Body gesture Recognition has been one of the interested research field for Human-Robot Interaction(HRI). Most of the conventional body gesture recognition algorithms used Hidden Markov Model(HMM) for modeling gestures which have spatio-temporal variabilities. However, HMM-based algorithms have difficulties excluding meaningless gestures. Besides, it is necessary for conventional body gesture recognition algorithms to perform gesture segmentation first, then sends the extracted gesture to the HMM for gesture recognition. This separated system causes time delay between two continuing gestures to be recognized, and it makes the system inappropriate for continuous gesture recognition. To overcome these two limitations, this paper suggests primitive body model encoding, which performs spatio/temporal quantization of motions from human body model and encodes them into predefined primitive codes for each link of a body model, and Selective/Asynchronous Input-Parallel State machine(SAI-PSM) for multiple-simultaneous gesture recognition. The experimental results showed that the proposed gesture recognition system using primitive body model encoding and SAI-PSM can exclude meaningless gestures well from the continuous body model data, while performing multiple-simultaneous gesture recognition without losing recognition rates compared to the previous HMM-based work.

CarboKorea and HydroKorea are the domestic projects aiming to improve our understanding of carbon and water cycles in a typical Korean forest located in a complex terrain with a watershed connected to large rivers. The ultimate goal is to provide a nowcasting of these cycles for the whole Peninsula. The basic strategy to achieve such goal is through the inter- and multi-disciplinary studies that synthesize the in-situ field observation, modeling and remote sensing technology. The challenge is the fact that natural ecosystems are nonlinear and heterogeneous with a wide range of spatio-temporal scales causing the variations of mass and energy exchanges from a leaf to landscape scales. Our paradigm now shifts from temporal variation at a point to spatial patterns and from spatial homogeneity to complexity of water and carbon at multiple scales. Yet, a large portion of our knowledge about land-atmosphere interactions has been established based on tower observations, indicating that the development of scaling logics holds the key to the success of CarboKorea and HydroKorea. Here, we review the pioneering work of FIFE (First ISLSCP Field Experiment) on scaling issues in a temperate grassland and discuss the lessons from it for the application to Gwangneung forest site.

비디오 데이터에서 움직임 객체에 대한 움직임 경로는 내용-기반 검색을 위해 비디오 데이터를 색인하는 데 있어 매우 중요한 역할을 한다. 따라서, 본 논문에서는 비디오 데이터에서 움직임 객체의 움직임 경로를 모델링하기 위한 새로운 시공간 표현 기법을 제안한다. 비디오 데이터를 위한 보다 효율적인 내용-기반 검색을 위해, 제안하는 기법은 시간, 공간 관계성과 더불어 일정 시간 간격 동안 움직인 객체의 이동 거리(moving distance)를 고려한다. 아울러, 제안하는 표현 기법에 기반하여 단일 움직임 객체의 움직임 경로와 다수 움직임 객체들의 움직임 경로를 위한 새로운 유사성 측정 알고리즘을 제시하며, 이들 알고리즘은 검색 결과에 대해서 유사성에 준하여 순위(Ranking)를 부여할 수 있다. 마지막으로, 성능 평가를 통하여 제안된 시공간 표현 기법은 기조의 Li 방법과 Shan의 방법에 비해 동등한 재현율을 유지하며, 정확율 측면에서 약 20%의 성능 향상을 보인다.

A spatio-temporal vector channel model is introduced for the position location (PL) estimation problem for CDMA cellular system environment. Two common ways for the PL make use of the AOA (Angle Of Arrival) and TDOA (Time Difference Of Arrival) from a subscriber to the multiple sensors (base stations). In this paper, we applied the derived vector channel to simulate the multipath channel for the angle of the signal arrival in CDMA systems. Cross-correlation method is a good candidate among other direction finding algorithms available in literature, especially in wideband modulation as in the CDMA system. The PL estimation errors are evaluated for different channels, which are obtained as a parameter of scattering radius of the suggested model. We noted that the number of sensors (base-stations) are related to the PL errors in favor of the available data.

