In the industrial vision systems, image correction has great influence on the overall performance of measurement or inspection. The overall area of distorted image is usually splitted into small control areas, and each area is corrected by its control points. The performance of correction methods using control points can be improved by reduction of control areas because the computational time and memory highly depend on the number of control areas. We develop a merging algorithm that reduces control areas and preserves the correction accuracy. The algorithm merges the splitted control areas by use of quad tree method. Experimental results are presented to verify the usefulness of the proposed method.

Discussions on this paper are related to the effects of organic materials to treeing phenomena of low density polyethylene. As additives, 11 kinds of organic compounds are selected by considering the respective features such as melting point, boiling point, electron affinity as well as molecular structure, and then the specimens of low density polyethylene are prepared by blending with 10wt% of the selected additives. For the comparison of effectiveness of treeing resistance and interpretation of the mechanism of compounds as treeing retardants, several investigations such as the tree acceleration test, the prestressed test and the measurement of internally occurred partial discharge are carried out. As the results, meta-Cresol is regard as the most effective retardant among those, and it is supposed that this aromatic compound to be comprised of radical having large electron affinity has strong capability to accept energetic electron to prevent or delay the growth of discharge streamer. Furthermore, by activating partial discharge at the wall of tree pit through the function of trapped electron at this material, the gas pressure in the pit is increased up to prevent the growth of streamer.

This study deals with the application of knowledge-based engineering and a methodology for the assessment & measurement of reliability, availability, maintainability, and safety of industrial systems using fault-tree representation. A fuzzy methodology for fault-tree evaluation seems to be an alternative solution to overcome the drawbacks of the conventional approach. To improve the quality of results, the membership functions must be approximated based on heuristic considerations. Conventionally, it is not always easy to obtain a system reliability for components with different individual failure probability density functions(p.d.f.), We utilize fuzzy set theory to solve the adequacy of the conventional probability in accounting and processing of built-in uncertainties in the probabilistic data. The purpose of this study is to propose the framework of knowledge-based engineering through integrating the various sources of knowledge involved in a FTA.

Tree species-specific estimates with spacebome high-resolution imagery improve estimation of forest biomass which is needed to predict the long term planning for the sustainable forest management(SFM). This paper is a contribution to develop crown distinguishing coniferous species, Pinus densiflora and Pinus koraiensis, from QuickBird imagery. The proposed feature analysis derived from shape parameters and first and second-order statistical texture features of the same test area were compared for the two species separation and delineation. As expected, initial studies have shown that both formfactor and compactness shape parameters provided the successful differentiating method between the pine species within the compartment for single crown identification from spaceborne high resolution imagery. Another result revealed that the selected texture parameters - the mean, variance, angular second moment(ASM) - in the infrared band image could produce good subset combination of texture features for representing detailed tree crown outline.

수목을 3차원 구조로 정량화하는 것은 다양한 환경분석 모델링의 입력 자료로써 매우 중요하다. 그러나 3차원 측량이 가능한 라이다는 고비용과 전문인력이 필요해 파편화된 소규모의 도시녹지를 측량하기에는 경제적 장비운용적 차원에서 현실적이지 않다. 또한 수목은 계절에 따라 민감하게 변화하므로 시계열 모니터링으로 도시생태계를 이해하려면 높은 빈도로 쉽고 빠르게 수관구조를 측량할 수 있는 디바이스와 이에 맞는 정량화기법의 개발이 필요하다. 환경분석 모델링의 입력 자료로써의 필요가 아니더라도, 도시내 수목의 크기와 나이는 관리비용, 생태계서비스, 경관, 안전 등과 직결되므로 반드시 정보화될 필요성이 있다. 본 연구에서는 도시내 수목의 3차원 환경정보 데이터를 생성하기 위한 디바이스와 방법론으로써 UAV(Unmanned Aerial Vehicle)와 SfM-MVS(Structure from Motion-Multi View Stereo), solid modeling을 제시하였다. 따라서 제시된 device와 방법론의 검증을 목표로 하여 다음과 같이 분석을 수행하였다. 첫째, stereo image들로부터 생성된 point cloud로 측량한 결과의 정확도를 지상 라이다 자료와 비교 검증하였다. 두 번째, UAV촬영 사진개수를 감소시킴에 따라 변화하는 point cloud의 밀도가 수목의 부피 및 크기 정량화 결과에 어떤 영향을 주는지를 살펴봄으로써 고해상도의 point cloud가 정밀한 수목 측량에 꼭 필요한 요소인지를 확인하여 보았다. 마지막으로, 수목 부피의 정량화 및 형상화를 위해 solid model이 얼마나 적합한가를 검증하고자 다른 3D type의 측정치와 비교하였다. 분석의 결과를 통해, UAV와 SfM-MVS 그리고 solid model을 이용하면 단일수목을 손쉽게 저비용 높은 시간해상도로 정량화 및 형상화가 가능함을 확인하였다. 다만, 본 연구는 단일 개체목만을 대상으로 한 연구이므로 더 넓은 녹지에 적용하기 위해서는 이에 맞는 비행계획의 수립, 다양한 공간정보 데이터와의 융합, 녹지규모 확대에 따른 정량화 기법의 개선 등 앞으로 이를 발전시킬 수 있는 후속연구가 필요하다.

