장면 경계 검출은 비디오 데이타에서 의미적인 구조를 이해하는데 있어서 매우 중요한 역할을 한다. 하지만, 장면 경계 검출은 의미적인 일관성을 갖는 장면을 추출하여야 하므로 셧 경계 검출에 비해 매우 까다로운 작업이다. 본 논문에서는 비디오 데이타에 존재하는 의미적인 정보를 사용하기 위해 비디오 셧의 지역 및 전역 컨텍스트 정보를 추출하여 이를 바탕으로 장면 경계를 검출하는 방식을 제안한다. 비디오 셧의 지역 컨텍스트 정보는 셧 자체에 존재하는 컨텍스트 정보로서 전경 객체(foreground object), 배경(background) 및 움직임 정보들로 정의한다. 전역 컨텍스트 정보는 주어진 비디오 셧이 주위에 존재하는 다른 비디오 셧들과의 관계로부터 발생하는 다양한 컨텍스트로서 셧들간의 유사성, 상호 작용 및 셧들의 지속 시간 패턴으로 정의한다. 이런 컨텍스트 정보를 바탕으로 연결 작업, 연결 검증 작업 및 조정 작업등의 3단계 과정을 거쳐 장면을 검출한다. 제안된 방식을 TV 드라마 및 영화에 적용하여 80% 이상의 검출 정확도를 얻었다.

The global stiffnesses and vibration characteristics of vehicle structures are mainly influenced by local stiffnesses of the joint structures consisted of complicated thin-walled panels. In this paper, the parametric study for the stiffnesses of the center pillar-roof rail joint of vehicle structure is performed through the linear static analysis. The analysis result shows that the reinforcement panel much affects the joint stiffness of out-plane direction (i.e., z-direction). And also, the flange radius and width of the joint structure much affect the Joint stiffness of out-plane direction. The study shows that vehicle joint stiffnesses can be effectively determined in designing vehicle structure through the parametric study.

NUMA 구조는 원격 메모리에 대한 접근이 불가피한 구조적 특성 때문에 상호 연결망이 성능을 좌우하는 큰 변수가 된다. 기존에 대중적으로 사용되던 버스는 물리적 확장성 및 대역폭에서 대규모 시스템을 구성하는 데 한계를 보인다. 이를 대체하는 고속의 지점간 링크를 사용한 링 구조는 버스가 가지는 확장성 및 대역폭의 한계라는 단점을 개선하였으나, 많은 클러스터가 연결되는 경우에는 전송 지연시간이 증가하는 문제점을 가지고 있다. 본 논문에서는 스누핑 프로토콜이 적용된 링 구조에서 클러스터 개수 증가에 따른 지연시간 증가의 문제점을 보완하기 위해 계층적 링 구조로의 확장을 제안하고, 이 구조에 효과적인 캐쉬 일관성 프로토콜을 설계하였다. 전역 링과 지역 링을 연결하는 브리지는 캐쉬 프로토콜을 관리하며 이 프로토콜에 의해 지역 링의 부하를 줄일 수 있도록 트랜잭션을 필터링하는 역할도 담당함으로써 시스템의 성능을 향상시킨다. probability-driven 시뮬레이터를 통해 계층적 링 구조가 시스템의 성능 및 링 이용률에 미치는 영향을 알아본다. Abstract Since NUMA architecture has to access remote memory, interconnection network performance determines performance of NUMA architecture. Bus, which has been used as popular interconnection network of NUMA, has a limit to build a large-scale system because of limited physical scalability and bandwidth. Ring interconnection network, composed of high-speed point-to-point link, made up for bus's defects of scalability and bandwidth. But, it also has problem of increasing delay as the number of clusters is increased. In this paper, we propose a hierarchical expansion of snoop-based ring architecture in order to overcome ring's defects of increasing delay. And we also design an efficient cache coherence protocol adopted to this architecture. Bridge, which connects local ring and global ring, maintains cache coherence protocol and does snoop-filtering which reduces local ring and cluster bus utilization. Therefore bridge can improve performance of this system. We analyze effects of hierarchical architecture on the performance of system and utilization of point-to-point links using probability-driven simulator.

