바코드 영상을 판독하기 위해서는 이진화 과정이 필수적이다. 기존 이진화 방법에는 글로벌 임계값 이진화 방법과 지역 임계값 이진화 방법이 있다. 글로벌 이진화 방법은 하나의 임계값을 사용한다. 바코드 영상에서 부분적으로 명도가 다를 경우나 blur가 있는 경우가 있다. 따라서 이진화 패턴정보가 유지되지 않는다. 지역 임계값 이진화 방법은 이진화 패턴 정보가 유지되는 반면 글로벌 임계값 이진화보다 처리속도가 느려진다. 이 문제를 해결하기 위한 알고리즘으로는 부분 지역 이진화 알고리즘을 제안 한다. 본 논문에서는 부분 지역 이진화 알고리즘을 하드웨어에 적합하도록 설계하고 Vivado를 통해 합성 하였다.

본 논문에서는 프레임들의 차이값으로부터 카메라 브레이크에 의해 발생하는 큰 변화의 폭을 갖는 경계지점을 추출하는 전역적 결정트리를 이용하여 샷 경계를 검출하는 방법을 제시한다. 먼저 지적 $X^2$ 히스토그램과 정규화를 통하여 프레임 간 차이값을 계산하고, 다음으로 차이값간의 거리를 정규화를 통하여 계산한다. 계산된 차이값간의 거리를 바탕으로 전역적 임계치 거리를 계산하여 인접한 두 프레임들에 대한 거리값과 전역적 임계치 거리를 비교하여 샷 경계를 검출한다. 본 논문에서 제시한 전역적 결정트리를 이용하여 객체나 카메라의 움직임과 플래시 라이트와 같은 갑작스런 장면 변화를 쉽게 검출할 수 있다.

The percolation of interfacial transition zone (ITZ) in cementitious materials is of great importance to the transport properties and durability issues. This paper presents numerical simulation research on the ITZ percolation threshold of mortar specimens at meso-scale. To simulate the meso-scale model of mortar as realistically as possible, the aggregates are simplified as ellipsoids with arbitrary orientations. Major and minor aspect ratios are defined to represent the global shape characteristics of aggregates. Some algorithms such as the burning algorithm, Dijkstra's algorithm and Connected-Component Labeling (CCL) algorithm are adopted for identification of connected ITZ clusters and percolation detection. The effects of gradation and aspect ratios of aggregates on ITZ percolation threshold are quantitatively studied. The results show that (1) the ITZ percolation threshold is mainly affected by the specific surface area (SSA) of aggregates and shows a global decreasing tendency with an increasing SSA; (2) elongated ellipsoidal particles can effectively bridge isolated ITZ clusters and thus lower the ITZ percolation threshold; (3) as ITZ volume fraction increases, the bridging effect of elongated particles will be less significant, and has only a minor effect on ITZ percolation threshold; (4) it is the ITZ connectivity that is essentially responsible for ITZ percolation threshold, while other factors such as SSA and ITZ volume fraction are only the superficial reasons.

The vehicle license plate recognition (VLPR) system analyzes and monitors the speed of vehicles, theft of vehicles, the violation of traffic rules, illegal parking, etc., on the motorway. The VLPR consists of three major parts: license plate detection (LPD), license plate character segmentation (LPCS), and license plate character recognition (LPCR). This paper presents an efficient method for the LPCS and LPCR of Korean vehicle license plates (LPs). LP tilt adjustment is a very important process in LPCS. Radon transformation is used to correct the tilt adjustment of LP. The global threshold segmentation method is used for segmented LP characters from two different types of Korean LPs, which are a single row LP (SRLP) and double row LP (DRLP). The cross-correlation matching method is used for LPCR. Our experimental results show that the proposed methods for LPCS and LPCR can be easily implemented, and they achieved 99.35% and 99.85% segmentation and recognition accuracy rates, respectively for Korean LPs.

