오늘날 급격한 멀티미디어 정보의 증가에 따라 영상에서의 시각적 특성을 이용하여 멀티미디어 데이터를 검색하는 내용 기반 영상 검색 기법에 대한 관심이 크게 늘어나고 있다. 본 논문에서는 효과적인 영상 검색을 위한 새로운 접근으로서 edge correlogram과 color coherence vector를 이용한 에지 기반의 공간 기술자를 제안한다. 우선 color vector angle기법을 이용하여 주어진 영상을 고주파 성분과 저주파 성분의 영상으로 나눈다. 저주파 성분의 영상에서는 color coherence vector를 이용하여 평탄 화소의 공간적인 색상 분포를 추출함으로써 이를 평탄 영역에서의 특징 정보로서 활용한다. 반면, 고주파 성분의 영상에서는 edge correlogram으로부터 에지 화소들 간의 분포를 추출하여 이를 에지 영역에서의 특징 정보로 이용한다. 제안된 방법은 색상 간의 지엽적인 특성과 전체적인 특성을 모두 가지고 있기 때문에, 영상 간의 비교에 있어서 영상의 모양과 크기의 급격한 변화로 인한 오검출 등에 매우 강건하다. 또한, 영상에서의 구조적인 특징을 이용함으로써 복잡한 영상에 대해서도 간단하고 유연한 특징을 제공한다. 실험 결과는 영상 색인 및 검색에 있어서 제안된 알고리즘이 최근의 여러 히스토그램 정밀화 기법에 비하여 더 효과적임을 보여준다. 데이터베이스 내 영상의 색인을 위해서는 R*-tree 구조를 이용하였다.

본 논문에서는 CDMA2000 역방향 링크에서 DS/CDMA 용 rake structure antenna away에 적용되는 새로운 방식의 simplex downhill 최적화 기법 빔포밍 알고리즘을 제안하고 있다. 본 논문에서 제안한 방법은 요구되는 신호(파일럿) 분산 행렬과 간섭 분산 행렬을 사용하고 있으며, 빔포밍 가중치들은 simplex downhill 최적화 알고리즘을 사용하여 최대 SINR 기준에 따라 만들어 졌다. 본 논문에서 제안한 구조는 기존의 적응 빔포밍 알고리즘보다 더 적은 계산량, 개선된 수렴 속도와 성능을 제공한다. Simplex downhill 방법은 최적화되기 위한 결정함수의 값만을 요구하기 때문에 최적화되거나 준최적화된 가중치 벡터를 찾기에 적합한 방식이다. 또한 rake beamformer 성능을 공간 채널모델에서의 여러종류 파라미터 값에 대하여 분석하였으며, 기존 방식의 rake 수신기와 제안된 방식을 동일한 수신 전력에서 비교 분석하였다.

A well-designed mesh shape of the cable net is of essential significance to achieve high performance of cable-network antenna reflectors. This paper is concerned with the mesh design problem for such antenna reflector structure. Two new methods for creating the topological forms of the cable net are first presented. Among those, the cyclosymmetry method is useful to generate different polygon-faceted meshes, while the topological mapping method is suitable for acquiring triangle-faceted meshes with different mesh grid densities. Then, the desired spatial paraboloidal mesh geometrical configuration in the state of static equilibrium is formed by applying a simple mesh generation approach based on the force density method. The main contribution of this study is that a general technical guide for how to create the connectivities between the nodes and members in the cable net is provided from the topological point of view. With the new idea presented in this paper, multitudes of mesh configurations with different net patterns can be sought by a certain rule rather than by empiricism, which consequently gives a valuable technical reference for the mesh design of this type of cable-network structures in the engineering.

DCT 변환을 기반으로 하는 비디오 코딩은 많은 사용자와 더불어 급속한 기술 발전을 하게 되었다. 공간영역내에서 디코딩을 수행하는 것보다 DCT 영역에서 직접 데이터를 처리하는 것이 계산속도 면에서 빠르다. 그리고 블록처리 알고리듬은 병렬처리에 기초하므로 데이터 처리속도가 빠른 하드웨어로 구성되어질 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 서브밴드의 필터뱅크에서 블록변환영역 필터링을 이용한 JPEG브라우저를 제안한다. 디코딩시에 압축된 파일로부터 전체 영상을 디코딩하는대신 사용자가 원하는 크기의 영상을 브라우징 할 수 있다. 한편 DCT 영상 데이터가 입력으로 사용될 경우 제안된 블록변환 필터링은 일반적인 서브밴드 필터링보다 필터뱅크내에서의 곱셈 수를 줄임으로서 계산속도면에서 빠른 결과를 얻을 수 었다.

Monitoring of impact loads is a very important technique in the field of structural health monitoring (SHM). However, in most cases it is not possible to measure impact events directly, so they need to be reconstructed. Impact load reconstruction refers to the problem of estimating an input to a dynamic system when the system output and the impulse response function are usually known. Generally this leads to a so called ill-posed inverse problem. It is reasonable to use prior knowledge of the force in order to develop more suitable reconstruction strategies and to increase accuracy. An impact event is characterized by a short time duration and a spatial concentration. Moreover the force time history of an impact has a specific shape, which also can be taken into account. In this contribution these properties of the external force are employed to create a sample-force-dictionary and thus to transform the ill-posed problem into a sparse recovery task. The sparse solution is acquired by solving a minimization problem known as basis pursuit denoising (BPDN). The reconstruction approach shown here is capable to estimate simultaneously the magnitude of the impact and the impact location, with a minimum number of accelerometers. The possibility of reconstructing the impact based on a noisy output signal is first demonstrated with simulated measurements of a simple beam structure. Then an experimental investigation of a real beam is performed.

