  • This paper describes visual tracking procedure of the underwater mobile robot for nuclear reactor vessel inspection, which is required to find the foreign objects such as loose parts. The yellowish underwater robot body tends to present a big contrast to boron solute cold water of nuclear reactor vessel, tinged with indigo by Cerenkov effect. In this paper, we have found and tracked the positions of underwater mobile robot using the two color information, yellow and indigo. The center coordinates extraction procedures are as follows. The first step is to segment the underwater robot body to cold water with indigo background. From the RGB color components of the entire monitoring image taken with the color CCD camera, we have selected the red color component. In the selected red image, we extracted the positions of the underwater mobile robot using the following process sequences; binarization, labelling, and centroid extraction techniques. In the experiment carried out at the Youngkwang unit 5 nuclear reactor vessel, we have tracked the center positions of the underwater robot submerged near the cold leg and the hot leg way, which is fathomed to 10m deep in depth.

  • A visual analysis approach and the developed supporting technology provide a comprehensive solution for analyzing large and complex integrated genomic and biomedical data. This paper presents a methodology that is implemented as an interactive visual analysis technology for extracting knowledge from complex genetic and clinical data and then visualizing it in a meaningful and interpretable way. By synergizing the domain knowledge into development and analysis processes, we have developed a comprehensive tool that supports a seamless patient-to-patient analysis, from an overview of the patient population in the similarity space to the detailed views of genes. The system consists of multiple components enabling the complete analysis process, including data mining, interactive visualization, analytical views, and gene comparison. We demonstrate our approach with medical scientists on a case study of childhood cancer patients on how they use the tool to confirm existing hypotheses and to discover new scientific insights.

  • To develop the Korean-Version-Improvement program for ordinary people, we investigate how Korean-High-Intelligent people use their cognitive function, intellectual capacity and Intelligent Quotient test. Using Mensa iq test, we classify intelligent examination tool into various components; visual, geometrical component and cognitive interpretation component. Also we organized each component, got database of intelligent subjects sample, classified itemized availability. Based on these things, we prove efficiency of intelligent examination tool. We found out that high intelligent people showed high Intelligent Index using visual cognitive stimulation with cognitive function when subjects were exposed to certain situation; solving the problem. This intelligent examination tool is low price and safe and easily carrying out with personal computer. If we develop intelligence quotient examination customized with mental retardation populations, a variety of subjects will improve their cognition with efficiency and inexpensively.

  • A visual concurrent programming environment, called ESTGVP is designed and implemented, which is easy to understand, highly portable, and can represent parallel behaviors. For our purpose, a conventional state transition graph is extended so as to enable both of synchronous and asynchronous parallel operations. We call it extended state transition graph (ESTG). ESTGVP uses the ESTG and texts for programming, and makes it easy programming sequential and parallel behaviors. Also, it is easy to understand the control structure of a program because ESTGVP is a visual programming environment based on the graph. ESTGVP is written in Tel language and thus it is highly portable on various operating systems. It consists of three major components; edition, transformation and execution. If necessary, ESTG can be transformed into C or Tel language, and its execution is based on Tel.

  • The reliability of a Bridge management System depends on the quality of visual inspection and the reliable estimation of bridge condition rating. However, the current practices of visual inspection have been identified with several limitations, such as: they are time-consuming, provide incomplete information, and their reliance on inspectors' experience. To overcome such limitations, this paper presents an approach of automating the prediction of condition rating for bridges based on digital image analysis. The proposed methodology encompasses image acquisition, development of 3D visualization model, image processing, and condition rating model. Under this method, scaling defect in concrete bridge components is considered as a candidate defect and the guidelines in the Ontario Structure Inspection Manual (OSIM) have been adopted for developing and testing the proposed method. The automated algorithms for scaling depth prediction and mapping of condition ratings are based on training of back propagation neural networks. The result of developed models showed better prediction capability of condition rating over the existing methods such as, Naïve Bayes Classifiers and Bagged Decision Tree.

  • In this paper, Gabor cosine and sine transform considered as human visual filter is applied to watermarking methods for digital images. Four algorithms by using singular values or principal components of SVD in the frequency domain are proposed for watermark embedding and extraction. Two dimensional image is used as an embedded watermark. To measure the similarity between the embedded watermark image and the extracted one, a normalized correlation value is computed for the comparison of the four proposed methods with various attacks. Extracted watermark images are also provided for visual inspection. The proposed GCST-SVD method which embeds a watermark image into the lowest vertical or horizontal ac frequency band can provide useful watermarking algorithm with high correlation values and visual watermark features from experimental results for various attacks.

  • About 25% of overall energy use of Korea had been spent in buildings. It is crucial to acknowledge the importance of saving energy in buildings. In order to save energy, it is important to predict accurate energy use. There are numerous energy simulation program that predicts both energy load and energy use. The problem of the energy simulation program is that it holds too many input variables, and it needs experts to model a building. So, our purpose of this study is to develop the simplified thermal load calculation program for building energy analysis which eliminates coordinates of building components instead of using full coordinates by using DOE2. Since the engine of the program is DOE2, we verified the validity of S-DOE by comparing peak heating & cooling load results and annual energy use results. The results shows that there are little difference between VisualDOE and S-DOE. Also it showed that S-DOE took less time to input variables than VisualDOE. These results reveals that the application of S-DOE is possible to accurately predict energy load and energy use of the building and still have strong point that it takes less time to analyse building energy.

  • The trailer is an advertising process that requires systematic fabrication in the planning process. However, the role of sufficient consideration of the specialty of the merchandise, and the study of the quality of the merchandise, can serve as an effective advertisement. Therefore, a trailer from a marketing standpoint should effectively express the components that need to be delivered to potential audiences within a brief running time. Want to see if the rhythm of the trailers can be tangible, and how it affects receivers.

  • Data structure and algorithm are primary courses for computer programming instruction. However, now those are not interesting courses for students because the programming instruction methodologies that used these courses are not the proper methodologies for the visual and windows programming. The Sorting programming is the same as other data structures. Therefore, we developed the VTSPI (Visualization Tool for Sorting Programming Instruction) which is a software component to instruct sorting program effectively for solving these problems. As a result, students can code, understand and debug their programs because VTPSI is software components based on visual programming.
