We describe a method for localizing a mobile robot in the working environment using a vision system and VRML. The robot identifies landmarks in the environment and carries out the self-positioning. The image-processing and neural network pattern matching technique are employed to recognize landmarks placed in a robot working environment. The robot self-positioning using vision system is based on the well-known localization algorithm. After self-positioning, 2D scene is overlaid with VRML scene. This paper describes how to realize the self-positioning and shows the result of overlaying between 2D scene and VRML scene. In addition we describe the advantage expected from overlapping both scenes.

In order to reduce the cost of product and save the processing time, optimal nesting of two-dimensional part is an important application in number of industries like shipbuilding and garment making. There have been many studies on finding the optimal solution of two-dimensional nesting. The problem of two-dimensional nesting has a non-deterministic characteristic and there have been various attempts to solve the problem by reducing the size of problem rather than solving the problem as a whole. Heuristic method and linearlization are often used to find an optimal solution of the problem. In this paper, theoretical and practical nesting algorithm for rectangular, circular and irregular shape of two-dimensional parts is proposed. Both No-Fit-Polygon and Minkowski-Sum are used for solving the overlapping problem of two parts and the dynamic programming technique is used for reducing the number search spae in order to find an optimal solution. Also, nesting designer's expertise is complied into the proposed algorithm to supplement the heuristic method.

Geometric imperfections have an important influence on the buckling response of structural components. This paper describes an experimental technique for determining imperfections in long (5.7 m) structural members using a series of overlapping measurements. Measurements were performed on 31 austenitic stainless steel sections formed from three different production routes: hot-rolling, cold-rolling and press-braking. Spectral analysis was carried out on the imperfections to obtain information on the periodic nature of the profiles. Two series were used to model the profile firstly the orthogonal cosine and sine functions in a classic Fourier transform and secondly a half sine series. Results were compared to the relevant tolerance standards. Simple predictive tools for both local and global imperfections have been developed to enable representative geometric imperfections to be incorporated into numerical models and design methods.

In the view point of further reducing the inter-symbol interferences studied in our previous paper 〔1〕, a quadrature pair of wavelet-based filter banks that are composed of a pair of cosine and sine modulated filter banks is applied to MC-CDMA transmultiplexing. For that fact, the symbol duration gets twice longer than the one in , 〔1〕, the interference effects due to channel overlapping and Doppler spread can be effectively alleviated while increasing the channel utilization efficiency. Moreover, the well-known wavelet properties are exploited to design the prototype filter in such a way to maintain the size of sidelobes much smaller than those of the FFT, the interference reduction effect can be further obtained. To verify the behavior of our proposed quadrature filter bank based MC-CDMA system, the reverse-link bit error rates with respect to SNR under Rayleigh fading and additive white Gaussian noise channel environments are computed. The results show an improved system performance over the conventional MC-CDMA.

There are many moving-body problems to be solved, the solution of which necessary for proper design of flight vehicles in aerospace industry. Since a body moves relative to other bodies in the category of these problems, difficulty arises regarding both generation of computational grid around the body in motion and conservation of flow properties in the moving grid system. A few example could be store separation from the aircraft and relative vibration of multiple bodies in the high-speed flow passage. In this paper we report on the progress made in computing moving-body aerodynamics related with sabot separation characteristics. Conservative overlapping grid together with cell-merging-unmerging technique is used to solve the Euler equations for a body in high-speed motion. Carbuncle errors has to be removed before we obtain physically adequate solution. Two-dimensional application is reported here.

Unsteady flow simulation for the tiltrotor Smart UAV configuration was performed to investigate the powered rotor wake effect on aerodynamic characteristics. Calculations were performed to simulate various flow conditions based on different flight modes including hover, conversion and cruise. Three-dimensional compressible Navier-Stokes equation code were used for flow calculation and Chimera grid technique overlapping individually generated grids was employed. A dynamic grid method was adopted in simulation of the rotating blades. Flow calculations were also conducted for the un-powered case. Aerodynamic interaction between the rotor and airframe was investigated comparing three data sets from the un-powered, powered, and isolated rotor cases.

This paper introduces an improved surface matching algorithm that can be used to reconstruct the surface topography of an object that is scanned from multiple overlapping regions by an AFM. The essence of the image matching technique is stitching two neighboring images intentionally overlapped with each other. To enhance the computational efficiency, this paper introduces a pyramid matching algorithm which makes use of reduced images for primary images. The results show that the proposed image pyramid matching algorithm is useful fer enhancing the computational efficiency.

We designed and implemented a medical image query system, including a relational database and DBMS (database management system), which can visualize image data and can achieve spatial, attribute, and mixed queries. Image data used in querying can be visualized in slice, MPR(multi-planner reformat), volume rendering, and overlapping on the query system. To reduce spatial cost and processing time in the system. brain images are spatially clustered, by an adaptive Hilbert curve filling, encoded, and stored to its database without loss for spatial query. Because the query is often applied to small image regions of interest(ROI's), the technique provides higher compression rate and less processing time in the cases.

최근 서비스 패러다임이 언제나 같은 서비스를 제공하는 수동적 형태의 서비스에서 현재의 상황에 맞게 (context-aware) 서비스를 제공하는 능동적 형태의 서비스로 변화하고 있다. 이때 현재 상황(context) 중에서 가장 중요한 정보가 위치정보이다. 따라서 효율적이면서도 정밀한 실내 위치인식 방법에 대한 연구가 필요하다. 본 연구팀은 이러한 위치인식의 요구사항을 만족시키기 위해 WSN(Wireless Sensor Network)을 이용한 위치인식 시스템을 제안한 바 있다. 하지만 기존 방법은 높은 효율성에 비해 위치인식의 정밀도가 낮은 단점이 있었다. 본 연구에서는 기존에 제안한 위치인식 프로토콜의 단점을 보완하기 위해 fingerprint 중첩을 사용하여 보다 높은 정밀도를 가지는 위치인식 방법을 제안한다. 기존 LIDx 프로토콜과 제안한 방법을 병행함으로써 효율적이면서도 정밀한 위치 인식형 서비스가 가능할 것으로 기대한다.

Electron tomography (ET) is a useful tool to investigate three-dimensional details based on virtual slices of relative thick specimen, and it requires complicated procedures consisted of image acquisition steps and image processing steps with computer program. Although the complicated step, this technique allows us to overcome some limitations of conventional transmission electron microscopy: (1) overlapping of information in the ultrathin section covering from 30 nm to 90 nm when we observe very small structures, (2) fragmentation of the information when we study larger structures over 100 nm. There are remarkable biological findings with ET, especially in the field of neuroscience, although it is not popular yet. Understanding of behavior of synaptic vesicle, active zone, pooling and fusion in the presynaptic terminal have been enhanced thanks to ET. Some sophisticated models of postsynaptic density with ET and immune labeling are introduced recently. In this review, we introduce principles, practical steps of ET and some recent researches in synapse biology.
