This paper proposes a novel face detection method that finds tiny faces located at a long range even with low-resolution input images captured by a mobile robot. The proposed approach can locate extremely small-sized face regions of $12{\times}12$ pixels. We solve a tiny face detection problem by organizing a system that consists of multiple detectors including a mean-shift color tracker, short- and long-rage face detectors, and an omega shape detector. The proposed method adopts the long-range face detector that is well trained enough to detect tiny faces at a long range, and limiting its operation to only within a search region that is automatically determined by the mean-shift color tracker and the omega shape detector. By focusing on limiting the face search region as much as possible, the proposed method can accurately detect tiny faces at a long distance even with a low-resolution image, and decrease false positives sharply. According to the experimental results on realistic databases, the performance of the proposed approach is at a sufficiently practical level for various robot applications such as face recognition of non-cooperative users, human-following, and gesture recognition for long-range interaction.

Leak noise is a good source to identify the exact location of a leak point of underground water pipelines. Water leak generates broadband noise from a leak location and can be propagated to both directions of water pipes. This sound propagation due to leak in water pipelines is not a non-dispersive wave any more because of the surrounding pipes and soil. However, the necessity of long-range detection of this leak location makes to identify low-frequency acoustic waves rather than high frequency ones. Acoustic wave propagation coupled with surrounding boundaries including cast iron pipes is theoretically analyzed and the wave velocity was confirmed with experiment. The leak locations were identified both by the acoustic emission (AE) method and the cross-correlation method. In a short-range distance, both the AE method and cross-correlation method are effective to detect leak position. However, the detection for a long-range distance required a lower frequency range accelerometers only because higher frequency waves were attenuated very quickly with the increase of propagation paths. Two algorithms for the cross-correlation function were suggested, and a long-range detection has been achieved at real underground water pipelines longer than 300m.

An airborne radar is an essential aviation electronic system of the helicopter to perform various missions in all-weather environments. This paper presents the conceptual design results of the multi-mode pulsed Doppler radar system testbed model for helicopter. Due to the inherent flight nature of the hovering vehicle which is flying in low-altitude and low speed, as well as rapid maneuvering, the moving clutters from the platform should be suppressed by using a special MTD (Moving Target Detector) processing. For the multi-mode radar system model design, the flight parameters of the moving helicopter platform were assumed: altitude of 3 Km, average cruising velocity of 150knots. The multi-mode operation capability was applied such as short-range, medium-range, and long-range depending on the mission of the vehicle. The nominal detection ranges is 30 Km for the testbed experimental model, but can be expanded up to 75 Km for the long range weather mode. The detection probability of each mode is also compared in terms of the signal-to noise ratio of each mode, and the designed radar system specifications ate provided as a design results.

Purpose: To evaluate the short-term clinical outcomes of total ankle arthroplasty for the post-traumatic osteoarthritis. Materials and Methods: Fourteen patients who had undergone total ankle arthroplasty from February 2005 to June 2006 were reviewed. Eleven patients were male and three patients were female. The mean age was 52.8 years (range, 33 to 69 years). The mean follow-up duration was 15.9 months (range, 12 to 24 months). Primary injuries were pilon fractures in eight cases, malleolar fractures in three, ankle syndesmotic injury in one, talus fracture and dislocation in one, and distal tibial physeal injury in one. Visual analogue scale (VAS), Range of motion (ROM), American Orthopaedic Foot and Ankle Society (AOFAS) score and complications were evaluated. Results: The mean VAS improved from 8.6 preoperatively to 2.6 at last follow-up. The mean ROM improved from 24.6 degrees preoperatively to 33.1 degrees postoperatively. The mean AOFAS score improved from 44.5 points preoperatively to 75.1 points postoperatively. Radiographically, all components were stable, but there were component malpositions in two cases, including one varus malposition of tibial component and one increased anterior translation of talar component. Complications were deep infection in one case, intraoperative malleolar fracture in three, marginal wound necrosis in two, and heterotopic ossification in one. One prosthesis was revised because of deep infection. Conclusion: Total ankle arthroplasty for the post-traumatic osteoarthritis is believed to be an useful method for preservation of the motion, relief of the pain and high satisfaction of patients in short-term results.

