Medical image segmentation is the process by which an original image is partitioned into some homogeneous regions like bones, soft tissues, etc. This study demonstrates an automatic medical image segmentation technique based on independent component analysis. Independent component analysis is a generalization of principal component analysis which encodes the higher-order dependencies in the input in addition to the correlations. It extracts statistically independent components from input data. Use of automatic medical image segmentation technique using independent component analysis under the assumption that medical image consists of some statistically independent parts leads to a method that allows for more accurate segmentation of bones from CT data. The result of automatic segmentation using independent component analysis with square test data was evaluated using probability of error(PE) and ultimate measurement accuracy(UMA) value. It was also compared to a general segmentation method using threshold based on sensitivity(True Positive Rate), specificity(False Positive Rate) and mislabelling rate. The evaluation result was done statistical Paired-t test. Most of the results show that the automatic segmentation using independent component analysis has better result than general segmentation using threshold.

The purpose of this paper is to build a computer vision system that endows an autonomous mobile robot the ability of automatic measuring of the analog and digital meters installed in nuclear power plant(NPP). This computer vision system takes a significant part in the organization of automatic surveillance and measurement system having the instruments and gadzets in NPP under automatic control situation. In the meter image captured by the camera, the meter area is sorted out using mainly the thresholding and the region labeling and the meter value recognition process follows. The positions and the angles of the needles in analog meter images are detected using the projection based method. In the case of digital meters, digits and points are extracted and finally recognized through the neural network classifier. To use available database containing relevant information about meters and to build fully automatic meter recognition system, the segmentation and recognition of the function-name in the meter printed around the meter area should be achieved for enhancing identification reliability. For thus, the function- name of the meter needs to be identified and furthermore the scale distributions and values are also required to be analyzed for building the more sophisticated system and making the meter recognition fully automatic.

This paper proposes a computer-based practical automatic scoring system for Korean short answers through student answer analysis and natural language processing techniques. The proposed system reduces the overall scoring time and budget, while improving the ease-of-use to write answer templates from student answers as well as the accuracy and reliability of automatic scoring system. To evaluate the application of the automatic scoring system and compare to the human scoring process, we performed an experiment using the student answers of social science subject in 2014 National Assessment of Educational Achievement.

We introduce a high level synthesis methodlogoy for automatic synthesis of asynchronous circuits form a language based on CSP. The input language is a high level concurrent algorithmic specification that can model complex concurrent control flow, logical and arithmetic computation and communications between them. This specification is translated into petri net which has actions. These actions are refined to synthesize the controllers and to allocate the data resources. We use the automatic synthesis through signal transition graphs (STGs) that allows to take advantage of logic synthsis methods to optimize the circuit.

Automatic monitoring and controling system, especially DO and MLSS was faciliated for the nitrogen and phosphorus removal efficiencies. Removal efficiency of nitrogen and phosphorus by automatic monitoring and controling system, especially DO and SRT was have well adopted. and so it will be possible to use artificial intelligence logic control software such as fuzzy or neuro logic control system for WWT Plant.

Outline contour is detected firstly to simulate dose distribution in radiation therapy planning system. In this paper, we developed automatic contour detection system using temporal and spatial relationships of image sequences. The low level image analysis involves the use of directional gradient edge operators and Laplacian operator. The High level portion of algorithm uses a knowledge-based strategy that incorporates fuzzy resoning method.

In this paper, we deal with performance improvement of OBE for automatic gate clearance system by using DSRC network of 5.8GHz ISM band. A data format is improved to represent Rx and Tx information which is need to perform clearance at the gate of container terminal. An error message caused by data discordance is added to Previous data format. A graphic LCD monitor is used to control a character font and use Korean.

Robot task program is needed to control and manage a Robot without explicitly describing the robot program by user which includes commands, procedures, geometric and signal data in the detail level. To use the Robot task program, a computer system is required to convert the Robot task into the Robot program, which can be understood by the Robot. In this paper, the systemic method for automatic generation of explicit Robot programs (ERP) from task-level commands is described. Specifically, a 3-step procedure including Robot task decomposition, task synchronization and ERP generation is presented.
