본 논문에서는 성별 인식을 위해 얼굴 영상을 효과적으로 기술하는 새로운 지역 패턴 방법 Local Prominent Directional Pattern (LPDP)를 제안한다. 제안된 LPDP 방법은 성별 인식에 중요한 얼굴 모양을 명확하게 구분하기 위해 주변 패턴이 누적된 히스토그램을 통계적으로 분석하고 패턴 변화가 크게 발생하는 픽셀을 부호화 한다. 통계적인 정보를 사용하는 얼굴 모양 구분에 중요한 뚜렷한 에지 방향 패턴 영역을 구분하는 중요한 정보를 제공 할 수 있다. 이는 뚜렷한 에지 방향 패턴이 나타나는 영역의 주변도 유사한 에지 방향 패턴이 나타내기 때문에 통계적으로 특정 방향이 히스토그램에 많이 누적될 수 있기 때문이다. 또한 통계적인 방법은 주변 영역의 정보를 많이 수용하기 때문에 잡음으로 발생하는 에지 방향 변화 오류에 강력한 장점이 있다. 제안된 방법은 기존 방법들 보다 더 강력한 성별인식에 중요한 얼굴 모양 구분 능력을 보여주면서 국소적으로 발생하는 잡음에 견고함을 보여준다. 우리는 제안된 방법의 성능을 평가하기 위해 밝기, 표정, 연령, 머리 포즈가 변화하는 성별 인식 데이터 셋에 다양한 실험을 실험 했고 기존 방법 보다 제안된 방법의 성능이 우수함을 입증했다.

This paper presents a new descriptor, named Histograms of Prominent Edge Directions (HPED), for the recognition of facial expressions in a person-independent environment. In this paper, we raise the issue of sampling error in generating the code-histogram from spatial regions of the face image, as observed in the existing descriptors. HPED describes facial appearance changes based on the statistical distribution of the top two prominent edge directions (i.e., primary and secondary direction) captured over small spatial regions of the face. Compared to existing descriptors, HPED uses a smaller number of code-bins to describe the spatial regions, which helps avoid sampling error despite having fewer samples while preserving the valuable spatial information. In contrast to the existing Histogram of Oriented Gradients (HOG) that uses the histogram of the primary edge direction (i.e., gradient orientation) only, we additionally consider the histogram of the secondary edge direction, which provides more meaningful shape information related to the local texture. Experiments on popular facial expression datasets demonstrate the superior performance of the proposed HPED against existing descriptors in a person-independent environment.

In both structural and environmental wind engineering, the vertical variation of wind direction is important as it impacts both the torsional response of the high-rise building and the pedestrian level wind environment. In order to systematically investigate the vertical variation of wind directions (i.e., the so-called 'twist effect') induced by hills with idealized geometries, a series of wind-tunnel tests was conducted. The length-to-width aspect ratios of the hill models were 1/3, 1/2, 1, 2 and 3, and the measurements of both wind speeds and directions were taken on a three-dimensional grid system. From the wind-tunnel tests, it has been found that the direction changes and most prominent at the half height of the hill. On the other hand, the characteristic length of the direction change, has been found to increase when moving from the windward zone into the wake. Based on the wind-tunnel measurements, a descriptive model is proposed to calculate both the horizontal and vertical variations of wind directions. Preliminarily validated against the wind-tunnel measurements, the proposed model has been found to be acceptable to describe the direction changes induced by an idealized hill with an aspect ratio close to 1. For the hills with aspect ratios less than 1, while the description of the vertical variation is still valid, the horizontal description proposed by the model has been found unfit.

Dynamic response of buried pipelines both in the axial and the transverse directions on concrete pipe and steel pipe, FRP pipe were investigated through a forced vibration analysis. The dynamic behavior of the buried pipelines for the forced vibration is found to exhibit two different forms, a transient response and a steady state response, depending on the time before and after the transfer of a seismic wave on the end of the buried pipeline. The former is identified by a slight change in its behavior before the sinusoidal-shaped seismic wave travels along the whole length of the pipeline whereas the latter by the complete form of a sinusoidal wave when the wave travels throughout the pipeline. The transient response becomes insignificant as the wave speed increases. From the results of the dynamic responses at the many points of the pipeline, we have found that the responses appeared to be dependent critically on the boundary end conditions. Such effects are found to be most prominent especially for the maximum values of the displacement and the strain and its position.

InP quantum dots were grown by using the molecular beam epitaxy technique. Quantum dots are connected and composed string-like one-dimensional structure due to the strain field along [110] crystal direction. Two prominent photoluminescence transitions from normal quantum dots and string-like one-dimensional structure were observed which show strong optical anisotropy along [1-10] and [110] crystal directions. Both peaks also showed blue-shift while rotating emission polarization from [1-10] to [110] direction. Such optical transition behaviors are the consequence of the valence band mixing caused by strain field along the [110] crystal direction.

