Three different deconvolution techniques for quantifying cerebral blood flow (CBF) from whole brain $T2^{\ast}-weighted$ bolus tracking images were implemented (parametric Fourier transform P-FT, parametric single value decomposition P-SVD and nonparametric single value decomposition NP-SVD). The techniques were tested on 206 regions from 38 hyperacute stroke patients. In the P-FT and P-SVD techniques, the tissue and arterial concentration time curves were fit to a gamma variate function and the resulting CBF values correlated very well $(CBF_{P-FT}\;=\;1.02{\cdot}CBF_{p-SVD},\;r^2\;=\;0.96)$. The NP-SVD CBF values correlated well with the P-FT CBF values only when a sufficient number of time series volumes were acquired to minimize tracer time curve truncation $(CBF_{P-FT}\;=\;0.92{\cdot}CBF_{NP-SVD},\;r^2\;=\;0.88)$. The correlation between the fitted CBV and the unfitted CBV values was also maximized in regions with minimal tracer time curve truncation $(CBV_{fit}\;=\;1.00{\cdot}CBV_{ Unfit},\;^r^2\;=\;0.89)$. When a sufficient number of time series volumes could not be acquired (due to scanner limitations) to avoid tracer time curve truncation, the P-FT and P-SVD techniques gave more reliable estimates of CBF than the NP-SVD technique.

Field or laboratory wheel tracking tests have been employed for the evaluation of the rutting potential of asphalt paving mixtures. Compared to field tests, laboratory wheel tracking tests are much less expensive and more manageable for most road projects. However, most test laboratories are not equipped to perform such tests because there does not exist any standard test procedure, and the required equipment is rather expensive. Futhermore, the size of test specimens and the relatively large quantity of test mixture required present difficulties for laboratory specimen mixing and compaction. This paper describes a project conducted to study the feasibility of replacing wheel tracking testsby a repeated-load creep test for rutting potential evaluation. Comparisons were made between the results of the two tests for different test temperatures, loading speeds and applied pressures. Three types of asphalt mixtures were studied in the test program. Favorable conclusions concerning the use of the repeated-load test for rutting potential evaluation were drawn based on the findings of the experimental test results. The correlation between the two types of tests was found to be good for all threeasphalt mixtures. Adopting the repeated-load creep test would lead to cost savings since it employs standard test equipment already available in most laboratories. It would also result in substantial time savings due to the much smaller quantity of mix needed, and the ease in specimen preparation.

Metal flow of the beam blank during H-beam rolling was examined in order to correlate the rolling defects with the beam blank configuration. For this purpose, H-beam rolling was performed on the beam blank where stainless steel bolts were inserted as the marker at the web and flange. The positional variation of the marker was monitored at each rolling pass, and the result was compared with the 3D FEM simulation employing the point tracking function. The simulation results were reasonably agreed with the experimental within the error of 0.5~1mm on both web and flange of the H-beam. It is anticipated that the 3D FEM simulation employing the point tracking function provides the guidance information on analyzing the correlation between the rolling defects and the beam blank configuration in H-beam rolling.

The photovoltaic module has the characteristic of changing its output characteristics depending on the amount of radiation and temperature, where the arrays that connect them in series and parallel also have the same characteristics. These characteristics require the MPPT technique to find the maximum power point. Existing P&O and IncCond cannot find the global maximum power point (GMPP) for partial shading. Moreover, in the case of Improved-GMPPT and Enhanced Search-Skip-Judge-GMPPT, GMPP due to partial shading can be found, but the variation in the open voltage during temperature fluctuations will affect the operation of the Skip and will not be able to perform accurate MPPT operation. In this study, we analyzed the correlation between voltage, current, and power under solar module and array conditions. We also proposed a technique to find the maximum power point even for temperature fluctuations using not only the amount of radiation but also the temperature coefficient. The proposed control technique was verified through simulations and experiments by constructing a 2.5 kW single-phase solar power generation system.

