Sophisticated geometric structure analysis must be preceded to create electronic document from logical components extracted from document image. this paper presents a knowledge-based method for sophisticated geometric structure analysis of technical journal pages. The proposed knowledge base encodes geometric characteristics that are not only common in technical journals but also publication-specific in the form rules. The method takes the hybrid of top-down and bottom-up techniques and consists of two phases: region segmentation and identification. Generally, the result of segmentation process does not have a one-to-one matching with composite layout components. Therefore, the proposed method identifies non-text objects such as image, drawing and table, as well as text objects such as text line and equation by splitting or grouping segmented regions into composite layout components. Experimental results with 372 images scanned from the IEEE Transactions on Pattern Analysis and Machine Intelligence show that the proposed method has performed geometrical structure analysis successfully on more than 99% of the test images, resulting in sophisticated performance compared with previous works.

In order to survive worldwide competition, today's industries are experiencing strong pressure to introduce higher quality products with lower cost and shorter lead-time. Therefore, the role of design in the process of product development is increasing in significance. In this research, two methods for improving the design capability are proposed: construction of design environment and design automation using 3D CAD system. The designers and design process are the core of product design using 3D CAD system. In order to maximize the design performance, construction of the design environment including selection of a suitable system, designer training for best use of the system, establishment of an efficient design process, and stabilization of the environment are required. A method is suggested to construct design environment by systematizing the contents of the projects and consulting experiences carried out for various categories of business such as electronic devices, motorcycles, electricity parts, sanitary wares, injection molds, and die casing molds. Design automation helps reduce tedious and time-consuming jobs, simplify complicated and error-prone modeling and drawing works to shorten the lead time and improve the product quality. To develop a design automation system, understanding the process and the related knowledge on design are very important before implementing the system using API provided by 3D CAD system. In this research, an eight-step procedure is proposed for the development of a design automation system. These eight steps are analysis of needs, determination of specification, verification of specification using 3D CAD system, inspection of related API functions, programming, field test, application in practice, and maintenance. A case study in which five design automation systems in the design of turbine generators using the proposed method is introduced in detail. These systems play important roles in the generation of various output items including 3D models, drafts, material information, and NC data. The case study shows how effectively the design time is reduced and the quality improved using those systems.

As the portion of modern weapons systems equipped with electronic components increases, the presence of embedded software has also increased, subsequently drawing interest in quality management and development methods. Unlike mechanical systems, software is logically intangible, hard to troubleshoot, and hard to reuse, making it hard to utilize limited resources when exposed to failures. The United States had successful results in establishing the Capability Maturity Model (CMM) by studying and applying separate processes for development and quality management of defense software. South Korea has also established, and utilizes, a standard of development and quality management for defense software based on international standards. However, some say those standards still remain at a basic level, and should be modified along with the progress in software. If the standard stays at a basic level, compared to software progression, the cost to reuse and restore resources will increase exponentially. This paper discusses improvement in the test processes for defense software through the Test Maturity Model-integration (TMMi)-derived from the CMM-and presents a blueprint for defense software quality management.

As concerns about users' privacy infringement on Online Behavioral Advertising(OBA) increase, regulators are taking measures such as drawing up guidelines for OBAs, and websites provide OBA guidance in compliance with such guidelines. As a result of reviewing the status of providing OBA guidance on websites, access to OBA guidance pages was rather complicated. In order to analyze the issue from the UI/UX perspective, following the "Guidelines for Privacy in Online Behavioral Advertising" applied to all types of OBA transmitted on websites, this study aims to structuralize a navigation of page movement from two starting points, 1) Main Page, 2) The page where OBA is delivered, to OBA guidance pages. Also, with understanding the problems found in the access and navigation of OBA guidance pages by analyzing features found during the page navigation, such as hyperlinks containing keywords, and movement pages.

Electrochromic devices (ECDs) have been drawing great attention due to their high color contrast, low power consumption, and memory effect, and can be used in smart windows, automatic dimming mirrors, and information display devices. As with other electronic devices such as LEDs (light emitting diodes), solar cells, and transistors, the mechanical flexibility of ECDs is one of the most important issue for their potential applications. In this paper, we report on flexible ECDs (f-ECDs) fabricated using an all-in-one EC gel, which is a mixture of electrolyte and EC material. The f-ECDs are compared with rigid ECDs (r-ECDs) on ITO glass substrate in terms of color contrast, coloration efficiency, and switching speed. It is confirmed that the f-ECDs embedding all-in-one gel show strong blue absorption and have competitive EC performance. Repetitive bending tests show a degradation of electrochromic performance, which must be improved using an optimized device fabrication process.

