Recently, offshore structures for eco-friendly energy, such as wind and solar power, have been developed to address the problem of insufficient land space; in the case of energy generation, they are designed on a considerable scale. Therefore, the scalability of offshore structures is crucial. The Korea Research Institute of Ships & Ocean Engineering (KRISO) developed multi-linked floating offshore structures composed of floating bodies and connection beams for floating photovoltaic systems. Large-scale floating photovoltaic systems are mainly designed in a manner that expands through the connection between modules and demonstrates a difference in structural response with connection conditions. A fluid-structure coupled analysis was performed for the multi-linked floating offshore structures. First, the wave load acting on the multi-linked offshore floating structures was calculated through wave load analysis for various wave load conditions. The response amplitude operators (RAOs) for the motions and structural response of the unit structure were calculated by performing finite element analysis. The effects of connection conditions were analyzed through comparative studies of RAOs and the response's maximum magnitude and occurrence location. Hence, comparing the cases of a hinge connection affecting heave and pitch motions and a fixed connection, the maximum bending stress of the structure decreased by approximately 2.5 times, while the mooring tension increased by approximately 20%, confirmed to be the largest change in bending stress and mooring tension compared to fixed connection. Therefore, the change in structural response according to connection condition makes it possible to design a higher structural safety of the structural member through the hinge connection in the construction of a large-scale multi-linked floating offshore structure for large-scale photovoltaic systems in which some unit structures are connected. However, considering the tension of the mooring line increases, a safety evaluation of the mooring line must be performed.

The multi scale wavelet-Galerkin method implemented in an adaptive manner has an advantage of obtaining accurate solutions with a substantially reduced number of interpolation points. The method is becoming popular, but its numerical efficiency still needs improvement. The objectives of this investigation are to present a new numerical scheme to improve the performance of the multi scale adaptive wavelet-Galerkin method and to give detailed implementation procedure. Specifically, the subdomain technique suitable for multiscale methods is developed and implemented. When the standard wavelet-Galerkin method is implemented without domain subdivision, the interaction between very long scale wavelets and very short scale wavelets leads to a poorly-sparse system matrix, which considerably worsens numerical efficiency for large-sized problems. The performance of the developed strategy is checked in terms of numerical costs such as the CPU time and memory size. Since the detailed implementation procedure including preprocessing and stiffness matrix construction is given, researchers having experiences in standard finite element implementation may be able to extend the multi scale method further or utilize some features of the multiscale method in their own applications.

Complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS) technology is now facing a power scaling limit to increase integration density. Since 1970s, multi-valued logic (MVL) has been considered as promising alternative to resolve power scaling challenge for increasing information density up to peta-scale level by reducing the system complexity. Over the past several decades, however, a power-scalable and mass-producible MVL technology has been absent so that MVL circuit and system implementation have been delayed. Recently, compact MVL device researches incorporating multiple-switching characteristics in a single device such as 2D heterojunction-based negative-differential resistance (NDR)/transconductance (NDT) devices and quantum-dot/superlattices-based constant intermediate current have been actively performed. Meanwhile, wafer-scale, energy-efficient and variation-tolerant ternary-CMOS (T-CMOS) technology has been demonstrated through commercial foundry. In this review paper, an overview for MVL development history including recent studies will be presented. Then, the status and its future research direction of MVL technology will be discussed focusing on the T-CMOS technology for peta-scale information processing in semiconductor chip.

