  • Weather routing method is one of the best practices of SEEMP (Ship Energy Efficiency Management Plan) for fuel-efficient operation of ship. KR is carrying out a basic research for development of the weather routing algorithm and making a monitoring system by FOC (Fuel Oil Consumption) analysis compared to the reference, which is the great circle route. The added resistances applied global sea/weather data can be calculated using ship data, and the results can be corrected to ship motions. The global sea/weather data such as significant wave height, ocean current and wind data can be used to calculate the added resistances. The reference route in a usual navigation is the great circle route, which is the shortest distance route. The global sea/weather data can be divided into grids, and the nearest grid data from a ship's position can be used to apply a ocean going vessel's sea conditions. Powell method is used as an optimized routing technique to minimize FOC considered sea/weather conditions, and FOC result can be compared with the great circle route result.

  • In this paper, we propose a new method to read the hand of analog gauges to prepare for the smart factory. In addition, we suggest a new and improved method that can apply, in general, diverse analog gauges even if their scale types and ranges are various. Many companies are making great efforts to build smart factories that increase energy efficiency and automation. Managers use a variety of equipment and tools to manage the production process at the factory. In this kind of factory, analog gauges have been often used with many equipment and tools. Analog gauges are mostly circular in shape, and most papers use circular hough transform to find the center and radius of a circle. However, when the object to be found is not of the correct circle type, it takes a long time to recognize the circle using the circular hough transform, and the center and radius of the circle can not be calculated accurately. The proposed method was tested on various circular analog gauges. As a result, we confirmed that our method is outstanding.

  • The F2-layer critical frequency (foF2) data from several ionosondes are employed to study the long-distance effect of the M8.8 Chile Earthquake of February 27, 2010, on the F2 layer. Significant perturbations of the peak F2-layer electron density have been observed following the earthquake at two South African stations, Hermanus and Madimbo, which are located at great circle distances of ~8,000 and ~10,000 km from the earthquake epicenter, respectively. Simplified estimates demonstrate that the observed ionospheric perturbations can be caused by a long-period acoustic gravity wave produced in the F-region by the earthquake.

  • 최근 몇 년사이 CCTV에 대한 활용도와 중요성이 대두되고 있으며, CCTV의 해상도 또한 SD급 CCTV에서 HD급 CCTV로 대부분 전환되고 있는 상황이다. HD급 CCTV는 고화질, 고해상도를 제공하는 장점을 갖지만, 많은 데이터 량으로 인해 실시간 처리가 어려운 문제점 또한 포함하고 있다. 또한 CCTV는 지능형 CCTV로의 기술적인 진보를 거듭하고 있으며, 대표적인 solution으로 증강현실(AR:Augmented Reality)을 꼽을 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 HD-CCTV의 최대 장점이라고 할 수 있는 실시간 영상에 선박의 정보(AIS : Automatic Identification System)을 결합하여 실시간으로 항만을 모니터링 하는 시스템을 구현하였다. 또한 750mm Zoom Lens를 탑재한 PanTilt 장비를 이용하여 선박을 targeting 하는 시스템 또한 구현하였다. 증강현실을 이용하여 실시간 영상과 선박 정보를 결합하였으며, 이를 구현하기 위해 perspective projection 방법을 통해 3차원 공간좌표계를 2차원으로 투영하였다. 실시간 처리를 위해 입력영상을 Block으로 분할하여 목적 좌표를 검색하였으며, 선박정보의 부드러운 이동을 위해 Dead Reckon 기법과 linear prediction 방법을 이용하여 선박 위치를 예측하였다. 마지막으로 삼각측량법에 기반하여 현재 PanTilt 장비를 목적된 장소로 이동시키는 시스템을 구현하였다.

  • This paper proposes a system detecting the area of traffic sign, which uses color rate as the information of colors, and corner point and distance rate as the information of morphology. In this system, a candidate area is extracted by performing dilation operation on the binary image made by the color rate of R, G, B components and by detecting corner point and center point through mask. The area of traffic sign with varied shapes is extracted by calculating the distance rate from center point, which is the information of morphology. The results of this experiment demonstrate that in this system which is invariable regardless of its size and location, it is possible to extract the exact area from varied traffic signs such as the shapes of triangle, circle, inverse triangle, and square as well as from the images at both day and night when brightness value is greatly different. Moreover, it demonstrates great accuracy and speed in processing.

  • Digital medical image commenced with an introduction of PACS has become more popular today in the radiation diagnosis and radiation treatment and made great progress, in particular, for medical testing field, whereas it has made slow progress for radiation treatment field. In order to accommodate the current trend of digital from analog, a spherical mechanical check device(SMCD) that is the form of spherical differing from the existing form of flat or cube has been designed and tested its practicability to replace the part in mechanical check with digital image from QA operation. If the distance maintains constance between source(target) and image detector with constant distance to the center of spherical mechanical check device(SMCD), the size will be shown as a constant image at all times regardless of its direction exposed. For the test, two accurate hemispheres are made and put together which results in a sphere of the equilateral circle. It enables a variety of implementation of the existing mechanical check using digital image as follows: congruity level of radiation field and light field, size accuracy of radiation field and collimation field, gantry rotation isocenter check, collimation rotation isocenter check, room laser accuracy check, collimation rotation angle check, couch rotation angle check, and more. In addition, it has proved its practicability in checking isocenter congruity level as real time at the time of simultaneous rotation between gantry and couch that is applied to the non-coplanar field, which had been hard to apply as a device formed of existing flat or cube.

  • Since blasting noise is impact noise, it will give a sudden shock to the human. In the case, such as the blast vibration, it has given aging buildings and livestock great damage to move the vibration along ground in nearby regions. In this study, the influence of the blasting generated during excavation was analyzed for effects on regional. A couple of field and laboratory surveys about geological were carried out to figure out the geological ratio in the study-performed area. Blast vibration noise was compared to the domestic and abroad case studies and each of the institutions permissible standards established the most appropriate criteria in site condition. The vibration velocity of blasting vibration exploits the values which were measured from test blasting on the ground in order to examine blasting effect. Considering the blasting point as the shortest distance from safety facilities (farms, private houses, etc.), the examination of the influence range, which was derived from the vibration velocity of blasting vibration, was performed to figure out how the point affected the safety facilities. Three-dimensional numerical analysis was performed a time history analysis in order to analyze the behavior of the structure for a dynamic blast load, which was determined in three directions of the blast vibration value. The results of three-dimensional numerical analysis and the blasting effect of blasting vibration estimation equation blasting vibration of impact circle with accompanying test blasting were compared. And the analysis confirmed similar results figures.
