The goal of this paper is to analyze and build an algorithm to recognize hand gestures applying to smart home applications. The proposed algorithm uses image processing techniques combing with artificial neural network (ANN) approaches to help users interact with computers by common gestures. We use five types of gestures, namely those for Stop, Forward, Backward, Turn Left, and Turn Right. Users will control devices through a camera connected to computers. The algorithm will analyze gestures and take actions to perform appropriate action according to users requests via their gestures. The results show that the average accuracy of proposal algorithm is 92.6 percent for images and more than 91 percent for video, which both satisfy performance requirements for real-world application, specifically for smart home services. The processing time is approximately 0.098 second with 10 frames/sec datasets. However, accuracy rate still depends on the number of training images (video) and their resolution.

호버크래프트는 수륙양용으로 운용이 가능하고, 일반 보트에 비해 연비가 좋은 관계로 보트의 대체 수단 및 레저용으로 이용이 증가하는 추세이다. 아울러 우리나라도 소방서의 인명구조구급용으로의 수요가 점차 많아지고 있다. 본 논문에서는 호버크래프트의 전진과 후진을 자유롭게 하기 위해 후진 시 방향을 제어할 수 있는 후진 버켓 컴퓨터 시스템 제어기를 개발하였다. 제안한 시스템제어기의 타당성을 입증하기 위하여 Matlab으로 시뮬레이션 한 다음, 실제 소방서에 납품하는 기종에 장착하여 실증 실험을 수행하 였다. 그 결과 호버크래프트는 추진 공기의 흐름에 대하여 좌 우 및 역 추진이 용이하였으며 인명 구조시나 고속 주행시 등에서도 안정된 운용이 가능함을 확인 하였다.

PURPOSES : The intents of the study are to identify the accident factors and to demonstrate the potentials of tobit model as a tool to study the number of accidents on arterial roads segments. METHODS : This paper uses a tobit regression as a methodology to analyze the factors affecting the number of accidents. In pursuing the above goal, this study gives particular attentions to analyzing the data of 2,446 accidents (1,610 in major arterial roads and 836 in minor arterial roads) occurred on arterial roads in 2007 to 2010. RESULTS : First, 3 accident models which were classified by total arterial roads, major arterial roads and minor arterial roads, and were all statistically significant were developed. Second, the exclusive right-turn lane as common variable, and the number of accident, traffic volume, number of lanes, link length, rate of median, number of entrances, number of pedestrian crossings, number of curves, number of bus stops and exclusive left-turn as specific variables of the models were selected. Finally, the paired sample t-test could not be rejected the null hypotheses of three types of models. CONCLUSIONS : Using data from vehicle accidents on arterial roads, the estimation results show that many factors related to roadway geometrics and traffic characteristics significantly affect to the number of accidents.

This paper describes the recognition method of moving objects in mobile robot with an omnidirectional camera. The moving object is detected using the specific pattern of an optical flow in omnidirectional image. This paper consists of two parts. In the first part, the pattern of an optical flow is investigated in omnidirectional image. The optical flow in omnidirectional image is influenced on the geometry characteristic of an omnidirectional camera. The pattern of an optical flow is theoretically and experimentally investigated. In the second part, the detection of moving objects is presented from the estimated optical flow. The moving object is extracted through the relative evaluation of optical flows which is derived from the pattern of optical flow. In particular, Focus-Of-Expansion (FOE) and Focus-Of-Contraction (FOC) vectors are defined from the estimated optical flow. They are used as reference vectors for the relative evaluation of optical flows. The proposed algorithm is performed in four motions of a mobile robot such as straight forward, left turn, right turn and rotation. Experimental results using real movie show the effectiveness of the proposed method.