RFID는 라디오 주파수 기반의 자동 인식 데이터 수집 장치로서 유비쿼터스 컴퓨팅 기반 기술의 핵심 분야이다. RFID 태그(전자태그)가 부착된 개체의 위치를 저장할 수 있기 때문에 시간에 따라 위치가 변하는 이동체와 유사하다. 그러나 태그 객체는 판독기(reader)의 위치로 인식되며 일정 수 이상의 객체들이 같은 시간에 함께 이동하는 특징을 가지기 때문에 기존의 이동체 모델링 방법을 사용하여 전자 태그 객체를 표현하면 색인의 성능이 저하되는 문제가 발생한다. 이 논문에서는 시공간 질의를 처리하는 색인의 성능을 개선하기 위하여 태그 객체의 특징을 반영한 모델링 기법을 제안한다. 제안한 모델링 기법에서 간격 데이터 개념을 기반으로 시간과 공간 도메인 외에 식별자 도메인을 추가하여 태그 객체를 표현한다. 그리고 세 가지 도메인을 이용하여 태그 객체에 대한 색인을 구성한다.

In order to properly evaluate the spatio-temporal variations of groundwater flow, the data obtained in field experiments should be corroborated into numerical simulations. Particle tracking method is a simple simulation tool often employed in groundwater simulation to predict groundwater flow paths or solute transport paths. Particle tracking simulations visually show overall the particle flow path along the entire aquifer, but no previous simulation studies has yet described the parameter values at grid nodes around the particle path. Therefore, in this study, a new technical approach was proposed that enables acquisition of parameters associated with particle transport in grid nodes distributed in the center of the particle path in groundwater. Since the particle tracking path is commonly referred to as streamline, the algorithm and codes developed in this works designated streamline analysis method. The streamline analysis method can be applied in two-dimensional and three-dimensional finite element or finite difference grid networks, and can be utilized not only in the groundwater field but also in all fields that perform numerical modeling.

Recently, there are interested in the automatic traffic flowing and accident detection using various low level information from video in the road. In this paper, the automatic traffic flowing and algorithm, and application of traffic accident detection using traffic management systems are studied. To achieve these purposes, the spatio-temporal relation models using topological and directional relations have been made, then a matching of the proposed models with the directional motion verbs proposed by Levin's verbs of inherently directed motion is applied. Finally, the synonym and antonym are inserted by using WordNet. For the similarity measuring between proposed modeling and trajectory of moving object in the video, the objects are extracted, and then compared with the trajectories of moving objects by the proposed modeling. Because of the different features with each proposed modeling, the rules that have been generated will be applied to the similarity measurement by TSR (Tangent Space Representation). Through this research, we can extend our results to the automatic accident detection of vehicle using CCTV.

Cellular Automata(CA) have been investigated and utilized as a theoretical framework and/or methodology for analyzing and simulating the properties and behaviors of many complex systems in various physical science and engineering field. Due to the conceptual elegance and effectiveness of implementing spatio-temporal dynamic models and the compatibility with raster GISs, recently a variety of modeling works using both CA and GIS have been published in GIS fields Most of spatial dynamic models introduced in previous research, however, were very limited and furthermore integrated CA-GIS system for practical modeling purpose are not developed yet. This study aims to develop an integrated CA-GIS system in which a CA simulator is used as an analytical engine for GIS providing a multipurpose spatial dynamic modeling functionalities. This integrated CA-GIS system is anticipated radically enhancing the current lacking dynamic modeling functionalities of GIS and being utilized as an powerful and effective tool for practical spatial dynamic modeling research.

This study aims to estimate chlorophyll-a concentration in rivers using multi-spectral RapidEye imagery and Spectral Mixture Analysis (SMA) and assess the applicability of SMA for multi-temporal imagery analysis. Comparison between images (acquired on Oct. and Nov., 2013) predicted and ground reference chlorophyll-a concentration showed significant performance statistically with determination coefficients of 0.49 and 0.51, respectively. Two band (Red-RE) model for the October and November 2013 RapidEye images showed low performance with coefficient of determinations ($R^2$) of 0.26 and 0.16, respectively. Also Three band (Red-RE-NIR) model showed different performance with $R^2$ of 0.016 and 0.304, respectively. SMA derived Chlorophyll-a concentrations showed relatively higher accuracy than band ratio models based values. SMA was the most appropriate method to calculate Chlorophyll-a concentration using images which were acquired on period of low Chlorophyll-a concentrations. The results of SMA for multi-temporal imagery showed low performance because of the spatio-temporal variation of each end members. This approach provides the potential of providing a cost effective method of monitoring river water quality and management using multi-spectral imagery. In addition, the calculated Chlorophyll-a concentrations using multi-spectral RapidEye imagery can be applied to water quality modeling, enhancing the predicting accuracy.
