This study describes measurements of fast ice recorded on May 23, 2009, in Kongsfjorden (translated as 'Kongs Fjord'), an inlet on the west coast of Spitsbergen in the Svalbard Archipelago. Seasonal fast ice is an important feature for Svalbard fjords, both in relation to their physical environment and also the local ecosystem, since it grows seaward from the coast and remains in place throughout the winter. Ice thickness, snow, ice properties, and wind speed were measured, while SAR (Synthetic Aperture Radar) data was observed simultaneously observed two times from ALOS-PALSAR (L-band). Measured ice thickness was about 25-35 cm while the thickness of ice floe broken from fast ice was measured as 10-15 cm. Average salinity was 1.9-2.0 ppt during the melting period. Polarimetric data was used to extract H/A/alpha-angle parameters of fast ice, ice floe, snow and glacier, which was classified into 18 classes based on these parameters. It was established that the area of fast ice represents surface scattering which indicates low and medium entropy surface scatters such as Bragg and random surfaces, while fast ice covered with snow belongs to a zone of low entropy surface scattering similar to snow-covered land surfaces. The results of this study will contribute to various interpretations of interrelationships between H/A/alpha parameters and the wave scattering Phenomenon of sea ice.

This study started from the concern for Bjrake Ingels, an emerging architect in the architecture circle, who is creative and popular. Recently, the architecture field provides architects with a foundation to express a process on a new form creation through various new expressive languages, design concepts, and methods. The global Danish group BIG(Bjarke Ingels Group) develops a story by their distinctive architectural language. The storytelling is being used in various fields and now the tool called 'story' is settling down as an important element in the life that human lives. Bjarke Ingels leading the group BIG aims for the form expression by the scientific analysis and adaptation after being affected by Danish regional background and OMA. It creates a form to share stories with local members by visually simplifying the region, culture, environment, social phenomenon, economy, and politics that are invisible and do not have the form in the modern society. The elements and expressive features of the space storytelling include locality, cultural, natural environment, and connectivity which are the content structure(story) that enables you to intervene in the story according to the main agent to imagine a new space. The expressive element includes the watching moving line story of the successive, hierarchical, and organic structures which are constructive elements creating various spaces through the mixture, transmutability, and relocation of the program and inducing users to the space. The space storytelling is composed of the symbolism, community, and eco-friendliness to appear diversely through BIG's case analysis. This study will have significance that it drew a method and feature looked at by many contemporary architects from the storytelling viewpoint in the form-creating process, classified the form-creating process through a new storytelling type, and showed a possibility on the development of various methodologies.

The silicide is a compound of Si with an electropositive component. Silicides are commonly used in silicon-based microelectronics to reduce resistivity of gate and local interconnect metallization. The popular silicide candidates, CoSi2 and TiSi2, have some limitations. TiSi2 showed line width dependent sheet resistance and has difficulty in transformation of the C49 phase to the low resistive C54. CoSi2 consumes more Si than TiSi2. Nickel silicide is a promising material to substitute for those silicide materials providing several advantages; low resistivity, lower Si consumption and lower formation temperature. Nickel silicide (NiSi) nanowire (NW) has features of a geometrically tiny size in terms of diameter and significantly long directional length, with an excellent electrical conductivity. According to these advantages, NiSi NWs have been applied to various nanoscale applications, such as interconnects [1,2], field emitters [3], and functional microscopy tips [4]. Beside its tiny geometric feature, NW can provide a large surface area at a fixed volume. This makes the material viable for photovoltaic architecture, allowing it to be used to enhance the light-active region [5]. Additionally, a recent report has suggested that an effective antireflection coating-layer can be made with by NiSi NW arrays [6]. A unique growth mechanism of nickel silicide (NiSi) nanowires (NWs) was thermodynamically investigated. The reaction between Ni and Si primarily determines NiSi phases according to the deposition condition. Optimum growth conditions were found at $375^{\circ}C$ leading long and high-density NiSi NWs. The ignition of NiSi NWs is determined by the grain size due to the nucleation limited silicide reaction. A successive Ni diffusion through a silicide layer was traced from a NW grown sample. Otherwise Ni-rich or Si-rich phase induces a film type growth. This work demonstrates specific existence of NiSi NW growth [7].

Purpose : Eosinophilic granuloma is a rare benign tumor that is characterized histologically by the presence of destructive granulomas containing numerous Langerhans, cells. The most common presentation of eosinophilic granuloma is a painful, immobile scalp mass in the frontal and parietal bones occurring predominantly in children and adolescents or young adults. We report a representative case of eosinophilic granuloma. Methods : A 16-year-old woman complained of an enlarging fixed scalp mass without pain and tenderness which measured $3{\times}4.5cm$ at the frontal area, which had been found incidentally 2 months before. Plain skull x-ray showed a punched-out bone lesion. Computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging showed a non-enhancing osteolytic lesion. The tumor and surrounding bony edges were completely removed via a bicoronal approach. The bony defect was reconstructed with bone cement. Results : The tumor was involved frontal bone and dura mater. We confirmed the tumor by the documentation of Birbeck's granules by electron microscopy. There is no evidence of local recurrence during postoperative 1.5 years. Conclusion : The present case shows the characteristic feature of frontal bone involvment of the eosinophilic granuloma. The prognosis of eosinophilic granuloma depend on age at diagnosis and number of bones involved. We consider that best choice of treatment for eosinophilic granuloma is surgical excision.

