Underwater images carry information that is useful in the fields of aquaculture, underwater military security, navigation, transportation, and so on. In this research, we transmitted an underwater image through various underwater mediums in the presence of underwater turbulence and beam attenuation effects using a high-speed visible optical carrier signal. The optical beam undergoes scintillation because of the turbulence and attenuation effects; therefore, distorted images were observed at the receiver end. To understand the behavior of the communication media, we obtained the bit error rate (BER) performance of the system with respect to the average signal-to-noise ratio (SNR). Also, the structural similarity index (SSI) and peak SNR (PSNR) metrics of the received image were evaluated. Based on the received images, we employed suitable nonlinear filters to recover the distorted images and enhance them further. The BER, SSI, and PSNR metrics of the specific nonlinear filters were also evaluated and compared with the unfiltered metrics. These metrics were evaluated using the on-off keying and binary phase-shift keying modulation techniques for the 50-m and 100-m links for beam attenuation resulting from pure seawater, clear ocean water, and coastal ocean water mediums.

A modified Michelson interferometer type digital holography microscopy system is developed. There is a problem about recording and numerical reconstruction area at the microscopy application of Michelson type interferometer structure in the digital holography field. In this paper, to overcome this problem, we developed a new reflection type digital holography microscope system and increased recording and numerical reconstruction area of target object.

As the flow velocity and Reynolds number increase in rockfill porous media, the flow deviates from Darcy conditions. In this study, the permeability tests of rock column specimen and laboratory gabion weir model were carried out to investigate a head loss behaviour of flow through rockfill deposition in small river artificial recharge. Through column test, the nonlinear relationships between flow velocity and hydraulic gradient and coefficients were determined and the correlation formula of hydraulic mean radius and coefficients was proposed. The flow velocities and discharges in voids estimated by proposed equations were well matched with the measured values of laboratory gabion weir model.

The Levenberg-Marquardt (LM) algorithm is the most widely used fitting algorithm. It outperforms simple gradient descent and other conjugate gradient methods in a wide variety of problems. Based on the work of paper[1], we propose a modified Levenberg-Marquardt algorithm for better performance of mobile system. The LM parameter at the $k_{th}$ iteration is chosen ${\mu}=A{\bullet}{\parallel}f(x){\parallel}{\bullet}I$ where f is the residual function, and J is the Jacobi of f. In this paper, we show this method is more efficient than traditional method under the situation that the system iteration is limited.

A modified model combining Kriging and Monte Carlo method (MC) is proposed for probabilistic estimation of tunnel face stability in this paper. In the model, a novel uniform design is adopted to train the Kriging, instead of the existing active learning function. It has advantage of avoiding addition of new training points iteratively, and greatly saves the computational time in model training. The kinematic approach of limit analysis is employed to define the deterministic computational model of face failure, in which the Hoek-Brown failure criterion is introduced to account for the nonlinear behaviors of rock mass. The trained Kriging is used as a surrogate model to perform MC with dramatic reduction of calls to actual limit state function. The parameters in Hoek-Brown failure criterion are considered as random variables in the analysis. The failure probability is estimated by direct MC to test the accuracy and efficiency of the proposed probabilistic model. The influences of uncertainty level, correlation relationship and distribution type of random variables are further discussed using the proposed approach. In summary, the probabilistic model is an accurate and economical alternative to perform probabilistic stability analysis of tunnel face excavated in spatially random Hoek- Brown media.

The current display systems including TVs are going digital and large-sized, and high visual quality of those systems becomes a very important selling point in the current display system market. Thus, various researches have been carried out for enhancing the visual quality of digital display systems. One of the important digital image(or video) enhancement techniques is sharpness enhancement, and it is generally based on a transient improvement technique that reduces the edge transition time. However, this technique often generates overshoot and undershoot, which cause undesirable pixel-level changes around the transient improved edge. In this paper, we propose a new nonlinear filter-based adaptive shoot elimination method for effectively suppressing the overshoot and undershoot that occur in the transient improvement, so that we can obtain visually sharper and clearer digital images(or videos). The proposed method uses two orthogonal directional min/max nonlinear filters with an adaptive shoot elimination scheme in order to effectively suppress the visually sensitive overshoot and undershoot. Experimental results show that the proposed method suppresses the overshoot and undershoot almost perfectly while maintaining the effect of the transient improvement. The applications of the proposed method include digital TVs, digital monitors, digital cameras/camcoders, portable media players(PMP), etc.

