Visual features of lip area play an important role in the visual speech information. We are concerned about correct lip area as region of interest (ROI). In this paper, we propose a robust and fast method for locating the mouth corners. Also, we define a region of interest at mouth during speech. A method, which we have used, only uses the horizontal and vertical image operators at mouth area. This searching is performed by fitting the ROI-template to image with illumination control. Most of the lip extraction algorithms are dependent on luminosity of image. We just used the binary image where the variable threshold is applied. The variable threshold varies to illumination condition. In order to control those variations, the gray-tone is converted to binary image by threshold, which is obtained through Multiple Linear Regression Analysis (MLRA) about divided 2D special region. Thus we obtained the region of interest at mouth area, which is the robust extraction about illumination. A region of interest is automatically extracted.

The frequency analysis and the probability plot were applied to heavy metal contents of soils collected from the Goseong Cu mine area as a statistic method for the determination of the threshold value which was able to partition a population comprising largely dispersed heavy metal contents into the background and the anomalous populations. Almost all the heavy metal contents of soil showed a positively skewed distributions and their cumulative percentage frequencies plotted as a curved lines on logarithmic probability plot which represent a mixture of two or more overlapping populations. Total Cu, Pb and Cd data and extractable Cu and Pb data could be partitioned into background and anomalous populations by using the inflection in each curve. The others showed a normally distributed population or an largely overlapped populations. The threshold values obtained from replotted frequency distributions with the partitioned populations were Cu 400 mg/kg, Pb 450 mg/kg and Cd 3.5 mg/kg in total contents and Cu 40 mg/kg and Pb 12 mg/kg in extractable contents, respectively. The thresholds for total contents are much higher than the tolerable level of soil pollution proposed by Kloke(Cu 100 mg/kg, Pb 100 mg/kg, Cd 3 mg/kg), but those for extractable contents are not exceeded the worrying level of soil pollution proposed by Ministry of Environment(Cu 50 mg/kg, Pb 100 mg/kg). When the threshold values were used as the criteria of soil pollution in the study area, $9{\sim}19%$ of investigated soil population was in polluted level. The spatial distributions of heavy metal contents greater than threshold values showed that polluted soils with heavy metals are restricted within the mountain soils in the vicinity of abandoned mines.

In this paper, the selective use of RTS and CTS frames is considered to analyze the capacity of IEEE 802.11 WLAN (Wireless Local Area Network). The RTS and CTS frames are used to transmit the data frames longer than dot11RTSThreshold according to IEEE 802.11 specification. The analysis of the optimal RTS-CTS threshold is derived to maximize the capacity of IEEE 802.11 WLAN. And, numerical examples are also presented for IEEE 802.11 a and b WLANs.

지형은 강우시 유역의 유출반응을 결정하는 중요한 인자이다. 유역분석에서 하천망은 중요한 지형 매개변수이다. DEM격자 크기와 배수누적 행렬의 흐름누적 임계값은 격자 DEM를 이용하여 추출된 하천망에 영향을 미친다. 따라서 DEM에 의해서 추출된 하천망의 배수 밀도는 선택된 DEM 격자크기와 흐름누적 임계값에 따라 다양하다. 일반적으로 작은 흐름누적 임계값은 높은 배수밀도를 가지는 아주 세부적인 하천망을 만들어 내고, 큰 임계값은 조잡한 하천망을 만들어 낸다. 이 연구에서는 연구대상지역에서 총 하천길이가 각각의 DEM 격자크기에 대해 흐름누적 임계값을 계산하는데 이용되었다. 하천망은 흐름누적 임계값을 적용하여 각각의 DEM 격자크기에 대해 추출되었으며, 흐름누적 임계값과 각각의 DEM 격자크기에 연관성이 회귀방정식으로 도출되었다.

The percolation of interfacial transition zone (ITZ) in cementitious materials is of great importance to the transport properties and durability issues. This paper presents numerical simulation research on the ITZ percolation threshold of mortar specimens at meso-scale. To simulate the meso-scale model of mortar as realistically as possible, the aggregates are simplified as ellipsoids with arbitrary orientations. Major and minor aspect ratios are defined to represent the global shape characteristics of aggregates. Some algorithms such as the burning algorithm, Dijkstra's algorithm and Connected-Component Labeling (CCL) algorithm are adopted for identification of connected ITZ clusters and percolation detection. The effects of gradation and aspect ratios of aggregates on ITZ percolation threshold are quantitatively studied. The results show that (1) the ITZ percolation threshold is mainly affected by the specific surface area (SSA) of aggregates and shows a global decreasing tendency with an increasing SSA; (2) elongated ellipsoidal particles can effectively bridge isolated ITZ clusters and thus lower the ITZ percolation threshold; (3) as ITZ volume fraction increases, the bridging effect of elongated particles will be less significant, and has only a minor effect on ITZ percolation threshold; (4) it is the ITZ connectivity that is essentially responsible for ITZ percolation threshold, while other factors such as SSA and ITZ volume fraction are only the superficial reasons.

얼굴검출은 얼굴인식과 비디오감시 시스템, HCI등 응용분야가 다양하므로 많은 연구가 필요하다. 따라서, 본 논문에서는 실시간으로 얼굴을 검출하기 위하여 카메라에서 연속 얼굴 영상을 획득 한 후, 이 영상을 YCbCr 칼라 공간으로 변환하였다. 변환된 칼라 공간에서는 필터를 이용하여 피부색만을 분리하여 연결성분 분석으로 얼굴후보 블록을 결정하였다. 또한 외부 환경 변화에 영향을 받지 않기 위해 밝기 분포 평준화를 수행하였다. 밝기 분포를 평준화한 영상에서는 눈 영역이 다른 영역에 비해 뚜렷하게 구별되기 때문에 임의의 임계값을 적용하여 이진화 영상으로 변환 후 눈 검출을 할 수 있었다. 순차 임계값은 낮은 값에서부터 순차적으로 값을 증가시키면서 눈을 검출하고, 실패하였을 경우는 임계값이 조정되어 다시 눈을 검출한다. 순차 임계법에 의해 검출된 눈 영역은 정규화과정을 거친 후 역전파 알고리듬을 이용하여 눈 검증을 실시하고, 최종적으로 얼굴 검출을 수행하였다.

Proper determination of pacing threshold is important for patient safety and pacemaker longevity. In general, cardiac muscle contractions caused by pacing pulses are verified by observing the morphology of surface ECG displayed on a monitor. In this study, a method of automatic pacing threshold determination based on morphological difference between intrinsic and paced ECGs was developed. First, characteristics of intrinsic ECG and paced ECG were analyzed in time and frequency domain and a proper discrimination parameter was extracted. Then, the automatic capture verification method based on the parameter was developed and applied to 23 pacemaker patients. The selected parameter was the area of ventricular depolarization wave during 80ms after pacing stimulus. It was found that the method was reliable and effective in identifying paced ECG and, thereby, determing a proper pacing threshold.

This study was designed to evaluate anthropometric measurement, blood pressure, salt threshold and salt preference of children living at orphan home in Seoul and Kangnung. Anthropometric data of the subjects were slightly lower than the Korean standards, and those of children in Seoul were slightly higher than those of children in Kangnung. There were no differences in salt threshold and salt preference between Seoul and Kangnung. Blood pressure had positive correlation that partialled out of age with various anthropometric measurements(body weight, mid-arm circumference, girth of chest, BMI and body surface area), but did not correlated to salt threshold and salt preference.
