Cubic-meter volumes estimated from two proxy taper functions were compared to observed volumes of Japanese red cedar trees (Cryptomeria japonica D. Don) to evaluate accuracy and precision in the centroid method. Centroid volume estimates were also compared to volume estimates from existing whole-tree volume equations developed for another geographic region. This study found that one proxy function produced unbiased volume estimates while the other was biased. Volume estimates from the whole-tree equations were also biased. However, the volume estimates from the whole-tree equations were more precise than those from the centroid method. These results support previous studies that the centroid method can produce reliable volumes of trees when no other reliable volume equations exist.

본 논문에서는 컬러 정보와 형태 정보를 이용한 상표 영상 검색 시스템을 제안하였다. 컬러 정보는 영역을 분할하여 영역별 컬러 분포 히스토그램 특성에 근거한 컬러 정보를 이용하였고, 형태 정보는 경계면 추출, 무게 중심 추출, angular 샘플링 등의 전처리 과정과 무게 중심으로부터 경계면까지 거리의 합, 표준 편차, 장/단축 비율을 계산을 이용하였다. 특히, 무게중심을 이용한 angular 샘플링을 이용하여 특징을 추출하고 처리 시간을 줄일 수 있었다. 사용자는 컬러와 형태 정보에 의한 검색을 수행하고, 또한 가중치를 부여함으로써 두 방법을 혼합하여 사용할 수 있다.

영상 검색 시스템이란 영상이 갖는 다양한 특징을 바탕으로 똑같거나 유사한 영상을 검색하여 제공하는 시스템이다. 본 논문에서는 영상의 컬러와 형태를 기반으로 한 상표 영상 검색 시스템을 제시한다. 영상을 영역별로 분할하고 영역별 컬러 분포 히스토그램을 추출하여 컬러 정보로 이용한다. 경계면 추출, 무게 중심 추출, angular 샘플링 등의 전처리 과정과 무게 중심으로부터 경계면 까지 거리의 합, 표준 편차, 장/단축 비율을 계산하여 형태정보로 이용한다. 이렇게 추출된 컬러와 형태 정보를 이용하여 유사성 측정을 통한 검색을 수행한다.

This study was conducted to compare volumes estimated from two taper functions and observed volumes of Chamaecyparis obtusa trees to evaluate accuracy and precision of centroid method. Centroid volume estimates were also compared with volume estimates from existing Forest Resources Evaluation and Prediction Program. The results of this study showed that Gregoire's simple taper function produced unbiased volume estimates while the others were biased. Volume estimates from the Forest Resources Evaluation and Prediction Program were also biased when applied in the Jangseong National Forest regions. These results suggested that the centroid method could produce reliable stem volumes of trees when no other reliable stem volume equations exist.

An image retrieval system is a piece of software that searches identical or similar images based on various image-specific features. This paper proposes a trademark image retrieval system that uses image colors and forms. In the proposed system, input images are segmented into several other regions, and color distribution histograms for different regions are extracted for use as color information. The proposed system uses form information through the preprocessing process such as boundary surface extraction, centroid extraction, angular sampling and, and through calculating the sums of the distances between the centroid and the boundary surfaces, standard deviations, and the ratios between long and short axes. Like this, the color and form information extracted is used to perform retrieval through measuring similarity.

In the case of the tracking system with an active camera, it is very difficult to guarantee real-time processing due to the attribute of vision system which handles large amounts of data at once and has time delay to process. The reliability of the processed result is also badly influenced by the slow sampling time and uncertainty caused by the image processing. In this paper, we figure out dynamic characteristics of pixels reflected on the image plane and derive the mathematical model of the vision tracking system which includes the actuating part and the image processing part. Based on this model, we find a controller that stabilizes the system and enhances the tracking performance to track a target rapidly. The centroid is used as the position index of moving object and the DC motor in the actuating part is controlled to keep the identified centroid at the center point of the image plane.

A motion planning algorithm is presented in this paper for a commercialized quadruped walking of robot pet. Stable walking is the basic requirement for a commercial-purpose legged robot. In order to secure the walking stability, modified body sway to the centroid of support polygon is addressed. By representation of walking motion with respect to the world coordinate system rather than body coordinate, it is possible to design the several gaits in unified fashion. The initial gait posture is introduced to maximize the stride and to achieve fast walking. The proposed walking motion planning is verified through computer simulation and experiments.

This paper describes a mathematical model and its utilization algorithm for calculating the accurate target position on the ellipsoidal earth surface which corresponds to a range-azimuth coordinates of unprocessed synthetic aperture radar (SAR) images. A geometrical model which is a set of coordinate transformations is described. The side-looking directional angle (off-nadir angle) is determined in an iterative fashion by using the model and the accurate slant range which is calculated from the range sampling timing of the instrument. The algorithm can be applied not only for the geolocation of SAR images but also for the high quality SAR image generation by calculating accurate Doppler parameters.

압축 센싱은 기존의 섀넌/나이키스트 이론보다 낮은 샘플링률로 신호를 샘플링 하여도 원신호로 복원할 수 있다는 이론이다. 본 논문에서는 압축 센싱을 이용하여 반향 신호의 정량적 주파수 특성을 직접 추출하여 이를 이용한 초음파 감쇠 지수 예측 방법을 제안한다. 일반적인 초음파 감쇠 지수 예측 방법들은 시간 영역에서 수집된 반향 신호를 Fourier 변환 등을 통해 주파수 영역으로 변환하는데, 제안하는 예측 방법은 압축 센싱으로 수집된 데이터를 복원하는 과정에서 적용하는 basis 행렬을 이용하여 시간 영역으로의 완전한 신호 복원 없이 반향 신호의 주파수 특성을 직접 추출하여 감쇠 지수를 예측한다. 3가지의 basis 행렬을 통해 주파수 영역에서 복원된 반향 신호에 대하여 다중 참조 신호를 이용한 Centroid Downshift 방법으로 감쇠 지수를 예측하여 각각의 예측 정확도와 실행 시간을 비교 분석하였다. 컴퓨터 모의 실험 결과 이산 코사인 변환(DCT) 행렬을 적용하는 경우, 50%의 압축률에서는 압축 센싱을 적용하지 않은 경우와 0.35% 이내의 예측 정확도를 보였으며, 압축률을 70%까지 높이는 경우에도 약 6% 이내의 평균 예측 오차를 보였다. 제안한 압축 센싱을 적용한 반향 신호의 주파수 특성 추출 방법은 향후 주파수 영역의 다른 정량적 초음파 분석 방법에 적용할 수 있다.

This study investigates the role of accidental torsion in seismic reliability assessment. The analyzed structures are regular 6-story and 20-story steel office buildings. The eccentricity in a floor plan was simulated by shifting the mass from the centroid by 5% of the dimension normal to earthquake shaking. The eccentricity along building heights was replicated by Latin hypercube sampling. The fragilities for immediate occupancy and life safety were evaluated using 0.7% and 2.5% inter-story drift limits. Two limit-state probabilities and the corresponding earthquake intensities were compared. The effect of ignoring accidental torsion and the use of code accidental eccentricity were also assessed. The results show that accidental torsion may influence differently the structural reliability and limit-state PGAs. In terms of structural reliability, significant differences in the probability of failure are obtained depending on whether accidental torsion is considered or not. In terms of limit-state PGAs, accidental torsion does not have a significant effect. In detail, ignoring accidental torsion leads to underestimates in low-rise buildings and at small drift limits. On the other hand, the use of code accidental eccentricity gives conservative estimates, especially in high-rise buildings at small drift limits.
