In this paper, we propose a post-processing method to reduce the blocking artifacts. We perform the post-processing only in the spatial domain so that it is readily applicable to real-time video decoder. Many approaches proposed so far for deblocking deal with only The luminance signal. but here we propose processing the chrominance signals as well since the low bit rare application where the blocking artifacts are most problematic suffers significantly from the color misalignment caused by blocking artifacts occurring to chrominance data as well. The proposed method is composed of low pass filtering in two steps considering the edge direction. The first step is the IIR low pass filtering in the diagonal direction, and the second step is another IIR low pass filtering in horizontal and vertical directions.

In this paper, an efficient algorithm is proposed which recognizes the mixed document consisting of the printed Korean/alphanumeric texts and graphic images. In the preprocessing step an input document is aligned if necessary by rotating it. We obtain the rotation angle using the Hough transform and align the input document horizontally. Then we separate graphic image parts from text parts by considering chain codes of connected components. We further separate each character using vertical and horizontal projections. In the recognition step Korean and alphanumeric characters are classified and each of them is recognized hierarchically using several features. In summary an efficient recognition algorithm for mixed documents is proposed and its performance is demonstrated via computer simulations.

In this paper, we investigated the recognition range according to modulation index for the ISO(International Standards Organization) 14443 13.56MHz contactless Type B RFID(Radio Frequency IDentification) system. We measured recognition range with changing modulation index step by step from 5% to 24% where we used 4 samples of Type B transponder with different resonance frequencies between 13.838MHz and 17.200MHz. While gradually increasing a distance in vertical direction from the center of the reader antenna, we measured the distance where the transponder's PUPI(Pseudo Unique PICC(Proximity IC Card) Identifier) is recognized continuously during 10 seconds and the distance where the transponder's PUPI is recognized at least two times during 5 seconds. From the measurement results, we found that the best recognition ranges were achieved when the reader had modulation index between 11% and 14%.

Finite Element Method for 3-D static loaded passenger car tire on the rigid surface is performed for studying the stiffness of tire to compare with experimental data. The tire elements used for FEM are defined each component to allow an easy change for the design parameters. Also, a hyperelastic material which is composed of tread and sidewall has been used to consider a large deformation of rubber components. The orthotropic characters of rubber-cord composite materials are used as well. The air pressure, a vertical and a lateral load are applied step by step and iterated by Modified Newton method for geometric and boundary condition nonlinear simulation. This study shows nonlinear analysis method for tire and the bearing capacity of tire due to the external force.

Chlorine-containing modified polyester polyols were synthesized by two-step condensation reactions. Intermediate was synthesized by the esterification of monochloroacetic acid with trimethylolpropane in the first step. Polycondensation of the intermediate (MCAOs), 1,4-butanediol, and trimethylolpropane with adipic acid was carried out. Two-component polyurethane (PU) coatings were prepared by blending MCAOs and IPDI-isocyanurate. There new flame-retardant coatings showed various properties comparable to other non-flame-retardant coatings. They were superior to flammable coatings from the experimental results showing rapid and 10 to 13 hours of pot-life. Coatings with 30wt% monochloroacetic acid was not flammable by the vertical flame retardancy test.

Extensive width reduction of slabs is an important technology for achieving continuous production between the steelmaking and hot rolling processes. However, the vertical horizontal rolling process has many disadvantages, e.g., large width deviations and less efficient width reduction. This study was carried out to investigate the deformation of slab by sizing press with two steps die. To do it, dog-bone and camber are discussed in width sizing process considering the deformation behavior according to the deviation of anvil velocity and the deviation of initial slab temperature. In this paper, the various causes of the sizing press phenomena are mentioned for the purpose of understanding of rolling conditions. As a result, the optimal anvil shape having a minimum-forming load is obtained by FE-simulation and ANN.

The Smart bi-directional pile load test with variable end plate overcomes the shortcoming of the Osterberg cell test. It is possible that the ultimate bearing capacity of piles can be known by using two different end plates. The first step is to measure end bearing capacity with smaller end plate and the second step is similar to the conventional O-cell test. In this study, model test was performed to evaluate the smart bi-directional pile load test in sand. Vertical displacement of the model pile were messured at the axial loading condition.

This paper presents recognition of raised alphanumeric markings on rubber tires for their automatic classification. Raised alphanumeric markings on rubber tires have different characteristics as compared to those of printed characters. In the preprocessing step, we first determine the rotation angle using the Hough transform and align markings, then separate each character using vertical and horizontal projections. In the recognition step, we use several features such as width of a character, cross point, partial projection, and distance feature to recognize characters hierarchically. The computer simulation result shows that the proposed system can be successfully applied to the industrial automation of rubber tires classification.

In this study a vibration isolation system with the cradle-type support was designed so as to reduce the transient vibration due to positioning motion of the moving mass on worktable as well as to achieve the desired isolation efficiency on the floor vibration. The design procedure was performed in the two steps. The first step to select appropriate isolators to meet the isolation efficiency, and the second step is to reduce the transient vibration of the worktable by adopting the cradle-type support. After the application of the selected isolators with the cradle-type support to the system it was shown that the required vibration criterion(VC-D) was easily satisfied and that the undesirable transient vibration was reduced remarkably.

In this paper, we propose a new stereoscopic video conversion methodology that converts two-dimensional (2-D) MPEG-4 video to stereoscopic video. In MPEG-4, each Image is composed of background object and primary object. In the first step of the conversion methodology, the camera motion type is determined for stereo Image generation. In the second step, the object-based stereo image generation is carried out. The background object makes use of a current image and a delayed image for its stereo image generation. On the other hand, the primary object uses a current image and its horizontally-shifted version to avoid the possible vertical parallax that could happen. Furthermore, URFA(Uncovered Region Filling Algorithm) is applied in the uncovered region which might be created after the stereo image generation of a primary object. In our experiment, show MPEG-4 test video and its stereoscopic video based upon out proposed methodology and analyze Its results.