The purpose of this study was to find out how second, fourth and sixth graders understood the main contents related to spatial sense in the Seventh National Mathematics Curriculum. For this purpose, this study examined students' understanding of the main contents of congruence transformation (slide, flip, turn), mirror symmetry, cubes, congruence and symmetry. An investigation was conducted and the subjects included 483 students. The main results are as follows. First, with regards to congruence transformation, whereas students had high percentages of correct answers on questions concerning slide, they had lower percentages on questions concerning turn. Percentages of correct answers on flip questions had significant differences among the three grades. In addition, most students experienced difficulties in describing the changes of shapes. Second, students understood the fact that the right and the left of an image in a mirror are exchanged, but they had poor overall understanding of mirror symmetry. The more complicated the cubes, the lower percentages of correct answers. Third, students had a good understanding of congruences, but they had difficulties in finding out congruent figures. Lastly, they had a poor understanding of symmetry and, in particular, didn't distinguish a symmetric figure of a line from a symmetric figure of a point.

This paper presents the Traffic information system that based on an embedded WinCE board which has GPS and HSDPA. This system is able to overcome the limit of area using the Internet service which other systems can't provide. When the embedded board receives data about the geometric and vehicle speed information, it transmits to the server via HSDPA/the Internet. The server receives and processes it for the path services. And also we present the path guidance algorithm which is based on the speed information. These algorithm responses to the dynamical traffic condition through updating traffic information. Especially, we suggest a Traffic Status Variable in each branch which represents each road's traffic status. This Traffic Status Variable contains speed, road grade; we separate the road three groups as speed limitation; and past speed data - for example, week day rush hour of each road. In addition, the data of cross about left-turn or right-turn can update. Those elements is consisted Traffic Status Variable.

본 논문은 FLC(Fuzzy Logic Control)를 이용한 원격제어 이동로봇이 다수 경유점을 보다 효율적으로 주행하는 방법을 연구하였다. 제작된 원격 제어 이동로봇은 전진, 후진, 좌회전, 우회전의 이동 명령을 한 가지씩 수행한 후 정지한다. 이러한 주행형태의 단점을 보완하기 위해 본 논문은 센서를 이용하여 얻어진 지형정보를 바탕으로 목적지까지 경유점 수를 줄이고, 경유점 간의 이동을 최적한 경로로 주행하도록 하였다. 그리고, 장애물 출현 시 회피할 수 있는 FLC 알고리즘을 개발하였다. 그리고, 이러한 주행 알고리즘을 시뮬레이션을 통해 확인하였다.

Morphological studies in the micro-end-to-end (m-E-E) and micro-side-by-side (m-S-S) aggregations were conducted by using of scanning electron microscope (SEM) for the samples precipitated by heating of the end-products of the transition of FormⅡ (left-handed helix, three peptides per turn, 31) Form Ⅰ (right-handed helix, 3.3 peptides per turn, 103) in poly(L-proline) (PLP) in acetic acid(water)-propanol (1:9 v/v) solvent. The observed morphology for the solide state shows a rope (or super helical) type and pebbles type aggregate for the (m-E-E) and (m-S-S) aggregate respectively. The viscosities were also measured during the heat-precipitation in order to elucidate the process of formation of the rope- and pebbles-type aggregates. The result for the (m-E-E) aggregations exhibit two steps, i.e., at first, the viscosity increases with time (step 1), thereafter it decrease until attain the last value (step 2). But the (m-S-S) aggregations show only one step in the decreases in viscosity. On the bases of all experimental results it is possible to propose a reasonable mechanism for the formation of the two types of aggregates of the (m-E-E) and (m-S-S).

Following a loss of control, the impact against a road barrier in a turn predominates among the most severe motorcyclist accidents. These road restraint devices can be equipped with a motorcycle screen, the function of which is to restrain the rider and minimize the consequences of the impact in terms of the severity of injuries. The performance of these screens is evaluated by the European normative procedure EN1317-8, which specifies the test conditions, based on one or two configurations. In practice, however, these impact conditions are very diverse, difficult to extrapolate from accident analysis and therefore poorly investigated. This study is interested in improving knowledge of these impact conditions in terms of impact speed, impact angle and particularly position of the rider. A finite element model has been developed to simulate the dynamic behavior of the rider from loss of control to impact on the screen. Statistical analysis of the results shows a high variability of the impact conditions, in particular with regard to the direction of turn (to the right or to the left). Some improvements are suggested in order to overcome the limitations inherent in standard procedures.
