Purpose: As a preliminary study, the purpose of this study was to examine the indirect estimation of the lumbar intervertebral disc size by two anthropometric methods, in order to compare these indirect methods with the direct analysis by radiological imaging. Methods: The wrist, elbow, knee, and ankle joint (both right and left) diameters were measured in 52 volunteers, and then intervertebral disc size was calculated using two anthropometric methods (Colombini and modified Colombini). The data were analysed with independent t-test to assess clinical usefulness. Results: When using right and left joint diameter, there was no significant difference in the estimation value of the L4-5 and L5-S1 intervetebral disc sizes. However, the study has shown that male subjects have significantly larger L4-5 and L5-S1 intervertebral disc sizes, compared with those of female subjects. In addition, disc sizes calculated by Colombini's formula were significantly larger than modified Colombini's formula. Conclusion: The indirect estimation of the intervertebral disc size by anthropometric method can be considered as a clinically useful method. However, further study should be conducted to compare anthropometric values with other radiological imaging.

비모수능형회귀분석법을 이용하여 수문응답을 추정하는 방안에 대하여 연구하였다. 응답을 추정하기 위하여 평균제곱예측오차에 대한 추정량인 CL 통계량을 최소화하는 방법을 적용하였으며 가중행렬은 전통적으로 이용도는 단위행렬과 특수한 형태인 행렬인 Laplacian 행렬을 각각 이용하여 비교하였다. 또한 추정응답의 오차분산을 추정하는 방안에 대한 검토도 실행하였다. 합성자료와 실제자료에 대한 분석 결과 가중행렬과 Laplacian 행렬을 오차분산은 편기 수정된 추정치를 이용하는 것이 좋은 결과를 보여 주었다. 본 연구에서 제시된 절차 및 방법은 수문응답 분리에 있어서 안정적이고 효율적으로 적용될 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

안테나 배열을 통한 방향 탐지는 여러 분야에서 활발하게 이루어지고 있는 연구 분야이다. Beamforming, Capon's method, maximum likelihood(ML), MUSIC 등과 같은 방향 탐지 알고리즘이 대표적이다. 최근 방향 탐지 이론은 압축센싱기법을 이용하여 신호의 희소도를 이용한 방법의 연구가 수행되고 있다. 본 논문에서는 그 중 하나인 신호의 데이터 행렬을 fitting하는 L1-SVD 알고리즘의 성능을 알아보기 위해 MUSIC 알고리즘과 비교하여 장단점을 알아본다.

In this study, a lithium polymer battery (LiPB) is simply expressed by a primary RC equivalent model. The PI state observer is designed in Matlab/Simulink. The non-linear relationship with the OCV-SOC is represented to be linearized with 0.1 pu intervals by using battery parameters obtained by constant-current pulse discharge. A state equation is configured based on battery parameters. The state equation, which applied Peukert's law, can estimate SOC more accurately. SOC estimation capability was analyzed by utilizing reduced Federal Test Procedure (FTP-72) current profile and using a bi-directional DC-DC converter at temperature ($25^{\circ}C$). The PI state observer, which is designed in this study, indicated a SOC estimation error rate of ${\pm}2%$ in any of the initial SOC states. The PI state observer confirms a strong SOC estimation performance despite disturbances, such as modeling errors and noise.

A method of estimating the pose of a three-dimensional object from a set of two-dimensioal images based on parametric eigenspace method is proposed. A Gaussian blurred edge image is used as an input image instead of the original image itself as has been used previously. The set of input images is compressed using K-L transformation. By comparing the estimation errors for the original, blurred original, edge, and blurred edge images, we show that blurring with the Gaussian function and the use of edge images enhance the data compression ratio and decrease the resulting from smoothing the trajectory in the parametric eigenspace, thereby allowing better pose estimation to be achieved than that obtainable using the original images as it is. The proposed method is shown to have improved efficiency, especially in cases with occlusion, position shift, and illumination variation. The results of the pose angle estimation show that the blurred edge image has the mean absolute errors of the pose angle in the measure of 4.09 degrees less for occlusion and 3.827 degrees less for position shift than that of the original image.

This article is concerned with the algorithms for the least median of squares estimator. An algorithm based on the $L{\infty}$ .inf.-estimation procedure is proposed in an attempt to improve the optimality of the estimate. And it is shown that the proposed algorithm yields more optimal estimate than the traditional resampling algorithms. The proposed algorithm employs a linear scaling transformation at each iteration of the$L{\infty}$-algorithm to deal with its computational inefficiency problem.

