Visual tracking is a challenging task that needs learning an effective model to handle the changes of target appearance caused by factors such as pose variation, illumination change, occlusion and motion blur. In this paper, a novel tracking algorithm based on weighted local sub-space reconstruction error is presented. First, accounting for the appearance changes in the tracking process, a generative weight calculation method based on structural reconstruction error is proposed. Furthermore, a template update scheme of occlusion-aware is introduced, in which we reconstruct a new template instead of simply exploiting the best observation for template update. The effectiveness and feasibility of the proposed algorithm are verified by comparing it with some state-of-the-art algorithms quantitatively and qualitatively.

In this study, daily precipitation data and daily average temperature data of meteorological observatories in Daegu, Busan, Daejeon, Seoul, Mokpo, and Gwangju cities inland and offshore were analyzed by using moving average method. Were compared. Overall, summarizing changes in precipitation and temperature over the 24 seasons, precipitation and temperature in all six stations increased compared to the past 1960s. In the case of precipitation, precipitation increased at the end of July and early August, whereas precipitation in April, September and early October decreased. In the case of temperature, especially in February, the temperature increased, and in Mokpo, the temperature from August to December showed a general decline. Changes in precipitation and temperature due to seasons in the 24 seasons affect agriculture and our everyday life, and further research is needed to determine how these changes will affect agricultural water supply, crop growth and daily life. The results of this study can be useful.

We present preliminary results of our long-term (2009-2017) observing campaign using the NASA IRTF at Mauna Kea, to obtain $2-5{\mu}m$ spectroscopy of ~200 red point sources in the line of sight to the Galactic center. Point sources in our sample were selected from the mid-infrared images of the Spitzer Space telescope, and include candidate massive young stellar objects, which have previously been identified from our Spitzer/IRS spectroscopy. We show high foreground extinction of these sources from deep $3.1{\mu}m$ H2O ice and aliphatic hydrocarbon absorption features, suggesting that they are likely located in the central 300 pc region of the Galactic center. While many sources reveal photospheric $2.3{\mu}m$ gas CO absorption, few of them clearly indicate $3.54{\mu}m$ CH3OH ice absorption, possibly indicating a large dust column density intrinsic to a massive young stellar object.

Since the farside of the moon is a place to avoid artificial radio frequency interference (RFI) created by human civilization, it is a most suitable place for searching technosignature, which are signs of technological civilization in the universe, in the radio band. The RFI is a factor that makes the study of searching technosignature quite complicated because it is difficult to distinguish between technological signals produced by human and extraterrestrial civilizations. In this paper, we review why the farside of the moon is the best place to detect technosignature and also introduce radio observatories on the farside of the moon that have been proposed in radio astronomy. The SETI (Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence) project on the farside of the moon is expected to be one of the main candidates for international collaboration research topics on lunar surface observatory.

The last two decades have seen an immense growth in our understanding of the physics of the birth and evolution of our Universe. However there are still many unanswered questions, such as: what is the nature of the dark energy, which drives the acceleration of the expansion of the Universe? Is the acceleration driven by a cosmological constant, some dynamical dark energy, or a modification of the gravitational force law on large scales? The next generation of radio observatories will conduct large area radio continuum and HI intensity mapping surveys, and so will make possible new and complimentary tests of these fundamental questions. In this talk I present the design of these next generation of surveys, current forecasts for the effectiveness of these cosmological probes, and results from precursor experiments.

In this talk I will review recent progress that the SDSS-IV / eBOSS collaboration has made in constraining cosmology from the clustering of galaxies, quasars and the Lyman-alpha forest. The SDSS-IV / eBOSS collaboration has measured the baryon acoustic oscillation (BAO) and redshift space distortion (RSD) features in the correlation function in redshift bins from z~0.15 to z~2.33. These features constitute measurements of angular diameter distances, Hubble distances, and growth rate measurements. A number of consistency tests have been performed between the BAO and RSD datasets and additional cosmological datasets such as the Planck cosmic microwave background constraints, the Pantheon Type Ia supernova compilation, and the weak lensing results from the Dark Energy Survey. Taken together, these joint constraints all point to a broad consistency with the standard model of cosmology LCDM + GR, though they remain in tension with local measurements of the Hubble parameter.

동북아시아에 위치한 4개의 지자기 관측소의 3성분 지구자기장 관측 자료를 이용하여 1997년부터 2011년 동안의 지구자기장의 영년변화를 표현하는 지역화된 영년변화 모델을 제작하였다. 외핵의 움직임으로 발생되는 지구자기장은 장소와 시간에 따라 변화하며 지자기 관측소에서는 이를 시계열로 측정하게 된다. 따라서 공간적인 변화를 함께 파악하기 위해서는 이를 시공간모델로 제작하여 시간에 따른 지구자기장의 변화를 공간적으로도 표현할 수 있도록 해야 한다. 전지구 범위인 경우 관측소의 분포가 제한되어 있고 이를 공간적으로 보완하기 위해 위성 자료를 활용한다. 하지만 방대하고 복잡한 위성 자료의 처리와 세계의 모든 지자기 관측소의 자료를 활용하여 전 지구적 지구자기장의 모델을 제작하는 일은 상당한 작업과 노력을 요구한다. 또한 계속해서 들어오는 자료들을 이용하여 모델을 업데이트 하는 일 역시 같은 양의 시간과 노력을 필요로 하게 된다. 더불어, 각 관측소 자료의 오차범위와 위성 자료 처리 오차 (processing error) 역시 지역에 따라 다르게 나타남으로 이러한 오차값들이 전지구 모델의 정확도에 영향을 미칠 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 문제점을 감안하여 동북아시아 지역을 중심으로 하는 지역화된(localized) 모델링 기법을 소개하고 이를 통해 지구자기장의 영년변화 모델을 제작하는 데 적용하였다. 전 세계의 지구자기장 관측망인 INTERMAGNET에 가입된 3개의 일본 관측소와 1곳의 중국 관측소 자료를 활용하여 1997년부터 2011년까지 6개월 간격으로 지구자기장의 변화를 파악하고 이를 전지구 모델과 비교해 보았다. 또한 얻어진 모델을 이용하여 지구 내부의 원인인 지구자기장의 급작스런 변화를 일컫는 지구자기장 '급변'을 찾아보고 이에 대한 발생 시기에 대해 논의하였다.