In this paper, an efficient signal tracking method to simultaneously track both GPS L1 C/A and Galileo E1B CBOC(6,1,1/11) using a low cost GPU is proposed. In the existing method that each GNSS signal is processed within 1 ms, more than 2 ms processing time is required in GPU to process 4 ms CBOC signal. It means that real time operation is possible if only Galileo E1B CBOC signal is concerned. But when both GPS C/A and Galileo CBOC is required, it cannot process GPS C/A signal in real time. To process 1 ms GPS C/A and 4 ms Galileo CBOC signal in real time, 4 ms Galileo CBOC signal is divided into 4 by 1 ms signal block in the proposed method. Specially, a buffer that simultaneously manages 1 ms and 4 ms signals is designed. In addition, a module that accumulates the 1 ms correlation value of the Galileo CBOC by 4 ms and passes it to the PLL and DLL is implemented. The operation and performance are evaluated with real measurements in the GPU based SDR. The experimental results show that tracking of more than 16 satellites of GPS C/A and Galileo E1B is possible using the proposed method.

본 논문에서는 DRM(Digital Radio Mondiale) 수신기를 위한 고속 동기화 방식을 제안한다. 제안하는 방식에서는 DRM 수신기에서 요구하는 고속 수신 성능을 만족시키기 위해 기존 동기화 방식에서 수행하는 초기 샘플링 주파수 동기과정을 생략하고 정수배 주파수(Integer Frequency) 동기 및 프레임(Frame) 검출을 수행한 후, 추적(Tracking) 과정에서 샘플링 주파수 동기를 수행한다. 샘플링 주파수 옵셋(Sampling Frequency Offset)이 포함된 OFDM(Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing) 복조 심볼로부터 프레임 옵셋을 추정하기 위해 참조셀(Reference cell)에 상관 기반 추정 알고리즘을 적용하고 그 성능을 분석하여 샘플링 주파수 옵셋에 강한 알고리즘을 선정한다. 제안된 구조는 DRM 수신 신호에 샘플링 주파수 옵셋이 존재하는 경우에도 초기 샘플링 주파수 동기화 과정에 소요되는 시간을 단축할 수 있으며, 참조셀간 차동 상관(Inter-cell Differential Correlation) 기법을 사용할 경우 초기 샘플링 주파수 옵셋의 영향에 강인함을 프레임 검출 모의실험을 통해 확인한다.

Recently, object detection is a critical function for any system that uses computer vision and is widely used in various fields such as video surveillance and self-driving cars. However, the conventional methods can not detect the objects clearly because of the dynamic background change in the beach. In this paper, we propose a new technique to detect humans correctly in the dynamic videos like shores. A new background modeling method that combines spatial GMM (Gaussian Mixture Model) and temporal GMM is proposed to make more correct background image. Also, the proposed method improve the accuracy of people detection by using SVM (Support Vector Machine) to classify people from the objects and KCF (Kernelized Correlation Filter) Tracker to track people continuously in the complicated environment. The experimental result shows that our method can work well for detection and tracking of objects in videos containing dynamic factors and situations.

A 2-frame PTV (particle tracking velocimetry) system using the concept of match probability between two consequent image frames has been developed to obtain instantaneous velocity fields. The overall 2-frame PTV system including image pre-processing, tracking algorithm and post-processing routine was implemented to apply to real flows. The developed 2-frame PTV system has several advantages such as high recovery ratio of velocity vectors, low error ratio and small computational time compared with the conventional 4-frame PTV and the FFT-based cross-correlation PIV technique. The 2-frame PTV system was applied to a turbulent channel flow over a rectangular block to check its reliability and usefulness. Total 96 sequential image frames have been captured and processed to get both mean and fluctuating velocity vector fields over the recirculating region. The mean velocity and turbulent intensity profiles were well agreed with hte LDV measurements in the separated region behind the block. Time-averaged reattachment length is about 6.3 times of the block height.

To follow a sound source by a mobile robot, the relative position and orientation of the sound source from the mobile robot have been estimated using a microphone array. In this research, the difference among the traveling times of the sound source to each of three microphones has been used to calculate the distance and orientation of the sound source from the mobile robot which carries the microphone array. The cross-correlation between two signals has been applied for detecting the time difference between two signals, which provides reliable and precise value of the time difference comparing to the conventional methods. To generate the tracking direction to the sound source, fuzzy rules are applied and the results are used to control the mobile robot in a real-time. The efficiency of the proposed algorithm has been demonstrated through the real experiments comparing to the conventional approaches.
