This paper presents an efficient implementation of the linear window operator. I derived computational primitives based upon a block state space representation. The computational primitive can be implemented as a data path for a programmable processor, which can be used for the efficient implementation of a linear window operator. A multiprocessor architecture is presented for the realtime processing of a linear window operator. The architecture is designed based upon the data partitioning technique. Performance analysis for the various block size is provided.

A new valley operator is presented for extracting sketch features which contain valleys and edges subject to local intensities. It is a very simple operator using the local probablities in a 3x3 local window. Experimental results show its excellent performance over the existing valley or edge operators.

This paper presents the development of an event-based operator model of a wheel loader for virtual V-pattern working. The objective of this study is to analyze the performance and dynamic behavior of the wheel loader for a typical V-pattern. The proposed typical V-pattern working is divided into four stages. The developed operator model is based on eight events, and the operator's inputs are occurred sequentially by event. A 3D dynamic simulation model of the wheel loader is developed and used to analyze the dynamic behavior during working, and the simulation results are compared with the experimental data of V-pattern working. The proposed 3D dynamic simulation model and operator model are constructed using MATLAB/Simulink. The proposed operator model for V-pattern working is expected to enable evaluation of the working performance and dynamic behavior of the wheel loader.

This paper presents a method to evaluate the performance of subpixel localization operators using target image data. Subpixel localization of edges is important to extract the precise shape of objects from images. In this study, each target image was designed to provide reference lines and edges to which the localization operators can be applied. We selected two types of moment-based operators: Gray-level Moment (GM) operator and Spatial Moment (SM) operator for comparison. The original edge localization operators with kernel size 5 are tested and their extended versions with kernel size 7 are also tested. Target images were collected with varying Camera-to-Object Distance (COD). From the target images, reference lines are estimated and edge profiles along the estimated reference lines are accumulated. Then, evaluation of the performance of edge localization operators was performed by comparing the locations calculated by each operator and by superimposing them on edge profiles. Also, enhancement of edge localization by increasing the kernel size was also quantified. The experimental result shows that the SM operator whose kernel size is 7 provides higher accuracy than other operators implemented in this study.

This study analyzes characteristics and applicability of genetic algorithms and genetic operators to optimize highway alignments. Genetic algorithms, one of artificial intelligence techniques, are fast and efficient search algorithms for generating, evaluation and finding optimal highway alignment alternatives. The performance of genetic algorithms as an optimal search tool highly depends on genetic operators that are designed as a problem-specific. This study adopts low mutation operators(uniform mutation operator, straight mutation operator, non-uniform mutation operator whole non-uniform mutation operator) to explore whole search spaces, and four crossover operators(simple crossover operator, two-point crossover operator, arithmetic crossover operator, heuristic crossover operator) to exploit food characteristics of the best chromosome in previous generations. A case study and a sensitivity analysis have shown that the eight problem-specific operators developed for optimizing highway alignments enhance the search performance of genetic algorithms, and find good solutions(highway alignment alternatives). It has been also found that a mixed and well-combined use of mutation and crossover operators is very important to balance between pre-matured solutions when employing more crossover operators and more computation time when adopting more mutation operators.

An instantaneous amplitude (IA) estimator using the symmetric higher order differential energy operator is proposed. The amplitude estimator and the instantaneous frequency (IF) estimator based on the symmetric higher order differential energy operator coincide with the analyzed signal in time, and they show better estimation results than the IA and IF based on the higher order differential energy operator. Various IF and IA estimators are applied to AM-FM signals for the performance comparison. Among the IF and IA estimators, the IF and IA estimators based on the symmetric higher order energy operator show the best estimation accuracy. Then, the IA and IF estimators are applied to the distorted power line signal to show their usefulness as power disturbance detectors.

We developed lead gloves that minimize radiation dose to the operator's hands during interventional radiological procedures and that do not impede the operator's surgical capabilities. Existing lead gloves can protect the operator's hands by shielding radiation, but use of such gloves may impair preception sensitivity, resulting in a reduction in the operator's surgical ability. Accordingly, in this study, we developed modified lead gloves that can reduce radiation dose while maintaining operator sensitivity during procedures by modifying the operator's main surgical finger area in existing lead gloves. To evaluate the performance of developed modified lead gloves, radiation was applied in surgical conditions without gloves and with surgical gloves, lead gloves, and modified lead gloves. The radiation dose was evaluated for each condition. When the modified lead gloves were worn, the degree of shielding was similar to when conventional lead gloves were worn. Based on these results, if the operator wears modified lead gloves during interventional radiological procedures, they will protect the hands from radiation while maintaining physical sensitivity in the hands.

The Laplacian operator is usually used as a regularization operator which may be used as any differential operator in the regularization iterative processing. In this paper, several kinds of differential operator and proposed operator as a regularization operator were compared with each other performance. For noisy gaussian-blurred images, proposed operator worked better in the edge, while in flat region the conventional operator resulted better. In regularization, smoothing the noise and restoring the edges should be considered at the same time, so the regions divided into the flat, the middle, and the detailed, which were processed in separate and compared.

When the process disturbance of nuclear power plant occurred, the operator should ensure plant safety, economy and identify the causes of disturbance. To accomplish these goals, operator should process a large amounts of information. Among these, alarms would be often in the operator's first indication of a plant state change or disturbance. To support limited information processing capability of operator, considerable works are under way to develop advanced alarm processing systems and to evaluate it. However, conventional evaluation method could provide just evaluation results but the design alternatives to enhance alarm system performance. To overcome problems associated with conventional evaluation methods of alarm system, signal detection theory(SDT) was introduced, and it was possible conclude that SDT could not only evaluate system but also suggest design alternatives for performance enhancement.

In this paper, a load balancing problem among operators is considered, when one or more machines can be assigned to an operator. The machines are grouped into two types and there are more than one machines in each group. The type of machine in which a job can be processed, is determined. However, an operator can handle both types of machine. The elementary operations of a job are classified into three classes : machine-controlled elements, operator-controlled elements and machine/operator- controlled elements. The objective is to balance the workloads among operators under the constraints of available machine-time and operator-time. A heuristic solution procedure is suggested for allocating jobs to machines and allocating machines to operators. The performance of the algorithm is evaluated with various data set.
