As the tools for constructing the cyber world such as virtual theme park on the web, QuickTime VR for 2D panorama Images and VRML for 3D modeling have been used for years. QuickTime VR had some weak points, which were the distortion of images and the difficulties of operating objects vividly and navigating effectively. VRML, though it was able to support various 3D elements to users, was not able to be approached easily by users because of the difficulties for providing viewer. Therefore, in this thesis, we will make it easy for users to approach the contents on the web, offering the concept of X3D components, and profiles and will construct the highly marketable 3D cyber world.

본 논문에서는 DCT 변환 공간상의 배경휘도와 주파수를 고려한 2차원의 개선된 광-적응 효과(luminance adaptation: LA) JND 모델을 제안한다. 기존의 LA JND 모델은 배경 휘도가 중간점인 회색에 가까울수록 JND가 낮고, 배경 휘도가 어두워지거나 밝아질수록 JND 값이 증가하는 U자형의 1차원 함수형태를 보였다. 그러나 기존 LA JND 모델은 주파수에 따른 영향이 반영되지 않았기 때문에 DCT와 같은 주파수 공간상 JND 모델로는 부정확 한 단점이 있다. 본 논문에서는 주파수와 배경휘도에 따른 2차원 LA JND 모델을 제안한다. 주파수에 따른 LA JND 값을 실제 실험을 통해 획득하였다. 실험 방법은 9가지 크기의 배경 휘도가 다르고 공간적 복잡도가 없는 균일한 영상을 대상으로 $8{\times}8$ 실수형 DCT를 수행한 다음, 15가지 경우의 주파수 크기가 다른 계수들에 대해 사람이 인지 할 때 까지 노이즈를 증가시켜서 JND 값을 찾는 방식을 사용하였다. 실험 결과 4 cpd(cycle per degree) 보다 작은 주파수 대역 에서는 기존의 LA JND 모델과 유사한 결과를 얻었지만 4 cpd보다 큰 주파수 대역에서는 오히려 배경휘도가 작은 값을 가질수록 JND가 감소하는 형태를 보였다. 수행한 실험 결과를 반영하여 주파수가 반영된 2차원 LA JND 모델을 제안한다.

Tidal asymmetry and the associated sediment dynamics in the Keum River Estuary has been investigated from a numerical tidal model. Modeling efforts were focussed on the simulation of large drying sandflat exposed at the mouth of the Estuary and dynamic combination of two-dimensional estuary model and one-dimensional river model. Despite strong frictional attenuation within the estuary, the M4 tides reach significant amplitude, resulting in strong tidal distortion. Model results show that the asymmetry over the area exhibit more intense flood flows transport than do less intense ebb flows of longer duration. This causes filling of the estuary as evidenced by large sandflats spread over the inner area. The spatial distribution of peak bottom stress computed from the tidal model suggest that present tidal sedimentation regime may be altered significantly, especially in the approach channel to outer Kunsan port and downstream part of the dike, due to the construction of cross-channel barrier.

One of important inconsistencies in the six-equation model predictions has been found to be the force experienced by a single bubble placed in a convergent stream of liquid. Various sets of governing equations yield different amount of forces to hold the bubble stationary in a convergent nozzle. By using the first order potential flow theory, it is found that the six-equation model can not be used to estimate the force experienced by a deformed bubble. The theoretical value of the particle stress of a bubble in a convergent nozzle flow has been found to be a function of the Weber number when bubble distortion is allowed. This force has been calculated by using different sets of governing equations and compared with the theoretical value. It is suggested in this study that the bubble size distribution function can be used to remove the presented inconsistency by relating the interfacial variables with different moments of the bubble size distribution function. This study also shows that the inconsistencies in the thermal-hydraulic governing equation can be removed by mechanistic modeling of the phasic interface.

Since DVC (Distributed Video Coding) and FRUC (Frame Rate Up Conversion) techniques need to have an efficient motion compensated frame interpolation algorithms. Conventional works of these applications have mainly focused on the performance improvement of overall system. But, in some applications, it is necessary to evaluate how well the MCI (Motion Compensated Interpolation) frame matches the original frame. For this aim, this paper deals with the modeling methods for evaluating the block-based matching cost. First, several matching criteria, which have already been dealt with the motion compensated frame interpolation, are introduced and then combined to make estimate models for the size of MSE (Mean Square Error) noise of the MCI frame to original one. Through computer simulations, it is shown that the block-based cost evaluation models are tested and can be effectively used for estimating the MSE noise.