Purpose: To evaluate changes in the peripapillary retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) thicknesses using spectral-domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT) in hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) users. Methods: The medical records of HCQ users were retrospectively reviewed. In these HCQ users, an automated perimetry, fundus autofluorescence photography, and SD-OCT with peripapillary RNFL thickness measurements were performed. The peripapillary RNFL thicknesses were compared between the HCQ users and the control groups. The relationships between the RNFL thicknesses and the duration or cumulative dosage of HCQ use were analyzed. Results: This study included 77 HCQ users and 20 normal controls. The mean duration of HCQ usage was $63.6{\pm}38.4$ months, and the cumulative dose of HCQ was $528.1{\pm}3.44g$. Six patients developed HCQ retinopathy. Global and six sectoral RNFL thicknesses of the HCQ users did not significantly decrease compared to those of the normal controls. No significant correlation was found between the RNFL thickness and the duration of use or cumulative dose. The eyes of those with HCQ retinopathy had temporal peripapillary RNFL thicknesses significantly greater than that of normal controls. Conclusions: The peripapillary RNFL thicknesses did not change in the HCQ users and did not correlate with the duration of HCQ use or cumulative doses of HCQ. RNFL thickness is not a useful biomarker for the early detection of HCQ retinal toxicity.

The objective of this study is a qualitative comparison between line-integrated OH chemiluminescence(OH$\^$*/) image and its Abel inverted image to investigate the flame structure at different phase of the oscillating pressure field. PIV(Particle Image Velocimetry) measurements were conducted under non-reacting conditions to see the global flow structure and NOx emission was measured to investigate the effect of fuel-air premixing on combustion instability and emission characteristics. Experiments were carried out in an atmospheric pressure, laboratory-scale dump combustor operating on natural gas. Combustion instabilities in present study exhibited a longitudinal mode with a dominant frequency of ∼341.8㎐, which corresponded to a quarter wave mode of combustor. Heat release and pressure waves were in-phase when instability occurred. Results gave an insight about the location where the strong coherence of pressure and heat release existed. Also an additional information on active control to suppress the combustion instabilities was obtained. For lean premixed combustion, strong correlation between OH$\^$*/ and NOx emissions was expected largely due to the exponential dependence of thermal NOx mechanism on flame temperature.

The objective of this study is a qualitative comparison between line-integrated OH chemiluminescence ($OH{\ast}$) image and its Abel inversion image at different phase of the oscillating pressure field. PIV(Particle Image Velocimetry) measurements were conducted under non-reacting conditions to see the global flow structure. Also NOx emission was measured to investigate the effect of fuel-air premixing on combustion instability and emission characteristics. Experiments were carried out in an atmospheric pressure, laboratory-scale dump combustor operating on natural gas. Combustion instabilities in present study exhibited a longitudinal mode with a dominant frequency of ${\sim}341.8$ Hz, which corresponded to a quarter wave mode of combustor. Heat release and pressure waves were in-phase when instability occurred. Results gave an insight about the location where the strong coherence of pressure and heat release existed. Also an additional information on active control to suppress the combustion instabilities was obtained. For lean premixed combustion, strong correlation between $OH{\ast}$ and NOx emissions was expected largely due to the exponential dependence of thermal NOx mechanism on flame temperature.

Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) combined with attention mechanism is extensively used to generate semantic sentences of images in image captioning models. However, features of salient regions and spatial information are not utilized sufficiently in most related works. Meanwhile, the LSTM also suffers from the problem of underutilized information in a single time step. In the paper, two innovative approaches are proposed to solve these problems. First, the Synergy-Gated Attention (SGA) method is proposed, which can process the spatial features and the salient region features of given images simultaneously. SGA establishes a gated mechanism through the global features to guide the interaction of information between these two features. Then, the Recurrent Fusion LSTM (RF-LSTM) mechanism is proposed, which can predict the next hidden vectors in one time step and improve linguistic coherence by fusing future information. Experimental results on the benchmark dataset of MSCOCO show that compared with the state-of-the-art methods, the proposed method can improve the performance of image captioning model, and achieve competitive performance on multiple evaluation indicators.

