Pixel classification is one of basic image processing issues. The general characteristics of the pixels belonging to various classes are discussed and the radical principles of pixel classification are given. At the same time. a pixel classification scheme based on image direction measure is proposed. As a typical application instance of pixel classification, an adaptive multi-level median filter is presented. An image can be classified into two types of areas by using the direction information measure, that is. smooth area and edge area. Single direction multi-level median filter is used in smooth area. and multi-direction multi-level median filter is taken in the other type of area. What's more. an adaptive mechanism is proposed to adjust the type of the filters and the size of filter window. As a result. we get a better trade-off between preserving details and noise filtering.

The driving properties of a particle-insertion method that filters non-moving particles are analyzed, by measuring its optical and electrical properties. An area that is occupied by the moved particles is proposed, as a desirable evaluation method for a reflective display. To compare the driving property of the particle-moving method with that of the reported simple particle-loading method, two panels are fabricated, according to the different particle-insertion methods, in the same panel condition, of which the width of ribs is $30{\mu}m$, the cell size is $220{\mu}m{\times}220{\mu}m$, the cell gap is $116-120{\mu}m$, the q/m value of the black particles is $+1.8{\mu}C/g$ and that for the white particles is $-4.3{\mu}C/g$. The particle-moving method has a filtering effect which excludes the non-moving particles, inserting only movable particles into the respective cell, so that a panel fabricated by the particle-moving method can drive most of the particles in a cell. Also, most of the particles move at the threshold voltage of 40 V, with enhanced reflectivity. The driving property is also verified by measurement of the occupation rate of the moved particles.

GPS is widely used for outdoor positioning in many applications. But it is not suitable for positioning in an obstacle environment such as urban area, tunnels and so on, due to variable signal level. So new technology of the positioning is required to provide the consistent error level regardless of any changes in any environment. Abrupt changes of GPS signal can be detected by various fault detection and isolation methods. Conventional FDI (Fault Detection and Isolation) methods are categorized into two approaches. One approach is the snapshot method that uses measurements only at present step. The other approach is the filtering method that uses measurements stacked from previous step to present step. The FDI result of the snapshot method can be considered reliable independently with previous results and the FDI result of the filtering method is more reliable and detection time is a little longer. Therefore combining approach of two methods is proposed for increasing FDI performance in this paper. Three approaches that are the snapshot method, the filtering method and the combining method are compared to show the probability of correct FDI in simulations. The combining approach presents best result of FDI among them and shows the consistent accuracy irrespective of any changes in outdoor environment.

The multiple targets tracking problem has been one of the main issues in the radar applications area in the last decade. Besides the standard Kalman filtering, various methods including the variable dimen-sion filter, input estimation filter, interacting multiple model(IMM) filter, dederated variable dimension filter with input estimation, etc., have proposed to address the tracking and sensor fusion issues. In this pa- per, two existing tracking algorithm, i.e, the IMM filter and the variable dimension filter with input estima-tion(VDIE), are combined for the purpose of improving the tracking performance for maneuvering targets. To evaluate the tracking performance of the proposed algorithm, three typical maneuvering patterns, i.e., waver, pop-up, and high-diver motions, are defined and are applied to the modified IMM filter as well as the standard IMM filter. The smaller RMS tracking errors, in position and velocity, of the modified IMM filter than the standard IMM filter are demonstrated though computer simulations.

고해상도위성 영상은 항공사진에 비해서 다중분광특성 뿐만 아니라 광역성에서 많은 장점을 가지고 있다. 그래서 고해상도 인공위성영상은 수치지도를 제작할 때 GIS자료 구축하는데 유용하게 사용될 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 IKONOS 위성 영상에서 자동 검출된 도로정보가 ITS시스템 구축을 위한 자료로 사용되거나 변화가 빈번한 도시지역의 수치 지도 갱신 및 위성 영상지도 제작에 활용될 수 있는 가능성을 분석하였다. 본 연구에서는 저주파 필터링 후 Sobel 연산자가 도로 경계 검출을 위해 적용되었다. 연구결과 고해상도 위성 영상 자료 특성에 따라 도로를 비롯한 구조물 경계를 검출하고자 할 때 저주파 필터링과 고주파 필터링은 ITS구축을 위한 기초자료로 활용이 가능할 것으로 보인다.

