본 논문에서는 입력된 자연영상으로부터 도로 영역을 검출하기 위한 소실점 자동 예측 방법을 제안한다. 제안하는 방법에서는 도로 환경에서 안정적으로 소실점을 검출하기 위해 영상의 주방향성을 분석하여 영상 특징성분들이 집중되는 곳을 소실점으로 예측한다. 이를 위해 첫번째 단계에서는, 영상을 일정크기의 서브블록으로 분할하고 분할된 서브블록 내에서 임의의 에지 샘플을 선택하고 RANSAC을 적용하여 직선 모델을 예측함으로서 각 서브블록의 주방향성을 분석한다. 모든 블록에 대하여 주방향성을 검출한 후, 두 번째 단계에서 임의의 직선 샘플을 선택하고 RANSAC을 적용하여 교점 모델을 예측함으로서 각 직선들로 인한 교점 모델의 비용값을 측정하고 가장 높은 비용값의 교점 모델에 의한 평균점으로 소실점을 예측한다. 마지막으로 성능 검증을 위해 다양한 상황에 따른 정량적, 정성적 분석을 통해 제안하는 소실점 검출 알고리즘의 타당성과 효율성을 입증한다.

본 논문은 다중의 플레이어들이 단합된 동작을 통해 노를 저어 보트를 이동시키도록 하기 위해 동작에 의해 구동되는 조정(rowing) 시뮬레이션 프레임워크를 제안한다. 실제 조정 경기에서 보트를 가속하기 위해서는 선수들이 시간과 자세에 대해 노 젓는 동작을 동기화 시키는 것이 매우 중요하다. 조정의 이러한 흥미로운 특징을 이용하여, 본 논문에서는 다중 플레이어들이 노 젓는 동작을 수행하는 동안 그들 사이의 동작 유사도를 실시간으로 측정하고 그 유사도에 기반하여 가상 환경에서 보트의 속도를 제어한다. 또한 제안된 프레임워크에 아이템 획득과 같은 게임적인 요소들을 추가하여 플레이어들의 조화된 행동에 의해 아이템을 획득한 경우 아이템 종류에 따라 배의 속도가 증가하거나 감소하도록 한다. 이러한 게임적인 요소들은 플레이어들이 단합된 조정 동작을 생성하기 위한 좋은 팀워크를 훈련할 때 좀더 적극적으로 참여하도록 장려한다. 노 젓는 동작과 아이템을 획득하는 동작을 인식하기 위해 본 논문에서 제안하는 방법은 머리와 양손에 대한 추적 데이터만을 필요로 하며 실시간에 동작할 정도로 충분히 빠르다. 몰입감을 높이기 위해 조정 시뮬레이션 결과를 대형 곡면 스크린에 프로젝션 한다.

This paper presents a salient region detection algorithm for auto-focusing based on the characteristics of a human's visual attention. To describe the saliency at the local, regional, and global levels, this paper proposes a set of novel features including multi-scale local contrast, variance, center-surround entropy, and closeness to the center. Those features are then prioritized to produce a saliency map. The major advantage of the proposed approach is twofold; i) robustness to changes in focus and ii) low computational complexity. The experimental results showed that the proposed method outperforms the existing low-level feature-based methods in the sense of both robustness and accuracy for auto-focusing.

Recently, many methods to analyze signal have been proposed and representative methods are the Fourier transform and wavelet transform. In these methods, the Fourier transform represents signal with combination cosine and sine at all locations in the frequency domain. However, it doesn't provide time information that particular frequency occurs in signal and denpends on only the global feature of the signal. So, to improve these points the wavelet transform which is capable of multiresolution analysis has been applied to many fields such as speech processing, image processing and computer vision. And the wavelet transform, which uses changing window according to scale parameter, presents time-frequency localization. In this paper, we proposed a new approach using a wavelet of cosine and sine type and analyzed features of signal in a limited point of frequency-time plane.

