In this paper, a novel approach based on wavelet transform is proposed to process the scraped character which is represented on digital image. The basis idea is that the scraped character is described by its textured neighborhood, and it is decomposed into multiresolution features at different levels with its background region. The image is first decomposed into sub bands by applying Daubechies wavelets. Character features are extracted from the low frequency sub-bands by partition, FCM clustering and area-based region process. High frequency ones are activated by applying local energy density over a moving mask. Features are synthesized in order to reconstruct the original image state through inverse wavelet transform Background region is eliminated and character is extracted. The experimental results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method.

In this paper, a motion image is detected based on the irregularity of lights. This motion image is extracted by modifying the reflected light region of the 3 way-diff algorithms. 3 way-diff algorithm extracts reflected light region using the 3-successive image. In this algorithm, The reflected light region is a region generated by light in the image production process and is finally created around all objects. The algorithm shows a process to extracting the region. This process is a simple operation, but doesn't have a defined formula for light. This paper judges that the reflected light region is a kind of noise at the 3 way-diff algorithms and defines the formula for extracting the reflected light region. It shows that compared with the proposed algorithm and existing algorithm through experiment.

This study conducted a result analysis on operation of 26 Rural Community Sewage Treatment Plant (RCSTP) newly constructed in Yeong-yang, Bong-hwa and An-dong areas which are located at the upper region of An-dong Dam and Im-ha Dam. Based on operation result, an analysis on characteristics of sewage in each area and the treatment efficiency of the installed treatment process was conducted. The result of analysis on characteristics of sewage has shown the difference in concentration of the sewage according to area characteristics. Sewage in areas with frequent occurrence of agricultural water and livestock wastewater had high concentration. It is important to select the most suitable treatment process when selecting a treatment process for RCSTP according to properties of sewage in each area. As a result of operation, the disposal efficiency for organic matter and suspended solids was stable with less fluctuation, but the disposal efficiency for nitrogen and phosphorus showed high fluctuation. This signifies that it is necessary to pay attention to operation condition management of nitrogen and phosphorus when operating RCSTP.

In spite of the ecological value of the DMZ, there have not been established guidelines for sustainable conservation and use on the DMZ and adjacent area. In this study we suggested a method about zoning the conservation and utilization area considering environmental data and the characteristic of the DMZ region, and we make the guideline for conservation of the DMZ region based on the zone. Using 10 legal protection areas, the Environmental Conservation Value Assessment Map (ECVAM) and the boundaries of the DMZ region, we evaluated this region into conservation areas, management areas, and utilization areas. The results showed that as much as 91.8% of the DMZ region was evaluated as conservation areas, 6.9% as management areas, and 1.3% as utilization areas. After consultation with experts we suggested management principles, the direction, and the guideline based on the planning process considering the evaluation map. The study suggests principles and guidelines for management, and the guidelines could be a effective tool for the sustainable conservation and management strategy of DMZ region.

An improved model of 'use' or 'region' districting(or regional zoning) scheme has been proposed. GIS based prototype model of managing the semi-agricultural region is implemented in a PC based platform focusing the Yongin, Kyonggi-Do area. Throughout the process of users' requirement analysis, database design, and user interface design, it has been shown that the integrated system may shed light on the prospective usage by the city or county government officials regardless of the short functionalities and user interface. This study aims first at identifying the needs in the area of districting at local level and at suggesting a basic framework of database design and system implementation in regard to region districting. The ARC/INFO, ArcView/Avenue based PC-based decision supports system presented herein is hoped to be supplemented with the inclusion of time factor in its database to cover and reflect the temporal variations associated with the plans.

This report presents experimental results on the heat transfer coefficients in the boiling region of spray cooling for actual metallurgical process. In this study, the heat flux distribution of a two dimensional dilute spray impinging on hot plate was experimentally investigated. Based on the experimental results, they classified the heat transfer area into the stagnation region and wall-flow region. In the stagnation region, the local heat transfer coefficient relates mainly to the droplet-flow-rate supplied from spray nozzle directly, so the local heat transfer coefficients is good agreement with the predicted values from correlation for spray cooling proposed by former report However, the local heat transfer coefficient in wall-flow region is larger than predicted values, and it is found that the rebounding droplets-flow-rate must be accurately evaluated to predict the local heat transfer coefficient in this region.

Recognition of banknote serial number is one of the important functions for intelligent banknote counter implementation and can be used for various purposes. However, the previous character recognition method is limited to use due to the font type of the banknote serial number, the variation problem by the solid status, and the recognition speed issue. In this paper, we propose an aspect ratio based character region segmentation and a convolutional neural network (CNN) based banknote serial number recognition method. In order to detect the character region, the character area is determined based on the aspect ratio of each character in the serial number candidate area after the banknote area detection and de-skewing process is performed. Then, we designed and compared four types of CNN models and determined the best model for serial number recognition. Experimental results showed that the recognition accuracy of each character was 99.85%. In addition, it was confirmed that the recognition performance is improved as a result of performing data augmentation. The banknote used in the experiment is Indian rupee, which is badly soiled and the font of characters is unusual, therefore it can be regarded to have good performance. Recognition speed was also enough to run in real time on a device that counts 800 banknotes per minute.

The flow characteristics of unventilated dual impinging jets were experimentally investigated. Two nozzles with an aspect ratio of 20 were separated by 6 nozzle widths. The Reynolds number based on nozzle width and nozzle exit velocity was set to 5,000. A Particle Image Velocimetry (PIV) was used to measure turbulent velocity components. It was found that, when an impingement plate was installed in the converging region, there was a stagnation region in the inner area between nozzles. However, when it was installed in the combined region, both jets were merged and collided into the plate, showing single-jet characteristics. In addition, at a dual impinging jet, as the distance between a nozzle and an impingement plate decreased, the spanwise turbulent intensity at the plate increased.

Surface segmentation aims to represent the terrain as a set of bounded and analytically defined surface patches. Many previous segmentation methods have been developed to extract planar patches from LIDAR data for building extraction. However, most of them were not fully satisfactory for more general applications in terms of the degree of automation and the quality of the segmentation results. This is mainly caused from the limited information derived from LIDAR data. The purpose of this study is thus to develop an automatic method to perform surface segmentation by combining not only LIDAR data but also images. A region-based method is proposed to generate a set of planar patches by grouping LIDAR points. The grouping criteria are based on both the coordinates of the points and the corresponding intensity values computed from the images. This method has been applied to urban data and the segmentation results are compared with the reference data acquired by manual segmentation. 76% of the test area is correctly segmented. Under-segmentation is rarely founded but over-segmentation still exists. If the over-segmentation is mitigated by merging adjacent patches with similar properties as a post-process, the proposed segmentation method can be effectively utilized for a reliable intermediate process toward automatic extraction of 3D model of the real world.
