This paper presents a novel iris recognition method using wavelet transform and curve simplification. One-dimensional signals, which are calculated over circles on the iris, are decomposed into a multiple frequency bands. Each decomposed signal is approximated by a piecewise linear curve connecting node points. The curve is simplified by progressively removing unimportant node points while keeping the shape of the curve. Finally, a small number of node points represent features of each signal. Experiment results show that the presented method results in good performance in various noise environments.

Many geotechnical analyses require the investigation of water flow within partially saturated soil zone to incorporate the effect of climatic conditions. It is widely understood that the hydraulic properties of the partially saturated soil should be included in the transient seepage analyses. However, the characteristics of dual porosity soils with dual-mode water retention curve are normally modelled using single-mode mathematical equation for simplification of the analysis. In reality, the rainwater flow can be affected significantly by the dual-mode hydraulic properties of the soil. This paper presents the variations of safety factor for dual porosity soil slope with dual-mode water retention curve and dual-mode unsaturated permeability. This paper includes the development of the new dual-mode unsaturated permeability to represent the characteristics of soil with the dual-mode water retention curve. The finite element analyses were conducted to examine the role of dual-mode water retention curve and dual-mode unsaturated permeability on the variations of safety factor under rainfall loading. The results indicate that the safety factor variations of dual porosity soil slope modelled using the dual-mode water retention curve and the unsaturated permeability equation are lower than those of dual porosity slope modelled using single-mode water retention curve and unsaturated permeability equations.

본 논문은 명함에 명함 원주인의 얼굴 사진을 2차원 바코드 형태로 넣기 위해 얼굴 영상을 단순화하는 것에 관한 연구이다. 명함은 사람들의 인식과 디자인 문제로 인해 ㅎ명함에 사진을 넣지 않아, 명함을 잊어버리는 경우가 허다하다. 이러한 문제를 해결하기 위해 모바일 기기, 인터넷 등을 통해 명함에 관련된 여러 응용 프로그램이 개발되었지만, 기존의 종이 명함의 가치를 따라 잡을 수가 없었다. 이에 1차원 혹은 2차원 바코드를 이용하여 명함 정보를 명함에 넣는 방법이 많이 나왔지만, 얼굴이나 회사의 로고와 같은 영상처럼 데이터가 많은 정보는 넣을 수가 없었다. 이에 본 논문에서는 명함에 데이터가 많은 얼굴 영상을 2D 바코드로 넣을 수 있도록 하기 위한 얼굴 영상 단순화에 관한 연구를 하였다. 이는 얼굴 영역에 있는 얼굴, 귀, 머리, 눈썹, 코, 입, 목 등의 특징 점만을 우리가 찍어 스플라인 곡선을 이용하여 표현하는 것이다. 실험은 직접 카메라를 통해 얼굴 영역을 자동으로 추출하여 각각의 특징들에 특징점을 찍어 생성된 단순화 영상과 원 영상을 보았다. 실험 결과, 단순화된 얼굴 영상은 2D 바코드로 표현이 가능할 만큼 표현량이 줄어들었으며, 효과적으로 특징 표현이 가능함을 확인하였다.

Buck-Boost LLC (BBLLC) converters based on a PWM + phase control strategy are good candidates for high efficiency, high power density and wide input range applications. Nevertheless, they suffer from large computational complexity when it comes to calculating the optimal phase for ZVS of all the switches. In this paper, a method is proposed for a microcontroller unit (MCU) to calculate the optimal phase quickly and accurately. Firstly, a 2-D lookup table of the phase is established with an index of the input voltage and output current. Then, a bilinear interpolation method is applied to improve the accuracy. Meanwhile, simplification of the phase equation is presented to reduce the computational complexity. When compared with conventional curve-fitting and LUT methods, the proposed method makes the best tradeoff among the accuracy of the optimal phase, the computation time and the memory consumption of the MCU. Finally, A 350V-420V input, 24V/30A output experimental prototype is built to verify the proposed method. The efficiency can be improved by 1% when compared with the LUT method, and the computation time can be reduced by 13.5% when compared with the curve-fitting method.

