A new efficient contour following algorithm for connected-component labeling processing is proposed. The basic idea of the algorithm is that the total number of downward chain codes is the same as one of upward chain codes along the closed contour. If the chain code direction is upward, then region start mark is assigned at the chain code departure pixel and if the chain code is downward, then region end mark is assigned at the chain code arrival pixel. The proposed algorithm extracts directly the contour information from only the current direction information of chain. This makes the algorithm simple and fast and requires less memory with comparison to the conventional algorithms.The proposed contour following algorithm can be applied to the various kind of image processing such as region filling, restoration and region feature extraction.

Protection and control systems play a prominent part in avoiding power delivery interruptions and help to get a fast and secure restoration when a failure occurs. In order to meet the higher functional requirements on modern power system, protection speed, selectivity, sensitivity, dependability, and security are essential to ensure reliability. These functions on be satisfied by taking advantage of microprocessor and communication technologies, and digital protection relays (systems) have been developed and applied to real power system enhancing reliability and saving money. It is necessary to have a tool to analyze the functions and algorithms of digital relays for installing them to power system. The purpose of this study is to develop a digital relay simulation program to estimate digital relay performances during system faults. Components of digital protective relay including analog filter, sampling unit, digital filter, and relay logic are modeled in this program.

Stack filters are a class of digital nonlinear filters with excellent properties for signal restoration. Unfortunately, present algorithms for designing stack filters with large window size are limited in applications by their computational overhead and serial nature. In this paper, new, highly-parallel algorithm is developed for determining a stack filter which minimizes the mean absolute error criterion. It retains the iterative nature of the present adaptive algorithm, but significantly reduces the number of required to converge to an optima filter. A proof is also give that the proposed algorithm converges to an optimal stack filter.

In today's competitive power market, electric power utilities have strived to provide energy at an acceptable level of quality due to increased expectations from customers. For this reason, electric power utilities have invested in electric equipment and new techniques. That is the Distribution Automation System (DAS). A merit of DAS is the ability to reduce outage time because of fast service restoration. However, DAS is usually installed in outdoor environments. Therefore, their efficiency is affected by the external conditions. Lightning creates varying degrees of physical stress on DAS. This paper focuses on the reliability of DAS for lightning. Four application studies were performed to compare the reliability indices.

This paper presents a fault location algorithm using current distribution factors for distribution feeder systems. When a fault occurs in distribution system, an accurate fault distance is important for fast fault restoration. The proposed algorithm achieves a high accuracy using negative sequence circuit with various fault conditions.

In this paper, we propose a method of restoring blurred images by an edge-sensitive adaptive filter. The direction of the edge is estimated using the properties of 2-D block FFT. Reduction of blurring due to the added noise during image transfer and the focus of lens caused by shooting a fast moving object is very important. To remove this phenomenon effectively, we can use the edge information obtained by processing the blurred images. The proposed algorithm estimates both the existence and the direction of the edge. On the basis of the acquired edge direction information, we choose the appropriate edge-sensitive adaptive filter, which enables us to get better images than images obtained by methods not considering the direction of the edge. The performance of the proposed algorithm is shown in the simulation result.

We present a vaguelette-curvelet decomposition based image deblurring algorithm. We first perform denoising based on the hard-thresholding rule by estimating unknown curvelet coefficients. The proposed algorithm then calculates vaguelette functions by deconvolving the curvelet bases by the point spread function. Vaguelette transform is finally performed to make a clearly restored image. Since the proposed algorithm uses the curvelet transform to sensitively express the edges in all directions, it is possible to restore images with more naturally preserved edges in all directions.

The objective of this paper is to present a digital method for improving the lateral resolution of the B-scan images in the medical applications of ultrasound. The method is based upon a mathematical model of the lateral blurring caused by the finite beam width of the transducers. This model provides a simple method of applying a recursive scheme for image restoration with fast computation time. The point spread function (P.S.F.) can be measured by the reflective signals after scanning the small pins located along the depth of interest. From the measured P.S.F., one can compute the coefficient matrices of the inverse discrete-time dynamic state variable equation of the blurring process. Then, a recursive scheme for deblurring is applied to the recorded B-scan to improve the lateral resolution. One major advantage of the present recursive scheme over the transform method is in its applicability for the space-variant imaging, such as in the case of the rotational movement of transducer.

For last century, our country fast changed by development of industry but we justly looked away that cultural and natural environment that must preserve inside the change, and we sought quantitative growth. But consciousness about culture is rising now; thereby social request becomes strong that is improved cultural environment; and viewpoint is appearing which is thought heftily cultural environment of city. Important thing of them is the modern age architecture, but serious discord is happening in the current society that allows conservation and destruction of the modern age architecture. But, visible cultural asset such as the modern age architecture is value when it protected as the first time, When it was broken! , restoration or age architecture really necessary to us.
