The DISCOVER Project (${\underline{D}}istributed$ ${\underline{I}}nformation$ ${\underline{S}}ervices$ for ${\underline{C}}limate$ and ${\underline{O}}cean$ products and ${\underline{V}}isualizations$ for ${\underline{E}}arth$ ${\underline{R}}esearch$) is a NASA funded Earth Science REASoN project that strives to provide highly accurate, carefully calibrated, long-term climate data records and near-real-time ocean products suitable for the most demanding Earth research applications via easy-to-use display and data access tools. A key element of DISCOVER is the merging of data from the multiple sensors on multiple platforms into geophysical data sets consistent in both time and space. The project is a follow-on to the SSM/I Pathfinder and Passive Microwave ESIP projects which pioneered the simultaneous retrieval of sea surface temperature, surface wind speed, columnar water vapor, cloud liquid water content, and rain rate from SSM/I and TMI observations. The ocean products available through DISCOVER are derived from multi-sensor observations combined into daily products and a consistent multi-decadal climate time series. The DISCOVER team has a strong track record in identifying and removing unexpected sources of systematic error in radiometric measurements, including misspecification of SSM/I pointing geometry, the slightly emissive TMI antenna, and problems with the hot calibration source on AMSR-E. This in-depth experience with inter-calibration is absolutely essential for achieving our objective of merging multi-sensor observations into consistent data sets. Extreme care in satellite inter-calibration and commonality of geophysical algorithms is applied to all sensors. This presentation will introduce the DISCOVER products currently available from the web site, http://www.discover-earth.org and provide examples of the scientific application of both the diurnally corrected optimally interpolated global sea surface temperature product and the 4x-daily global microwave water vapor product.

이동 물체의 검출은 비디오 감시, 보행자의 행동 분석과 같은 컴퓨터 시각 분야에서 매우 중요한 전처리 작업이다. 이는 실제 외부 환경을 대상으로 할 때, 영상 시퀀스에 존재하는 배경의 불규칙한 움직임, 조명 변화, 그림자, 배경 물체의 위상 변화 및 잡음 등으로 인하여 매우 어려운 작업이다. 본 논문에서는 코드북 기반의 전경 검출 알고리즘을 제안한다. 코드북은 입력 영상으로부터 얻어지는 배경화소에 대한 정보 데이터베이스이다. 먼저, 첫 번째 프레임을 배경 영상으로 가정하고 이를 입력 영상과 비교하여 차 영상을 구한다. 구해진 차 영상에는 순수한 이동 물체뿐만 아니라, 잡음까지 포함된다. 둘째로, 전경으로 검출된 화소의 색상과 밝기 값을 가지고 코드북을 조사하여 존재하는 경우 잘못 추출된 전경 화소로 판단하고 전경에서 제거한다. 마지막으로, 다음번 입력되는 프레임을 반복 처리하기 위하여 배경 영상을 새롭게 갱신하는데, 배경 화소로 검출된 화소의 경우에는 현재의 입력 영상으로부터 추정되며, 전경 화소로 검출된 경우에는 이전 배경 영상의 화소 값을 복사하여 사용한다. 제안한 알고리즘을 PETS2009 데이터에 적용한 결과를 GMM 알고리즘과 표준 코드북 알고리즘의 결과와 비교하여 보인다.

본 논문은 CNN (Convolutional Neural Network)와 2D Lidar 센서에서 획득한 위치 데이터를 이용하여 이미지를 분류하는 방법을 제시한다. Lidar 센서는 데이터 정확도, 형상 왜곡 및 광 변화에 대한 강인성 측면에서의 이점으로 인해 무인 장치에 널리 사용되어 왔다. CNN 알고리즘은 하나 이상의 컨볼루션 및 풀링 레이어로 구성되며 이미지 분류에 만족스러운 성능을 보여 왔다. 본 논문에서는 학습 방법에 따라 다른 유형의 CNN 아키텍처들인 Gradient Descent (GD) 및 Levenberg-arquardt (LM)를 구현하였다. LM 방법에는 학습 파라메터를 업데이트하는 요소 중 하나인 Hessian 행렬 근사 빈도에 따라 두 가지 유형이 있다. LM 알고리즘의 시뮬레이션 결과는 GD 알고리즘보다 이미지 데이터의 분류 성능이 우수하였다. 또한 Hessian 행렬 근사가 더 빈번한 LM 알고리즘은 다른 유형의 LM 알고리즘보다 작은 오류를 보여주었다.

