In this paper, we present a design and implementation of U-learning system using pen based augmented reality approach. Student has been given a smart pen and a smart study book, which is similar to the printed material already serviced. However, we print the study book using CMY inks, and embed perceptually invisible dot patterns using K ink. Smart pen includes (1) IR LED for illumination, IR pass filter for extracting the dot patterns, and (3) camera for image captures. From the image sequences, we perform topology analysis which determines the topological distance between dot pixels, and perform error correction decoding using four position symbols and five CRC symbols. When a student touches a smart study books with our smart pen, we show him/her multimedia (visual/audio) information which is exactly related with the selected region. Our scheme can embed 16 bit information, which is more than 200% larger than previous scheme, which supports 7 bits or 8 bits information.

경사면일사량은 수평면일사량과 해당위치 지형경사도 간의 기하학적 관계인 일사수광비율을 통해 추정할 수 있다. 그러나 이렇게 추정한 일사량은 주변에 햇빛을 차단하는 장애물이 없다는 것을 가정하기 때문에 만약 실제 농사를 짓고 있는 농장 등에 이를 적용할 경우에 지형으로 인한 차광 등의 영향을 충분히 반영하지 못한다. 음영기복도는 태양의 위치와 지형의 기복으로 인한 직달일사의 변이를 밝기(휘도)로 수치화한 격자 형태의 자료로서, 하나의 격자는 가장 어두운 값 0에서 가장 밝은 값 255까지의 값을 갖는다. 본 연구에서는 지형으로 인한 차광효과를 모의하기 위해 30m 해상도의 DEM을 이용하여 연구지역의 음영기복도를 제작하고 휘도 분석을 수행하였다. 연구지역에 설치된 AWS 22개 지점의 기상자료를 수집하여 일조율 80% 이상인 날을 선별하고, 관측일사량과 각 지점의 휘도를 비교하여 휘도가 지형으로 인한 차광효과를 설명할 수 있는지 확인하였다. 분석결과 휘도와 일사량 간에 상관관계가 있는 것을 확인하였으며, 지형의 영향이 큰 지점에서의 직달일사가 시작되는 시점과 끝나는 시점은 태양고도 보다는 휘도와 잘 부합하는 것으로 나타났다. 추가적인 연구를 통해 주변 지형의 영향을 반영한 휘도를 이용한 상세한 일사량 추정이 가능할 것으로 기대된다.

This paper proposes the analysis and design of a DC-side symmetrical zero-current-switching (ZCS) Class-D current-source driven resonant rectifier to improve the low power-factor and high line current harmonic distortion of lighting applications. An analysis of the junction capacitance effect of Class-D ZCS rectifier diodes, which has a significant impact on line current harmonic distortion, is discussed in this paper. The design procedure is based on the principle of the symmetrical Class-D ZCS rectifier, which ensures more accurate results and provides a more systematic and feasible analysis methodology. Improvement in the power quality is achieved by using the output characteristics of the DC-side Class-D ZCS rectifier, which is inserted between the front-end bridge-rectifier and the bulk-filter capacitor. By using this symmetrical topology, the conduction angle of the bridge-rectifier diode current is increased and the low line harmonic distortion and power-factor near unity were naturally achieved. The peak and ripple values of the line current are also reduced, which allows for a reduced filter-inductor volume of the electromagnetic interference (EMI) filter. In addition, low-cost standard-recovery diodes can be employed as a bridge-rectifier. The validity of the theoretical analysis is confirmed by simulation and experimental results.

In this paper, an isolated ZVS-PWM boost converter is proposed for single stage line conversion. For power factor correction, we used the half bridge topology at the primary side of isolation transformer permitting switching devices to operate under ZVS by using circuit parastics and operating at a fixed duty ratio near 50%. Thus the relatively continuous input current distortion and small size input filter are also achievable. The ZVS-PWM boost operation of the proposed converter can be achieved by using the boost inductor $L_f$, main switch $Q_3$, and simple auxiliary circuit at the secondary side of isolation transformer. The secondary side circuit differ from a conventional PWM boost converter by introduction a simple auxiliary circuit. The auxiliary circuit is actived only during a short switching transition time to create the ZVS condition for the main switch as that of the ZVT-PWM boost converter. With a single stage, it is possible to achieve a sinusoidal line current at unity power factor as well as the isolated 48V DC output. Comparing to the two stage schemes, overall effiency of the proposed converter is highly improved due to the effective ZVS of all devices as well as single stage power conversion. Thus, it can be operated at high switching frequency allowing use of small size input filter. Minimum voltage and current stress make it high power application possible.

Information-Centric Vehicular Ad Hoc Network (IC-VANET) is a promising network architecture for the future intelligent transport system. Video streaming applications over IC-VANET not only enrich infotainment services, but also provide the drivers and pedestrians real-time visual information to make proper decisions. However, due to the characteristics of wireless link and frequent change of the network topology, the packet loss seriously affects the quality of video streaming applications. In this paper, we propose a REceiver-Driven loss reCOvery Mechanism (REDCOM) to enhance video dissemination over IC-VANET. A Markov chain based estimation model is introduced to capture the real-time network condition. Based on the estimation result, the proposed REDCOM recovers the lost packets by requesting additional forward error correction packets. The REDCOM follows the receiver-driven model of IC-VANET and does not require the infrastructure support to efficiently overcome packet losses. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed REDCOM improves video quality under various network conditions.

