A detailed and thorough parametric study of digital image correlation method is presented. A theoretical background and development of the method were introduced and the effects of various parameters on the determination of displacement outputs from the raw original and deformed image information were examined. Use of the normalized correlation coefficient, the use of 20 to 40 pixels for a searching window side, 6 variables searching, bi-cubic spline sub pixel interpolations and the use of coarse-fine search are some of the key choices among the results of parametric studies. The displacement outputs can be further processed with two dimensional curve fitting for the data noise reduction as well as displacement gradient calculation.

This paper presents algorithms which are region labeling and data structure of a boundary segmentation as image intermediate description process. In the method, the algorithms are region labeling, boundary segmentation, line and curve fitting and extracting data structure of each segment. As a result, a data structure of image is described by a set of region number, segment number, line or curve, starting point and end point of each segment and coefficient of line or curve. These data structures would serve for higher level processing as object recognition. For example we will use this data structure to solve the correspondence problem of stereoscopic image information. And we verified these algorithms through the image reconstruction of data structure.

In this paper we applied radar rainfall for assessment that radar can be used for flood forecasting. The radar data observed at Imjin-River radar site was adjusted using conditional merging method to estimate simulated runoff in Anseon-cheon basin. Also we use two dimensional physical and grid based model call $Vflo^{TM}$. As a result we could find simulated hydrologic curve shows good fitting with observed hydrologic curve even parameters of the model were not calibrated. If we calibrate the parameters, we can expect better hydrologic curve. And radar rainfall can be used for water resources fields and flood forecasting in Korea.

We present our analysis results for an updated orbital ephemeris for the dipping low mass X-ray binary 4U 1624-49, using the light curve collected by the All Sky Monitor (ASM) on board the Rossi X-ray Timing Explorer (RXTE) and the Monitor of All-Sky X-ray Image (MAXI). To make clear dip profiles, the light curve from the ASM and the MAXI were divided into ten 500d segments and four 400d segments for ASM and MAXI light curves, respectively, and folded with the linear ephemeris proposed by Smale et al. (2001). The phases of dip centers were determined by the method adopted from Hu et al. (2008). The phase drift was then fitted with a linear function. We obtained an updated orbital period of 0.869896(1) d and a phase zero epoch of JD 2450088.6618(57). No clear orbital period derivative is detected with a 2-sigma upper limit of $1.4{\times}10^{-6}(yr)^{-1}$ from a quadratic curve fitting of the dip phase evolution.

In this paper, a method reasonably predicting soil water characteristic curve of domestic weathered granite soils was suggested, based on the test results obtained through experiments. In other words, a method to estimate the parameters of Fredlund and Xing's equation using an ANN (artificial neural network) was proposed. The particle size distribution, compacted water content and void ratio were used as input data in the ANN model for predicting the parameters, since it was found that these basic soil properties affect the parameters obtained from the test results and the fitting results of SWCC. The network model proposed in this study to obtain the parameters of Fredlund and Xing's SWCC equation produced reliable predictions, and the precision of the prediction results from the proposed method was high, in comparison with the prediction results of other methods.

Asymmetry of rotor systems is an important factor for identification of dynamic characteristics including the stability and response of rotors and for condition monitoring. In this work, asymmetry of rotors is identified by applying curve-fitting method to the directional frequency response functions (dFRFs), which are known as a powerful tool for detecting the presence and degree of asymmetry. This method minimizes least square error between analytical and measured dFRFs by iteratively updating physical parameters associated with rotor asymmetry. The effectiveness of the identification method is demonstrated by experiments with a laboratory test rotor.

A new calculation method for iron loss coefficients is proposed by using the Steinmetz equation from Epstein data. The hysteresis loss must have linear characteristic according to the frequency. However, the existing iron loss coefficients are defined by formula of frequency. In this case, the hysteresis loss has non-linear characteristics by frequency. So, in this paper, the iron loss coefficients were defined by a function of the magnetic flux density, and the iron loss calculation is applied for Interior Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor(IPMSM) of 600(W) and 200(W). The iron loss calculation results and the experimental results are compared according to the various materials.

This paper present a inductance calculation method of Switched Reluctance Motor (SRM) for torque characteristic analysis using analytical model. Recently, many approaches of inductance calculations are accomplished with Finite Element Analysis (FEM) and curve fitting method using complex nonlinear magnetic circuit model. It this paper, a simple method for inductance calculation is proposed based on the motor design parameters. The simulation result of the proposed method are compared with a FEM analysis for, and a good accuracy is obtained.

This paper presents a method for developing a TM (Traversability Map) from a DTM (Digital Terrain Model) collected by remote sensors of autonomous mobile robots. Such a map can be used to plan traversable paths and estimate navigation speed quantitatively in real time for robots capable of performing autonomous tasks over rough terrain environments. The proposed method consists of three parts: a DTM partition module which divides the DTM into equally spaced patches, a terrain information module which extracts the slope and roughness of the partitioned patches using the curve fitting and the fractal-based triangular prism method, and a traversability analysis module which assesses traversability incorporating with extracted terrain information and fuzzy inference to construct a TM. The potential of the proposed method is validated via simulation works over a set of fractal DTMs.

Mode Synthesis Method is applied to analyize the vibration characteristics of the press machine sold at present. Vibration analysis of the machine has not been done thoroughly as far, because of its complicated structure and much bigger unlinearity of its vibration characteristics. The press was disassembled by parts, and it was experimented by the exciting techniques and curve fitting methods, and analyzed by the Mode Synthesis Method. The 2 results were showed good agreements at each part. We confirming it, the machine was assembled, and experimented and analyzed by the same method. Also good agreements between 2 methods were obtained. In addition, impact responses of the actual moving press were agreed with the analyzed values by the Mode Synthesis Method. And we found that the first bending mode of the slide was ruling the vibration characteristics of the press.
