The vitual reality technology to assist fire activities has been developed using Geographic Information Systems (GIS). For this, the 3D-geographic information of Nagasaki city, Japan was constructed from tracing the aerial photograph and adding the height information of measured buildings including stairs. And also, with large multi-plane stereo presentation equipment called Immersible Projection Technology (IPT), and the 3D-digital map was presented in actual scale of town. As the result, the observer could obtain three-dimensional information in the various angles as if we can gain our experience at first hand, it will help to assist fire activities.

This paper reviews commercial wind mapping services provided by the oversea consulting companies, AL-PRO and anemos in Germany, AWS Truepower and 3TIER in USA. They provide quick-to-use but essential dataset for a preliminary assessment before commencing an actual feasibility study for wind farm development. Details of wind mapping method, mapresolution, data extraction height, price and so forth are compared and fresh service contents such as site analysis report are drawn from the comparison. Despite its public service, the objective value of the Renewable Energy Resource Map System of Korea Instistute of Energy Research is also confirmed and it is anticipated that the drawn new content idea will be ported to the system to enrich its applicability.

In order to investigate the offshore wind resources, the "QuikSCAT Level 3" data by the QuikSCAT satellite was analyzed from Jan 2000 to Dec 2008. QuikSCAT satellite is a specialized device for a microwave scatterometer that measures near-surface wind speed and direction under all weather and cloud conditions. Wind speed measured at 10 m above from the sea surface as extrapolated to the hub height by using the power law model. It has been found that the high wind energy prevailing in the south sea and the east sea of the Korean peninsula. From the limitation of seawater depth for piling the tower and archipelagic environment around the south sea, the west and the south-west sea are favorable to construct the large scale wind farm. Wind map and monthly variation of wind speed are investigate at the positions.

The purpose of this study is to present a fundamental data for evaluating aircraft noise of building site development. By the field experiments and the predicted equal noise level contours using the INM program, actual condition in the building site development arranged district was investigated. In order to get the results, Analysis of factors effected on noise level, sound level on the rate of increase to aircraft demand and difference on the aircraft noise levels according to floor level in apartment house was carried out. As a result the influence of the take-off and landing direction were appeared greatly. The influences of the height at receiving point, movement number of aircraft and increase to aircraft demand were appeared small And the influence of 1 day average WECPNL must be considered.

The construction of Kyungbu canal connecting Han and Naktong rivers is needed to facilitate the carriage of goods and enhance the economic growth. The two rivers are liflked by the Choryeong tunnel with 20.5 km length and 125 m altitude. Seven locks involving of 25 m lifting height are planned to reach the tunnel from Shingok dam along the Han river. The tunnel and dams are located favorably by topographic and geologic map analysis. The water needed to fill the chamber of high lock will he supplied by construction of additional dams above Chungju-dam and/or intmduction of water-saving lock system.

FastSLAM is a factored solution to SLAM problem using a Rao-Blackwellized particle filter. In this paper, we propose a practical FastSLAM implementation method using an infrared camera for indoor environments. The infrared camera is equipped on a Pioneer3 robot and looks upward direction to the ceiling which has infrared tags with the same height. The infrared tags are detected with theinfrared camera as measurements, and the Nearest Neighbor method is used to solve the unknown data association problem. The global map is successfully built and the robot pose is predicted in real time by the FastSLAM2.0 algorithm. The experiment result shows the accuracy and robustness of the proposed method in practical indoor environment.

This paper presents a novel system that analyzes and recognizes a gait based on shape context on silhouette images. The main functions of the system consist of three steps: First, the system extracts the silhouette images from galt image sequence by performing a simple pre-processing and acquires the AGM(Averaged Gait Map) by averaging them. Next. it computes the cross-correlation between the AGMs. Finally, it classifies the AGMs based on the cross-correlation using nearest neighborhood classification. The proposed system uses two cues to classify a gait: One corresponds to biometric shape cue such as body height width. and body-part proportions. The other corresponds to gait cue such as stride length and amount of arm swing. Perceptionally, the biometric cues are sailent on the double support (both legs spread and touching the ground) while the gait cues on the midstance. Through a variety of experiments, it is proved that the property of a gait is mainly influenced by gait cues than biometric cues.

Recently, there are increasing need to make a synthetic assessment about oceanic data which is collected over the various scientific field, in addition to just gathering oceanic data. In this study, we made a basic map using satellite image, aerial photo, multi-beam data, geological stratum data etc. And as well we are producing comprehensive SVT(Scientific Visualization Toolkit) which can visualize various kinds of oceanic data. These oceanic data include both survey data such as tidal height, tide, current, wave, water temperature, salinity, oceanic weather data and numeric modelling results such as ocean hydrodynamic model, wave model, erosion/sediment model, thermal discharged coastal water model, ocean water quality model. In this process, we introduce GIS(Geographic Information System) concepts to reflect time and spatial characteristics of oceanic data.

Newly developing SAR (Synthetic Aperture Radar) sensors commonly include high resolution X-band those data are expected to contribute various applications. Recent few studies are presenting potential of X-band SAR data in forest related application. This study tried to investigate the relationship between forest stand parameters and multi-band SAR normalized backscattering. Multi-band SAR data was radiometric corrected to compare signal from different forest stand condition. Then correlation coefficients were estimated between attribute of forest stand map and normalized backscattering coefficients. Although overall correlation coefficients are not high, only X-band shows strong relationship with DBH class than other bands. The signal of C- and L-band is composed of a large number of discrete tree components such as leaves, stems, even background soil. In forest, strength of radar backscattering is affected by complex parameters. Further study might be considered more various forest stand parameters such as canopy density, stand height, volume, and biomass.

It is presented in this study a new efficient intelligent machining strategy, which can be used to remove the uncut volume at the boundary region of curved surfaces caused by cutter interference. The geometric form definitions and recognition of topological features of the surface triangulation mesh are used to generate cutter paths along successive and interconnected steepest pathways, that minimize the cusp height left after flat end milling. In order to machine the uncut volume gradually, the z-map cutter centers are adjusted to avoid cutter interference for the 6 kinds of avoidance types. And then, the generative subsequent paths are sequenced to determine the second step cutter paths for the next uncut volume. For the 2 kinds of test models with convex and concave surface region, the implemented software algorithm is evaluated by investigating the residual swelling of uncut volume for each machining step.
