The optimal design of Water Distribution System (WDS) is used in various ways according to the purpose set by the user. The optimal design of WDS has various purposes, such as minimizing costs and minimizing energy generated when manufacturing pipes. In this study, based on the Modified Hybrid Vision Correction Algorithm (MHVCA), a cost-optimal design was conducted for various WDSs. We also propose a new evaluation index, Best Rate (BR). BR is an evaluation index developed based on the K-mean Clustering Algorithm. Through BR, a comparison was made on the possibility of searching for the optimal design of each algorithm used in the optimal design of WDS. The results of MHVCA for WDS were compared with Vision Correction Algorithm (VCA) and Hybrid Vision Correction Algorithm (HVCA). MHVCA showed a lower cost design than VCA and HVCA. In addition, MHVCA showed better probability of lower cost designs than VCA and HVCA. MHVCA will be able to show good results when applied to the optimal design of WDS for various purposes as well as the optimal design of WDS for cost minimization applied in this study.

상수관망은 많은 관을 통해 물의 수요가 있는 곳으로 물을 공급해주는 역할을 하는 사회기반 시설물이다. 상수관망 설계의 요점은 두 가지로 구분할 수 있다. 첫 번째 요점은 다양한 종류의 관배치로 인한 상수관망 설계안의 많은 경우의 수이다. 두 번째 요점은 상수관망 내 절점의 최저 요구수압 등의 제약조건이다. 두 가지 요점이 있는 상황에서 상수관망 설계비용의 최소화를 위한 상수관망 최적설계는 많은 계산이 요구된다. 많은 계산이 요구되기 때문에 상수관망 최적설계에 최적화 기법을 적용할 수 있다. 본 연구에서 상수관망 최적설계를 위해 적용된 최적화 기법은 Hybrid Rate(HR)를 개선한 Hybrid Vision Correction Algorithm(HVCA)이다. HVCA는 Vision Correction Algorithm(VCA)을 기반으로 추가적인 전역탐색을 실행하는 Centralized Global Search(CGS)의 적용 및 자가적응형 매개변수인 Hybrid Rate(HR)를 적용하여 사용성과 성능을 개량한 알고리즘이다. HVCA의 기존 HR은 선형적으로 증가하는 형태이다. 선형적으로 증가하는 HR로 인해 HVCA는 최적해 탐색과정에서 지역해에 빠지는 문제가 발생하였다. HVCA의 문제를 해결하기 위해 HR을 비선형적으로 증가하는 형태로 개량하였다. HR이 개량된 HVCA를 수자원공학 문제인 상수관망 최적설계 문제에 적용하여 결과를 비교하였다. 적용결과 HR이 개량된 HVCA가 기존의 HVCA보다 낮은 설계 비용을 나타내었다. 상수관망 최적설계 적용결과를 바탕으로 HR이 개량된 HVCA는 상수관망 최적설계 이외의 수자원공학 문제에도 적용가능할 것이다.

The optimal design for water distribution system (WDS) is not only satisfying the minimum required water pressure of the nodes, but also minimizing pipe cost, etc. The number of designs of WDS increases exponentially due to the arrangement of various pipes. Various optimization algorithms were applied to propose an optimized design of WDS. In this study, Modified Hybrid Vision Correction Algorithm (MHVCA) with improved self-adapting parameter was applied to optimal design of WDS. The performance was improved by changing the Hybrid Rate (HR) of the existing Hybrid Vision Correction Algorithm (HVCA) to nonlinear HR. To verify the performance of the proposed MHVCA, it applied to mathematical problems consisting of 2 and 30 decision variables and constrained mathematical problems. In order to review the application results of MHVCA, it was compared with Harmony Search (HS), Improved Harmony Search (IHS), Vision Correction Algorithm (VCA) and HVCA. Finally, MHVCA was applied to the optimal design problem of WDS and the results were compared with other algorithms. MHVCA showed better results than other algorithms in mathematical problems and WDS problem. MHVCA will be able to show good results by applying to various water resource engineering problems as well as problems applied in this study.

Metaheuristic search methods have been developed to solve problems with a range of purpose functions in situations lacking information and time constraints. In this study, the Hybrid Vision Correction Algorithm (HVCA), which enhances the performance of the Vision Correction Algorithm (VCA), was developed. The HVCA has applied two methods to improve the performance of VCA. The first method changes the parameters required by the user for self-adaptive parameters. The second method, the CGS structure of the Exponential Bandwidth Harmony Search With a Centralized Global Search (EBHS-CGS), was added to the HVCA. The HVCA consists of two structures: CGS and VCA. To use the two structures, a method was applied to increase the probability of selecting the structure with the optimal value as it was performed. The optimization problem was applied to determine the performance of the HVCA, and the results were compared with Harmony Search (HS), Improved Harmony Search (IHS), and VCA. The HVCA improved the number of times to find the optimal value during 100 repetitions compared to HS, IHS, and VCA. Moreover, the HVCA reduced the Number of Function Evaluations (NFEs). Therefore, the performance of the HVCA has been improved.

Recent increasing demand on the indoor localization requires more advanced and hybrid technology. This paper proposes an application of the hybrid indoor localization method based on a position-coded pattern that can be used with other existing indoor localization techniques such as vision, beacon, or landmark technique. To reduce the pattern-recognition error rate, the error detection and correction algorithm was applied based on Hamming code. The indoor localization experiments based on the proposed algorithm were performed by using a QCIF-grade CMOS sensor and a position-coded pattern with an area of $1.7{\times}1.7mm^2$. The experiments have shown that the position recognition error ratio was less than 0.9 % with 0.4 mm localization accuracy. The results suggest that the proposed method could be feasibly applied for the localization of the indoor mobile service robots.

Implementing flexible production systems in domestic and foreign automotive design parts assembly has increased demand for automation and power reduction. Consequently, transition to a hybrid production method is observed where multiple vehicles are assembled in a single assembly line. Multiple robots, 3D vision sensors, mounting positions, and correction software have complex configurations in the automotive glass mounting system. Hence, automation is required owing to significant difficulty in the assembly process of automobile parts. This study presents a primer lighting and inspection algorithm that is robust to the assembly environment of real automotive design parts using high power 'ㄷ'-shaped LED inclined lighting. Furthermore, a 2D camera was developed in the primer coating inspection system-the core technology of the glass mounting system. A primer application demo line applicable to the actual automobile production line was established using the proposed high power lighting and algorithm. Furthermore, application inspection performance was verified using this demo system. Experimental results verified that the performance of the proposed system exceeded the level required to satisfy the automobile requirements.