We report the complexation behavior of calix[4]arenemonoquinone-triacid (CTAQ), which is an electroactive and water-soluble receptor for calcium ion. UV-visible and NMR spectroscopic studies revealed that CTAQ in aqueous media forms 1:2 as well as 1:1 (metal ion:CTAQ) stoichiometric complexes with $Ca^{2+}$, $Sr^{2+}$, and $Ba^{2+}$ ions. The nonlinear fitting of titration curves based on UV-visible absorption spectra showed that the binding constants of CTAQ for $Ca^{2+}$ ion are 4 $({\pm}2){\times}10^6\;M^{-1}$ for 1:1 and 1.4 $({\pm}0.5){\times}10^{11}\;M^{-2}$ for 1:2 complex. NMR conformational studies and the titration curves corroborate that the $Ca^{2+}$:CTAQ complex in aqueous solution is not present in the form of merely 1:1 one, being consistent with UV-visible spectrophotometric results. The Monte Carlo simulation supports the presence of a stable conformer of 1:2 complexes in which a $Ca^{2+}$ ion is interposed between two CTAQs at the global minimum. This is the first model of 1:2 stoichiometric complex of calix[4]arene and alkaline earth ions in aqueous media.

This study proposes the characteristics of the pressure drop in a compressible fluid through porous media for application to a porous injector in a liquid rocket engine in order to improve the uniformity of the drop size distribution and the mixing performance of shear coaxial injectors. The fluid through the porous media is a Non-Darcy flow that shows a Nonlinear relation between the pressure drop and the velocity at high speed and high mass flow rate. The pressure drop of the Non-Darcy flow can be derived using the Forchheimer equation that includes the losses of viscous and inertia resistance. The permeability and Ergun coefficient represented as a function of the pressure drop and pore size can be applied to the porous injector, where the fluid through the porous media is compressible. A generalized correlation between the pressure drop in relation to the pore size was derived.

본 논문에서는 회귀문제를 위한 비선형 특징 추출방법을 제안하고 분류문제에 적용한다. 이 방법은 이미 제안된 선형판별 분석법을 회귀문제에 적용한 회귀선형판별분석법(Linear Discriminant Analysis for regression:LDAr)을 비선형 문제에 대해 확장한 것이다. 본 논문에서는 이를 위해 커널함수를 이용하여 비선형 문제로 확장하였다. 기본적인 아이디어는 입력 특징 공간을 커널 함수를 이용하여 새로운 고차원의 특징 공간으로 확장을 한 후, 샘플 간의 거리가 큰 것과 작은 것의 비율을 최대화하는 것이다. 일반적으로 얼굴 인식과 같은 응용 분야에서 얼굴의 크기, 회전과 같은 것들은 회귀문제에 있어서 비선형적이며 복잡한 문제로 인식되고 있다. 본 논문에서는 회귀 문제에 대한 간단한 실험을 수행하였으며 회귀선형판별분석법(LDAr)을 이용한 결과보다 향상된 결과를 얻을 수 있었다.

위성에 탑재된 전자광학 카메라(Electro-Optical Camera)로부터 획득된 영상에서는 카메라의 스캔 방향과 통일한 방향으로 "줄무늬잡음"이 발생하게 된다. 이는 센서의 특성이 통일하지 않고, 우주라는 열악한 환경에서 영상의 획득이 일어나기 때문이다. 똔 논문에서는 줄무늬잡음을 제거하기 위해 비선형 보정방법을 제안한다. 영상의 준균일성(quasi-homogeneous)과 센서특성의 시불변성(time-invariancy) 가정을 바탕으로, 보정하려는 열의 이웃 열을 참조하여 줄무늬잡음에 의한 오차를 추정하고 이를 최소화한다. 줄무늬 잡음 정도를 추정하기 위해 줄무늬잡음을 바이어스에 의한 것과 특성곡선의 경향 차이에 의한 것으로 나눈다. 바이어스에 의한 오차는 센서가 스캔하는 방향과 통일한 방향으로 통계적 특성을 이용하여 추정한다. 특성곡선의 경향차에 의한 오차는 보정하려는 열에서 동일한 박기 레벨을 갖는 화소들을 조사하고, 이들과 이웃하는 열의 동일 위치에 있는 화소의 밝기 레벨의 통계적 특성을 파악하여 추정한다. 이렇게 추정된 오차를 최소화함으로써, 줄무늬잡음을 효과적으로 제거하였다.적으로 제거하였다.
