In this paper, a real-time stereoscopic image conversion method using a single frame from a 2-D image is proposed. The Stereoscopic image is generated by creating depth map using vortical position information and parallax processing. For a real-time processing of stereoscopic conversion and reduction of hardware complexity, it uses image sampling, object segmentation by standardizing luminance and depth map generation by boundary scan. The proposed method offers realistic 3-D effect regardless of the direction, velocity and scene conversion of the 2-D image. It offers effective stereoscopic conversion using images suitable conditions assumed in this paper such as recorded image at long distance, landscape and panorama photo because it creates different depth sense using vertical position information from a single frame. The proposed method can be applied to still image because it uses a single frame from a 2-D image. The proposed method has been evaluated using visual test and APD for comparing the stereoscopic image of the proposed method with that of MTD. It is confirmed that stereoscopic images conversed by the proposed method offers 3-D effect regardless of the direction and velocity of the 2-D image.

Toxoplasmic encephalitis is caused by reactivation of bradyzoites to rapidly dividing tachyzoites of the apicomplexan parasite Toxoplasma gondii in immunocompromised hosts. Diagnosis of this life-threatening disease is problematic, because it is difficult to discriminate between these 2 stages. Toxoplasma PCR assays using gDNA as a template have been unable to discriminate between an increase or decrease in SAG1 and BAG1 expression between the active tachyzoite stage and the latent bradyzoite stage. In the present study, real-time RT-PCR assay was used to detect the expression of bradyzoite (BAG1)- and tachyzoite-specific genes (SAG1) during bradyzoite/tachyzoite stage conversion in mice infected with T. gondii Tehran strain after dexamethasone sodium phosphate (DXM) administration. The conversion reaction was observed in the lungs and brain tissues of experimental mice, indicated by SAG1 expression at day 6 after DXM administration, and continued until day 14. Bradyzoites were also detected in both organs throughout the study; however, it decreased at day 14 significantly. It is suggested that during the reactivation period, bradyzoites not only escape from the cysts and reinvade neighboring cells as tachyzoites, but also converted to new bradyzoites. In summary, the real-time RT-PCR assay provided a reliable, fast, and quantitative way of detecting T. gondii reactivation in an animal model. Thus, this method may be useful for diagnosing stage conversion in clinical specimens of immunocompromised patients (HIV or transplant patients) for early identification of tachyzoite-bradyzoite stage conversion.

When the planar area is captured by the depth camera, the shape of the plane in the captured image has perspective projection distortion according to the position of the camera. We can correct the distorted image by the depth information in the plane in the captured area. Previous depth information based perspective distortion correction methods fail to satisfy the real-time property due to a large amount of computation. In this paper, we propose the method of applying the conversion table selectively by measuring the motion of the plane and performing the correction process by parallel processing for correcting perspective projection distortion. By appling the proposed method, the system for correcting perspective projection distortion correct the distorted image, whose resolution is 640x480, as 22.52ms per frame, so the proposed system satisfies the real-time property.

The importance of data service with mobile is becoming more and more significant with the development of wireless network. However, due to the several type of mobile devices and contents, there is a problem that mobile contents should be edited according to the features of the mobile devices and the service providers. Fortunately, there is some solutions that convert mobile contents automatically according to mobile operator. Nevertheless, it has some issues that the response time of content service is delayed when converting mobile contents in real-time. In this paper, we propose an image cache replacement algorithm for minizing the volume of the real-time image transformation. Also, using both of the pre-conversion method and the real-time conversion method to improve storage space and response time.

The recently introduced public rental housing REITs was just different the business structure from the existing public rental housing system and the basic supply system is the same. So the ownership conversion for public house over 10 years rental duration is possible after half of the obligated rental duration according to the agreement between lessor and lessee. However rental business operators are likely to have a negative attitude to the early ownership conversion because of less expected profit. Thus, there is a need for an analysis of proper early ownership conversion moment that can achieve public purposes while ensuring the profitability of public rental housing REITs. In this study, the characteristics of the ownership conversion rights that can lessee to exercise considered to be options. Also the nature of 'REITs', 'public rental housing REITs' is considered to be affected by the macroeconomic variables. Thus, this study analyzed the value for ownership conversion in the public rental housing REITs according to real option scenarios reflecting macroeconomic variables. As a result, according to the change of the variation rate of the macroeconomic variables, it was found that with adjustable early ownership conversion time using the DCF(Discounted Cash Flow) model. Therefore, it is possible to ensure profitability of early ownership conversion by predicting the variation of variables.

This paper deals with OO aircraft mission reliability prediction. To demonstrate user-required mission reliability, it is calculated with use general formulae which are used in reliability engineering. The mission reliability of OO aircraft is calculated in considering conversion factor (CF) on the each subsystems' MTBF. The prediction results are explained only the state at present time. Because these data are not real data in operational environments. Therefore, in the case of OO aircraft, it has to be needed collecting the real and renewal data which are operational and empirical. After that, continuing the data upgrading, it is easily closed to the more exact reliability value.

Advanced control algorithms must be used to make wind power generation truly cost effective and reliable. In this study, we develop a new and simple control scheme that employs model predictive control (MPC), which is used in permanent magnet synchronous generators and grid-connected inverters. The proposed control law is based on two points, namely, MPC-based torque-current control loop is used for the generator-side converter to reach the maximum power point of the wind turbine, and MPC-based direct power control loop is used for the grid-side converter to satisfy the grid code and help improve system stability. Moreover, a simple prediction scheme is developed for the direct-drive wind energy conversion system (WECS) to reduce the computation burden for real-time applications. A small-scale WECS laboratory prototype is built and evaluated to verify the validity of the developed control methods. Acceptable results are obtained from the real-time implementation of the proposed MPC methods for WECS.

In this paper, we proposed real-time stereoscopic image conversion algorithm using object segmentation and motion parallax. The proposed algorithm separates objects using luminance of image, extracts moving object among objects of the image using motion parallax and generates depth map. Parallax process is done based on the depth map. The proposed method has been evaluated using visual test and APD(Absolute Parallx Difference) for comparing the stereoscopic image of the proposed method with that of MTD. The proposed method offers realistic stereoscopic conversion effect regardless of the direction and velocity of the 2-D image.