According to the advantageous features of flash memory, its exploitation and application in mobile and ubiquitous related devices as well as voluminous storage devices is being increased rapidly. The inherent properties that are determined by configuration of flash memory unit might restrict the promising expansion in its utilization. In this paper, we study policies based on threshold values, instead of using global search, in order to satisfy our objective that is to decrease the necessary processing cost or penalty for recycling of flash memory space at the same time minimizing the potential degradation of performance. The proposed cleaning methods create partitions of candidate memory regions, to be reclaimed as free, by utilizing global or dynamic threshold values. The impact of the proposed policies is evaluated through a number of experiments, the composition of the optimal configuration featuring the methods is tested through experiments as well.

In this paper, we propose and analyze three viral infection models with humoral immunity including an eclipse stage of infected cells. The incidence rate of infection is represented by bilinear incidence and saturated incidence in the first and second models, respectively, while it is given by a more general function in the third one. The neutralization rate of viruses is giv0en by bilinear form in the first two models, while it is given by a general function in the third one. For each model, we have derived two threshold parameters, the basic infection reproduction number which determines whether or not a chronic-infection can be established without humoral immunity and the humoral immune response activation number which determines whether or not a chronic-infection can be established with humoral immunity. By constructing suitable Lyapunov functions we have proven the global asymptotic stability of all equilibria of the models. For the third model, we have established a set of conditions on the threshold parameters and on the general functions which are sufficient for the global stability of the equilibria of the model. We have performed some numerical simulations for the third model with specific forms of the incidence and neutralization rates and have shown that the numerical results are consistent with the theoretical results.

We analyzed through numerical simulations the properties of a square beam homogenizer near the target for laser shock peening. The efficiency was calculated near the target by considering the plasma threshold of the metals. We defined the depth of focus of the square beam homogenizer with a given efficiency near the target. Then, we found the relationship between the depth of focus for the laser shock peening and four main parameters of the square beam homogenizer: the plasma threshold of the metal, the number of lenslets in the array-lens, the focal length of the condenser lens and the input beam size.

In this paper, a novel method called location-based delivery (LBD), which combines the short message service (SMS) and global position system (GPS), is proposed, and further, a realistic system for tracking a target's movement is developed. LBD reduces the number of short message transmissions while maintaining the location tracking accuracy within the acceptable range. The proposed approach, LBD, consists of three primary features: Short message format, location prediction, and dynamic threshold. The defined short message format is proprietary. Location prediction is performed by using the current location, moving speed, and bearing of the target to predict its next location. When the distance between the predicted location and the actual location exceeds a certain threshold, the target transmits a short message to the tracker to update its current location. The threshold is dynamically adjusted to maintain the location tracking accuracy and the number of short messages on the basis of the moving speed of the target. The experimental results show that LBD, indeed, outperforms other methods because it satisfactorily maintains the location tracking accuracy with relatively fewer messages.

This paper proposes a stereo vision-based forward obstacle detection and distance measurement method. In general, stereo vision-based obstacle detection methods in automotive applications can be classified into two categories: IPM (Inverse Perspective Mapping)-based and disparity histogram-based. The existing disparity histogram-based method was developed for stop-and-go applications. The proposed method extends the scope of the disparity histogram-based method to highway applications by 1) replacing the fixed rectangular ROI (Region Of Interest) with the traveling lane-based ROI, and 2) replacing the peak detection with a constant threshold with peak detection using the threshold-line and peakness evaluation. In order to increase the true positive rate while decreasing the false positive rate, multiple candidate peaks were generated and then verified by the edge feature correlation method. By testing the proposed method with images captured on the highway, it was shown that the proposed method was able to overcome problems in previous implementations while being applied successfully to highway collision warning/avoidance conditions, In addition, comparisons with laser radar showed that vision sensors with a wider FOV (Field Of View) provided faster responses to cutting-in vehicles. Finally, we integrated the proposed method into a longitudinal collision avoidance system. Experimental results showed that activated braking by risk assessment using the state of the ego-vehicle and measuring the distance to upcoming obstacles could successfully prevent collisions.
