When a device is mounted on the PCB, it is impossible to have zero defects due to many unpredictable problems. Among these problems, devices with bent corner leads due to mis-handling and which are not placed at a given point measured along the axis are principal problem in SMT(Surface Mounting Technology). It is obvious that given the complexity of the inspection task, the efficiency of a human inspection is questionable. Thus, new technologies for inspection of SMD(Surface Mounting Device) should be explored. An example of such technologies is the Automated Visual Inspection(AVI), wherein the vision system plays a key role to correct this problem. In implementing vision system, high-speed and high-precision are indispensable for practical purposes. In this paper, a new algorithm based on the Radon transform which uses a projection technique to inspect the FIC(Flat Integrated Circuit) device is proposed. The proposed algorithm is compared with other algorithms by measuring the position error(center and angle) and the processing time for the device image, characterized by line scan camera.

Shape Contexts Recognition(SCR) is a technology recognizing shapes such as figures and objects, greatly supporting technologies such as character recognition, motion recognition, facial recognition, and situational recognition. However, generally SCR makes histograms for all contours and maps the extracted contours one to one to compare Shape A and B, which leads to slow progress speed. Thus, this paper has made simple yet more effective algorithm with optimized contour, finding the outlines according to shape figures and using the improved Douglas-Peucker algorithm and Harris corner detector. With this improved method, progress speed is recognized as faster.

본 논문은 MPEG-4 기반의 모바일 비디오 서비스 환경에서 발생하는 화질열화 현상의 하나인 블륵킹 현상을 제거하는 기법을 제안한다. 제안된 기법은 전처리 과정과 3가지 모드의 디블록킹 필터 및 후처리 과정으로 구성되어 있으며 각 모드는 블록경계의 특성에 따라 적용된다. 모드 1은 블록경계의 양쪽 모두가 평탄한 경우에 해당하며 가장 강한 필터를 적용한다. 모드 2는 블록경계의 한쪽만 평탄한 경우이고 이때는 비대칭 필터를 적용한다. 모드 3은 블록경계를 중심으로 양쪽 모두 복잡한 경우이고, 이 경우에는 블록경계의 주파수 특성을 고려하여 화소값을 보정한다. 전처리 과정에서는 각 필터의 모드를 올바르게 선택하도록 블록 내부의 불필요한 신호를 제거하고, 후처리 과정에서는 대각선 에지와 블록의 모서리가 만나는 경우 발생하는 corner outlier를 제거하여 주관적 화질을 향상시킨다. 실험결과에서 제안한 방법이 PSNR 관점에서 후처리 과정을 거치지 않는 비디오의 경우와 비교하여 약 0.7dB, MPEG-4 디블록킹 결과와 비교하여 약 0.4dB 향상됨을 보인다.

The proposed paper extracts the region of interest from the x-lay input image and compares it with the reference image. The x-ray image has the same shape, but the size, direction and position of the object are photographed differently. In this way, we measure the erection difference of darkness and darkness using the similarity measurement method for the same object. Distance measurement also calculates the distance between two points with vector coordinates (x, y, z) of x-lay data. Experimental results show that the proposed method improves the accuracy of ROI extraction and the reference image matching time is more efficient than the conventional method.

The current study performed formability analysis of a heat exchanger separator for an electric vehicle to apply a high-strength aluminum sheet based on parametric analysis. Mechanical properties for sheet metal forming simulation were evaluated by tensile test, bulge test, and Nakajima test. Two-stage crash forming was established by considering the mass production process using conventional low-strength aluminum sheets. In this study, FEM for the two-stage forming process was conducted to optimize the corner radius and height for improving the formability. In addition, the possibility of a one-stage forming process application was confirmed through FEM. The prototype of the sample was manufactured as FEM results to validate the parametric analysis. Finally, this result can provide a one-stage forming process design method using the high-strength aluminum sheet for weight reduction of a heat exchanger separator for an electric vehicle.

In this paper we propose a new pre-processing algorithm applied to multi-view video coding using color compensation algorithm based on image features. Multi-view images have a difference between neighboring frames according to illumination and different camera characteristics. To compensate this color difference, first we model the characteristics of cameras based on frame's feature from each camera and then correct the color difference. To extract corresponding features from each frame, we use Harris corner detection algorithm and characteristic coefficients used in the model is estimated by using Gauss-Newton algorithm. In this algorithm, we compensate RGB components of target images, separately from the reference image. The experimental results with many test images show that the proposed algorithm peformed better than the histogram based algorithm as much as 14 % of bit reduction and 0.5 dB ~ 0.8dB of PSNR enhancement.

