무선통신(wireless networks)과 마이크로메카트로닉스 시스템(MEMS; microelectromechanical system)의 발달로 다양한 소형 자동항법 UAV가 개발되어 다양한 목적으로 활용되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 중소규모지역에 대한 지형정보획득을 목적으로 저가의 소형 자율항법 UAV를 개발하고 사전계획된 비행 루트와 실제 비행한 경로를 비교함으로써 비행의 안정성을 평가하였다. 개발 후 비행테스트 결과, 최대항속시간은 1시간, 비행거리는 50km, 비행항로의 수평정확도는 약 ${\pm}6{\sim}8m$, 고도정확도는 약 ${\pm}8m$로 안정된 비행이 가능하였으므로 지형정보에 활용할 수 있는 고해상영상의 획득이 가능한 것으로 판단되었다. 이는 200m의 고도로 비행할 경우 $2km{\times}3km$의 지상촬영범위를 약25분 내에 촬영이 가능하다는 의미로 향후 저고도 고해상영상의 획득목적으로 활용이 기대된다.

Due to the simple vertical structure of magnetic field, pores can be exploited to study the transport of mechanical energy by waves along the magnetic field to the chromosphere and corona. For a better understanding of physics of pores, we have investigated chromospheric traveling features running across two merged pores from their centers at the speed about 55 km s-1, in the active region AR 11828. The pores were observed on 2013 August 24 by using high time, spatial, and spectral resolution data from the Fast Imaging Solar Spectrograph (FISS) of the 1.6 meter New Solar Telescope (NST). We infer a LOS velocity by applying the bisector method to the Ca II $8542{\AA}$ band and $H{\alpha}$ band, and investigate intensity and the line-of-sight velocity changes at different wavelengths and different positions at the pores. We find that they have 3 minutes oscillations, and the intensity oscillation from the line center is preceded by that from the core ($-0.3{\AA}$) of the bands. There is no phase difference between the intensity and the LOS velocity oscillations at a given wavelength. The amplitude of LOS velocity from near the core spectra is greater than that from the far core spectra. These results support the interpretation of the observed wave as a slow magnetoacoustic wave propagating along the magnetic field lines in the pores. The apparent horizontal motion and a sudden decrease of its speed beyond the pores can be explained by the projection effect caused by inclination of the magnetic field with a canopy.

Strapdown Inertial navigation systems consist of an inertial sensor assembly(ISA), electronic modules to process sensor data, and a navigation computer to calculate attitude, velocity and position. In the ISA, most gryoscopes such as RLGs and FOGs, have digital output, but typical accelerometers use current as an analog output. For a high precision inertial navigation system, sufficient stability and resolution of the accelerometer board converting the analog accelerometer output into digital data needs to be guaranteed. To achieve this precision, the asymmetric error and A/D reset scale error of the accelerometer board must be properly compensated. If the relation between the acceleration error and the errors of boards are exactly known, the compensation and estimation techniques for the errors may be well developed. However, the A/D Reset scale error consists of a pulse-train type term with a period inversely proportional to an input acceleration additional to a proportional term, which makes it difficult to estimate. In this paper, the effects on the acceleration output for auto-pilot situations and the effects of A/D reset scale errors during horizontal alignment are qualitatively analyzed. The result can be applied to the development of the real-time compensation technique for A/D reset scale error and the derivation of the design parameters for accelerometer board.

원거리에서의 획득한 영상은 해상도가 낮고 블러링과 잡음에 의한 영향이 크다. 이러한 문제점들은 얼굴 검출 과정에서 보다 많은 오류영역을 산출할 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 AdaBoost 필터와 얼굴의 색상과 외형 정보를 이용한 순차적인 검증 단계를 적용한 얼굴 검출 방법을 제안한다. AdaBoost 방법으로 검출된 오류(false alarm)는 피부색 필터와 가변 경계마스크 필터로 순차적으로 제거된다. 피부색 필터는 사각 윈도우 영역과 화소 별로 적용되는 두 단계로 구성되어 최종적으로 이진 얼굴 클러스터 영상을 구성한다. 기존의 고정된 경계마스크 필터의 단점을 해결하기 위하여 얼굴 클러스터영역에 부합하는 타원을 추정하여 경계마스크의 크기를 산출하고 가로-세로 비율의 적정성을 검토한다. 실험에서는 CCTV와 스마트 폰으로 획득한 영상을 이용하여 제안된 얼굴 검출 방법이 원거리에서 획득한 영상의 얼굴 검출에 효과적임을 보인다.

비디오 영상에 포함되어 있는 자막은 비디오의 내용을 함축적으로 표현하고 있기 때문에 비디오 색인 및 검색에 중요하게 사용될 수 시다. 본 논문에서는 뉴스 비디오로부터 폰트, 색상, 자막의 크기 등과 같은 사전 지식 없이도 자막을 효율적으로 추출하여 인식하는 방법을 제안한다. 문자 영역의 추출과정에서 문자영역은 뉴스 비디오의 여러 프레임에 걸쳐나 나오기 때문에 인길 프레임의 차영상을 통해서 동일한 자막 영역이 존재하는 프레임을 자동적으로 추출한 후, 이들의 시간적 평균영상을 만들어 인식에 사용함으로써 인식률을 향상한다. 또한, 평균 영상의 외각선 영상을 수평, 수직방향으로 투영한 값을 통해 문자 영역을 찾아 Region filling, K-means clustering을 적용하여 배경들을 완벽하게 제거함으로써 최종적인 자막 영상을 추출한다. 자막 인식과정에서는 문사 영역 추출과정에서 추출된 글자영상을 사용하여 white run, zero-one transition과 같은 비교적 간단한 특징 값을 추출하여 이를 비교함으로써 인식과정을 수행한다. 제한된 방법을 다양한 뉴스 비디오에 적용하여 문자영역 추출 능력과 인식률을 측정한 결과 우수함을 확인하였다.