효과적인 산림경영계획 수립을 위해서는 수고, 흉고직경 등 수목관리정보에 대한 조사가 필요하다. 하지만 기존의 산림조사 방법의 효율성을 향상시키기 위한 데이터 취득 기술의 융복합 및 적용에 대한 연구는 부족한 실정이다. 이에 본 연구에서는 3D 스캐너를 통해 취득되는 포인트클라우드 데이터를 활용하여 수목관리정보를 구축하고 분석하였다. 고정형 및 이동형 3D 스캐너를 이용하여 연구대상지에 대한 데이터를 취득하였으며, 작업시간 비교를 통해 이동형 3D 스캐너의 효율성을 제시하였다. 또한 포인트클라우드 데이터를 이용한 식생의 객체별 분류를 수행하고, 흉고직경 및 수고에 대한 정보를 구축함으로써 객체 관리가 가능한 수목관리정보를 구축하였다. 기존의 측정 방법과 비교한 정확도 평가 결과 수고는 0.02-0.09m, 흉고직경은 0.01-0.04m의 차이를 나타내었다. 향후 추가적인 연구를 통해 객체별 식생의 위치와 수관에 대한 정보를 구축한다면 산림관리정보 구축 관련 업무 효율성 증가에 기여할 것이다.

Characteristics of fruit tree canopies are important target information for adjusting the pesticide application rate in variable rate spraying in orchards. Therefore, the target detection of the canopy characteristics is very important. In this study, a canopy volume measurement method for peach trees was presented and a variable rate spraying system based on canopy volume measurement was developed using the ultrasonic sensing, one of the most effective target detection method. Ten ultrasonic sensors and two flow control units were mounted on the orchard air-assisted sprayer. The ultrasonic sensors were used to detect the canopy diameters and the flow controls were used to modify the flow rate of the nozzles in real time. Two treatments were established: a constant application rate of $300Lha^{-1}$ was set as the control treatment for the comparison with the variable rate application at a $0.095Lm^{-3}$ canopy. The tracer deposition at different parts of peach trees and the tracer losses to the ground (between rows and within rows) were analyzed in detail under constant rate and variable rate application. The results showed that there were no significant differences between two treatments in the liquid distribution and the capability to reach the inner parts of the crop canopies.

This paper proposes an innovative method for selection of measurement sets in static parameter identification of concrete or steel bridges. This method is proved as a systematic tool to address the first steps of Structural System Identification procedures by observability techniques: the selection of adequate measurement sets. The observability trees show graphically how the unknown estimates are successively calculated throughout the recursive process of the observability analysis. The observability trees can be proved as an intuitive and powerful tool for measurement selection in beam bridges that can also be applied in complex structures, such as cable-stayed bridges. Nevertheless, in these structures, the strong link among structural parameters advises to assume a set of simplifications to increase the tree intuitiveness. In addition, a set of guidelines are provided to facilitate the representation of the observability trees in this kind of structures. These guidelines are applied in bridges of growing complexity to explain how the characteristics of the geometry of the structure (e.g. deck inclination, type of pylon-deck connection, or the existence of stay cables) affect the observability trees. The importance of the observability trees is justified by a statistical analysis of measurement sets randomly selected. This study shows that, in the analyzed structure, the probability of selecting an adequate measurement set with a minimum number of measurements at random is practically negligible. Furthermore, even bigger measurement sets might not provide adequate SSI of the unknown parameters. Finally, to show the potential of the observability trees, a large-scale concrete cable-stayed bridge is also analyzed. The comparison with the number of measurements required in the literature shows again the advantages of using the proposed method.

The purpose of this study is to analyze the efficiency in management of general hospitals and investigate the major factors on efficiency. Specifically, the management of each general hospital is evaluated by using Data Envelopment Analysis(DEA) technique which is a nonparametric statistical method for measurement of efficiency. Then, the influencing factors are investigated through analyses of Decision-Tree Model and Tobit Regression. The target hospitals were general hospitals in which bed sizes are between 200 and 500 among a total of 276 general hospitals. The main data of financial indicators were collected from 48 hospitals, and it was analyzed by using two statistical models. For Model I, three input and two output variables were used for efficiency evaluation. In particular, three input variables were the number of medical doctors, the number of paramedical personnel, and the bed size. And, two output variables were the numbers of inpatients and outpatients per year, adjusted by bed-size. The results of DEA analysis showed that only seven out of 48 hospitals(15%) turned out to be efficient. The decision-tree analysis also showed that there were six significant influencing factors for Model I. Six factors for Model I were Bed Occupancy Rate, Cost per Adjusted Inpatient, New Visit Ratio of Outpatients, Retired Ratio, Net Profit to Gross Revenues, Net Profit to Total Assets. In addition, the management efficiency of hospital is proved to increase as profit and patient-induced indicators increase and cost-related indicators decrease, by the Tobit regression model of independent variables derived from the decision-tree analysis. This study may be contributable to the development of analytic methodology regarding the efficiency of hospital management in that it suggests the synthetic measures by utilizing DEA model instead of suggesting simple ratio-analyzing results.

본 연구는 초음파 측정법을 사용하여 부분방전에 의한 에폭시 몰드형 전력변압기의 열화상태을 진단하기 위해 에폭시수지의 트리진전에 초음파신호를 분석하였으며, 또한 열화시간에 따른 트리길이, 방전전하량 및 초음파 펄스수의 특성을 조사하였다. 실험 결과, 애폭시수지에 발생된 트리는 수지령이면, 인가전압 16[kV]에 대한 트리 길이 및 트리 폭의 평균성 장률은 각각 0.014 및 0.026[mm/min] 이였으며, 20[kV]의 경우 이들 값은 각각 0.032 및 0.063[mm/min]으로 더욱 증가된 것으로 나타났다. 열화중기 이후 트리가 성장함에 따라 초음파 펄스수 및 부분방전 전하량은 급격히 증가된 것으로 나타났다. 그리고 초음파 펄스수는 방전전하량에 비례하여 증가되었다. 또한 몰드형 전력변압기의 초음파 측정시 기본 데이터를 얻기 위해 초음파 발진 및 수신장치를 사용하여 에폭시수지에 대한 초음파신호의 감쇄, 시간지연 및 지향특성도 조사하였다.
