Obtaining the complete trajectory of the object is a very important task in computer vision applications, such as video surveillance. Previous studies to recover the trajectory between two disconnected trajectory segments, however, do not takes into account the object's motion characteristics and uncertainty of trajectory segments. In this paper, we present a novel approach to recover the trajectory between two disjoint but associated trajectory segments, called goal-directed tracking. To incorporate the object's motion characteristics and uncertainty, the goal-directed state equation is first introduced. Then the goal-directed tracking framework is constructed by integrating the equation to the object tracking and trajectory linking process pipeline. Evaluation on challenging dataset demonstrates that proposed method can accurately recover the missing trajectory between two disconnected trajectory segments as well as appropriately constrain a motion of the object to the its goal(or the target state) with uncertainty.

burst-mode TDMA 시스템에 사용되는 모뎀에서는, 데이터 전송효율을 증가시키면서 동시에 만족할만한 BER 성능을 얻기 위해서, 반송파 포착(acquisition)성능 및 추적(tracking)성능이 우수하여야 한다. 본 논문에서는 이를 위한 새로운 결정지향 반송파 복원(decision-directed carrier recovery) 알고리즘을 제안하였다. 제안한 방식은 PLL(Phase Locked Loop)을 사용하지 않기 때문에 빠른 반송파 포착이 가능하며, 가우시안 잡음이 부과된 입력신호를 수신단 전단에서 억압하는 사전 필터링(pre-filtering) 방식을 적용함으로 반송파 추적성능이 우수하다. 시뮬레이션을 통하여 제안한 방식의 BER 성능 및 포착 성능을 고찰해본 결과, 수신부에서 비교적 정확한 국부 발진기(local oscillator)를 채용하는 경우에는 기존의 방식에 비해 특히 BER 성능이 우수하였다. 이는 기존의 방식과는 달리 제안한 방식에서는 low SNR 환경에서도 cycle slip이 거의 발생하지 않는 장점이 있기 때문이다.

Objectives: This study was performed to identify the current barriers of obesity management for children using Community Child Care Centers and their caregivers (parents and teachers working in the Centers). Further, this study explored the possibility of utilizing a mobile phone application for tailored obesity prevention and management programs to overcome the current difficulties associated with children's obesity management. Methods: The qualitative data were collected through in-depth interviews with 20 obese and overweight children or children who wanted to participate in this study using Community Child Care Centers, 12 teachers working at the Centers, and a focus group interview with five parents of children using the Centers. Data were analyzed with a thematic approach categorizing themes and sub-themes based on the transcripts. Results: The current barriers of obesity management of obese and overweight children using Community Child Care Centers were lack of self-directed motivation regarding obesity management (chronic obesity-induced lifestyles and reduced self-confidence due to stigma) and lack of support from households and Community Child Care Centers (latchkey child, inconsistency in dietary guidance between the Center and household, repetitive pressure to eat, and absence of regular nutrition education). Mobile phone applications may have potential to overcome the current barriers by providing handy and interesting obesity management based on visual media (real-time tracking of lifestyles using behavior records and social support using gamification), environmental support (supplementation of parental care and network-based education between the Community Child Care Center and household), and individualized intervention (encouragement of tailored and gradual changes in eating habits and tailored goal setting). It is predicted that the real-time mobile phone program will provide information for improving nutritional knowledge and behavioral skills as well as lead to sustainable children's coping strategies regarding obesity management. In addition, it is expected that environmental factors may be improved by network-based education between the Community Child Care Centers and households using the characteristics of mobile phones, which are free from space and time constraints. Conclusions: The tailored education program for children using Community Child Care Centers based on mobile phones may prevent and reduce childhood obesity by overcoming the current barriers of obesity management for children, providing environmental and individualized support to promote healthy lifestyles and quality of life in the future.
