다중센서 위성영상 간 통합 분석 및 융합과 관련된 연구가 활발히 진행되고 있다. 이를 위해서는 다중센서 영상 간 정합이 선행되어야 한다. 대표적인 정합 기법으로는 SIFT (Scale Invariant Feature Transform)와 같은 알고리즘이 존재한다. 그러나, 광학영상과 SAR (Synthetic Aperture Radar)영상은 취득 시 센서 자세와 방사 특성의 상이함으로 영상 간 분광적인 특성이 비선형성을 이뤄 기존 기법을 적용하기에 어렵다. 이를 해결하기 위해, 본 연구에서는 특징기반 정합기법인 SAR-SIFT (Scale Invariant Feature Transform)와 형상 서술자 벡터 DLSS (Dense Local Self-Similarity)를 결합하여 개선된 영상 정합기법을 제안하였다. 본 실험 지역은 대전 일대에서 촬영된 KOMPSAT-2 영상과 Cosmo-SkyMed 영상을 이용하여 실험하였다. 제안 기법을 비교평가하기 위해 특징점 및 정합쌍 추출에 대해 대표적인 기존 기법인 SIFT와 SAR-SIFT를 이용하였다. 실험 결과를 통해 제안 기법은 기존 기법들과 다르게 두 실험 지역에서 참정합쌍을 추출하였다. 또한 추출된 정합쌍을 통한 정합 결과 정성적으로 우수하게 정합되었으며, 정량적으로도 두 실험 지역에서 각각 RMSE (Root Mean Square Error) 1.66 m, 2.65 m로 우수한 정합 결과를 보였다.

The feasibility of NIR spectroscopy as a quick and nondestructive method for quality control of uniformity of coating thickness of pharmaceutical tablets was investigated. Near infrared spectra of a set of pharmaceutical tablets with varying coating thickness were measured with a diffuse reflectance fiber optic probe connected to a Broker IFS 28/N FT-NIR spectrometer. The challenging issues encountered in this study included: 1. The similarity of the formulation of the core and coating materials, 2. The lack of sufficient calibration samples and 3. The non-linear relationship between the NIR spectral intensity and coating: thickness. A peak at 7184 $cm^{-1}$ was identified that differed for the coating material and the core material when M spectra were collected at 2 $cm^{-1}$ resolution (0.4 nm at 7184 $cm^{-1}$). The study showed that the coating thickness can be analyzed by polynomial fitting of the peak area of the selected peak, while least squares calibration of the same data failed due to the lack of availability of sufficient calibration samples. Samples of coal powder and solid pieces of coal were analyzed by FT-NIR diffuse reflectance spectroscopy with the goal of predicting their ash content, percentage of volatile components, and energy content. The measurements were performed on a Broker Vector 22N spectrometer with a fiber optic probe. A partial least squares model was constructed for each of the parameters of interest for solid and powdered sample forms separately. Calibration models varied in size from 4 to 10 PLS ranks. Correlation coefficients for these models ranged from 86.6 to 95.0%, with root-mean-square errors of cross validation comparable to the corresponding reference measurement methods. The use of FT-NIR diffuse reflectance measurement techniques was found to be a significant improvement over existing measurement methodologies in terms of speed and ease of use, while maintaining the desired accuracy for all parameters and sample forms.(Figure Omitted).

The aim of this paper is to present the methodology for hand tracking and hand gesture recognition. The detected hand and gesture can be used to implement the non-contact mouse. We had developed a MP3 player using this technology controlling the computer instead of mouse. In this algorithm, we first do a pre-processing to every frame which including lighting compensation and background filtration to reducing the adverse impact on correctness of hand tracking and hand gesture recognition. Secondly, YCbCr skin-color likelihood algorithm is used to detecting the hand area. Then, we used Continuously Adaptive Mean Shift (CAMSHIFT) algorithm to tracking hand. As the formula-based region of interest is square, the hand is closer to rectangular. We have improved the formula of the search window to get a much suitable search window for hand. And then, Support Vector Machines (SVM) algorithm is used for hand gesture recognition. For training the system, we collected 1500 hand gesture pictures of 5 hand gestures. Finally we have performed extensive experiment on a Windows XP system to evaluate the efficiency of the proposed scheme. The hand tracking correct rate is 96% and the hand gestures average correct rate is 95%.

