Several seismic traces of earthquakes observed from the digital new type seismograph instruments of KMA in 2000 were scanned. From these, good quality data which have high signal/noise ratio were selected and they were transformed into ascii data from binary data(min-seed format). The hypo71 program and P-S was applied in order to determine the location of epicenter, origin time and the magnitude. From these data, the 29 earthquakes, 358 seismic records consist of 587 directional components were calculated. Using these, ground acceleration data, acceleration, velocity, and displacemnet response spectrums of the structures were calculated and they could be represented in a picture by the form of tripartite response spectrum. In the result, response spectrums of the 587 directional components of the above seismic data records were obtained respectively.

In this study digital holographic microscopy system for measurements of 3-D velocities of particles in MR fluid is developed. Holograms are recorded using either a CCD camera with a double pulse laser or a high-speed camera with a continuous laser. To process recorded holograms, the correlation coefficient method is used for focal plane determination of particles. To remove noise and improve the quality of holograms and reconstructed images, a Wiener filter is adopted. The two-threshold and image segmentation methods are used for binary image transformation. For particle pairing, the match probability method is adopted. The developed system will be applied to measurements of the characteristics of unsteady 3-D particle velocities in MR fluids through the next stage of this study.

This paper presents a new method of segmenting characters in a car licence plate which is less influenced by illumination variation. It uses an anisotropic filter to reduce the lighting noise and a histogram specification scheme to obtain the binary image. Anisotropic smoothing filter process the input images, which are acquired under different lighting conditions, so that they may have similar image quality. The enhanced performance of the proposed algorithm has been proved by the experiment.

Pattern recognition in three dimensional image is highly sensitive to assigned value and formation of voxels (pixels for two dimension case). However, occurred while digital imaging, digitization error leads to unpredictable noises in image data. Skeletonization, a powerful tool of pattern recognition, is sensitively dependent on boundary formation. Without successful controlling of the noises, the results of skeletonization can not be allowed as a stable solution. To minimize the effect of noises affecting to boundary formation, we developed a robust processing method useful in skeletonization technique for pattern recognition. Finally, we provide rigorous test results achieved throughout simulation on analytic three dimensional image.

The automatic pinhole detection system is described. The goal of this project is to study the feasibility test of the new concept for hole detection. The developed method is able to detect almost 50$\mu\textrm{m}$ pinhole by evaluating the shining of the light as if there is pinhole in the strip. Moreover, it is possible to inspect up to the 200$\mu\textrm{m}$ inclined pinhole. The system cosists of three main functional parts: the source part of the light which is using the linear halogen lamp, the image gathering part which is using a line CCD and the image processing part. The light spot can be controlled and optimized corresponding to the situation of the strip. To eliminate back ground noise, the binary image processing method is adopted.

This paper proposes a new measure of cost function ruggedness in local optimization with DEAS. DEAS is a computational optimization method developed since 2002 and has been applied to various engineering fields with success. Since DEAS is a recent optimization method which is rarely introduced in Korean, this paper first provides a brief overview and description of DEAS. In minimizing cost function with this non-gradient method, information on function shape measured automatically will enhance search capability. Considering the search strategies of DEAS are well designed with binary matrix structures, analysis of search behaviors will produce beneficial shape information. This paper deals with a simple quadratic function contained with various magnitudes of noise, and DEAS finds local minimum yielding ruggedness measure of given cost function. The proposed shape information will be directly used in improving DEAS performance in future work.

In this study, two types of the direct digital frequency synthesizers (DDFS) designed and implemented using 1.0.mu.m CMOS gatearray(SOG) technolgoies are interoduced. To analize the effect of the number of phase bits(L), address data bits(A), and DAC bits (D) on the output spectrums of the DDFSs, the NCO-based BCD-DDFS composed of L=24, A=14, and D=8, and the improved binary-DDFS composed of L=24, A=8, and D=10 have been studied. The chips have been designed with and without a noise shapper to reduce spurious noises due to phase truncation and reduced sine ROM in output spectrum.

This paper studies the application of a fuzzy-ARTMAP neural network to digital communications channel equalization. This approach provides new solutions for solving the problems, such as complexity and long training, which found when implementing the previously developed neural-basis equalizers. The proposed fuzzy-ARTMAP equalizer is fast and easy to train and includes capabilities not found in other neural network approaches; a small number of parameters, no requirements for the choice of initial weights, automatic increase of hidden units, no risk of getting trapped in local minima, and the capability of adding new data without retraining previously trained data. In simulation studies, binary signals were generated at random in a linear channel with Gaussian noise. The performance of the proposed equalizer is compared with other neural net basis equalizers, specifically MLP and RBF equalizers.

Data storage related with writing and retrieving requires high storage capacity, fast transfer rate and less access time. Today any data storage system cannot satisfy these conditions, however holographic data storage system can perform faster data transfer rate because it is a page oriented memory system using volume hologram in writing and retrieving data. System can be constructed without mechanical actuating part so fast data transfer rate and high storage capacity about 1Tb/cm3 can be realized. In this research, to correct errors of binary data stored in holographic data storage system, a new method for reduction errors is suggested. First, find cluster centers using subtractive clustering algorithm then reduce intensities of pixels around cluster centers. By using this error reduction method following results are obtained ; the effect of Inter Pixel Interference noise in the holographic data storage system is decreased and the intensity profile of data page becomes uniform therefore the better data storage system can be constructed.

A vehicle license plate includes the most important information for recognition and classification of the vehicle. In this paper, we propose a vehicle license plate recognition system using image binarization and template matching. In the proposed system, an image of the vehicle license plate is converted into a gray scale image and the gray image undergoes the binarization process. Finally, the numbers on the plate are extracted from the binary image using the template matching algorithm.
