Cellulose diacetate (CDA) was plasticized with triacetine (TA) and epoxidized soybean oil (ESO) in a high speed mixer. Composites of plasticized CDA and zeolite were prepared by a melting process. The $T_g$ value, $106^{\circ}C$ of the plasticized CDA was confirmed by DMA analysis. The $T_g$ value of the CDA with 50% zeolite was $125^{\circ}C$. As the content of zeolite was increased from 10 to 50% the modulus of the composite was increased from 1.7to 3.6 GPa by two times over the plasticized CDA, and its tensile strength was increased to 62 MPa and then decreased down 51 MPa, and its elongation was increased to 10% and then decreased down 3.2%. In the SEM image, the compatibility between CDA and zeolite was observed. Increasing the amount of zeolite in the composites resulted in further enhancement of the $CH_3COOH$ absorption effects.

Binary connected-component labeling is widely used in the fields of the image processing and the computer vision. Many kinds of labeling techniques have been developed, and two-scan is known as the fastest method among them. Traditionally pixel-based scan masks have been used for the first stage of the two-scan. Recently, block-based labeling techniques were introduced by C. Grana et. al. and L. He et. al. They are faster than pixel-based labeling methods. In this paper, we propose a new binary connected-component labeling technique with block-based labels and a pixel-based scan mask. The experimental results with various images show that the proposed method is faster than the He's which is known as the fastest method currently. The amount of performance enhancement is averagely from 3.9% to 22.4% according to the sort of the images.

To perceive the direction and the distance of a sound, we always use a couple of information. Head Related Transfer Function (HRTF) contains the information that sound arrives from a sound source to the ears of the listener, like differences of level, phase and frequency spectrum. For a reproduction system using 2 channels, we apply HRTF to many algorithms which make 3d sound. But it causes a problem to localize a sound source around a certain places which is called the cone-of-confusion. In this paper, we proposed the new algorithm to reduce the confusion of sound image localization. The difference of frequency spectrum and psychoacoustics theory are used to boost the spectral cue among each directions. To confirm the performance of the algorithm, informal listening tests are carried out. As a result, we can make the improved 3d sound in 2 channel system based on a headphone. Also sound quality of improved 3d sound is much better than conventional methods.

This paper proposes a novel contrast enhancement method which determines the stretching ranges based on the distribution densities of segmented sub-histogram. In order to enhance the quality of image effectively, the contrast histogram is segmented into sub-histograms based on the density in each brightness region. Then the stretching range of each sub-histogram is determined by analysing its distribution density. The higher density region is extended wider than lower density region in the histogram. This method solves the over stretching problem, because it stretches using density rate of each area on the histogram. To evaluate the performance of the proposed algorithm, the experiments have been carried out on complex contrast images, and its superiority has been confirmed by comparing with the conventional methods.

Every object over $O^{\circ}K$ emits radiant energy based on its own temperature. Uncooled thermal imaging system displays the detected incident radiant energy as an image by signal processing. Recently, the uncooled thermal imaging system is applied to various areas such as medical, industrial, and military applications. Also, several researches are in progress to find new applications of the uncooled thermal imaging system. In this paper, we present effective method for controlling TEC-less detector in the uncooled thermal imaging system and also present the efficient control scheme for maximizing the accuracy of temperature measurement. The proposed scheme is to apply TEC-less and temperature detection algorithm in Uncooled thermal imaging system. In results of tests performed by using the actual chamber, we acquired images of better quality than the former system and temperature measurement accuracy was improved to less than $1^{\circ}C$.

