This paper presents perceptual model with a stochastic rnultiresolution characteristic that can be applied with watermark embedding in the biorthogonal wavelet domain. The perceptual model with adaptive watermarking algorithm embed at the texture and edge region for more strongly embedded watermark by the SSQ(successive subband quantization). The watermark embedding is based on the computation of a NVF(noise visibility function) that have local image properties. This method uses non-stationary Gaussian model stationary Generalized Gaussian model because watermark has noise properties. In order to determine the optimal NVF, we consider the watermark as noise. The particularities of embedding in the stationary GG model use shape parameter and variance of each subband regions in multiresolution. To estimate the shape parameter, we use a moment matching method. Non-stationary Gaussian model use the local mean and variance of each subband. The experiment results of simulation were found to be excellent invisibility and robustness. Experiments of such distortion are executed by Stirmark benchmark test.

This study presents the angular effects of virtual vertices inserted for effective treatment of the boundary edge laid on an infinite conducting surface in a half-space scattering problem. We investigated the angular effects of virtual vertices by first computing the radar cross section (RCS) of a specific scatterer; i.e., a tilted conducting plate in contact with the ground surface, by inserting the virtual vertex in half-space. Here, the electric field integral equation is used to solve this problem with various virtual vertex angles (${\theta}_{\nu}$) and conducting plate inclination angles (${\theta}_r$) ranging from $0^{\circ}$ to $180^{\circ}$. The effects of the angles ${\theta}_{\nu}$ and ${\theta}_r$ on the RCS computation are clearly shown with numerical results with and without the virtual vertices in free- and half-spaces.

Position of a circular or elliptical cutout within an orthotropic plate has great influence on its buckling behavior. This paper aims at finding the optimal position (both location and orientation) of a single circular/elliptical cutout, within an orthotropic rectangular plate, that maximizes the critical buckling load. We consider linear buckling of simply supported orthotropic plates under uniaxial edge loads. To obtain the optimal positions of the cutouts, we have employed a MATLAB optimization routine coupled with buckling computation in ANSYS. Our results show that the position of the cutout that maximizes the buckling load has great dependence on the material properties, laminate configurations, and the geometrical parameters of the plate. These optimal results, for a number of plate geometries and cutout sizes, are reported in this paper. These results will be useful in the design of perforated orthotropic plates against buckling failure.

In this paper, a real-time eye tracking method using fast face detection is proposed. Most of the current eye tracking systems have operational limitations due to sensors, complicated backgrounds, and uneven lighting condition. It also suffers from slow response time which is not proper for a real-time application. The tracking performance is low under complicated background and uneven lighting condition. The proposed algorithm detects face region from acquired image using elliptic Hough transform followed by eye detection within the detected face region using Haar-like features. In order to reduce the computation time in tracking eyes, the algorithm predicts next frame search region from the information obtained in the current frame. Experiments through simulation show good performance of the proposed method under various environments.

Various type of welded joints of the ship structure have been examined numerically and experimentally under bending and tensional cyclic constant-amplitude loading. Cyclic loading on structures can produce failures not readily predicted by conventional static analysis. The aim of a benchmark study is achieved with a generalization of the reference stress concept. Also different methods and procedures exist for the computation of the welded structure hot-spot stress a welded joints. These are either based on the extrapolation of stresses at certain reference points on the plate surface (or edge) close to the weld toe-as known from experimental investigations- or on the linearization of stresses in the through-thickness direction. In the present paper, the different methods are reviewed and applied to four different details in order to compare the methods with each other and to illustrate the differences.

In this paper, we propose an adaptive digital image watermarking algorithm using successive subband quantization (SSQ) and perceptual model based on wavelet domain. The watermark is embedded into the perceptually significant coefficients (PSCs) of image. The PSCs in the baseband are selected according to the amplitude of the coefficients and the high frequency subbands are selected by SSQ. To embed the watermark, we use perceptual model. The perceptual model is based on the computation of the noise visibility function (NVF) and embed at the texture and edge region stronger embedded watermarks.

A three-dimensional inviscid flow solver has been developed based on unstructured meshes for the simulation of steady and unsteady flowfields around a generic fighter aircraft and for the investigation of the aerodynamic interference between the external stores and the tail surfaces. The flow solver is based on a vertex-centered finite-volume method and an implicit point Gauss-Seidel relaxation scheme. To validate the flow solver, calculations were made for a steady flow and the computed results were compared with experimental data. An unsteady time-accurate computation of the generic fighter aircraft with external stores at transonic flight conditions showed that the external stores cause undesirable vibration on the horizontal tail surface due to the mutual interference between their wake and the horizontal tail surface. It was shown that downward deflection of the trailing edge flap significantly reduces the undesirable interference effect.

Preliminary design of a ground plate, a device installed close to the aircraft model for wind tunnel test to simulate the ground effect, was performed by a numerical simulation. A two-dimensional numerical study was performed initially to decide the optimal leading edge and flap configurations. Then, three-dimensional studies were conducted to decide the optimal flap deflection angle for pressure distribution reduction since the plate and the plate supporting system generate static pressure difference between the upper and lower flow regions. Three-dimensional simulation additionally studied the effect of the clearance between the plate and the wind tunnel side wall. For the efficiency of computation, half model was simulated and a symmetric boundary condition was applied on the center plane. Based on the preliminary design, a ground plate was designed, manufactured and tested at the Korea Aerospace Research Institute(KARI) wind tunnel. The measured pressure differences versus flap deflection angle agreed well with the predicted results.

An experimental model and a conceptual model are investigated in this paper with both shock tube experiment and numerical technique. The shock-vortex interaction generated by this model is visualized with various methods: holographic interferometry, shodowgraphy, and numerical computation. In terms of shock dynamics, there are two meaningful physics in the present problem. They are reflective wave from the slip layer at the vortex edge and transmitted shock penetrating the vortex core. The discussion in this study is mainly focused on the two kinds of waves contributing to the quadrupolar pressure distribution around the vortex center during the interaction.

In this paper, we propose a parallelization technique in lane detection by using Hough transform. Hough transform has a weakness that it has a lot computation quantity, because it has to compute ${\rho}$ value in all candidate ${\Theta}$ to be detected in an image. We propose an architecture of parallel processing for this transform in a multi-core environment. The parallel processing has application to Hough transform as well as noise reduction and edge detection. This proposed architecture has 5.17 times improvement in performance compare to the existing algorithm.