선택적 중계 기법은 수신 복잡도가 낮으면서도 선택 다이버시티로 인하여 성능 향상을 도모할 수 있는 협력 통신 시스템의 전송 기법 중 하나이다. 본 논문에서는 이 시스템의 오차 확률을 최소화 할 수 있는 선형 전처리 기술을 다룬다. 전 채널 상태 정보가 모든 단말에서 이용 가능하다는 가정 하에, 수신 신호의 평균 제곱 오차를 최소화하기 위한 송신 및 중계 전처리 필터를 제안한다. 중계 전송을 위한 최적의 송신 및 중계 전처리 필터는 수식적으로 표현하기 어렵고 반복 연산을 요구하므로 이를 단순화한 기법을 적용한다. 게다가, 고정된 신호 대 잡음비의 임계치를 사용하는 기존의 선택적 중계 기법과 달리 직접 경로와 중계 경로에서의 신호 검출 후 최소 신호 대 잡음비를 비교하여 더 큰 값을 갖는 경로를 전송 경로로 선택하는 기법을 소개한다. 모의실험을 통하여 제안한 선택 중계 기법이 기존의 중계 기법 및 선택적 중계 기법보다 우수한 성능을 보임을 확인할 수 있다.

Hindi is the most widely spoken language in India, with more than 300 million speakers. As there is no separation between the characters of texts written in Hindi as there is in English, the Optical Character Recognition (OCR) systems developed for the Hindi language carry a very poor recognition rate. In this paper we propose an OCR for printed Hindi text in Devanagari script, using Artificial Neural Network (ANN), which improves its efficiency. One of the major reasons for the poor recognition rate is error in character segmentation. The presence of touching characters in the scanned documents further complicates the segmentation process, creating a major problem when designing an effective character segmentation technique. Preprocessing, character segmentation, feature extraction, and finally, classification and recognition are the major steps which are followed by a general OCR. The preprocessing tasks considered in the paper are conversion of gray scaled images to binary images, image rectification, and segmentation of the document's textual contents into paragraphs, lines, words, and then at the level of basic symbols. The basic symbols, obtained as the fundamental unit from the segmentation process, are recognized by the neural classifier. In this work, three feature extraction techniques-: histogram of projection based on mean distance, histogram of projection based on pixel value, and vertical zero crossing, have been used to improve the rate of recognition. These feature extraction techniques are powerful enough to extract features of even distorted characters/symbols. For development of the neural classifier, a back-propagation neural network with two hidden layers is used. The classifier is trained and tested for printed Hindi texts. A performance of approximately 90% correct recognition rate is achieved.

Missing observations are common in medical research and health survey research. Several statistical methods to handle the missing data problem have been proposed. The EM algorithm (Expectation-Maximization algorithm) is one of the ways of efficiently handling the missing data problem based on sufficient statistics. In this paper, we developed statistical models and methods for survey data with multivariate missing observations. Especially, we adopted the EM algorithm to handle the multivariate missing observations. We assume that the multivariate observations follow a multivariate normal distribution, where the mean vector and the covariance matrix are primarily of interest. We applied the proposed statistical method to analyze data from a health survey. The data set we used came from a physician survey on Resource-Based Relative Value Scale(RBRVS). In addition to the EM algorithm, we applied the complete case analysis, which uses only completely observed cases, and the available case analysis, which utilizes all available information. The residual and normal probability plots were evaluated to access the assumption of normality. We found that the residual sum of squares from the EM algorithm was smaller than those of the complete-case and the available-case analyses.

