The currently operating NASA/GFZ Gravity Recovery and Climate Experiment (GRACE) mission is designed to measure small mass changes over a large spatial scale, including the mapping of continental water storage changes and other geophysical signals in the form of monthly temporal gravity field. The European Space Agency's Gravity field and steady state Ocean Circulation Explorer (GOCE) space gravity gradiometer (SGG) mission is anticipated to determine the mean Earth gravity field with an unprecedented geoid accuracy of several cm (rms) with wavelength of 130km or longer. In this paper, we present a summary of present GRACE studies for the recovery of hydrological signals in the Amazon basin using alternative processing and filtering techniques, and local inversion to enhance the temporal and spatial resolutions by two-folds or better. Simulation studies for the potential GRACE detection of slow deformations due to Nazca-South America plate convergence and glacial isostatic adjustment (GIA) signals show that these signals are at present difficult to detect without long-term data averaging and further improvement of GRACE measurement accuracy.

The working surface of a flexible grinding disk was characterized by means of an image processing, in which a picture of a disk surface was taken by the CCD camera and analyzed with the personal computer. As process conditions, depth of cut was changed to be 2 and 4 mm. From the captured image circles marked on the disk was regenerated using the edges detected with scale space filtering. In order to correlate the level of deformation to the distortion of the circles, intervals between each circle have been analyzed. Notable correlation has been observed between the intervals and the process conditions.

This paper presents a probabilistic head tracking method, mainly applicable to face recognition and human robot interaction, which can robustly track human head against various variations such as pose/scale change, illumination change, and background clutters. Compared to conventional particle filter based approaches, the proposed method can effectively track a human head by regularizing the sample space and sequentially weighting multiple visual cues, in the prediction and observation stages, respectively. Experimental results show the robustness of the proposed method, and it is worthy to be mentioned that some proposed probabilistic framework could be easily applied to other object tracking problems.

Image registration is concerned with the establishment of correspondence between images of the same scene with translational, rotational, and scaling differences. The estimated transformation parameters between images are very important information in the field of many applications. In this paper, we propose a shape matching scheme for finding correspondence points for images with various differences, Tranditional solutions to this area are unreliable for the rotational and schaling changes between images, and the feature extraction of partially occluded scene. To solve those problems, dominant points on digital curves are detected by scale-space filtering, and initial matching is performed by similarity measure of cumulative curvatures for dominant points. For initial matching segments pairs, optimal matching points are calculated using dynamic programming.Finally, transformation parameters are estimated.

Edges are one of the most important features used in various computer vision applications. Most of the known edge detection techniques are categorized into three gropus: First two approaches are to find gray level changes using first-order or second-order differentiation. The third method uses intrinsic propoeties of edges such as the result shown during scale space filtering. In this paper, we study various kind of edge detection techniques. Two images (Lenna image and a certain image which is composed of step, ramp, roof, and other artificial edge patterns) are used to compare different edge detection techniques and to verify the advantages and disadvantage of each techniques.

In this paper, an aviation image fusion method is proposed for creating an informative fused image through gray scale images within noise. The proposed method is based on an adaptive guided filter which adjusts regulation parameter of the filter based on peak signal noise ratio (PSNR) in order to behave as an edge-preserving filtering property. Simulation results demonstrate that the proposed method preserves the edge information of the input image and reduces the noise effect while maintaining designed PSNR.

Traditional Malware Detection is susceptible for detecting malware which is modified by polymorphism or obfuscation technology. By learning patterns that are embedded in malware code, machine learning algorithms can detect similar behaviors and replace the current detection methods. Data must collected continuously in order to learn malicious code patterns that change over time. However, the process of storing and processing a large amount of malware files is accompanied by high space and time complexity. In this paper, an HDFS-based distributed processing system is designed to reduce space complexity and accelerate feature extraction time. Using a distributed processing system, we extract two API features based on filtering basis, 2-gram feature and APICFG feature and the generalization performance of ensemble learning models is compared. In experiments, the time complexity of the feature extraction was improved about 3.75 times faster than the processing time of a single computer, and the space complexity was about 5 times more efficient. The 2-gram feature was the best when comparing the classification performance by feature, but the learning time was long due to high dimensionality.

컴퓨터 비전에서 영상 매칭 기술은 다양한 분야에 응용될 수 있는 기초적인 기술 중에 하나이다. 강인한 영상 매칭을 위해서는 정확하고 독특한 특징점을 검출하는 과정이 중요하다. 기존의 SIFT나 SURF 등 영상 매칭 알고리즘은 등방성 가우시안 필터링을 사용한 스케일 공간을 생성하여 특징점을 검출한다. 이러한 기존의 특징점 검출 방식은 스케일 공간에서 영상의 경계선을 모호하게 만들어 정확한 특징점 검출을 어렵게 만들고 영상 매칭의 성능을 떨어뜨리는 문제점을 가지고 있다. 본 논문에서는 SIFT 알고리즘의 강인한 특징점 검출을 위하여 양방향 필터링을 사용하여 스케일 공간 생성을 제안한다. 이러한 스케일 공간 생성 방식은 스케일 공간에서 영상의 경계선을 보존해 줌으로서 강인한 특징점 검출을 가능하게 하여 영상 매칭 성능을 향상시킨다. 특히 왜곡이 존재하는 영상들의 매칭에서 제안하는 특징점 검출 방법이 적용된 SIFT 알고리즘은 기존의 SIFT 알고리즘보다 우수한 영상 매칭 결과를 보여준다.

Rock joint roughness obtained from the camera-type 3D scanner was classified into waviness and unevenness. The classification criteria were established in the previous study; digital filtering was used to distinguish one from another. The classified and original profiles were used to produce metal moulds. For accurate machining of the moulds, the WEDM(Wire-cut Electric Discharge Machining) was adopted. Specimens were cast using high strength gypsum, and joint shear tests were performed by varying normal stress from low value to high one. Roughness mobilization characteristics depending on the asperity scale and the applied normal stress were investigated. A new equation was proposed to predict shear strength of rock joint, which can consider the characteristics of roughness mobilization and roughness parameters. The roughness quantification composed of waviness and unevenness was found to be a useful method to predict the joint shear strength.

A remote sensing technique to identify trajectories of breaking waves in the surf zone using oblique digital nearshore videos is proposed. The noise arising from white foam induced by wave breaking has hindered accurate remote sensing of wave properties in the surf zone. For this reason, this paper focuses on image processing to remove the noise and wave trajectory identification essential for wave property estimation. The nearshore video imagery sampled at 3 Hz are used, covering length scale(100 m). Original image sequences are processed through image frame differencing and directional low-pass image filtering to remove the noise characterized by high frequencies in the video imagery. The extraction of individual wave crest features is conducted using a Radon transform-based line detection algorithm in the processed cross-shore image timestacks having a two-dimensional space-time domain. The number of valid wave crest trajectories identified corresponds to about 2/3 of waves recorded by the in-situ sensors.
