최근 인터넷 지리정보시스템에 대한 요구가 증가하면서 효율적인 공간 데이터 검색에 대한 필요성이 커지고 있다. 효율적인 공간 데이터 검색을 위해서는 단계별로 상세 화된 데이터를 검색하는 기법이 요구되며, 이러한 데이터를 효율적으로 처리하는 공간 인덱싱 기법이 필요하다. 본 논문에서는 효율적인 공간 데이터 검색을 위한 단계화 된 지리정보 데이터 검색을 지원하는 공간 인덱싱 기법을 제안한다. 기존의 공간 인덱싱 기법은 단계별 데이터를 검색하는데 비효율적이며, 단계별 데이터를 지원하는 몇 가지 공간 인덱싱 기법도 모든 종류의 단계별 데이터를 지원할 수 없는 문제점을 가진다. 제안된 구조는 모든 종류의 단계별 데이터를 지원하며, 메모리 용량과 검색 시간 모두에서 이전의 공간 인덱싱 기법보다 우수하다.

As a kind of 2D spatial coordinate transform, image warping is a basic image processing technique utilized in various applications. Though image warping algorithm is composed of relatively simple operations such as memory accesses and computations of weighted average, real-time implementations on embedded vision systems suffer from limited computational power because the simple operations are iterated as many times as the number of pixels. This paper presents a real-time implementation of a look-up table(LUT)-based image warping using an FPGA. In order to ensure sufficient data transfer rate from memories storing mapping LUT and image data, appropriate memory devices are selected by analyzing memory access patterns in an LUT-based image warping using backward mapping. In addition, hardware structure of a parallel and pipelined architecture is proposed for fast computation of bilinear interpolation using fixed-point operations. Accuracy of the implemented hardware is verified using a synthesized test image, and an application to real-time lens distortion correction is exemplified.

Although synthetic aperture focusing techniques can improve the spatial resolution of ultrasound imaging, they have not been employed in a commercial product because they require a real-time N-channel beamformer with a tremendously increased hardware complexity for simultaneous beamforming along M multiple lines. In this paper, a hardware-efficient beamformer architecture for synthetic aperture focusing is presented. In contrast to the straightforward design using NM delay calculators, the proposed method utilizes only M delay calculators by sharing the same values among the focusing delays which should be calculated at the same time between the N channels for all imaging points along the M scan lines. In general, synthetic aperture beamforming requires M 2-port memories. In the proposed beamformer, the input data for each channel is first upsampled with a 4-fold interpolator and each polyphase component of the interpolator output is stored into a 2-port memory separately, requiring 4M 2-port memories for each channel. By properly limiting the area formed with the synthetic aperture focusing, the input memory buffer can be implemented with only 4 2-port memories and one short multi-port memory.

Memory and schema are very similar in terms of human accumulated mental and physical experiences. However, while memory has more personal aspect, schema discussed in this paper has more collective aspect. Schema has been developed through different generations and times, and has become a specific psychological or visual element(s) that can be applied to various fields, such as all, design and architecture. This study focuses on Aldo Rossi's architectural design characteristics based on his 'Autobiographical Concept' as well as personal schema. 'Autobiographical Concept' is the crucial structure supporting Aldo Rossi's distinctive formalization and spatialization. 4 case projects were comparatively analyzed by the 5 elements included in 'Autobiographical Concept'. It was not easy to relate each element to a specific design aspect because the 5 elements are somehow theoretically and conceptually inter-connected each other. Even though it is very difficult to directly relate a conceptual element with a real spatial element, it is found that the 5 elements have some differences in the spatialization process. Thus, in the conclusion, this study attempted to show the unique characteristics of the Aldo Rossi's architectural design process based on his 'Autobiographical Concept'.

스트리밍 형태로 처리되는 멀티미디어 응용 데이터는 공간적 지역성은 큰 대신 시간적 지역성이 낮은 특징이 있다. 이 논문에서는 멀티미디어 응용 데이터에 내재된 메모리 참조의 규칙성을 활용하는 동적 선인출 기법을 제안하였다. 제안된 기법은 배열을 작은 블록으로 나누어 블록별로 계산을 수행하는 응용 프로그램의 경우에 기존의 방법과 비교하여 선인출 에러를 크게 줄일 수 있다. 여러 가지 미디어 벤치마크에 대한 실험 결과, 제안된 기법이 기존의 선형 선인출 기법에 비하여 예측의 정확도가 높고 성능이 우수함을 확인하였다.

