This paper presents a multi-robot path planner for environment exploration and monitoring. Robotics systems are being widely used as data measurement tools, especially in dangerous environment. For large scale environment monitoring, multiple robots are required in order to save time. The path planner should not only consider the collision avoidance but efficient coordination of robots for optimal measurements. Nonlinear spring force based planning algorithm is integrated with the spatial gradient following path planner. Perturbation/Correlation based estimation of spatial gradient is applied. An algorithm of tuning the stiffness for robot coordination is presented. The performance of the proposed algorithm is discussed with simulation results.

This paper presents a new method of measuring the ground's gradient using LNS(land navigation system) navigation data. When a vehicle equipped with LNS arrives at any place, LNS provides its navigation data which contain the information on vehicle's motion. We developed some formulas which can explain correlation between the vehicle's motion and ground's gradient. The proposed method using those formulas is shown to be accurate and convenient.

The error diffusion algorithm is good for reproducing continuous images to binary images. However the reproduction of edge characteristics is weak in power spectrum an analysis of display error. In this paper an edge enhanced error diffusion method is proposed to improve the edge characteristic enhancement. Spatial gradient information in original image is adapted for edge enhance in threshold modulation of error diffusion. First the horizontal and vertical second order differential values are obtained from the gradient of peripheral pixels(3x3) in original image. second weighting function is composed by function including absolute value and sign of second order differential values. The proposed method presents a good visual results which edge characteristics is enhanced. The performance of the proposed method is compared with that of the conventional edge enhanced error diffusion by measuring the edge correlation and the local average accordance over a range of viewing distances and the RAPSD of display error.

Owing to advancements in intelligent transportation systems (ITS) and artificial-intelligence technologies, various machine-learning models can be employed to simulate and predict the number of traffic accidents under different weather conditions. Furthermore, we can analyze the relationship between weather and traffic accidents, allowing us to assess whether the current weather conditions are suitable for travel, which can significantly reduce the risk of traffic accidents. In this study, we analyzed 30000 traffic flow data points collected by traffic cameras at nearby intersections in Washington, D.C., USA from October 2012 to May 2017, using Pearson's heat map. We then predicted, analyzed, and compared the performance of the correlation between continuous features by applying several machine-learning algorithms commonly used in ITS, including random forest, decision tree, gradient-boosting regression, and support vector regression. The experimental results indicated that the gradient-boosting regression machine-learning model had the best performance.

A routing strategy based on traffic prediction and dynamic cache allocation for satellite nodes is proposed to address the issues of high propagation delay and overall delay of inter-satellite and satellite-to-ground links in low Earth orbit (LEO) satellite systems. The spatial and temporal correlations of satellite network traffic were analyzed, and the relevant traffic through the target satellite was extracted as raw input for traffic prediction. An improved gradient boosting regression tree algorithm was used for traffic prediction. Based on the traffic prediction results, a dynamic cache allocation routing strategy is proposed. The satellite nodes periodically monitor the traffic load on inter-satellite links (ISLs) and dynamically allocate cache resources for each ISL with neighboring nodes. Simulation results demonstrate that the proposed routing strategy effectively reduces packet loss rate and average end-to-end delay and improves the distribution of services across the entire network.

The present paper dealt with an experimental study of boiling heat transfer characteristics of R-290. Pressure gradient and heat transfer coefficient of the refrigerant flow inside horizontal smooth minichannel were obtained with inner tube diameter of 3.0 mm and length of 2,000 mm. The direct electric heating method was applied for supplying a heat to the refrigerant uniformly. The experiments were conducted with R-290 purity of 99.99%, at saturation temperature of 0 to $10^{\circ}C$, a mass flux range of $50{\sim}250kg/m^2s$, and a heat flux range of $5{\sim}20kW/m^2$. The heat transfer coefficients of R-290 increased with increasing mass flux and saturation temperature, wherein the effect of mass flux was higher than that of the saturation temperature. Heat flux has a low effect on the increasing of heat transfer coefficient. The heat transfer coefficient was compared with six existing heat transfer coefficient correlations. The Zhang et al.'s correlation (2004) gave the best prediction of heat transfer coefficient. A new correlation to predict the two-phase flow heat transfer coefficient was developed based on the Chen correlation. The new correlation predicted the experimental data well with a mean deviation of 11.78% and average deviation of -0.07%.

