The objective of this research is to detect the papaya fruits on tree in an orchard. The detection of papaya on natural background is difficult because colors of fruits and background such as leaves are similarly green. We cannot separate it from leaves by color information. Therefore, this research will use shape information instead. First, we detect an interested object by detecting its boundary using edge detection technique. However, the edge detection will detect every objects boundary in the image. Therefore, shape description technique will be used to describe which one is the interested object boundary. The good shape description should be invariant in scaling, rotating, and translating. The successful concept is to use Fourier series, which is called "Fourier Descriptors". Elliptic Fourier Descriptors can completely represent any shape, which is selected to describe the shape of papaya. From the edge detection image, it takes a long time to match every boundary directly. The pre-processing task will reduce non-papaya edge to speed up matching time. The deformable template is used to optimize the matching. Then, clustering the similar shapes by the distance between each centroid, papaya can be completely detected from the background.

It is very important not only to detect PD signal but also to locate PD source in power cable line including its accessories. In this paper, the PID localization technique using interruption of metal sheath of cable or accessory is described. By interruption of metal sheath, the polarity of PD pulse to be measured on each part can be compared. With this technique, the exact location of PD in the accessory which has some defects can be found. Although the 'Soft' interruption method, that is, cable sheath is divided by semi-conductive layer with the resistance of higher than 1 k$\Omega$, was used instead of 'Hard' interruption method, it is also possible to detect exact location of PD. This technique is considered to be very effective for detecting PD localization in the type test of cable and accessories.

In this paper, we propose the novel test method to detect short and open faults in CMOS Op-amp. The proposed method is composed of two test steps - the offset and the high frequency test. Using HSPICE simulation, we get a 100％ fault coverage. To verify the proposed method, we design and fabricate the CMOS op-amp that contains various short and open faults through Hyundai 0.65$\mu\textrm{m}$ 2-poly 2-metal CMOS process. Experimental results of fabricated chip demonstrate that the proposed test method can detect short and open faults in CMOS Op-amp.

Human frequently communicate non-linguistic information with gesture. So, we must develop efficient and fast gesture recognition algorithms for more natural human-computer interaction. However, it is difficult to recognize gesture automatically because human's body is three dimensional object with very complex structure. In this paper, we suggest a method which is able to detect key frames and frame changes, and to classify image sequence into some gesture groups. Gesture is classifiable according to moving part of body. First, we detect some frames that motion areas are changed abruptly and save those frames as key frames, and then use the frames to classify sequences. We symbolize each image of classified sequence using Principal Component Analysis(PCA) and clustering algorithm since it is better to use fewer components for representation of gestures. Symbols are used as the input symbols for the Hidden Markov Model(HMM) and recognized as a gesture with probability calculation.

In CDMA, the currently used PN code acquisition methods detect the phase of the incoming PN signal on the basis of ML estimation. In serial search strategy, it takes relatively long time for PN code acquisition. A study related to reduce processing time of PN code acquisition is important. Therefore we propose a reference code design for a new algorithm that a reference code and the received PN code are fully correlated to detect the transmitted PN code, in detail, the relative phase offset j of c⒡. After choosing two weight factors, we show the mathematical analysis and derivation for the reference code design.

Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) was used to specifically detect Phytophthora infestans by analyzing the sequences of the ribosomal internal transcribed spacer regions (ITS) in the rDNA of the Phytophthora species. Based on the sequence data, PISP-1 together with the ITS3 primer were used to detect p. infestans. A single ca. 450 bp segment was observed in P. infestans, but not in the other fungal or bacterial isolates. Two factors, the annealing temperature and template DNA quantity, were investigated to determine the optimal conditions. Using these species-specific primers, a unique band was obtained within annealing temperatures of $55^{\circ}C$-$61^{\circ}C$ and template DNA levels of 10 pg-100 ng.

This paper presents a geometric method that can detect and compute all conic sections in the intersection of two tori. Conic sections contained in a torus must be circles. Thus, when two tori intersect in a conic section, the intersection curve must be a circle as well. Circles in a torus are classified into profile circles, cross-sectional circlet, and Yvone-Villarceau circles. Based on a geometric classification of these circles, we present a procedural method that can detect and construct all intersection circles between two tori. All computations can be carried out using simple geometric operations only: e.g., circle-circle intersections, circle-line intersections, vector additions, and inner products. Consequently, this simple structure makes our algorithm robust and efficient, which is an important advantage of our geometric approach over other conventional methods of surface intersection.

Gas metal arc welding(GMAW) is regarded as one of the best candidate for welding automation in industrial joining application. It is important to monitor the weld quality for the high performance weld automation. In GMAW, weld quality is closely related to arc stability especially. In this paper, arc light signal is measured and spectrum analyzed to the detect the variation of the weld quality. The FFT of the signal showed that the amplitude variance of FFT power spectrum was very large in poor weld process such as the decrease of weld bead width and height. The results show that it is possible to detect the weld defect position in weld process.

The Dynamic Channel Assignment have a detect which satisfy lots of conditions. It makes system efficiency depreciate because the Dynamic Channel Assignment executes computation process of several steps that demands lots of time. In this paper, we have proposed a traffic control algorithm which makes simple computation process for improving the detect.
