  • In this paper, we propose an optimal thresholding method for the voxel coloring in the reconstruction of a 3D shape. Our purposed method is a new approach to resolve the trade-off error of the threshold value on determining the photo-consistency in the conventional method. Optimal thresholding value is decided to compare the surface voxel of photo-consistency with inside voxel on the optic ray of the center camera. As iterating the process of the voxels, the threshold value is approached to the optimal value for the individual surface voxel. And also, graph cut method is reduced to the surface noise on eliminating neighboring voxel. To verify the proposed algorithm, we simulated in the virtual and real environment. It is advantaged to speed up and accuracy of a 3D face reconstruction by applying the methods of optimal threshold and graph cut as compare with conventional algorithms.

  • This paper is concerned with the optimal seismic design of added viscous dampers in yielding plane frames. The total added damping is minimized for allowable values of local performance indices under the excitation of an ensemble of ground motions in both regular and irregular structures. The local performance indices are taken as the maximal inter-story drift of each story and/or the normalized hysteretic energy dissipated at each of the plastic hinges. Gradients of the constraints with respect to the design variables (damping coefficients) are derived, via optimal control theory, to enable an efficient first order optimization scheme to be used for the solution of the problem. An example of a ten story three bay frame is presented. This example reveals the following 'fully stressed characteristics' of the optimal solution: damping is assigned only to stories for which the local performance index has reached the allowable value. This may enable the application of efficient and practical analysis/redesign type methods for the optimal design of viscous dampers in yielding plane frames.

  • Purpose: The purpose of this study is to propose a method to calculate the optimal preventive maintenance cycle of radar used in the aviation weapon system of ROKAF. Methods: A hybrid model is used to estimate the optimal preventive maintenance cycle in a system that can perform condition based predictive maintenance (CBPM) through continuous diagnosis. The failure data of the radars operating in the military were used to calculate the reliability. Results: According to the research results, the reliability threshold of the radar began to decrease after 5 flights, and decreased rapidly after 12 flights. Since the second check, costs have continued to decline. Conclusion: A method is proposed to determine the cycle of optimal preventive maintenance of radar within operational budget through modeling results between reliability limit and cost for radar. The results can be used to determine the optimal preventive maintenance cycle and frequency of various avionics equipment.

  • The numerical methods of finding the optimal position of optical phase conjugator (OPC) and the optimal fiber dispersions are proposed, which are able to effectively compensate overall channels in $8{\times}40$ Gbps WDM system with non zero-dispersion shifted fiber (NZ-DSF) as an optical fiber. And BER characteristics in the system with two induced optimal parameters are compared with those in the system with the currently used mid-span spectral inversion (MSSI) in order to confirm the availability of the proposed methods. It is confirmed that two optimal parameters depend on each other, but less related with the searching procedure. The methods proposed in this research will be expected to alternate with the method of making a symmetrical distribution of power and local dispersion in real optical link which is a serious problem but the condition in the case of applying the OPC into multi-channels WDM system.

  • In this paper, approximation and optimization methods are proposed for the structural performance of the composite fan blade. Using these methods, we perform the optimal design of the stacking sequence to maximize stiffnesses without changing the mass and the geometric shape of the composite fan blade. In this study, the lamination parameters are introduced to reduce the design variables and space. From the characteristics of lamination parameters, we generate response surface model having a high fitness value. Considering the requirements of the optimal stacking sequence, the multi-objective optimization problem is formulated. We apply the two-step optimization method that combines gradient-based method and genetic algorithm for efficient search of an optimal solution. Finally, the finite element analysis results of the initial and the optimized model are compared to validate the approximation and optimization methods based on the lamination parameters.

  • In this paper, the numerical methods of searching the optimal position of optical phase conjugator (OPC) and the optimal dispersion coefficients of fiber sections are proposed, which are able to effectively compensate overall channels in $8{\times}40$ Gbps WDM system with non zero - dispersion shifted fiber (NZ-DSF) as an optical fiber. And the compensation characteristics in the system with two induced optimal parameters are compared with those in the system with the currently used mid-span spectral inversion (MSSI) in order to verify the availability of the proposed methods. It is confirmed that the compensation extents of the distorted 8-channel signals are improved within 2 dB power penalty by applying the induced optimal parameters into WDM system. It is also confirmed that two optimal parameters less related with the searching procedure of these optimal values, only if these depend on each other.

  • This article investigates various transcription techniques for the Legendre pseudospectral (PS) method to compare the pros and cons of each approach. Eight combinations from four different types of collocation points and two discretization methods for dynamic constraints, which differentiate Legendre PS transcription techniques, are implemented to solve a carefully selected test set of nonlinear optimal control problems (NOCPs). The convergence property and prediction accuracy are compared to provide a useful guideline for selecting the best combination. The tested NOCPs consist of the minimum time, minimum energy, and problems with state and control constraints. Therefore, the results drawn from this comparative study apply to the solution of similar types of NOCPs and can mitigate much debate about the best combinations. Additionally, important findings from this study can be used to improve the numerical efficiency of the Legendre PS methods. Three PS applications to the aerospace engineering problems are demonstrated to prove this point.

  • In this paper, a hybridization of Evolutionary Strategy (ES) and a Two-Phase Neural Network(TPNN) is applied to the optimal environmental and economic operation. As the evolutionary computation, ES is to search for the global optimum based on natural selection and genetics but it shows a defect of reducing the convergence rate in the latter part of search, and often does not search the exact solution. Also, neural network theory as a local search technique can be used to search a more exact solution. But it also has the defect that a solution frequently sticks to the local region. So, new algorithm is presented as hybrid methods by combining merits of two methods. The hybrid algorithm has been tested on Emission Constrained Economic Dispatch (ECED) problem and Weighted Emission Economic Dispatch (WEED) problem for optimal environmental and economic operation. The result indicated that the hybrid approach can outperform the other computational efficiency and accuracy.

  • This paper proposes a method for generating a basis translation matrix between isomorphic extension fields. To generate a basis translation matrix, we need the equality correspondence of a basis between the isomorphic extension fields. Consider an extension field $F_{p^m}$ where p is characteristic. As a brute force method, when $p^m$ is small, we can check the equality correspondence by using the minimal polynomial of a basis element; however, when $p^m$ is large, it becomes too difficult. The proposed methods are based on the fact that Type I and Type II optimal normal bases (ONBs) can be easily identified in each isomorphic extension field. The proposed methods efficiently use Type I and Type II ONBs and can generate a pair of basis translation matrices within 15 ms on Pentium 4 (3.6 GHz) when $mlog_2p$ = 160.

  • In this paper, we show how to construct an optimal normal basis over finite field of high degree and compare two methods for fast operations in some finite field $GF(2^n)$. The first method is to use an optimal normal basis of $GF(2^n)$ over $GF(2)$. In case of n = st where s and t are relatively primes, the second method which regards the finite field $GF(2^n)$ as an extension field of $GF(2^s)$ and $GF(2^t)$ is to use an optimal normal basis of $GF(2^t)$ over $GF(2)$. In section 4, we tabulate implementation result of two methods.