The decrease of masticatory function caused by tooth loss leads to a decrease of cerebral blood flow volume resulting in impairment of cognitive function and learning memory disorder. However, the reduced mastication-mediated morphological alteration in the central nervous system (CNS) responsible for senile deficit of cognition, learning and memory has not been well documented. In this study, the effect of the loss of the molar teeth (molarless condition) on the hippocampal expression of glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) protein was studied by immunohistochemical techniques. The results were as follows : 1. The molarless mice showed a lower density of pyramidal cells in the cornu ammonis 1 (CA1) and dentate gyrus (DG) region of the hippocampus than control mice. 2. Immunohistochemical analysis showed that the molarless condition enhanced the time-dependent increase in the cell density and hypertrophy of GFAP immunoreactivity in the CA1 region of the hippocampus. The molarless condition enhanced an time-dependent decrease in the number of neurons in the hippocampal formation and the time-dependent increase in the number and hypertrophy of GFAP-labeled cells in the same region. The data suggest a possible link between reduced mastication and histological changes in hippocampal formation that may be one risk factor for senile impairment of cognitive function and spatial learning memory.

In this paper, we propose an edge detection algorithm for auto focus of infrared camera. We designed and implemented the edge detection of infrared image by using a spatial filter on FPGA. The infrared camera should be designed to minimize the image processing time and usage of hardware resource because these days surveillance systems should have the fast response and be low size, weight and power. we applied the $3{\times}3$ mask filter which has an advantage of minimizing the usage of memory and the propagation delay to process filtering. When we applied Laplacian filter to extract contour data from an image, not only edge components but also noise components of the image were extracted by the filter. These noise components make it difficult to determine the focus state. Also a bad pixel of infrared detector causes a problem in detecting the edge components. So we propose an adaptive edge detection filter that is a method to extract only edge components except noise components of an image by analyzing a variance of pixel data in $3{\times}3$ memory area. And we can detect the bad pixel and replace it with neighboring normal pixel value when we store a pixel in $3{\times}3$ memory area for filtering calculation. The experimental result proves that the proposed method is effective to implement the edge detection for auto focus in infrared camera.

The spatial distribution of neutron flux or reaction rate was calculated by cell or mesh tally in traditional Monte Carlo simulation. However, either cell or mesh tally leads to the increase of memory consumption and simulation time. In this paper, the function expansion tally (FET) method was developed in Reactor Monte Carlo code RMC to solve this problem. The FET method was applied to the tallies of neutron flux distributions of uranium block and PWR fuel rod models. Legendre polynomials were used in the axial direction, while Zernike polynomials were used in the radial direction. The results of flux, calculation time and memory consumption of different expansion orders were investigated, and compared with the mesh tally. Results showed that the continuous distribution of flux can be obtained by FET method. The flux distributions were consistent with that of mesh tally, while the memory consumption and simulation time can be effectively reduced. Finally, the convergence analysis of coefficients of polynomials were performed, and the selection strategy of FET order was proposed based on the statistics uncertainty of the coefficients. The proposed method can help to determine the order of FET, which was meaningful for the efficiency and accuracy of FET method.

히스토그램을 이용한 질의 술어의 선택도 추정은 상용 데이터베이스 시스템의 비용 기반 최적화기에서 가장 널리 사용되는 방법이다. 공간 데이터베이스 관리 시스템의 경우 객체간의 위상 관계를 이용한 술어가 주어지며, 질의 최적화를 위해서는 공간 위상 술어의 선택도 추정이 필수적이다. 이를 이해 본 논문에서는 기존의 다차원 히스토그램 기법에 차원 변환 기법을 적용한 공간 위상 술어 추정 기법을 제안한다. 제안된 기법은 차원 변환 공간상의 점으로 대응된 공간 객체로부터 두가지 분할 전략을 이용하여 공간 히스토그램을 생성한 수 변환 공간이 가지는 위상 관계를 이용하여 공간 위상 술어의 선택도를 추정한다. 제안된 기법은 공간 질의 최적화기에서 비교적 작은 메모리와 부가적인 입출력 없이 공간 위상 술어의 선택도를 추정할 수 있다.
