The aim of the present study is to enhance query speed of large 3D point cloud indexed in octree by parallel query using multi-cores. Especially, it is focused on developing methods of accessing multiple leaf nodes in octree concurrently to query points residing within a radius from a given coordinates. To the end, two parallel query methods are suggested using different strategies to distribute query overheads to each core: one using automatic division of 'for routines' in codes controlled by OpenMP and the other considering spatial division. Approximately 18 million 3D points gathered by a terrestrial laser scanner are indexed in octree and tested in a system with a 8-core CPU to evaluate the performances of a non-parallel and the two parallel methods. In results, the performances of the two parallel methods exceeded non-parallel one by several times and the two parallel rivals showed competing aspects confronting various query radii. Parallel query is expected to be accelerated by anticipated improvements of distribution strategies of query overhead to each core.

In this study, we have estimated lineaments in the Euiseong area, Kyungbuk Province, from Landsat TM by applying the algorithm developed by Kim and Won et al. which can effectively reduce the look direction bias associated with the Sun's azimuth angle. Fratures over the study area were also mapped in the field at 57 selected sites to compare them with the results from the satellite image. The trends of lineaments estimated from the Landsat TM images are characterized as $N50^{\circ}$~70W, NS~$N10^{\circ}$W, and $N10^{\circ}$~$60^{\circ}$E trends. The spatial distribution of lineaments is also studied using a circular grid, and the results show that the area can be divided into two domains : domain A in which NS~$N20^{\circ}$E direction is dominant, and domain B in which west-north-west direction is prominent. The trends of lineaments can also be classified into seven groups. Among them, only C, D and G trends are found to be dominant based upon Donnelly's nearest neighbor analysis and correlations of lineament desities. In the color composite image produced by overlaying the lineament density map of these C-, D-, and G-trends, G-trend is shown to be developed in the whole study area while the eastern part of the area is dominated by D-trend. C-trend develops extensively over the whole are except the southeastern part. The orientation of fractures measured at 35 points in the field shows major trends of NS~$N30^{\circ}$E, $N50^{\circ}$~$80^{\circ}$W, and N80$^{\circ}$E~EW, which agree relatively well with the lineaments estimated form the satellite image. The rose diagram analysis fo field data shows that WNW-ESE trending discontinuities are developed in the whole area while discontinuities of NS~$N20^{\circ}$E are develped only in the estern part, which also coincide with the result from the satellite image. The combined results of lineaments from the satellite image and fracture orientation of field data at 22 points including 18 minor faults in Sindong Group imply that the WNW-ESE trend is so prominent that Gumchun and Gaum faults are possibly extended up to the lower Sindong Group in the study area.

Newly constructed, high-rise dense building areas by urban development can cause changes in local wind fields. Wind fields were analyzed to assess the impact on the local meteorology due to the land use changes during the urban redevelopment called "Eunpyeong new town" in north-western Seoul using CFD_NIMR_SNU (Computational Fluid Dynamics, National Institute of Meteorological Research, Seoul National University) model. Initial value of wind speed and direction use analysis value of AWS (Automatic Weather Station) data during 5 years. In the case of the pre-construction with low rise built-up area, it was simulated that the spatial distribution of horizontal wind fields depends on the topography and wind direction of initial inflow. But, in the case of the post-construction with high rise built-up area, it was analyzed that the wind field was affected by high rise buildings as well as terrain. High-rise buildings can generate new circulations among buildings. In addition, small size vortexes were newly generated by terrain and high rise buildings after the construction. As high-rise buildings act as a barrier, we found that the horizontal wind flow was separated and wind speed was reduced behind the buildings. CFD_NIMR_SNU was able to analyze the impact of high-rise buildings during the urban development. With the support of high power computing, it will be more common to utilize sophisticated numerical analysis models such as CFD_NIMR_SNU in evaluating the impact of urban development on wind flow or channel.