Existing design equations generally overestimate the shear strength of the circular transverse reinforcement. This is due to the simplification of the discrete distribution of the reinforcement to the continuous one and the inappropriate application of the classical truss model to the circular section, which is different in shear-resisting component from the rectangular section. The present study introduces a new model considering the starting point of the diagonal crack, the number of transverse reinforcing bars crossing the crack and the effective strength component of the transverse resistance. This model leads to a simple design equation which is derived using the linear regression method and is in agreement with the lower bound of exact strength curve.

The destruction and fracture of rock masses are crucial components in engineering and there is an increasing demand for the study of the influence of rock mass heterogeneity on the safety of engineering projects. The numerical manifold method (NMM) has a unified solution format for continuous and discontinuous problems. In most NMM studies, material homogeneity has been assumed and despite this simplification, fracture mechanics remain complex and simulations are inefficient because of the complicated topology updating operations that are needed after crack propagation. These operations become computationally expensive especially in the cases of heterogeneous materials. In this study, a heterogeneous model algorithm based on stochastic theory was developed and introduced into the NMM. A new fracture algorithm was developed to simulate the rupture zone. The algorithm was validated for the examples of the four-point shear beam and semi-circular bend. Results show that the algorithm can efficiently simulate the rupture zone of heterogeneous rock masses. Heterogeneity has a powerful effect on the macroscopic failure characteristics and uniaxial compressive strength of rock masses. The peak strength of homogeneous material (with heterogeneity or standard deviation of 0) is 2.4 times that of heterogeneous material (with heterogeneity of 11.0). Moreover, the local distribution of parameter values can affect the configuration of rupture zones in rock masses. The local distribution also influences the peak value on the stress-strain curve and the residual strength. The post-peak stress-strain curve envelope from 60 random calculations can be used as an estimate of the strength of engineering rock masses.

컴퓨터그래픽스에서 다루어지는 3차원 물체들에 대한 곡률과 같은 기하학적 특성들은 메쉬의 모양을 해석함에 있어 매우 중요한 역할을 한다. 부드러운 곡면에서 정의되는 곡률은 메쉬와 같은 이산적 형태에서는 수학적으로 정의할 수 없다. 그러므로 이러한 이산곡률을 어떻게 정의하느냐에 따라 기하학적 연산들의 결과는 많은 영향을 받는다. 본 논문에서는 기존의 곡률 계산법에서 사용하고 있는 단면곡률 계산법의 오류를 지적하고 이에 대한 해결책으로 베이지어 곡선을 이용한 포물선-기반 이산 곡률 계산법을 제시한다. 제안된 방법을 통하면 보다 뾰족한 형태의 정점과 완만한 형태의 정점을 구분할 수 있어서 메쉬 간략화와 같은 기하학적 연산에 쉽게 적용가능하다.

The flow of freshly mixed cement-based material shows thixotropy, which implies some difficulties on robust measurement of its rheological properties: The flow curve of thixotropic materials depends on the used protocol. For examples, higher viscosity is obtained when the rate of shear strain is more quickly increased. Even though precise measurement and modelling of the concrete rheology needs to consider the thixotropic effect, engineers in the concrete field prefer considering as a non-thixotropic Herschel-Bulkley fluid, even more simply Bingham fluid. That is due to robustness of the measurement and application in casting process. In the aspect of simplification, this papers attempts to mimic the thixoropic flow by the non-thixotropic Herschel-Bulkley model. Disregarding the thixotropy of cement based materials allows us to adopt the rheological concept in the field. An optimized protocol to measure the Bingham parameters was finally found based on the accuracy and reproducibility test of cement paste samples, which minimizes the error of simulation stemming from the assumption of non-thixotropy.

In this study, photoplethysmography(PPG) was suggested as a way to replace the ankle-brachial index(ABI) in diagnosing PAD. The method using the PPG was presented for the simplification of the PAD diagnosis method which was used before. And the index related to the health condition of the artery from the PPG measured in both big toes of the subjects through the experiment was drawn. The indexes showing the significant relativeness in the Pearson correlation analysis with the ABI were the stiffness index(SI), reflection index(RI); it was confirmed each of them had the correlation coefficient of 0.688, and 0.637 at p < 0.05. The explanation ability of the linear regression equation derived using ABI, SI and RI was 52.5%. The explanation ability of the secondary curve regression equation derived using ABI, squared SI was 54.7%. It is expected to provide patients with significant results and draw the index associated with PAD by measuring PPG easily in the real life instead of the ambulatory care field.