In order to clarify the origin of perpendicular anisotropy in thermally evaporated TbFeCo amorphous thin films, we have investigated the effects of deposition angle on magnetic Kerr hysteresis loop, perpendicular magnetic anisotropy and internal stress depend strongly on the deposition angle and above a threshold value(30$^{\circ}$), the perpendicular anisotropy disapperars and the in-plane anisotropy appears. The measurement of internal stress is the major contribution to the perpendicular anisotropy. The measurements of Kerr hysteresis loops in the polar and the longitudinal directions show that as the deposition angle increases the polar kerr hystresis loop deteriorates while the longitudinal Kerr hystersis loop becomes prominent.

A small number of active galactic nuclei are known to exhibit prominent double peak emission profiles that are well-fitted by a relativistic accretion disk model. We develop a Monte Carlo code to compute the linear polarization of a double peaked broad emission line arising from Thomson scattering. A Keplerian accretion disk is adopted for the double peak emission line region and the geometry is assumed to be Schwarzschild. Far from the accretion disk where flat Minkowski geometry is appropriate, we place an azimuthally symmetric scattering region in the shape of a spherical shell sliced with ${\Delta}{\mu}=0.1$. Adopting a Monte Carlo method we generate line photons in the accretion disk in arbitrary directions in the local rest frame and follow the geodesic paths of the photons until they hit the scattering region. The profile of the polarized flux is mainly determined by the relative location of the scattering region with respect to the emission source. When the scattering region is in the polar direction, the degree of linear polarization also shows a double peak structure. Under favorable conditions we show that up to 0.6% linear polarization may be obtained. We conclude that spectropolarimetry can be a powerful probe to reveal much information regarding the accretion disk geometry of these active galactic nuclei.

본 연구에서는 3차원 얼굴 데이타에서 인접 부위의 깊이 차를 이용하여 얼굴의 주요 특징을 추출해 내는 방법을 제안한다. 인간은 사물의 특정 부분의 깊이 정보를 인식하는데 있어서 인접 부위와의 깊이 정보를 비교하고, 이를 바탕으로 깊이 값에 의한 대조가 두드러진 정도에 따라 상대적으로 깊이가 깊고 얕음을 지각하게 된다. 이런 인식 원리를 얼굴의 특징 추출에 적용하여 간단한 연산 과정을 통해 신뢰성 있고, 빠른 얼굴의 특징 추출이 가능하다. 인접 부위의 깊이 차는 수평방향과 수직방향으로 각각 일정 거리를 둔 지점에서의 두 지점간의 깊이 차로 생성된다. 생성된 수평, 수직 방향으로 인접 깊이 차와 입력된 3차원 얼굴 영상을 분석하여 3차원 얼굴 영상에서 가장 주된 특징이 되는 코 영역을 추출하였다.

From ancient times. lotus pattern had esthetic factor and symbolic factor. Lotus pattern was introduced to China, and it was grafted together with Chinese peculiar culture symbol system, thereafter it has changed and developed. The Chinese taking a serious view meaning that things include, and they frequently use several lucky omen patterns in their everyday life. In this study, I investigated laying stress on symbolism about Lotus patterns of China lucky omen patterns, and I wanted to present possibility that can approach to Chinese culture in new angle. Through result of this study, symbol of Lotus patterns can divide two directions. First, symbol by natural properties of lotus are same as following. 1. Lotus grows in the mud, but it is uncontaminated - clearness and uprightness, 2. Root, branches, loaves and flowers are vegetative together, and all of basis and branches are exuberant. - plenty, 3. Bear fruit simultaneously with blooming, and it is procreant. - fecundity and many descendants. Symbol that use same pronunciation and intention are same as following. 1. 'Lian(연)'-'Lian(연)' : repeatability, continuance, plenty and intercommunicate, 2. 'Lian(연)'-'Lian(염)': integrity, 3. 'He (하)'-'He(화)' : peace, harmony and combination, 4. 'He(하)'-'He(하)' : clear river, 5.'He(하)'-'He(하)' ; all work goes well. When the Chinese use lotus patterns in lucky omen patterns, same pronunciation and pitch of Chinese language more prominent than natural properties or the image of Buddhism. I guess that it cause praying individual's peace and happiness more serious than philosophical meaning or symbol that base in Buddhism for ordinary people.

We have investigated the spatial configuration of stars within the tidal radius of metal poor globular cluster NGC 6626 in the bulge direction. Data were obtained in near-IR J,H,Ks bands with wide-field ($20'\times20'$) detector, WIRCam at CFHT. To trace the stellar density around target cluster, we sorted cluster's member stars by using a mask filtering algorithm and weighting the stars on the color-magnitude diagram. From the weighted surface density map, we found that the stellar spatial distributions within the tidal radius appear asymmetric and distorted features. Especially, we found that more prominent over-density features are extending toward the direction of Galactic plane rather than toward the directions of the Galactic center and its orbital motion. This orientation of the stellar density distribution can be interpreted with result of disk-shock effect of the Galaxy that the cluster had been experienced. Indeed, this over-density feature are well represented in the radial surface density profile for different angular sections. As one of the metal poor globular clusters with extended horizontal branch (EHB) in the bulge direction, NGC 6626 is kinematically decoupled from the normal clusters and known to have disk motion of peculiar motion. Thus, our result will be able to add further constraints to understand the origin of this cluster and the formation of bulge region in early universe.