Parameterization of a 3D triangular mesh is a fundamental problem in various applications of geometric modeling and computer graphics. There are two major paradigms in mesh parameterization: energy functional minimization and the convex combination approach. In general, the convex combination approach is wifely used because of simple concept and one-to-one mapping. However, the approach has some problems such as high distortion near the boundary and time complexity. Moreover, the stability of the linear system may not be preserved according to the geometric information of the mesh. In this paper, we present an extension of the convex combination approach based on the mean value coordinates, which resolves the drawbacks of the convex combination approach. This may be a more practical solution because it is able to generate a stable linear system in a short time.

This study presents a new principle for driving the robot aimed at reducing the position error for the boresonic examination of turbine rotor. The conventional method of inspection is performed by installing manipulator onto the flange of the turbine rotor and connecting a pipe, which is then being pushed into the bore. The longer the pipe gets, the greater sagging and distortion appear, making it difficult for the ultrasonic sensor to contact with the internal surface of the bore. A pneumatic pressure will ensure the front or rear feet of the robot in close contact with the inner wall to prevent slipping, while the ball screw on the body of the robot will rotate to drive it in the axial direction. The compression force required for tight contact was calculated in the form of a three-point support, and a static structural simulation analysis was performed by designing and modeling the robot mechanism. The driving performance and ultrasonic detection ability have been tested by fabricating the robot, the test piece for ultrasonic calibration and the transparent mock-up for robot demonstration. The tests have confirmed that no slipping occurs at a certain pneumatic pressure or over.

A practical single photon source for fiber-based quantum information processing is still lacking. As a possible 1.55-㎛ quantum-dot single photon source, an InGaAsP/InP-air-aperture micropillar cavity is investigated in terms of fabrication tolerance. By properly modeling the processing uncertainty in layer thickness, layer diameter, surface roughness and the cavity shape distortion, the fabrication imperfection effects on the cavity quality are simulated using a finite-difference time-domain method. It turns out that, the cavity quality is not significantly changing with the processing precision, indicating the robustness against the imperfection of the fabrication processing. Under thickness error of ±2 nm, diameter uncertainty of ±2%, surface roughness of ±2.5 nm, and sidewall inclination of 0.5°, which are all readily available in current material and device fabrication techniques, the cavity quality remains good enough to form highly efficient and coherent 1.55-㎛ single photon sources. It is thus implied that a quantum dot contained InGaAsP/InP-air-aperture micropillar cavity is prospectively a practical candidate for single photon sources applied in a fiber-based quantum information network.

Recently, as the necessity of a light-weighted video encoding technique has been rising for applications such as UCC(User Created Contents) or Multiview Video, Distributed Video Coding(DVC) where a decoder, not an encoder, performs the motion estimation/compensation taking most of computational complexity has been vigorously investigated. Wyner-Ziv coding reconstructs an image by eliminating the noise on side information which is decoder-side prediction of original image using channel code. Generally the side information of Wyner-Ziv coding is generated by using frame interpolation between key frames. The channel code such as Turbo code or LDPC code which shows a performance close to the Shannon's limit is employed. The noise model of Wyner-Ziv coding for channel decoding is called Virtual Channel Noise and is generally modeled by Laplacian or Gaussian distribution. In this paper, we propose a Wyner-Ziv coding method based on the frequency-adaptive channel noise modeling in transform domain. The experimental results with various sequences prove that the proposed method makes the channel noise model more accurate compared to the conventional scheme, resulting in improvement of the rate-distortion performance by up to 0.52dB.

Intra mode decision is a useful coding tool in Distributed Video Coding (DVC) for improving DVC coding efficiency for video sequences having fast motion. A major limitation associated with the existing intra mode decision methods, however, is that its efficiency highly depends on user-specified thresholds or modeling parameters. This paper proposes an entropy-based method to address this problem. The probabilities of intra and Wyner?Ziv (WZ) modes are determined firstly by examining correlation of pixels in spatial and temporal directions. Based on these probabilities, entropy of the intra and the WZ modes are computed. A comparison based on the entropy values decides a coding mode between intra coding and WZ coding without relying on any user-specified thresholds or modeling parameters. Experimental results show its superior rate-distortion performance of improvements of PSNR up to 2 dB against a conventional Wyner?Ziv coding without intra mode decision. Furthermore, since the proposed method does not require any thresholds or modeling parameters from users, it is very attractive for real life applications.