The aim of this study is to investigate the reliability of strong motion records processed by causal and acausal Butterworth filters in comparison to the results obtained from a synthetic accelerogram. For this purpose, the fault parallel component of the Bolu record of the Duzce earthquake is modeled with a sum of exponentially damped sinusoidal components. Noise-free velocities and displacements are then obtained by analytically integrating the synthetic acceleration model. The analytical velocity and displacement signals are used as a standard with which to judge the validity of the signals obtained by filtering with causal and acausal filters and numerically integrating the acceleration model. The results show that the acausal filters are clearly preferable to the causal filters due to the fact that the response spectra obtained from the acausal filters match the spectra obtained from the simulated accelerogram better than that obtained by causal filters. The response spectra are independent from the order of the filters and from the method of integration (whether analytical integration after a spline fit to the synthetic accelerogram or the trapezoidal rule). The response spectra are sensitive to the chosen corner frequency of both the causal and the acausal filters and also to the inclusion of the pads. Accurate prediction of the static residual displacement (SRD) is very important for structures traversing faults in the near-fault regions. The greatest adverse effect of the high pass filters is their removal of the SRD. However, the noise-free displacements obtained by double integrating the synthetic accelerogram analytically preserve the SRD. It is thus apparent that conventional high pass filters should not be used for processing near-fault strong-motion records although they can be reliably used for far-fault records if applied acausally. The ground motion parameters such as ARIAS intensity, HUSID plots, Housner spectral intensity and the duration of strong-motion are found to be insensitive to the causality of filters.

Vehicular networks are a promising application of mobile ad hoc networks. In this paper, we introduce an efficient broadcast technique, called CB-S (Cell Broadcast for Streets), for vehicular networks with occlusions such as skyscrapers. In this environment, the road network is fragmented into cells such that nodes in a cell can communicate with any node within a two cell distance. Each mobile node is equipped with a GPS (Global Positioning System) unit and a map of the cells. The cell map has information about the cells including their identifier and the coordinates of the upper-right and lower-left corner of each cell. CB-S has the following desirable property. Broadcast of a message is performed by rebroadcasting the message from every other cell in the terrain. This characteristic allows CB-S to achieve an efficient performance. Our simulation results indicate that messages always reach all nodes in the wireless network. This perfect coverage is achieved with minimal overhead. That is, CB-S uses a low number of nodes to disseminate the data packets as quickly as probabilistically possible. This efficiency gives it the advantage of low delay. To show these benefits, we give simulations results to compare CB-S with four other broadcast techniques. In practice, CB-S can be used for information dissemination, or to reduce the high cost of destination discovery in routing protocols. By also specify the radius of affected zone, CB-S is also more efficient when broadcast to a subset of the nodes is desirable.

The main stream of presentation is interrupted because of the direct manipulation of their PC frequently so as to control the screen and file open and so on. A variety of products have been developed to solve these inconveniences of the conventional laser beam pointer [LBP] by simply adding a mouse function to the previous LBP. However. the LBPs fully supporting a mouse function are not yet appeared. In this paper. we developed the LBP fully fulfilling a mouse function using mono-camera as well as a robust image processing and analyzed the position detection accuracy. Finally we verified the developed LBP does not only fulfill a mouse function but also solve the defects of the current laser pointer such as inconvenient installation and Position detection errors due to the illumination and viewing direction changes.

In this paper, we propose the 3D shape reconstruction method that combine the mosaic method and the active stereo matching using the laser beam. The active stereo matching method detects the position information of the irradiated laser beam on object by analyzing the color and brightness variation of left and right image, and acquires the depth information in epipolar line. The mosaic method extracts feature point of image by using harris comer detection and matches the same keypoint between the sequence of images using the keypoint descriptor index method and infers correlation between the sequence of images. The depth information of the sequence image was calculated by the active stereo matching and the mosaic method. The merged depth information was reconstructed to the 3D shape information by wrapping and blending with image color and texture. The proposed reconstruction method could acquire strong the 3D distance information, and overcome constraint of place and distance etc, by using laser slit beam and stereo camera.
