Calibration of Engine models is a painstaking process but very important for successful application to automotive industry problems. A combined heuristic and machine learning approach has therefore been adopted to improve the efficiency of model calibration. We developed an intelligent calibration program called ICALIB. It has been used on a daily basis for engine model applications, and has reduced the time required for model calibrations from many hours to a few minutes on average. In this paper, we describe the heuristic control strategies employed in ICALIB such as a hill-climbing search based on a state distance estimation function, incremental problem solution refinement by using a dynamic tolerance window, and calibration target parameter ordering for guiding the search. In addition, we present the application of amachine learning program called GID3*for automatic acquisition of heuristic rules for ordering target parameters.

This paper presents a threshold adaptation based voice query transcription scheme for music information retrieval. The proposed scheme analyzes monophonic voice signal and generates its transcription for diverse music retrieval applications. For accurate transcription, we propose several advanced features including (i) Energetic Feature eXtractor (EFX) for onset, peak, and transient area detection; (ii) Modified Windowed Average Energy (MWAE) for defining multiple small but coherent windows with local threshold values as offset detector; and finally (iii) Circular Average Magnitude Difference Function (CAMDF) for accurate acquisition of fundamental frequency (F0) of each frame. In order to evaluate the performance of our proposed scheme, we implemented a prototype music transcription system called AMT2 (Automatic Music Transcriber version 2) and carried out various experiments. In the experiment, we used QBSH corpus [1], adapted in MIREX 2006 contest data set. Experimental result shows that our proposed scheme can improve the transcription performance.

A 5.9kW phosphoric acid fuel cell(PAFC) power generation system that consists of a reformer, a stack, heat exchangers, an automatic data acquisition and control system was designed, fabricated and analyzed. This system which was firstly fabricated in Korea has been operated for 140 hours with an electricity generation of 684kWh. The PAFC generate electricity in the range of 38-52V and 50-160A and has a typical I-V characteristics of a fuel cell. Using the reformed fuel, the system performance is decreased in some degree due to CO content, compared to using the simulated fuel. At steady state operation condition, the total efficency of this system was 45.2%.

Pose-variation factors present a significant problem in 2D face recognition. To solve this problem, there are various approaches for a 3D face acquisition system which was able to generate multi-view images. However, this created another pose estimation problem in terms of normalizing the 3D face data. This paper presents a 3D head pose-normalization method using 2D and 3D interaction. The proposed method uses 2D information with the AAM(Active Appearance Model) and 3D information with a 3D normal vector. In order to verify the performance of the proposed method, we designed an experiment using 2.5D face recognition. Experimental results showed that the proposed method is robust against pose variation.

This paper deals with the practical application in the way how the automatic contouring can be done by DTM, the results of investigation confirm that the digital contouring is equivalent to results from direct photogrammetric contouring. The data acquisition is restericted in 841$(29{\times}29)$ regular grid points, the interpolation is done by concepts of finite elements. finally, the output map is relatively compare with A-10 contour maps.

The reliability of EIC(Electricity, Instrumentation and Computer) systems in hot rolling mill is very important in order to maintain stable production. Signals obtained from sensors and control system should be analyzed to monitor the condition of down coiler in hot rolling mill. We develop a monitoring system of down coiler which is composed of three parts : (1) data acquisition and MMI, (2) signal processing and analyzing, and (3) automatic data saving. Also it is designed to enable to inform users the abnormal conditions of down coiler. This developed system is expected to make it possible to reduce long downtime, secure high facility precision, and maintain high control levels.

SCADA and DCS that have performed automatic control and monitoring activities increase the productivity of enterprise in industries. In such systems, although their performance had been improved, there are still many deficiencies in predictive maintenance which can foresee the risk of any kinds of accidents. Because the data acquisition systems of main facilities are being distributed throughout the whole plant and therefore, integration of data obtained from the systems is very difficult. Accordingly, techniques that acquire meaningful information from the gathered data through realtime analysis still need to be improved. This paper introduces a developed facility monitoring system which can predict equipment failure and diagnose facility status through big data analysis to improve equipment efficiency and prevent safety accidents.

이 논문은 ATS(Automatic Train Stop)의 신호를 측정하기 위해 개발된 측정시스템을 소개하고, 측정 결과를 고찰하여 향후 연구 방향을 제시하고자 한다. 기존선 고속화 요구에 따른 신호보안설비의 개선이 요구되지만 기존의 설비를 전면적으로 교체하기에는 기간 및 많은 비용이 요구된다. 그러기 위해서 기존의 ATS에 대해서 성능을 점검하고 고속화를 위한 개선점을 찾아 신호설비 개량전에 단계적 고속화가 필요하다. 그러므로 본 논문에서는 신호 고속화 시스템을 위해 기존신호 시스템의 특징을 조사하였다. 이 논문에서는 NI사의 상용 A/D 보드와 LabVIEW를 사용하여 측정시스템을 만들어 측정하였다. 측정결과는 기존의 ATS의 신호가 고속에서는 응동시간이 문제가 있으며, 고속화를 위해서는 일부 개량이 필요하다. 그러나 승객의 안전에 관련된 사안이므로 더 다양한 방향에서의 고찰이 필요할 것으로 보인다.

A data communication should be carried out by a SSB(Single Side Band) to collect real time position data of fishery ship automatically, and a study on the protocol for exchanging the information with GPS should be made. A research about regional and concentrated maritime information should be first made to obtain ship's voyage data and also, research of the Modem and transmitter-receiver controller for sending voice and data simultaneously through a SSB and of the acquisition of data through a GPS also should be carried out.

KOMPSAT-2 like other high-resolution satellites has the time and angle difference in the acquisition of the panchromatic (PAN) and multispectral (MS) images because the imaging systems have the offset of the charge coupled device combination in the focal plane. Due to the differences, high altitude and moving objects, such as clouds, have a different position between the PAN and MS images. Therefore, a mis-registration between the PAN and MS images occurs when a registration algorithm extracted matching points from these cloud objects. To overcome this problem, we proposed a new registration method. The main idea is to discard the matching points extracted from cloud boundaries by using an automatic thresholding technique and a classification technique on a distance disparity map of the matching points. The experimental result demonstrates the accuracy of the proposed method at ground region around cloud objects is higher than a general method which does not consider cloud objects. To evaluate the proposed method, we use KOMPSAT-2 cloudy images.