Millimeter wave (MMW) readily penetrates fabrics, thus it can be used to detect objects concealed under clothing. A passive MMW imaging system can operate as a stand-off type sensor that scans people in both indoors and outdoors. However, because of the diffraction limit and low signal level, the imaging system often suffers from low image quality. Therefore, suitable statistical analysis and computational processing would be required for automatic analysis of the images. In this paper, a real-time concealed object detection is addressed by means of the multi-level segmentation. The histogram of the image is modeled with a Gaussian mixture distribution, and hidden object areas are segmented by a multi-level scheme involving $k$-means, the expectation-maximization algorithm, and a decision rule. The complete algorithm has been implemented in C++ environments on a standard computer for a real-time process. Experimental and simulation results confirm that the implemented system can achieve the real-time detection of concealed objects.

In this paper we present a shading technique for realistic rendering of the surfaces with irregular and complex textures using a single photograph. So far, most works have been using many photographs or special photographing equipment to render the surfaces with irregular and complex textures as well as dividing texture regions manually. We present an automatic selection method of the region segmentation techniques according to properties of materials. As our technique produces a reflectance model and the approximated Bidirectional Reflection Distribution Function(BRDF) parameters, it allows the recovery of the photometric properties of diffuse, specular, isotropic or anisotropic textured objects. Also it make it possible to present several synthetic images with novel lighting conditions and views.

The Passenger Service Equipment(PSE) provide various train operation data such as flag station data. When PSE incur service failures or errors, passengers who use the train feel great inconvenience. In this paper, I have chosen PSE that were important to passengers and have applied Reliability Centered Maintenance(RCM), deviating from the existing perspective that operators have taken to perform RCM. FMEA/FMECA was performed for reliability analysis of the PSE. The highly critical device among the PSE is defined as the Passenger Information Control System(PICS), which is used to control the automatic announcement and signaling board. Through Weibull distribution of the PICS, failure analysis was performed. Based on the analyzed results, I have proposed a solution that will minimize service failure of PICS.

To operate the automatic devices of manufacturing process more effectively and to solve the needs of the resource sharing, network technology is applied to the control devices located in common manufacturing zone and operated by connecting them. In this paper, functional standard of the network layers are set as physical and data link layer of IEEE 802.2, 802.4, and VMD application layer and ISO-CIM reference model. Then, they are divided as minimized architecture, designed as group objects which perform group management and service objects which organizes and operates the group. For the stability in this network, this paper measures the variation of data packet length and node number and analyzes the variated value of the waiting time for the network operation. For the method of the analysis, non-exhausted service method are selected, and the arrival rates of the each data packet to the nodes that are assumed to form a Poission distribution. Then, queue model is set as M/G/1, and the analysis equation for waiting time is found. For the evalution of the performance, the length of the data packet varies from 10 bytes to 100 bytes in the operation of the group management network, the variation of the wating time is less than 10 msec. Since the waiting time in this case is less than 10 msec, response time is fast enough. Furthermore, to evaluate the real time processing of the group management network, it shows if the number of nodes is less than 40, and the average arrival time is less than 40 packet/sec, it can perform stable operation even taking the overhead such as software delay time, indicated packet service, and transmissin safety margin.

Prostate cancer is a malignant tumor occurring in the prostate. Recently, the repetition rate is increasing. Image inspection method which we can check the prostate structure the most correctly is MRI(Magnetic Resonance Imaging), but it is hard to apply it to all the patients because of the cost. So, they use mostly TRUS(Transrectal Ultrasound) images acquired from prostate ultrasound inspection and which are cheap and easy to inspect the prostate in the process of treating and diagnosing the prostate cancer. Traditionally, in the hospital the doctors saw the TRUS images by their eyes and manually segmented the boundary between the prostate and nonprostate. But the manually segmenting process not only needed too much time but also had different boundaries according to the doctor. To cope the problems, some automatic segmentations of the prostate have been studied to generate the constant segmentation results and get the belief from patients. In this study, we propose an average shape model to segment the prostate boundary in TRUS prostate image. The method has 3 steps. First, it finds the probe using edge distribution. Next, it finds two straight lines connected with the probe. Finally it puts the shape model to the image using the position of the probe and straight lines.