본 논문에서는 송신 레이다와 수신 레이다가 분리된 바이스태틱(bistatic) 환경에서 합성 개구면 레이다(synthetic aperture radar: SAR) 영상을 형성하는 기법에 관하여 서술한다. 바이스태틱 SAR는 모노스태틱(monostatic) SAR에 비해 다양한 SAR 영상 획득 시나리오를 형성할 수 있기 때문에 기존의 모노스태틱 SAR의 한계를 극복할 수 있다. 그러나 현재까지 국내에서 바이스태틱 SAR 영상 형성과 관련된 연구가 매우 미진한 상황이다. 이에 따라 본 논문에서는 바이스태틱 기하구조에서의 레이다 수신 신호를 모델링하고, 이를 모노스태틱 등가 모델(equivalent model)을 활용하여 바이스태틱 SAR 영상을 형성하는 방법에 관하여 서술한다. 본 논문에서는 바이스태틱 기하구조에서의 모의시험을 통해 본 논문에서 서술된 바이스태틱 SAR 영상 형성 기법의 효용성을 검증한다.

It has been noted that Monte Carlo simulations are the most accurate method to calculate dose distributions in any material and geometry. Monte Carlo transport algorithms determine the absorbed dose by following the path of representative particles as they travel through the medium. Accurate Monte Carlo dose calculations rely on detailed modeling of the radiation source. We modeled the effects of beam modifiers such as collimators, blocks, wedges, etc. of our accelerator, Varian Clinac 600C/D to ensure accurate representation of the radiation source using the EGSnrc based BEAM code. These were used in the EGSnrc based DOSXYZ code for the simulation of particles transport through a voxel based Cartesian coordinate system. Because Monte Carlo methods use particle-by-particle methods to simulate a radiation transport, more particle histories yield the better representation of the actual dose. But the prohibitively long time required to get high resolution and accuracy calculations has prevented the use of Monte Carlo methods in the actual clinical spots. Our ultimate aim is to develop a Monte Carlo dose calculation system designed specifically for radiation therapy planning, which is distinguished from current dose calculation methods. The purpose of this study in the present phase was to get dose calculation results corresponding to measurements within practical time limit. We used parallel processing and some variance reduction techniques, therefore reduced the computational time, preserving a good agreement between calculations of depth dose distributions and measurements within 5% deviations.

북한은 2002년 경제관리 제도에 대한 개혁을 단행하면서 교육과정에서도 대대적인 개편을 시도한 것으로 보인다. 특히 IT 분야를 강화하면서 수학 교과에 대하여 약 30% 정도의 내용 감축을 시도한 것으로 보이며, 그 과정에서 종전의 수학 교과서가 기하와 대수로 구분되어 있었던 것을 한 권으로 통합하였다. 그 결과 일부 어려운 내용은 삭제하고, 학년간에 중복된 내용은 약화시킨 것으로 나타났다. 또한 분수 지도와 관련하여 새로운 전개 방법으로서 넓이 모텔을 사용하고 있다는 점을 발견하였다. 특히 본 연구에서 분수에 대한 내용 변화를 분석한 결과 교육 내용의 적정화를 시도하고 있는 남한의 수학 교육에 시사하는 바는 다음과 같다. 첫째, 넓이 모델을 사용하여 비교적 단시간에 분수의 사칙계산을 다루고 있는데 이러한 방법은 학습 분량의 경감 차원에서 본다면 중요한 참고자료가 될 수 있을 것이다. 둘째, 사고를 절약시켜준다고 하는 측면에서 나눗셈 알고리즘을 제시하는 방법에 대하여 고려해 볼 가치가 있다.

PURPOSES : Although signalized intersections have been considered the best way to control traffic volume in urban areas for several decades, roundabouts are currently being discussed as an alternative way to control traffic volume, especially when traffic is light. Because a roundabout's efficiency depends on the load geometry as well as the traffic volume, design guidelines for roundabouts are recommended only if the incoming traffic volume is very low. It is rare to substitute a roundabout for an existing signalized intersection in urban areas. This study aims to estimate the benefits from the transformation of an existing signalized intersection into a roundabout in an urban area. When there is a more moderate volume of traffic, roundabouts can be effectively used by optimizing signals located at an approaching roadway. METHODS : The methodologies of this paper are as follows: First, a signalized intersection was analyzed to determine the traffic characteristics. Second, the signalized intersection was transformed into a roundabout using VISSIM microscopic traffic simulation. Then, we estimated and analyzed the effects and the performance of the roundabout. In addition, we adjusted a method to improve the benefits of the transformation via the optimization of signals located at an approaching road to control the incoming traffic volume. RESULTS : The results of this research are as follows: The signal-optimized roundabout improved delays compared with the signalized intersection during the morning peak hour, non-peak hour, and evening peak hour by 1.78%, 12.45%, and 12.72%, respectively. CONCLUSIONS : According to the simulation results of each scenarios, the signal-optimized roundabout had less delay time than the signalized intersection. If optimized signal control algorithms are installed in roundabouts in the future, this will lead to more efficient traffic management.

