In this paper, we propose a method that constructs a saliency map in which important regions are accurately specified and the colors of the regions are less influenced by the similar surrounding colors. Our method utilizes LBP(Local Binary Pattern) histogram information to compare and analyze texture information of surrounding regions in order to reduce the effect of color information. We extract the saliency of stereoscopic images by integrating a 2D saliency map with depth information of stereoscopic images. We then measure the distance between two different sizes of the LBP histograms that are generated from pixels. The distance we measure is texture difference between the surrounding regions. We then assign a saliency value according to the distance in LBP histogram. To evaluate our experimental results, we measure the F-measure compared to ground-truth by thresholding a saliency map at 0.8. The average F-Measure is 0.65 and our experimental results show improved performance in comparison with existing other saliency map extraction methods.

For a vehicle Anti-lock Braking System (ABS), the control target is to maintain friction coefficients within maximum range to ensure minimum stopping distance and vehicle stability. But in order to achieve a directionally stable maneuver, tire side forces must be considered along with the braking friction. Focusing on combined braking and turning operation conditions, this paper presents a new control scheme for an ABS controller design, which calculates optimal target wheel slip ratio on-line based on vehicle dynamic states and prevailing road condition. A fuzzy logic approach is applied to maintain the optimal target slip ratio so that the best compromise between braking deceleration, stopping distance and direction stability performances can be obtained for the vehicle. The scheme is implemented using an 8-DOF nonlinear vehicle model and simulation tests were carried out in different conditions. The simulation results show that the proposed scheme is robust and effective. Compared with a fixed-slip ratio scheme, the stopping distance can be decreased with satisfactory directional control performance meanwhile.

This study aims at finding relationships between the competitiveness of cities and the size or distance of them, based on some premises; (1) the competitiveness can be measured on the interval-ratio level, that is, factor scores, (2) a hypothesis that the spatial interaction model is valid for the relationships can be generally accepted. Based on the general recognition a research hypothesis that the more is the population or the nearer is the distance from a central city the higher is the competitiveness score is constructed. According to the premises 5-factor scores and composite score are calculated by means of regression method, and the scores are regressed on cities' populations and distances from Seoul city. Using bootstrapping method for the tests of significance is effective due to small sample of 21 cities. Results of the analyses show that most aspects of the hypothesis should be rejected or adjusted. Scores on Health-welfare factor, public service factor, and commercial vitality factor have no relation to the cities' sizes or distances. But the results also find the facts that the strong (negative) relationships exist between (1) educational base factor score and population, (2) density factor score and distance. Although this study improves systematic and analytic understanding of spatial interaction patterns, the understanding should be invalid for the general context because it has used the data on 21 cities in the capital region at the time of 2009.

To investigate the influence of the cutting pressure on the laser cutting quality, an expermental facility was constructed which can measure the cutting pressure distribution for various cutting conditions. Flow visualization was performed using the Schlieren photography and the pressure acting on the workpiece surface was measured, corresponding to the important process variables such as the kind of assist gas, nozzle pressure, distance between the nozzle exit and the workpiece surface, and the presence of the secondary nozzle. The cutting pressure acting on the workpiece was largely influenced by the nozzle pressure and nozzle-workpiece distance. The secondary nozzle which is used to raise the effective working pressure had its obvious role only when the angle between it and the main nozzle was small and when the distance between the nozzle exit and the workpiece surface was large.

Broadcasting is fundamental and effective data dissemination mechanism for route discovery, address resolution, and many other network services in mobile ad hoc networks. Although many approaches for broadcasting have been proposed to minimize the number of retransmissions, none of them guarantee the best-suited bounds of retransmissions. Appropriate use of probabilistic method can lower the chance of contention and collision among neighboring nodes, so that it reduces the number of rebroadcasts. In this paper, we propose a probabilistic approach that dynamically adjusts the rebroadcasting probability according to the distance between the sender and the receiver. While the rebroadcast probabilities of a mobile node close to sender will be set lower, the rebroadcast probabilities of a mobile node far away from sender wi1l be set to higher, The rebroadcast probability of a node wi1l be set according to the distance from sender. We evaluate the performance of proposed approach by comparing it with flooding as well as a fixed probabilistic broadcast approach. Simulation results showed that the performance of proposed scheme outperforms by about $70\%$ than flooding scheme and outperforms by about $20\%$ than fixed probabilistic scheme.

유성 버스트 통신은 NLOS 데이터 전송을 필요로 하는 1200km 이상의 장거리 VHF 통신로에서 효율적이며 경제적인 수단을 제공한다. 그러나, 유성 버스트 통신은 지금까지 버스트 주기의 감소로 인한 시스템의 총 도통율의 저하로 인하여 700Km 이하의 근거리통신에는 적합하지 않다고 알려져 있다. 이에 본 논문에서는 매우 짧은 근거리의 MB(Meteor Burst) 경로의 특성을 실험적으로 소개한다. 또한 경산시와 안동시간 50Km 간에서의 도통율과 평균 도통시간을 측정하여 산악지대 및 계곡에서의 근거리 유성버스트 통신로의 효용성을 실험을 통하여 나타낸다.

연마재 워터젯을 이용하여 다양한 영향변수에 따라 암석시편에 굴착(제거)실험을 수행하였다. 현장암반굴착 가능성을 판단하기 위해 신선한 경암(화강암) 시편을 기준으로 수압, 노출시간, 그리고 이격거리에 따라 굴착성능 및 굴착형상을 분석하였다. 특히 이격거리는 현장에서 요구하는 높은 수준의 조건에서 실험을 실시였다. 추가적으로 암석에 따른 굴착성능을 비교하기 위해, 실제 굴착현장에서 획득한 암석시편을 대상으로 P파 속도를 측정하여 동일한 조건에서 워터젯 실험을 수행하였다. 획득된 실험결과로부터 워터젯 변수가 암반제거에 미치는 영향을 분석하였다.

The objective of this paper is to evaluate the feasibility of conjunctive Operation between Multi-regional water supply networks from multiple source as a effective way to meet two conditions: to minimize the electric cost for providing water demanded and meet the water flow rate for satisfying customers. EPAnet Model is used to calculate a hydraulic water distribution condition based on an integrated operation of water supply systems located in short distance. The modeling was conducted on several simulation cases including the individual operation by existing inter-regional water supply networks within short distance, the conjunctive operation of more than two existing networks with valve fully closed and full open constraint. As a study distribution system, water supplying systems of the Geojae-city in the Geongsang Namdo Province was selected and investigated. It was found that a well-allocated water supply scheme based on a conjunctive operation promises to save the electric cost and satisfy all operational goals such as stability and revenues during the period. The result such as unit district costs, pareto optimum pump combination sets will be applied to the optimization for a conjunctive operation of existing inter-regional water supply networks within short distance.

In this paper, we propose the method to eliminate EMI (Electro-Magnetic Interference) in ELF (Extremely Low Frequency) band below 2 KHz for extending the gesture-recognition distance of smart TVs to more than 3m using electric potential sensor. First, we measure the electric field generated from the back panel of a TV and propose the effective arrangement of two sets of differential sensors as well as the shielding method using metal fiber. Also, we eliminate the PLN (Power Line Noise) and other noise generated from the TV and sensors as well as surrounding environments using filters. Using the proposed EMI eliminating methods, we evaluate displacement ratio on measured signals according to distance between sensors and a moving hand. Experiment results show that our proposed method can extend the hand-gesture sensing distance using EPS (Electric Potential Sensor) up to more than 3m, which is enough to satisfy applicability of EPS based remote control to Smart TVs.
