In this paper, we propose a new method to detect abrupt and gradual shot transitions of video data by using certainty factors. The abrupt transitions denotes cuts and the gradual transitions fade in, fade out, dissolve, horizontal wipes, vertical wipes, Barn Doors, and Iris Rounds. The suggested method first extracts representative features for each shot transition and determines corresponding shot transitions by integrating all the extracted features and inferring adequate transitions. To verify the performance of the proposed shot transition method, experimental results show that the suggested method can detect shot transitions more accurately than existing methods.

Video segmentation is a fundamental task in video indexing and it includes two kinds of shot change detections such as the abrupt transition and the gradual transition. The abrupt shot boundaries are detected by computing the image-based distance between adjacent frames and comparing this distance with a pre-determined threshold value. However, the gradual shot boundaries are difficult to detect with this approach. To overcome this difficulty, we propose the method that detects gradual transition in the MPEG compressed video using the HMM (Hidden Markov Model). We take two different HMMs such as a discrete HMM and a continuous HMM with a Gaussian mixture model. As image features for HMM's observations, we use two distinct features such as the difference of histogram of DC images between two adjacent frames and the difference of each individual macroblock's deviations at the corresponding macroblock's between two adjacent frames, where deviation means an arithmetic difference of each macroblock's DC value from the mean of DC values in the given frame. Furthermore, we obtain the DC sequences of P and B frame by the first order approximation for a fast and effective computation. Experiment results show that we obtain the best detection and classification performance of gradual transitions when a continuous HMM with one Gaussian model is taken and two image features are used together.

A Lennard-Jones fluid layer adsorbed on a smooth solid surface was studied at coverages $\theta$ ~ 0.8 to 1.8 on an isotherm by performing intensive grand canonical Monte Carlo simulations. The results clearly show a picture of two-step melting process which used to be observed in recent thermodynamic measurements of argon monolayer melting on graphite. The observed melting process consist of an abrupt density change followed by a gradual transition. Snapshots of monolayer configurations indicate that the creation and dissociation of a dislocation pair are involved in the melting mechanism. Taking the effect of system size into account, it is suggested that, while the abrupt density change may be not related to the theory of Kosterlitz, Thouless, Halperin, Nelson, and Young (KTHNY), the second gradual transition is probably a KTHNY-type melting transition.

In this work, a new microstrip-to-substrate integrated waveguide (SIW) transition using the parallel half-mode substrate integrated waveguide (HMSIW) is proposed. The proposed transition consists of three sections : a microstrip, parallel HMSIWs, and an SIW. By inserting the parallel HMSIWs section between the microstrip section and the SIW section, the proposed transition can improve the return loss characteristics of the near cut-off frequency because the HMSIWs section has a lower cut-off frequency than the SIW section (8.6 GHz). The lower cut-off frequency is achieved through gradual electromagnetic field mode changes for a low reflection. The measured return loss is less than 20 dB in the of 9.1~16.28 GHz freqeuncy range for the back-to-back transition. The measured insertion loss is within 1.6 dB for the back-to-back transition. The proposed transition is expected to play an important role in wideband SIW circuits fed by a microstrip.

Primary function of a transition curve is to accomplish gradual transition from the straight to circular curve, so that curvature changes from zero to a finite value. The transition curve enhances the running safety and ride comfort of the vehicle in curve. There are a couple of transition curve such as clothoid, cubic parabola and cosinusoidal curve, etc. In this study, running behaviors of cubic parabola and cosinusoidal curve were investigated and compared by numerical analysis result using VAMPIRE program. Ride comforts for an individual transition curve were evaluated for each transition curve and running behavior and safety were also evaluated to compare the capacity of transition curves.

A significant number of tropical cyclones move into the midlatitudes and go through transformation procedure into extratropical cyclones. This process is generally referred to as extratropical transition of the tropical cyclone. In this study, MIDULLE(0407) case is selected. A thorough analysis is made using the GDAPS analysis data and MTM (Moving-nest Typhoon Model) model output. It is found that during the extratropical transition an important dynamics in the environmetal flow field occurs in which colder, drier (warm, moist) air penetrates in the western (eastern) quadrant of MINDULLE's outer circulation, which in turn initiates an asymmetry in the distribution of wind and temperature of the tropical cyclone. Simulated MTM result also reveals similar properties as in GDAPS analysis data. MTM result shows the gradual transition to the asymmetric distribution of wind and thickness as the extratropical transition proceeds. It is also found that the warm core disappears during the extratropical transition stage. Also, vortex tube is shown tilting towards the west during the transition. And the precipitation expands poleward of the center and the maximum precipitation appears to the left of MINDULLE which is consistent to the observations.

A high-performance wideband transition from double-sided parallel-stripline (DSPSL) to coplanar stripline (CPS) is proposed. This transition is designed by consideration of gradual field transformation and optimal impedance matching between DSPSL and CPS. Clear design guidelines of proposed transition are provided to determine the ground shape and the transition length. The fabricated transition exhibits less than 0.7 dB insertion loss per transition for frequencies from 6.2 to 18.2 GHz, and less than 1.25 dB insertion loss to over 30 GHz.

In this paper, we propose a transmission rate prediction method of video data. The proposed method checks shot transition characteristics after dividing MPEG video data into a GoP unit and then uses Kalman filter. It used algorithm to detect shot transition information by high speed in compressed domain in order to check a correct shot transition of video data and classified into a abrupt shot transition type and a gradual shot transition type. Information to have been classifying is used as factors of Kalman filter and predicts a transmission rate of video data. Also, the proposed method decreased processing time with detecting shot transition and predicting a transmission rate of video data in compressed domain. It predicted a transmission rate with 96.2- 97.6% in the experiment that used three kinds of 911 1frames of different video data.

Mugiyeondang(舞沂蓮塘) is the garden that the provincial noble family in Yeongnam(嶺南) has constructed since the late Joseon period. Mugiyeondang is well known as a typical case of traditional garden in Joseon period. But it is also an exceptional case because of its informal layout that infers gradual space transition. This study aims to establish the historical story of the garden beyond the superficial description about existing spatial status and literature materials. Mugiyeondang had been constructed by seven generations of the family during two hundred years, and there were significant events at every transition points. The figure and name of elements reflects each historical change of the family. Mugiyeondang is an important case to notice that a garden was not just a subsidiary space for mere leisure life of the gentry of Joseon period, But it was an important for some families as their representative and symbolic space.

Relative to the outer surface of the mastic coating, the reliability of the available waterproofing resource is determined by the ability to stabilize the structural characteristics in difficult climatic conditions. Organic components of mastic as a result of solar radiation, elevated temperatures and their alternating change, atmospheric oxidants, especially in industrial areas, have a tendency to self-polymerization and loss of low molecular weight components. This is the gradual loss of deformability and the transition to brittleness with its tendency to crack as the reasons for the gradual transition from normal to emergency operating condition.The presented mechanism of functioning of the coating surface indicates the expediency of increasing its components, able to stabilize the structure and prevent changes in deformability.Durability, hydrophobicity, water displacement, water absorption are accepted as estimating indicators. The main dependences of the influence of the lost additional components of mastic on the operational properties of the formed coating characterize the ability to provide successful resistance to environmental influences and longer stability. As a result, mastic acquires additional service life.
