In this paper, an estimating damage on external surface of container using Capsize-Gaussian-Function (be called CGF) is presented. The estimation of the damage size can be get directly from two parameters of CGF, these are the depth and the flexure, also the direction of damage. The performance of the present method has been illustrated using an image of damage container, which had been taken from Hanjin Busan Port, after using image processing techniques to do preprocessing of the image, especially, the main used technique is Canny edge detecting that is widely used in computer vision to locate sharp intensity and to find object boundaries in the image, then correlation between the edge image from the preprocessing step and the CGF with three parameters (direction, depth, flexure), as a result, we get an image that perform damage information, and these parameters is an estimator directly to the damage.

낙상은 응급상황이 발생한 노인에게는 적절한 시간이 응급처치가 요구되는 주요한 상태이다. 응급상황의 경우, 낙상의 발생과 낙상 방향은 초기 상태의 응급처치를 위한 중요한 정보로 사용될 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 낙상의 발생과 방향을 정확히 판단하는 시스템을 구현하였다. 낙상과 방향을 감지하기 위하여 하나의 3축 자이로도센서(MPU-6050)를 사용하였다. 제안된 낙상 방향 알고리듬은 X와 Y축 가속도값을 사용하여 낙상여부와 앞, 뒤 좌,우 및 중간방향을 포함한 8개 낙상방향을 감지하였다. 제안된 시스템은 선택적인 가속도 임계값을 사용하여 97% 이상의 낙상과 낙상방향을 성공적으로 감지함을 보였다.

An obstacle avoidance method for a mobile robot is proposed in this paper. Our research was focused on the obstacles that can be found indoors since a robot is usually used within a building. It is necessary that the robot maintain the desired direction after successfully avoiding the obstacles to achieve a good autonomous navigation performance for the specified project mission. Sensors such as laser, ultrasound, and PSD (Position Sensitive Detector) can be used to detect and analyze the obstacles. A PSD sensor was used to detect and measure the height and width of the obstacles on the floor. The PSD sensor was carefully calibrated before measuring the obstacles to achieve better accuracy. Data obtained from the repeated experiments were used to plot an error graph which was fitted to a polynomial curve. The polynomial equation was used to navigate the robot. We also obtained a direction-error model of the robot after avoiding the obstacles. The prototypes for the obstacle and direction-error were modeled using a neural network whose inputs are the obstacle height, robot speed, direction of the wheels, and the error in direction. A mobile robot operated by a notebook computer was setup and the proposed algorithm was used to navigate the robot and avoid the obstacles. The results showed that our algorithm performed very well during the experiments.

기존의 LSE(Least Square Estimation)를 이용한 영상보간 방법은 다른 방법들 보다 고주파 성분인 에지 부분의 보간 성능이 뛰어나고 월등한 주관적 화질의 향상을 보인다. 하지만 같은 고주파 성분인 잡음 성분의 증폭으로 인해 보간 된 일부 영상은 자연스럽지 못하는 문제점이 있다. 또한 연산량과 메모리 요구량이 상당히 높아 실시간이나 고속 구현에 어려움이 따른다. 본 논문에서 제안하는 방법은 단순한 샘플윈도우와 Direction Detector를 사용하여 보간 연산에 사용되는 참조 화소의 개수를 화질의 열화 없이 줄임으로써 연산량과 메모리 요구량을 획기적으로 줄였다. 또한 Bi-Linear 보간 방법을 선택적으로 적용함으로써 기존 방법에서 에러가 생기는 부분을 보완하였다. 컴퓨터 모의 실험 결과 기존의 LSE를 이용한 보간 방법 보다 주관적인 화질이나 객관적인 화질에서도 보다 나은 결과를 보여 주는 것을 확인하였다.

