To modify product design easily, modern CAD systems adopt the feature-based model as their primary representation. On the other hand, the boundary representation (B-rep) model is used as their secondary representation. IGES and STEP AP203 edition 1 are the representative standard formats for the exchange of CAD files. Unfortunately, both of them only support the B-rep model. As a result, feature data are lost during the CAD file exchange based on these standards. Loss of feature data causes the difficulty of CAD model modification and prevents the transfer of design intent. To resolve this problem, a tool for recognizing design features from a B-rep model and then reconstructing a feature-based model with the recognized features should be developed. As the first part of this research, this paper presents a method for decomposing a B-rep model into simple volumes suitable for design feature recognition. The results of experiments with a prototype system are analyzed. From the analysis, future research issues are suggested.

This paper describes a new practical simplification method for feature-based solid models. In this approach, a solid model created using feature modeling operations is first simplified by the suppression of detailed features, and then, if necessary, the model is converted to a surface model to facilitate its modification. Finally, the simplified surface model is delivered to analysis packages. The algorithm was implemented based on CATIA V.5 and applied to mid-surface generation of plastic parts for structural analysis to prove the validity and usefulness.

The exchange of parameterized feature-based CAD models is important for product data sharing among different organizations and automation systems. The role of feature-based modeling is to gonerate the shape of product and capture design intends In a CAD system. A feature is generated by referring to topological entities in a solid. Identifying referenced topological entities of a feature is essential for exchanging feature-based CAD models through a neutral format. If the CAD data contains the modification history in addition to the construction history, a matching mechanism is also required to find the same entity in the new model (post-edit model) corresponding to the entity in the old model (preedit model). This problem is known as the persistent naming problem. There are additional problems arising from the exchange of parameterized feature-based CAD models. Authors have analyzed previous studies with regard to persistent naming and characteristics for the exchange of parameterized feature-based CAD models, and propose a solution to the persistent naming problem. This solution is comprised of two parts: (a) naming of topological entities based on the object spore information (OSI) and secondary name (SN); and (b) name matching under the proposed naming.

In this paper, we represent a system of identification and feature search for scanned comics in consideration of their content characteristics. For creating the feature of the scanned comics, we utilize a method of hierarchical symmetry fingerprinting. Proposed identification and search system is designed to give online service provider, such as Webhard, an immediate identification result under conditions of huge volume of the scanned comics. In simulation part, we analyze the robustness of the identification of the fingerprint to image modification such as rotation and translation. Also, we represent a structure of database for fast matching in feature point database, and compare search performance between other existing searching methods such as full-search and most significant feature search.

Generally, algorithms for generating disparity maps can be clssified into two categories: region-based method and feature-based method. The main focus of this research is to generate a disparity map with an accuracy depth information for 3-dimensional reconstructing. Basically, the region-based method and the feature-based method are simultaneously included in the proposed algorithm, so that the existing problems including false matching and occlusion can be effectively solved. As a region-based method, regions of false matching are extracted by the proposed MMAD(Modified Mean of Absolute Differences) algorithm which is a modification of the existing MAD(Mean of Absolute Differences) algorithm. As a feature-based method, the proposed method eliminates false matching errors by calculating the vector with SIFT and compensates the occluded regions by using a pair of adjacent SIFT matching points, so that the errors are reduced and the disparity map becomes more accurate.

Feature selection or variable selection is a data mining scheme for selecting highly relevant features with target concept from high dimensional data. It decreases dimensionality of data, and makes it easy to analyze clusters or classification. A feature selection scheme requires an evaluation function. Most of current evaluation functions are based on statistics or information theory, and they can evaluate only for single feature (one-dimensional data). However, features have interactions between them, and require evaluation function for multi-dimensional data for efficient feature selection. In this study, we propose modification of FSDD evaluation function for utilizing evaluation of multiple features using extended distance function. Original FSDD is just possible for single feature evaluation. Proposed approach may be expected to be applied on other single feature evaluation method.

This paper presents the hardware implementation of the pyramidal KLT(Kanade-Lucas-Tomasi) feature tracker. Because of its high computational complexity, it is not easy to implement a real-time KLT feature tracker using general-purpose processors. A hardware implementation of the pyramidal KLT feature tracker using FPGA(Field Programmable Gate Array) is described in this paper with emphasis on 1) adaptive adjustment of threshold in feature extraction under diverse lighting conditions, and 2) modification of the tracking algorithm to accomodate parallel processing and to overcome memory constraints such as capacity and bandwidth limitation. The effectiveness of the implementation was evaluated over ones produced by its software implementation. The throughput of the FPGA-based tracker was 30 frames/sec for video images with size of $720{\times}480$.

This study introduces a general reliability-based, performance-based design framework to design frames regarding their uncertainties and user-defined design goals. The Iterative-R method extracted from the main framework can designate a proper R (i.e., response modification factor) satisfying the design goal regarding target reliability index and pre-defined probability of collapse. The proposed methodology is based on FEMA P-695 and can be used for all systems that FEMA P-695 applies. To exemplify the method, multiple three-dimensional, four-story steel special moment-resisting frames are considered. Closed-form relationships are fitted between frames' responses and the modeling parameters. Those fits are used to construct limit state functions to apply reliability analysis methods for design safety assessment and the selection of proper R. The frameworks' unique feature is to consider arbitrarily defined probability density functions of frames' modeling parameters with an insignificant analysis burden. This characteristic enables the alteration in those parameters' distributions to meet the design goal. Furthermore, with sensitivity analysis, the most impactful parameters are identifiable for possible improvements to meet the design goal. In the studied examples, it is revealed that a proper R for frames with different levels of uncertainties could be significantly different from suggested values in design codes, alarming the importance of considering the stochastic behavior of elements' nonlinear behavior.