Ground subsidence in urban areas is mainly caused by anthropogenic factors such as excessive groundwater extraction and underground infrastructure development in the subsurface composed of soft materials. Global Navigation Satellite System data with high temporal resolution have been widely used to measure surface displacements accurately. However, these point-based terrestrial measurements with the low spatial resolution are somewhat limited in observing two-dimensional continuous surface displacements over large areas. The synthetic aperture radar interferometry (InSAR) technique can construct relatively high spatial resolution surface displacement information with accuracy ranging from millimeters to centimeters. Although constellation operations of SAR satellites have improved the revisit cycle, the temporal resolution of space-based observations is still low compared to in-situ observations. In this study, we evaluate the extraction of a time-series of surface displacement in Incheon Metropolitan City, South Korea, using the small baseline subset technique implemented using the commercial software, Gamma. For this purpose, 24 COSMO-SkyMed X-band SAR observations were collected from July 12, 2011, to August 27, 2012. The time-series surface displacement results were improved by reducing random phase noise, correcting residual phase due to satellite orbit errors, and mitigating nonlinear atmospheric phase artifacts. The perpendicular baseline of the collected COSMO-SkyMed SAR images was set to approximately 2-300 m. The surface displacement related to the ground subsidence was detected approximately 1 cm annually around a few Incheon Subway Line 2 route stations. The sufficient coherence indicates that the satellite orbit has been precisely managed for the interferometric processing.

연안 충적층 지역은 토양침식, 지반침하 등 지질 재해와 태풍, 홍수 해양 재해에 노출되어 인명 또는 재산 피해의 위험에 취약하다. 지반 침하는 지표 물질이 지하로 이동하면서 지반의 점진적인 또는 급격한 침강이 발생하는 현상으로 지속적인 감시가 요구된다. 영상레이더 위상간섭기법 (Radar Interferometry)은 마이크로파 영역에서 관측된 위상정보를 이용하여 지형 변위를 정밀하게 관측할 수 있는 기술이다. Small BAseline Subset(SBAS) 기법은 최소 20장 이상의 영상레이더 자료를 사용하여 대상 지역에 대한 시계열 지표 변위를 정밀하게 분석할 수 있어 지반침하 감시에 유용하다. X- 또는 C-밴드에 비해 장파장인 L-밴드 영상레이더 자료는 긴밀도 유지에 보다 유리하여 지구과학용으로 적합하다. 하지만 L-밴드 ALOS-2 PALSAR-2은 전지구 관측 프로그램을 운영하고 있어 시계열 분석을 하기에 영상 획득이 충분하지 않을 수 있다. 관심 지역인 부산의 경우, Stripmap 영상은 11장으로서 SBAS 시계열 분석 기법을 적용하기에는 부족한 촬영 수이다. 일반적으로 동일한 모드의 영상 간 위상간섭기법의 적용이 가능하지만, 비슷한 관측 기하에서 관측한 Stripmap과 ScanSAR 영상을 이용한 위상간섭기법의 적용이 성공적으로 수행된 바 있다. 해당 지역의 ScanSAR 영상은 18장으로 Stripmap-ScanSAR 위상간섭기법을 적용하면 SBAS 기법을 이용한 향상된 시계열 분석이 가능하게 된다. 본 연구에서는 Gamma 소프트웨어를 이용하여 ALOS-2 PALSAR-2로부터 획득된 L-band 영상 자료에 대한 위상간섭기법 적용 가능여부를 평가하였다. Stripmap-ScanSAR 위상간섭기법 적용을 위해 이종 모드 관측 영상 사이의 chirp bandwidth와 pulse repetition frequency (PRF)의 차이를 고려한 영상레이더 자료 처리를 수행하였으며, radar carrier frequency의 차이 보정과 common band filtering 적용 여부에 따라 발생하는 위상간섭도의 품질을 분석하였다. Radar carrier frequency 차이 보정에 따른 위상간섭도의 긴밀도 변화는 크게 나타나지 않았으나, common band filtering으로 인해, 위상간섭도에서 azimuth 방향으로 주기적인 잡음과 전체적인 긴밀도 저하가 발생하였다. 따라서 Stripmap-ScanSAR 위상간섭기법을 적용하는 경우 두 관측 모드의 range와 azimuth 방향의 밴드 폭의 특성에 따라 주의 깊은 자료 처리가 요구된다.