주파수 변조된 연속적인 파형을 사용하는 레이다는 펄스 도플러 레이다에 비하여 구현이 비교적 간단하고 광대역, 저전력 신호의 특성 때문에 외부 탐지 가능성이 낮은 장점을 가진다. 이러한 레이다는 주로 단거리 영역에서 목표물에 대한 고해상도의 거리 및 속도정보를 얻고자 하는 목적으로 많이 활용되고 있다. 따라서 송신신호의 파형을 믹서로 인가하여 추출되는 비트 신호(beat signal)로부터 클러터 제거, 목표물에 대한 탐지여부, 거리 및 속도 정보추출 등의 목적으로 FFT(Fast Fourier Transform) 를 통한 스펙트럼 분석을 행하게 된다. 그러나 이러한 FFT 방법은 신호의 획득시간이 줄어들면 윈도우 효과로 인한 심각한 누설현상, 즉 지표면 반사파 등 강력한 클러터의 부엽에 의하여 상대적으로 낮은 전력을 갖는 신호의 탐지가 불가능해지는 문제가 생길 수 있다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 이러한 문제점을 극복하기 위하여 부엽의 크기를 낮추면서도 주파수 해상도를 적절하게 유지시킬 수 있는 가중치 윈도우 적용 방법에 대하여 분석하였다. 또한 다양한 동작환경을 고려한 모의 비트 신호를 발생시켜 가중치 윈도우 적용 방법에 따른 FFT 스펙트럼 분석 결과들을 고찰하였다.

With increasing demand of power, the equipment of power system is enlarging and the absolute capacity is going up. As a result, when a fault occurs, the fault current is consistently increasing. Therefore, I suggested some solution for limiting the fault current more efficiently. This study shows the characteristics of superconducting limiting elements and normal conducting elements combined with a transformer. We performed a short-circuit test about the fault current by using SCR switching control system operated from a CT. When short circuit accidents happened in the secondary side of a transformer, fault currents flowed and a SCR switching control system was operated. It resulted in a decrease of the fault current in the limited elements of third winding connected in parallel. For this test, we used YBCO thin films and normal conducting elements as the limited elements. Within a cycle, a superconducting fault current limiter with YBCO thin films reduced more than 90% of fault current because the resistance of superconducting elements sustainedly grew. On the other hand, the limiter with normal conductors limited as much as a set value because its resistance characteristic was linear. Consequently, in case of the limiter with superconductor, limiting range of the circuit was wide but the range of protective detection was undefined. In contrast, as for the limiter with normal conductors, limiting range and protection duty were appropriate.

북한은 단거리 탄도미사일에서부터 대륙간 탄도미사일에 이르기 까지 다양한 탄도미사일을 보유하고 있다. 단거리 탄도미사일의 위협에 직접적으로 노출되어 있는 우리나라는 이러한 위협에 대응하기 위해 다양한 미사일방어체계를 구축 중이며, 레이더는 표적을 탐지하기 위한 핵심 장비이다. 표적으로부터 레이더로 수신되는 전력에 영향을 미치는 요소에는 레이더의 송신전력, 안테나 이득, 운용 주파수, 표적의 RCS(Radar Cross Section), 표적과의 거리등이 있으며, 특히 표적의 RCS와 레이더-표적 간 거리는 레이더 고유의 성능이 아닌 외적 요인에 의해 결정되는 요소이다. 따라서 레이더의 표적 탐지율 향상을 위해서는 표적의 RCS가 크게 관측되는 위치와 표적까지의 거리를 함께 고려하여야한다. 본 논문에서는 SCUD-B 탄도미사일을 기준으로 RCS 패턴을 분석하고, 미사일 비행경로와 레이더 위치에 따른 레이더 수신 전력을 분석함으로써 최적의 레이더 배치 방안을 제안하였다.

In this study, according to the reference setting based on the runoff video of 9:00 where the highest water level of 3.94 m has been recorded during the runoff of Cheon-mi Stream in Jeju Island by the attack of Typhoon no. 16 Sanba on September $17^{th}$, 2012, the error rate of long-distance and short-distance velocimetry and real-distance change rate by input error have been calculated and the input range value of reference point by stream has been suggested. In the reference setting process, if a long-distance reference point input error occurs, the real-distance change rate of 0.35 m in the x-axis direction and 1.35 m in y-axis direction is incurred by the subtle input error of 2~11 pixels, and if a short-distance reference point input error occurs, the real-distance change rate of 0.02 m in the x-axis direction and 0.81 m in y-axis direction is incurred by the subtle input error of 1~11 pixels. According to the long-distance reference point setting variable, the velocity error rate showed the range of fluctuation of at least 14.36% to at most 76.06%, and when calculating flux, it showed a great range of fluctuation of at least 20.48% to at most 78.81%.
