Measurement of elastic constants is crucial for engineering aspects of predicting the behavior of materials under load as well as structural health monitoring of material degradation. Ultrasonic velocity measurement for material properties has been broadly used as a nondestructive evaluation method for material characterization. In particular, pulse-echo method has been extensively utilized as it is not only simple but also effective when only one side of the inspected objects is accessible. However, the conventional technique in this approach measures longitudinal and shear waves individually to obtain their velocities. This produces a set of two data for each measurement. This paper proposes a simultaneous sensing system of longitudinal waves and shear waves for elastic constant measurement. The proposed system senses both these waves simultaneously as a single overlapped signal, which is then analyzed to calculate both the ultrasonic velocities for obtaining elastic constants. Therefore, this system requires just half the number of data to obtain elastic constants compared to the conventional individual measurement. The results of the proposed simultaneous measurement had smaller standard deviations than those in the individual measurement. These results validate that the proposed approach improves the efficiency and reliability of ultrasonic elastic constant measurement by reducing the complexity of the measurement system, its operating procedures, and the number of data.

본 논문에서는 2차원 영상의 객체분할 방법으로 잘 알려져 있는 Snake 알고리즘을 스테레오 영상(Stereo Image)에 적용할 수 있는 새로운 알고리즘을 제안한다. 기존의 2차원 단일영상에 적용한 Snake 알고리즘은 만족한 결과를 얻기 위해선 분할하려는 객체의 주변 배경이 단순하고, 다른 객체들과 중첩되어 있지 않으며, 초기 Snake 포인트를 객체의 윤곽(Boundary) 가까이에 사용자가 설정해야 하는 문제점이 있다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 문제점을 해결하기 위해 스테레오 영상에서 얻을 수 있는 변이정보(Disparity Iformation)를 이용하여 변이공간(Disparity Space)에서 새로운 Snake 에너지 함수를 정의하였으며, 정의한 에너지 함수를 사용하여 스테레오 영상에 적용할 수 있는 새로운 객체 분할 알고리즘을 제안하였다. 제안한 알고리즘은 복잡도가 다양한 실험영상에 적용하여 성능을 분석하였다.

We propose a moving object extraction and tracking method for improvement of animal identification and tracking technology. First, we propose a method of merging separated moving objects into a moving object by using FCM (Fuzzy C-Means) clustering algorithm to solve the problem of moving object loss caused by moving object extraction process. In addition, we propose a method of extracting data from a moving object and a method of counting moving objects to determine the number of clusters in order to satisfy the conditions for performing FCM clustering algorithm. Then, we propose a method to continuously track merged moving objects. In the proposed method, color histograms are extracted from feature information of each moving object, and the histograms are continuously accumulated so as not to react sensitively to noise or changes, and the average is obtained and stored. Thereafter, when a plurality of moving objects are overlapped and separated, the stored color histogram is compared with each other to correctly recognize each moving object. Finally, we demonstrate the feasibility and applicability of the proposed algorithms through some experiments.

본 논문에서는 복잡한 배경이 있는 영상에서 얼굴 영역을 추출하는 효율적인 방법을 제안한다. 입력 영상을 밝기에 영향을 받지 않는 칼라 공간으로 변환하고 피부색을 추출한다. 각각의 피부색으로 구분된 얼굴 후보영역들은 객체화하여 처리한다. 객체화된 영역에서 잡음과 겹쳐진 객체들을 제거한다. 최종적인 얼굴 영역으로 판단하기 위해 추출된 객체의 크기 비율, 피부색의 분포율 등을 검사한다. 이 과정에서 얼굴 영역이 아니라고 판단된 객체들은 얼굴 후보 영역에서 제외된다. 제안한 방법은 복잡한 배경, 기울어진 얼굴, 액세서리가 있는 얼굴, 하나의 영상에 여러 얼굴이 있는 경우 등 다양한 환경에서 얼굴 영역을 추출율을 높일 수 있었다.

본 논문에서는 한 대의 고정카메라로 입력되는 영상에서 인체를 추적하는 알고리즘을 제안한다. 제안방법은 입력영상과 배경영상의 회색조 영상과 색상 영상의 차영상을 구한 후 그 결과를 결합하여 배경과 전경을 분리하고 객체를 추출한다. 각 객체영역은 객체별로 식별 번호가 부여되고 추적된다. 객체에 겹침 또는 가림이 발생할 경우 객체의 국부영역의 명도와 색상의 히스토그램을 구하여 객체를 추적한다. 제안방법을 카메라로 입력되는 비디오영상에 적용한 결과 객체의 가림 및 겹침이 발생했을 때도 객체를 잘 추적하였다.

A TPR-tree is a well-known indexing structure that is developed to answer queries about the current or future time locations of moving objects. For the purpose of space efficiency, the TPR-tree employs the notion of VBR (velocity bounding rectangle)so that a regionalrectangle presents varying positions of a group of moving objects. Since the rectangle computed from a VBR always encloses the possible maximum range of an indexed object group, a search process only has to follow VBR-based rectangles overlapped with a given query range, while searching toward candidate leaf nodes. Although the TPR-tree index shows up its space efficiency, it easily suffers from the problem of dead space that results from fast and constant expansions of VBR-based rectangles. Against this, the TPR-tree index is enforced to update leaf nodes for reducing dead spaces within them. Such an update-prone feature of the TPR-tree becomes more problematic when the tree is saved in flash storage. This is because flash storage has very expensive update costs. To solve this problem, we propose a new Bloom filter based caching scheme that is useful for reducing updates in a flash TPR-tree. Since the proposed scheme can efficiently control the frequency of updates on a leaf node, it can offer good performance for indexing moving objects in modern flash storage.

Selecting locally optimum thresholds, based on optimizing a criterion composed of the area variation rate and the compactness of the segmented shape, is presented. The method is shown to have the shape-resolving property in the subtraction image, so that overlapped objects may be resolved into bright and dark evidences characterizing each object. As an application a vehicle detection algorithm robust to the operating conditions could be realized by applying simple merging rules to the geometrically correlated bright and dark evidences obtained by this local thresholding.

In this paper, we show the improved fuzzy c-means clustering method. To improve, we use the double clustering as principal component analysis from objects which is located on common region of more than two clusters. In addition we use the degree of membership (probability) of fuzzy c-means which is the advantage. From simulation result, we find some improvement of accuracy in data of the probability 0.7 exterior and interior of overlapped area.

A new method for recognizing and locating partially occluded or overlapped two-dimensional objects regardless of their size, translation, and rotation, is presented. Dominant points approximating occuluding contoures of objects are generated by finding local maxima of smoothed k-cosine function, and then used to guide the contour segment matching procedure. Primitives between the dominant points are produced by projecting the local contours onto the line between the dominant points. Robust classification of primitives. Which is crucial for reliable partial shape matching, is performed using adaptive resonance theory (ART2). The matched primitives having similar scale factors and rotation angles are detected in the hough space to identify the presence of the given model in the object scene. Finally the translation vector is estimated by minimizing the mean squred error of the matched contur segment pairs. This model-based matching algorithm may be used in diveerse factory automation applications since models can be added or changed simply by training ART2 adaptively without modifying the matching algorithm.

A new and efficient layout object extraction technique is presented in this paper, which is to be used in technology migration or hard-U reuse. The technique models the original polygon layout represented by a set of edges as a set of connected or overlapped rectangles. The rectangle model provides easy and efficient recognition, extraction, resizing, and compaction of layout objects such as transistors, contacts, and wires. Experiments on several designs from simple standard cells to more complex designs using standard and/or custom cells demonstrate the effectiveness of our technique.
