Sand filter is a key unit process for particle removal in water purification treatments. Its long-standing use is due to on-site customized retrofit. Proper selection of filter media is one of the retrofit approaches to improve filter performance. This study described a series of controlled laboratory column tests and examined the effects of media property on filtration and backwash. When sand media of 0.51 mm in effective size was replaced by sand of 0.60 mm, the filter run increased up to 5 times in the given bed depth. The change of media property required an increase of backwash rate by 0.05 m/min to satisfy the requirement of bed expansion, more than 20%. When the anthracite was changed with lower effective size and uniformity coefficient, correlation with sand in the filter bed could be satisfied within the permissible error between media and bulk characteristics. Besides, this selection resulted in a well-stratified configuration of media layers after bed expansion. The column study showed that the correlation of property between the dual media had a significant effect on the filter productivity and backwash interval.

A narrow-band dual TE$_{111}$ mode circular waveguide filter for Ku-Band satellite transponder was designed and manufactured based on a new model of the filter. We calculated the cavity size, pin polarizer depth and diameter, iris length and width, and used Bethe's Small Diffraction Theory and Chon's Correction Formular in order to obtain exact Result for each cavity. The designed dual model waveguide filter was manufactured with invar in order to maintain the thermal stability, and the filter performance was improved through the thermal test and vibration test to endure in the cosmic environment.

The objective of this study is to improve the optical sensitivity of laser fluorescence for detection of incipient enamel caries. An incipient carious lesion was formed in various stages by placing an enamel specimen of a bovine tooth in STPP demineralization solution. After measuring the optical density of the lesion surface by laser fluorescence induced by argon laser and various alter of yellow(500-520nm), amber(520-540nm), orange(540-560nm), and red(560-580nm), the specimen was cut vertically to measure the depth of the lesion using a polarizing microscope. SAS statistical program was used to analyze the relationship between the optical density of the lesion suface and the depth of the lesion. The results were as follows: 1. The optical density of early carious lesion, measured by laser fluorescence with amber and orange filter, and lesion depth observed by polarizing microscope, were increased as demineralization time increased. 2. The correlation coefficient between optical density of the lesion surface and the histological depth of the lesion was the highest in orange filter(r=0.49), followed by amber(r=0.32), yellow(r=0.13) and red(0.01). 3. Regression analysis showed that the most linear relationship between the optical density and the lesion depth was existed in orange filter group. In regard above results, laser fluorescence could be considered to be reliable for optical diagnosis of dental caries.

In this paper, we propose the adaptation filtering for correcting the movement path of the recognized object by the depth information. When we recognize the object by the depth information, the path error should be occurred because of the noises in the depth information. The path error is corrected by appling the lowpass filtering, but the lowpass filtering is not efficient when the changes of the object's movement are rapid. In this paper, we apply the adaptation filtering that it gives weights adaptively as the difference between the predicted location and the measured location. To apply the adaptation filtering, we can see that the proposed method can correct accurately the path error of the radical change from simulation results.

Acquisition of reliable depth maps is a critical requirement in many applications such as 3D videos and free-viewpoint TV. Depth information can be obtained from the object directly using physical sensors, such as infrared ray (IR) sensors. Recently, Time-of-Flight (ToF) range camera including KINECT depth camera became popular alternatives for dense depth sensing. Although ToF cameras can capture depth information for object in real time, but are noisy and subject to low resolutions. Recently, filter-based depth up-sampling algorithms such as joint bilateral upsampling (JBU) and noise-aware filter for depth up-sampling (NAFDU) have been proposed to get high quality depth information. However, these methods often lead to texture copying in the upsampled depth map. To overcome this limitation, we formulate a convex optimization problem using higher order regularization for depth map upsampling. We decrease the texture copying problem of the upsampled depth map by using edge weighting term that chosen by the edge information. Experimental results have shown that our scheme produced more reliable depth maps compared with previous methods.

본 논문에서는 MPEG 의 3차원 비디오 시스템의 표준 깊이정보 맵에 대한 효율적인 부호화를 위하여 전처리 방법을 제안한다. 현재 3차원 비디오 부호화(3DVC)에 대한 표준화가 진행 중에 있지만 아직 깊이정보 맵의 부호화 방법에 대한 표준이 확정되지 않은 상태이다. 제안하는 기법에서는 우선, 입력된 깊이정보 맵에 대하여 원래의 히스토그램 분포를 가우시안 혼합모델(GMM)기반의 EM 군집화 기법에 의한 방법으로 분리 후, 분리된 히스토그램을 기반으로 깊이정보 맵을 여러 개의 영상으로 분리한다. 그 후 분리된 각각의 영상을 배경과 객체에 따라 다른 조건의 mean shift filter로 필터링한다. 결과적으로 영상내의 각 영역 경계는 최대한 살리면서 영역내의 화소 값에 대해서는 평균 연산을 취하여 부호화시 효율을 극대화 하고자 하였다. 실험조건은 $1024{\times}768$ 영상에 대해서 50 프레임으로 H.264/AVC base 프로파일로 부호화를 진행하였다. 최종 실험결과 bit rate는 대략 23% ~ 26% 정도 감소하고 부호화 시간도 다소 줄어드는 것을 확인 할 수 있었다.

This paper proposes a method to minimize the error of the Kinect camera sensor by using a random undirected Kalman filter. Kinect cameras, which provide RGB values and depth information, cause nonlinear errors in the sensor, causing problems in various applications such as skeleton detection. Conventional methods have tried to remove errors by using various filtering techniques. However, there is a limit to removing nonlinear noise effectively. Therefore, in this paper, a randomized unscented Kalman filter was applied to predict and update the nonlinear noise characteristics, we next tried to enhance a performance of skeleton detection. The experimental results confirmed that the proposed method is superior to the conventional method in quantitative results and reconstructed images on 3D space.

In this paper we propose a plasmonic color filter with a novel nanopattern. The suggested pattern, called a "polyperiodic hole array" (PPHA), is introduced to solve the angle dependence of the optical response that originates from the periodic structure. We set the diameter and period of the hole to make a green color filter, and set the unit-cell size and metal and dielectric thicknesses in consideration of the propagation length and skin depth. The periodic hole arrays are locally rotated to make a PPHA pattern, resulting in a globally aperiodic yet partially periodic pattern. As a result, compared to a general pattern, the PPHA nanostructured color filter has a maximum 40% improvement in spectral shift when the angle of incidence is increased from 0° to 30°. Transmittance reduction was also alleviated by 30%. This work will improve the performance of nanostructured color filters and help with nanotechnology being applied industrially to imaging devices, including displays and image sensors.

This study examines the optimum filtration conditions in pretreatment of seawater desalination by reverse osmosis. For this purpose, Masan bay seawater is treated through a gravity filter column while $FeCl_3$ is added as coagulant. The conditions of coagulantd osage, media depth, filtration rate, and backwash time are evaluated. The study results show that the filtrate quality improved with increasing coagulant dosage, but head loss rapidly increased. After 4mg/L, the unit filter run volume reduced to less than $200m^3/m^2$. Considering the head loss development, 4mg/L is determined as the optimum dosage. The better filtrate qualities are obtained with depth of 100cm than that of 80cm. The two stage filtration, which outperformed the single stage filtration, is suggested for treatment of Masan bay. The filtration rate of 5m/h is decided as the optimum condition considering the head loss development. At 10m/h, the filtrate quality deteriorated even though the extent was minimal, and head loss increased rapidly. The backwash time of 10 min is decided appropriate.