Methane emitted from ruminant livestock is regarded as a loss of feed energy and also a contributor to global warming. Methane is synthesized in the rumen as one of the hydrogen sink products that are unavoidable for efficient succession of anaerobic microbial fermentation. Various attempts have been made to reduce methane emission, mainly through rumen microbial manipulation, by the use of agents including chemicals, antibiotics and natural products such as oils, fatty acids and plant extracts. A newer approach is the development of vaccines against methanogenic bacteria. While ionophore antibiotics have been widely used due to their efficacy and affordable prices, the use of alternative natural materials is becoming more attractive due to health concerns regarding antibiotics. An important feature of a natural material that constitutes a possible alternative methane inhibitor is that the material does not reduce feed intake or digestibility but does enhance propionate that is the major hydrogen sink alternative to methane. Some implications of these approaches, as well as an introduction to antibiotic-alternative natural materials and novel approaches, are provided.

Single Carrier Frequency Domain Multiple Access (SC-FDMA) has proven to be the best long term evolution for uplink multiple access because of its low Peak to Average Power Ratio (PAPR), a feature that leads to low power consumption. This is achievable only if the resource allocation is performed in a contiguous manner. This paper proposes a new approach with an improvement in the global resources allocation. The new approach presented utilizes the gain function, which adopts some of the procedures deduced from the older Recursive Maximum Expansion (RME) algorithm. The experiment proved that the new approach is better than the original RME algorithms and in most cases, is closer to the optimal solution.

This paper presetns an iterative relaxation method for stereo matching using matching probability and compatibility coefficients between disparities. Stereo matching can be considered as the labeling problem of assigning unique matches to feature points of image an relaxation labelin gis an iterative procedure which reduces local ambiguities and achieves global consistency. the relation between disparities is determined from highly reliable matches in initial matching and quantitatively expressed in temrs of compatibility coefficient. The matching results of neighbor pixels support center pixel through compatibility coefficients and update its matching probability. The proposed adaptive method reduces the degradtons on the discontinuities of disparity areas and obtains fast convergence.

The subchannel analysis capability of MARS, a multi-dimensional thermal-hydraulic system code, has been enhanced. In particular, the turbulent mixing and void drift models for the flow-mixing phenomena in rod bundles were improved. Then, the subchannel analysis feature was combined with the existing coupled system thermal-hydraulics (T/H) and 3D reactor kinetics calculation capability of MARS. These features allow for more realistic simulations of both the hot channel behavior and the global system T/H behavior. Using the coupled features of MARS, a coupled analysis of a main steam line break (MSLB) is carried out for demonstration purposes. The results of the calculations are very reasonable and promising.

Fingerprint verification is being adopted widely to provide positive identification with a high degree of confidence in all practical areas. This popular usage requires reliable methods for matching of these patterns. To meet the latest expectations, the paper presents a pair wise distance histogram method for fingerprint matching. Here, we introduced a randomized algorithm which exploits pair wise distances between the pairs of minutiae, as a basic feature for match. The method undergoes two steps for completion i.e. first it performs the matching locally then global matching parameters are calculated in second step. The proposed method is robust to common problems that fingerprint matching faces, such as scaling, rotation, translational changes and missing points etc. The paper includes the test of algorithm on various randomly generated minutiae and real fingerprints as well. The results of the tests resemble qualities and utility of method in related field.

A method of two and three dimensional orthogonal grid generation with control of spacing by using the covariant Laplace equation is Presented. An important feature of the methodology is its ability to control effectively the grid spacing especially near the boundaries still maintaining good orthogonality in whole field. The method is based on the concept of decomposition of the global transformation into consecutive transformation of an approximate conformal mapping and au auxiliary orthogonal mapping to have linear and uncoupled equations. Control of cell spacing is based on the concept of reference arc length, and orthogonal correction is performed in the auxiliary domain. It is concluded that the methodology can successfully generate well controlled orthogonal grids around bodies of 2 and 3 dimensional configurations.
