The construction of panoramic images on smartphones and low-powered devices is a challenging task. In this paper, we propose a new approach for smoothly stitching images on mobile phones in the presence of moving objects in the scene. Our main contributions include handling moving object problems, reducing processing time, and generating rectangular panoramic images. First, unique and robust feature points are extracted using fast ORB method and a feature matching technique is applied to match the extracted feature points. After obtaining good matched feature points, we employ the non-deterministic RANSAC algorithm to discard wrong matches, and the hommography transformation matrix parameters are estimated with the algorithm. Afterward, we determine precise overlap regions of neighboring images and calculate their absolute differences. Then, thresholding operation and noise removal filtering are applied to create a mask of possible moving object regions. Sequentially, an optimal seam is estimated using dynamic programming algorithm, and a combination of linear blending with the mask information is applied to avoid seam transition and ghosting artifacts. Finally, image-cropping operation is utilized to obtain a rectangular boundary image from the stitched image. Experiments demonstrate that our method is able to produce panoramic images quickly despite the existence of moving objects.

The color stabilization of antimicrobial blends was studied by using poly(hexamethylene guanidine) phosphate (PHMG) as a highly efficient biocidal and nontoxic agent. The Taguchi method was used to determine the optimum conditions for the blending of PHMG in polypropylene (PP) matrix. To improve the yellowing phenomena, two kinds of stabilizer were used together: tetrakis[methylene(3,5-di-t-butyl-4-hydroxyhydrocinnamate)](IN1010) from phenol and tris(2,4-di-t-butylphenylphosphite) (IF168) from phosphorus. According to blend composition and mixing condition, six factors were chosen, with five levels being set for each factor. The orthogonal array was selected as the most suitable for fabricating the experimental design, L25, with 6 columns and 25 variations. The-smaller-the-better was used as an optimization criterion. The optimum conditions for these parameters were 10 phr for PHMG, 2 phr for IN1010, 1 phr for IF168, 10 min for mixing time, $210^{\circ}C$ for mixing temperature, and 30 rpm for rotation speed. Under these conditions, the yellowness index of the blend was 1.52. The processibility of the blends was investigated by Advanced Rheometric Expansion System (ARES). The blend with 0.5 w% PHMG content, diluted with PP, exhibited an antimicrobial characteristic in the shake flask method.

기존 방송 콘텐츠 대비 더욱 생생한 현장감을 주는 초고해상도 콘텐츠에 대한 관심이 증가하고 있다. 하지만 기존의 방송 서비스에서 초고해상도 콘텐츠를 제공하기 위해서는 영상 획득 장치의 화각 및 개별 해상도 한계가 있다. 이러한 문제를 해결하기 위해 여러대의 입력 장치를 통한 영상합성 방법인 스티칭에 대한 연구가 다수 진행되고 있다. 본 논문에서는 기존 스티칭 연구에서의 단점 중 하나인 수평방향으로 촬영된 영상들 정합과정에서 이동하는 물체의 시불변성 훼손을 극복하기 위해, 최소 오류 경계를 활용한 동적 물체 기반 동영상 정합 방안을 제안한다.

멀티레벨 잉크젯 프린터는 다양한 도트 크기 및 다른 농도를 가진 잉크를 사용함으로써 뛰어난 색재현과 부드러운 계조를 표현할 수 있다. 이에 멀티토닝 기법에 관한 많은 연구 노력들이 더 나은 영상 화질을 위해 진행되고 있다. 하지만 멀티토닝은 프린터가 출력할 수 있는 레벨에서 일정 구간 같은 잉크가 찍히는 banding artifact가 발생한다. 이는 특히 부드러운 계조 변화 영역에서 불연속성이나 시각적으로 좋지 않은 결과를 낳게 된다. 따라서 이러한 banding artifact를 줄이기 위하여 본 논문에서는 개선된 임계값 배율 조정함수를 이용하여 프린터 출력 레벨에서 이웃 출력 잉크의 혼합 비율을 제어함으로써 잉크 분포를 조절하는 멀티토닝 방법을 제안한다. Banding artifact가 발생하는 영역에서의 잉크 분포는 이웃 출력 잉크의 혼합 시점을 조절하는 임계값 배율 조정 함수의 두 인자에 의해 달라진다. 따라서 8명의 관찰자를 이용하여 여러 가지 인자 값에 대한 프린터 출력 레벨에서의 잉크 분포를 조사하였다. 그 결과, 특정 인자 값을 가진 임계값 배율 조정 함수를 사용함으로써 시각적으로 부드러운 계조 변화를 표현할 수 있었다. 실험에서는 제안한 방법을 칼라와 회색조 ramp 영상에 적용하여 banding artifact 감소와 색재현성에서의 더 나은 성능을 확인하였다.

Polymer blending constitutes a most useful method for the improvement or modification of the physicochemical properties of polymeric materials. So polymer blends have gained an increasing interest in both industrial and scientific fields. Some of the polymer blends exhibit unusual properties, unexpected from homopolymers. An important property of a polymer blend is the miscibility of its component, because it affects the mechanical properties, the morphology, its permeability and dogradation [1,2]. (omitted)

In this paper, physical properties and electrical characteristics of linear low density polyethylene(LLDPE) films blended with ethylene vinyl acetate(EVA), containing polar groups within it, were investigated to improve defects of polyethylene(PE) such like space charge accumulation and tree growth. Blending method changes super-structure of LLDPE, having a great influence on electrical characteristics. For analysis of physical properties, FTIR, XRD and DSC methods were executed, and for electrical characteristics, volume resistivity and dielectric strength were measured with the varying temperature. From the results, it is confirmed that bled specimens tend to be safe to varying temperature, and specially of 70:30 and 50:50 have a good performance.

The purpose of this experiment is to prepare ethylene propylene diene terpolymer(EPDM)/ acrylonitrile butadiene rubber(NBR) blend which represents good environmental resistant properties including favorable oil and ozone resistance. With incorporation of EPDM, NBR and other ingredients, the rubber and chemical additives were mixed by mechanical method such as Banbury mixer and open 2-roll mill. Then rubber vulcanizates were manufactured by hot press and mechanical properties, oil and ozone resistance of the test specimens were measured. The oil resistance and ozone resistance of EPDM and NBR, respectively, is remarkably improved by blending EPDM with NBR. The optimum results of oil and zone resistant characteristics were obtained at EPDM/NBR(=25/75 wt%) composition ratio.

High water vapor permeable coating materials were prepared by blending aqueous poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) solution with waterborne polyurethane-urea (WBPU) dispersions synthesized by prepolymer mixing process. Stable WBPU/PVA dispersions were achieved at PVA content below 30 wt%. As the water soluble polymer PVA content increased, the number and density of total micro-pores (tunnel-like/isolated micro-pores) formed after the dissolution of PVA in water increased, and the water vapor permeability of coated Nylon fabric also increased significantly. Using WBPU/water soluble polymer PVA blends as a coating material and then dissolving PVA in water was confirmed to be an effective method to obtain prominent breathable fabrics.

Korea High Speed Train(KHST) is supposed to run up 350km/h, in which the braking system has a crucial role for the safety of the train. In the design st데 of the braking system, its very hard to ac-quire information data for design guidelines. A HILS(Hardware-In-the-Loop Simulation) system can be used to get design data which could simulate the braking system of the real train in real-time. In this paper, cars are modelled including car dynamics, brake blending algorithms, pneumatic actuator dynamics, the models of each braking devices, adhesive coefficients, and soon. Real-time braking time, distance, and other design parameters are simulated using a DSP board and C language which shows the validity of the proposed method.
