Image registration is an essential process to analyze the time series of satellite images for the purpose of image fusion and change detection. The Mutual Information (MI) is commonly used as similarity measure for image registration because of its robustness to noise. Due to the radiometric differences, it is not easy to apply MI to multi-temporal satellite images using directly the pixel intensity. Image features for MI are more abundantly obtained by employing a Gabor filter which varies adaptively with the filter characteristics such as filter size, frequency and orientation for each pixel. In this paper we employed Bidirectional Gabor Filter Energy (BGFE) defined by Gabor filter features and applied the BGFE to similarity measure calculation as an image feature for MI. The experiment results show that the proposed method is more robust than the conventional MI method combined with intensity or gradient magnitude.

Sapphire crystals were grown by Horizontal Bridgman method. The effects of sliding rate (growth rate) of Molybdenum container, growth atmosphere, temperature gradient and orientation of see on crystal qualities were investigated. The size of the crystals grown was up to 150-200 mm in length, 90 mm in width and 25-35 mm in thickness. Crystals grown under the optimum conditions were colorless, transparent and could not be observed and macroscopic defects, such as bubbles, cracks, twins and mosaic structure. With the grown crystals, prototypes of sapphire substrate for blue wafers were characterized. As a result, we can get hight quality of sapphire wafers with c-axis, 1.5 inches in diameters and 0.33 mm in thickess.

The preparation of n-type thermoelectric material of Bi₂ Te/sub 2.55/Se/sub 0.45/ doped with CuBr₂ was carried out using a vertical gradient freezing method. With this method, unidirectional solidified Bi₂Te/sub 2.55/Se/sub 0.45/ has been obtained. XRD analysis demonstrated that Bi₂/sub 2.55/Se/sub 0.45/ 5 ingot has grown with prefer orientation of (0 1 5) face. Seebeck coefficient and electrical conductivity were measured as functions of temperature in the range of 373 K to 523 K on the sample which prepared via VGF method.

This paper presents the implementation of the Blatz-Ko hyperelastic compressible model in a finite element program to deal with large deformation problems. We show analytically and numerically that the minimum number of increment steps in the Newton-Raphson algorithm depends on material properties and applied loads. We also show that this dependence is related to the orientation preservation principle. So we propose a convergence criteria based on the sign of eigenvalues of the deformation gradient matrix.

Fractal manufacturing system (FrMS) distinguishes itself from other manufacturing systems by the fact that there is a fractal repeated at every scale. A fractal is a volatile organization which consists of goal-oriented agents referred to as AIR-units (autonomous and intelligent resource units). AIR-units unrestrictedly reconfigure fractals in accordance with their own goals. Their goals can be dynamically changed along with the environmental status. Since goals of AIR-units are represented as fuzzy models, an AIR-unit itself is a fuzzy logic controller. This paper presents a goal regulation mechanism in the FrMS. In particular, a reinforcement learning method is adopted as a regulating mechanism of the fuzzy goal model, which uses only weak reinforcement signal. Goal regulation is achieved by building a feedforward neural network to estimate compatibility level of current goals, which can then adaptively improve compatibility by using the gradient descent method. Goal-oriented features of AIR-units are also presented.

최근 사람의 생체정보를 이용하여 동일인 여부를 판별하는 생체인식에 대한 연구가 활발히 진행되고 있다. 지금까지 인증이나 인식에 사용된 생체 정보로는 홍채, 지문, 망막, 음성, 얼굴 등이 있으며 그 중 홍채는 신뢰성이나 정확성 면에서 우수한 성능을 가진다. 홍채 인식은 다양한 환경하에서 홍채를 취득해야 하기 때문에 주변 환경에 민감할 수 밖에 없다. 특히 홍채의 회전으로 인한 홍채 무늬 패턴의 변화에 강인한 특징을 추출하는 것은 홍채 인식에 있어 매우 중요하다. 본 논문에서는 국부적 그래디언트 방향 히스토그램을 이용한 회전된 홍채의 특징 추출 방법을 제안하였다. 제안된 방법은 성능면에서 기존의 방법들과 비교하여 대등한 성능을 보여주는 것을 실험을 통해 확인하였다.

단섬유 보강 플래스틱 재료의 사출성형 충전공정에서 금형재의 유동장이 섬유 배향 상태를 형성하는데 중요한 역할을 할 뿐만 아니라 섬유의 배향상태가 역으로 유동장에 영향 을 미친다. 충전유동과 섬유 배향의 연계해석을 위하여 단섬유에 의한 추가적인 응력을 포 함하는 Dinh과 Armstrong의 이방성 구성방정식을 충전유동의 해석에 도입하였다. 평명방향 으로의 속도구배에 의한 응력을 고려하여 새롭게 유도된 압력 지배방정식과 에너지방정식을 유한요소법과 유한차분법을 이용하여 풀고 동시에 2차배향텐서의 변화방정식을 4차 Runge-kutta 방법을 이용하여 풀었다. 절점 게이트 주변의 확장유동영역과 라인게이트를 통한 수축유동영역에서 평면방향으로의 속도구배에 의한 응력이 유동장에 미치는 영향을 고 찰하였다. 확장유동영역에서는 평면방향으로의 속도구배에 의한 영향이 추가적인 유량으로 나타나면서 주어진 유량조건하에서 평면방향으로의 속도구배에 의한 응력을 고려하지 않은 경우보다 작은 압력구배를 나타냈다. 수축유동영역에서는 위와 반대의 결과를 보였다. 이러 한 경향은 섬유의 부피분율이증가하거나 모양비가 커짐에 따라 증가한다.

This work is to extend the elliptic operator, which has been already adopted in turbulent stress model, to fully developed turbulent buoyant channel flows with changing the orientation of the buoyancy vector to be perpendicular to the channel walls. The turbulent heat flux models based on the elliptic concept are employed and closely linked to the elliptic blending second moment closure which is used for the prediction of Reynolds stresses. In order to reflect the stable or unstable stratification conditions, the present model introduces the gradient Richardson number into the thermal to mechanical time scale ratio and model coefficients. The present model has been applied for the computation of stably and unstably stratified turbulent channel flows and the prediction results are directly compared to the DNS data.

The primary purpose of this research is to scientifically investigate visual structure of Korean feng-shui at the level of village settlement. This study deals with Hahoi and Yangdong villages of which feng-shui is regarded highly fit to traditional feng-shui principles. Methodologically this research utilizes analytical tools of geographical information systems and statistical analysis methods, Visual structures of the villages'feng-shui are analyzed in terms of elevation, orientation, gradient of slope and relative dominance of visibility of major hills. A mathematical model is suggested to quantify facets of the villages'lung-shui with reference to slope trends. The quantitative analysis results indicate that both villages have good feng-shui. Hahoi village has an excellent feng-shui attributable to a near perfect harmony between water and terrain while Yangdong village has an effective feng-shui facet for conserving energy in terms of microclimate. Principles of fang-shui have potentials to be developed as a holistic planning and design language. Further in-depth research on feng-shui needed to accomplish this goal.