본 논문에서는 슈퍼픽셀과 FCM을 이용한 클러스터 초기값 설정방법과 이를 사용한 칼라영상분할을 연구한다. 클러스터링을 이용한 대표적인 칼라영상분할 방법으로 Fuzzy C-menas (FCM) 알고리즘을 많이 사용한다. FCM은 하나의 데이터가 각 클러스터에 서로 다른 소속도를 갖도록 한다. 그러나 FCM은 초기값 설정에 따라 국부적인 수렴문제가 발생한다. 따라서 초기값 설정문제는 매우 중요한데 본 연구에서는 슈퍼픽셀을 이용하여 클러스터의 초기값을 구하는 방법을 제안한다. 슈퍼픽셀은 원 영상에서 특성이 비슷한 화소들의 묶음으로 표현되는데 먼저 원 영상으로부터 슈퍼픽셀을 구하고 이를 $La^*b^*$ 칼라특징공간에 투영하여 클러스터 초기값을 구한다. 제안방법에서 슈퍼픽셀의 수는 원영상의 화소 수보다 일반적으로 매우 적어서 클러스터 초기값 설정을 위한 고속처리가 가능하다. 제안된 알고리즘의 성능평가를 위해 다양한 칼라영상을 사용하여 컴퓨터 모의실험을 수행하였으며 실험결과 제안방법이 기존방법에 비해 영상분할 성능이 우수함을 알 수 있었다.

얼굴 영역의 정확한 위치를 정확히 찾는 것은 얼굴 인식을 위한 핵심적인 전처리 과정이다. 본 논문에서는 조명조건, 표정, 배경의 변화에 무관하게 얼굴의 구성요소를 검출할 수 있는 강건한 기법을 제안한다. 수평 방향의 상대적으로 어두운 화소값을 갖는 눈썹, 눈, 입 둥과 같은 독립된 얼굴 요소를 검출하기 위해 형상 분해 국부 최적 임계치 기법을 적용하며 얼굴을 구성하는 간단한 기하학적 조건을 만족하는 얼굴 요소의 그룹을 검색함으로써 순수 얼굴영역을 검출한다. AR-face 데이타베이스의 영상에 적용한 결과, 두꺼운 안경테에 의해 눈썹이 가리워진 특수한 경우를 제외한 거의 모든 영상에 대해 정확한 얼굴 영역을 검출할 수 있었고, 얼굴의 대칭성을 이용해 회전과 이동 변화를 보상할 수 있으므로 강건한 얼굴 인식의 전처리 과정으로 사용할 수 있다.

다수의 지역 특징들을 취합하여 하나의 벡터로 표현하는 것은 이미지 검색의 핵심 기술이다. 이 과정에서 경사도 기반 특징에 비해 수십 배 빠르게 추출되는 2진 특징이 활용된다면 이미지 검색의 고속화가 가능하다. 이를 위해서는 2진 특징들을 군집하여 2진 시각 단어를 생성하는 기법에 대한 연구가 선행되어야 한다. 기존의 경사도 기반 특징들을 군집하는 전통적인 방식으로는 2진 특징들을 군집할 수 없기 때문이다. 이를 위해 본 논문은 2진 특징들을 군집하여 2진 시각 단어를 생성하는 기법들에 대해 연구한다. 실험을 통해 2진 특징의 활용이 이미지 검색에 미치는 정확도와 연산효율 사이의 상충관계에 대해 분석한 후, 제안한 기법들을 비교한다. 본 연구는 고속 이미지 검색을 필요로 하는 모바일 응용, 리얼 타임 응용, 웹 스케일 응용 등에 활용될 것으로 기대된다.

To adjust the discrepancy between Light Detection and Ranging (LIDAR) strips, previous researches generally have been conducted using conjugate features, which are called feature-based approaches. However, irrespective of the type of features used, the adjustment process relies upon the existence of suitable conjugate features within the overlapping area and the ability of employed methods to detect and extract the features. These limitations make the process complex and sometimes limit the applicability of developed methodologies because of a lack of suitable features in overlapping areas. To address these drawbacks, this paper presents a methodology using area-based algorithms. This approach is based on the scheme that discrepancies make complex the local height variations of LIDAR data whithin overlapping area. This scheme can be helpful to determine an appropriate transformation for adjustment in the way that minimizes the geographical complexity. During the process, the contour tree (CT) was used to represent the geological characteristics of LIDAR points in overlapping area and the Iterative Closest Points (ICP) algorithm was applied to automatically determine parameters of transformation. After transformation, discrepancies were measured again and the results were evaluated statistically. This research provides a robust methodology without restrictions involved in methods that employ conjugate features. Our method also makes the overall adjustment process generally applicable and automated.

The position of autonomous driving vehicle is basically acquired through the global positioning system (GPS). However, GPS signals cannot be received in tunnels. Due to this limitation, localization of autonomous driving vehicles can be made through sensors mounted on them. In particular, a 3D Light Detection and Ranging (LIDAR) system is used for longitudinal position error correction. Few feature points and structures that can be used for localization of vehicles are available in tunnels. Since lanes in the road are normally marked by solid line, it cannot be used to recognize a longitudinal position. In addition, only a small number of structures that are separated from the tunnel walls such as sign boards or jet fans are available. Thus, it is necessary to extract usable information from tunnels to recognize a longitudinal position. In this paper, fire hydrants and evacuation guide lights attached at both sides of tunnel walls were used to recognize a longitudinal position. These structures have highly distinctive reflectivity from the surrounding walls, which can be distinguished using LIDAR reflectivity data. Furthermore, reflectivity information of tunnel walls was fused with the road surface reflectivity map to generate a synthetic reflectivity map. When the synthetic reflectivity map was used, localization of vehicles was able through correlation matching with the local maps generated from the current LIDAR data. The experiments were conducted at an expressway including Maseong Tunnel (approximately 1.5 km long). The experiment results showed that the root mean square (RMS) position errors in lateral and longitudinal directions were 0.19 m and 0.35 m, respectively, exhibiting precise localization accuracy.