This paper presents a novel soft-switching PWM utility frequency AC to high frequency AC power conversion circuit incorporating boost-half-bridge inverter topology, which is more suitable and acceptable for cost effective consumer induction heating applications. The operating principle and the operation modes are presented using the switching mode and the operating voltage and current waveforms. The performances of this high-frequency inverter using the latest IGBTs are illustrated, which includes high frequency power regulation and actual efficiency characteristics based on zero voltage soft switching (ZVS) operation ranges and the power dissipation as compared with those of the previously developed high-frequency inverter. In addition, a dual mode control scheme of this high frequency inverter based on asymmetrical pulse width modulation (PWM) and pulse density modulation (PDM) control scheme is discussed in this paper in order to extend the soft switching operation ranges and to improve the power conversion efficiency at the low power settings. The power converter practical effectiveness is substantially proved based on experimental results from practical design example.

In this paper, we propose a digital controller design process for the interleaved type of a boost PFC (Power Factor Correction) converter which can disperse the heat of the switching devices due to the interleaved topology. We establish a mathematical model of a boost PFC converter and propose a controller design method based on the root locus. The performance of the designed controller is verified by simulations. The measurement of the input voltage, inductor currents, and the converter output link voltage are needed for the control of the converter system which consists of a power unit and a control unit where a high-performance 32-bit microcontroller is used. The adjustment of A/D conversion timing is also needed to avoid high frequency noise generated when the switches on/off. It is illustrated by the real experiments that the designed control system with the properly adjusted ADC timing satisfies the given performance specifications of the interleaved boost PFC converter in the on-board slow battery charger.

Land is the only immovable property that can be used, as a means for agricultural production as well as a means for mortgage for financing industrial or commercial enterprises. Spatial technologies play a key role in managing our land, water and natural resources. Cadastral data is a major component for the development of Land Information System. Therefore, systematic land registration system based on accurate and scientific cadastral map are found inevitable for poverty alleviation, good governance and women empowerment through security of their rights on property, as well as the planning and development of a sustainable environmental protection within Metropolitan city. Digital cadastral parcel is the fundamental spatial unit on which database is designed, created, maintained and operated. Availability of accurate and updated cadastral maps is a primary requisite for successful planning, policy formulating and maintenance of city utility services, which need cadastral and utility information together. Flawed cadastral maps can put land, revenue and taxation system at stake. Kathmandu the capital city of Nepal still is lacking utility maps combining cadastral information with the utility. There is an urgent need to have an effective, accurate and easy to access land revenue and utility services system within the urban areas which could be achieved after the production of reliable base maps and land registration system to guarantee land allocation and property rights which can well be achieved by digital conversion and correction of base cadastral maps. This paper highlights the drawbacks of the conventional cadastral maps and the possible advantages of digital cadastral maps over these. Also the problems, issues and implications during digital conversion and creating database of the same will be discussed.

환자의 흉부 CT 영상을 입력으로 하여 폐 영역의 결절(nodule)을 효과적으로 분류하는 것이 목적인 컴퓨터 조력 진단(Computer Aided Diagnosis, CAD) 시스템에서는 대부분 폐 영역의 혈관 추출 단계가 우선적으로 진행된다. 혈관 조영제를 투여한 환자 영상에서 폐 혈관과 폐 결절은 흉부 CT 영상에서 비슷한 감쇄를 보이므로 혈관 추출 단계에서 혈관과 결절이 함께 추출될 수 있다. 때문에 폐 혈관이 제거된 나머지 영역에서 폐 결절을 탐지 및 분류하는 방식의 폐 결절 분류기는 혈관 추출 기법의 성능에 큰 영향을 받는다. 본 논문에서는 폐 결절이 혈관으로 오인식 되어 혈관과 함께 추출될 수 있는 문제를 극복하기 위해 혈관의 두께 패턴을 분석하여 폐 결절을 재분류하는 기법을 제안한다. 제안된 방법은 폐 영역 결정 단계, 폐 혈관 영역 추출 및 골격 형성 단계, 혈관 토폴로지 구성 및 보정 단계, 그리고 혈관 후보 내 결절 재분류 단계 등의 네 단계로 이루어져 있다. 제안한 방법의 정확도를 분석하기 위해 폐 결절이 혈관을 침투하여 분포하는 환자들의 입력 영상을 이용하여 판독 전문의의 도움을 받아 분류기의 정확도 평가를 진행하였다. 실험 결과에서는 제안한 혈관 추출 및 결절 재분류 기법을 사용한 CAD 시스템의 폐 결절 분류기 성능과 재분류 절차를 진행하지 않은 분류기 성능에 대해 비교하고 제안한 방법이 혈관 영역으로 잘못 포함된 결절을 자동으로 정확하게 재분류 할 수 있음을 보여준다.