Inspection and shape measurement of three-dimensional objects are widely needed in industries for quality monitoring and control. A number of visual or optical technologies have been successfully applied to measure three-dimensional surfaces. However, those conventional visual or optical methods have inherent shortcomings such as occlusion and variant surface reflection. X-ray vision system can be a good solution to these conventional problems, since we can extract the volume information including both the surface geometry and the inner structure of any objects. In the x-ray system, the surface condition of an object, whether it is lambertian or specular, does not affect the inherent characteristics of its x-ray images. In this paper, we propose a three-dimensional x-ray imaging method to reconstruct a three dimensional structure of an object out of two dimensional x-ray image sets. To achieve this by the proposed method, two or more x-ray images projected from different views are needed. Once these images are acquired, the simultaneous algebraic reconstruction technique(SART) is usually utilized. Since the existing SART algorithms have several shortcomings such as low performance in convergence and different convergence within the reconstruction volume of interest, an advanced SART algorithm named as USART(uniform SART) is proposed to avoid such shortcomings and improve the reconstruction performance. Because, each voxel within the volume is equally weighted to update instantaneous value of its internal density, it can achieve uniform convergence property of the reconstructed volume. The algorithm is simulated on various shapes of objects such as a pyramid, a hemisphere and a BGA model. Based on simulation results the performance of the proposed method is compared with that of the conventional SART method.

For the economic management of photovoltaic power plants, it is necessary to regularly monitor the panels within the plants to detect malfunctions. Thermal infrared image cameras are generally used for monitoring, since malfunctioning panels emit higher temperatures compared to those that are functioning. Recently, technologies that observe photovoltaic arrays by mounting thermal infrared cameras on UAVs (Unmanned Aerial Vehicle) are being developed for the efficient monitoring of large-scale photovoltaic power plants. However, the technologies developed until now have had the shortcomings of having to analyze the images manually to detect malfunctioning panels, which is time-consuming. In this paper, we propose an automatic photovoltaic panel area extraction algorithm for thermal infrared images acquired via a UAV. In the thermal infrared images, panel boundaries are presented as obvious linear features, and the panels are regularly arranged. Therefore, we exaggerate the linear features with a vertical and horizontal filtering algorithm, and apply a modified hierarchical histogram clustering method to extract candidates of panel boundaries. Among the candidates, initial panel areas are extracted by exclusion editing with the results of the photovoltaic array area detection. In this step, thresholding and image morphological algorithms are applied. Finally, panel areas are refined with the geometry of the surrounding panels. The accuracy of the results is evaluated quantitatively by manually digitized data, and a mean completeness of 95.0%, a mean correctness of 96.9%, and mean quality of 92.1 percent are obtained with the proposed algorithm.

Design optimization is a mathematical process to find an optimal solution through the use of formal optimization algorithms. Design plays a vital role in the engineering field; therefore, using design tools in education and research is becoming more and more important. Recently, numerical design optimization in fluid mechanics, which uses computational fluid dynamics (CFD), has numerous applications in the engineering field, because of the rapid development of high-performance computing resources. However, it is difficult to find design optimization software and contents for educational purposes in aerospace engineering. In the present study, we have developed an aerodynamic design framework specifically for an airfoil, based on the EDucation-research Integration through Simulation On the Net (EDISON) portal. The airfoil design framework is composed of three subparts: a geometry kernel, CFD flow analysis, and an optimization algorithm. Through a seamless interface among the subparts, an iterative design process is conducted. In addition, the CFD flow analysis and the design framework are provided through a web-based portal system, while the computation is taken care of by a supercomputing facility. In addition to the software development, educational contents are developed for lectures associated with design optimization in aerospace and mechanical engineering education programs. The software and content developed in this study is expected to be used as a tool for e-learning material, for education and research in universities.