Structural design has an imperative role in deciding the failure possibility of a Reinforced Concrete (RC) structure. Recent research works achieved the goal of predicting the structural failure of the RC structure with the assistance of machine learning techniques. Previously, the Artificial Neural Network (ANN) has been trained supported by Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) to classify RC structures with reasonable accuracy. Though, keeping in mind the sensitivity in predicting the structural failure, more accurate models are still absent in the context of Machine Learning. Since the efficiency of multi-objective optimization over single objective optimization techniques is well established. Thus, the motivation of the current work is to employ a Multi-objective Genetic Algorithm (MOGA) to train the Neural Network (NN) based model. In the present work, the NN has been trained with MOGA to minimize the Root Mean Squared Error (RMSE) and Maximum Error (ME) toward optimizing the weight vector of the NN. The model has been tested by using a dataset consisting of 150 RC structure buildings. The proposed NN-MOGA based model has been compared with Multi-layer perceptron-feed-forward network (MLP-FFN) and NN-PSO based models in terms of several performance metrics. Experimental results suggested that the NN-MOGA has outperformed other existing well known classifiers with a reasonable improvement over them. Meanwhile, the proposed NN-MOGA achieved the superior accuracy of 93.33% and F-measure of 94.44%, which is superior to the other classifiers in the present study.

본 논문에서는 주성분 해석 기법에 기반한 새로운 벡터 양자화 코드북 설계 방법을 제안한다. 주성분 해석 알고리즘은 입력 영상벡터를 더 작은 차원의 특징 벡터로 변환시키는데 사용되며, 변환된 영역에서 특징 벡터의 군집을 최적으로 결정된 분할 초평면을 이용하여 두 군집으로 분할하는 과정을 반복 함으로써 코드북을 생성한다. 본 논문에서는 연산 시간이 오래 걸리는 최적 분할 초평면 탐색을 (1) 분할 초평면은 특징 벡터의 주축에 수직이며, (2) 좌우측 부군집의 오차의 균형점과 일치하며, (3) 좌우측 부군집의 오차를 점진적으로 조정함으로서 연산 수행 시간을 크게 단축시켰다. 제안한 주축 연속 분할은 분할전후의 오차의 감축이 가장 큰 군집에 대해, 전체 군집의 오차가 설정한 수준보다 작을 때까지 연속적으로 수행된다. 실험 결과 제안한 주성분 해석 기반 벡터 양자화 방법은 SOFM을 이용한 방법보다 수행시간이 빠르며 K-mean 알고리즘을 이용한 방법보다 복원 성능이 뛰어남을 볼 수 있다.

Background: Tumor necrosis factor (TNF) related apoptosis-inducing ligand (TRAIL) is an antitumor candidate in cancer therapy. This study focused on effects of TRAIL, as a proapototic ligand that causes apoptosis, in B-CELL chronic lymphocytic leukemia cells (B-CLL). Materials and Methods: A population of HEK 293 cells was transducted by lentivirus that these achieved ability for producing the TRAIL protein and then HEK 293 cells transducted were placed in the vicinity of CLL cells. After 24 hours of co-culture, apoptosis of CLL cells was assessed by annexin V staining. Results: The amount of Apoptosis was examined separately in four groups: 293 HEK TRAIL ($16.17{\pm}1.04%$); 293 HEK GFP ($2.7{\pm}0.57%$); WT 293 HEK ($2{\pm}2.6%$); and CLL cells ($0.01{\pm}0.01%$). Among the groups studied, the maximum amount of apoptosis was in the group that the vector encoding TRAIL was transducted. In this group, the mean level of soluble TRAIL in the culture medium was 253pg/ml; also flow cytometry analyzes showed that proapotosis in this group was $32.8{\pm}1.6%$, which was higher than the other groups. Conclusions: In this study, we have demonstrated that TNF secreted from HEK 293 cells are effective in death of CLL cells.
