Solutions of inviscid rotational flows near the corners of an arbitrary angle and within a triangle of arbitrary shapes are presented. The corner-flow solutions has a rotational component as a particular solution. The addition of irrotatoinal components yields a general solution, which is indeterminate unless the far-field condition is imposed. When the corner angle is less than 90$^{\circ}$the flow asymptotically becomes rotational. For the corner angle larger than 90$^{\circ}$it tends to become irrotational. The general solution for the corner flow is then applied to rotational flows within a triangle (Method I). The error level depends on the geometry, and a parameter space is presented by which we can estimate the error level of solutions. On the other hand, Method II employing three separate coordinate systems is developed. The error level given by Method II is moderate but less dependent on the geometry.

Corner cut, corner chamfered or a building shape change are adopted in the design of tall buildings to achieve aerodynamic superiority as well as response reduction. Kikuchi et.al pointed out that large negative peak external pressures can appear near the inside corner of set-back low rise buildings. It is therefore necessary to pay attention to facade design around steps in building surfaces. Peak wind pressures for corner cut or corner chamfered configurations are given in the AIJ code. However, they cannot be applied where there are many variations of vertical and horizontal steps. There has been no previous systematic research on peak wind pressures around steps in building surfaces. In this study, detailed phenomenon of peak wind pressures around steps in buildings are investigated focusing on vertical and horizontal distances from the building's corner.

Recently, advance in technology have increased the importance of visual inspection in semiconductor inspection areas. In PCB visual inspection, accurate line estimation is critical to the accuracy of the entire process, since it is utilized in preprocessing steps such as calibration and alignment. We propose a line estimation method that is differently weighted for the line candidates using a histogram of gradient information, when the position of the initial approximate corner points is known. Using the obtained line equation of the outline, corner points can be calculated accurately. The proposed method is compared with the existing method in terms of the accuracy of the detected corner points. The proposed method accurately detects corner points even when the existing method fails. For high-resolution frames of 3.5mega-pixels, the proposed method is performed in 89.01ms.

One of the main applications of FRP composites is confining concrete columns. Hence identifying the cyclic and monotonic stress-strain behavior of confined concrete columns and the parameters influencing this behavior is inevitable. Two significant parameters affecting the stress-strain behavior are aspect ratio and corner radius. The present study aims to scrutinize the effects of corner radius and aspect ratio on different aspects of stress-strain behavior of FRP confined concrete specimens (rectangular, square and circular). Hence 44 FRP confined concrete specimens were tested and the results of the tests were investigated. The findings indicated that for specimens with different aspect ratios, the relationship between the ultimate stress and the corner radius is linear and the variations of the ultimate stress versus the corner radius decreases as a result of an increase in aspect ratio. It was also observed that increase of the corner radius results in increase of the compressive strength and ultimate axial strain and increase of the aspect ratio causes an increase of the ultimate axial strain but a decrease of the compressive strength. Investigation of the ultimate condition showed that the FRP hoop rupture strain is smaller in comparison with the one obtained from the tensile coupon test and also the ultimate axial strain and confined concrete strength are smaller when a prism is under monotonic loading. Other important results of this study were, an increase in the axial strain during the early stage of unloading paths and increase of the confining effect of FRP jacket with the increase and decrease of the corner radius and aspect ratio respectively, a decrease in the slope of reloading branches with cycle repetitions and the independence of this trend from the variations of the aspect ratio and corner radius and also quadric relationship between the number of each cycle and the plastic strain of the same cycle as well as the independence of this relationship from the aspect ratio and corner radius.

This paper describes a corner matching technique for automatic relative orientation. Automatically matched corner points from stereo aerial images are used to a data set and help to improve automation of relative orientation process. A general corner matching process of overall image to image has very heavy operation and repetitive computation, so very time-consuming. But aerial stereo images are approximately seventy percent overlapped and little rotated. Based this hypothesis, we designed a sectional corner matching technique calculating correlation section by section between stereo images. Although the overlap information is not accurate, if we know it approximately, the matching process can be lighter. Since the size of aerial image is very large, corner extraction process is performed hierarchically by creating image pyramid, and corners extracted are refined at the higher level image. Extracted corners at the final step are matched section by section. Matched corners are filtered using positional information and their relation and distribution. Filtering process is applied over several steps because the thing affecting to get good result-good relative orientation parameter- is not the number of matched corner points but the accuracy of them. Filtered data is filtered one more during the process calculating relative orientation parameters. When the process is finished, we can get the well matched corner points and the refined Von-Gruber areas besides relative orientation parameters. This sectional corner matching technique is efficient by decreasing unnecessarily repetitive operations and contributes to improve automation for relative orientation.

