This paper aims to suggest the compromising vision of nature and technology as the solution to get out of the globally accelerated technology environment in Don DeLillo's Cosmopolis. This novel intends to emphasize on the importance of physical environment as a precondition for the survival of human. Eric wants to be a posthuman with the cybernetic idea, pursuing to be the digital self in a vast biosphere that integrates both the nature and the technology. His obsessive worship of technology through his quest for the futurity results in the effacement of the humanity and the insulation from the nature. Cosmopolis is DeLillo's first 9/11 novel, which describes a young-billionaire asset manager Eric's one-day life in New York in April 2000. Eric can be the third Twin Tower as a symbol of global economic hegemony. By the allusion of the 9/11 catastrophic event, it can be said that Eric's fall is caused by his hubris and avarice as a global capitalist. Crossing the 47th Street toward the West in his limousine, his journey is revealed as the environmental reflections on his desires to attain the futurity and transcendence by technology. This novel cautions that the abuse of technology can bring out the obsolescence and erasure of the humanity and the nature. DeLillo suggests that the best hope for the evolutionary possibility of posthuman can be realized through the correlation with nature and technology. This future-oriented novel warns that the excessive technology should not lead to the disappearance of community and humanity, and the separation of self and nature. It admonishes that they should not follow pseudo-cosmopolitanism as the greedy world citizens, devoting on the velocity of newest technology. This novel recommends that humans should be the world citizen of global ecosystem, making the ameliorative environment through the correlation with self/environment and technology/nature, and gardening the restorative biosphere and the younger planet.

색각 이상자들은 채도와 명도가 낮은 색채들에 대해 분별력을 갖지 못할 뿐 아니라 감성 왜곡과 관련하여 부정적인 감성을 표출한다. 감성의 기본이 되는 감각에 대한 왜곡을 바로 잡고자 함은 색각이상자들이 디지털 문화콘텐츠에 접할 때 느끼는 부정적인 감성보다 긍정적인 감성을 높이기 위해서이다. 대비는 채도와 명도간의 변환되는 방향이 다르게 하여 높이고, 이를 통해 원본 이미지가 전달하는 동적과 정적, 선명함과 칙칙함이라는 감각 왜곡을 감소시켜 색각 이상자에게 전달한다. 이를 색변환이 이뤄지는 영역에 대하여 채도와 명도를 변환하는 대비기반 색변환 방법을 제안하고 이 방법이 감각 왜곡을 감소시킨다는 것을 색변환 시뮬레이션과 사용자 테스트를 사용하여 확인한다.

본 논문은 수직 이착륙 무인 항공시스템의 GPS (global positioning system) 불가 시 대체 항법 시스템으로의 영상보정항법 시스템을 시험하기 위한 검증환경 개발 내용을 소개한다. 개발 중인 영상보정항법 시스템의 시험 및 평가를 위해서는 가상 환경을 활용하는 것이 효율적이지만, 현재 국내에는 적합한 장비가 개발되어 있지 않다. 따라서 제안된 검증환경은 시험 대상 장비의 운용 환경을 모델링 및 시뮬레이션 하여 입력 신호를 생성하고, 출력 신호를 관측함으로써 대상 장비의 성능을 평가할 수 있도록 개발되었다. 연구 과정은 검증환경 요구도 생성, 검증환경 설계에서부터 구성품별 하드웨어 및 소프트웨어 설계, 제작까지 포괄적으로 기술되었다. 이를 바탕으로 제작된 검증환경을 개발 중인 영상기반 보정항법 알고리즘의 성능평가와 시뮬레이션 기반의 사전 비행시험 수행에 활용하였다.

It is desirable to use the square grid analysis with the aid of the stereo vision and image processing techniques in order to automatically measure the surface-strain distribution over a stamped part. But this method has some inherent problems such as the difficulty in enhancement of bad images, the measurement error due to the digital image resolution and the limit of the area that can be measured at a time. Therefore, it is still hard to measure the strain distribution over the entire surface of a medium-or large-sized stamped part even by using an automated strain measurement system. In this study, several methods which enable to solve these problems considerably without losing accuracy and precision In measurement are suggested. The superposition of images that have different high-lightened or damaged part from each other gives much enhanced image. A new algorithm for constructing of the element connectivity from the line-thinned image helps recognize up to 1,000 elements. And the geometry assembling algorithm including the global error minimization makes it possible to measure a large specimen with reliability and efficiency.

