This paper investigates the response of nonstructural components in the presence of nonlinear behavior of the primary structure considering the near-fault pulse-like ground motions. A database of 81 near-fault pulse-like ground motions is used to examine the effect of these ground motions on the response of nonstructural components. For comparison, a database of 573 non-pulse-like ground motions selected from the PEER database is also employed. The effects of peak ground velocity (PGV), maximum incremental velocity (MIV), primary structural degrading behavior and damping of nonstructural components are evaluated and discussed statistically. Results are presented in terms of amplification factor which quantifies the effect of inelastic deformations of the primary structure on subsystem responses. The results indicate that the near-fault pulse-like ground motions can significantly increase the amplification factors of nonstructural components with primary structural period and the magnitude of increase can reach 17%. The effect of PGV and MIV on amplification factors tends to increase with the increase of primary structural ductility. The near-fault pulse-like ground motions are more dangerous to components supported by structures with strength and stiffness degrading behavior than ordinary ground motions. A new simplified formulation is proposed for the application of amplification factors for design of nonstructural components for near-fault pulse-like ground motions.

최근 디바이스와 5G 통신의 비약적인 발전을 통해 가상/증강 현실 분야, 자율 주행 등 3차원 그래픽스 기술에 대한 연구가 활발하게 진행되고 있으며, 3차원 정보를 면밀하게 표현할 수 있는 포인트 클라우드와 다시점 초실감 콘텐츠가 주목받고 있다. 이와 같은 콘텐츠는 전통적인 2D 비디오 대비 많은 데이터를 사용하고 있기에, 효율적 사용을 위해서는 압축이 필수적으로 요구된다. 이에 따라 국제표준화기구인 ISO/IEC 산하 Moving Picture Expert Group(MPEG)에서는 고밀도 포인트 클라우드 및 초다시점 실감형 콘텐츠에 대한 압축 방안으로 V-PCC(Video based Point Cloud Compression) 및 MIV(MPEG Immersive Video) 기술을 표준화 중에 있으며, 또한, 압축된 데이터를 효율적으로 저장, 전송하기 위한 방안으로 Carriage of Visual Volumetric Video Coding(V3C) 표준화가 진행중에 있다. 본 고에서는 MPEG에서 진행중인 V3C 표준 기술에 대하여 살펴보고자 한다.

MPEG 비디오 그룹은 제한된 3D 공간 내에서 움직임 시차(motion parallax)를 제공하면서 원하는 시점(view)을 렌더링(rendering)하기 위한 표준으로 TMIV(Test Model for Immersive Video)라는 테스트 모델과 함께 효율적인 몰입형 비디오의 부호화를 위한 MIV(MPEG Immersive Video) 표준을 개발하고 있다. 몰입감 있는 시각적 경험을 제공하기 위해서는 많은 수의 시점 비디오가 필요하기 때문에 방대한 양의 비디오를 고효율로 압축하는 것이 불가피하다. TMIV 는 여러 개의 입력 시점 비디오를 소수의 아틀라스(atlas) 비디오로 변환하여 부호화되는 화소수를 줄이게 된다. 아틀라스는 선택된 소수의 기본 시점(basic view) 비디오와 기본 시점으로부터 합성할 수 없는 나머지 추가 시점(additional view) 비디오의 영역들을 패치(patch)로 만들어 패킹(packing)한 비디오이다. 본 논문에서는 아틀라스 비디오의 보다 효율적인 부호화를 위해서 패치 내에 생기는 작은 홀(hole)들을 채우는 기법을 제안한다. 제안기법은 기존 TMIV8.0 에 비해 1.2%의 BD-rate 이 향상된 성능을 보인다.

This paper presents a scheme to downscale the patches in geometry atlas based upon its contents for MPEG Immersive Video (MIV). In proposed scheme, the geometric contents of a patch is analyzed across the intra period, and a decision is made, whether to downscale a patch or not. The patches containing homogeneous information is downscaled by half, while the patches having salient information about the object such as edges are retained. Experimental results show that the bitrate saving is achieved by incorporating the patch level downscaling.

MPEG Immersive Video (MIV) 표준화 기술은 다시점 영상 부호화 시 비디오 코덱의 부담을 최소화하기 위해 각 시점 영상의 차분 정보만을 표현하는 처리 기술을 바탕으로 하고 있다. 본 논문에서는 시점 간 중복성 제거를 진행하는 과정인 프루닝(pruning) 과정에서 복잡도 절감을 위해 병렬처리에 용이하도록 구성되는 프루닝 클러스터 그래프에 대해 서술하고, 각 클러스터 그래프 별 구성 전략에 따른 성능 분석을 진행한다. 클러스터 그래프 내에서 중복성 제거를 진행하지 않고 완전한 정보를 보존하는 바탕 시점(basic view)의 개수가 적게 포함될수록 처리할 전체 픽셀 화소율(pixel rate)은 감소하지만, 복원 화질 역시 감소하며 프루닝 복잡도는 증가하는 경향을 보인다. 실험 결과를 통해 프루닝 클러스터 그래프 구성에 따른 트레이드오프를 탐색하고, 최적화된 그래프 구성 전략에 따라 몰입형 비디오의 효율적인 전송이 가능함을 보인다.

