Vegetation classes, especially grass and tree classes, are often confused in classification when conventional spectral pattern recognition techniques are used to classify urban areas. This paper reports on a study to improve the classification results by using an automated process of considering height information in separating urban vegetation classes, specifically tree and grass, using three-band, high-spatial resolution, digital aerial imagery. Height information was derived photogrammetrically from stereo pair imagery using cross correlation image matching to estimate differential parallax for vegetation pixels. A threshold value of differential parallax was used to assess whether the original class was correct. The average increase in overall accuracy for three test stereo pairs was $7.8\%$, and detailed examination showed that pixels reclassified as grass improved the overall accuracy more than pixels reclassified as tree. Visual examination and statistical accuracy assessment of four test areas showed improvement in vegetation classification with the increase in accuracy ranging from $3.7\%\;to\;18.1\%$. Vegetation classification can, in fact, be improved by adding height information to the classification procedure.

Small yellow croaker is one of the important stocks in Korean waters. In this study, we conducted sea trials to estimate optimum height of a drift gill net for effective fishing of small yellow croaker. In the trial using existing net which has 9.2m in height, there was 22 species (1,180 fishes, 99.9kg) caught. The catch (in individuals) of small yellow croaker, especially larger fishes (over 22cm in FL), was higher as part of net height is higher, while the number of species bycaught and the catch of those species were higher as part of net height is lower. In the trial using extension net which has 18.4m in height, there was 27 species (2,030 fishes, 151.7kg). It showed same pattern with existing net in the section I to III, however, in the section IV which is over 13.8m of net height, the catch sharply decreased. The number of species bycaught and the catch of those species using extension net were also same as results using existing net. It showed that section III (9.2-13.8m) where is upper-middle part of the net has caught most of catch and large fishes having over 22cm in length. Through these results, it is judged that the setting depth of the net where is 4.6-13.8m above the sea bottom is the best to reduce bycatch and catch much more large size fishes, and the catch per net is proportional to filtering area of net. Therefore the Fisheries Resource Management Act (the clause 1, article 10) on the amount of usage for offshore drift gill net need to be considered not only length of a net but also net height.

In this study, we intended to develope a simulation program for assessing a building height whether or not acceptable for maintaining the visual quality of a forest landscape. A number of geographical factors were considered within the assessment procedure. As the visual quality of a landscape could vary according to the location of view points, we examined 3 methodologies for setting up the view points. The result for comparison between method of selecting viewpoints was not significantly effecting method of selecting viewpoints. Post hoc test showed a moderately large p-value and no significant differences between groups were observed. The result from a case study indicated that the simulation program is able to estimate an environmentally acceptable building height in an efficient manner. In this study, however, only the geographical factors were considered for the assessment, but forest dynamic information such as stand height was not considered. Thus, in the further study, forest stand height would be necessarily considered to estimate a more reliable and desirable building height.

This study was conducted to estimate the dimensions of horticultural products and the mean plant height of plug seedlings using three-dimensional (3D) images. Two types of camera, a ToF camera and a stereo-vision camera, were used to acquire 3D images for horticultural products and plug seedlings. The errors calculated from the ToF images for dimensions of horticultural products and mean height of plug seedlings were lower than those predicted from stereo-vision images. A new indicator was defined for determining the mean plant height of plug seedlings. Except for watermelon with tap, the errors of circumference and height of horticultural products were 0.0-3.0% and 0.0-4.7%, respectively. Also, the error of mean plant height for plug seedlings was 0.0-5.5%. The results revealed that 3D images can be utilized to estimate accurately the dimensions of horticultural products and the plant height of plug seedlings. Moreover, our method is potentially applicable for segmenting objects and for removing outliers from the point cloud data based on the 3D images of horticultural crops.

LED package with 4[mm]-height mold was manufactured and the surface temperature was measured directly using both thermocouple and thermal infrared (IR) camera. FVM simulation was conducted to estimate the surface temperature of the same LED package under the same condition, by which the accuracy of the simulation was secured. Then, the effects of the height and thermal conductivity of the mold on the junction temperature of the LED package were investigated by FVM simulation. The results showed that the junction temperature decreased by 10[$^{\circ}C$] when the mold height was 3~5[mm], but the thermal conductivity of the mold didn't affect the junction temperature significantly.

This paper deals with the issue of door height difference (DHD) which occurs for SBS refrigerator necessarily. In order to identify the cause of DHD, analysis of refrigerator structure and entire process from door manufacturing to usage have been investigated. From diverse experiments, it was found that the flatness of the floor was a main causing factor. In order to decrease the DHD , the effects of 6 design parameters to control of cabinet deformation have been investigated by using DOE(design of experiment) and finite element analysis. Based on the correlation equation, it was possible to estimate the DHD for new refrigerator design.

Various meleorologlcal dada obtained by SODAR system in shoreline area surrounding Boryung power plant have been analysed to investigate atmospheric diffusibility. Important conclusion may be summarized as follows; (i) Stability classification scheme based on co (standard deviation of wind direction in degree for averaging time of 1 hour) appears to evaluate certain atmospheric velocity and : indicate horizontal mean wind speed. Thus different scheme for stability classification seems to be preferable in order to appropriately estimate lateral and vertical dispersion coefficients cy and cz, respectively. (ii) As a result of comparisons between 3 available schemes for estimating of mixing height, best one turned out to be the double height scheme where height corresponds to maximum cw.

The objectives of this study were to examine the genetic variation of 20-year-old tree height and to estimate heritabilities and genetic gains of Korean white pine. Analysis of variance showed that families and family x block interaction had the significant (p=0.01) effects on tree height. However, family variation appears to be much greater than the variation due to family x block interaction. Individual tree heritability was higher ($h_I^2=0.73$) than family heritability, ($h_F^2=0.83$) therefore, combined selection showed the largest genetic gain (17.76%) in a given equal intensity of selection.

A digital 6-dof motion measuring system is developed using 7 accelerometers following Miles'[1] method. A snoic wave height gauge is also developed to measure the relative wave height at the foremost end of the ship. By combining the time series of both 6-dof motions and relative wave height, we can estimate the time series of real sea wave. Results of model tests shows the validity of the developed system.

In this paper the forming simulation of circular bulge by using PAM-STAMP has been performed to estimate the sheet metal forning and the plastic deformation characteristic of circular bulge. The uniaxial tension tests adn bulge tests are carried out for studying the forming characteristics of materials, and also Moire experiment are carried out for measuring the radius of curvature of the bulge and the polar compressive thickness strain. In order to compare the simulation results with the experiment and Hills theory, the relationships between redius of curvature adn polar height of the bulge, between hydraulic pressure and polar height, and between polar compressive thickness strain and polar height, are used. According to this study, the results of simulation and Hills theory are good agreement to the experiment. So, the results of simulation by using PAM-STAMP and Hills theory will give engineers good information to assess the formagbility and plastic deformation characteristic of hydraulic circular bulge test.
