The researchers have studied on the effect of three main morphological types(nuclear, cortical, and subcapsular cataract) of age related cataract on refractive error. We also identified that spherical and cylinderical shift in each type of morphological cataract accoding to their locations and effect of intraocular pressure before and after cataract surgery. Nuclear cataract showed myopic shift while cortical cataract showed hyperopic shift, and subcapsular cataract showed not significant changes on both direction. Age related cataract subjects(120 eyes) only were recruited from sun-cheon area. We use optic section of slit lamp biomicroscope to identify the anatomical location of cataract, and optimal refractive correction determined by objective(retinoscope) and subjective refraction then spherical changes were calculated from the spherical eqivalent value. Intra-ocular pressure were measured by auto-tonometer before and 7 days after cataract has been replaced by IOL. The change in cylindrical power, usually A-P diameter decreased according to increases of age, A-P diameter increased because intra-ocular pressure rises by progression of cataract and this convertion with the rule astigmatism to against the rule astigmatism and this increases more by intra-ocular pressure.

LBS(Location Based System) is the essential technology of ubiquitous market and utilizes the GNSS(Global Navigation Satellite). GNSS includes GPS of USA, Galileo of Europe Union, QZSS of Japan, Compass of China, and IRNSS of India. Related researches have recently been conducted. Once the satellite is launched, the maintenance such as modification and verification of its function is difficult. Therefore, before the launch of satellites, more precise and concrete verification of performance and operations are needed. In order to do this, hardware testbed may be developed. but software simulators can provide more flexible and cost effective simulation results. These simulators should provide the essential function handling all kinds of error features experienced upon propagation of the GNSS signal. In this paper, we present a design and implementation results of a window-based simulator applying the modeling of various error features for several GNSS.

An image processing technology was developed to measure the dimension of nuclear fuel rods and the diameter of nuclear fuel rods was measured by this method. It was confirmed that parameters such as camera-to-specimen distance. camera location, light intensity and light characteristic would affect dimension measurement of nuclear fuel rods. The percent relative error and percent standard deviation of measuring the diameter of nuclear fuel rods using image processing method were 4.88%, ${\pm}3.34%$ while the percent relative error and percent standard deviation using conventional method were 12.7%, ${\pm}9.72%$, respectively. The accuracy of diameter measurement of nuclear fuel rods using image processing method was about 3 times as high as that using conventional method.

The objective of this study was to determine the teat locations and to develop a teat cup handling system operated by a robot. The results of this study were summarized as follows: 1. The teat cup attaching and detaching operation system developed in this study consists of a control computer, a five-dimensional robot(PERFORMER-MK2), a DC servo gripper, a robot controller, two CCD-cameras (WV-vp410), an image grabber board(DT3153), a model cow, and a teat cup unit. 2. The coordinates of teat locations were measured by a stereo image processing unit. The error ranges of teats coordinates measured were (x, y, z) = (0.83, 1.95, 0.81) mm. When those were transferred into the Robot Coordinate System(RCS) coordinate, the total error ranges measured were x = 0.9 mm, y = 2.0 mm, z = 0.9 mm. 3. The rates of success of teat cup attaching and detaching operation by a robot system were 91.5% on average; the operation time needed were 27.8 sec. Total working hours for the teat cup handling including image processing were 86.1 sec.

RTLS is a system for automatically locating and tracking people and objects. The TDOA-based RTLS determines the location of the tag by calculating the time differences of a signal received from the tag. In TDOA-based RTLS, time synchronization is essential to calculate the time difference between readers. This paper presents a precision time synchronization method for TDOA-based RTLS over IEEE 802.15.4. In order to achieve precision time synchronization in IEEE 802.15.4 radio, we analyzed the error factors of delay and jitter. We also deal with the implementation of hardware assisted time stamping and the Kalman filtering method to minimize the error factors. In addition, this paper described the experiments and performance evaluation of the proposed precision time synchronization method in IEEE 802.15.4 radio. The results show that the nodes in a network can maintain their clocks to within 10 nanoseconds offset from the reference clock.

We have recently proposed the new concept of a phase-measuring volumetric interferometer that enables us to accurately measure the xyz-coordinates of the probe without metrology frames. The interferometer is composed of a movable target and a fixed photo-detector array. The target is made of point diffraction sources to emit two spherical wavefronts, whose interference is monitored by an array of photo-detectors. Phase shifting is applied to obtain the precise phase values of the photo-detectors. Then the measured phases are fitted to a geometric model of multilateration so as to determine the xyz-location of the target by minimizing least square errors. The proposed interferometer has been designed and built with a volumetric uncertainty of less than 1.0 $\mu\textrm{m}$ within a cubic working volume of side 120 mm. Here, in this paper, we also present error sources, an evaluated uncertainty, and test results from the prototype system. The self-calibration of two-dimensional precision metrology stages is applied to test the performance of the interferometer.

In this paper, we propose a novel algorithm for three dimensional positioning system and implement a system over indoor wireless channel. A commercial modules are used for mobile and fixed nodes which are product of German company Nanotron Co. This module adopts chirp spread spreading scheme as modulation method to improve the ranging resolution and the module satisfies the IEEE standard 802.15.4a. The distance computation is based on received signal strength(RSS) levels and trilateration method. A testbed was set up to measure and compare the positioning estimation error of the proposed algorithm. The experiments results showed that the accuracy of location estimation was sufficiently good as much as 1m distance error in a wireless environment in an office building.

Between 1998 and 2010, the computerization of underground facilities was completed in 84 cities. Since 2011, new pipelines have been laid or existing pipelines have been maintained, renovated, and renewed. To measure the exact location and depth of the exposure pipe, a map of underground facilities was created before filling the ground. This method is based on the time when the underground facilities of the National Geographic Information Institute Regulation No. 134 of the National Geographic Information Office revised in 2010 were drafted. The process of the drone taking the video is based on a theoretical basis of ground control points. The method works by removing all ground control points located outside of the error range and re-processing it for calculating the best result. Furthermore, using a drone-based spontaneous measuring method allows workers to obtain a high accuracy underground facilities map in error bound. The proposed method could be used as a new way to standardize the processing.

The many DE based data hiding schemes and the many data hiding schemes based on Histogram shifting are researched in spatial domain. The data hiding scheme based on Histogram shifting have an advantage of low distortion of the stego image. But the capacity is low than other schemes. On the other hands, the DE based data hiding schemes have an advantage of high capacity. But the quality of the stego image is low. In this paper, new data hiding scheme which has the similar capacity but the increased quality of the stego image is proposed. The prediction error is divided into blocks to embed the secret data in this scheme. The prediction errors in the block are scanned before the secret data is embedded. If one prediction error is low than the threshold at least, the block is changed to embed the secret data. Otherwise the secret data is not embedded. The distortion of the stego image is minimized by this method. But the block that the secret data embedded is marked in location map. So the additional information to extract the secret data and recover the cover image is needed.

This study aims to find the ways to correct and fix the errors in transcription by analyzing Romanization of Korean geographical names in foreign countries. The gazetteers from many countries, place name databases, and map-providing websites are the main source of research. Common error types found in this study are variant name posting, subordinated marking, double posting, spelling errors, and location errors. In fact, transcription of geographical names exhibits more diverse forms and types. The counter measures to fix these errors are as follows, firstly, consistent efforts with regular monitoring to fix errors are essential. Secondly, the one and only standardized Romanization principle is urgent. Thirdly, prompt update and publication in case of place name and/or boundary change is necessary. Fourthly, efforts to register unregistered geographical names are necessary. Lastly, the establishment of central agency solely for the management of geographical names is required.