To understand the floristic composition, vegetation structure, and population dynamics of Koelreuteria paniculata communities, which are native to Daegu, South Korea, a field survey was conducted in July 2018 using phytosociological and complete enumeration methods. Based on information on vegetation and trees of >5 cm diameter at breast height collected during the field survey, we classified the community types by species composition and analyzed their vegetation strata, relative importance value (MIV), life forms, species diversity, and population structure. The community was divided into the following three types: Ulmus parvifolia-Vitex negundo var. incisa subcommunity, Securinega suffruticosa subcommunity, and Clematis apiifolia community. The vegetation unit system was organized into one community group, two communities, and two subcommunities. Vegetation coverage of the tree layer was >85%, while the herbaceous layer was <10%. MIV of K. paniculata appeared to be extremely high within all vegetation strata, with 94.3 of the tree layer, 81.6 of the subtree layer, 75.5 of the shrub layer, and 60.0 of the herbaceous layer. The species diversity (H') was significantly different among the community types, and the C. apiifolia community (2.062) was approximately four times higher than the S. suffruticosa subcommunity (0.547). The overall representative life form types were "$MM-R_5-D_4{\cdot}D_2-e$,", but there were some differences in the disseminule form among the community types. The population structure of K. paniculata showed the reverse J-shaped distribution with a high density of young individuals and low density of larger individuals among all three community types, and because no plant species within the lower vegetation could replace K. paniculata, it was considered to be a sustainable population.

This study analyzed greenspace structure focused on greenspace areas and vegetation structure for Yanggu, investigated resident attitudes to the greenspace, and explored strategies to improve greenspace functions in a rural region. Woody plant cover was approximately 29% for parks and only 3% for commercial gardens. The amount of planting for Yanggu was poor, as compared with the results of similar studies for urban areas. Trees, of which dbh was below 20cm, accounted for 91% of all trees and the tree-age structure was largely characterized by a young, growing tree population. Based on the analysis of mean importance values (MIV) of woody plant species, only a few were different in dominant species from urban areas. Four species among 10 species with highest MIV in Yanggu were very common species also ranked among 10 in cities. The most dominant species planted in residential and commercial gardens were practical plants such as fruit or edibles. Greenspace covered about 69% of parks, 39% of residential gardens, 37% of institutional gardens, 24% of streets, and 15% of commercial gardens, respectively. Tree planting potential revealed that present woody plant cover can be increased additionally by 6 times in the streets and by 2 times in the residential and commercial gardens. Based on the results of greenspace structure, planting patterns, and questionary investigation, some strategies were suggested to enlarge greenspace including its environmental functions. They included identifying each street section through setting up themes and planting appropriate species, creating multilayered vegetation structures, and promoting planting in bare grounds of gardens and around a buildings for saving energy.

The aim of this study is to provide empirical evaluation of the accuracy of data-model fit using growing levels of invariance models. Overall model accuracy of factor solutions was evaluated by the examination of the order for testing three levels of measurement invariance (MIV) starting with configural invariance (model 0). Model testing was evaluated by the Chi-square difference test (∆𝛘²) between two groups, and root mean square error of approximation (RMSEA), comparative fit index (CFI), and Tucker-Lewis index (TLI) were used to evaluate the all-model fits. Factorial invariance result revealed that stability of the models was varying over increasing levels of measurement as a function of variable-to-factor ratio (VTF), subject-to-variable ratio (STV), and their interactions. There were invariant factor loadings and invariant intercepts among the groups indicating that measurement invariance was achieved. For VTF ratio (3:1, 6:1, and 9:1), the models started to show accuracy over levels of measurement when STV ratio was 6:1. Yet, the frequency of stability models over 1000 replications increased (from 69% to 89%) as STV ratio increased. The models showed more accuracy at or above 39:1 STV.

three degree of freedom (3DoF), three degree of freedom plus (3DoF+), six degree of freedom(6DoF) 등 몰입형 비디오의 높은 몰입감을 제공하기 위해 다중 비디오 영상을 효율적으로 처리하는 기법이 활발히 연구되고 있다. 이를 위해 원본의 몰입형 비디오가 입력되면 기본 시점 영상과 추가 시점 영상에서의 중복을 제거하고 기본 시점(basic view)에서는 보이지 않지만 추가 시점(additional view)에서는 보이는 영역을 추출하는 프루닝 과정이 이뤄지는 부호기에서의 부호화 모드 결정은 매우 중요하다. 본 논문은 test model for immersive video (TMIV)의 모드 중 하나인 MPEG immersive video (MIV) view mode 를 통해 만들어진 프루닝 (pruning) 그래프에서 선택된 시점들을 활용하여 뷰 간 중복성을 제거할 수 있는 효율적인 부호화 구조로 클러스터를 기반으로 병렬적으로 부호화하는 클러스터 기반 정렬 기법을 제안한다. 선택된 시점들을 인덱스 순서에 따라 부호화하는 기존 방법에 비해 제안하는 방법은 peak signal-to-noise ratio (Y-PSNR)에서 평균 3.9%의 BD-rate 절감을 보여주었다. 본 연구는 또한 더 객관적인 품질 측정을 위해 immersive video peak signal-to-noise ratio (IV-PSNR)에 의한 비교 결과도 함께 제공하며, 참조 순서에 맞게 정렬한 프루닝 기반 정렬 기법과의 비교도 함께 제공한다.
