We present a relevance feedback approach based on multi-class support vector machine (SVM) learning and cluster-merging which can significantly improve the retrieval performance in region-based image retrieval. Semantically relevant images may exhibit various visual characteristics and may be scattered in several classes in the feature space due to the semantic gap between low-level features and high-level semantics in the user's mind. To find the semantic classes through relevance feedback, the proposed method reduces the burden of completely re-clustering the classes at iterations and classifies multiple classes. Experimental results show that the proposed method is more effective and efficient than the two-class SVM and multi-class relevance feedback methods.

Based on N-body simulations, we find out that significant fraction of dynamically formed BH-BH (10 $M_{\odot}$ and NS-NS (1.4 $M_{\odot$ ecah) binaries are ejected from globular clusters. About 30 percent of compact stars are ejected in the form of binary. The merging time of ejected binary depends on the velocity dispersion of globular cluster. Some of ejected binaries have merging time-scales shorter than Hubble time and are expected to produce gravitational waves that can be detectable by the advanced ground-based interferometers. The merger rates of ejected BH-BH and NS-NS binaries per globular cluster are estimated to be 3.5 and 17 per Gyr, respectively. Assuming the spatial density of globular clusters as 8.4 $h^3$ clusters $Mpc^{-3}$ and extrapolating to the horizon distance of the advanced LIGO-Virgo network, we expect the detection rates solely attributed to BH-BH and NS-NS with cluster origin are to be 42 and 1.7 $yr^{-1}$, respectively. Besides, we find out that BH-NS binary ejection hardly occurs in globular clusters and dynamically formed compact binaries may possibly be the source of short GRBs whose locations are far from host galaxies.

Structure in the universe forms hierarchically with the small scales forming first and merging into larger scales. Galaxy clusters are at the pinnacle of the formation process. Peering far into the universe, we can observe galaxy clusters early in their evolution. SpARCSJ1049+56 is a galaxy cluster located at a redshift of 1.71. It has been shown to be rich in cluster galaxies, to have intense star formation, and to have a significant amount of molecular gas. Through careful control of systematics, we detected the weak-lensing signal from this distant galaxy cluster. I will present our HST infrared weak-lensing detection of the cluster with a focus on the method. Our lensing analysis found that the cluster is massive and is rare in a LambdaCDM universe. I will also present the Chandra X-ray discovery of cold gas coincident with the intense star formation and discuss the implications of the detection.

Abell 2744 is a giant merging cluster, called the Pandora's Cluster, at the redshift of z=0.308 (corresponding to a distance of 1270 Mpc). Taking the advantage of the deep high resolution images in the Hubble Frontier Field program, we study the properties of compact stellar systems including globular clusters and ultracompact dwarfs (UCDs) as well as dwarf galaxies in this cluster. We find a rich population of globular clusters and UCDs in Abell 2744. The spatial distribution of these objects is consistent with the mass map derived from lensing analysis, while showing a significant offset from the X-ray map of hot gas. The faint end of the luminosity function of the galaxies in the red sequence is fit by a flat slope, showing no faint upturn. We discuss these finding in relation with the origin of UCDs, formation of red sequence dwarf galaxies, and formation of the Pandora's cluster.

We analyze the halo and galaxy catalogs from the Millennium simulations at redshifts z=0, 0.5, 1 to determine the alignment profiles of cluster galaxies in terms of the matter density correlation coefficient and discuss a cosmological implication our result has for breaking parameter degeneracies. For each selected cluster, we measure the alignment between the major axes of the pseudo inertia tensors from all satellites within cluster's virial radius and from only those satellites within some smaller radius. Then we average the measured values over the similar-mass sample to determine the cluster galaxy alignment profile as a function of top-hat scale difference at each redshift. It is shown that the alignment profile of cluster galaxies is well approximated by a power-law of the nonlinear density correlation coefficient that is independent of the power spectrum normalization and bias factor. The alignment profile of cluster galaxies is found to have higher amplitude and lower power-law index when averaged over the larger-mass sample and to have rather weak redshift-dependence. This result is consistent with the picture that the satellite galaxies retain the memory of the external tidal fields right after merging and infalling into the clusters but they gradually lose the initial alignment tendency as the cluster's relaxation proceeds. Demonstrating that the nonlinear density correlation coefficient varies sensitively with the density parameter and neutrino mass fraction, we discuss a potential power of the cluster galaxy alignment profile as an independent probe of cosmology.