두 개의 평판이 직각으로 만나는 corner에서 형성되는 층류 경계층을 입자영상유속계 기법을 이용하여 측정하였다. 자유류 유속은 2.96 ~ 3.0 m/s, 층류 경계층이 형성 될 수 있도록 모델에 대한 유동의 입사각을 1.2도로 하여 작은 순 압력구배를 제공하였다. 모델의 앞전은 둥근 형상으로 처리하였으며 모델의 길이는 약 1000mm이다. 측정 결과는 이등분면에서 corner 경계층의 전형적인 특징인 변곡점을 가지는 박리형 속도 분포를 보여주었다. 이등분면에서 멀어져 감에 따라 속도 분포는 평판의 Blasius 분포로 변해가고, 이등분면 경계층 두께의 약 절반만큼 평판을 따라 멀어지면 변화가 완료된다. 앞전에서부터 하류로 감에 따라 이등분면에서의 경계층 성장 및 속도 분포의 유사 상사성을 측정 결과로부터 확인하였다.

Corner detection and feature extraction are essential aspects of computer vision problems such as object recognition and tracking. Feature detectors such as Scale Invariant Feature Transform (SIFT) yields high quality features but computationally intensive for use in real-time applications. The Features from Accelerated Segment Test (FAST) detector provides faster feature computation by extracting only corner information in recognising an object. In this paper we have analyzed the efficient object detection algorithms with respect to efficiency, quality and robustness by comparing characteristics of image detectors for corner detector and feature extractors. The simulated result shows that compared to conventional SIFT algorithm, the object recognition system based on the FAST corner detector yields increased speed and low performance degradation. The average time to find keypoints in SIFT method is about 0.116 seconds for extracting 2169 keypoints. Similarly the average time to find corner points was 0.651 seconds for detecting 1714 keypoints in FAST methods at threshold 30. Thus the FAST method detects corner points faster with better quality images for object recognition.

본 논문에서는 웨이퍼 영상에서 다이 위치를 인식하기 위한 새로운 코너점 검출 방법을 제안한다. 웨이퍼 다이 위치 인식은 WSCSP(Wafer Scale Chip Scale Packaging)기술에 필수적인 과정으로서 웨이퍼 윗면의 다이 패턴을 얼마나 정확히 인식하느냐에 따라서 후 공정의 정확도가 결정된다. 본 논문에서는 정확한 다이 위치를 인식하기 위하여 계층적 명암 영상 코너 검출 방법을 제안한다. 새로운 코너 검출자는 코너 영역을 마스크 크기에 따라서 동심원으로 나누어 각각의 동심원에서의 코너성과 방향성을 구하여 정확한 코너점을 검출하도록 하였다. 또한 계층적 구조를 가지고 처리하여 기존의 명암 영상코너 검출자 보다 더 빠른 처리 속도를 얻을 수 있도록 하였다.

본 논문에서는 그림자가 존재하는 환경 하에서도 실제 코너만을 정확하게 추출할 수 있는 색상 기반 내잡음성 코너 검출자를 제안하였다. 먼저 그림자 경계에서 명도의 변화는 크지만 색상의 변화는 크지 않으므로 각 화소에 대한 HSI 색 공간에서 색상 가중 조합 벡터 기울기를 코너 검출자에 반영함으로써 그림자의 영향을 제거하고, 선택된 에지 화소 쌍의 색 변화 방향이 서로 반대 극성일 때는 코너 기여 가중치를 상쇄시킴으로써 불규칙 잡음에도 강건하게 코너를 검출하도록 하였다. 실험을 통하여 제안한 코너 검출자가 그림자 및 불규칙 잡음에도 강건하게 실제 코너만을 효과적으로 검출함을 확인하였다.

In this paper, a corner detection method based on a new non-cornerness measure is presented. Rather than evaluating local gradients or surface curvatures, as done in previous approaches, a non-cornerness function is developed that can identify stable corners by testing an image region against a set of desirable corner criteria. The non-cornerness function is comprised of two steps: 1) eliminate any pixel located in a flat region and 2) remove any pixel that is positioned along an edge in any orientation. A pixel that passes the non-cornerness test is considered a reliable corner. The proposed method also adopts the idea of non-maximum suppression to remove multiple corners from the results of the non-cornerness function. The proposed method is compared with previous popular methods and is tested with an artificial test image covering several corner forms and three real-world images that are universally used by the community to evaluate the accuracy of corner detectors. The experimental results show that the proposed method outperforms previous corner detectors with respect to accuracy, and that it is suitable for real-time processing.