Background: Acromioclavicular (AC) stability is maintained through a complex combination of soft-tissue restraints that include coracoclavicular (CC), AC ligament and overlying muscles. Among these structures, the role of the CC ligament has continued to be studied because of its importance on shoulder kinematics, especially after AC injury. This study was designed to determine the geometric change of conoid and trapezoid ligaments and resulting stresses on these ligaments according to various scapular motions. Methods: The scapuloclavicular (SC) complex was isolated from a fresh-frozen cadaver by removing all soft tissues except the AC and CC ligaments. The anatomically aligned SC complex was then scanned with a high-resolution computed tomography scanner into 0.6- mm slices. The Finite element model of the SC complex was obtained and used for calculating the stress on different parts of the CC ligaments with simulated movements of the scapula. Results: Average stress on the conoid ligament during anterior tilt, internal rotation, and scapular protraction was higher, whereas the stress on the trapezoid ligament was more prominent during posterior tilt, external rotation, and retraction. Conclusions: We conclude that CC ligament plays an integral role in regulating horizontal SC motion as well as complex motions indicated by increased stress over the ligament with an incremental scapular position change. The conoid ligament is the key structure restraining scapular protraction that might occur in high-grade AC dislocation. Hence in CC ligament reconstructions involving only single bundle, every attempt must be made to reconstruct conoid part of CC ligament as anatomically as possible.

The study of pores, small penumbraless sunspots, can give us a chance to understand how strong magnetic fields interact with convective motions in the photosphere. For a better understanding of this interaction, we investigate the temporal variation of several tiny pores smaller than 2". These pores were observed by the Solar Optical Telescope (SOT) onboard Hinode on 2006 December 29. We have analyzed the high resolution spectropolarimetric (SP) data and the G-band filtergrams taken during the observation. Magnetic flux density and Doppler velocities of the pores are estimated by applying the center of gravity (COG) method to the SP data. The horizontal motions in and around the pores are tracked by adopting the Nonlinear Affine Velocity Estimator (NAVE) method to the G-band filter images. As results, we found the followings. (1) Darkness of pores is positively correlated with magnetic flux density. (2) Downflows always exist inside and around the pores. (3) The speed of downflows inside the pores is negatively correlated with their darkness. (4) The pores are surrounded by strong downflows. (5) Brightness changes of the pores are correlated with the divergence of mass flow (correlation coefficient > 0.9). (6) The pores in the growing phase are associated with the converging flow pattern and the pores in the decay phase with the diverging flow pattern. Our results support the idea that a pore grows as magnetic flux density increases due to the convergence of ambient mass flow and it decays with the decrease of the flux density due to the diverging mass flow.

Performance of the Korea Ocean Research and Development Institute (KORDI) operational storm surge prediction system for the Korean coast is presented here. Results for storm surge hindcasts and forecasts calculations were analyzed. The KORDI storm surge system consists of two important components. The first component is atmospheric models, based on US Army Corps of Engineers (CE) wind model and the Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) model, and the second components is the KORDI-storm surge model (KORDI-S). The atmospheric inputs are calculated by the CE wind model for typhoon period and by the WRF model for non-typhoon period. The KORDI-S calculates the storm surges using the atmospheric inputs and has 3-step nesting grids with the smallest horizontal resolution of ${\sim}$300 m. The system runs twice daily for a 72-hour storm surge prediction. It successfully reproduced storm surge signals around the Korean Peninsula for a selection of four major typhoons, which recorded the maximum storm surge heights ranging from 104 to 212 cm. The operational capability of this system was tested for forecasts of Typhoon Nari in 2007 and a low-pressure event on August 27, 2009. This system responded correctly to the given typhoon information for Typhoon Nari. In particular, for the low-pressure event the system warned of storm surge occurrence approximately 68 hours ahead.

We investigated seasonal variations of the upper ocean temperature and the mixed layer depth (MLD) in an eddy-permitting global ocean general circulation model (OGCM) to assess the OGCM perfermance. The OGCM is based on the GFDL MOM3 which has a horizontal resolution of 0.5 degree and 30 vertical levels. The OGCM was integrated for 68 years using a monthly-mean climatological wind stress forcing. The model sea surface temperature (SST) and sea surface salinity were restored to the Levitus climatology with a time scale of 30 days. Annual-mean model SST shows a cold bias $(<\;-2^{\circ}C)$ in the summer hemisphere and a warm bias $(>\;1^{\circ}C)$ in the winter hemisphere mainly due to the restoring boundary condition of temperature. The model MLD captures well the observed features in most areas, with a slightly deep bias. However, in the Ross Sea and Weddell Sea, the model shows significantly deeper MLD than the climatology-mainly due to weak salinity stratifications in the model. For amplitude of seasonal variation, the model SST is smaller $(1{\sim}3^{\circ}C)$ than the observation largely due to the restoring surface boundary condition while the model MLD has larger seasonal variation $({\sim}50m)$. It is suggested that for more realistic simulation of the upper ocean structure in the present eddy-permitting ocean model, more refinements in the surface boundary condition for the thermohaline forcing and parameterization for vertical mixing are required, together with the incorporation of a sea-ice model.