최근 전세계적으로 지진의 발생빈도가 증가하면서 지각변동과 재해탐지에 대한 중요성이 증대되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 2011년 3월 발생한 도호쿠 지진에 의한 변위 해석과 지진 전 후 일본 지역 및 주변 유라시아, 태평양, 북아메리카 및 필리핀 지각판에 위치한 IGS 상시관측소의 GPS 관측자료를 정밀절대측위로 처리하여 상시관측소의 정밀위치해석을 통해 지진으로 인한 변위 및 지진 전 후 지각변동 특성을 파악하고자 한다. 일본 및 아시아 지역의 IGS 상시관측소를 대상으로 지진 발생 전 후의 관측자료를 정밀절대측위로 처리하여 일본 지역의 지진변위를 분석함으로써 진앙지 가장 가까운 MIZU에서 최대의 변위가 발생하였고, 진앙지와의 거리에 반비례하는 지진 영향권을 파악할 수 있었다. 또한 일본지역 주변 4개 지각판에 위치한 IGS 상시관측소의 정밀위치해석을 통해 지진 전 후 지각변동 속도의 변화를 산출하였다. 지각판 거동모델과의 비교를 통해 지진으로 인한 지각변동 변화를 분석하여 일본지역 주변의 지각변동 특성을 파악할 수 있었다. 향후, 지진예측 및 지각변동 연구를 위해 GPS를 이용한 지속적인 지각변동 모니터링이 필요하며, GPS를 이용한 지속적인 지각변동 모니터링을 통해 축적된 자료는 지각변동 및 지진예측 등 관련분야 연구와 함께 지진재해관리에 기여할 것이다.

The physical and chemical properties of prestellar cores, especially massive ones, are still far from being well understood due to the lack of a large sample. The low dust temperature (< 14 K) of Planck cold clumps makes them promising candidates for prestellar objects or for sources at the very initial stages of protostellar collapse. We have been conducting a series of observations toward Planck cold clumps (PCCs) with ground-based radio telescopes. In general, when compared with other star forming samples (e.g. infrared dark clouds), PCCs are more quiescent, suggesting that most of them may be in the earliest phase of star formation. However, some PCCs are associated with protostars and molecular outflows, indicating that not all PCCs are in a prestellar phase. We have identified hundreds of starless dense clumps from a mapping survey with the Purple Mountain Observatory (PMO) 13.7-m telescope. Follow-up observations suggest that these dense clumps are ideal targets to search for prestellar objects.

Ecosystem observatories are burgeoning globally in an endeavour to detect national and global scale trends in the state of biodiversity and ecosystems in an era of rapid environmental change. In this paper we highlight the additional importance of regional scale outcomes of such infrastructure, through an introduction to the Great Western Woodlands TERN (Terrestrial Ecosystem Research Network) SuperSite, and key findings from three gradient plot networks that are part of this infrastructure. The SuperSite was established in 2012 in the 160,000 km² Great Western Woodlands region, in a collaboration involving 12 organisations. This region is globally significant for its largely intact, diverse landscapes, including the world's largest Mediterranean-climate woodlands and highly diverse sandplain shrublands. The dominant woodland eucalypts are fire-sensitive, requiring hundreds of years to regrow after fire. Old-growth woodlands are highly valued by Indigenous and non-Indigenous communities, and managing impacts of climate change and the increasing extent of intense fires are key regional management challenges. Like other TERN SuperSites, the Great Western Woodlands TERN SuperSite includes a core eddy-covariance flux tower measuring exchanges of carbon, water and energy between the vegetation and atmosphere, along with additional environmental and biodiversity monitoring around the tower. The broader SuperSite incorporates three gradient plot networks. Two of these represent aridity gradients, in sandplains and woodlands, informing regional climate adaptation and biodiversity management by characterising biodiversity turnover along spatial climate gradients and acting as sentinels for ecosystem change over time. For example, the sandplains transect has demonstrated extremely high spatial turnover rates in plant species, that challenge traditional approaches to biodiversity conservation. The third gradient plot network represents a 400-year fire-age gradient in Eucalyptus salubris woodlands. It has enabled characterisation of post-fire recovery of vegetation, birds and invertebrates over multi-century timeframes, and provided tools that are directly informing management to reduce stand-replacing fires in eucalypt woodlands. By building regional partnerships and applying globally or nationally consistent methodologies to regional scale questions, ecological observatories have the power not only to detect national and global scale trends in biodiversity and ecosystems, but to directly inform environmental decisions that are critical at regional scales.