As extremes of climate such as heavy storms, rainfalls, and droughts tend to be routine in recent years, global climate change becomes a serious concern not only for natural scientists but also for scholars of the human sciences. Efforts to tackle the anthropogenic climate change certainly require not only scientific knowledge about it but also a new sociocultural paradigm for valorizing and respecting nature in its own right. The huge casualties and mass destruction caused by recent climate disasters also remind us that nature has been an important factor to bring about changes in human history-a fact largely ignored in traditional history. This again validates the ecocritical request to prioritize place, physical setting, or the relationship characters hold with the natural world in understanding literary works. In this context this paper aims to demonstrate the importance of the meteorological vision in creating as well as understanding literary and cultural texts by examining such works as Shelley's "The Cloud," Byron's "Darkness," Keats's "To Autumn," all produced during the period of dramatic climate change including "the year without summer." It also briefly discusses Roland Emmerich's 2004 movie The Day after Tomorrow as a way of understanding recent cultural responses to the crisis of global warming.

Up to 10% of the global population suffers from color vision deficiency (CVD) [1], especially deuteranomaly and protanomaly, the conditions in which it is difficult to discriminate between red and green hues. For those who suffer from CVD, their career fields are restricted, and their childhood education is frustrating. There are many optical eye glasses on the market to compensate for this disability. However, although they are attractive due to their light weight, wearing these glasses will decrease visual brightness and cause problems at night. Therefore, this paper presents a supplementary device that comprises a head-mounted display and an image sensor. With the aid of the image processing technique of digital color space adjustment implemented in a high-speed field-programmable gate array device, the users can enjoy enhanced vision through the display without any decrease in brightness.

This paper describes a method of estimating miniature train location by color vision for development of an intelligent railway system model. In the teal world, to control trains automatically, GPS(Global Positioning System) is indispensable to determine the location of trains. A color vision system was used for estimating the location of trains in an indoor experiment. Two different rectangular color bars were attached to the top of each train as a means of identifying them. Several trains were detected where they were located on the track by color feature, geometric features and moment invariant, and tracked simultaneously. In the experiment the identity, location and direction of each train were estimated and transferred to the control computer using serial communication. Processing speed of up to 8 frames/sec could be achieved, which was enough speed for the real-time train control.

Autonomous Lane detection with vision is a difficult problem because of various road conditions, such as shadowy road surface, various light conditions, and the signs on the road. In this paper we propose a robust lane detection algorithm to overcome shadowy road problem using a statistical method. The algorithm is applied to the vision-based mobile robot system and the robot followed the lane with the lane following controller. In parallel with the lane following controller, the global position of the robot is estimated by the developed localization method to specify the locations where the lane is discontinued. The results of experiments, done in the region where the GPS measurement is unreliable, show good performance to detect and to follow the lane in complex conditions with shades, water marks, and so on.

본 논문에서는 휴머노이드를 이용한 로봇 축구 시스템을 새롭게 제안하며, 다수의 인간형 로봇을 제어하는 방법과 축구 경기를 하기 위한 전략 알고리즘 등에 대해 기술하였다. 로봇의 위치와 방향을 파악하기 위해서 로봇의 위쪽 어깨 부분에 각각의 로봇을 구분할 수 있는 칼라 태그를 부착하였고, 빠른 위치와 방향 인식을 위해 전용의 PC를 통해 영상인식을 수행하였다. 본 논문에서 제안한 휴머노이드 로봇 축구 시스템은 기존의 바퀴 구동형 축구 로봇을 한 단계 발전시킨 것으로, 앞으로 많은 연구를 통하여, 인간처럼 자율 이동이 가능한 로봇 축구 경기가 가능하리라 본다.

In this paper, we developed the inspection system of electric vehicle pouch battery using image processing. Line scan cameras are used for acquiring the all parts of the pouch battery, and several steps of image processing for extracting significant dimensions(User Required Position) of the battery. In image processing, edge lines, node points, dimension lines, etc. were extracted using Preprocessor, Square Edge Detection, and Size Detection algorithms. This is used to measure the dimensions of the location requested by the user on the pouch battery. For verification of the inspection system, the dimensions of three pouch batteries produced in the same process were measured, and the mean and standard deviation were obtained to confirm the precision.