$L_1$-회귀추정량이 수직이상점에 대해서는 매우 로버스트하지만 지렛점에 대해서는 전혀 로버스트하지 않다는 사실은 잘 알려져 있다. 본 논문에서는 수직이상점은 물론 지렛점에 대해서도 로버스트한 $L_1$-회귀추정을 위한 알고리즘을 제안한다. MCD 또는 MVE-추정량에 바탕을 둔 로버스트거리를 기준으로 지렛점들을 식별하고, 식별된 지렛점들의 영향력을 적절히 감소시키기 위한 가중치를 결정한다. 가중치에 의해 변환된 자료에 선형척도변환 기법에 바탕을 둔 선형계획 알고리즘을 적용함으로써 $L_1$-회귀추정량의 붕괴점을 향상시킨다. 다양한 형태와 규모의 자료에 대한 모의실험 결과, 제안된 알고리즘에 의한 $L_1$-회귀추정량의 붕괴점이 크게 향상되는 것으로 나타났다.

We compared two nondestructive methods for leaf area estimation using leaves of 16 common plant species classified into six types depending on leaf shape. Relatively good linear relationships between actual leaf area (LA) and leaf length (L), width (W), or the product of length and width (LW) were found for ordinary leaves with lanceolate, oblanceolate, linear and sagitttate shapes with entire margins, serrate margins, mixed margins with a entire form and shallow lobes, and ordinary incised margins. LA was better correlated with LW than L or W, with $R^2$ > 0.91. However, for deeply incised lobes, LA estimation using LW showed low correlation coefficient values, indicating low accuracy. On the other hand, a method using photographic paper showed a good correlation between estimates of area based on the mass of a cut-out leaf image on a photographic sheet (PW) and actual leaf area for all types of leaf shape. Thus, the PW method for LA estimation can be applied to all shapes of leaf with high accuracy. The PW method takes a little more time and has a higher cost than leaf estimation methods using LW based on leaf dimensions. These results indicate that researchers should choose their nondestructive LA estimation method according to their research goals.

Severe sediment-laden problem has been the hot issue in Korea. It was assumed that agricultural activities and landslides were the primary causes of these problems in watersheds. The USLE-based systems have been widely used in soil erosion studies. However the GIS-based USLE modeling system has limitation in USLE L factors. In this study, the SATEEC L module was developed to reflect the slope length segmentations in the fields. The SATEEC L module was applied to the study watershed to analyze the effects of using the SATEEC L module on estimated sediment. As shown in the comparisons between SATEEC estimated sediment with SWAT values, the SATEEC GA-SDR module derives the SDR with reasonably acceptable accuracies. However, it is worthy to note that the soil erosion using the SATEEC L module for the study watershed was lower than that without using the SATEEC L module by 25%, although the SATEEC estimated sediment values with and without using L module match the SWAT sediment values with similar accuracies. This is because the SATEEC GA-SDR module estimates lower SDR in case of greater soil erosion estimation without the L module and greater SDR in case of lower soil erosion estimation with the L module. This indicates that the SATEEC input parameters, especially L factor, need to be prepared with care for accurate estimation of SDR at a watershed scale and for accurate evaluation of BMPs in the watershed.

본 연구에서는 수질오염총량제의 토지계 발생부하량 산정 방식에서의 지목 단순화로 인한 불확실성을 분석하고, 23 개 중분류 토지피복도를 기존 산정방식에 적용하여 지목 확장을 할 수 있도록 개선하였으며 이를 L-THIA 모형을 이용하여 검증하였다. 진위천 유역에 대하여 지목이 단순화된 기존 방식(시나리오 1)과 23개 중분류 토지피복도를 이용한 방식(시나리 오 2)으로 산정된 TP 부하량을 비교한 결과 기존 방식의 불확실성이 높다는 것이 나타났으며, 시나리오 2에 의한 분석 결과 같은 대지 분류에 속하는 토지피복들에서 T-P 발생부하량의 편차가 3.45 kg/day~56.69 kg/day로 약 16배의 차이를 보였다. 시 나리오 2를 수질오염총량제에 적용할 수 있도록 23개 중분류 토지피복을 지적도 기반 지목으로 매칭하여 TP 발생부하량을 산정하였다(시나리오 3). 개선된 방식(시나리오 3)의 토지계 T-P 발생부하량 산정의 정확도를 검증하기 위해 L-THIA 모형의 결과와 비교하였으며 모형 예측 대비 약 10% 정도로 차이가 매우 적게 나타났다. 본 연구결과는 향후 수질오염총량제의 토 지계 발생부하량 산정의 정확도를 높이는데 있어 기초자료로 사용될 수 있을 것이라 기대된다.