멤브레인 여과 실험에서 얻어진 데이터 처리에 간단한 수치해석을 적용하여 삼투압(osmotic pressure) 과 구배확산계수(gradient diffusion coefficient)를 도출하는 새로운 방법론을 제시하였다. 삼투압과 구배확산계수는 이론 및 실험적으로 쉽게 구할 수 없는 물리적 특성치로서 멤브레인 여과의 특성 규명에 중요하다. 모델 라텍스 콜로이드의 여과시간에 따른 투과플럭스(permeate flux) 값과 이에 대한 수치적분과 수치미분 데이터로부터 분산된 입자농도의 함수인 삼투압 관계식을 구했다. 이로부터 계산된 열역학적 계수(thermodynamic coefficient)는 입자농도가 증가할수록 감소하는 거동을 보였고, 여기에 기존에 제시되어 있는 수력학적 계수(hydrodynamic coefficient)를 도입하여 구배확산계수를 산출하였다. 아울러, 본 연구에서 계산된 입자농도에 따른 구배확산계수의 결과와 동일한 멤브레인과 라텍스 콜로이드의 여과에 대해서 기존에 통계역학적 시뮬레이션으로 예측한 결과를 비교하였다.

A detailed and thorough parametric study of digital image correlation method is presented. A theoretical background and development of the method were introduced and the effects of various parameters on the determination of displacement outputs from the raw original and deformed image information were examined. Use of the normalized correlation coefficient, the use of 20 to 40 pixels for a searching window side, 6 variables searching, bi-cubic spline sub pixel interpolations and the use of coarse-fine search are some of the key choices among the results of parametric studies. The displacement outputs can be further processed with two dimensional curve fitting for the data noise reduction as well as displacement gradient calculation.

항공영상으로 제작한 고품질의 해빙표면모델은 인공위성 기반 원격탐사 기술 개발을 위한 현장자료 뿐만 아니라 북극 해빙의 정밀한 형상학적 변동 특성 분석에도 효과적으로 사용될 수 있다. 그러나 해빙 표면의 부족한 텍스쳐 정보는 영상정합을 어렵게 만드는 요인으로 작용한다. 이에 본 논문에서는 고품질 해빙표면 모델 생성을 위한 일환으로 균질한 해빙 표면에 대한 정합비용함수들의 성능 비교 분석을 수행한다. 정합비용함수로는 영상 도메인의 SSD(sum of squared differences), NCC(normalized cross-correlation), ZNCC(zero-mean normalized cross-correlation), 주파수 도메인의 PC(phase correlation), OC(orientation correlation), GC(gradient correlation)를 분석하였다. 텍스쳐 정보량에 따른 정합 성능을 보다 명확하고 객관적으로 분석하기 위해 객체 공간 기반 정합 기법의 원리를 바탕으로 하는 새로운 평가 방법을 도입하였다. 실험결과는 해빙 표면과 같이 텍스쳐 정보가 희박한 지역에 대해서는 정합 지역에 따라 적합한 크기의 탐색창을 가변적으로 적용해야만 정합의 신뢰성 및 정확도 확보가 가능함을 보여주었다. 정합비용함수들 사이에서는 NCC와 ZNCC가 텍스쳐 정보 변화에 대해서 가장 우수한 성능을 나타냈다.

This article proposes a digital image correlation (DIC) strain measurement method based on a finite element (FE) algorithm. A two-step digital image correlation is presented. In the first step, the gradient-based subpixels technique is used to search the displacements of a region of interest of the specimen, and then the strain fields are obtained by utilizing the finite element method in the second step. Both simulation and experiment processing, including tensile strain deformation, show that the proposed method can achieve nearly the same accuracy as the cubic spline interpolation method in most cases and higher accuracy in some cases, such as the simulations of uniaxial tension with and without noise. The results show that it also has a good noise-robustness. Finally, this method is used in the uniaxial tensile testing for Dahurian Larch wood specimens with or without a hole, and the obtained strain values are close to the results which were obtained from the strain gauge and the cubic spline interpolation method.
