최근 ToF(Time-of-Flight) 방식의 깊이 센서 카메라가 깊이 영상 획득에 많이 사용되고 있다. 그러나 ToF 깊이 카메라가 제공하는 깊이 영상은 센서의 물리적 한계로 인해 잡음이 존재한다. 따라서 고품질의 깊이 영상을 얻기 위해서는 깊이 영상의 잡음을 제거해 주는 것이 필수적이다. 일반적으로 깊이 영상의 잡음 제거에는 joint bilateral filter 를 사용한다. Joint bilateral filter 는 기준 화소와 그 주변 화소의 색상 영상의 밝기 차이값과 화소간 거리값에 각각 가우시안 함수를 적용하여 joint histogram 을 생성하고 그 평균값을 기준 화소의 깊이값으로 채운다. 하지만 이 과정에서 깊이 영상의 경계 영역에서 흐려짐 현상이 발생한다. 경계영역에 발생한 흐려짐 현상은 최종적인 3D 입체 콘텐츠의 품질을 저하시킨다. 본 논문에서는 이와 같은 문제점을 해결하기 위해 joint histogram 의 최고점을 찾아 기준 화소의 깊이값을 채우는 기법을 제안한다. 최고점 탐색을 통해 기존 기법의 평균값을 통해 생기는 흐려짐 현상을 줄이고 깊이 영상의 경계를 보존하면서 잡음을 제거하였다. 실험을 통하여 제안하는 기법의 우수성을 확인하였다.

We fabricated the 1.55.mu.m RWG-DFB-LD and measured its electrical and optical characteristics. Interference fringe of optical beams was used for grating formation and epi layers were grown by lower-temperature LPE. The fabricated RWG-DFB-LD operated in a single longitudinal mode with more than 30dB SMSR at 1543nm emitting wavelength and its threshold current was 40mA. The wavelength shift with operating temperature and characteristic temperature T$_{o}$ were 0.9${\AA}/^{\circ}C$ and 59K, respectively. Linewidth enhancement factor .alpha. and linewidty.optical power product were estimated as 6.15 and 60MHz$\cdot$mW respectively.

A variety of Generation III/III+ water-cooled reactor designs featuring enhanced safety and improved economics are being proposed by nuclear power industries around the world in efforts to solve the future energy supply shortfall. Thermal-hydraulics is recognized as a key scientific subject in the development of innovative reactor systems. Phase change by boiling and condensation in the reverse process is a highly efficient heat transport mechanism that accommodates large heat fluxes with relatively small driving temperature differences. This mode of heat transfer is encountered in a wide spectrum of nuclear systems,and thus it is necessary to determine the thermal limit of water-cooled nuclear energy conversion in terms of economic and safety. Such applications are being advanced with the introduction of new technologies such as nanotechnology. Here, we investigated newly-introduced nanotechnologies relevant to boiling and condensation in general engineering applications. We also evaluated the potential linkage between such new advancements and nuclear applications in terms of advanced nuclear thermal-hydraulics.

Fouling and cleaning tests are performed for a uniquely designed 7,000 ㎉/hr fluidized bed heat exchanger for exhaust gas heat recovery. Fuel rich condition is maintained in the combustor for a limited time period to generate soot that is to be deposited on the heat transfer surfaces (fouling) and 600 Um glass beads are circulated inside the heat exchanger system for cleaning and enhancing the heat transfer performance. According to the present experimental study, performance degradation mode could be monitored and the effect of particle circulation on the heat transfer improvement could be identified. Through the present study, it is demonstrated that circulating particles contribute not only to the fouling reduction in gas side, but also to the heat transfer enhancement of the unit, while other possible aging factors including water side corrosion seemed to contribute to the accumulated performance deterioration.

IPTV broadcast channels and video content distribution are increasingly saturating network paths. New solutions based on inter-domain multicast protocols could contribute to the enhancement of multimedia content distribution over the Internet. The aim of this paper is to propose new capabilities for an existing inter-domain multicast protocol, the Protocol Independent Multicast-Sparse Mode. We describe the modified protocol and analyze its behavior using newly developed tools based on an open-source software simulator. The resulting protocol does not require topology information, which is advantageous for easier deployment. In addition, the adopted solution avoids inherent problems with inter-domain multicast routing, such as multiple paths and path asymmetries.

Even though efficiency of coal-fired power plant is proportional to operating temperature, increasement of operating temperature is limited by a technological level of each power plant component. It is an alternative plan to increase operating pressure up to ultra super critical point for efficiency enhancement. It is difficult to control process of power plant in ultra super critical point because that point has highly nonlinear characteristics. In this paper, new control logic, Unit Response Optimizer Controller(URO Controller) which is based on Fuzzy logic and Model Predictive Controller, is introduced for better performance. Then its performance is tested and analyzed with design guideline.

A 900MHz CMOS RF power amplifier with digitally controllable output power has been proposed and designed with 0.6${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ standard CMOS technology. The designed power amplifier was composed of digitally controllable switch mode pre-amplifiers with an integrated 4nH spiral inductor load and class-C output stage. Especially, to compensate the 1ow Q of integrated spiral inductor, cascode amplifier with a Q-enhancement circuit is used. It has been shown that the proposed power control technique allows the output power to change from almost 3dBm to 13.5dBm. And it has a maximum PAE(Power Added Efficiency) of almost 55％ at 900MHz operating frequency and 3V power supply voltage.

A number of studies have recently been made on hardware for a biological neuron f3r application with information processing functions of neural networks. We have been trying to produce hardware from the viewpoint that development of a new hardware neuron model is one of the important problems in the study of neural networks. In this paper, we first discuss the circuit structure of a pulse-type hardware neuron model with the enhancement-mode MOSFETs (E-MOSFETs). And we construct a pulse-type hardware neuron model using I-MOSFETs. As a result, it is shown that our proposed new model can exhibit firing phenomena even if the power supply voltage becomes less than 1.5[V]. So it is verified that our model is profitable for IC.
