This paper proposes a method for counting function point using goal and scenario based requirements. Function Point is a software sizing method and widely used as a basis to estimate software development cost. Requirements elicitation and analysis should be performed before function point analysis but function point analysis method doesn't deal with requirements elicitation and analysis. For that reason, Function point extraction method from existing requirements method is needed and if the requirements method has advantage for traceability and elicitation, it is suitable for managing cost. Goal and scenario method is widely used as requirements elicitation and analysis. It has also good traceability. Therefore, this paper discusses a method for extracting function point from requirements text gathered using the goal and scenario based requirements elicitation technique. The proposed method aims to establish and maintain traceability between function point and requirements text. Text based function point extraction guidance rules have been developed. The proposed methodology has been applied to Order Processing System development.

Among the autonomous driving systems based on visual sensors, the control method using a vanishing point is the most general method for autonomous driving. However, if the lane is lost or does not exist, it is very difficult to detect this and estimate the vanishing point. In this paper, we predict the vanishing point of the road and the vanishing point lines on the left and right sides using CNN for the camera image and design the steering controller for autonomous driving from the predicted results. As a result of the simulation, it was confirmed that the proposed method well tracked the center of the road regardless of the presence or absence of a solid lane, and was superior to the control method using a general method using the vanishing point.

This paper studies the iteration method of solving a type of second-order three-point boundary value problem with non-linear term f, which depends on the first order derivative. By using the upper and lower method, we obtain the sufficient conditions of the existence and uniqueness of solutions. Furthermore, the monotone iterative sequences generated by the method contribute to the minimum solution and the maximum solution. And the error estimate formula is also given under the condition of unique solution. We apply the solving process to a special boundary value problem, and the result is interesting.

This paper is to introduce methodologies of travel time reliability evaluation using daily traffic volumes. The methodologies include desirable speed concept, the relation between averaged daily speeds and daily traffic volumes, the standardized way in integration of travel time deviations obtained from continuous highway sections. The study began with traffic data collection from a freeway line with long lasting congestion. And then, provided establishment of the relation between averaged daily speeds and daily traffic volumes, and usability of Point estimate method (PEM) to integrate travel time deviations of sections. Based on the relation between averaged daily speeds and daily traffic volumes, it is identified that travel time reliability begins to decrease around LOS (Level of Service) C even before LOS D or F. It may be concluded that travel time reliability could be evaluated based on daily traffic volumes in highway sections using standardized PEM. The methodologies introduced in the paper, could be useful in practicing evaluation of travel time reliability during the works of highway operation or highway planning.

This paper proposes an algorithm for creating stereoscopic video from a monoscopic video. A viewer uses depth perception clues called a vanishing point which is the farthest from a viewer's viewpoint in order to perceive depth information from objects and surroundings thereof to the viewer. The viewer estimates the vanishing point with geometrical features in monoscopic images, and can perceive the depth information with the relationship between the position of the vanishing point and the viewer's viewpoint. In this paper, we propose a method to estimate a vanishing point with edge direction histogram in a general monoscopic image and to create a depth map depending on the position of the vanishing point. With the conversion method proposed through the experiment results, it is seen that stable stereoscopic conversion of a given monoscopic video is achieved.

Generally, the strength of the field shotcrete is heavily dependent on the field mixing and spraying conditions so that it is different from the strength of the shotcrete mixed in laboratories. As a support member, the early strength of shotcrete unlike concrete as structural material is very important to the initial stabilization of the excavation face in tunnels. Therefore, the field methods to efficiently test the early strength of shotcrete have been highly required. This paper aimed to verify the pneumatic pin penetration test and the point load test for measuring the early strength of the field shotcrete. Through a series of uniaxial compression, pin penetration, and point load tests for the range of the early shotcrete strength, two equations to estimate reliably the uniaxial compressive strength by the pin penetration and the point load tests were derived. Field tests in working tunnel were carried out in order to estimate the economic efficiency. As a result, pin penetration method was proved to be the most effective method for testing the early strength of the field shotcrete.

This study aims to apply and evaluate the automatic DAD analysis method, which is able to establish the depth-area relationship more efficiently and accurately for point-to-areal rainfall conversion. First, the proposed automatic DAD analysis method tracks the expansion route of area from the storm center, and it is divided into Box-tracking, Point-tracking, Advanced point-tracking according to tracking method. After applying the proposed methods to 10 events occurred in Yongdam-watershed area, we confirmed that the Advanced point-tracking method makes it possible to estimate the maximum average areal rainfal(MAAR) more accurately with consideration of the storm movement and the multi-centered storm. In addition, Advanced point-tracking could reduce the errors of the estimated MAAR induced by increasing the area because it can estimate MAAR for each storm center and compare them at the same time. Finally, the DAD curve for the study area could be derived based on the DAD analysis of the selected 10 events.

The rational method of estimating peak flow is used largely for the simplicity. But the accuracy of rational method is not easy to estimate, because the rational method is analyzed by the deterministic point or view and the runoff coefficients of the rational method are proposed from other countries. In this study the rational method is analyzed by the probabilistic way to be a more reliable method. The runoff coefficient is regarded to parameter that changes the probabilistic rainfall to the peak flow. The runoff coeffient for each return period is analyzed to be a reliable index which is used to estimate the peak flow of ungauged natural catchments.

In general, the load which acts on the structure is almost independent of time in many locations. In this case. It is difficult to estimate the life with the service load history, because the structure is on the multi- axial and multi-point loading states. In this study, the service load of the excavator which is widely used in industry field was calculated using measured cylinder pressures and displacements. The fatigue life was estimated using the multi-axial and multi-point load counting method. Service load history of 4 pin joint which act independently each other is yielded by mult-axial and multi-point load counting method. The stress spectrum is yielded by superposition of the results of FEM stress analysis applied unit load. Palm- gren-Miner's cumulative Damage is 0.000804 for Von Mises equivalent stress sequence by one side fillet weld S-N curve. This result agress with Bench test results. As a result of this study, the fatigue life esti- mation using the multi-axial and multi-axial and multi-point load counting method is useful.

Background: Monitoring terrestrial vegetation cover condition is important to evaluate its current condition and to identify potential vulnerabilities. Due to simplicity and low cost, point intercept method has been widely used in evaluating grassland surface and quantifying cover conditions. Field-based digital photography method is gaining popularity for the purpose of cover estimate, as it can reduce field time and enable additional analysis in the future. However, the caveats and uncertainty among field-based vegetation cover estimation methods is not well known, especially across a wide range of cover conditions. We compared cover estimates from point intercept and digital photography methods with varying sampling intensities (25, 49, and 100 points within an image), across 61 transects in typical steppe, forest steppe, and desert steppe in central Mongolia. We classified three photosynthetic groups of cover important to grassland ecosystem functioning: photosynthetic vegetation, non-photosynthetic vegetation, and bare soil. We also acquired normalized difference vegetation index from satellite image comparison with the field-based cover. Results: Photosynthetic vegetation estimates by point intercept method were correlated with normalized difference vegetation index, with improvement when non-photosynthetic vegetation was combined. For digital photography method, photosynthetic and non-photosynthetic vegetation estimates showed no correlation with normalized difference vegetation index, but combining of both showed moderate and significant correlation, which slightly increased with greater sampling intensity. Conclusions: Results imply that varying greenness is playing an important role in classification accuracy confusion. We suggest adopting measures to reduce observer bias and better distinguishing greenness levels in combination with multispectral indices to improve estimates on dry matter.