MPEG-2 비디오 압축열은 복잡한 부호화 알고리즘을 이용하여 압축하기 때문에 전송 오류에 매우 민감하다. 만약 패킷을 잃어버리거나 수신된 패킷에 오류가 있으면 현재 화면에 화질저하가 발생할 뿐만 아니라 화면수가 제한적이긴 하지만 뒤이어서 재생되는 화면에도 오류가 전파된다. 따라서 이런 전송오류의 영향을 막거나 최소화 하기위해서 다양한 오류 강인 부호화/복호화를 적용한다. 대표적인 오류 강인 방법이 오류 은폐 기법이다. 오류 은폐 기법은 손상된 비디오 데이터를 은폐하기 위해서 정상적으로 수신된 데이터의 공간적, 시간적 중복성을 이용한다. 손상된 데이터를 복원하기 위해 움직임 벡터를 추정하고 움직임 보상하는 것은 좋은 방법이다. 이 논문에서는 다양한 움직임 벡터 복원 방법에 기반한 오류 은폐 기법을 제안하고 일반적인 방법들과 성능을 비교한다.

Convective systems propagate eastward with a persistent pattern in the longitude-time space. The characteristic structure and fluctuation of convective system is helpful in determining its predictability. In this study, convective index (CI) was defined as a difference between GOES-9 window and water vapor channel brightness temperatures following Mosher (2001). Then the temporal-spatial scales and variational characteristics of the summer convective systems in the East Asia were analyzed. It is found that the average moving speed of the convective system is about 14 m/s which is much faster than the low pressure system in the summer. Their average duration is about 12 hours and the average length of the cloud streak is about 750km. These characteristics are consistent with results from other studies. Although the convective systems are forced by the synoptic system and are mostly developed in the eastern edge of the Tibetan Plateau, they have a persistent pattern, i.e., appearance of the maximum intensity of convective systems, as they approach the Korean Peninsula. The consistency of the convective systems, i.e., the eastward propagation, suggests that there exists an intrinsic predictability.

Bulk-loading an R-tree can be a good approach to build an efficient one. However, it takes a lot of time to bulk-load an R-tree for huge amount of data. In this paper, we propose a parallel R-tree construction scheme based on a Hadoop framework. The proposed scheme divides the data set into a number of partitions for which local R-trees are built in parallel via Map-Reduce operations. Then the local R-trees are merged into an global R-tree that covers the whole data set. While generating the partitions, it considers the spatial distribution of the data into account so that each partition has nearly equal amounts of data. Therefore, the proposed scheme gives an efficient index structure while reducing the construction time. Experimental tests show that the proposed scheme builds an R-tree more efficiently than the existing approaches.

Microtubules play an important role in intracellular transport, mobility, and particularly mitosis. Paclitaxel (Taxol$^{TM}$) and paclitaxel-like compounds have been shown to be anti-tumor agents useful for various human tumors. Paclitaxel-like compounds operate by stabilizing microtubules through interface binding at the interface between two ${\beta}$-tubulin monomers in adjacent protofilaments. In this paper we present the elucidation of the structural features of paclitaxel and paclitaxel-like compounds (e.g., epothilones) with microtubule stabilizing activities, and relate their activities to spatial and chemical features of the molecules. CATALYST program was used to generate three-dimensional quantitative structure activity relationships (3D-QSARs) resulting in 3D pharmacophore models of epothilone- and paclitaxel-derivatives. Pharmacophore models were generated from diverse conformers of these compounds resulting in a high correlation between experimental and predicted biological activities (r = 0.83 and 0.91 for epothilone and paclitaxel derivatives, respectively). On the basis of biological activities of the training sets, five- and four-feature pharmacophore hypotheses were generated in the epothilone and paclitaxel series. The validation of generated hypotheses was achieved by using twelve epothilones and ten paclitaxels, respectively, which are not in the training sets. The clustering (grouping) and merging techniques were used in order to supplement spatial restrictions of each of hypothesis and to develop more comprehensive models. This approach may be of use in developing novel inhibitor candidates as well as contributing a better understanding of structural characters of many compounds useful as anticancer agents targeting microtubules.

The distribution and abundance of coastal fish species in Asan Bay, Korea, were estimated from hydroacoustic survey and net catches. Acoustic data were collected with 38 and 200 kHz from July to October of 2012, and converted to the nautical area scattering coefficient (NASC, $m^2/mile^2$) for $0.25n{\cdot}mile$ along ten transects. Japanese anchovy Engraulis japonicus was the dominant specie in the net catches. The virtual echogram technique was used to distinguish E. japonicus from other species based on the differences in the mean volume backscattering strength (${\Delta}MVBS$) at 38 and 200 kHz. Engraulis japonicus and other fishes are mainly distributed in the center channel and outer part of Asan Bay. E. japonicus tends to move from inner to outer Asan Bay in summer and fall. From NASC data, the target strength and length-weight function of E. japonicus and other fishes were used to estimate the E. japonicus stock at 24.1-93.3 tons, and other fish at 40.6-88.4 tons from July to October 2012. The estimated anchovy biomass compared well with the cumulative catch weight from stow net catches. The hydroacoustic method offers an approach to understanding spatial/temporal structure and estimating the biomass of fish aggregations in coastal areas.