Tides caused by the Galactic gravitational field affect the current dynamical structure of globular clusters in the Galaxy. Indeed, the observed feature of tidal tails stretching beyond globular clusters' tidal radii provides a key information of interaction with the gravitational field of the Galaxy and kinematical orbit of the clusters, which can be an evidence of the merging scenario of the Galaxy formation and evolution. To find such a tidal feature, we have studied spatial density distribution of stars around five globular clusters in the Galactic halo and one cluster in the Galactic bulge, for which we have used wide-field deep photometric data of gri and JHK bands obtained from the MegaCam and WIRCam of the CFHT. Applying the statistical contrast filtering of field stars in the color-magnitude plane of detected stars around five halo clusters, we have found features of tidal tails for four clusters M53, M15, NGC 5053, and NGC 5466. The detected over-density tidal features are well aligned with the cluster's orbits and stretched into the direction of the Galactic center. Statistical analysis indicate that these tidal tails are believed to be cluster stars that have escaped due to the tidal effects to the clusters. A similar tidal feature to that of halo clusters is also detected for the bulge cluster NGC 6626, while the over-density feature seems to be extended into the Galactic plane rather than into the orbital direction and the Galactic center. Conclusively, our result adds further observational evidence of the merging scenario of the Galaxy formation and evolution.

To obtain a reliable estimate of the cold dark matter (CDM) substructure mass function in a dense cluster environment, one needs to understand how long a merged halo can survive within the host halo. Measuring disruption time scale of merged halos in a dense cluster environment, we attempt to construct the realistic CDM mass function that can be compared with stellar mass functions to get a stellar-to-halo mass ratio. For this, we performed a set of high-resolution simulations of cold dark matter halos with properties similar to the Virgo cluster. Field halos outside the main halo are detected using a Friend-of-Friend algorithm with a linking length of 0.02. To trace the sub-halo structures even after the merging with the main halo, we use their core structures that are defined to be the most 10% bound particles.

A merging galaxy cluster is a useful laboratory to study many interesting astrophysical processes such as intracluster medium heating, particle acceleration, and possibly dark matter self-interaction. However, without understanding the merger scenario of the system, interpretation of the observational data is severely limited. In this work, we focus on the off-axis binary cluster merger Abell 115, which possesses many remarkable features. The cluster has two cool cores in X-ray with disturbed morphologies and a single giant radio relic just north of the northern X-ray peak. In addition, there is a large discrepancy (almost a factor of 10) in mass estimate between weak lensing and dynamical analyses. To constrain the merger scenario, we perform a hydrodynamical simulation with the adaptive mesh refinement code RAMSES. We use the multi-wavelength observational data including X-ray, weak-lensing, radio, and optical spectroscopy to constrain the merger scenario. We present detailed comparisons between the simulation results and these multi-wavelength observations.

Diffuse radio emissions at the outskirt of merging galaxy clusters called radio relics provide a unique channel to understand the merger history. We present a recent discovery of double radio relics in the cluster merger ZwCL1447+2619 from our recent Giant Metrewave Radio Telescope observations. Both Band 3 (300-500 MHz) and Band 4 (550-850 MHz) data reveal a large (~1Mpc) and thin (~40kpc) radio relic ~1Mpc from the cluster X-ray center and a small radio relic (~0.3 Mpc) on the opposite side. These remarkable radio data together with Subaru weak-lensing analysis and Chandra X-ray observations enable us to reconstruct the merger scenario. Our preliminary analysis suggests that the cluster ZwCL J1447+2619 is a post-merger near its returning phase. In addition, using Keck DEIMOS spectroscopy, we find many "green" and "blue" member galaxies are located between the radio relics, a possible indication of merger shock-driven star formation activities.

본 논문에서는 카메라로부터 입력된 영상으로부터 쌀, 커피, 녹차 등 다양한 원료를 양품과 불량품으로 자동 분류하기 위한 분류 모델을 제안한다. 현재 농산물 원료 분류를 위해서 주로 숙달된 노동력의 육안 선택에 의존하고 있지만 작업시간이 길어질수록 반복적인 작업에 의해 분류 능력이 현저히 떨어지는 문제점이 있다. 노동력에 부분적으로 의존하는 기존 제품의 문제점을 해결하기 위해, 본 논문에서는 평균-이동 클러스터링 알고리즘과 단계별 영역 병합 알고리즘을 결합하는 비전기반 자동 원료 분류 알고리즘을 제안한다. 우선 입력 원료 영상에서 평균-이동 클러스터링 알고리즘을 적용하여 영상을 N개의 클러스터 영역으로 분할한다. 다음단계에서 N개의 클러스터 영역 중에서 대표 영역을 선택하고 이웃 영역들의 영역의 색상과 위치 근접성을 기반으로 단계별 영역 병합 알고리즘을 적용하여 유사한 클러스터 영역을 병합한다. 병합된 원료 객체는 RG, GB, BR의 2D 색상 분표로 표현되고, 병합된 원료 객체에 대해 색상 분포 타원을 만든다. 이후 미리 실험적으로 설정된 임계값을 적용하여 원료를 양품과 불량품을 구분한다. 다양한 원료 영상에 대해 본 논문에서 제안하는 알고리즘을 적용한 결과 기존의 클러스터링 알고리즘이나 상업용 분류 방법에 비해 사용자의 인위적 조작이 덜 필요하고 분류성능이 우수한 결과를 나타냄을 알 수 있었다.