Spraying operation is one of the most essential in an orchard management and it is also hazardous to human body. for automatic and unmanned spraying , an autonomous travelling vehicle is demanded. In this study, a telemeter was developed using infrared beam which could detect trunks and obstacles measure distance and direction from the vehicle travelling in the orchard. The telemeter system was composed of two infrared LED transmitters and receivers, a beam scanning device for continuous object detection , two rotary encoders for angle detector, and a beam level controller for uneven soil surface. The detected distance and direction signal s were sent to personal computer which made for the system display the angular and distance measurements through I/O board. According to a field test in an apple farm, the system detected up to 10m distance under 12 V of transmitted beam intensity, however, it was recommended that the proper beam transmit intensity be 7 v at the 10 m distance, because of the negative effect to human body at 12 V. The error rate of this system was 0.92 % when the actual distance was compared to measured one. The system was feasible at the small error rate. The developed telemeter system was an important part for autonomous travelling vehicle provided the real time object recognition . A direction control system could be constructed suing the system. It is expected that the system could greatly contribute to the development of autonomous farm vehicle.

The problem of tracking moving objects in a video stream is discussed in this pa-per. We discussed the popular technique of optical flow for moving object detection. Optical flow finds the velocity vectors at each pixel in the entire video scene. However, optical flow based methods require complex computations and are sensitive to noise. In this paper, we proposed a new method based on the Hough transform and on voting accumulation for improving the accuracy and reducing the computation time. Further, we applied the Boo-lean based edge detector for edge detection. Edge detection and segmentation are used to extract the moving objects in the image sequences and reduce the computation time of the CHT. The Boolean based edge detector provides accurate and very thin edges. The difference of the two edge maps with thin edges gives better localization of moving objects. The simulation results show that the proposed method improves the accuracy of finding the optical flow vectors and more accurately extracts moving objects' information. The process of edge detection and segmentation accurately find the location and areas of the real moving objects, and hence extracting moving information is very easy and accurate. The Combinatorial Hough Transform and voting accumulation based optical flow measures optical flow vectors accurately. The direction of moving objects is also accurately measured.

Electrostatic capacitance measurement method in a fine hose was proposed, in which two ring-type electrodes were disposed on the hose in the direction of fluid flow instead of the conventional face-to-face electrodes. With the proposed electrode structure, we realized a Ringer's solution exhaustion detector for an IV(invasive vein) injection set. On a 4 mm-diameter hose of IV set, we disposed two ring-type electrodes of 10 mm width at a distance of 5 mm each other and obtained 0.72 pF and 2.51 pF for air and 10 % dextrose Ringer's solution in the hose, respectively. The capacitance between the two electrodes varied with the hose-wraparound coverage of electrode as well as the width of electrode and the distance between the electrodes. For hose-wraparound electrode coverage of 75 %, the capacitance varied from 0.62 pF to 1.98 pF with the Ringer's solution level between the two electrodes. A charge amplifier converted the capacitance. variation into electric signal and a comparator was used to detect whether Ringer's solution was exhausted or not. The result was delivered to a host using a RF transmitter with 320 MHz carrier frequency.

Processing of Scanning electron microscope imaging has been analyzed in both secondary electron (SE) imaging and backscattered electron (BSE) image. Because of unique characteristics of both secondary electron and backscattered electron image, mechanism of imaging process and image quality are quite different each other. For the sake of characterize imaging process, Monte Carlo simulation code have been developed. It simulates electron penetration and depth profile in certain material. In addition, secondary electron and backscattered electron generation process as well as their spatial distribution and energy characteristics can be simulated. Geometries that has fundamental feature have been imaged using the developed Monte Carlo code. Two, SE and BSE images generation process will be discussed. BSE imaging process can be readily used to discriminate in both material and geometry by simply changing position and direction of BSE detector. The developed MC code could be useful to design BSE detector and their position. Furthermore, surface reconstruction technique is possibly developed at the further research efforts. Basics of Monte Carlo simulation method will be discussed as well as characteristics of SE and BSE images.