광원 자체의 밝기가 낮거나 그림자 등의 이유로 어두운 영역을 포함하는 이미지는 Retinex 기반의 영상화질 개선기법을 통해 주관적 화질을 높일 수 있다. Retinex 이론은 인간의 시각 시스템이 장면을 인식할 때 특정 위치에서의 장면의 밝기를 인식하는 것이 아니라 주변과의 상대적인 밝기를 인식하는 특징을 적용한 방법으로 크게 SSR, MSR, MSRCR의 방법으로 나눌 수 있다. 제안하는 방법은 컬러복원단계를 포함하고 있는 MSRCR에 기반한 방법으로 크게 3단계로 구성되어 있다. 첫 번째 단계에서는 기존의 MSRCR 방법을 적용하고 두 번째 단계에서 MSRCR 출력의 동적 영역을 이미지의 히스토그램분포에 따라 조정한다. 마지막 단계에서는 인간의 시각특성을 고려한 로그변환함수를 이용하여 Retinex 출력 값을 디스플레이 동적영역으로 변환한다. 실험결과 제안하는 알고리즘은 전체적으로 어두운 이미지뿐만 아니라 밝은 영역과 어두운 영역을 모두 포함하는 이미지에서도 주관적 화질을 효과적으로 증가시키는 것을 볼 수 있다. 특히 낮은 밝기를 갖는 이미지의 경우 제안한 알고리즘은 기존의 방법들 보다 높은 성능향상을 보였다.

Blur is an important type of image distortion. How to evaluate the quality of blurred image accurately and efficiently is a research hotspot in the field of image processing in recent years. Inspired by the multi-scale perceptual characteristics of the human visual system (HVS), this paper presents a no-reference image blur/sharpness assessment method based on multi-scale local features in the spatial domain. First, considering various content has different sensitivity to blur distortion, the image is divided into smooth, edge, and texture regions in blocks. Then, the Gaussian scale space of the image is constructed, and the categorized contrast features between the original image and the Gaussian scale space images are calculated to express the blur degree of different image contents. To simulate the impact of viewing distance on blur distortion, the distribution characteristics of local maximum gradient of multi-resolution images were also calculated in the spatial domain. Finally, the image blur assessment model is obtained by fusing all features and learning the mapping from features to quality scores by support vector regression (SVR). Performance of the proposed method is evaluated on four synthetically blurred databases and one real blurred database. The experimental results demonstrate that our method can produce quality scores more consistent with subjective evaluations than other methods, especially for real burred images.

기존의 수치지도 1.0에서는 가장 대축척인 1/1,000수치지도를 이용하여 1/5,000과 그 이하 소축척 수치지도를 제작하는 것이 불가능하였다. 이러한 이유로 1/1,000과 1/5,000 이하의 수치지도는 각각 다른 축척의 항공사진으로부터 제작되었다. 차세대의 수치지도는 가장 대축척인 수치지도를 기반으로 점차 소축적의 수치지도가 연속으로 연관되어져야 하며, 이것은 데이터의 공유와 일괄갱신 측면에서 매우 중요한 일이다. 수치지도 2.0이 개발된 이래 다축척 연속수치지도제작에 관한 가능성이 제기되면서 이에 대한 연구가 다시 시작되었다. 다축척 연속수치지도에서 가장 기본이 되는 것은 축척간에 연계되는 일반화 기준을 결정하는 것이며, 본 연구에서는 1/1,000 수치지도를 이용하여 1/5,000수치지도를 제작할 수 있는 일반화 기준을 정립하였다. 또한, 정립된 기준을 이용하여 자동일반화를 수행함으로서 일괄갱신에서의 활용 가능성을 모색하였다.

Many Applications of scientific research have coupled with functional data signal clustering techniques to discover novel characteristics that can be used for the diagnoses of several issues. In this article we present an interpretable multi-scale cluster hierarchy framework for clustering functional data using its multi-aspect frequency information. The suggested method focuses on how to effectively select transformed features/variables in unsupervised manner so that finally reduce the data dimension and achieve the multi-purposed clustering. Specially, we apply our suggested method to mutual fund returns and make superior-performing funds group based on different aspects such as global patterns, seasonal variations, levels of noise, and their combinations. To promise our method producing a quality cluster hierarchy, we give some empirical results under the simulation study and a set of real life data. This research will contribute to financial market analysis and flexibly fit to other research fields with clustering purposes.