영상수위계는 카메라에 의해서 수위표를 촬영하여 촬영된 영상을 처리하여 수위값으로 변환하여 자동적으로 수위를 측정하는 장비이다. 이 수위계는 기존 수위측정 장비인 부자식, 압력식, 기포식, 초음파식, 레이다식과는 달리 수위표를 촬영한 영상으로부터 수위를 직접 눈으로 확인할 수 있는 장점이 있다. 이로 인해 영상자료로부터 측정된 수위를 검증할 수 있어 수위측정의 정확도를 향상시킬 수 있다. 그리고 수위표 영상과 더불어 관측지점 주변의 전체 영상을 동시에 촬영하여 실시간으로 전송하기 때문에 홍수시 하천 상황에 대한 모니터링 목적으로 사용될 수 있다. 수위관측용으로 운영 중인 영상수위계의 수위측정자료를 분석한 결과, 안개가 짙게 낀 경우, 목자판이 오염된 경우, 목자판 내에 그림자가 진 경우 등에서 수면을 인식하지 못하거나 오인식이 발생하였다. 이와 같이 수위 오 결측이 발생하는 경우에 수면을 정확하게 인식할 수 있도록 수위 측정방법을 개선하였다. 영상의 분할 이진화 처리기법, 노이즈 제거 기법, 목자판 영역내의 영상농도에 대한 히스토그램을 통해서 목자판과 수면을 구분하는 기법을 영상처리방법으로 새롭게 적용하였다. 수위 오 결측이 발생하는 영상자료를 이용하여 개선된 영상처리방법의 성능을 검증한 결과, 기존 방법으로는 수면을 전혀 인식하지 못하였던 영상이 개선된 방법을 적용하면 안개가 낀 경우에 약 97%까지, 목자판이 오염된 경우에 약 89%까지, 목자판 내에 그림자가 진 경우에 약 92%까지 수면을 인식하였다. 따라서 이와 같이 개선된 방법을 적용하게 되면 영상수위계의 정확도를 향상시킬 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

Problems and improvemental measures for the historical inquiry of TV drama costumes and for the reproduction of them were investigated. For this study, the MBC historical drama 'The way of the Great King' started on march 24 in 1998 and ended on september 26 in 1998 was selected as the subject. The reasons why the drama was selected are as follows. First, the historical background was the time of King Young ＆ drama introduced various kinds of costumes Joungjo, which is the starting era of traditional costumes peculiar to Korea. Second, the based on the historical inquiry of that time. There is a limitation in the process of historical inquiry about the costumes of that time because we don't have enough research data such as relics, remains, references, literary works, pictures, etc. Although, in some cases, exact historical inquiry about the costumes were made, they could not be reproduced in the original forms due to several reasons: the absence of the materials of that time, structural changes including length and size for convenience of action, alterations of the manufacturing method for the reuse, addition of the gorgeous and various olors for the enhancement of image quality, variations in colors according to the actor's character, modulations of the structures and colors by the producer's intention, and the restraints in time and money for manufacturing. In view of these situations, it seems to be difficult for us to settle the problems occurring between the historical inquiry about the traditional costumes and the reproduction of them in drama. However, the costumes presented in historical drama have the meanings to provide informations of that time with TV audience. Therefore I think that it is necessary to narrow the gap between the historical inquiry of TV drama costumes and for the reproduction of hem, First, It should be restrained that each broadcasting stations show the costumes under the similar situations of the same age in different ways. Second, We need to unify the inquiry systems concerning historical drama costumes, In addition to this, it is also necessary for broadcasting stations to establish internet sites of traditional costumes for communication.

A ground moving target's velocity estimation algorithm applicable for a SAR-GMTI system using 2 channel displaced phase center antenna(DPCA) is proposed. In this algorithm, we assume target's across-track velocity can be estimated by along-track interferometry (ATI) and present a method to estimate target's along-track velocity. To accomplish this method, we first transform a radar-target geometry in which a moving target has zero velocity via altering a radar velocity such that target's velocity is reflected into it and next manipulate the spectral centers of the subapertures within the synthetic aperture. The validity of the proposed algorithm is demonstrated through simulation results showing the performance of the target's velocity estimation and the enhancement of reconstructed target image quality in terms of resolution and SINR.