Self-authentication technology using electrocardiogram (ECG) signals is drawing attention as a self-authentication technology that can replace existing bio-authentication. A device that recognizes a digital electronic key can be mounted on a vehicle to wirelessly exchange data with a car, and a function that can lock or unlock a car door or start a car by using a smartphone can be controlled through a smartphone. However, smart keys are vulnerable to security, so smart keys applied with bio-authentication technology were studied to solve this problem and provide driver convenience. A personal authentication algorithm using electrocardiogram was mounted on a watch-type wearable device to authenticate bio, and when personal authentication was completed, it could function as a smart key of a car. The certification rate was 95 per cent achieved. Drivers do not need to have a smart key, and they propose a smart key as an alternative that can safely protect it from loss and hacking. Smart keys using personal authentication technology using electrocardiogram can be applied to various fields through personal authentication and will study methods that can be applied to identification devices using electrocardiogram in the future.

As most landscape drawings tend to be recorded in electronic format, the need for layer standards is growing. While the categorization system of planting drawings has been progressing, landscape facility drawings are being delayed. So, the purpose of this study was to establish the categorization system of computerized landscape facility drawing documents. In the beginning of this study, it found that the layer categorization system of "The Standards of Construction CALS/EC computerized drawings v1. 1" and "The submit instructions of electronic design documents" are not suitable for the landscape facility drawings. 1,154 drawings drawn by 10 landscape architect offices were used to analyze the current layer categorization status. As a result, it found that "The Standards of Construction CALS/EC computerized drawings v1. 1" were not introduced in landscape facility drawings and 46% of layers were produced indefinitely. The new layer categorization system consisting of 15 facility items was drawn by applying the ISO construction information categorization system. The new layer categorization system is set on the basis of the legal code, landscape design standards, and design guidelines of public institutions. This new layer categorization system is expected to propagate at the landscape architect offices in the early.

This thesis is intended for addressing issues of the local expropriation committee system by drawing the policy suggestion through theoretical considerations on the land expropriation system of the UK and of the US, and for finding a plan to improve the system by focusing on the examples of land expropriation of local governments. The US' Takings utilize a public hearing and the jury system. When property is expropriated through eminent domain, stakeholders and citizens share the necessity of the expropriation and its awareness through a public hearing, and project institutes (administrative organizations) file a lawsuit to a law court to exercise takings. In the case of Compulsory Purchase in the UK, the system should be based on laws established by the Parliament, and the resolution to use CPO is also decided by district councils. So the system is able to prevent power abuse. As a plan to improve the land expropriation committee of local governments, it is necessary ${\triangle}$ to enhance the professionality of the local land expropriation committee, ${\triangle}$ to expropriate lands by the analysis of land type, and ${\triangle}$ to come up with alternative measures to prevent the rights of the expropriated.

One of the most important factors in the work environment of the industrial design is the design process which can systematically synthesize the informations of related fields. Because the computer technology is being radically developed, industrial should not only positively be able to cope with new technologies, but also should positively be able to take part in the development of the integrated system for the process by the new technologies. Recently in the industrial design field, designers are often using the computer~applied-3D modeling techniques in the development process of industrial design products, especially in the visualization level of the design development. In this paper, we studied the workstation modeling process to understand the computer~applied-3D modeling and presented the methods of transfer of the 3D-modeling data of a workstation(SGI) to the AutoCAD data of a personal computer which is generally being used as a drawing tool in mechanism parts. Through the development process of an electronic taxi meter as a practical case study, we check the possibility whether the 3D-modeling data transferred from an industrial design part to a mechanism part can directly be used as the mechanism data. For this, we transferred the 3D-modeling data of an electronic taxi meter created with a workstation(SGI) to the AutoCAD data of a personal computer and checked the usefulness of data transferred from an industrial design part to a mechanism part. Through these processes of data transfer, we aimed to find out the basic principles which can be rationally applied to a mechanism part or a production part.