육상의 수체를 탐지하는 것은 홍수, 태풍, 지진해일과 같은 재해 모니터링에 있어 핵심적인 사항이며, 습지, 빙하 등 지표 수자원의 시 공간적 변화를 파악하는데 중요한 역할을 한다. 본 연구에서는 Kompsat-5 SAR 영상으로부터 육상의 수체를 탐지하기 위하여 임계값에 기반한 접근방법의 적용성을 분석하고, 다양한 임계값 설정 기법의 탐지 성능을 평가하였다. 또한 SAR 영상의 스펙클 필터링이 임계값 설정에 미치는 영향을 분석하였으며, 영상에서 수체가 차지하는 비율에 따른 탐지 성능의 변화에 대한 정량적인 평가를 수행하였다. 추가적으로 탐지 성능을 향상시키기 위해 히스토그램의 bimodality 검정과 majority filtering 처리를 활용하는 새로운 알고리즘을 제안하였다. 세종시 지역의 사례의 경우 제안된 알고리즘을 통해 최종적으로 약 96%의 탐지율과 0.3%의 오탐지율로 수체를 탐지할 수 있음을 보였다.

We elucidated factors such as membrane pore size, activity of the activated sludge and MLSS. affecting filtering characteristics or filtering resistance in an activated sludge bio-process using tubular type membranes. We used a commercial membrane module with $0.5m^2$ of effective membrane area and a bundle of 7 tubes(13mm of ID and 2m long) in the experiments. As a result, the flux was maintained in the range of $35{\sim}105l/m^2$ hr at 5,000~20,000mg/l of MLSS concentration, and there seemed to be a correlation between the flux and the MLSS. Also the greater the pores were, the higher the flux was in some comparison experiments using UF and MF membranes, but the water permeated through both of the membranes showed almost the same quality. However, the MF membrane showed a great reduction in filtering resistance initially, but went back to a stable stage afterwards. The activity of the activated sludge in the aeration tank was also found to be considered as a factor showing permeation characteristics of the membrane.

UAV (Unmanned Aerial Vehicle) images can be exploited for rapid forest fire damage assessment by virtue of UAV systems' advantages. In 2019, catastrophic forest fire occurred in Goseong and Sokcho, Korea and burned 1,757 hectares of forests. We visited the town in Goseong where suffered the most severe damage and conducted UAV flights for forest fire damage assessment. In this study, economic and rapid damage assessment method for forest fire has been proposed using UAV systems equipped with only a RGB sensor. First, forest masking was performed using automatic elevation thresholding to extract forest area. Then ExG (Excess Green) vegetation index which can be calculated without near-infrared band was adopted to extract damaged forests. In addition, entropy filtering was applied to ExG for better differentiation between damaged and non-damaged forest. We could confirm that the proposed forest masking can screen out non-forest land covers such as bare soil, agriculture lands, and artificial objects. In addition, entropy filtering enhanced the ExG homogeneity difference between damaged and non-damaged forests. The automatically detected damaged forests of the proposed method showed high accuracy of 87%.

본 연구에서는 실제 야외 환경에서 얻어지는 영상열에서 차영상 기법을 이용하여 침입자를 감지하는 보안 시스템에서 필요한 참고영상 갱신 방안을 제안한다. 제안된 방법은 선별적 참고영상 갱신방법의 영역판별 오류에 의한 영향을 미디언 필터링(Median Filtering)을 이용하여 최소화하였다. 먼저, 연속적으로 들어오는 입력영상과 참고영상의 차영상을 얻어 상향조정된 임계치를 이용하여 이동물체 영역이 제거된 선별적인 임시영상을 생성한다. 그리고 조명의 변화나 이동물체의 외곽에 반응하는 배경물체의 오류를 제거하기 위해 미디언 필터링을 수행함으로써 불규칙적으로 발생하는 밝기변화에 적응할 수 있게 한다. 제안된 방법을 실제 야외 상황에서 얻은 다양한 영상열에 적용한 결과 기존의 참고영상 갱신방법보다 주위 잡음과 무관한 참고영상을 생성한 수 있었다.
