry on the alignment characteristics and the cell's EO properties. Increasing the flexibility of the PI increases the pretilt angle and tends to improve the alignment stability. On the other hand, the rigid, fluorinated PI displays poor stability for LCs and induces a less stable/uniform LC alignment and, subsequently, a small pre tilt angle. It also transpired that fluorination of the PI deteriorated the voltage-transmittance characteristics and the voltage holding ratio; increasing the flexibility of the PI structure improves these EO properties. The finding that the qualitative trends for the PI's functionalities are similar for both the alignment and EO properties suggests that the EO properties are closely related to the alignment characteristics, which are determined by short-range interactions between LC and PI molecules.

서열 정렬에 있어서 전체를 비교하여 두 서열 사이의 최대의 유사성 또는 상동성을 찾는 전역 정렬은 넓은 범위를 선호하게 되는 편향성을 갖게 된다. 비일치 부분을 과감히 제거하고 높은 일치도를 갖는 부분 영역을 정렬하게 되면 정렬점수를 높이는 효과를 갖게 된다. 여러 개의 부분 지역 정렬을 탐색하게 하는 다중 지역정렬 방법을 적용하여 다수의 지역정렬을 수행하는 알고리즘을 구현하고 결과를 분석해 본다. 지역 정렬에 일반적으로 사용되는 Smith-Waterman 알고리즘의 제한점 중 하나인 서열이 길어지는 것을 방지하고, sub-optimal sequence를 찾기 위한 방법을 응용하여 다중지역 정렬을 수행한다.

웨이퍼 Pre-Alignment는 반도체 공정에서 장비에 웨이퍼를 놓기 전에 웨이퍼의 중심 및 방향을 정확하게 정렬할 필요가 있는데, 이를 위해서 일정한 수준 이하로 중심과 방향을 찾아 Alignment 하는 방법을 말한다. 본 논문에서는 웨이퍼를 Alignment 하기 위해 기존의 Mechanical한 방법이 아닌 Area 카메라를 통한 비접촉식 방법을 이용하였다. 이 방법은 웨이퍼를 45도씩 8번씩, 한 바퀴를 회전하여 이미지를 획득한 뒤, 이미지의 웨이퍼의 에지값 들을 이용하여 Least Square Circle Fitting을 이용하여 웨이퍼의 중심과 방향을 정확하게 측정하여 Alignment를 한다.

지금까지 조직의 정렬에 관한 대다수 연구는 비즈니스 전략과 정보기술 간의 정렬에 집중되어 왔다. 더구나 이러한 정렬은 조직의 관점, 시각, 범위 요소를 포함한 전사적이고 통합적인 정렬이기 보다는 관점 등 일부분의 요소를 중심으로 이루어져 왔다. 한편, 전사적 아키텍처는 조직의 구성요소와 이들 간의 상호관계를 전사적이고 통합적으로 제시한 청사진이다. 요즈음 많은 조직들은 이러한 전사적 아키텍처 개념을 기반으로 비즈니스 전략과 정보기술 간의 정렬을 시도하고 있다. 그러나 이러한 전사적 정렬 방법은 아직 개념적이고 추상적인 수준에 머무르고 있는 실정이다. 따라서, 본 논문은 기존의 부분적인 정렬보다 구조화된 전사적 정렬 방법을 제시하고자 한다. 이를 위하여 기존의 연구 결과를 분석하고, 전사적 아키텍처 개념을 기반으로 관점, 범위 및 시각 등 3차원 요소를 포함한 전사적 정렬을 위한 개념적 모델, 논리적 모델 및 물리적 모델들을 제안한다. 마지막으로 제안된 모델이 기존의 모델들 보다 조직의 구성요소를 전사적으로 정렬하는데 적합함을 비교 및 평가를 통하여 보여주고 있다.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of proprioceptive exercise on the body alignment of elderly women. Method: The experimental group consisted of twenty elderly women who participated in proprioceptive exercise for 8 weeks. The subjects were measured using Global Posture System equipment for assessing their body alignment. Body alignment was measured at the ear, shoulder joint, knee joint and calcaneocuboid joint on the sagittal plane, and the left and right acromion process positions, the ASIS and the medial malleoulus on the coronal plane. The body alignment data was used to assess the changes before and after proprioceptive exercise. The data of the experimental group was compared and analyzed using the Wilcoxon singed-rank test between before and after proprioceptive exercise. The Mann-Whithney test was used to compare the experimental group and the control group. Result: The result of this study was that the body alignment of the experimental group at the ear and knee joint on the sagittal plane was significantly in alignment with the line of gravity (p<0.05) before and after proprioceptive exercise. The body alignment was statistically different (p<0.05) between the experimental group and the control group on the frontal plane and sagittal plane. Conclusion: This study showed that proprioceptive exercise does affect the body alignment in elderly women. This indicates that there is interaction that plays a crucial role for proprioceptive stimuli and the body alignment.

We proposes a new fingerprint minutia matching algorithm which matches the fingerprint minutiae by using local alignment. In general, fingerprint is deformed by Pressure and orientation when a user presses his fingerprint to the sensor. These nonlinear deformations change the position and the orientation of minutiae which decrease reliability of minutiae. Matching by using global alignment uses one alignment point. But, the problem with this method is that, due to the deformation, matching reliability of a minutia decreases as the distance from the alignment minutia increases. Matching by using local alignment overcomes this problem by considering minutiae which are located in a short distance boundary. Experimental results show that the performance of the proposed algorithm is superior to that of using global alignment.

This paper deals with an automatic and precision alignment technique for proximity printing in x-ray lithography, using two pairs of moire gratings, with moire signals from each pair being 180.deg. out of phase with each other. We constructed an automatic and precision alignment experimental system which could measure both transmitted moire signals and reflected moire signals at the same time. The automatic alignment was achieved using transmitted moire signals and also reflected moire signals as a control signal for a stage driver. The alignment position of the system was monitored not only by a control signal but also by a non-control signal. The effect of transmitted and reflected moire signals upon alignment accuracy was discussed. We concluded that the technique using diffracted moire signals is a viable automatic and precision alignment technique.
